idupaul: Actually the army is at fault, if there were planning on sending our troops over there, the public is meant to be aware as standard procedures practiced in other countries. Premium times were only doing their job. If the army was planning a secret operation, they shouldnt have been sending out memos. 3 Likes |

Mujaheeeden: People will soon call them pro-APC or pro-PDP when the publish anything against a politician you love, the same way people praise sowore when he publishes against Aisha Buhari but lash him when his news is against Jonathan. |

I don't think this oublication by Premium Times s in the National interest. Military operations are meant to be secret |

We must send troops and more importantly we must ensure Senegal isn't given leadership of the ecomog force Good development |

The publisher must be very careful about the military. Military actions are built on suprises and not meant for public debate. |

abouzaid: But if Ghana raises a force or even Senegal and thus increases their influence in the west african subregion people like u will complain when the 'side effects' occur This is regional politics, if u observed you'd know why Ghanaian president(b4 he left office) was also part of the mediation team. So unless nigeria wants to shirk it's responsibilities as a regional leader and hand over to ghana/senegal then we must send troops. |

frenchwine:Let's assume it is true that the military is preparing men for Gambia (I personally believe it is), do you think it is a wise or sensible thing for PT to make it public?... especially when it is clear even from your story above that the military wants it kept secret? |

Icecomrade: Seriously, what do Nigerians want. From the look of things, PMB is soliciting for Jammeh to handover before there is need for an imminent war but if issues get bad, there need be a plan on ground; hence the preparation of the Army battalion that will be sent. This spells what is called a covert operation in the army which should have been clarified by Premium Times before spilling the beans. If President Jammeh takes the cue like Idi Amin of Uganda and start keeping hostages now from the Nigerian in Gambia, people like you will still blame the government of being weak and not proactive. By the way, how many people did Obama involve or how many news media did they consult when the US government went after Osama Bin Laden; to get the best out of covert actions, never let them see you coming. |

Emekamex:Without sending out memos?... How is message supposed to be shared within the military organisation if not through signals (memos)? Even the most secretive secret service of the almighty US, a cyber rat (wikileaks) could intercept their memos, let alone Nigeria. |

chronique: I tire for Nigerians. We are very quick to condemn the US for meddling in the politics of other nations but here we are supporting our government. Things like this must be discussed by the NASS before decisions are taken. We don't have the funds to start and run that kind of operation. It's not as if we are going there to assassinate the President, we are going to keep peace so there's nothing to hide there. 3 Likes |

SmartMugu:At the point in time I think there is need to strike fear in the heart of P Jammeh by sending a very clear and strong msg to the buffoon. P jAmmeh needs to know that, while leaders re eager for a diplomatic and peaceful resolution and handover, they will not hesitate to take deliberate steps and actions against him if diplomacy fails. |
Re: Documents Counter Nigerian Army Denial Of Planned Deployment Of Troops In Gambia by Emekamex(m): 8:33am On Jan 14, 2017 |
obailala: Wikileaks didnt intercept any memo, Snowden, a rogue CIA agent leaked secret information which the various US media carried notwithstanding it could hurt their country. My point being you shouldnt blame the media for publishing leaked information, the blame should be on those who actually leaked it to the media. As in our case, the army should be blamed. |

chronique: You know nothing about international politics and even our regional ecowas politics. Do you know we've gone into countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali etc? Do you know that for a very long time time our POLICE was stationed in Somalia and they just came home? You think when they call us a regional power house its for play? As for your US can't deploy, Lool really? A simple Google search will tell you that's false. NB: If you think our economy is still bad with everything you've seen then people like you are the reason government lies to us. |
Re: Documents Counter Nigerian Army Denial Of Planned Deployment Of Troops In Gambia by perfectgen(m): 8:41am On Jan 14, 2017 |
Emekamex: They will surely let the public know when they are sending them. For now, they are only preparing the troop for an expected course of action which the President is also trying to avoid by visiting Jammeh and trying to let him handover, so let us be patient and not jump the gun. |

Re: Documents Counter Nigerian Army Denial Of Planned Deployment Of Troops In Gambia by SmartMugu: 8:42am On Jan 14, 2017 |
NOETHNICITY:Obviously Jammeh needs to expect other nations to rise against him. Ecowas is made up of several countries and the body is interested in him stepping down. Why Nigerian military plots is being potentially exposed is what baffles me. Senegal that is so close to Gambia must have their back up plans too, but their plots are guarded like it should be. Other countries outside Africa are also interested in Jammeh's ordeal as well, yet no media from there is sharing any military plans. Why one from Nigeria? How did this news even get out if not that some military personnel gained some financial rewards for divulging top-secret information to the public through a media outlet? Such people need to be fished out from the military. |
Re: Documents Counter Nigerian Army Denial Of Planned Deployment Of Troops In Gambia by LoveThemChubby(m): 8:42am On Jan 14, 2017 |
I think the Nigerian press and public needs to be gagged. We are not ripe for press freedom yet. A military operation is secret and we are here taking pride in breaking the story. Do we have any idea the number of Nigerian lives in Gambia that will be at risk by this stupid act? |
Re: Documents Counter Nigerian Army Denial Of Planned Deployment Of Troops In Gambia by Mobsync(m): 8:44am On Jan 14, 2017 |
In the first thread where the Nigerian army denied plans to send troops to Gambia, I said: As usual. Premium Times would make an allegation, army HQ would deny it, Premium Times would give evidence (usually a video) supporting their allegation, army HQ would send them a cease and desist letter threatening legal action and Premium Times would give them a straight middle fingered reply.https://www.nairaland.com/3569650/fg-not-sending-troops-gambia#52763568 Now, here it is. The Nigerian army and Premium Times saga can best be compared to Tom and Jerry or Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. Everyone knows how they'll end but they watch it for the fun. 1 Like |

Folksyharry: Do you realise that important seat at the UN is still up for grabs? Have you forgotten we have spearheaded virtually all ecomog missions? Because of the open borders do you realise what instability can do to the region? There are books on regional economics and politics for free, pick it up and read. |

The Document seen by Premium Times, Key word SEEN . After seeing the document they cant publish it ,they best thing they can do is to retype it.Even at that ,military operation has protocols,we cant expect them to report all information to the masses .In a matter of days we will witness Jan 19. |

The Nigerian military high command made a mistake by responding to PTs publication about d deployment. You don't respond to issues like this, especially when you know there's an element of truth in it. By responding you added weight to the report and jeopardized the Gambian Operations. |

Imagine calling Sowore a fraudster and gloating over his being harassed.The same thing PT is doing today is what SR pioneered.SR maynot be accurate all d time,but If not for the medium and his SR,this country wud av long been sold to the dogs. I am just waiting for d nitwit to enter my mentions again with his imbecilic posts. |
