[s]Loosing lives in the battle field calls for sober reflection on the part of compatriots. The habit of dancing on the graves of our fallen heroes for political gains should stop.

The STTEP Chairman claims the service of his company was discontinued by PMB regime probably on inception. So one would wish to know the channel through which they tried to pass the said Intel. Most importantly, how where they able to gather such intel when their contract had already been terminated. Where they contracted by another party in the same theater of conflict?

According to quora on whether mercenaries are bad people? -
"You've had a drink with them as well. Never trust a mercenary. Good people or bad people are irrelevant. Mercenaries are in business."[/s]

Some people just get up to occupy space and write trash.

What will your believing (or not) do in this case, Ade? Go to YouTube and search.

Watching some videos on youtube doesn't make the said videos right. Critical analysis is needed my man.

In short simple terms, buhari needs to rehire your company to help us fight boko haram?
And the best time to reiterate this point is when Nigeria just lost some of our gallant fighters?.

I hope Us army also called him for a contract hire when they lost 4,424 men in Iraq and 2,372 in Afghanistan .

Our gallant men of the Nigerian Army had held our territory safe this past few years without the capture of any territory, with their sweat and blood. They get ambushed and killed due to lack of supplies for their hardwares rather than find a way to support them and boost their morales.. We are thrashing them by supporting this jobbers

Its very clear that boko haram has turned into a billion dollars industry with many benefactors(like the arms dealers, meceneries, defense contractors and corrupt government officials) and Nigerians the sole lossers (same losers still politicising it out of sheer ignorance).

One thing is certain about northeast, they have the violence ideology, and no amount of war can change it. They were the same matersina sect of the 80s, they had another one in the 90s and now 2012 till date, this are different Generation with same ideology.

Should we continue paying meceneries for a recurrent problem, since Goodluck paid in dollars few days to 2014 election, Buhari should also pay some days to 2019 elections. When are we going to end such cycle. Who even know if the beneficiary of the war are the ones arming boko haram

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.

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:
perhaps GEJ best decision as Commander in chief was to engage those South African mercenaries. with their experience, they got the job done, there's no need to stick to pride when your troops are dying on the fronts. Ask anybody today, in the war against Boko Haram, the 72nd Mobile strike force are the most used and most effective. This is a unit trained and armed by Eben Barlow's mercenary units. the routed Boko Haram within weeks to the election, making elections possible in the North East.

The mercenary were the one that introduced the Reva Mraps into the Nigerian army armoury, go to the north east and ask of Reva Mraps!

I believe president buhari believed terminating their contract was best for the country. But sometimes good intentions turn out badly.

Those guys have the tools and the intelligence, the have men getting black Intel on ground, all we have to do is fight this war the smart way.

Outsourcing will mean we let the mercs fight while more Nigerian soldiers get to go home alive and see their wife and kids. That way we spend much less on deployment, and pay mercenaries to do the dirty work. it's a win win for the mercenaries and buhari's administration.

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!

Jombom:
Where is your prove to this claim ? Are you Igbo ?

what does him being Igbo have to do with anything?
