[size=13pt]‘Nigerians should expect more bombings’[/size]

Nigerians should expect more bombings in the months ahead, sources in the nation’s security services have said.


Top security officials who spoke to our correspondents on Sunday said the security agencies were not capable of stemming the tide of terrorism in the country.


A source said sensitive positions in the country’s security establishment were occupied by agents who were not properly recruited, were poorly trained and lacked the competencies needed to gather actionable intelligence.


“We are not making any attempt to stop bombings in the country. We simply lack what it takes to do so,” a senior official in one of the security services told one of our correspondents in Abuja on Sunday.


The shocking revelation came on the heels of the death of at least 18 people in last Friday’s bombing of the United Nations office in Abuja. The fundamentalist Islamic sect, Boko Haram, has claimed responsibility for the bombing which has attracted condemnation globally.


The source, who pleaded anonymity, said, “One would have thought that by now, the security agencies would have been able to find a lasting solution to the bombings.


“Then, we would expect that security agencies would also have been able to infiltrate the ranks of those responsible for the attacks.


“But I can tell you that there is nothing like that here. We are practically not doing anything either to stop the bombings or to even infiltrate the ranks of the bombers.


“The thinking in the security circle is that the bombing is a phase that would soon fade away. What we are doing now is what we call ‘fire brigade approach’.


“When bomb explodes somewhere, we go there with guns, metal detectors and other minor equipment. But after that, what else do you see? We leave after a few days and the old order continues.”


Another source in the security establishment said the government appeared not to be interested in making the agencies in charge of the nation effective. The source, who also requested anonymity, said government was only “interested in playing politics with everything.”


The source added, “When last did our people go for training? Even the so-called Anti-Terrorism Squad in the Police, where were they trained? Majority of them were drawn from the riot police without being given further training.


“It will be interesting to note that most security agencies rely on newspaper reports to get information. It is like we are being trained by investigative journalists now.”


The source and others bemoaned the fact that the government often sacrificed experience and competence for other considerations while making appointments into key positions in the security sector. They added that this situation had turned otherwise brilliant agents into frustrated personnel.


According to the sources, ethnicity, religion, political affiliations, personal relationships and other irrelevant factors are considered before merit.


One of the sources cited the appointment of one of the security chiefs as an example. He said when it was time to find a replacement for the former head of one of the security agencies, one of his deputies who had been prepared to succeed him “was dropped at the last minute because he was suspected in some quarters to be sympathetic to an opposition party.”


The US in a recent security appraisal report titled, “Country Reports on Terrorism 2010,” an annual congressional report that provides trends and events on global terrorism, states that Nigeria lacks the security apparatus and capacity to combat terrorism.

Most of these fellows are boko haram members. Who wants to train boko haram?
The best thing is handing over to the FBI, let our suyaing and peppersouping security people go and sit down.

This is not reliable news. Op should know better that we need facts.
names of the sponsors,
their main plot ( to secede?)
the names and location of the terrorist cells in the north
the security agents, home and abroad they are working with
their terrorist affiliations
their financial engagements
their arms and equipment transportation and inventory
possible acquaintances and friends
not sentimental talk! 

Considering the high level of insecurity of lives and properties across the country, am not sure this geographical expression known Nigeria would survive for another ten years.

we will survive it. the situation at hand is just for a moment.

To all persons hoping for a foreign intervention to deal with the North, when MEND attacks would you also like the foreign security service to deal with South?

The moment you express a desire for a foreign element to deal with any other region of Nigeria, then you have submitted to the push by many of us cakling for the dissolution of Nigeria.

Welcome to our fold!

Oh my.

What does Ore oni faaji, igba tun ni ele yin? Oyo eke die nibi means please.

Ore oni faaji = my fun seeking/ "go-happy" friend

Igba tun ni ele yin ? = meaningless grammatical construction

Oyo eke die nibi = another meaningless grammatical construction. Though sounds like " o ya eke die n'ibi" = u r a bit "nosey" here

If u can get d correct writing, I may b able to help better.

This is very serious if the report is true.
So with all the huge budget for security, the security agents cannot do anything to stop these kind of atrocities.

While other countries are using counter-terrorism measures, ours in nigeria are not prepared to do anything.

Shame on the President and the National Assembly.

So there is no hope for this country I am leaving this country before they bomb my village

Wahala dey o.

only god will save we country naija

If the security agents are incompetent as to come out and tell us they cannot do their job, then they should all resign and go home.
