Boko Haram’s Deadly Attacks And The Whole Truth - Thisdaylive! by Elose11(m): 5:28pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
The two deadly attacks carried out by Boko Haram in Maiduguri and Monguno last Sunday did not come as a surprise to me. But it deeply hurts me anytime these bastards strike. Innocent people are usually the victims. By official records, 81 people died in the two attacks. I believe this government was economical with the casualty figures. This has been the usual practice for weeks now. Residents caught up in the explosions said about 200 people lost their lives in the attacks. These attacks put to question claims by this administration and the military that progress was being made in the war against terrorism. The Buhari administration has simply been grandstanding about taming Boko Haram; all words with little result. The most painful aspect of the recurring attacks is that many now go unreported. There is big cover up going on to deceive the people. A good example here is the killings in Jibe, Disha, Patawe, Kwatara and Hambagda villages of Borno State last week. They were only exposed when some of the villagers were able to make their way to Maiduguri. It is now obvious that all these talks by the military about Boko Haram members surrendering in their hundreds are just propaganda. Let me say it straight away: I don’t believe that the military is making much progress in the war against Boko Haram. The number of innocent people killed is on the rise because the terrorists are firmly on ground in many villages in Borno State. It is also sickening that Boko Haram suspects are being released by this administration to go and do more harm. Even the soldiers that ran away from the war fronts and Court Marshaled are being reinstated. Muhammadu Buhari and his administration have simply been deceiving Nigerians. Many can now see that the President’s vow to end terrorism within two- months was part of the deceit to get power. As reality dawns, the facts are emerging. Boko Haram has grown bigger than Buhari thought. We are in this dire situation because Buhari and his cohorts played politics with the Boko Haram crisis. They allowed it to get out of hand by refusing to cooperate with the Jonathan administration. They used the crisis as a major campaign point. At a point, they were even giving subtle encouragement to the terrorists because they wanted power at all cost. This emboldened the terrorists; Boko Haram grew very big and even went into alliance with ISIS. It is now a monster. Many will still remember Buhari’s infamous statement on Sunday, June 2, 2013 in a programme on Liberty FM Radio Kaduna in which he said: “While the Niger Delta militants were treated like kings, the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad which some people call Boko Haram are being killed and their houses destroyed unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants. This is injustice to Northern Nigeria.” This is the result we are getting today. As at the last count, about 1300 people have been killed by Boko Haram in 120 days, under Buhari’s watch. We have never had it so bad. The most frightening reality is that this administration does not have the slightest idea about how to end Boko Haram. From the result we are getting from the field, it is clear that Buhari has no blueprint on how to end terrorism. This is the truth that must be told; and this is why the killings have continued. This is also the reason why the prosecution of the war has been slipshod. Under Buhari, Boko Haram captured Dikwa and Gamboru Ngalla. These towns were only recently recaptured. If we are not careful, these bastards will start taking territories again. So, where is the “change” promised? Buhari has simply been doing precisely what Jonathan did – run to Chad, Cameroon, Niger, United States, France, G7 and the rest of them. So, what has been the impact of all these trips on the war against Boko Haram? What have we gained from Buhari’s visit to the United States? Nothing! Our dear President simply wasted time and resources. He went crawling to a country that has never been our friend in the war against terrorism. It was despicable watching Buhari begging President Barack Obama for arms and funds to fight Boko Haram. At the end of the day, Obama did not make any commitment on counter- terrorism assistance to Nigeria. If Buhari is still expecting Barack Obama and the G7 countries to help him with arms to fight Boko Haram, then, he must be a big joker. Just like Jonathan, he is already celebrating a worthless negotiation with the terrorists. How did we get to this situation where the Nigerian nation is the one talking about negotiation with terrorists? I thought we are supposed to pummel them to a level where they will beg for negotiation? So, what is the way forward? It is very sad that Buhari contested and won election without any blueprint for the problematic sectors of this country. Buhari must swiftly put together a Think Tank that will come up with a blueprint on how to effectively tackle Boko Haram. It must be made up of people (from within and outside Nigeria) versed in modern war fare; not type- writer experts like those that advised that the Military Command and Control Centre be moved to Maiduguri. From the result we are getting, this ill-advised movement has not achieved anything. The Pentagon was not moved to the gulf region before United States troops decapitated Iraqi forces. Again, we should be moving closer to Russia and China if we want to decapitate Boko Haram. I said this few weeks back. We made progress when we had mercenaries and Russian experts on ground, working with our military on the war front. That was why the Jonathan administration was able to recover captured territories. Contracts with these mercenaries and Russian experts were cancelled by Buhari immediately he assumed office; he even mocked the military, saying that they relied on the experts in the war against terrorism. This is why we are getting these frightening results. For those who are saying that our military should take on the terrorists alone, my response is very simple: Only very few military in this world can tackle terrorism alone. This is why a multi-national force is tackling ISIS in the Middle-east. We must get the best brains from anywhere in the world to help us actualise our dream of wiping out terrorists. No country’s military can be an island on its own in modern warfare. Just as I clearly stated in an earlier piece, the suicide bombers are within the country, manufacturing and using Improvised Explosive Devices. They are using petrol and gas cylinders, all obtained within the country. Intelligence gathering and technology are vital for detecting and curtailing the deadly activities of these suicide bombers. We need Russia and China here. Community policing is also key. We need to put our internal security in order instead of just running to G7 leaders, Chad, Niger, Cameroon and the rest of them. Of course, leadership matters a great deal if we are to curtail terrorism. Buhari needs to be told that competence is a key factor in leadership. Ability to identify competent people and then making positive use of them is also vital in leadership. The point I am making here is that we need a leader who combines competence and honesty if we are to win this war against Boko Haram and other challenges facing this country. For now, I don’t think we have that leader. A man cannot give what he does not have. May Allah save us from Boko haram. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

We have lost it in this country, I can't see the light, I can't see hope they promised us. I still can't understand why some people put all their hope on Bubu, the guy is fake and dull at the same time. My body language (not Bubu's body odour) tells me the country may not last as some people feel. If these guys are not curtailed timely, they will spread to the south and that spells doom for this nation. God help us Lalasticlala, food don done. 4 Likes |

So the media houses Buhari was accused of clamping down have now joined hand by not reporting boko haram attacks? So APC and the federal government now controls all the media houses in Nigeria,except thisday? The reinstainment of the court martialed soldiers was haled as a very wise move by the government by every right thinking person,except this deluded writer. I guess lining them up to a firing squad would have been the best solution........genius. If you don't believe the Army is decimating the insurgents,your own cup of tea,can't and won't begrudge you.

Something is not right here because if PMB and Buratai could assure us that the war against Boko Haram is won already, then there shouldn't be any cause for alarm. Therefore, I think we should go to Monguno to see things ourselves, but I'm gonna need 16 volunteers for this mission titled “Operation Sambisa Whirlwind.” 1.) Field Marshall Omenka, 2.) Brigadier General Passingshot, 3.) Brigadier General Egift, 4.) Brigadier General NgeneUkwenu 5.) Air Vice-Marshall Gbawe, 6.) Air Commodore Ibnsultaan 7.) Rear Admiral Donphilopus 8.) Rear Admiral OrlandoOwoh 9.) Rear AdmiralMidolian 10.) Major General Ebukaobi, 11.) Major General Vicadex07, 12.) Major General DabullIT, 13.) Colonel SonofLucifer, 14.) Traitor Cramjones a.k.a FFK, 15.) DSP Obiagelli, and 16.) PPRO Beremx. Two additional volunteers (preferably DSP Pentiumpro & PPRO Ishilove ), will stay with me at the control center, while others will be our eyes and ears on the ground in Bama. But first, let me down this bottle of RedLabel before we get started. 8 Likes |

This is obviously a biased piece of propaganda by the anti-PMB group. A genuine objectively critical piece should not be devoid of also stating the success of the present campaign strategy against the terrorist group that GEJ has greatly popularized over the years by his high display of incompetence, ignorance and poor leadership capacity. I have first hand info from genuine sources(north-east civilian residents not some biased political/religious faithfuls) who have expressed confidence that though they still live in fear, they now have high hopes that it will be better soon as the Nigerian military is becoming more offensive against the terrorists unlike the reverse case in the past years. 2 Likes |

The military (especially the army) are our only hope of defeating BH. Without a strong military personnels/tactic/equipment/ (backed up by economic/social logistics) it will be virtually impossible to win the war. This write up is obviously from an anti PMB propagandist. We are all living witnesses of how BH USED to chase our soldiers, capture army bases and seize their weapons. BH once controlled a sizable portion of Nigerian territory at some point. The story has CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY! BH has now gone into the hit-n-run typical style of terrorist operation around the world compared to head-on confrontation with the NA a few months ago. We used to hear of BH going to schools and staying for hours killing innocent children. We heard of BH kidnapping over 200 girls. How easy do you think they can do that now (i.e moving hundreds of captives in lorries without being confronted). Anybody that expect BH to be wiped out within this short time just being mischievous to say to say the least. That being said, their is still A LOT OF ROOMS FOR IMPROVEMENT. I blamed the previous administration for not blocking the source of finance to BH. That is still not done. I believe war is expensive and without money for BH to pay for weapons, replenishment of artillery and logistics, the battle will be easier for our brave soldiers. I expect some of their financiers and logistic providers to be cooling off in prison now. Although some of BH supply route have been identified and blocked and grass-root logistic providers arrested (a significant improvement from the past administration incompetence), it is still not enough. The big ogas at the top need to be in maximum prison. I believe shekau reports to some "big men". These are the main people that should be in prison at least. In all, BH is obviously still a major treat to lives and properties, but to say BH is still as strong as ever is just plain stu!pd or at least mischievous. 1 Like |

DaBullIT: That is not the point bro. The point is that PMB knew that GEJ could not do it in 5yrs, and then promised to do it in less than 2months if elected when he actually knew he can not, bros, that is pure and utter deceit. That is fraud. (Weather the 2months is attainable or not is not the question, the question is, did he deliver on his 2months promise? If not, then he is incompetent) no one forced him to make such promises in the 1st place. PMB was elected to be the president because of GEJ's incompetence. And if PMB can not do what he promised us in the 1st place, then why did we vote GEJ out in the 1st place? The only thing we need in dis country to bring PMB back to his senses and promises is a "constructive criticism" so as to avert the flaws of GEJ. 2 Likes 1 Share |
