How will they have such issues when they hardly even do the needful. It's more like do your thing and I do mine. Secondly, the terrorist there are still learning compared to what we have here.

Funny thing you said, can you tell us any country in the world you can easily import arms in large numbers unchecked?
You are not even seeing where military intelligence failed you are basically scratching the surface, now let me teach you how sensible countries like Sri Lanka operate;

They bomb the living hell out of you then deny you access to arms, what will you fight back with? stone?? Stop sugar coating failure, a country with no consequence management is completely finished!! That is the biggest problem of this administration & many before it.

Who is charge of those MRAPS ISWAP took?
what contingency plan was made for scenarios like this & was it activated quick enough?
Where is the Pilot that bombed our soldiers?
Let me guess, they are making calls to big men to save their arses then you wonder why we sink lower.

In terms of landmass and population size, Benin republic is bigger than Kano state. No state in Nigeria is as big as Benin republic.

See eh, the Nigerian police force needs to be decentralise. The states should be the ones employing and arming their policemen.

There is absolutely no improvement in the Nigerian police from 1999 till 2021, and with the way things dey go, this guys are not ready to change.

Is there a law that states a policeman can search a car for no absolute reason? Policemen checking papers and driving license is even against our Constitution. I thought only VIO's have the right to check papers.

Anybody can correct me if am wrong please.

Rivers state gov't has declared curfew in all land borders in the state because of the recent development in the state, AkwaIbom is also heating up.
I remember making a post here that the crises in the south east can potentially spill over to some south South state but a certain troll jumped in to disgrace himself. The military keep opening new fronts all over the country unnecessarily when we are not capable of managing the one already created, we should keep on complicating issues till the country caves in.

Covert1:
iSWAP to all intents and purposes have the appearance of enhanced services of Spec Ops advisors. The forces in this war are not taking anything for granted. They want a weak Nigeria. The pattern of attacks, carefully crafted and choice of attacks is not average in military terms. The Nigerian military should be commended for its efforts not pilloried. More to come.

People in the southeast have this incredible misconception that the southsouth belongs to them. Some fools like beegeagle seem to believe that the southsouth is a base for southeastern militancy. You guys need to stop linking us southsouth to the southeast, we are two different peoples in two different regions. When you are talking about the southeast, there is no need to include the Southsouth in that talk !

The southsouth is a region in it's own right, not a property belonging to the southeast or to any other region.

It is very irritating to constantly see people from other regions claiming to speak for the southsouth as if the southsouth was a conquered people !
We are not a conquered people !

This is what I'm talking about the DSS. They leave the real threats to the soul of the country and pursue petty issues like this. I keep on saying this we are not serious at all. Only the army and NAF are commited to this fight against insurgency the rest are just collecting salaries.

Remember Nigeria isn't Sri lanka. And also remember it took Sri Lanka close to 30years to be able to deal with the Tamil Tiger Rebel Group. Lastly the situation in Nigeria is far different to that of Sri lanka

Hoverbird:

Who are the people speaking for South South and give us instances. We are talking about security implications in South east Region having the possibility of spilling over to the south South and you're talking gibberish, is the South South ethnically as homogeneous as the south east? When people discuss security matters please pocket your emotions.
Speak for yourself and not for the numerous ethnic group within that geographic space.

Truthshots2:


1) the southeast is not a homogeneous region
2) the peoples of the southeast had nothing in common when the British conquered them(except cannibalism and backwardness), the British had to bring them together due to the logistical nightmare of ruling over thousands of small tribes.
3) the southsouth is way more homogeneous than the southeast, indeed most of the southsouth was part of the same precolonial country (Benin Kingdom).
4)It is weird you have problems with a person of the south-south supposedly speaking for the south south and claiming the south-south doesn't belong to any other region but to the southsoutherm people, yet you have no problems when your fellow southeasterners on this forum or some deluded fools on twitter speak on behalf of the southsouth in a tone basically calling it a property of the southeast.

iboboyswag:


Oga this is not a prick sizing contest... Take your insecurities elsewhere.

What we discuss here is National security and more in recent times as it pertains to the fight against insurgency in the North East and other parts of the country.

Anything outside of this is derailing and we would not hesitate to report you and your post to the MOD for blocking.

Calm yourself down before you get high blood pressure, I am responding to a comment. Try and act as if you had a brain.

The British even banned most of the traditions in the southeast due to cannibalism concerns. That is why you guys basically have no traditions today.
3) the southsouth is way more homogeneous than the southeast, indeed most of the southsouth was part of the same precolonial country (Benin Kingdom).
4)It is weird you have problems with a person of the south-south supposedly speaking for the south south and claiming the south-south doesn't belong to any other region but to the southsouth and it's people, yet you have no problems when your fellow southeasterners on this forum or some deluded fools on twitter speak on behalf of the southsouth in a tone basically calling it a property of the southeast.

You're an illiterate and don't have the intellectual wherewithal to make enlightened engagement in this thread, go back to romance or crime section that's where your kind belongs.

Seriously this is getting out of hand. The NA is just giving up weapons I think other armed forces in the region
dream about. How can you have such a defense budget and such arsenal but yet keep having your ass whooped up by guys with sandals and AK47. [/b]NA has become a mall center for those guys.look at MRAPs just delivered this month is already in BH or ISWAPs hand. Those same equipments would be turned and used against neighboring nations.
It's really a pity when I see what the NA has become.

kikuyu1:


The budget is TINY! Naij spent some 900 mn USD for 120 k.
We spent 1.2 bn USD for 30k.
Pakistan 10.3 bn for 650k.
South Africa budget is 4.3 bn for 90k active and reserve personnel.
Per capita, only the Saffas outspend us. Tbh, its a miracle the NDF has come this far. Pay, training, acquisitions, welfare etc, etc the strain must be ENORMOUS.
IMO, the Brass would ideally come to a short term modus vivendi with BH allowing them to work out a deal with the Treasury and Aso Rock to collect at LEAST an extra billion dollars yearly for training, kit and platforms to properly prosecute the war.

Faithful007:
I didn't say it's because of loans. I'm saying that most of Nigeria's gas is exported to the US. I ain't even thinking about oil, most of our oil is India I think. I didn't really understand your second paragraph.

Concerning your earlier post, Buhari isn't asking for Fort Bragg or JBA. Africom though having the capacity for about 10000 troops usually has no more than 1200 people on base. It's mostly for recon BTW.

I only responded to a comment with a relevent answer to that comment. It is funny you didn't ask the person making that comment to comply with the topic, but you ask the guy responding him to ...
Don't you need to apply the same rules to everybody ? Or is it one rule for one and an other rule for an other person ?
