History:

Originally, the Police Special Branch (E Department) was the main intelligence agency in Nigeria.

The Special Branch failed to detect the Dimka Coup of 1976, so it was felt that a change was needed. The government created the Nigerian Security Organisation (NSO).

It was felt that the NSO was used by the Buhari Regime to oppress Nigerians (Ambassador Rafindadi), so General Babangida promised, in his coup speech, to change and reform the organisation. He subsequently broke up the NSO into the SSS, NIA and DIA.

Foreign espionage. Our version of the US CIA or UK's MI-6


crackhaus: What exactly is the job description of the NIA, and why is an ambassador with no experience in military, logistics or intelligence being made its DG
Re: Ayo Oke Appointed As DG of National Intelligence Agency by ocelot2006(m): 11:18am On Nov 08, 2013
naptu2: The tripod: -

State Security Service (SSS): Domestic intelligence (within Nigeria).

National Intelligence Agency (NIA): External intelligence (outside Nigeria)

Defence Intelligence Agency (comprised of DMI, DNI, DAI): military intelligence.

The SSS is supervised by the office of the National Security Adviser, while the NIA is supervised by the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

Wrong. The NIA is supervised by the Office of the NSA and recieves it's funding from there, not the Foreign service. It is also a member of the Joint Intelligence Board were intelligence is collated and analysed before being forwarded via the NSA to the National Security Council. The ministry of foreign affairs is basically used as a cover.

Oh please zip it!! Enough of this tribalism!! A yoruba man is the DG, so freaking what?!! An igbo man is the Director of Operations. THAT is the true HEART and SOUL of Nigeria's most secretive intelligence agency that must be supervised by a true seasoned professional.

Do you really think it's easy passing thru the foreign service school and rising up to the position of Ambassador?

It was the practice during the Cold War, that diplomatic missions would have a "Cultural Attache".

So, let's say that the Cultural Attache at the US Embassy in Moscow is Mr X. Would it be right to say that Mr X is not the Cultural Attache, he is the resident CIA officer?

No it's not. the CIA's DCI and the higher Director-National Intelligence post is kinda political also filled with technocrats. The true heart is the position of the Director-National Clandestine Service and Director-Intelligence. Same applies to Nigeria's NIA. While the DG's office may be filled by someone from the Foreign service (just like Mi-6), our true focus must be on the office of the Director-Operations.

Are ambassadors not appointed based on political favours and/or affiliations? So what's up with this Foreign Service School you speak of...

Did Bianca Ojukwu also go through this Foreign Service School before becoming an ambassador, or am I missing something
