Boko Haram: Nigerian Govt Never Lost Control In Engaging Terrorists, US Agency Counters ISSA

By Tribune Online Last updated Dec 31, 2018


The Universal Watch Network has countered a recent report by the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA) that the federal government of Nigeria has lost the control in engaging the Boko Haram terrorists.

It said the claim by ISSA that the government is no longer sure of what faction of the terrorist group it is fighting was a fallacy and mischievous.



The United State-based agency claimed the propaganda first surfaced as a report by Washington-based group, International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA) here in the United States, which has now been repeated by many indigenous media organizations in Nigeria as intended by the originators of the report.



Dr Roberts Gordon, Vice President, Political Affairs in an electronic release on Monday, observed that a deeper look at the document, however, revealed it to be a treatise that is filled with rehashed information, innuendos, half-truths and outright lies.


According to Gordon, “The report pushed the lie that the Nigerian government has lost the control in engaging Boko Haram while the country’s intelligence community is no longer sure of what faction of the terrorist group it is fighting. Nothing can be further from the truth since Boko Haram has not been able to achieve what its foreign sponsors had intended for it to achieve in Nigeria.

“Nigeria is no stranger to doomsday reports like the one issued by ISSA. The United States National Intelligence Council once issued a report that Nigeria will not exist beyond 2015 as it would disintegrate into smaller enclave states along ethno-geographic fault lines.



“Even when much was done to destabilize Nigeria to achieve this evil objective, the political maturity that produced the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in the same year and the patriotic disposition of his administration with a committed Nigerian Armed Forces frustrated the projection of Nigeria’s demise.

“It is most unfortunate and condemnable that the authors of this most recent report sat in meeting rooms of some plush hotels, far away from Nigeria, to insinuate that instances of random crimes that led to the deaths of highly placed Nigerians were masterminded by the state or its agencies.


“We know for a certainty that neither ISSA nor its allies could have gotten away with such criminal claims here in their own country of origin.
The conjectures presented as definite facts by ISSA could have been ignored as the product of ignorance steeped in imperial arrogance but the political connections they brought into their propaganda has exposed this organization as being propelled by an inordinate goal to achieve regime change.

“This is a reality that was corroborated by the similarity in the language style adopted in the report and the one in use by the main opposition in Nigeria in addition to parroting the position of opposition elements. Attempts at regime change that jeopardizes the safety of citizens is totally unacceptable and have no place in this age after the fiasco resulting from many such enterprise in other countries.

“We challenge ISSA to publish an objective report that acknowledges the role being played by western powers in arming, training and funding Boko Haram and its variants in Nigeria. We further task the group to fair disclosure on the nature of its relationship with the main opposition in Nigeria while also revealing the source of its funding. A failure to do these would confirm our assertion that ISSA is a terrorists supporting group hiding behind the garb of respectability and international label.



“In the meantime, we are alerting Nigerians to beware of ‘Terrorists Politically- aided Propaganda (TP2) like the ISSA report, which is calculated to do damage to the country. We envisage that more of such reports will be released in the coming days and they bound to become tools in the hands of politicians that will cite such report to vote against a government that has laid the foundation to giving Nigeria back to Nigerians as is the norm in other democracies.

“We urge the Federal Government of Nigeria to explore diplomatic means of calling ISSA to order since that organization’s activities directly threaten the well being and security of Nigerians. The government must treat the report as a threat to the country and must not treat it with

Fraudulent & terrorist government.

Nigerian govt and self denial
Why is borno in their hand ?

The Universal Watch Network has countered a recent report

First of all, that organization sounds more like Mustapha El Sudani Computer lesson centre in Mami market Kano.

I researched for that organization online, I found out it does not exist. APC in Aso Rock keeps on manufacturing fake organization and news to defend their ineffectual Buffon-in-Chief buhari.

Apc agency based in USA paying dollars to one miscreant to shore up their image

Wasn't this what we were saying the other day? That report to me was complete bullocks and replete with suppositions and outright guesses and assumptions without an iota of proof.

Not even one of the people were interviewed yet they went ahead to publish the nonsense.

Passingshot, see what we were talking about yesterday?

This group is no doubt made up of APC/PMB supporters residing in d US wit sum few paid white men. I cnt imagine hw much APC is paying this group.

The "Universal Watch Network" does not exist. Or should I say, exists in soft copy of the Nigerian government computers. There is nothing on the internet to allude to their prior existence, EXCEPT with this very publication they made. There is no scholarship or journal or publication affiliated to them, for a public group.

There is no such person as " Dr. Roberts Gordon" at Universal Watch Network. This is because they are illusions created by the Nigerian government to defray criticisms. There is nothing on the internet about him, nor has he been cited. No publication whatsoever.

On the other hand, ISSA has existed for over three decades, with verifiable offices and verifiable personnels. The internet is riddled with their existence, prior worldwide publications, connections and verifiable staff.

This is just another case of a certain "Karen Goulding", a supposed UK counter terrorism expert that has no evidence of existence before 2015. No publication. No citation. No interview. No presence on the internet. But she is a UK counter terrorism expert. Hahahaha.

This is just another false flag from the Nigerian military. Disregard the pathetic filths.

Stop believing nonsense in the name of politics. Bornu is under the effective control of Nigeria security apparatus. ISSA or Iswap or whatever simply fabricated a politically motivated gibberish on behalf of their sponsors. Nigerians are in Bornu state as we speak and they all celebrated Xmas and new year peacefully. Boko haram’s Insurgency is against Nigeria and not Buhari. When we support false narrative against our own government and military, we end up boosting the morale of the terrorists.

You should give it up to APC. Their lies and propaganda machines are well oiled. They deployed it prior 2015 and blew fickle hearts away but Nigerians are wiser now after buhari has unleashed hunger and bloodletting on them.

Another bullet into the hearts of PigDiots and their collaborating Fake News propagandists - too bad, let them wail some more.

You supporters of Boko haram should be the once to shut up. Baga was attacked by terrorist and our military gallantly repelled the attack. The evil desire of some of you to get baga back under the control of terrorist simply for political reason is condemnable. Our military shall overcome evil forces like you.
