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.

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

A very incompetent Minister, he should be removed immediately for this helpless statement of surrender to the bandits.

Tomorrow he will claim that he was quoted out of context.
Like begets like. Birds of same flock together. Is his boss any better?

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.

When government is ready, they will move and get them, for now government either isn't ready or they're overwhelmed.

You don't even need technology

You guys use your koro koro eyes to see them in their hundreds and thousands matching from one place to another across the length and breadth of this nation committing grievous unpardonable atrocities, yet you do nothing

What a shame

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

What's the point of SIM registration.
The issues of tracking identity of mobile phone users has been completed.

No Social media accounts without Gmail,
No Gmail without phone number,
No active sim card without NIN
No NIN without Bank account.


All loops have been closed as far as IT is concerned.
Blocking a SIM card today carries serious consequences for any user, since it is now tied to BVN, NIN social media accounts etc.

These guys are lying to us they're just making excuses.

If in doubt make one post on social media and see DSS all over your house in record time.

The issue is that people who have no IT background or training are heading our strategic information sectors.

Imagine an Inspector general who is not tech savvy cannot optimize our tech facilities to handle criminals, something that Chad and Niger will never utter.
They are employing because of loyalty not professionalism

To think this Bosun guy was one of the loud mouth anti-government Obidients who always think they know more than those in power, before his appointment, one would have thought he would solve every single problem he faced on his job without breaking a sweat. When we tell them talk is cheap, they call us names
Have you not heard that anybody who joins or supports Tinubu's government becomes stupid?

Just look at yourself if you are still doubting it...


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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.

Anyone with just common sense will know what Bosun said is nothing but nonsense.
Whats more worrisome is the Amount of energy this Tinubu govt has expended to Convince Nigerians Bandit are uncatchable

They cant just tell Nigerians directly, We cant catch them ( terrorist/bandit)

Since Trump spoke, its being from one excuse to the other infact, Terrorist organisation owe Tinubu on your mandate we stand anthem. nothing about Tinubu makes $ense except we just wan lie give ourselves

wdym by bouncing calls, there is no such thing as that.


phones calls are so easy to intercept because they still use outdated protocols made in the 90s like SS7 protovol except you are using voip which the average twrrorst wont use


even me a layman can do mitm on my gf phone and get her call logs, and her current location.


whats holding FG from doing the same abi them still day 1975

I know Tinubu is working hard at incompetence, but I think the gold medal still belongs to the Buhari-Emefiele administration.

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.

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

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.
