Some people here are not so exposed about drones.drones are un-manned ariel vehicles and can range from the size of an okada to a danfo bus,they are being operated by highly experienced military engineers through computers and dont act by their own discretion.
Drone strikes wud be the best option against boko because these guys usually hold meetings like cultist in locations and drones are expected to do the dirty job of leveling the location to the ground.well from my knowledge of drone operations,drone operators dont fire in public except in racial grudges and so on.and lastly not all drones are meant to be lethal with bombs and missiles,some are used for survelliance to aid tracking down terrorist bases e.g Osama.

The chicken is finally coming home to roost. Boko Haram are not spirit they are human being. By the time drone land in the north people will come out and shout who the Boko harams are. Boko Haram should know that they do not have the custody of violence. If drone will stop this madness I am in total support.

The Embassy however wishes to appeal that whatever action that is eventually taken against these individuals, t[size=14pt]heir immediate neighbours who have felt most the impact, but are very much vehemently opposed to the activities of Boko Hararn, should not be affected.[/size]

“The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the United States Department of State, the assurances of its highest consideration.”

^^^^^ The bolded part above shows the Nigerian government indirectly telling the Americans that they don't want drone attacks in their country.. Read between the lines!!

I applaud the Nigerian embassy for this bold step.

"Members of Boko Harams have fled South bound to East of Nigeria, specifically Anambra where oil has recently been discovered. That is where we will track them down. No terrorist should be allowed to see the light of day"

I'd rather live with US taking charge than fooling masef that goodluck is in charge. Even though we know US will take d matter beyond Bokoharam to stay further n steal crude oil after BokoHaram might have been dealt with, personally I don't have anything against it.our useless leaders don't kuku allow us benefit from d oil money. So let US come and ride all of us. If US will guarantee ma security so be it. If US will aid our separation so be it. Ayam tired of these cows in d north...all of dem. Animals . Attack IBB attack danjuma attack all dese ur leaders na innocent church goers dem go dy bomb...foools.

What's new.Gangster wannabe Jonathan was never good enough o run a "beer palour" talkless of a country.As long as Nigeria continues to elect semi educated ,incompetent buffoons like Jonathan ,Nigeria will always be sh!thole.

If the USA agrees to use drone attacks ,please direct them to ASO Rock and the National assembly.That is where the real boko harams are.
Re: FG Writes US Over Possible Drone Strikes On Nigerian Soil by Onyocha: 11:21am On Jun 23, 2012
[b]the united states only carry out drone attacks when they intend to punish the people or government of any particular country.drones are unmanned.that means many civilians would be killed and even the intended targets could be missed.and those targets could all the same be missed since boko haram have no stationed base known in Nigeria.in yemen,afghanistan and pakistan,many civilians die.and in my view this is an ineffective way of fighting terrorists with unmanned planes.may be this way is cost effective for the US government.

my own worry is if the united states kills nigerian civilians anywhere in Nigeria,then the united states and boko haram both would be regarded as enemies and terrorists.you do not use careless methods to fight terrorists you do not easily see if at all and in the process kill innocent civilians who are also victims of boko haram.the US would then come out to "apologize" or "regret" the loss of civilian lives.nonsense!

if the united states kills civilians in Nigeria,anywhere in Nigeria,they should be ready to face the wrath of Nigerians.we could see street action against american interests in Nigeria and their diplomatic offices by the people of nigeria.

you do not come into another country poking your big nose into our affairs in the name of helping us by using drones to kill us.boko haram so far is a threat to nigeria and nigerians and not to america.whatever happens within nigeria,is for the government here to solve.Nigeria is not yet afghanistan or somalia.if the US tries that and kills civilians,then they intend to escalate the situation.and if that happens,they should be ready to face the consequences from the people of Nigeria.i am sure our government would do nothing more than verbal protest and may be expelling the american ambassador for two weeks.and i doubt they would expel him if there is such american attack violating nigerian sovereignty and killing civilians.but i foresee the nigerian people burning in anger and confronting the US.[/b]

I dont know where in the letter the talk for drone came up, instead it was pleading with the US govt not to extend the sancation on the extend family or relatives of the listed terrorist. Why dont we get the subject matter of the letter before making poo? I sorry for this country if we continue this way.

Kay-Dee:
Drone strikes? totally unnecessary if you ask me, and maybe ineffective because the death toll from collateral damage will far outweigh the success that will be achieved (if any) besides I doubt the US will want to get involved at that level as Boko hasn't been a direct threat to them.

what could be more collateral than bombing a minimum of 3 churches every week and snuffing out innocent ppls lives like candle flames.

If the neighbours to the BH are not ready to provide intelligence to the security agents because they are relatives, uncles, brothers, inlaws etc then they should be prepared to die with them when the drone strikes....my view

I can assure yot that not all nigerians will protest if the drones kill innocents. Especially victims from the north... The situation of things now is that bad
Re: FG Writes US Over Possible Drone Strikes On Nigerian Soil by kjhova(m): 11:39am On Jun 23, 2012
When the drones strike, they usually gather collateral damage. They'd hit backyards, churches, mosque's, markets etc. You'd end up having muslim mothers, fathers or brothers so bitter & filled wt vengeance that BH wouldn't even need to canvass for recruits anymore. Then our village fight turns into a global battle attracting all the other hideous organizations of death like Al Qaeeda, Al Shabab, Hezbollah et al with the capabilities to bomb Lagos, Onitsha & even Otuoke!
Then a new president comes to office in America with the realization that no nation has ever won a war from the air in the history of the world. He'll withdraw US forces & leave us all at the mercy of BH.

Has anybody wonder why the United States and its allies (NATO) has not send the drones to Syria to remove Bashir Al-Hassad with his monumental and wanton killings of innocent women and children just they rushed to Libya to remove Gadaffi even though he has not killed has much as Bashir has done? Can anybody actually tell me why? My take on this is that somebody somewhere has lost an idea on the way forward ...

if that happens, the south would have their own "BH"...bottomline, Nigeria divides before 2015, who wins? USA
OR maybe, then, the north discovers huge oil deposits in the chad basin, refine it but cant transport it (no coastline). Suddenly we find ourselves where the sudanese are right now...

alameenLM: Its obvious that we are still slaves(to our colonist) in this country.some of us are shouting "So be it" to drone attacks.there has been no country that the US claimed to cleanse except that innocent people were massacred in mass.Lets think critically that had it been Germany,China,Japan or Russia that boko haram existed will the US even dare interfere.and what the hell is a terrorist list?.why didn't england & france have their own list? Is the US the only one that has humans in it.those US bastards are destroying weak countries when people are suffering in their own country & some think they stand for world peace.lets be wise,think properly & save ourselves from slavery.#freeNIGERIA

FXKing2012: I've always said the end is in sight for BH ever since the curse placed on the group by Bishop Oyedepo. I've also always said it may not be immediate but will definitely happen, and now we are seeing it coming to pass. And this is a lesson to all of u in the habit of abusing and insulting MOG, better steer clear of such acts to avoid curses.
