I personally dont trust Aliyu Gusau and I really dont know why Jonathan appointed him in the first place!

Jonathan needs a very experienced war time General as his National Security Adviser at this moment. Someone like Martin Luthar Agwai. He can bring his experience as CAOS, CDS in the Nigerian Army and UN commander of Peace Keeping Force in Sudan. He will not be seen on day to day basis but he will be a wise consul to the President.

Gusau should be removed and Sambo Dasuki can be made defence minister with the responsibility to brief Nigerians often on the efforts of Government to defeat Boko Haram. Dasuki can co-ordinate this regular briefings alonside the military spokesman.

It just seems parts of Nigeria are being overun and no one is doing anything or saying what they are doing about it. The crisis in the North East needs more focus.

No amount of advice can change the situation on.ground. the troops on the front are not motivated, they see the way dead colleagues family are shabbily treated and they feel shortchanged by the brazen diversion into private pockets funds approved for the counter-terrorism.

No one wants to die for nothing. The system needs reorientation and remotivation. You can't be in the front battling the insurgents and those who you feel are ripping you off are being celebrated N awarded with national honours.

I've young officers close to me who are grumbling about the situation but cant talk because of the fears of bein labelled a traitor or courtmarshalled. The government need to deal with the leakage and stealing of money meant to deal with the issue.

we need to deploy more troops, army and air force to keep the peace and expel boko haram

then we can start talking about negotiating peace

shekau needs to be in sambisa forest not Mubi before anyone can talk about negotiation

Yeah, he needs to be confined, enclosed, bombarded and captured. Him and all clones of his. The negotiations thing was a farce and diversionary all along. It wasnt genuine. There are so many hidden things in the whole shenanigans.

Life is good....
