Is it just me, or have anyone else noticed Western countries and their militaries are running a massive propaganda campaign with regards to the evacuation flights we are seeing.

Clarissa Ward is chasing the Oscar awards with the way she's acting the script.

I just miss S.B Abubakar anyhow these days. These new CAS isn't awe inspiring at all. In fact none of the new service chiefs are. Ibrahim Attahiru of blessed memory was also awesome, especially with that order to recapture Marte and clear the general area within 48hrs. L.E.O Irabor is definitely the right man for his job, far better than Abayomi Olonisakin but still not as charismatic as S.B Abubakar. I really miss that man

Coolliot:


Take it back how exactly? Strategically how?

Npf, should have a qrf unit that follows actionable intelligence in real time, imagine the amount of bandits that would have been gotten, instead of this quick gain. It's like the political attention and media attention is higher than logic for bigger gains.

DubaiLandLord1:
The NPF is filled with dull people like Abba Kyari. You catch person with that kin ammo, e tell una say the rest of him gang members don reach Jos, instead of using him to trace and catch his other gang members, una first show am to the world and let us know say investigation they go on to catch the rest of his gang members

The normal Media show
I think the government should hire KPMG or PWC as our recruitment consultants into most of our security apparatus.

RiceProducers:


This is a clueless post. What's charisma?. How old are you posting this nonsense, dwelling on personalities and personal styles instead of looking at the strategy and plans which as not changed.
Optics is everything to the amateur.

Coolliot:


Hey samuel, have you been seeing the super tucano or the jf 17 in action in the north east , maybe fly by of hear gist from soldiers.
I really think these new platforms haven't been used, and the BHT surrendering isn't really because of military pressure instead internal bht political fallout, so the decamping to government.

What's your view on all this issues, considering that you are almost in the centre of the storm.

SamuelAnyawu:


The surrendering is just an internal fracas, tho my concern remains not seeing those surrendering with weaponry . As at a week ago the Airforce guys I chilled with said the Super Tucanos have not arrived Maiduguri.

Tho I’ll still get much info today as Sunday is our regular sit out.

I still Dey Maiduguri, hopefully I’ll get back to my Dambisa zone next.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't have replied you because your motive was to insult but there are things to learn from the post.

The post was totally about personalities as it is very apparent, I made no mention of strategy and plans so I do not know why you are attacking me. If you are not comfortable with some post, try to ignore once in a while, especially mine.

Meanwhile, personalities of leaders and officers also has a lot of effect on the outcome of battles and wars. Especially in relations to boosting the morale of troops which increases the effectiveness of any fighting force.
The high morale of troops was very palpable during the time of late Attahiru as COAS with many soldiers hailing him as a warrior and one who empathize with Frontline troops and who is willing to end the war unlike many of his predecessors who soldiers thought were profiting from the insurgency. This resulted into victories such as recapturing marte and environs within 48hrs.

Not too long ago, we saw videos of troops abandoning their positions and fleeing with civilians because they weren't ready to die for what they feel is as a result of some people's selfish interests. Some even went as far as attacking their officers.

Charisma is when you do almost the same thing as your predecessors yet the troops are willing to take your excuses and endure your failures while they took it against your predecessors.
Optics play an important role in winning battles when the troops feel you are also willing to lay down your own life for the same purpose as them and you understand what they are going through and willing to improve things.
More importantly, personality play an important role when the troops believe you are one of theirs and you are trying all your best in pursuit of their interests.

The president not attending the burial of his chief of army staff has also made many soldiers believe he doesn't care whether they live or die, that is also optics.


In summary, there is what is called Psychological warfare that deals with the mental emotional and behavioral characteristics of troops, enemies and people at large and it is aimed at manipulating the behaviors and attitudes of those targeted in a way that will be favorable to the originators objectives. Personality and optics play very important roles in this.

We need to learn to think in terms of institutional core competences, capabilities, processes, standards and their maturity instead of personalities.

I find that we 3rd World countries are reluctant to grow out öf this mindset that glorifies persons instead of teams and institutions. The result is stagnation especially for a technical arm of our security architecture ühere systems and processes are everything
