This is not a war that can be won

It's the simple truth, almajiri recruits are more than what army recruits

Guerilla warfare in their terrain suits them than the imported army

Then their is the better motivation on terrorist side from religion, funding, territorial show off, etc

Porous boarders, complicit natives

Even America can't solve this with strikes, Taliban is an example

Well said.

They are working for their money.


Not fighting for me.
Without our soldiers, you won't be here typing.Let's continue praying and hope they are well taken care of by the government and their superiors. We should appreciate their efforts, it's not easy to be confronting terrorist with sophisticated weapons while you are using outdated weapons that need to be greased every two minutes.

. It's a war that can be won. The first thing is to push them back to neighbouring countries....with relentless pursuit..strategy. Make that axis too hot for them..... Executive Outcomes did it during GEJ era... FG need to get serious about their sponsors and even arrested terrorist.. it should be a simple death penalty. Then u put in place policies to address extreme poverty on the North.. The challenge is the lack of political will to do the right thing.

Even if it can be won it will never be by missiles alone. Boots on the ground everywhere are needed.

MrPOTUS:
And that's the outcome you're seeing. undecided

So why are you shunning that guy for saying the truth?

And the case of whether I'm corrupt, well, by nature, humans are selfish and will always do things in their best interests, this breeds corruption in most cases.

But when there's a strong law and institution against corruption like we have in China, the US and so on, it reduces it to the barest minimum. And that is what Nigeria is lacking.
Lol like China. Let say I am your brother and I stole money we enjoying in our house, the president is from the north and I dey opposition and I am arrested and sentenced to death won't you shout opposition oppression and cos we from the south south. Eg can malami be sentenced to death month Adc shout, can seyi making a be sentenced won't pdp shout, can Ngige or obiano be sentenced u will hear cos we igbo. We will pass the law when we all thieves. China law can't work here cos we are a multi cultural and religion country. How can you call your country disgraced. That means we all caused the disgraces. Just like saying there's a thief in a house they will say see that family of thief. Yes there's corruption every politician iis a thief but stop calling our country name.

Nigerian Military is a curse, they work with the terrorist.. How comw they knew where military convoy was going to pass?
Imagine Gunmi saying a source in the military from Abuja told him he has been mapped out by the American military
It's high time America established a base in the Northern Nigeria to put an end to this madness

Killing everyday okay. You will never understand the rate at wish people dies until your family members is involved. Believe it or not Nigeria is becoming a terrorist country. We need Trump to come and help us before it’s late. May the innocent souls lost rest in peace. Amen

push them where,

They run an open boarder with Chad, Niger, they are kith and kins (complicit natives) and anything to regulate that becomes a political quagmire

Policies can't work because it's taking the soul of the north and their perceived advantage that would be resisted.

What it was under gej was just 10% of what it is now, today terrorists have normalized terror to the door steps through the bandits.

It's now a door to door outreach enterprise that more are gaining from, the incentive from collecting tax, taking lgas, etc has blossomed the power experience for them

U need few boots on ground
Battle hardened foreign mercenaries
Few Nigerian soldiers trained in counter terrorism
Full Air Support
Those guys should report straight to the Presidency
to avoid sabotage
With duly paid allowances..
Use relentless pursuit strategy i.e those guys will hunt boko haram like rats
Instead of their usual style of repelling

Mathewrichard99:
Everybody is corrupt in this Nigeria, even you without any accusation or blame but because corruption is a mode of survival for every Nigerian. You need to be corrupt for you to have a live in Nigeria..to be able to breathe.....etc......
Now we are on the same page. Insult the politician, insult the government, i don't have problem with them but tagging and calling nigeria name is not right. No. Have u ever seen an American ir British curse thier country? But they will insult and curse d politicians. If we keep cursing or tagging the country we all trying to save names so whatvus the essence of trying to save it. It might look crazy today but one day we will make progress or we one day go our ways. With d way the north is going Nigeria might spilt soon. No obi, no Atiku, no tinubu can stop this madness from the induced religious north. Thou there still good Muslims.

Exactly and I wonder why the Nigerian military doesn't have such devices, my question is what have they been doing with the fat security votes honestly this country is a mess under Tinubu

It will soon reach everywhere; it’s only a matter of time. No one deserves to die like this. You can keep typing “RIP” and blaming victims for being in the “wrong place. Wait until everywhere becomes the wrong place.

Stop talking about national shame stop it. When fighting demons called Jihaddist casualties like this occurs so stop it.

Okah brought Bomb to Eagle Sqare here in Abj during our brother Gej is that a national honour?

During Buhari it was a nightmare your obi that suddenly remember national shame now pls where was this is sudden rhetoric nationalshame when thousands of our army killed daily for 8 good yea non stop? But now he suddenly remember national disgrace and you his followers picked it up from him without asking him where was him during Buhari reign of horror for 8 years?


What I expected from a sane Nigeria is that the millitary should fix IED detector 100 meers away customised it in all their operational vehicles be it war machines or vonvoys.

Almajiri is a traditional/islamic thing so how is govt suppose to be finding it or interfering in it? It makes no sense whatsoever.
Will govt sponsor aspects of cultural day in Anambra or Osogbo?

This vlogger person should be sanctioned.
You don't help terrorists by posting this kind of things against the nation.
It is a kind of positive "propaganda"for the terrorists.
Go and learn from Israel and other advanced nations,Israel even arrested journalists who posted the relics of Iran missiles hits in Tel Aviv.

Jakumo:
The sudden increase in frequency and brutality of terror attacks in Nigeria is no coincidence. The terrorists HOPE to discourage the USA from assisting Nigeria militarily, but, the effect of this strategy will be the opposite of what is anticipated by the terrorists, because MORE missile strikes are likely, and with greater frequency.
Where has the US be n successful in fighting terrorism? .... 20 years in Afghanistan... then what? Where have they gone in the name of fighting terrorism that terrorism has not increased in that place and civilians suffer even more? What different are we seeing now? ... aren't the results the same? Same tactic and you're expecting different results? How many terrorists were killed in the missile attacks? Keep hoping that the US launch massive missile attacks... but be prepared for massive collateral damage and claim the terrorists are using civilians as human shields.

Be careful what you wish for

Welcome to Nigeria
Read about ISWAP and Co.They are in 4 West African nations including Nigeria and Chad.
It was caused by the war against ISIS in Syria.
Most of you do not know that terrorism has never been defeated but dispersed into other regions of the world.
If it is one that has insiders like ours,it is more dangerous and complex.
Go and read about the the first terrorists like the Crusaders and Co.
Even Trump and other leaders have not been able to stop gun violence terrorism in USA.
More than 13000 people have been killed just in 9 or so months of Trump.
Any leader that can successfully stop this will have a God given wisdom.
