kosovo:
You are the one fooling yourself...
In the last 6 years.. U.S blocked every channel of weapon sale to Nigeria.. It was blocked in the U.S, Israel, And South Africa..
Until we went to Russia and Ukraine, which U.S has no power over.. Nigeria couldn't secure some weapons to combat the hi-tech weapons of BH.
Secondly, in the last 6 yrs.. Neither border nations joined the fight.. Now we have Chad, Niger, Cameron and A.U in this fight.
Over 20,000 solders, Airforce and Navy are in this fight . Hence, the massive offensive and bombardment..
UPDATE: 4:36PM/20/02/15
I can't reply all the mentions, but I need to clarify some very sincere objections..
For those asking why Government didn't buy weapons from Russia ever since;
Purchasing weapons isn't just like going to the market to buy Garri, if one seller doesn't sell, you simply move to the other.
There is a lot of bureaucracy involved. If purchasing weapons was so easy, Iran wouldn't have had it and still having it tough with the development of nuclear energy, which the UN and U.S. Believe is a secrete plot to developing weapons of mass destruction..
On the Side Note:
It is unfair to place the entire blame on president Jonathan.
When the 9/11 attack happened, all right-thinking nations developed their military, including South Africa and Chad to meet the challenges ahead and guard against any future terrorist attack. If the previous government started developing and upgrading the military, we would have enough intelligence to counter the terrorist, even before they escalated to this level.
Is it not a shame that the last time Nigeria got a Naval ship was in 1983? Only recently did President Jonathan acquire 8-Naval ships, four already commissioned and handed-over to their captains, while Nigeria awaits the remaining four.
Finally:
It is important to note that President Jonathan's hands were literally tied on the issue. He was not willing to commit Genocide in the North East like OBJ did in Odi. OBJ may have escaped the ICC, GEJ may not, if he carried out aggressive offensive without the backing of the A.U.
The intervention of A.U and assistance from border nations was the game changer. Unfortunately, it happened 6-years into the Jonathan's administration.
The U.S. obviously decided to suffer the Nigeria government because it refused to approve Gay marriage. This, the U.S sees as a violation of human rights, and uses the BH insurgency as a means to retaliate.
Nigeria enjoys great ties with the U.S,.. going ahead with Russia who now provide military Intel to the Nigeria Army means that Nigeria would suffer further backlash from the U.S...
In essence, as a patriotic Nigerian, it is not the time to blame.. it is the time to consolidate on our recent gains in the fight against insurgency and give the government all the support it requires.
When the 9/11 happened, no single American blamed George Bush. Even the Opposition Democratic party became United for a common goal, and that was the WAR against terror. America has never been more United until the terror attack which sent shock-waves through the spine of all Americans. The 9/11 attack is one of the most accurately planned and devastating terror attack in the world.
It is time for us to unite..
God bless Nigeria! My man, evidence of force ships are never seen and don't show us South Africa pix, after all we were able to see the used trains of which the buyer can't use for once. As for 9/11 attack blame on Bush, the tragic experience happened once and American response was very strategic and preventive for repetition. Boko attack is not once, not twice, so why would you not blame someone who make promise on bringing back our girls and still fails, rather telling us that it could have been worse! Lastly, unity is all we want. No one is saying my honorable president is not performing but if we weigh merits and demerits, demerits is much more so we call for CHANGE. I personally will re-elect mr president if he can bring back our girls. |
