Top-4 battle go sweet dis season.

Must PMB always personally issue statements or address the nation on every issue? Thats not his style, so let him be! The IGP, VP, Ministers, aides and other relevant organs of government have joined millions of Nigerians in condemning the unprofessional attitude of some SARS officers. Calling out the President is highly unnecessary.

Na Bayern cause all this thing. Anyway, dear Liverpool fans, Life is like a pool. I don’t know how. I’m just trying to motivate you.

This is not the first time lame statements like this are made. There is just no political will to truly reform SARS. Anything short of a total disbandment of SARS is mere cosmetic. Those guys are doing more harm than good.

Bonatheripper:
He wants to gain sympathy votes

Thats my reasoning. He'll also like to prove a point with his backed hydroxychloroquine treatment.

Be it scripted or not, my own na make God protect you sha. This is a man thats so much loved and hated at the same time.

Election Strategy or Whatever you Choose to call it, All we Pray For is the Recovery of the Potus/Flotus.

Since day of Trump's Presidency it's being from one Accusation to another. It's being from one lie to another all in a bid to bring Trump down.

Despite all the Evil plans, God Almighty has taken Him through them all one by one..

Only a Man Divinely Backed can Pass through all the Lies and still be President...

There is nothing anyone can do about it!!

I wonder what you'll say if Americans eventually elect Biden. That "the forces of evil finally triumphed over good"?

edoairways:
No it isn't. That dude has been moving from one place to another without facemask. He stubbornly refused to take preventive drugs, probably that is why Dr Stella Immanuel cautioned him

I remain very skeptical about Trump being unintentionally infected with Covid. A lot of people have accused him of not doing enough to minimize the fatality rate in the US. And knowing that Covid will be a major factor that'll influence voter's choice, he feels compelled to pull some strings regarding it.

However it turns out, I wish him speedy recovery.

The build-up to the US Presidential election has been characterized by lots of intricacies. I seem to align with the school of thought that the Trumps' Covid-19 "infection" could be a hoax. This can be a deliberate ploy deployed by the Republicans to put Trump in the people's heart and mouth, win public sympathy, and ultimately, score cheap political points and harvest votes.

How else can he better prove to his people and the world at large that he, and indeed fellow US citizens have/can overcome the "China virus" (that has claimed over 200,000 American lives) using his much publicized hydroxychloroquine treatment? Trump is a master strategist! And in politics, anything is possible.

Reacting to this news, a fan of Biden said: "Thank God you escaped! That man was spitting at you like the King in Hamilton". Lol!

maasoap:
No, you still don't understand what is happening and my point. Military are in all these places and all those places have already been liberated. But the problem is the governor himself, he's like a wet sugar that attract flies. There are some liberated places that if he goes, terrorists will always make attempt on his life no matter the kind of security details he has following him and lives will always be lost needlessly. And that's exactly what the DSS boss was talking about.

Thats true. Sorry, I earlier misunderstood you

francisgodstime:
Which stupid relevant authorities do they report to? did they report to d relevant authorities to arrest elzaazky,sowore and kanu?

So you think the DG of SSS just unilaterally does whatever he likes?

Leo588:
Exactly as I predicted.
They knew of the place was not safe and they couldn't make it safer.

This guy's are wicked, the money is their problem

They said he was asked not to yet until all the necessary security procedures were carried out.

Ogbuu101:
Some elements in the military might also complicit in the attacks against the governor.
There is a thriving fish market in Baga which both the insurgents and military bases there are cashing out from.

And thats simply why the fight has lingered. On a good day, they're no match to the Nigeria armed forces

rontolo:
You tell a sitting gov to hide in his bunker, while the citizens he should be protecting are encouraged to go to ‘high risk’ zones within his domain? What Zulum is doing is leadership! At the very least, the attacks draw attention to the insecurity the fed Govt are trying so hard to bury with propaganda

The DSS should be handing this active intelligence to the military to take action and secure our land. Boko Haram is a clear and ever present danger to all, not only VIPs

Exactly!

gulfer:
So what mitigation did the DSS put in place after he decided to ignore the warning.....DSS gradually turning to the NA (Nigerian Army) with this excuses

The DSS simply gathers intelligence (domestically), make sense of it, and advises the relevant bodies or report to relevant authorities.

maasoap:
Like I said the other time, that governor should stop putting the lives of security agents in arms way. He's taking too many risks with the lives of the people who are protecting him and he's really wasting their lives to keep himself alive.
The governor's overzealousness is creating additional more widows than necessary. He should remember that these young boys protecting him have young families, wives and kids.
Zulum, stop going to dangerous zones, Boko guys would always like to make a point

So, should we cede Baga and other areas where these insurgents are active to them?

lazypenguin2000:
I think Boko is active. They have not been defeated. Gureilla tactics has always been in their playbook.

That's why it is going to take ages to beat them sadly.

Just like many other sinilar groups like the FARC and IRA.

Even the US and many other advanced nations are still grappling with varying forms of terrorist activities. Its sometimes quite difficult to totally defeat these guys, at best, they're activities are rendered less significant and conspicuous.

Csami:
You lie to convince yourself and your likes and now, you're beginning to believe those lies. Your president gives amnesty to terrorists. That's not a man that wants terrorism to end rather he enables terrorism and rewards terrorists.
Your CIC is a terrorist!

And what do you have to say about the Niger Delta militants/militancy and how the Amnesty program helped in quelling insurgency in the Delta region?

Sunnyja:
Stop deceiving yourself. How can the governor be asking for Chad's help to defeat a "splinter" group. PMB needs to be told the truth. Bokoharam is still very much active.

He is the Chief Security Officer and Commander-in-chief of the armed forces. As such, he is in the know. But there is more to this fight than knowing.

luluman:
BALDERDASH! So because you have a point to prove you risk other people's lives?

Between risking 20-40 lives and risking thousands, which is better?

frankyychiji:
The army themselves are sabotaging their own efforts.

The military has repeatedly refuted this, but we all know thats the truth. There is a tactical dictum in the military that no plan for any tactical maneuver survives contact with the opponent.

frankyychiji:
Boko Haram has always used guerilla style attacks and has been factioned a long time ago. It's not because of any technical defeat.

Well, tactically defeated in the sense that they no longer control large areas (LGAs) as they once did, and can't stage an attack without being repelled and forced to retreat. mind you, in warfare, guerrilla attack strategy is mostly used by the weaker opponent.

Anago55:
. Stop this lies and believe that a large chunk of borno is under Boko Haram administration

Did I ever say that? Please read and well comprehend before throwing baseless accusations.

StaffofOrayan:
That is not complications, that is enabling
Say Nigeria enables BH

No. Its only complicated. And this is simply because some few ones are feeding fat from the restive situation of that region and also hoping to leverage politically on it. However, Mr. President, the Presidency and the good people of this country (particularly residents of the north east) sincerely want the insurgency to stop so that normalcy can return. Borno used to be one of the most peaceful States in this country.

StaffofOrayan:
Abegiii
Chad showed that is just a myth
Nothing is complicated

Chad doesn't have one-twentieth of our military might. The fight on the Nigerian end is complicated because it has lots of political undertone. And thats why most of these world powers are not interested in coming in to assist.

bioemmy:
How about the local people that don't get such intelligence?

If the Chief security officer of a state can be attacked with such frequency and voraciously. It speaks volumes of the safety of lives and property in that part of the country.

Why hasn't such intelligence been long used to defeat the sect?

The governor should be careful, he has his life to live. He should remember his wife and kids. I pray nothing happens to him.

A living dog is better than a dead lion.

He should thread cautiously though, because it will be a great disaster if the insurgents successfully ambush and outnumber his security details. A person like Gov. Zulum is needed as governor if the war against those terrorist is to be won.

stonemasonn:
I don't know about splinter groups, but I agree with the guerilla tactics. But BH can be defeated by a carefully planed blockade, and Buhari is the best person for this job, it will be hard for a southern leader to fight BH ruthlessly.

Yeah, with his wealth of military experience and being of the north, Nigerians expect(ed) him to eliminate BH. But unfortunately, its becoming clearer that the war is a little more complicated.

Racoon:
Whao! After all the lies of BH being technically defeated? See how lies can damage someone reputation? So DSS under this regime can even be this cautious yet BH terrorists continue to operates freely? This still affirms that the DSS is complicit in all the atrocities of this terrorists qud.

We also need to understand that the insurgents have so infiltrated the fabric of the north east that gathering intelligence and ensuring its integrity is quite challenging. The armed forces are really trying to combat these terrorist. If only sincere political will be provided, these guys are no match to our military.

Mcreloaded:
Okooooo I pity the next batch to be slaughtered when he wants to prove a point again .

Imagine what the casualty would have looked like if it were the returning IDPs that were attacked. So the governor had to see for himself if the security situation of the town was good enough for his people. He simple put his life on the line for his people by ignoring the intels offered him.

ivandragon:
But PMB & the dimwits in government keep saying terrorists have been defeated... Or is the governor a soft target?


Lies always have expiry dates but APC & their dimwit supporters are too shortsighted to see it...

By attacking the governor, the terrorists are giving out a very strong message and trying to instil fear in the minds of the people. This is just to prevent the IDPs from returning, and further stamp their authority in the region.

stonemasonn:
The same intelligence told us that BH is technically defeated.

In actual fact, the real Boko Haram has been technically defeated. These attacks are been carried out by a splinter groups. These groups are equally deadly, and employs guerilla tactics in their attacks because they truly can't withstand (head-on) the military and stage spectacular attacks like Boko Haram used to do.
