Chief Olabode George, a former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Sunday said there is no way the Federal Government can win the war against insurgency in the country except it adopts a new strategy which will also help in confronting the growing insecurity challenges.

Speaking with Daily Independent, George, a retired Commodore and ex-military administrator, said Nigeria is fighting guerilla warfare which nobody has won in any part of the world.

Also speaking on calls for sacking of service chiefs, George said while the law states that officers should leave the force after attaining the retirement age of 60 years or 35 years of service, it is wrong to assume that sacking them will bring an end to Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

“On the issue of service chiefs, I left the military about 30 years ago. The law that I know, the commander-in-chief can hire and fire them. He appoints them, he also has the capacity to fire them. 35 years of service or 60 years of age, those are the two conditions. Once you hit one first, then you should go.

“I don’t know how long these service chiefs have served but we are making it look as if it’s a matter of throwing them away that will resolve the Boko Haram crisis. The hood doesn’t make the monk. That kind of insurgency, the war that is going on is a like a guerilla warfare. Nowhere in the world have they fought guerilla warfare and somebody wins or somebody loses.

“I was a Weapons Systems Officer in the Navy. I went to the United States War College and I taught at our own War College here. The Boko Haram is very unconventional and nobody will win it. Those people you are fighting have the same physical structure like those who live in the North-East. They look alike, they speak the same language, wear the same cap.

“So, how do you open your fire at them? They will come in the daytime like anybody else and there is no way you can differentiate who is Boko Haram or not. They mingle with the crowd and at that time, they are surveying you and in the night they strike. As a soldier, do you fire anybody you see? Because the rules of engagement will be well defined.”

George also called on the Federal Government to urgently put in place a high powered panel to interface with the Boko Haram sect, saying, “They are also Nigerians.”

“There is need for a dialogue. Do you know how long America has been in Afghanistan? Even the Russians came there but ran back. In Germany, they are now discussing with the Talibans. Americans with all the powers and technology they have, they have not been able to win that war. They are even setting an army up now in outer space.

“Let us jaw-jaw. It is not about buying of equipment because those guys also have sophisticated weapons. It is not a shame to dialogue with them, they are Nigerians.

“We can get the United Nations or African Union to get a committee of leaders who will call for a dialogue between the government and insurgents. Check the Vietnam War, how did it end? Check the one that happened in Bangladesh; nobody wins. I hope they go to their tactical table to come up with solution.

“From my own knowledge of military affairs, Nigeria cannot win the war against Boko Haram. What differentiates these Boko Haram insurgents from the locals? Unless the one you caught red handed wearing bombs. They are the same”, he said.

What of if they insist on their default request?

“Most of the governors are in favour of the change of guards in the military to allow for fresh ideas. But the President seems to have some intelligence at his disposal which has made him to retain the Service chiefs'.


He will not survive this if his persistence is self motivated...

KEEP DECEIVING YOURSELF EHNNNNNNNNNNNN

Help me ask am, how many people dey respect oba of benin on daily basis.
Some Edo people sef dey talk say oba of benin is not a first class king in Edo kingdom, I don't know how true that is. If it is true, he now wants to compare that one with a king that covers one of the largest tribes in the nation, well, if not the largest sha...,

Waytolife:
Pls I have a question, am not trying to be rude but just inquisitive, if I decide not to join in prostrating, what will happen? Will i be arrested or cursed?

If you are a dedicated staff, instinct will tell you to respect and add value to the zeal of your company...heaven will not fall tho, if you decided to do otherwise.

What do obas do?





When Buhari will still make the final decision...

One day, this nation will be great again.
I'm seeing Confederated Nigeria...
I know of one major advantage; competitiveness among the states, thereby, enforcing speedy growth.
On the other side, the major con is In the fact that Aristocratic style of government will be built in so many states of the nation (Africans way) again and thereby, draw them 106 years back...





Confederal System of government, Good or Bad?

Biafrareform:
Good morning all, for those still awake.

I think my relationship just ended. Something we both cherish.

Well, months back my ex and I came back together. We had a bliss relationship while in our final year, but I wasn't committed at all and she knew it and left. Back then in school she kept going to my phone and of course she do see things to talk about .

After 1 year of being apart, I needed a committed relationship cos I wanted to settle down. She came to my mind and the feelings was so strong even though I tried to resist it. We finally met and resolved all issues that led to her leaving .

Is been the sweetest memory we have had so far. Everything was going fine. She is a nice and sweet girl. Our agenda is marriage and she is aware. She fits perfectly to my ideal woman. Our emotional and spiritual connection is just perfect.

Well, things take a turn when I went to her phone and saw stuff that knocked me out. What really got me mad was her dating a married man. My emotion was dead. She said the relationship is in the past. She was forced to go into it after she left school. Her mum forced her into it when she stopped caring for her and asked her to go fend for herself. Then we weren't together. She confessed to becoming someone else from who I knew when I didn't tried to bring her back. But she is not a bad as I think , she concluded .

I also saw her chat with someone where she sent a bedroom pics she took in my house. She said she is just flirting with him (they have a fling) but that I should give her time, she is going to completely cut of tiers with them.

Well, I love her was ready to stay with her.
She was around again this Val and was tempted to check again and noticed she is still communicating with the married man. Infact I noticed they met lately in January. I locked up , and decided that is over. Didn't talk to her about it.

We went out for on Saturday. She is the type that hardly post on Facebook. Infact she has reduced my activities on Facebook. Her reason, our lives shouldn't be on social media.
I uploaded our outing on WhatsApp. She did too, but didn't upload the one we took together. Yea, she hasn't done that b4. I was angry and voiced out what I saw in her phone. Accused her of deliberately hiding us from her contacts.
She apologised and told me she isn't doing anything with the man again. Just the normal chat cos of the friendship they have had b4 . She even handed her phone to me to call him and end it if I want . I wasn't taking any of that cos I saw from her browsing history where she is been searching how to make a married man fall in love and spend on her but didn't let her know of it.
She pleaded that nothing is happening between them again. Then she begged that I should stopped going to her phone that is destroying us. That if I ended up destroying this relationship, where do I want her to start.

She is back to her base and we chatted last nite and she brought up the case of me going to her phone again and I was angry with that and told her about the browsing history too.

She was completely devastated with my findings.
Is lengthy right, sorry about that. This is a relationship we both cherished and I know she love me real good. Ohh, I forgot to tell you, she bought me a native dress and sent 6k to me from her 33k NYSC allawee. She is a good girl. She is nice and caring. I love this girl real good. Never loved anyone like this before.

But I don't know what has really gone wrong with her. I was determined to really make this right, but as it stand now, it seems dead to me and I am sure she also feels same too.

I should have stayed away from her phone. But guys, is not my fault, I love this girl and I am serious about it.

Bobo, go and find work, u r broke! And thereby, you are not fit to be a fiance to any reasonable person.
Checking her phone is like a case of somebody that used his money to buy ogogoro and cursing the person that sold it to him.bod it your phone?
Oun oju nwa loju n to bro.
