BWALLA is not different from Reno, Kukah, FFK

Do politicians have hearts at all? Are you saying Nigeria have no alliance with her neighbors?

May God punish you all

Starlink now requires NIN Kyc so thats out of the window

Shalaye 101, APC and excuse na like 5 and 6. But you fit track Yahoo bois and IPOB easily, but when it comes to northern Muslim terrorists, you go explain tire

Excuses upon excuses. Why we can't track, why we can't try but you can quickly track and arrest people opposed to the government.

So the same terrorists who can’t read or write more than their own names somehow figured out how to set up Starlink, mount it, configure it, pay for subscription, get it working in the bush but the entire Nigerian security architecture can’t figure out how to track a single signal? Interesting. Because these guys are illiterates o. Many of them can’t even operate a basic smartphone without help. Yet suddenly they’ve become Starlink engineers? And even if they’re using Starlink, is that not more reason why security agencies should step up? Or do kidnappers now have better tech than a whole government? Also, how come the same internet that cannot be traced when terrorists flaunt ransom suddenly becomes traceable when an ordinary citizen tweets something government doesn’t like? Is Starlink untraceable, or are they just unwilling? Because this explanation is sounding like Nigerian Nollywood plot.

If USA can track someone in Nigeria because of fraud, Nigerian government should put in real effort to track people regardless of the network they use. When it concerns national security there should be no boundaries but then they really don’t care

odejimioflagos:
This is a serious issue. The terrorists using Starlink and other unregulated platforms is a major challenge for security forces. We need to find a way to address this so that they can be tracked and apprehended.

The government should also explore ways to engage with these platforms to enhance our security efforts.

You just dey write utter gibberish.

makes no sense

You actually believe what this man is saying? The same fg that went as all the way to east Africa to kidnap Kanu cannot seek help from fellow west African countries to track these killers? No wonder they keep taking citizens for fools
They know there are simpletons that believe their hogwash

...And you can't liaise with the neighboring nations to track them down?!!

This excuse is so IDIOTIC.

Then starlink should be made illegal in Nigeria. Anybody using it should be arrested. Simple

The authority at wish this guys speak, you will know they know more than they are telling us. Is this just an assumption or theyve exhausted all resource trying to track them and come to the conclusion that the number they use for internet is a foreign number.

But they can tack people that criticise them. Rubbish

Sani Abacha's quote, "Any insurgency that lasts more than 24 hour, a government official has a hand in it.
If we can unite as one people irrespective of our religion & ethnicity am convinced we can fight and win this kleptocrat called Nigerian governments. They are all good for nothing leaders without human conscience.

Elon musk starlink is registered to operate in Nigeria and he got license from Nigerian government through NCC before operating here. The govt is stupid or let me say that the govt is behind the terrorists - they are just making excuses for terrorists

If Nigeria govt wants to reach out to Elon musk's company, starlink to get the exact location of the device these bandits are using to access internet, they will get it. Also, Niger govt can help them track these criminals if they believe the telecom network is in Niger. If Nigeria govt can go to Kenya to abduct Kano, why can't they abduct terrorists in Niger here? If they can bribe Kenya immigration and police to lock up and fly kanu out without Kenya govt knowing, why can't they bribe telecom operators in Niger here to release the location? The Nigerian govt cannot pretend to be law abiding just because they don't want to expose themselves by going after the terrorists

FROM GEMINI

IS IT TRUE THAT USING IP FROM A NEIGHOURING COUNTRY MEANS YOU CANT TRACK THE IP

No, that is not true. Using an IP address from a neighboring country (usually via a VPN or proxy) makes you harder to track, but it definitely does not make you "untrackable."

If you route your traffic through a neighboring country, you are essentially wearing a digital mask. To a casual observer, you look like you are in that country. However, determined entities (like law enforcement or sophisticated hackers) can still track you.

Here is the breakdown of why you are not invisible.

1. The "Neighbor" Trap (Legal Cooperation)
The fact that the country is "neighboring" might actually make you easier to track than if you used a country on the other side of the world.

Intelligence Sharing: Neighboring countries often have strong diplomatic relationships, extradition treaties, and intelligence-sharing agreements (e.g., the US and Canada, or countries within the EU).

Cross-Border Police Work: If you commit a crime online, police in your country can simply call their counterparts in the neighboring country and request the server logs to identify you.

2. Your ISP Still Knows
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)—the company you pay for internet access—can see that you are connecting to a server in that neighboring country.

They see: You → Connected to Server IP in Neighboring Country → Sending Encrypted Data.

The Risk: Even if they can't read the data (if it's encrypted), they know exactly when you connected and how much data you sent. This metadata can be used to correlate your activity with specific online events.

3. The "Tunnel" Has Ends
When you use an IP from another country, you are creating a "tunnel" for your data.

Explore

Entry Point: Your computer (Your Real IP).

Exit Point: The server in the neighboring country (The Fake IP).

The Weak Link: The company that owns the server (the VPN or Proxy provider) knows both. If they keep logs (records of who used their service), they can hand your real identity over to the authorities immediately upon request.

4. You Are Leaking Data Elsewhere (Fingerprinting)
Even if your IP address says "I am in a neighboring country," your computer is constantly giving away other details that reveal who you are. This is called Browser Fingerprinting. Websites track:

Your screen resolution.

Your operating system version.

Your battery life.

The fonts you have installed.

Cookies: If you log into Google, Facebook, or a personal email account while using that foreign IP, they instantly know it is you, regardless of where the IP claims to be.

Summary of Who Sees What
Observer What They See Can They Track You?
A Random Website They see the Neighboring Country IP. No (usually).
Your ISP They see you sending data to a server in the neighboring country. Yes (they know you are the one sending data).
The VPN/Proxy Company They see your Real IP and where you are going. Yes (They have the most info).
Police/Govt They can subpoena the ISP or the VPN company. Yes (Legal mechanisms exist).
The Verdict
Using a neighboring country's IP is useful for bypassing Geo-blocks (e.g., watching a TV show only available in that country) or stopping advertisers from seeing your location.

However, if your goal is anonymity from the law, using a neighboring country is often a poor choice because legal cooperation between neighbors is usually fast and efficient.

I know.

wellmax:
He’s absolutely right. But wailers will wail.

That’s why US can brag. They have access to users details on starlink.

We should just seek their help.

When western countries point to the irresponsibility of the Nigerian government, we boast of being a sovereign state
When it's time to act as a sovereign state, we begin to give excuses
Thanks to the gullibility of the masses
We have all soon forgotten that X formally Twitter was suspended in the near past just because some one used X to insult the then president and
X was forced to open an office in Nigeria
Now to solve a pertinent challenge, the government has it's tail between it's legs
Jesus Christ said
IT IS JUDGEMENT THAT LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD BUT MEN LOVE DARKNESS MORE THAN LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL

Orlandoo:
See watery excuse from the so called spokesperson of the government. You cannot track and arrest criminals, but very gallant and swift in arresting critics and innocent people.

He should resign immediately,for he has nothing to offer,
For how can you tell NIGERIANS that Drones can't function,for it's either you are Supporting the Terrorists Bandits and Kidnappers or
You are passing the buck for Unseriousness
Or
Absolute Incompetence on the Part of Govt- a, especially the ones like this one talking or govt is just trying to dodge responsibility in Security of the People!

The problem is that these people speaking for the presidency are dumb. Instead of telling untintelligent lies, why not say.... It would be inappropriate for me to discuss specifics of security investigations and operations of this nature publicly, in order not to jeopardize the effort of our gallant officers.

the explanation of dumba**s

If they are flexing crime in Niger or Chad, there's no collaboration? No Interpol.

How did you get Ekpa, the criminal and Kanu, the fraud?

Getting ordinary nigeidnss who post on social media is very fast and so easy but bandits have all the excuses in the world .

Salewa97:
Toh

The terrorists should continue enjoying their time on social media as the security operatives are coming for them all

The security operatives that do run away when they see terrorists ?

Continue

Shameless animals in Government just imagine excuses

What about those once that went for peace talk at Zamfara?

Lies and excuses have finished inside Mr Bwala's mouth

But you track and arrested kanu in kenya.

Bwala is a dumbass

Those terrorists use victim's phones.
It's not as if they use their own phones

So the victim phone's location can't be trace?

Elon Musk wanted raw Nigerian lithium, and Nigeria rejected it, saying he must build factories here to process them, not raw exports.

So we don't expect the racist criminal Musk to help us.

But they can trace Yahooboys using Starling but can't track Bandits
