I'm not actually giving an excuse for those barbarians and scallywags who claim to be terrorists but undertake the bidding of evil Nigerian politicians and elites.

The Nigerian government had failed. It's glaring that the Nigerian government and its crude democracy can't manage its population and resources. The systematic corruption has crumbled the only physical symbol of national unity which is the Nigerian Armed forces and destroyed morale and dedication of the few who wants to make a change.

Nigeria is running out of time. This game which these evil politicians run like a cycle would soon spin out of their control. The chains will fall off the wheels and might lead the entire establishment to a total collapse quicker than envisaged.

Wasn't a total collapse of Nigeria predicted in 2015?

What has changed between now and then?

Stormtrooper11:
I've been on this thread since 2013. I'm the last person that will be brainwashed.

I think you have the Stockholm syndrome, because I don't understand how comfortable you feel with the unsecured roads in Nigeria. Every time a Nigerian is about to do a single meaningful thing, he put all his hopes and trust in God because the possibility of him reaching his final destination is below 50%.
Buhari's advance party was attacked the other day, the last time a president convoy was attacked in our history was 1976.
The Armed forces might had dismantled the terrorists from the North East but it has led to rampant security issues across the country. We're unsafe than ever before.

Nobody is denying there's insecurity in Nigeria, people learning in American schools routinely get wiped off the face of the earth.

Nigeria has so much going for it, we also have a lot of work to do with regards to insecurity, however the Nigerian situation is not helpless.

There's a huge investment in infrastructure in Nigeria, from rail, health , roads and education, whether that investment comes from government or the private sector.

There are more educated people in Nigeria today than there was in any point in our history.

The armed forces that have fought the insurgents in the North East, will fight the insecurity through out the country.

The Nigerian maxim which goes, "soldier come, soldier go but barracks go still remain" continues to be true till this day.

Noted. We've proffered solutions multiple times here but the Nigerian government and its passive population majority has refused to act whilst time runs out. Nigeria is a ticking time bomb.

Nigeria is a ticking Time bomb with exports worth over $60 Billion, and an economy where crude oil only accounts for 15% of GDP that's worth nearly 500 billion dollars.

Ok.

What solutions have you proffered that the Nigerian government has failed to implement?

Please list them, let's see.

Nigeria has been a ticking Time bomb, or so some of you like to say even before we gained independence.

We were a ticking Time bomb during the time of Uthman Dan Fodio.

We were a ticking Time bomb during the Aba women riots.

We were a ticking Time bomb during the the civil war.

We were a ticking Time bomb through out the various military coups.

We were a ticking Time bomb during the matastine insurgency.

We were a ticking Time bomb during the annulment of general elections in 1993.

We were a ticking Time bomb during Abacha.

We were a ticking Time bomb during the Niger Delta Insurgency.

We were Time bomb when Boko Haram started during Yar'adua.

We were a ticking Time bomb today.

What has changed?

All the bombs have come, gone and Nigeria has remained and moved on.

We cannot all be alarmist in this country.

Exnavyboy62:
I think @AskiaHarem is right to some extent about the improved security issue. I mean the last time we heard of a bomb blast whether by suicide bombers or car bomb was during the GEJ administration. The terrorists have been reduced from a Boko Haram of almost 60,000 members to a group of nothing more than 200 bandits, but the bad news is that they are scattered all over the nation.

We don't even know if it's the Fulani people of Nigeria that wants to continue from where Uthman Dan Fodio stopped or Foreigners from Niger and Chad that were meant to be political thugs for the APC but have decided to prey on us all, the entire system is just politically sabotaged.

Pls I know I don't need to tell anyone to "VOTE PETER OBI" but I'm just reminding you to spread the word. I rest my case.

I don't think the security situation is better today, than it was under President GEJ.

What we have seen today is by far, a better investment in the Nigerian military, than GEJ and his cohorts would have dreamed up.

There's a higher willingness by this current government to invest in security than the GEJ administration. The problem is, all that investment hasn't paid off.

While insecurity under Jonathan and Yar'adua was the entire North East, the problem is now spread across the country.

Also there's a higher probability to hold security agents to accountability now than under GEJ, Yar'adua or OBJ.


Peter Obi is not the answer to Nigeria's security problems. He might have a better handle of the economy but there's no evidence that security will improve under him.

Even the economy, how will he do it, what magic will he perform when Labour party will not control the Senate and House of Reps in a Peter Obi presidency.

No state in Nigeria would lose elections to Labour party in Governorship and State house of reps elections.

Are we expecting him to decamp to the PDP when he wins?

How is he going to govern?

AskiaHarem:
First of all drop the “we’re/we” and dpeak for yourself and keep everyone else out of your mouth. Just because YOU might be a failure doesn’t mean everybody else is too or that it’s another outside parties fault. I know misery likes company but you can’t assume others will join you; I certainly want.

Naija has been popping for awhile now with some soaring to new heights, some easing there way in and unfortunately some slipping under the bus. Then there are just losers who do nothing but expect the world to be handed to them.

No state has been a heaven while modernizing and industrializing in there respective timeframes.

From a military standpoint Nigeria is stronger than it’s ever been in the twenty first century in terms of enrollment, tuition, and arms procurement; not to mention a growing military industrial complex which it never had before.

Nigeria has been been providing military assistance all of the continent from Mali to Sudan to Somalia all while dealing with its on affairs. And you know what insurgency and banditry is at the lowest it’s been in since 2015. For example where once the West African coast was being described as the new Somali coast is now going months without major issue.

The same can be said to describe nearly every current growing sector in the country. The fact of the matter is while not as peaceful as ever Nigeria is indeed more developed and industrialized than it’s ever been at any given point in history.

This fantasy of this bygone era where Nigeria was once this prosperous glorious prototype greatpower in the making never existed. There where never any past glory days forgotten because in order to fall from grace you must first rise to a certain level and that level Nigeria has yet to ever reach.

See the people with your mindset hate the reality of Nigeria improving in one form or another because your steadily running out of excuses to blame others for your shortcomings. You fear the day you’ll be forced to accept full responsibility for your own plights.

Nigeria has all the time in the world and it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Some have been pondering whether or not Nigeria would disappear since the 1960s; they’ll still be wondering about that in the 2160s.

So predictable

Few months back sent a ind... american to issue similar warnings to ind....

Now same thing, a African American to warn Africa

Obviously they didn't learn anything from the massive online trolling on the ind...american

It's incredible.

Nigeria sent only 90 athletes to the games. Compare the number to Scotland.

Take a look at this headline, this is unbelievable, the mentality and arrogance.

PRESS RELEASE

NIGERIAN NAVY SHIP KADA EMBARKS ON VOYAGE IN SUPPORT OF ECOWAS STABLIZATION SUPPORT MISSION IN GUINEA BISSAU

1. Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) KADA has embarked on a voyage to Guinea Bissau on Saturday 6 August 2022, as part of the strategic sealift role of the Nigerian Navy. The voyage is her first national assignment since she arrived Nigeria from the United Arab Emirates on 27 May 2022. The Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo, who was represented by the Flag Officer Commanding Western Naval Command, Rear Admiral Yakubu Wambai disclosed onboard the new Landing Ship Transport that, “as part of the efforts of Nigeria in strengthening and enhancing security in the West African Sub-Region, NNS KADA has embarked military wares and logistics for the Nigerian Contingent (NIGCON) being part of the ECOWAS Stabilization Support Mission in Guinea Bissau.” He reiterated that the history of peace keeping in Africa and beyond cannot be written without mentioning the commitment and sacrifices of Nigeria. Since independence in 1960, Nigeria’s commitment has grown to be widely recognized in the international community as an unrelenting advocate of global peace, hence it is crucial for her continual involvement in peace keeping missions in Africa and beyond.

2. The Flag Officer Commanding Western Naval Command recalled that an ECOWAS contingent was deployed to Guinea Bissau under the auspices of the ECOWAS Stabilization Support Force after the President of Guinea Bissau, President Umaro Sisoco Embalo escaped a coup attempt in February 2022. Troops of Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana and Ivory Coast make up the ECOWAS Stabilization Support Mission in Guinea Bissau with one-year renewable mandate to stabilize the country. NNS KADA is therefore embarking on the voyage to deliver the outstanding logistics and stores of the NIGCON. By this effort, the capability of the new ship will be brought to bear in support of the ECOWAS mandate and in line with Nigeria’s Foreign Policy objective which focuses on Africa. It was added that the decommissioned NNS AMBE and OFIOM (both Landing Ship Tanks) had played similar roles before and during the ECOMOG operations in the 1980s and 1990s.

3. Furthermore, the Flag Officer Commanding Western Naval Command buttressed that for any peace keeping operation involving Nigeria, the Nigerian Navy plays general and specific roles. These roles include sea lifting of troops and logistics, Sea Surveillance, Blockade, Gun Fire Support, Control of Shipping and Sea Lane of Communication. Others are Search and Rescue Mission, policing, conveying of relief materials amongst others. Rear Admiral Yakubu Wambai while addressing the Ship’s Company onboard NNS KADA charged them to adhere to integrity, professionalism and teamwork in all ramifications during the mission. He also used the opportunity to urge the officers and men to respect the religious and cultural sensitivity of the Host Nation while discharging their duties in line with utmost professionalism.

4. On his part, the Commanding Officer NNS KADA, Navy Captain Reginald Adoki, prior to the departure of the ship, showed appreciation to the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo, for his support and enabling ambiance for the Ship’s company to embark on the voyage in support of the NIGCON of the ECOWAS Stabilization Support Mission in Guinea Bissau.

5. The senior naval officers that accompanied the Flag Officer Commanding Western Naval Command to bid NNS KADA farewell to Guinea Bissau were, Rear Admiral Hamza Kaoje, the Chief Staff Officer, Headquarters Western Naval Command and Rear Admiral Samson Bura, the Fleet Commander Western Fleet. Others are commodores Bassey Duke, Gideon Kachim, Victor Choji and other Principal Staff Officers of the Headquarters Western Naval Command.

Nigeria didn't come to play.

Nigerian Navy Ship NNS KADA today set sail on an ECOWAS peacekeeping operation moving military equipment to the Nigerian contingent in Guinea Bissau.

The mission is part of Nigeria’s effort in strengthening and enhancing security in the West African Sub-region.

Sister ship of NNS Kada will join the fleet in 2 years time.

NTSA:
Here in Kenya, we learnt painful lessons during the siege at Westgate Mall where weaknesses in inter-agency cooperation and coordination played out in the open.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) insisted it had provided intelligence about the planned attack, but the National PoliceService (NPS) insisted that the said intelligence was not specific. Meanwhile, as the terrorist siege on the mall continued, the military took over the operation from the police which caused a great deal of disquiet. (remember military training is different from that of the police)
Nevertheless, all the agencies learned valuable lessons and embarked on forging better cooperation, coordination, and collaboration
among themselves.

The severity of the incident determines who's in charge of leading the outfit. However when the army is involved in any operation in Nigeria, they are usually in-charge.

The problems we've seen in Abuja have been failures to act on intelligence. The DSS, according to reports delivered more than 40 intelligence reports to the Interior ministry and police prior to the Kuje Jail break attack. However as we saw, it wasn't acted upon.

An operation like we are seeing been carried out outside Abuja is an army affair, especially with the fact that we are dealing with Terrorist elements.

it's not even a Nigerian company it's somehow Italian if I'm not mistaking
They make patrol vessels too

It's registered in Nigeria. They provide training to Nigeria police and have supplied some ammunition to the army in the past.

Don't you think that their training and operational doctrine is different and is cut out to do some specific work?.... I mean general security is a whole different ballgame ....what will be chain of command if an incident happens ?

The police are primarily in charge of security, supported by the NSCDC which is a paramilitary agency, then you have the Army (Military).

For operations like this, irrespective of the incompetence of the Nigerian Police Force, with the jail break in Kuje and the thwarted attack at the Nigerian Law school which resulted in the killing of 3 soldiers, there's no way the police would have been able to handle such a complex security situation.

With regards to Chain of command, I have no clue of how that will work.

davefurn:
Na presidential guards dey fight bandits now, where is the police?.... We should have military police na...... This is starting to look more political than military situation

They are in charge of military operations in Abuja, parts of Niger and Nassarawa.

The police continues to prove that they are very incompetent sadly, that's why terrorism in Nigeria has blown out of proportion.

There's nothing political about the situation.

These are Presidential Guards Brigade soldiers conducting operations against Bandits.
