kokoA: That one na glorified police What we need is a high teck, digital savvy and 21st century unit. They don't need to have so many boots on the ground. When they need boots they can use police and army. The unit we need should be analysing data, tracking people's movements and who they are talking to or visiting, let them go buy drones from US used by state law enforcement agents for surveilliance is possible. That is the kind of unit we need. Not another glorified police department that depends on rumour and toture for intelligence gathering! |

GEJ is too political, why can't he declare all round in the state, why selecting? Is he protecting the interest of his party at the interest of the people? During Obj's regime, the security challenge is not this worse before he declare state of emergency in the whole state, likewise in Ekiti. Let him do the right thing before the state become empty. |

mikeansy: smh - the same azazi that was misfiring and lying to nigerians? the man has had his chance to prove his worth. a whole year. i do not expect anything from him. in addition to quot and national character security affairs are not for cronies it seems that counter terrorism has been in the offing before now. . . http://allafrica.com/stories/201111090265.html
http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/front-page-news/28576-un-to-initiate-counter-terrorism-force-in-nigeria-jonathan UN to initiate counter-terrorism force in Nigeria -Jonathan these are month old articles. if gej is coming out to tell us what he has already told us before. . . then we are in for still more of the same. Beaf: abegi, we have had a whole year in which gej has been pontificating about effects of a SOE on economy etal. what is worth doing is worth doing well. shut down the whole state, the whole NW if need be. it will also send out a message to the BH sponsors that the gloves are finally off, if they actually are. |

mikeansy:yes, the entire northern border from borno to sokoto should be cordorned off by soldiers of 1 Div. it should be the entire state and other like bauchi should be on that list |

Oyb Your claim about Azazi lying has been previously challeneged and deflated on another thread. You did not come back to defend your argument now you are making the same claims again. I really have no time for trivialities right now |

It would have been strategically dumb to impose a state-of-emergency in these states instead of in few LGAs identified as the nuclei. This is a war on terrorism and requires tactical countermeasures. By gaining a foothold in few critical LGAs, you have technically perturbed the states and this is necessary for direct information logging with a concurrent front end assault. If managed efficiently, the surrounding LGAs will either become allies or risk losing their democracy. With this, we can get real time information on mode of operation, movements, sponsors and sympathizers. More importantly, the boots on the ground can provide rapid response. It looks like GEJ have started reasoning critically. My thought was that with the way things were going, he would have been clobbered into blanketing these states with S-O-E which would have been a very bad idea. Maybe the foreign advisors are helping matters. |

Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by auwal87(m): 6:41pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
The BH will surely laugh at this. What if all their operations are from Kano or Jigawa or Katsina or even Lagos? It is like telling them to expand to other states, now all the security will be concentrated in those states, and Gbam you can here one bomb tomorrow at Sabon gari Kano. unwise for the current situation. Intelligence is what is needed, common these guys are fighting from hidden places nobody even know where their hideouts or camps are located. They can move all around the country at will, maybe with even police protection. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by kokoA(m): 6:44pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
mikeansy: Then they need more than just members of the armed forces. Vibrant and highly intelligent youths should be recruited into this unit for proper data analysis. |

@auwal87 And your suggestion is for Jonathan sit down behind a laptop and type like you do all day ? |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Beaf: 6:45pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
auwal87: Maybe you are missing the most crucial info the emergency conveys. It is that if boko haram is dreaming of a war, large parts of their territory has now been captured even before the firing of the first shot; even more, it ensures that their territory will be the theatre of any sponsored war the wish to fight, regardless if their sponsors are powerful Middle Eastern coutries. GEJ's move is a blindingly strategic masterstroke on several fronts. |

auwal87: How can the two bolded statements co-exist The notion that nobody knows Boko Haram hideouts is a pure lie! May be the Government does not know but dont claim that nobody knows! |

Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Beaf: 6:49pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
The borders have been closed in Yobe and Borno. Looking at the Nigerian map, I would hope that GEJ also has his eyes on Adamawa state (I do not see boko haram gaining even the slightest toehold in Jigawa, not with the highly rated Sule Lamido in power). |

Beaf: abeg stop the lapdog sycophancy. that is what led us to this impasse. thoughout the year you have been celebrating gejs 'methodical, calm , seasoned approach' . all the time when he made excuses for not declaring a state of emergency, you cheered. carrot and stick, you cheered, empty threat, you cheered. why don't you just keep quiet and cheer AFTER we see some results? |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nobody: 6:53pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Beaf: abeg who is on ground to actually confirm that the borders have been closed? btw, how do you 'close' a border when you don't have a perimeter fence? the only way you can keep people in or out is with a security fence. border means nothing. who says i need to cross the road. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by auwal87(m): 6:53pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Beaf: Which state of emergency worked for Iraq or Afghanistan to fight al qaeda? Man in few days you will understand that it is bad idea, bad decision, it will only spoil matters more. these guys are not in caves located in the states that were declared emergency. They are within the community, and the community isn't aware, they will disappear any minute, they might be on their way to another state right now. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Beaf: 6:55pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
auwal87: The quote below should answer your question. Its author, Douglas Farah is a scholar and intellectual writer. You will find his writing to be quite informative, find time to check out his website: As I have noted earlier,[size=14pt] in 2003 Osama bin Laden specifically mentioned Nigeria as a target for the spread of al Qaeda[/size], and shortly thereafter there were a series of smaller scale attacks. But the actions of the "Nigeria Taliban" were widely dismissed as simply jihadist "wannabes" that posed no threat. http://www.douglasfarah.com/article/490/nigeria-and-al-qaeda |

Emergency may not defeat Boko Haram but the message is clear. The affected LGAs should either co-operate with security agencies or they will continue to have militarised zones with occupying forces and a loss of their freedom. It is that simple. members of Boko Haram are human beings. People know who they are. The next thing I think is to ensure that this emergency affects Shekau and Qaqa's village. Let us see how they can impose Sharia in the country when their own village has been taken over by the Army. If they do not surrender place their whole family under house arrest and restrict their movements. |

Good job, Mr. President However, SOE in those places alone may not solve it. The murderers are already spread in all nook and cranny of the North. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by EvilBrain1(m): 6:57pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
The reason GEj isn't declaring a state of emergency in entire states is because he doesn't want to sack the governors. Apparently, the political fallout would be too much for him to handle. |

Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nobody: 7:00pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
auwal87: That's simplistic! If you don't know, for every discerning mind the pressure is now more on the affected state governors to act else there is still a chance of state wide declaration of emergency if situation deteriorates. Of course, governor in other potential Boko haram states will also be at alert as well. May be they ll volunteer information that will unmask the sponsor as a strategy to survive politically, time ll tell. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nchara: 7:01pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
GEJ should make sure sympathetic soldiers are not deployed to those areas. Those areas must be leveled liked Odi and Zaki Biam. Yes, I said so. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by trimwis: 7:01pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
this is not enough we want state of emergency on ADAMU CIROMA, ATIKU, BUHARI AND IBB with all the other northern politician backing Boko Haram |
