America Warned Buhari Not To Go To Niger Delta by Built2last: 11:34pm On Jun 02, 2016
Churchill Umoren writes

From what i gathered from the state department here in the US, the Niger Delta Avengers was serious about killing Buhari. It is instructive to note that the NDA had always done what they promised. No bluffs. they give the military notice of blowing oil installations, and it has been serial. Learnt the US govt with d benefit of Intel, advised the Presidency to cancel, because even if Buhari escaped, there would have been collateral damage. Also, The Avengers have cells scattered around Ogoniland run by foot soldiers. Said a source " To attack during the visit was very imminent, they operate as guerillas, so his DSS, and soldiers would have been blind sided. To harm the Nigerian President in such environment would have been easy because the soldiers have no clue, not well equipped for such, and his secret service are not trained in counter terrorism, like the FBI and US Secret Service who protect the US President. the Nigeria President is viewed as "enemy of state" in the Delta, to them he is persona non grata"

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.

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

[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]

The lethal NDA did not need to confront NA face to face to harm the president, they did not need to be in Ogoni, PH or even rivers state to get him...they well motivated, very technological and heavily funded. They now boast of surface to air missiles. This weapon of mass destruction can target the venue accurately from a neighboring state or expanse of the ND creeks. That's why they threatened that any body that walks with the president will die with him too. They have also threatened to bring down choppers.

Just wondering...does Nigerian Military have a missile defense system if the impossible were to happen - NDA launching a missile?

Assuming NDA launched a precision driven missile from a very far distance to where Buhari was supposed to be at, the question now becomes...does Nigeria military have a missile defense system to protect the president and civilians?

launching a missile . What type? Probably a manpad?? RPGs... I don't know the presidential Convoy Specification. However RPG's have limited range as it needs LOS (line of sight) in which It would be seen as the shooter range will be covered. If the person launching an RPG seems far away then it won't be able to meet its target as no guidance system will direct it to a moving target.

....again in a threat area military helicopters will be available to provide cover as they are also equipped with Anti SAM ECM.

No one should tell me a terrorist has a missile capable of destroying a neighboring state again... bro Nigerians ain't illiterate and not al of us are back ward technologically.. do you know what it means to shoot a missile to a neighboring state? ISIS can't boast of a Missile with 20km range and you are talking of NDA.. and for a long range missile a fire control radar is needed sir... so please cut that...

You are obviously naive...very naive when it comes to missiles, rockets and defense systems. I clearly said "precision driven/guided missile", and you begin your rambling...asking about what type, specification and nonsense! Talking about "RPG"...my friend RPG is a rocket not a precision-guided munition used by small boys/boko haram.. A precision driven munition can be launched from Ogun state to hit a target in Ogoni....okay! You also rambled about military helicopters providing cover against missile? Oh lord.

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.

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

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.

If the president is sick as you alleged, can't they just inform us so we begin to pray for his recovery?

They shouldn't hide him like they did to Yaradua. Everyone will fall sick as some point. Buhari is a human being like all of us.

The APC and its supporters saw how the country was engulfed in crisis during Yaradua's sickness, they should spare us of these troubles. We should have learnt one or two things from that unfortunate episode.

The NDAs know the implication of assassinating a president in a country like this where human rights violation knows no bound. Some soldiers were killed in Odi, Bayelsa state, some years ago, the repercussion was many lives wasted by the Nigerian army. Assassinating the president will spell doom for the entire Niger-Delta region.


I believe the NDAs were just bluffing, using psychological warfare in gaining relevance.
