No offence but this is absolute trash. If Buhari had gone to Ogoni, there is absolutely nothing anyone could have done about it. It is very silly for anyone to compare the security of inanimate pipelines which run hundreds of kilometers to the security of one man. Any kid can just pick up an isolated unsecure portion of a very long pipeline, set a dynamite and blow it up, but it is obviously not the case when it is a president; besides the scavengers are unlike bokoharam terrorists who are willing to die in suicide missions.

I strongly believe the sahara reporters' story which says the president is sick. All his visits in the last 2 weeks have been cancelled from Lagos to Calabar to Ogoni to Senegal.
There is no need swearing.
He should have gone there na.
You think the Avengers are playing Sunday football down there.

I actually staked money that he will go to Ogoni and wherever he likes in Nigeria but guess what, I lost.
After reviewing my bet, I found out that these Avengers were likely going to make an attempt on his life. That's a risk the old goat was not willing to take.
There would have been chaos yesterday in Ogoni because the Army and DSS won't have any idea what hit them.

Our COWARD presido has re-define the word cowardice. We are now a laughing stock in the committee of nations, as a people who elected a lily livered chicken general, who hides under his wifes wrapper because of a mere threat from civilians cum militants.

No wonder he wears the crown of the only head of state in human history to have been removed from office without a knockout sound or gun shot. Our quarter system general aka buharii is an apology to bravery and fearlessness.

Kudos to GEJ for daring what a supposedly general could not do
Pls stop this kain talk
GEJ remains the worst president on the face of this planet. Everything we are suffering now is his making! Everybody just looting anyhow under his regime. There was virtually no single innocent appointee under jonathan. God forbid!

So u think if buhari wanted to go d NDA wud hve killed him? It was d COAS dat was threatened d oda day and d army killed and buried ova 1000 in a nite! D bridgade gaurd will level a state to protect d president if need be! Maybe buhari is sick or just wanted to avoid collateral damage. I remember wen gej was told not to go to kano! He insisted! And deployed d entire airforce for air survellance, y tanks and destroyers where scattered everywherein kano! Curfew started in kano 2 days b4 his arrival! U saying nonsense

There may be some iota of truth in the report. The truth is--if there was a successful attack against PMB, orchestrated by the ND militants, this country would definitely boil over the next 3-7 years. If possible that the US wasn't favourably disposed to the risk of another key African state thrown into crisis. They are still licking their wounds with Libya, Egypt is still shaky with the brotherhood lurking in the dark. My personal opinion though.
The political and socio-ethnic configuration of Nigeria does not lend itself to a full-blown, protracted crisis in the aftermath of a potential elimination of this president. Worst case scenario is that his fellow abokki cattle rearers would forment trouble in their Northern enclaves, and take out their frustrations on any unfortunate southerner they encounter in the core north. They cannot and will not troop en masse into the South South, South East, or South West to try any rubbish. Nigeria is certainly not Libya or Egypt.

If a President Jonathan who belongs to the region producing the wealth of the nation had been assassinated (God 'forbade'), ehen, Nigeria would have certainly become history. . Because it would have been impossible for any Northern president to be allowed into the Niger Delta to come and touch their oil.

The North has nothing to offer, so an eliminated Northern president cannot set the country on fire. Abokki would shout Allah this and that and behead a couple of people up north, and that would be it.

I keep saying it that Jonathan made a grave mistake by chickening out in fear that Nigeria would erupt in crisis if he had won the election by hook or crook. Nothing more would have happened other than the usual abokki bursts of madness in the core north for a few days, and I don't care if some stubborn North-based southerners pay with their lives for refusing to relocate to their home regions at such volatile times.

No offence but you need to update. Well, we live in a country where intelligence gathering is a mirage. The threat was much genuine than you think and he did the most honourable thing to do. Those guys have sponsors in high places and even though the president might not have been killed, it wouldn't have been worth hearing that a threat was issued and carried out cos they would have disrupted the event and lives would have been lost.
Well, suicide bombing is by far, an impossible way to kill a high profile individual cos u can't get close to him and there are snipers that can target from over 2km even on motion.

This has nothing to do with boast, I'm not in a competition with anybody and neither am I in a battle, this is just application of the most basic common sense. It is meaningless to compare the security surrounding a 400km pipeline to the security surrounding a president. I would expect only a child not to undertsand this.

Absolutely nothing would have happened with the calibre of security details around him...........did the scaVengers stop him from going to calabar and Lagos?.....if GEJ was able to visit Borno in the hit of Boko Haram who are willing to die why can't PMB go to Ogoni land because of cowards who hit and run and only make mouth online..........until they face the soldiers in the field the remain cowards

Do you have an idea of the kind of security that moves with a governor, let alone a president?... Then do you have an idea the kind of security that would move with a president when there is actually a live security threat?... how can anyone compare the security covering a pipeline to the security of a president?... is it only kids we even have on this forum?

Like I said, blowing up an unguarded isoloated pipeline in the forest is not the same things as penetrating a presidential brigade of guard and attacking a president, not especially when there is already a known threat which would make the guards very vigilant. I dont even believe the NDA made that threat, most of their communications are via twitter, but the so called threat was by a faceless caller on radio biafra claiming to be NDA.

The phrase "unguarded isolated" is actually not true because the RMP 23 and 24 are some of Chevron's highest producing oil Wells and attract a lot of security presence. The ones we might term as minor is that of Aiteo and Shell which by all standards, not minor as it has taken its toll on the country's economy.

There is no cowardice in running out of danger, Yishak Rabin was assasinated in the presence of the MOSSAD and Ronald Raegan amost lost his life with the CIA and FBI around him, remember also he has a wife and kids who would not want to be bereaved.

[b]I had a feeling Buhari not visiting has some reasons.
Even if Buhari was going to be attack I think that's almost impossible as no bullet will be able to get close in range as that will be covered... Do you mean a bomb or mine? The president convoy has a forward team who goes ahead of him... and probably a remote controlled IEDS?? That shiit ain't going to explode as the presidential convoy has a radio Jammer unit in it.... The highest would have been engaging the Nigerian Military in which the Navy won't hesitate to make use of her frigates to launch missiles on their position and won't be considered as a war crime by the world court as the President life is being put at risk.

Obama once made a secret visit to Afghanistan in 2014 in which not even the ATC knows Airforce one already took off from the airport. A secret visit because he knew he was a target. Are you saying he doesn't trust his troops to protect him? No!!!

Tho I was disappointed in Buhari but him not going doesn't mean he is a coward.

......and Mr President should solve issues well too. These people should not be suffering in their own land with such oil.
This is just like a matter of Monkey working and Baboon eating. [/b]
frigates jeez easy bro, frigates don't operate in shallow waters abeg. As for remote ide I know that the official vehicle has stang 2to3 protection level but hey jammers do not fit that level, if there was a sniper around dude he would hit his Mark or have u forgotten how ph airport omagwa looks like

Man please tell me another lie.. we are talking about conventional guided missiles here and not cruise or ballistic missile...
Russian SAM s400 40N6 has one of the longest range with 400km and US Patriot with 160km..
And no terrorist group has the capability to operate a 10km precision guided missile
How are you guiding it to its target?? Semi active, passive or active guidance? Or you mean inertia guidance at such range without a fire control radar? Nahh.

And you just typed a shoulder fired missile with 11000 range. Haha I need a link to that news.

I'm not joking. Even Abacha, IBB and Abdulsami all relied heavily on mossad for their intelligence especially IBB. The same way Buhari relied on American intelligence yesterday not to travel to Ogoni, was the same way former head of states used them to make security decision.

Haha.. very stupid a reply...well I didn't see your precision guided missile..
And how does NDA have the ability to operate a precision guided missile?? Man list ISIS precision guided missiles... and stop ranting.. and helicopters are to provide assault of enemy missiles position and covering the sky... Yea Helicopters against missiles .. I ain't dumb and I know what an saying am an Aerospace Engineering Student and I was majoring in Guidance and control system before changing to Electronic countermeasures.... Helicopters are being used against Missile positions... Active and Semi active seeking missiles using Fire control radars get Jammed with ECM so how much more a precision guided missile without a fire control radar?. Man you just dumb and you can reply yourself after this.

And man no precision guided missile can be launched from Ogun to Ogoni without a fire control ? Not even Russia s400 battery or someone is talking about ballistic or cruise missile grin
uve profiled urself well enough but here is the deal active ,semi,active and heat seeking missiles must do one thing, they must paint a target,lock and deploy ,mind you most of our mil heavy chopper(24nd 34) do not carry ECM nd even if they did, u know where they are currently deployed now, the best that would have happened is if the navy got one agusta 109e in the air to do recon and elint(little). Else from the standard pics, the only two aircrafts present during osibanjos arrival were official air force 1 nd the presidential Westland helo which I know has limited ECM capcbilities. Bottom line is if a PGM (long range) was fired as a GTG (ground to ground preset ) helos with ECM can't do shut cos they were not painted (locked on) unless u just want to try.

Note: most missles today have guidiance correctors that renders basic nd advanced chaff nd flares useless

What if the person sitting beside him empty the content of a loaded revolver between his eyes. Will you still say this?

There will be unrest in the north. The army will not go on a killing spree though they will kill to prove a point.

Osinbajo will be made president almost immediately for control, conspiracy theories will be everywhere.

You will come on the Internet and talk tough. Boko haram will resume with its usually local support.

The neutrals will talk some more, about restructuring the country. Etc

Nothing more.

Even secondary school students can blow up pipelines in the forest, or some isolated oil installations in the wilderness. But I don't think it takes more than common sense to know that the security guarding a 400km pipeline is not comparable to the security around a governor, let alone the president.
