..plz explain better where are we now as a nation that Jonathan caused?
(1) How many billions of Naira went missing during Jonathan Regime?
(2) Jonathan made us to depend solemnly on Oil waving out the Agricultural sector (there was allocation made for it then but it was embezzled under his watch)
(3) Name one tangible project that was completed here (Niger Delta) during his regime.
(4) the billions of Naira embezzled under his watch would have been used for so many projects in the country which you would have benefited too.
(6) He supported corruption as a leaderleader with his famous quote "Corruption is not a crime"

Hogwash report and an attempt by the British to take glory. Nothing more, nothing less.

Apart from the Iranian embassy rescue, the British themselves do not have any proven record of a rescuing hostages from anywhere. On the other hand, the Nigerian military has rescued nearly 10,000 hostages, and proven.

So who is supposed to assist who in hostage rescue?

The operation to freed the British and Italian hostages was a disaster because of the participation of the British. If it had been a purely Nigerian ochrestrated operation like we had proven in other operations prior to that of the British and Italian, it would have been a success.

The British "Spy" aircraft broke down in Senegal on it's way to Nigeria, that report as expected tactfully removed this part.



Don't even say that
Google SAS rescue missions and read what comes up
The SAS are the most elite armed force in the world constantly ranked higher than the US navy seals.

boostdom:
Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal. With the benefit of hindsight, we can begin to examine this case more objectively.

The Governor of Borno state-Shettima, ignored security reports and counsels from the Federal Govt and WAEC about possible security threat and why the exam should not hold particularly in Chibok. WAEC have shown the correspondences to this fact. But this man as the Chief Security Officer ignored these warnings and promised security for the girls. He betrayed the girls by failing to heed warnings and by allowing the exam proceed without security. He was a serving Governor and couldn't be prosecuted. https://www.thecable.ng/shettima-set-chibok-girls-says-fani-kayode

Now, this same man rather than communicate with the higher ups about the kidnap decided to keep quiet. His reasoning? He believed the President would have been briefed. By whom? By security agencies OUTSIDE his state. Or perhaps he was waiting for the President to call him first. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/201163-i-not-call-jonathan-chibok-girls-abducted-boko-haram-borno-governor-shettima.html

Based on this lethargy from the CSO of the state, it would be rational to assume probable cause for the President to proceed cautiously. It is pertinent to point out that coincidentally, the Governor was from the opposition party.

The agreement signed with the US, UK and France was for them to provide additional intelligence services and platform and the Nigerian security services will handle the intrusion. But these countries, particularly the UK didn't want that. They cited Nigerian military human rights record and wouldn't even provide the required platform. According to a former British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr Andrew Pocock disclosed that both the British and United States governments knew where some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram members were but refused to help or share that information. http://dailypost.ng/2016/03/21/uk-us-governments-knew-location-of-chibok-girls-but-refused-to-rescue-them-ex-british-high-commissioner/

As much as this was an emotional issue, it was also one of national importance. It's hard trusting your partners if they won't keep their end of a treaty, won't provide platform and additional intelligence service and glaring refusal to rescue when they had the chance.

Telling such blatant lies even on a sunday??

Regarding your first point which is just an allegation made by Femi Fani KAyode, an irresponsible loud-mouth who nobody takes serious, this is what he actually said:
“The governor must give account to God and to the Nigerian people for what he has done to those girls. We are accusing him of being responsible for the abduction of the Chibok girls because he was warned by the federal government and by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) not to allow the examination take place in Chibok"

Yet you have insinuated that the federal government did not know about the security situation.

Regarding your second lie, that the US, UK refused to act or share the information they had, this is what the article in the link you posted really says:

“A couple of months after the kidnapping, fly-bys and an American eye in the sky spotted a group of up to 80 girls in a particular spot in the Sambisa forest, around a very large tree, called locally the Tree of Life, along with evidence of vehicular movement and a large encampment.

“A land-based attack would have been seen coming miles away and the girls killed, an air-based rescue, such as flying in helicopters or Hercules, would have required large numbers and meant a significant risk to the rescuers and even more so to the girls.

“You might have rescued a few but many would have been killed. My personal fear was always about the girls not in that encampment — 80 were there, but 250 were taken, so the bulk were not there. What would have happened to them? You were damned if you do and damned if you don’t.”


You are such a piece of work. The article never once even hints at anyone refusing to share intel. I dare you to produce the text where such is stated! Further, it is clear that there was no refusal to act, but rather an inability to do so at that specific point in time.

Liar!!

Oyibo still campaigning for their ATM - Nigeria.
Whenever Aboki is in power, Oyibo draws crude oil hardly unaccounted for, pays peanuts to Aboki government.


Since Buhari became president, why has Oyibo not come with their magic armed forces to free the Chibok girls?

the war that's difficult to fight is confusion

these northerners are the problem of their selves not GEJ on this issue of BH

there are religious violence syndrome shud even tell u they are incurable of war mentality

over ambition of second term was what made GEJ loose woefully to this BH because if not for the second term ambition, he would have step on some toes and heaven will not fall


this is why I don't see him as HERO, as they do called him. he took his ambition over Nigerians and here we are today still curbing the escalation of this BH incessant war

Just laughable when we all want to forget what transpired before and after the chibok girls kidnap.
It was all over the news, how the Hausa/ Fulani elites did all they could to make sure that GEJ didn't use strong force in the North East War theatre.
Let's keep blaming GEJ till the end.

These colonial masters need to tell their northern Nigeria Muslims to stop mixing politics with religion.

[b][b]In fact Jonathan earned my respect.

The decision to allow our army and military lead the operations while limiting the US, British participation to logistics, training and information was spot on.

Jonathan did not defeat the BH because 90% of the military and political holders were tools of the opposition and sympathetic to their cause, plus they knew it was their ticket to Aso Rock.

To the extent that mutiny was at its peak, even outright desertion was common; something never heard of in Nigeria military.

Additionally, leaked tactical formation, military strategy and weapon route was openly divulge, in some cases by some dishonest news daily and snitches.

The facts, now history for review purpose, are all there to see.

Soldiers abandoning post, relinquishing military arms and hardware to BH was oft the case.

Well done sir, you failed to win the war against BH but you left with your integrity, because, for to win the rescue of the Chibok girls with British boots on ground is to surrender your sovereignty to a foreign power. To put your military under foreign country command is to simply write off your military strength.

It is to subject the country to international ridicule and flat line butt joke of other countries.

Lastly, it also portends danger for the country as other country will see it as weakness and opportunity to attack at will.

You did your best CO....you will have your time to tell your BH story the way it really happened. [/b][/b]

Insider Sabotage in Nigeria Army led to prolongation of Boko Haram violence.

Soldiers with same religious aspirations with Boko Haram for a country, perhaps Nigeria, to be governed with Islamic sharia criminal codes, sabotaged Nigeria's soldiers fighting Boko Haram then.

As soon as Buhari became president, the sabotage decreased.

Buhari pledged to ensure that Islamic sharia criminal codes are used in all of Nigeria.
