this man almost killed me with laughter lol. hahaha. oh man.
if i be president, na that kind responsibility i go delegate to my VP lol

SamuelAnyawu:
You wan send Buhari go frontline? Please we only need UK visits

You are now saying Chad is a colony and not independent? okay.
comparing crimea/Russia or US /Alaska. these are different scenarios. Alaska was purchased, the crimea and the soviets have their own history.
I didnt know chad share border with france, or darn, how did African countries managed to gain their independence fro. the all powerful West.
don't fall for mirage and take control of your own destiny. until we do that, we will keep kneeling in front of these fools. There are countries and leaders that went against the west and survived it. its nothing new. The consequences might be dire, but atleast they aren't beholden to any foreign power.
you belittle the strength of the continent because you have no faith in it, france is movable, so chad is poor, and that's an excuse for subjugation? its their land, their independent territory. Not France's. sentiments or not.
I don't know much about military stuff, but politics and optics, i know quite a bit. Compare Assad to Ghadafi, one was calm and collected, the other was insane, to the point of threatening to level tripoli than to see it fall. That was a critical error he made in his messaging and the West used that against him. oh he's about to kill everyone in tripoli, he has to be stopped. Gotta control your messaging and temperament

kabe1:
Brother, let's call a spade, a spade.

Chad is not a sovereign nation, we need to get this first.

France militarily intervened in Chad since the war with Nigeria, Libya, and the rebels that have come before these.

Politically speaking, not even a miracle will save Chad from the firm grip of France.

First, Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world.

Chad has one of the world's worst illiteracy rates.

Chad is not rich in valuable minerals.

Chad is a strategic military/security buffer for France.

What you're saying is similar to asking the UK to leave the Falklands, Gibraltar, or Russia leaving Crimea or America leaving Hawaii or Alaska.

It's just not possible.

There you go. it's all about the messaging. lobby chinese vocal support, Russia etc, there's literally nothing france can do to overide the entire wishes of a continent and support from some other big countries. messaging matters, and showing the capacity to get the job done is also critical such scenario. France isn't some all powerful entity. There are limits, and the world still have rules that Govern it

Litmus:
He is essentially arguing for Chadians to assert themselves over France's colonial control perhaps with the aid of AU.

Well now they can say he died a hero, for Chad.
wouldn't it be nice if these weaklings who call themselves leaders actually lead battles, we'd have fewer wars

Odunayaw:
Tah, I doubt it was "hot zone" that killed him abeg

That's your opinion. All good
talking about capacity and structural integrity. Haven't such deployment happen before? smh. we act like when it comes down to it we wouldn't do the needful. so what if there was no france, we fold our arms and allow terrorists run amock? the capacity is there, the will isn't.
And i don't recall saying the AU should deploy soldiers. I was talking about authorization for ecowas deployment into chad.

kabe1:
The AU that couldn't deploy in Mali to fight terrorists.

There is no amount of assertiveness that can replace capacity and structural integrity.

Right? it only take one opportunity. And that leader is gone.

youghs:
I pray Gov. Zulum learns from this

Like i stated, not as simple as i put it. sure they could, which is why he wouldn't just sit on a throne all relaxed. loyalty can be bought, he would have lots of work to do to stay in power in my hypothetical scenario.

youghs:
I hope you know they can easily remove him from power through his own soldiers

Nah. they choose their self interest over democracy. All day, everyday.
These fvkers are nothing but hypocrites?
china vs Cuba comes to mind.
Or Saudi Arabia. The coup in Egypt etc. Nigeria need a backer. if not for Russia (yes they have their own interest too) Assad would be dead or in prison by now. Had Assad been their Ally on the other hand, they would support him, they will look the other way once they get a base on Syrian soil

lebuhsi:
It's really funny because just this morning, I was talking to someone about how foreign interest(The US and France) choose political stability over democracy, especially in Francophone countries, and how democratisation Should be a long term process as opposed to a short term one especially in countries with histories of autocracy.

Deby's son, Zakaria certain doesn't have the support his father had, and Militias and Jihadis would be certain to exploit this vacuum, we have a Libya situation on our hands guys.

Expect Zakaria in Abuja in the coming weeks and months.

Defence agencies should certainly be on the toes at the moment.

The current Director-General of the NIA was stationed in Chad before he was recalled to head the agency, so he has background knowledge and experience.

Tumultous times ahead.

if there's a need to intervene in chad, we can go thru the AU, its all about audacity and actually having a spine, clarify your objectives and reasons for such deployment. if the AU and Ecowas approves deployment into chad, with the support of the chadian Govt, , France can not stop it. this is the problem black people keep having, we put ourselves down and put these westerners on a pedestal. call their bluff, as long as you aren't committing atrocities, there's nothing france or the west can do to stop such deployment. All they need is an excuse, take that away from them by doing things right, and their opinion become irrelevant.
you wouldn't know until you try.
Our problem in Sub-Saharan Africa is our lack of assertiveness. what a shame.

bro, this is politics, end of they day they will bribe him with their support. but to say he can not? fvk yea he can. question is, is he willing to face the consequence. its still a sovereign nation.
Not saying it's as simple as I'm putting it. but if he want them out, he can ask them to leave, its their right, and when this blows all over the world, france gets labeled a colonizer and downhill it goes from there. lots of these countries try to protect their image, that's why backroom deals happen, without the general public knowing what's going on

kabe1:
Lol, he cannot.

if he becomes the President and want to send france packing, he can. And there's no darn thing france can do to him. only way they can retaliate is via economic sabotage. The world has changed, sure france have deep reach over there, but it's not absolute. sbeet. France's reputation can be easily ruined if they make unpopular move, and all it takes is a few strokes on a keyboard. The world is more sensitive than before.
Only reason he might be unable to if he wanted would be if they have some sort of agreements in place, And I'm talking about french military presence in the region. Chad isn't powerless, only risk i see for them in my scenario is economic

the problems will subside when we stop electing clueless idiots into office and carry out overdue reforms. Until then, enjoy those dusty filthy streets and constant power outages, amongst many other ailments in naija. Its literally not rocket science to build a prosperous nation, many others have done it. Issue is, just like in the military, Nigeria as a nation refuse to learn and adapt. it's weird.

youghs:
Sometimes you just wonder who we offended in Nigeria. Problems from left to right to east to north to west to south.

Yup. dead. the man often go to hot zones, admirable, but reckless. Now his 37yr old son will take over, why the fvk is that. A four star general haha. guess they might have him there for another 30yrs too. smh
Africa

I think here in the US they pay deployed soldiers what they call "Hazard Pay", i could be wrong though. but I've heard it somewhere before.

SamuelAnyawu:
I think the Military needs to give a different Salary package to Soldiers serving in Borno North and Deep Borno central.

Soldiers around Ngala, Woulgo, Mallam Fatori, Logomani, Dikwa, Marte, Monguno, Kala Balge, Kirenowa, Kukawa, Damasak, I don’t know if Soldiers are still in Kareto, make I add Gubio and Magumeri?


Soldiers in my axis just Dey rest I swear

Based on some random person's tweet? Do you know who that person is? Their source of information? How una just dey believe anything spewed by random people online is so adorable , not in a funny way. Not saying the man is lying or not. But me no go react on unverified info

yoged:
We are not ready to defeat this people I swear .

Curious as to why you quote me on this.
And where did you get this rumor from? if people have such info, then at least the name of this minister should also be stated. Or you forgot his name?

Jakpon:
A federal minister has been seen in a series of viral videos supporting Jihadi groups like Alqaeda and Taliban, praising Osama bin Laden, and claiming to always find joy in the killing of non Muslims by Islamic terrorists. In another video, he was crying while preaching in a mosque, cursing former president Goodluck Jonathan for killing Boko Haram fighters.


There has been an avalanche of support for this minister both online and offline by his Northern brothers. They see nothing wrong with his extremist proclivity, infact they are in sync with it. This same Northerners were vocal in their support for a certain Sheikh who knows the hideouts and has the contacts of all the so called bandits in Nigeria, a Sheikh who enjoined bandits to primarily target Christian soldiers in their attacks.

The seed of Boko Haram, ISWAP, Fulani Bandits etc, was not planted in the North yesterday. It was not planted a decade ago, it's been a long while, and it's being carefully nurtured by the Northern elites and their ignorant masses.

Every time i hear about violence, it's often in the North, why is that

I honestly felt like strapping a few C4's on those cops and trigger it.
I mean, c'mon, what the actual fvk? If i were that guy i'd be nervous, these motherfvkers would kill for money. This is too sad. I hope he's jailed, then use his story as part of the training in whatever academy these A-holes graduate from.
Cops that can't even turn on a computer lol, are they the ones who would know how to read a fvking map.
So disappointing . Some blatant sh!t right there.
This is why i keep saying the media have a very powerful role to play here, imagine most media outlets in Nigeria broadcasting this for a few days, in every segment. I'm sure those in the higher ups will take notice and actually respond to it. You have to shame these bastards continuously

DubaiLandLord:
Nigerian Policeman caught on camera requesting bribe from a Spanish man currently on world tour with his bike

And the war would be won because of this one commander i keep hearing about? A country of over 200 million souls, pinning it's hope on one man.
What happens (God forbid) if that one man get killed in action? We stop fighting war on terror?
Naija, be creative.

x

That's my point. be creative. Bh and Iswap didn't become this overnight. The Nigerian state allowed them the room to grow and multiply.
Any security conscious country wouldn't have allowed this. we keep beating our chests while our citizens are busy running for their lives and seeking refuge in Niger etc.
we failed. not saying the soldiers aren't doing what they can, it's the leadership i have issues with.
And to the hot tempered fool above, people don't have to be soldiers to have an opinion or criticize. Its their right to express their disappointment.
I sometimes criticize because its annoying how these fools are still out there roaming about. i wish them all dead

Covert1:
Quite simplistic, ISWAP are skilled fighters willing to die and know the antics of war followed on the heels by BHTs. Everything in the book of CT/COIN has been tried on these rampaging islamafascists terrorists including snakes but they have proven adaptive and innovative. Fighting them on their terms is suicide which is one of their modus operandi. To defeat this mortal enemy you must be creative & do the unthinkable in the art of war.

The Nigerian military as a modern, professional and superior fighting force should be choosing the place and timing of well planned combat not the terrorists hence you keep playing into their hands and expending precious men and material.

that write up gave me a chuckle.
Enemy holding territory on home soil, constantly taking the fight to our troops. something is wrong somewhere. if only we have the mentality of the Israelis, these sort of nonsense wouldn't have happened. by now all of bh would have died eating something laced with poison
Those guys don't joke with anything that threatens their security

playing defense on home soil. all these repelling. must be tiring

its a battle of Will.

beylinko02:
At this point i have to comment on this thread though i had been an onlooker.
sometimes i wonder what motivate these bastards so much that they keep attacking damasak. As a matter of urgency, the military have to take the war to iSWAP OR DAMASAK willl fall

Abi, me just dey look out for the man and him friend now, na so he catch fire and replied with insult. Wetin man go do but watch.

GeneralFarouq:
That was where my thoughts went.
U fit work for intelligence unit oo

wow, use my sense huh? sorry sir. carry on.

JOSCOFELIX:
and you think i will mention the real place he was shot. oboy i am not a kid use your sense and by the way he not a military officer

Now all the military have to do is look for a soldier who got shot in the hand a few days ago and punish him for divulging military information to you.
some things you keep private. so it doesn't lead back to him

JOSCOFELIX:
they serious exchange of gunfire. my guy who give me updatd was wounded in the last attack. he was shot on is letf hand

Is there a reason you continue to disrespect this man? What's your problem, act mature and stop this childish nonsense.
