Dont be clever by half. There is a gulf of difference in hiring mercenaries to fight your war and inviting state employed Israeli trainers to train your troops.

Bro.....I've been reading all comments and waiting for someone to say something brilliant like you did.

GEJ brought in SA Mercenary to fight against boko haram. (they didn't come to train our troops).

The money spent on imported mercenary is far greater than that spent on training indigenous troop.

SA Mercenary were here to do their job and didn't make any impact on the Nigeria Military in terms of skills and technicality of fighting terrorism.

Nigerians don't read to comprehend.....we only read so that we might dish out our shallow minded opinions.

The training here is to our advantage. The 450 trained Nigerian Air force men can as well train other members of the force who were not privileged to be selected for the training.

I'm not a supporter of anyone but its just too disheartening when people only speak to condemn and castigate without evaluating situations at hand.

You're right. That is exactly what President Roosevelt said about the CIA in Vietnam and much later the CIA in Nicaragua. It always starts with 'train' ing. But when the locomotive passes the carriages follow. Buy Nigeria mbok.

The same clowns, that criticized Gej for hirining south African mercenaries are the ones licking the ass of the isreali and paying them with our scare forex, to fight boko haram.

Just to be objective. There is a little difference.

Hiring a teacher to teach a subject that you are struggling with or what you don't know at all is not the same as hiring a " mercenary" to sit for the actual exam.

Every country does both for different reasons.

You people are daft Sha.

This is what people asked GEJ to do. Train Nigerian troops to have the capability to fight BH. The included bringing in assistance from foreign nations in terms of training and logistics support.

But instead the man engaged mercenaries to fight Boko Haram directly. An entirely unsustainable venture.

If you think engaging foreign specialists as trainers is the same as directly paying private military contractors huge sums to fight our wars, you're desperately in need of remedial education.
What are we still inviting the Israelis for after technically defeating boko boys and degrading them to the point of lacking capacity to lunch any formidable attack and holding territories. Confused people with a confused government living in a confused country.

Mercenaries are not the same as the Israeli. Mercenaries are paid fighters ,nothing but to fight and collect their pay. But the Israeli must have passed through official protocol and even have a direct involvement of the Israeli government.

Really? Kindly explain the difference. Wouldn't they still be paid. Isn't it still a pointer that our military is terribly inept? Why do we have the NDA then? If it was the Israeli defense force, mossad, SAS or any nation's intelligence and special operations forces that was training us, it would have been better. Jonathan was even better because he was using it to wage an offensive. Even the US used PMCs in iraq & afghanistan. They could prove useful in certain black ops & gray area situations because they are not as bound to certain rules of engagement as military personnel. Please when have you heard any sensible country employing mercenaries to train her military? To add insult to injury, they are being trained in security of bases. A whole branch of armed forces cannot provide adequate security for its own bases? We are blind to shame in Nigeria.

There is a difference between mercenaries and civilian contractors. What you do not know is that a lot of US forces especially special forces are trained by civilian contractors. So receiving training from civilian contractors is definitely normal and in fact, it is a best practice.

GEJ brought in mercenaries and perhaps some civilian contractors to wage a short term battle against boko haram in order to score political points. Along with the rest of his team, he fantastically mismanaged Nigeria's defence budget for years, and wasted money hiring mercenaries to fight when proper allocation of resources at the right time would have prevented the beast from growing so terrible.

So in one case we have an expensive, short term solution implemented to save someone's political career a d on the other hand we have a long term effort to transfer skills to our own boys at presumably much less cost.

And when you say GEJ was using mercs to wage an offensive you are completely wrong. The US would never deploy foreign contractors on US soil. To do so is to expose your own citizens to rights abuses as well as being a huge political.embarrasment.
