The Nigerian constitution specifically states that the president has no powers to send members of the armed forces on a limited operation abroad without approval from the national assembly EXCEPT if national security is under IMMINENT threat. Even then, the president will still get parliamentary approval within 7 days.

But Buhari has deployed Nigerian armed forces to force out Yahya Jammeh and bring in Adama Barrow. And he did this without approval from NASS.

Why??

Because the president elect, Adama Barrow is a Fula (Gambian for Fulani) while Jammeh is Julia.

So if you are wondering Nigerian interest in Gambia, stop wondering. Adama Barrow is fulani, just like Buhari. And as you all should have known by now, in Nigeria, fulani interest equals national interest.

Chia.... This is totally a planned attack.
Our leaders are very wicked.

Why not any other place? why IDP camp?

This is actually the first successful airforce attack and it was on the innocent.

My people, what is all this child like behaviors, we all are Igbos. We always complain about marginalization but we cannot come together as one to fight the common enemy instead all we do is infighting on useless things. As an Igbo person, I will love to see a healthy competition among ourselves and our states. Please its time to come together use our time well if we want to criticize please let it be constructive instead of the name calling.

Fremancipation:
At this point, true federalism cannot solve anything. Here are some reasons

1) how will it stop Fulani herdsmen from killing?

2) if a reagion started to develop, especially the east, the whole almajiri in the north will flood that region and take advantage of the regions tax payers.

3) There will still be sharia law which goes against secularism and will lead to more clashes.

Buhari should draft Nigerian soldiers of Daura origin for the mission.
