anonimi: Are you asking because you want to make sure you are not being underpaid for your horrible job of defending Tinubu and APC failures since 2015
Just tell me please, i might need it for a life changing interview.
anonimi: Are you saying that because of your knowledge about how Tinubu, Fayemi and Buhari sponsored Tunde Bakare to lead protests against fuel sector deregulation and subsidy removal reforms 14 years ago? This was a year after Buhari and Bakare lost elections o.
It was also three years before Tinubu begged Buhari out of retirement, so he could be repackaged as APC change messiah, to make Jonathan a one term president, thereby ending 16 years of PDP prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol, cheap dollars and less debt burden.
How much do you think you have paid as FORCED subsidy to Buhari and Tinubu in the last 11 years, due to the massive corruption in their oil sector
KingOfAmebo: I think your IQ is below 1 percent, Dalung was talking about tracking anyone wether government critics or kidnapers, he isn't talking about the rescue mission, his point is valid because it means if with the technology the FG has they know the whereabouts of all the kidnappers or bandits.
Afterall, Education is not scam except if you have your reasoning blinded by politics...

ElevationD: And he is not the President. No vex. Let me ask you this:
Tinubu has been the President since 2023. In three years, prices of good and services have astronomically increased, with insecurity engulfing the entire nation and feeding much harder for Nigerians. Is Tinubu not such a “terrible thing” happening to the entire nation? Before him, insecurity was confined to the north. Now with Tinubu, even Lagosians have become restless.
Are you not ashamed that you have left the substance and started chasing the shadows?
“I didn’t promise that If I come in everything will change overnight. I can’t solve Nigeria’s problems overnight. I will start somewhere. What I will give people is RENEWED HOPE” - Peter Obi pic.twitter.com/xfIYIoC3uI
First, you cannot simply "issue an international tender for 500 helicopters." Who pays? Nigeria's defence budget is about $2 billion annually . A single attack helicopter costs $20–$50 million. 500 helicopters would cost tens of billions more than the entire Nigerian budget for years. Mercenary pilots? Even more expensive. And where do you base them? Who maintains them? Who secures the fuel supply?
Second, "close the borders with support from Chad, Niger, Cameroon, and Benin." Those countries have their own internal crises. Chad just lost soldiers fighting ISWAP. Niger is unstable. Cameroon is fighting its own insurgency. You cannot "close" a border that is thousands of kilometres long, with villagers who have crossed back and forth for generations, with no wall, no fence, and no political will to displace entire communities.
Third, "10,000 men" sounds impressive until you realise they have to be moved, fed, housed, paid, and equipped. The Nigerian military is already overstretched across multiple theatres. You cannot simply pull 10,000 soldiers from one operation and drop them into another without creating a vacuum somewhere else.
Fourth, "international satellite imagery", we already have it. The US shares intelligence. France shares data. The problem is not knowing where the t£rr0r!sts are. The problem is getting to them before they move, and holding the ground after they are gone.
Fifth, you assume that "unleashing chaos with an air mobile force" will end the insurgency. It will not. Air power cannot hold ground. It cannot win hearts and minds. It cannot stop the next generation of recruits from emerging from poverty, illiteracy, and grievance.
Your plan reads like a video game strategy, not a real-world counter-insurgency doctrine.
War is not about numbers. It is about logistics, politics, economics, and human endurance.
You have a division of ideas. You need a battalion of reality.
Solid breakdown on the numbers and air-mobile idea in theory, but this whole plan (especially “close the borders”) is highly impracticable and closing Nigeria’s borders is almost impossible because of how extremely porous they are.
Nigeria shares over 4,000 km of land borders with Benin, Niger, Chad & Cameroon. Most of it is unmarked bush, forest, desert and farmland with zero fences, cameras or patrols. Entire communities live across the lines, and cross-border movement (herders, traders, smugglers) has gone on for generations. Arms, fuel, bandits and terrorists move freely every single day.
Even if you deploy all 100k+ troops + helicopters, you can’t physically guard thousands of kilometres of open border 24/7. Smugglers simply go around, bribe their way through, or wait till night. Neighbours like Niger and Chad are themselves unstable and can’t “support” effective closure.
It’s not lack of soldiers but it’s geography, corruption, weak infrastructure and decades of open-border reality. Fixing insecurity needs more than helicopters and tenders; it needs real border tech, political will and ending the internal collusion first.
A division comprises about 10,000 men; Nigeria Army alone has roughly 10 divisions, amounting to at least 100,000 personnel.
Admittedly, not every soldier will carry a rifle; some are mechanics, cooks, accountants, and even doctors. However, Nigeria can field 10,000 men. I have not added Navy and Air Force or civil defense
Nigeria could also issue an international tender for a fleet of 500 helicopters, either for purchase or lease, with mercenary pilots involved.
With the aid of international satellite imagery, it's possible to identify terrorist strongholds and unleash chaos with an air mobile force of 10,000 men.
Close the borders with support from Chad, Niger, Cameroon, and Benin.
The violent support of politicians is not progressive. Support yours and let others support theirs peacefully. Obi is such a terrible thing to happen to this country.

tnerro1: Since you said this, I now know you have no idea what we are talking about, so no need to engage you any further, it will be a waste of time. You should have just acknowledged the reform and left it at that, not trying to be sarcastically clever.
If Tinubu was half of what Goodluck is, he would be given life president.
Tinubu recalibrated the metrics of failure, we were thinking Buhari was the lowest we can go, but Tinubu is digging so deep, we will soon hit crude oil
"Dr Abati you were in government when Sanusi Lamido was screaming that any government that succeeds Goodluck Jonathan will face economic headwinds because of subsidy. By 2014, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said that Nigeria was broke... If we had removed subsidy 10, 12 years ago, we…
seunowa: They are unhappy because Tinubu made the right call. They are in love with negativities so that they can be able to have conversation that will portray the government and the country in a bad light. It is not really even because they love those who are have been kidnapped.

Kidnappers are on the move and have weapons and human shields. An irresponsible cyber criminal is a sitting duck compared to them. One is easier and faster to catch than the other. Both would be caught. In order words, be responsible.
