There are two sides to every story. Some would say three, even. Extremism doesn't arise out of a vacuum. It's not as if the North isn't neglected. It's not as if it's not one of the poorest and least educated regions in the whole wide world. Whose fault is that? The Naai-gerian nation brought Boko Haram upon itself because it lacks foresight.

Henry120:

All those problems are as the result of the south in what way exactly? In the 53 years of nigeria's existence, the north has been in power in 35 of those years.

Mike..ZA:
Now are you gonna agree with me when I say Nigerian armed forces lack experience. Cause SAPS special task force(anti terrorist unti),has been kicking ass way before 2008.

Henry120:

Up until 2 weeks ago, there has not been a single incident of terrorists related activities in months.

CraigB:

North + South = Naai-geria.

Naai-geeria is the cause of its own problems in this regard. Boko Haram did not arrive from outer space. It came out of Naai-geria because of Naai-geria.

Henry120:

I want you to tell me how the federal government neglected the north in favour of the south?

Yes, it is a nigerian problem, and nigerians would have to figure out a solution to the problem.

Henry120:

Your SAPS are not good enough. Terrorism would consume them. Indonesia has an economy 4.5 times larger than RSA and a military 20 times better, yet they had to seek help from the americans to deal with the problem. If nigeria cannot defeat terrorism, then no nation in africa can.

Henry120:

You really are a fool1sh pig, not smart either. We have tried multiple approaches including negotiations, carrot and stick and what ever term people have for negotiations these days.

The only language boko-haram understands is brute force. The reason we haven't wound up this group is because of a lack of state of the art resources in the requisite needed numbers.

CraigB:

Oh, your military is inadequate? Thanks for the admission. We've been saying.

On to your other point - you haven't tried everything. Boko Haram happened because you failed in the foundations of nation-building. That's what you haven't tried. Sooner or later, you'll have to get back to basics.

We both agree that your military's inadequate. Therefore, get wise and grow some intelligence.

I told them when I joined these tread that their intelligence personnel lack training they never admitted ,I'm surprised that now they are admitting it now

chris365:

your comment reeks of ignorance and careless ranting. i wish your brain was brighter than your skin

islamic fundamentalism/extremism has been in the north before the civil war. it didn't just start yesterday.

Nigeria has the highest Muslim population in Africa focused in the North which leaves every possibility of extremist influence on gullible muslims as it is all over the world.

if your reasons are why there's boko haram, then why are there terrorist activities in US, France, and other developing countries? why would british and american citizens leave their comfort and join terrorists living in Afghanistan mountains, Yemen and somalia?

surely you should have an answer to these question other than your senseless rants.

CraigB:


If it was ranting, you would have ignored it.

I know better.

Can you see how I will ignore the rest of your post? Now that's how you deal with a rant.

chris365:

exactly what i expected. to complicated for your weak brain. i bet you would have written a whole page if i had made a grammatical blunder.
you're a complete nincompoop

i think it proper to expose your ignorance and fool1shness to those who follow this thread whenever you try to feel smart (which you've continue to fail).

trust me, if you had the sense to know what it means to ignore someone, you wouldn't have responded to the post in the first place.

like i said you don't know what it means to ignore a post. now watch as i show you how to press on to the ignore button.

and about a reasonable response to my question..........

Henry120:

Yes, the military is inadequate to deal with terrorism holistically[b]. Same with south-africa been unable to effectively deal with poaching.[/b] You should learn to your that pint-sized brian of yours.

We have never said nigeria was the top dog of the continent. We have shortfalls, and we have admitted that multiple times. What we have constantly hammered on is the fact that we would defeat south africa in an all out conflict. Africa's biggest militaries are those of egypt and algeria.

CraigB:

The anti-poaching operation is overseen by the Department of Environmental Affairs. It's not the same, I'm afraid.

Henry120:

you had to employ the services of former navy seals to help you out with your poaching problem. That doesn't say to me that you have a hold on the situation.

Listen, terrorists are members of the populace. He can pass a military check-point 100 times and not a single officer would know what his sinister motives are. He only needs to pick his AK-47 and like I had earlier said, throw the nation in mourning. It's like fighting ghosts.

Henry120:

I'm only going to give you this attention once you twerp. The personnel of nigerian intelligence services are well trained, better trained than her south african counter-parts. The nigerian DSS is the best intelligence agency in africa. However training alone cannot win you a war, you need to have money, experience, equipment and expertise, all of these in there requisite numbers.

Look at the attack on the naval yard in washington D.C this past few days, would you say it's a lack of training that led to the avoidable loss of life?

Training again is holistic. There is not a single version of training. Admitting that there are shortfalls isn't a sign of weakness. It shows that you are aware of your areas of strength and are prepared to grow your area of shortfalls, and not live in a delusional state like you south africans.

CraigB:
The moment you put on an "intelligence cap", you'll get all the answers you need. if i can ever give it

CraigB:
And given that you don't have the equipment that you need, what makes you believe you'll have what you need in an all-out war?

No chief your intelligence is already compromised, t[b]he insugents intelligence has an upper hands over your army[/b]. It is only a fool who would ever rate such an intelligent system to be the best in Africa.
