iammo: Nigerian leaders dont learn from past mistakes or anywhere because their sense of reasoning is around how they will milk the country dry and set up shop abroad or even ship trilllions of dollars abroad. They are always selfish. The current spate of violence in and around our borders are an amalgam of three things: political expediency of the principal actors and politicians who financed not only Boko Haram but other local groups like Yandaba (Kano), YanKalare (Bauchi) Kato da Gora (Kaduna), Yan Shara (Kaduna) and others alike: the complicity of Nigerian leadership in the death of these slain heroes and the international conspiracy to dismember the country by the world powers led by USA,France and their EU/NATO counterparts. 1.) Boko Haram would have been history if their leader Mohammadu Yusuf was alive. Instead someone high up ordered his official murder only for the military who caught him alive and handed him over showed evidence with a photo to that effect. The responsibility of his death has not been borne by anyone but fingers point of the then chief executive of that state Modu Sheriff and the Inspector General at that time in order to cover the atrocities the sect has committed in the name of politics. They were used as tools for political oppression,intimidation and murder of political opponents with a guise, using religion as cover. A first hand warning was sounded by Senator Jerry Useni and the Arewa Consultative Forum when they visited the state under the former ceo. He warned his host then that the sect was getting out of hand and that he should move to empower them instead of using them for political gains. He turned a deaf ear and today we have ISWA and other groups. The Iranians are also not left out with Shiites taking over every single state in the North. They dont just do that. The Iranians are financing the Shiites ideology with billions of dollars distributed to the adherents to the cause all over the world. The same model is used by governors in this country to suppress opposition and continually entrench themselves in power. Sadly it backfires and continues to haunt them after they leave the comfort and security of State Government House. 2.) Defence experts have called on the Federal Government sverally to change the leadership of the Nigerian Defence team led by the COAS and CDS in order to give way for new ideas and new strategies, proper evaluation of SWOT and moving the war to the most logical possible conclusion and again giving confidence to the troops and providing them with the best and up to date equipment. BH is winning the war for the simple reason that the Nigerian states' leadership is either playing politics with the life of its citizens or is not open to change in the enumerated above. No matter how you appreciate the issues on ground, the Nigerian intelligence services has taken last in this war and in the 21st Century, we are still fighting a serious war with dane guns. Why wont the country lose troops in large numbers when a BH soldier owns surface to air missile,a tank destroyer and a plethora of other sophisticated weapons against a Nigerian soldier who has only an AK47 and a few grenades? Besides, there has been more mutinies,open mutinies in the army under the Buhari administration than at any other time in the history of Nigeria. Not even during the civil war. The only thing these young men and women who are serving the country want is sophisticated weapons , more motivation and finance and quick payments of their entitlements to the next of kin and beneficiaries not playing politics with their lives and future on television and on social media.The question is why is the Buhari administration ignoring the call for change? 3.) President Barrack Obama was the first who suggested to the US Congress and defence industry and stated categorically that his country and its allies want to break Nigeria by 2015. That was actually practiced in their war games sometimes in 2010 and 2012. That prediction almost came true and that disaster was averted when President Goodluck Jonathan Conceded the elections to President Muhammadu Buhari that year. That particular scenario may play out in 2019 and only a miracle will stop it. Much as we believe in prayers, we should also work for prayers to work by implementing strategies that will be Blessed by Almighty God rather than using religion and ethnicity/tribalism to cover for attrocities. Nigerian leaders have not understood the power our country wields economically, militarily and otherwise on the African continent and among members of the black race. The presence of these American military bases over Africa means our power have waned in Africa. American drone stations in Niger, Ghana, Tchad and Cameroon and French military bases/support to their former colonies suggests that Nigeria is technically under attack and the likes of the Fulani herdsmen defended by the President and Boko Haram are their proxies in this war. Otherwise, what explains the reason why the US will not build a base in Nigeria. The Libyans understood this very well by These countries will not put their soldiers in harms but will do so using these drone stations and spy stations to transmit intended targets to their Headquarters in these respective countries. Lets pray and make our country work. |

iammo:You need to be conversant with history and how its repeating itself. GEJ changed his service chiefs at least twice. This was due to the obvious lack of cooperation among our armed forces, low level of intelligence and low morale of the troops. Coupled with the US refusal to sell arms the botched black market purchase in SA due to insider sabotage. This all made calling in "foreign help" an obvious way to go. Now ask urself why there was no intelligence on the movt of BH towards metele, no aerial support etc coupled with how a battalion was devastated. Also think Trump and his 2020 arms promise, plus the fact that neighbouring countries have gone cold in the war efforts and you'll understand why mercenaries became an option in 2014. My take is buhari came into govt with a bias that anything Jonathan/PDP is evil and must be rejected. Take a look at events all around and tell me if that position is still justified |

Capnd143: Wonderful analysis bro but wht happens when Amnesty international comes knocking with human rights abuse claims?? Mercineries are good for nothing! They will kill nd rape innocent citizens along with the terrorists without second thoughts cuz they r not their citizens. We can barely control our loose nd undisciplined troops. Its better if they were only hired to train nd not engage! |
