All this wont stop the fact that there is wide spread genocide in Maiduguri and army people are running away.

The only place our military is fighing is on Twitter

There is widespread Genocide because the FG has no clear focus on what to do with the insurgency(and that's as a result of denial)
We've shouted ourselves hoarse in other Forums on how best to handle this Menace! Why don't we have Pakistanis, Algerians, Egyptians, Sri Lankans etc who have had experience in CT-COIN operations in Terrains that are similar to ours as advisers instead of Israelis?

I have been to Maiduguri before and like most Northern Towns, it is characterized by sparsely populated small isolated villages miles away from each other!
For an Insurgency that defines victory by the Number of Civilians it kills, why expose more civilians to them?
If the NA kills a Million BH guyz, it will hardly make news, but if BH kills 100People in one Village, the whole world knows! So the No.1 thing I expected the Govt to do was to Starve BH of cheap targets during the Campaign!
Egypt, Algeria, Sri Lanka, etc all did this!!!

Force Residents of Isolated Villages and Hamlets in the Outskirts of Town into more Populated Areas run by Govt were Temporary Shelters are provided, everyone is registered and documented, makeshift schools available for children and a Communal Farm for Adults to plough! Then Fortify such Places, making it virtually Impossible for BH to attack! Essentially creating a Refugee Camp for your citizens and adopting a Scorch Earth policy for your Enemies
Then Air Patrol can spot out BH convoys easily and call for Mop Up!!!

But No!!! We allowed this People to flee by themselves to Maiduguri, Adamawa, Cameroun, Chad etc Sleeping in the Cold, Begging, Bitter! Haba!!!!!

If we cannot defeat BH, we should at least be able to manage the Battle space!!!

Everyday, We see New Reasons to believe some people don't want the Insurgency to End!!!

This is why I am for CHANGE!!!

For Christ sake, CNN has been this Government's No.1 Enemy from Inception(from refusing to grant interviews to our president and chopping the money, to systematic biased reporting) yet FG continues to tolerate them! MUST WE BE PRO-WESTERN EVEN THO THEY HATE US?
Aljazeera has been more objective in their Reporting about Nigeria, they even reported GEJ's visit to Maiduguri Yesterday! CCTV also dey try! Why not partner with these folks and throw CNN out! Let them source their information from 3rd parties(as many countries have done)!

That Soldier should be found and Court-marshialled! Even Civil Servants know they shouldn't be granting Interviews to Local Press how much more Defence issues being discussed with Foreigners! That's SABOTAGE!!! All the Pictures of fighting men I have seen in the NE show them in Ballistic Helmets and Vests!!! Do Boko Haram fighters wear these??
Those saying US embed journalists within their troops, is it foreign journalists they embed or their own journalists?

Last Recommendation: DHQ PRD must be overhauled! It is their failure in managing information that created the vacuum Boko Haram and her Sympathizers(CNN) is exploiting!

SiriusBlack should have been left alone!

Army should have ran 1hour Programs on Prime Time daily to intimate Nigerians on Progress made!

NTA or ChannelsTV or Freelance Journalists should have been embedded in some FOBs!

Honestly, I prefer Ihejirika to Minimah!

Aparo in View!

Very annoying

Nonsense! While the Average Northerner is willing to stand in the Harmattan Cold from Dawn till Dusk to collect his PVC, His Eastern Counterpart would rather Stay in his Shop and expect INEC to bring the PVCs to him there!

Go and Collect Your PVCs and stop ranting on Media!

Chai! From Giant of Africa to Lizard of Africa!

Islie:
Do you mean that the Cameroonian armies have being compromised to lie and give false figure on the number of killings they claim to have

Has the Camerounian Govt ever announced a Defeat?
That's the only thing they are good at! Propaganda! Yes they have the BIR which is a formidable force, but they are few in Number and already battle-weary to exact victory on BH on such scale!
The other day, our Planes bombed some bases in Cameroun and Cameroun issued a Press Statement saying they flew some Air sorties into Nigerian Territory!
I laugh and laughed! With which Airframes? Only Chad has the Airframe to make such a daring move with their Sharp MiGs!

jamace:
My friend read the story again. This news is very fake. How recent is "recently" in this news? No date. APC journalists doing the bidding of their paymaster. Una too small, wallahi. PDP will show APC pepper.

Even if its fake! Suswam is bad market 4 ur Oga in Benue State oh! Dem no go vote am!

Liars! Always exaggerating their kills!
Tomorrow, they start screaming for International Help!

Where are those arguing with me that PDP will claim Benue state?

Oops!

My God! OP, yoy killed it!
Good Morning
It was further Heart-breaking when I saw many Nigerians uploading the "Je suis Charlie" thingy as Profiles!

One thing became clear to me! The Lives of the "Masters' matter, while "Slaves' are very expendable.
Most of us grew up seeing people from Congo DRC, Burundi, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Somalia, CAR etc as ANIMALS who love cannibalizing each other because of the unending wastage of Human Lives that has become their Signature! Alas Nigeria joins such men!
The Strength of a Civilization is measured by the worth of her Citizens! Kill a Roman anywhere in the Empire and thousands will perish for it!

What is Wrong with our People...I scream everyday!

I watched the EXODUS-GODS AND KINGS movie and I wept! The Fact that Videos Censors Boards of various African Countries did not ban the movie in their countries shows a Lost Race that knows not its past, present or future!

I see insensitivity Everywhere!!!
In the Office, at Home, on TV, in the Bar,Church! Every fucking part of town!
Nigerians! You are at War!!!
From Enemies Within and Without!!!


BUHARI & GEJ WILL NOT HELP US!!!
Maybe even God cannot help Us!!!-*musing*

In 2011 president Jonathan was a beautiful bride but now in 2015 he is hard sell. It is easier to sell a bible to Shekau than sell Jonathan as a candidate now.

Imagine what would snowball if next week 3 Southern APC Gubernatorial Candidates Distance themselves from Buhari Publicly!

I don't like the way Northern Politicians are going about this Election oh!

A Court Injunction might help!

Did She Musulinta

As small and Shabby as it appears, There must be a Cell! Na why I hate Station!

OP! U know wetin u suppose do!

Dear NLs,
I have this friend who is a Geologist! He runs a bore-hole drilling business and I must confess, he is doing quite well even though his own is very rudimentary(the 3 Way rotary drilling process)
I like the Business because it affords him a lot of time (since Jobs aren't too frequent), yet when he gets a Job, he makes enough money to keep him going till he gets another job! The Flexibility of the Business trips me!
But I am a Medical Personnel who has absolutely no experience in the business!
I would appreciate some sound advise from my brothers and sisters here regarding the Pros and Cons of the Business and whether I can combine it with Medical Practice!
My Friend says I should look for a Geologist and invest with him(he is in the South, I'm in the North)!
Benue State and the FCT are the two places I'd like to focus on!
What's the Start Up capital like?
Profit margin?
Challenges?
Etc!
Your input will be appreciated

US Citizens queueing up for food stamps! I bet Buhari was responsible for that too!

Are they tired of Riding the Tiger?

LRNZH:
Hewo, Story for Egyptian gods.
I'm laughing in hieroglyphics.
*"§¶°¿~ ~~~!!!

Ok I'm done.

400,000 barrels of crude oil that Tompolo and other GEJ's goons steal every day amounts to about $10Billion of lost revenue annually by the FG.

Alaowei Broderick Bozimo. Lets mark his name.
If he comes anywhere close to contesting for elections, dig up this statement.

Alright, allow the Egyptian gods rest.

Yeye man.


GMB2015. Anti-corruption is in our DNA

You didn't put the 2nd Picture na!

Has he won the court case against his opponent in the Primaries?
Shey dem talk say him no finish School and is having similar Certificate issues as Buhari!

Either way, I wish him well!

OP! Let's say he aint creepy and stuff! ORDINARILY,ARE YOU DOWN FOR THE 3SOME ?

OP! Let's say he aint creepy and stuff! AREYOU DOWN FOR THE 3SOME?

la la la la la la la la laaaa

Feel the Burn, Mes Amies, Feel the Burn!

keyremotes:
I agree with you.
My problem is the people surrounding Buhari.
They are sharks. THEY WILL CONSUME HIM!!

I use to think so too until Buhari made the most strategic comment in his campaign saying He would not Revisit past sins but would draw a Line! That to me is his realization of his precarious position as a Lion among a Hungry Hyena Clan! Its a Coded Message for the Tinubus and Amaechis that "If you behave, you have nothing to fear, but if you dare misbehave,I'll bring down the Heavens upon you"

Another reason I tilt toward a Buhari Candidature is the Buhari is the Only Person that can BREAK Northern Hegemony! And I think these Peeps are his major Target! The Erroneous belief most Nigerians have is that all the North loves Buhari! Lies! Only the Common Man on the Street does, but the Ever-Kleptocratic Elites will not be alive to see him rule (the IBBs, Abachas, Shemas, Abdulsalamis, Mainas etc). Only a Northerner can break their Power without the Screams of Victimization renting the Air!
Only a Buhari can Throw an IBB in Jail without any rancour, same way as only a GEJ can arrest an Asari Dokubo without eye-brows being raised!

We need a balance in this country, a Balance that the PDP destroyed! Allow Buhari to do the Dirty Job for you so that you can rule peacefully again!

Moreover, I see no reason why PDP should be afraid of losing grip for 4yrs after 15yrs in power! They have the capacity to claim it back if APC fails(as witnessed in Ekiti)

My Beloved GEJ just boxed himself into a very precarious position! How will he campaign in the NE? What about the NC(eg Benue State where a PDP Governor is owing about 6months salaries) or NW where he's openly beefing Kwankwaso and Tambuwal?
The Pedigree of his campaign managers makes me weep!
Can Jerry Gana deliver GEJ in his hometown in Niger State? Tony Anenih nko? His State is in Opposition Hands!
And so many of them! You can see that even in matters the pertain to him personally, he still refuses to employ Merit in handling them, how much more collective issues!
My Biggest Fear is the threat of forming a Parallel Govt by the APC! With a Military divided along Ethno-religious lines, who will exact supreme control?
A Southern Air-commodore I interacted with vowed the military would crush any lawlessness from the opposition after the election!
A Northern Major that is a good friend of mine says he is praying to get posted to the South East or South South in February so he can protect GMB votes! That the Era of 100% GEJ in the SE in over!

Now can you see where we are headed?
I see the Gbagbo/Outtarra Situation Playing out in this country! And even though the ivorian crisis was resolved, 26000 lives were lost and hundreds of thousands of people displaced!

I still remain an Undecided Voter until either Party eases their Desperation

Nice One OP,
It is Pieces like this that we UNDECIDED voters need to see! Not the screaming match amongst both parties!
Yar Adua and GEJ in my opinion set the foundation for a Modern Nigeria! GEJ took it further by implementing policies with far-reaching effects!
But there's a Problem! GEJ won his election on a POPULAR MANDATE! Meaning the masses voted for him overwhelmingly! That was a BLANK CHEQUE to fight and break any perceived cabal, introduce huge Pro-masses policies, endear himself to the population by travelling around the country and making friends! Interacting with the very people that fought the Yar-Adua Cabal to make you substantive president!
But what happened? He lost touch with Millions of people who rooted for him! Formed a Techno-Oligarchy and practically walled himself off everyone else, relying only on the advice of members of these group who are avowed Elitists!

Its like Obama winning an Election on a Democratic Party platform and going about Condemning Abortion, Giving Tax Breaks to rich co-orporations, Expanding Guantanamo Bay, etc how would his Democrat Constituency feel? And what would be the reaction of the Republican party which sees a Golden opportunity to unseat him?

Swift Decisive Actions against Corrupt Officials and Incompetent Generals, Frequent Trips to the NorthEast, a Tight leash on his Wife, Asari Dokubo etc and an energetic Governance would have given the oppposition no chance at all!


The APC isn't apparently the best option for Nigerians now, but they chose a very Potent Battle cry "CHANGE"

He has conducted himself maturedly in this Election! In 2011, Seun was very PDP-ish!
