For Those Who Have Ears to Hear


By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor


I won’t write about Nigeria as a journalist. I am known in Nigeria as a national security specialist with decades of experience there.

I have close personal friends at the highest levels of government and only write these few words out of deep concern.

For those reading the news about Africa, both of you, Nigeria is under terrorist attack and preparing military operations against a group called Boko Haram, an Islamic group from the North, more accurately centered in Niger, a nation to the north, a cesspool of international intrigue.

From Veterans Today’s London correspondent, a specialist on African affairs:


Jonathan Goodluck
The article was well written and thoroughly researched although it didn’t go far enough in identifying dealing with the greed of certain establishment figures that may directly or indirectly be involved in some of the atrocities committed by Boko Haram.

1. The security of the presidency and the entire nation has been greatly compromised by the activities of certain individuals very close to the presidency.

2. It is common knowledge that the president of Nigeria is not protected at all and you can get at him at any time in or out of his residence.

3. The security around him is a joke to say the least, contrary to the views of certain individuals around the president.

4. The issues of government by settlement which had long plagued Nigeria are the orders of the day now where certain individuals are asking for colossal sums of money from certain security consultants to provide training and security equipment to the government.

5. One individual in particular has been known to collect huge sums of money from these outfits currently parading themselves as security consultants in Abuja

6. The level of cover and protection given the president and his family is simply laughable and nonexistent

Why has the country been compromised

It is widely known that certain foreign elements are providing security to the president and providing his current security details.

What a joke, you might say. These same foreign elements are the same who have sold outdated equipment to the government and are going around Abuja installing CCTV and bomb detection equipment around the capitol, technology decades old.

Huge sums of money have changed hands for second rate equipment

The government pays for a Rolls Royce car but gets a VW Beetle instead!!

Why is there so much fear and apprehension among Nigerians that the government can no longer protect its citizens?
