PointB: The Security Services in the present administration are more professional and thorough; their many successes have saved many lives despite the occasions the terrorists have succeeded in carrying out their dastard acts. Suffice to say, a more professional security services is one of the benefits bequeathed Nigerians by the rise of terrorism in the North.

Kudos to these brave and diligent men and women of the security services; this is another blow against terrorists and their sponsors!

Spot-on. It just had to be Hezbollah. Good job.

grandstar: find your reference to hezbollah amusing. they are shiites while boko are sunni.

No-one said anything about Boko.

I was right.

The dogs are probably trained to smell semtex, gunpowder or some other things associated with Boko lunatics.

Hezbollah? Good job, JTF.

Dude, you're good-looking. But you're defo not the most handsome.

They're claiming victories and asking for help from fellow lunatics at the sametime?

If it ain't about power, money, or military hardware, count me out.

Burger01: It's just a matter of time. This madness from Boko Haram would soon be a thing of the past.

War alone cannot solve this problem: we're not fighting a group, rather, we're battling against an ideology. And a very sick one at that.

Very good. That way, they get to die. Yay!

Just a little misunderstanding.

I must study the psychology behind Islamic
extremism. Just look at the guy, he looks ret@
rded from all the brainwashing. Maybe I can apply
the same methods to the opposite sex, and
business.

Me!

Hmm...Op's a cutie.
On a serious note, Nigeria has to contend with bloodthirsty terrorists. What's Ghana battling?

Lol...calm down. You've done nothing wrong.

automaticcarzz: I knew this since they moved to Niamey four months ago. There's no way our military would have been successful without the help of U.S spy drones in the sky.

I don't fancy this kind of mentality.

izzo22: even with all the CCTV in the UK people still commit crime ....

Pay no heed to that ignoramus.

Jakumo: Carbon-monoxide poisoning from a silencer leak in their car, especially while stuck in traffic, would indeed put all occupants into a deep slumber that could lead to a comatose state, followed by death, if they are not removed from the source of the exhaust leak and given oxygen quickly.

Do people still use that word? Kinda archaic if you ask me.

Adanyebe: OKAY NOW >> COME AND FORCE ME TO WORSHIP ALLAH!

Lol

PHIPEX: About a month ago the world focused on Nigeria because of Achebe, now we shall once again be the focus of the world because someone memorised so much of Quaran and lost his senses. Who knows, he may be a Niralander

LMAO

This thread contains some of the most ignorant and foolish comments I've ever come across on nairaland.

samir101ng: @chidindufrank,

How gullible can you be ? Have you ever handled real money before ? How can somebody be walking around with N600,000,000.00 on him and posing as beggar ? Mstchewwwwwwwww !!!!

Who says they found cash on him? Only fools jump to conclusions, btw.

Black Swan:
That story about an orange seller with 600m was probably concocted by the jtf, there is no way to confirm that it is true.
@topic, the state government should do something to alleviate their suffering instead of letting jtf limit their activities any way they like

LMAO...Concocted my arssssse! Do you think they're jobless like you. You're not making any sense, woman, girl, whatever!

Overspend?

PHIPEX: A part of me tries to see this as a shocker that shouldn't happen but I am tempted to go with the presidency in this (if it's true). let'sremember that SOE is a means to an end and not the end itself. While it's easy to get sentimental and wish all Boko Haram members dead, I think this is a good strategy where the two doors are open; dialogue and military force, it's left for each member to choose where he wishes to belong. Moreso, considering the North-South divide in this country, it could be another opportunity to prove the gainsayers wrong who think the South has gone to war againt the north. Our ultimate target is peace in this country and to me this isn't a too hard price to pay for it.

In times like this I remember this golden letter by one of the World's greatest leaders when he was faced with this similar situation in his country; a civil war in America.
"I have examined personally all the papers in the Lyons case, and I see that it is a matter for executive interference. So I turn it over to you with full confidence that you will do what is just and right; only begging you, my dear General, to do nothing in reprisal for the past- only what is necessary to ensure security for the future and remind you that we are not fighting against a foreign foe, but our brothers, and that our aim is not to break their spirit but only to bring back their old allegiance. Conquer by kindness- let that be our policy. Very truely yours, Abraham Lincoln."

Dude, we're talking about terrorists here. They're not normal people. Lincoln didn't fight Al'Qaeda, Haqqani or the Taliban.

This unprecedented move could dampen the morale of our troops.

ZUBY77: I am confused about this god who cannot save his children from
1 - Natural disasters
2 - Bombings by people who are allegedly worshiping the wrong god.
3 - Stampeding themselves thereby murdering their own people.

Lol...your stupidity is even more confusing. Now tell me, how long does it take for one to attain your level of foolishness?
