Kokaine:
but somehow I want to believe that the native indigenes can be empowered with military training to oust these BH guys. People who have lost their inheritance along with their fathers and brothers will definitely not be bought over by the same terrorists who occasioned them with that pain. An indigenous army will do wonders in that zone.

Lol. What you should know is this, in those villages, there are people gaining from the BH and there are those that have lost a lot. The latter can't breath because of the former. Also, the government can't arm civilians with military grade weapons for self defense. Are they going to fight BH with those WWII Dane guns? C'mon, what makes you think the locals can achieve what the NA couldn't?

Elsueno:


That's why we have DSS, Military intelligence etc. Boko haram aren't as hidden as you think. Some of us have lived in the north east, so we obviously know what's up. These people aren't ghosts, They have areas they gather and control firmly like a small country. It's just some people high in government sponsoring them and don't want this to end. Because the people in d north east sometimes have to personally eliminate boko boys they captured because their is 80% they will be released after they are handed to the authorities

The DSS and other security outfits you mentioned in your comment are compromised. Any intelligence coming from them is relayed back to the BH and they take preemptive actions against the Nigerian state. See, the North-East is too vast and our northern borders are more porous than a basket. You will need millions of soldiers, not thousands, to cover such large swaths of land. The BH boys can retreat into Niger, Chad & Cameron if the heat gets much. They can also disappear into the masses and the army can't tell them apart. The locals are also in on this, some of them are benefiting from the insurgents. The good ones can't do much because their safety is not guaranteed and their neighbors would probably tell on them to the BH, I am sure you know what that spells for them. A soldier shot a fellow soldier simply because the other had killed too many of the BH boys. It made the news here sometime ago(can you beat that?). The man fighting next to you could turn around and empty his magazine on your body. Sir, it is scary out there.

Elsueno:


So Chad military na ghosts? You have over 150k soldiers in Nigeria who are struggling with boko and Chad with less than 50k dey deal with boko like child's play

You are missing the point sir. It is not by numbers nor tactics, it is simply not a conventional war where the two sides are clearly demarcated, coupled with the fact that the NA is apparently compromised (infiltrated I dare to say). The Chadians may have had it easy because the BH hasn't prioritized Chad as the chief enemy. I make bold to further state that even if you move the entire Chadian army over to the Nigerian front, it will make little or no difference. The reason is simply; the BH is fighting the Guerilla style. Think of the situation as "the enemy within" kind of set-up. You can't tell who is BH and who is not, neither can you tell where they are and where they are not. They have "sleepers" all around. It is a frustrating war sir.

IMAliyu:

Negotiating with terrorists is the worst mistake you would do.

The U.S military has cut a deal with the Taliban after decades of unending guerilla warfare. Trust me, they did their calculation and saw it wasn't a conventional war wherein the battle lines are clearly drawn. In a guerrilla war, there are no winners nor losers, the war just rages. The NA can't exterminate the BH even in the next 3 decades, bookmark this.

Germi9:

there are so many factors that is making the ISIS Saga longer..dont forget that the US have been successful in reducing their efforts drastically,hence they+(SIS and). should negotiate ..

The same point I made in my first comment; that there are lots of things working in favor of the BH and the compromised NA is one of such. I also said that the US army could reduce it to the barest minimum but can't completely exterminate them, as observed in the Middle-East. We are saying the same thing sir.

Germi9:

Well said ..but i think it will not be difficult for the USA because they will not be Compromised in the first place

The US military and allied forces haven't been able to quell the unrest in the middle East for over a decade now. They are currently negotiating with the Taliban and other groups.

Guk:


This basic profile is jaw dropping? And you are a Lawyer?

I apologise but i am suprised!

Everything does not start and end on Nairaland. C'mon, put that your device to better use. Do some research okay? You are welcome.

Simbrixton:
so Osinbajo is now a role model in your eyes no wonder a lot of you live cowardly lives

Osinbanjo is stellar. I will choose him over an Atiku. Thanks for the insult too.

dontai:
You shouldn't have used PYO as a case study, I would rather be an Ajayi to PYO, in politics you fight for yourself, know your self worth, leverage on any giving chance. who told you Aketi will still pick him as his running mate, if he stay put. As at today he is been heard than anytime in all his entire deputising season. he's only replaying what Aketi did to Tinubu camp during primary. It's all politics. moreover, He's the most popular deputy in this dispensation, even trending than shaibu in Edo state. He have tested his strength, and he really know his onion, defeating the governor by surviving his impeachment plan. If it's another deputy you won't even heard his name again. so pls give it to him, he's a man and a fine politician at that.

Well, you have point. Good luck to him.

Ogaonos:
i love his drive but make e try invest more on his interior Nd exterior design of his cars.for example DT 25million naira car dey use as price gift for bbnaija.suppose get d design of Audi or range or mercedes Benz maybach ultimate luxury or d vision eqs.e no matter if d engine Nd mechanery is like Toyota Camry of 2.5 million but is a good car.because if innnoson fit use dt same car with Mercedes Benz vision eqs or glk interior Nd exterior design e go sell o.

Your points are right on the mark sir. There are still rooms for improvement and it can only get better.

apokan200:
boss Ajayi wouldn’t have left Apc if not because of the grudges between him and his boss.even if he refused to leave Apc Akeredolu Will rubbish him and won’t let him be his running mate for the second time

Brother, the scuffle between them is a pointer to his rebellious nature. He is a ticking time bomb. A deputy governor should know his place in the scheme of things. He is neither an equal nor an equal partner, he is a subordinate. See Buhari and PYO.

Is that so?
