dre11:The Minister, 'Bosun Tijanni is obviously referring to the use of satellite phone calls by those militia bandits, BUT for security reasons didn't spell out what he meant fully. These creeps are also using portable drones now. I saw one turbaned Fula bandit in the bush (in 2024) with some of his gang from one of the Sahellian countries operating and controlling a surveillance drone. The pervasiveness of all kinds of portable drones in the hands of these non-state actors and jihadi groups gives some cause for concern. The makers of these drones have to ensure they keep a tab (with unique serial numberIngs used) via a central database on those who buy drones worldwide. |

dre11:I knew the Minister was just blabbing with senseless excuses, I even pointed out his ignorance on that same thread. |

Those who are quick to support him when he made that comments will have to go back to their vomits. You need to be certified IT specialist or a part time conspiracy theorist to know that all what the man said was blatant lie. |

AlphaTaikun:He should have been silent on it instead of saying the calls "bounced off towers". That's not how Telecoms work. The telecom provider is exclusively responsible for routing calls. The Mobile Equipment (cell phone) has absolutely no capability to determine how calls are routed by "bouncing" them through multiple towers |

A simple "I don't know" would have prevented this public gaffe. However, this would require humility and for the typical Nigerian politician, it's a quality they don't possess. Who remembers "My Oga on top"? These kids of today were still in pampers then. |

This people are looking for random excuses to justify failure. A huge investment had been made by Nigeria government in the past on Satellite for communication purposes. The military equally upgrade their signal and intelligent gathering equipment annually with huge provision in defense budget. When you have challenges of this nature, seek for help from Israel, US or other developed countries how they managed to beat terrorists to their technology and carry out successful attacks and decimate them. If they can not do the job, it is better to resign and stop talking nonsense and offending our sensibility. |

It's better not to say anything than speak and sound like a broken record. I felt disappointed with the minister's remarks |

I find the excuse strange too. What i know bandits can do is relocation to abother location with victims phone and an extra phone secretly and undetactable. Then use both phones to call the victim's people and then the actual negotiating bandits and place them on loud speaker mode. Even those method can still be traced if the agents are up and doing with latest tech. It gives them the room to track the location of the negotiating bandit or middleman for the duration of the call. This however requires matching the call to bandit negotiator and the one to victim's people as fast as possible. |

airsaylongcome:I agree with you there. Silence sometimes is golden. However the young man 'Bosun Tijani is well-educated BUT at a time like this, Nigerians in the Diaspora and right on Nigerian soil want answers to issues BUT if for security reasons, you can't spell out fully what you have in mind, just say so and MOST enlightened folks will understand. On the other hand, Nigeria really has to get more serious. I've stated for years now that the purchase and launch of low-earth orbit satellites into space and the use of surveillance and attack drones would effectively minimize these foreign Fula militia bandits and the foreign Tuareg-led Lakurawa bandits from Niger Republic and Northern Mali including BH and the ISWAP breakaway jihadi group operating in the Lake Chad Region. The Tuareg-led JNIM jihadi group of Mali have taken over half of Burkina Faso, over half of Mali and a large part of Niger Republic (even after the Russians got involved) with raids into Northern Togo and Northern Benin Republic so this Sahellian security issue is draining the finances of these countries and Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic's insecurities under those military dictators poses more security risk for Nigeria because those 3 countries relied too much on Russia BUT things have degenerated now with Russia still fighting Ukraine. The coup plotters in Benin Republic also talked about the jihadi raids into Benin Republic as being their major reason for the coup despite the FACT that the current President Talon of Benin did quite well on the economy BUT the jihadi insurgency led to the death of Beninoise soldiers. Benin Republic being close to Nigeria foretells what can happen if all hands in West Africa are NOT on deck to deal jointly with these Fula militia and jihadi groups like JNIM, ISWAP and BH that are all affiliated to Al-Qaeda. So those countries of Burkina Faso, Niger Republic and Mali have to be humble enough and get the United States, the EU, and other fiendly allies involved in helping them out to deal with the JNIM jihadi terror group. |

AlphaTaikun:Ok, thanks for the insight. You mean, like Thuraya. So you mean satellite phones and satellite phone calls can't be tracked? |

Osiris12:You forgot that Bosun was among the zombidiots before he was brought to come and prove his mettle. Now he has realised that talk is cheap. He cannot dance when asked to come and dance. No mouth all of you zombidiots get. No action. |
