Not increased...Same pace as far back as we know.

These people are heartless and soulless.
Very dark heart

The govt is complicit.

Even Akume is complicit. He has finished his people too.

Looks like nothing will change based on the utterings of this one. People get your voters cards ready.

Very shameful and disgraceful comments coming from a whole SGF. May God deliver us from all these clueless and cruel rulers

Fujiyama:


The usual nonsense by the administration.

George Akume was the governor of Benue over twenty one years ago. He was travelling by road to Kaduna when his convoy came under attack by armed men on the Lafia Akwanga road. A PDP chieftain and former managing director of Nigeria Airways, Mr. Andrew Agom was seated right next to Akume in the governor's official vehicle - when Agom was hit by bullets - and killed instantly.

Joseph Ngam, a police orderly in the convoy's pilot vehicle - also lost his life in the ambush.

Over two decades after Akume escaped death by the whiskers, this country is in much, much worse shape security wise. Yet he brazenly makes the contradictory claim that significantly weakened and degraded insurgency networks (whatever the hell that means) have been emboldened by Trump's recent comments about Nigeria. In the last two weeks terrorists have repeatedly struck civilian and military targets, abducting Nigerians at will and successfully eliminating a brigadier general whose convoy was ambushed (sound familiar?) in Damboa, Borno. Is this what a 'degraded and weakened' terrorist militia looks like?

Over twenty odd years after Akume cheated death and we are still talking about ambushes, raids and killings in Nigeria's villages, towns and on her highways. But George Akume would have us believe that our own eyes are deceiving us.

Nigerians are not yet ready.

Silly talk, what has changed in the past 15years? People have been dieing and kidnapped daily since APC took over. Reckless politicians. Is this man not from Benue?

Without reading the message, I dare to say the response credited to Akume reeks of irresponsibility

Those guys just talk like primary school pupils...

See the rubbish Tinubu's cabinet is spewing out

I honestly agree with this statement, the terrorist sponsors are trying ensure this government is interrupted by the international Influence, the Almighty help this government over come its enemies.

Nigerian government, do there is not anyone of you guys with sense? Playing politics with everything!

When has the attacks stopped even before DT’s pronouncement?

We are in the worst government ever. This government thinks with their brains UPSIDE DOWN...

I said the same thing yesterday. The question is what is government doing about it?

US army cannot partner with the Nigerian army in respect to security.

Nigerian army has been compromised.
Moles everywhere!

NO! Trump's comments gave the people and the media the courage to report the atrocities more.

Just imagine the kind of people we have in government.

VOsimhen144:
My question is:: so in the whole of Nigeria military, police and DSS nobody get any idea on how to ambush these terrorists the way they ambushed Nigeria army and kpai their commander who is a Brig-General??

How many are in the military and how many are the insurgents? You have vast forest all over Nigeria that's where they live. How do you police them. Our boarders are porous. They receive arms and come in from Arab nations through our boarders. It's not as easy as ordinary people think.

It's unfortunate these are the ones leading the country, it goes to show he doesn't see far. When music changes what are you supposed to d Change the way you dance!

Trump is not the issue, this issue is because you people failed to understand what is needed to fight terrorism (Ast for help from advanced nations). Use drone to scan their route to avoid ambush of security forces by these evil terrorists.

When people like you were saying killing bokoharam is like killing your brothers it didn't help enboldened them huh?

Smh.

Chachalogo:
A failure will always blame others but himself for his own failure.

This is true. That's why all parties blame Tinubu for their failure.

🙄
Yes,you are right. The military rehabilitating "repentant" killers and rapists has nothing to do with it. It is not about the govt negotiating with killers. This is actually a sign of "strength and overflowing wisdom" and not weakness and cowardice. Na Trump cause am.
And by the way,FIFA has ruled that the WCQ against Congo Dr be replayed as Congo's use of juju is against FIFA rules...

Na today?
Excuses when una know what's up

WHAT KIND OF NONESENSE TALK IS THIS?

So now you blame Trump for your incompetence. Publish the names of Bokoharam and ISAWP terrorists sponsors and ask the US to sanction them and freeze their account. Name and shame them if you are serious. Nobody sells weapons inside Sambisa forest. Somebody took those weapons to them

DMerciful:
Meaning we have always been at the mercies of these terrorists if they can increase their tempo at will

What we are fighting is the international terror groups. Bokoharam, ISWAP etc are their branches. The west especially American is their number one enemy. Any mention of America attracts them more. The move in through our porous boarders. Can't you see that over 14 years this problem has not abated but increasing. As soon as Libya was balkanized all their heavy arms went into wrong hands.

This SGF is phycological and mental problems, we are talking about solving a problem and he's rather fuelling it the more. People should not talk if they don't know what to say

They know all these.
They keep borrowing and sharing the money and letting families bread winners die helplessly to the monsters.
Again, indifferent to the killings of innocent individuals who are not their family members

Arrant Rubbish

I don't see this comment as a cheap excuse but rather a sign of low intelligence and mediocrity.

Why is this not happening in Ghana, Benin Republic, Niger Republic? The conditions necessary for terrorism to thrive in the North are prevalent. 20 million out of school children, sharia, blasphemy laws, sympathathizers like Gumi and northen elites.

Let us put culpability where it belongs...Northern Nigeria

Flangelo12:
Without a doubt.

You can plot the increase in attacks to his first threat to storm Nigeria and you'll find a spike that tracks that statement.

I think the attacks have always been there. There is only more media attention to them now

Like the attacks haven't been coming b4 Trump's comments or wouldn't come again if trump never commented?

Imagine the sorta comment coming out of a government officials mouth
