IS ON


United States Marines have been deployed to Nigeria to help fight Islamic militants known as Boko Haram, sources have told SaharaReporters

The Special Forces, consisting of 10 units from Fort Carson in Colorado, will move into Nigeria through the borders of Chad and Niger Republic.  Our sources said the US military gave the Special Forces only 48 hours notice to deploy.  That narrow timeline suggests some urgency in the operation.



Two weeks ago, the United States warned of imminent Boko Haram attacks on some luxury hotels in the federal capital, Abuja.  Nigerian security forces have largely been helpless in the onslaught of the militants especially in Borno and Yobe States, but their heads were given National Honours by President Goodluck Jonathan this week.

Intelligence sources in the US believe that  Boko Haram is a group of about 10 smaller groups of militants mostly bolstered by Al Qaeeda connections.

IS ON GUYS

Nice, if its true.

Revolution is here my guy, is on, they are coming, with sophisticated weapons to deal with these malams once and for all,time to taste the real bullets,chemical bullets.

Pakistan with a better security forces cannot handle terrorist without the help of American forces, more less nigerian forces. The advantage the Americans have is the sophistication and advance technology of their military power . We dont have a military drone, they do. With a drone they can watch movement of these terrorists and strike before they do.

hope they only go for boko haram and not the people.

Shocked that people see this as good news, This is where the crisis spirals into an international cesspool that will involve all fighters from the magreb islamiya , Why didn't the US deploy 10 units to tackle Alshabab

I don't think we should be too happy about this.

Thank you, ask them what our own military is there for ?

why should foreigners help when we have military personnels in surplus

Where is the source for this? @Poster. Even the Latest news from Reuters does not include any reference to US troops actually being on ground in Nigeria. How could they miss that? CNN sef miss am?

SMOKE THEM OUT

ak47mann:

SMOKE THEM OUT

I rather see them send a strategist or commander rather than there own military personnel.

This pix is from Saharareporters.
I can now confirm that sahara reporters are fake, Liars and real eddioottss.
There's nothing like deployment from the US and saharareporters is only trying to attract people to their site with this news. lol
I guess there's no more news atrracting people to their site.

My pet peeve happens to be people thinking they can TELL ME WHAT TO BELIEVE . . . .!!! I asked for a source for the news posted, and I still need a source. Where is the LINK . . . make I see for myself.

If sahara reporters uses a picture from US marines to deplete the information they are trying to pass across, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT ?

Of course we all know sahara reporters DID NOT GO TO INTERVIEW THEM IN THE MILITARY BASE or did they. They could only have gotten that picture from US marine website. Haba Henry

How is that my biz? Are you ok? They used colorado because they know an army base is there. cooked up stuppoiid stories to make them relevant. Seriously??
I mean you and sahara should go die kiakia.

CNN?
Did CNN, AP, REUTERS et al, mention any boot on the ground in Libya?
But we all know that special forces were embedded with the opposition thugs,
Or why do u think they were able to take Tripoli the way they did?
That's why their deployment is called COVERT operations!

Almost on to page two and still no source. Ok, oh!!! I will wait as usual to have this confirmed elsewhere then.


@Moderator, are we yanking this thread or what?

If this is true, then expect roadside bombing to become part of BH strategy.

I pity those who still haven't seen . . .

I think we all know how Nigerian newspapers like using web pictures in their articles.

Even the pictures they use for politicians are not updated.

It does not make the story any less true.

All i can say is that now is the time for the real gun smoke,look we all know sooner than later marines will arrive in Nigeria boko harams and alamajiris have been calling them for a long time now look at the result,u don't need Elijah to come from heaven and prophesy these revolution  for you, even a blind man can see it just than in the back of our mind we don't want to accept it look is happening right in our eyes still we don't want to accept it,hmmmmm living in denial have hold black people back for centuries.
Well if you still want you can wave it behind and move on, but you cant ignore it.

And dont expect them to dress in their Army fatigues,
I'm sure they will be wearing Jalamiyas, baban riga, and other traditional dresses to blend in.
If truly Jonathan invited them,
It's truly a national disgrace! 

Anyone who loves freedom and detests religious fundamentalist loonies will surely welcome US forces in Nigeria, HOWEVER, the picture shown with this article is NOT of special forces arriving in Nigeria, but of trainee paratroopers during preparations for a jump, under the supervision of their drill instructor.

If US special forces are in fact being deployed in Nigeria, they will look quite different from the troops in the above picture, and may in fact be dressed as civilians, to maintain that all-important low profile.

of course they will blend in remember anybody can by an american spy,they have any race that can blend in very well with the locals,that is their advantage cos of multicultural society which they are.

But don't ever blame Jonathan cos he meet the problem there,and at it is now, that's his only option.

Violation of the Sovereignty of a State!! Illegal Occupation!!

We need them cos Nigeria is on terror list,is a problem for travelers and Nigerians both the ones outside the country.

That NAME NIGERIA is bleeding

We already figured out the first portion of your post.

Second portion; how would low profile be maintained when Nigerians adore anything White skin (majority of them will be white ofcourse) and "western accent"?

Skii:

Violation of the Sovereignty of a State!! Illegal Occupation!!

Presumably Mr. Skii would rather be blown asunder by virgin-seeking Islamic camel-jockeys, than be protected by Uncle Sam.

Ileke Idi, special forces are chosen to blend in with the local populace, and if that entails using ONLY black US troops, there would be little problem assembling such a force, complemented by native language speaking translators.

Beaf:

Nice, if its true.

Good to see u trying to grow up. U obviously learnt a good lesson from the KGB / FSB thread.

yep,I agree with you on that,we only have people eating salary' and no action.

How does it becomes a national disgrace ?
is it better to allow the BH to continue undermined our national unity ?(if we have one)
what will you say about the killing and bombing by BH .

The Special Forces, consisting of 10 units from Fort Carson in Colorado, will move into Nigeria through the borders of Chad and Niger Republic.  Our sources said the US military gave the Special Forces only 48 hours notice to deploy.  That narrow timeline suggests some urgency in the operation.

it a good step in the right direction considering the helplessness of those target by BH in the northern part of nigeria.

Beaf:

Nice, if its true.

The reason I made this non-commital statement earlier, is that Sahara Reporters is known for telling outright lies. I wouldn't be surprised if there is no shred of truth in the article.
That said, it is only a matter of time before we see direct US involvement in one form or the other.

Okay, but I dont think Nigerians are foolish ppl [the jury is still out on that though]

Nigerians can tell the diff between fresh civilized ppl and well. . . . Nigerians. I doubt the low profiles.
