Military assistance

Posted at 17:00


Former Tory Cabinet minister and Conservative peer Lord Tebbit asks if the UK has considered providing any military assistance to Nigeria's "incompetent army" in defeating Boko Haram.

He argues that Boko Haram's activities are a "continuation" of the 1970s Nigerian civil war, exacerbated by the corruption of the Nigerian government and the "vicious spirit" of Islamic extremism.

Baroness Anelay says the UK will not send its own troops to Nigeria but that the UK is helping to train the Nigerian army.

The whole world knows about the incompetent people running our military and the stupid, uneducated people in the Department of State Security.

Good they are all aware of the corrupt and stealing Government in Power.

GEJ have no hiding place after May 29, 2015

Your signature got me cracking sis,

It may not matter to him but it surely shows the West is not blind to the ineffective and inept leadership in Power in Nigeria.

The sole reason the UK have not come down hard on his government is because of the Diplomatic Immunity he enjoys, watch out how they turn their back after he lose the general elections in FeBUHARI 14.

Abacha's Billions that he kept hidden were not revealed until he was out of power, same with Ibori, they waited until they were out of power.

Watch out for the way the daft, stupid and corruption edifying thief is treated like a Leper when he is out of power.

All the Billions Mama Peace, Diezani and his other cohorts fronting for him are keeping are tracked and monitored and will be returned like the loots of Abacha were returned.

Conservative MP Richard Fuller asks what the government will do to combat the actions of Boko Haram in Nigeria.

The Islamist militant group controls about 20,000 square miles of territory in the Nigeria.

Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has declared an emergency in three states.

Recent violence in the country is the subject of an urgent question, which follows shortly

The Boko Haram insurgency has gone dangerously out of control. Baga was sacked last week. Baga is where the MNJTF -(Multi National Joint Task Force) base is situated, consisting of soldiers from Nigeria, Cameroon, Tchad and Niger republic.

Technically, The MNJTF base at Baga is the strongest military formation in whole of west africa but Boko fighters have taken over the base. As things are now, there is no armed force in any country within west africa that can tame the Haramites again. We need foreign military intervention now.

Jonathan's incompetence is embarrassing Nigeria before the international community

Responding to the statement Labour Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Baroness Morgan of Ely says despite the attacks in Paris last week the world must not "lose sight of terrorist attacks taking place elsewhere".

She argues that bilateral action is needed to end the terrorist attacks in Nigeria and asks for details on what is being done to coordinate international action against Boko Haram.

Nigeria as an independent sovereign will call for foreign intervention to have troops on the ground before it can be assisted.

It is either jonaTAN is willfully trying to decimate the population of the North East or is listening to lies and boasts of his military chiefs that they are equal to the task which is a blatant lie.

When Mali faced similar threat to its territorial integrity, It called on France for direct Military Intervention and the terrorist were driven back out of Northern Mali and Timbuktu

You are correct. The Boko Haram insurgency has gone out of control, it is more serious than we imagine. The casualty figures of the massacre at Baga is much more than what was reported in the media and Amnesty International

Sadly, a Buhari presidency cannot stop Boko Haram except we call for foreign military intervention which includes foreign combat forces. The Nigerian army cannot defeat Boko Haram again

Don't worry, foreign soldiers will be stepping there legs on Nigeria soil wthin Feb 14th to May 29th. I just hope u ain't in the wrong place when the sh1ts start happening.

This is humiliation, it has passed embarassment.
A passer-by would think we are still under colonial rule and have no leaders of our own.
Anyway till FeBuhari.

You mean that "No CORRUPT government with Incompetent Army within West Africa can tame Boko Guys?

If this is what you mean, I think I will agree with you.
