I still believe negotiation is the only way to sort this out. If GMB was the one ruling Nigeria during the militancy period in the Niger Delta, there would have been a full blown war in the Niger Delta.

Today, Oduduwa Nation agitators stormed the idiroko border post protesting and even opened the border

As for me, GMB failure to address the herdsmen issue and some other issues like the END SARS protest is part of the reason we are where we are now. Imagine make civilians dey disarm custom officer for broad daylight.

Are these people Nigerians? You might say Oduduwans, which might be funny for a little while. Yet, why is it so called Nigerians that I read on Niraland always seem like cheerleads for Ghana, South Africa, Benin republic, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania etc? The most important, pressing, issue for Oduduwa is border opening with Benin republic.

Then they will eventually be merge with Kano. It makes no sense having a state that is not viable. Any southern states that is not self sufficient too can merge with other states too.A backward state like Benue and taraba can be merge with Pleateu state.

I fully support what El rufai is doing in Kaduna state. He is working on downsizing the civil servants in his state. Most of this civil servants just go to work doing nothing.

We need changes for this country, GMB tenure is turning out to be a waste. GMB no suppose win the 2019 presidential election, but because of this present arrangement, he won.

If we restructure wey everybody dey them lane, if the people of the North west like, they can keep on electing a clueless disaster like GMB as their life president, it won't have any effect on me wey dey south west.

It's a partition barrier coz of covid, over here they use something similar at banks, grocery stores etc.
At least that's what i think it is.
It's silly for him to have bullet proof barrier in his office like that, doesn't he go outside? Then what

Who have seen the video of NGF patrolling in Owerri this morning. One of the recent APC was included in the convoy.

War come and go and people would still remain...with the current situation in the country I don't think any average Nigerian is afraid of war any longer..we all have been in a state of war for the past 6 years not even talking about those in the NE...!! Fact remains the Nigerian army can never I repeat can never win this war...anybody here can bring insult...The Americans with all their mighty had to leave Afghanistan and pursuing dialogue..but the dumbo we have here in the govt and army thought they can win against the masses...they should do a test run of military against the population and they would learn a very bitter lesson....!!

As far as this country is now...nobody cares for anybody once the chips are down all.those who contributed to making this crises would hop on the next available aircraft and run away....!!

The war is simply between the oppressed and the oppressors and the army should know that quickly or else they would end up as the burnt offering....!!

Waste of precious petrol and time. This weak attempt at show of force can’t fly. If they can’t gather intelligence underground and work closely with locals to go after these militants then they should all go back to their respective houses and barracks.
See that animal smashing the mobile phone of a civilian, at a time when they ought to be building civil-military relationship. Posturing themselves like an occupying force.

Sizzorkay:
Not much to negotiate over, what Nigeria need is to give a great deal of Autonomy to it's states, and that could do it. And while they get that autonomy, let them start having their own economies without the FG sharing money with any state unless if aid is required.
Nigeria can never allow Ibos to secede , they do that, and that's the beginning of the end, Yorubas will follow and others, then of course there will be no more nigeria, now what would happen to other ethnic groups within those breakaway regions? What if they also want to go their own way? Then you will have over 50 countries carved out of the present day Nigeria, and the large ethnic groups in the new country most likely won't allow it, then you have civil wars all over the place. Good luck with that.

I have seen Ministers such as Pantami, Saleh Mamman, of Communication and Power use that huge glass as a covid 19 barrier. Which also allows them to be more audible when speaking to their guest as they receive "Big men" visitors to their office due to their status. If you wear mask you might have had some people say you are not as audible with mask.

So they do not have to use face mask/ face shield in their own office.




Hope Air does not blow the coronavirus over the glass barrier

So i do not believe it is a bulletproof glass barrier protecting the COAS. Besides soldiers have access to AHQ but they or any visitor can't access the COAS office. Only few of his soldiers and officers do and they are all handpicked by him. They conduct security screening again after the initial screening to access the HQ

Notice the Tag with the COAS office on Attahiru ? Only those with it can access the COAS office freely. Those he choose personally.


Also notice how the glass in the COAS office has a little opening right at the middle, targeting his stomach precisely if a visitor would sit down. A bulletpoof glass barrier won't have that.
That is to pass things like documents or if the COAS will give you some dollars for the weekend

Lol, with the way they are treating ordinary citizens the Nigerian army are going to have a hard time in the South East. I know some here like to puff up their chest on how ESN or IPOB would be destroyed, but unlike the northeast, the southeast is a dense urban environment, the population is more educated, they have greater access to finances, have a massive diaspora and access to world institutions. This is not 1967,i do hope cooler heads in our government prevail. You can bring an end to the anarchy but not through heavy handedness.

GeneralFarouq:

War brings lawlessness... Right now the military is still operating with limitations... If it turns out to be war oh real war... All this human right concern would be swept underneath the carpet.
The people won't be able to cry to human rights organization, because there presence would not be allowed... And they may not be able to use social media... Most likely communication would be cut off...
The lack of will being played in the NE. Should not be mistaken as what would be manifested in case of secession....
We have not even looked at the Airforce
And that's my worry for the innocent masses in the state.

Odunayaw:
You're preaching to the choir. I honestly feel restructuring is just lipstick on a pig. The people are the problem 70%
