I have been wondering all this while and I really wish to know if we have such an efficient agency?

NIA and DSS

Yes, Nigeria Police.

that is where the issue of NIA comes from

Putting the word "intelligence" alongside the word Nigeria is a paradox.

What about IPOd?

Abba Kyari.... He is the agency.

madridguy:
Yes, Nigeria Police.

Yes. Hoodlums, Herdsmen and IPOB intelligence.

madridguy:
Yes, Nigeria Police.

The defunct E-Branch (Espionage Branch) of the Nigerian Police was so effective in sniffing out coup plots.

They were able to sniff out two Yoruba coup plots in 1961 and 1964. The one of 1964 saw Awo duly sentenced for treason.

They also warned Tafa Belewa of the Marxist coup of Jan 15, 1966 and also warned Ironsi of the Army Mutiny of July 29 of that same year!

The Nigerian Military under Murtula began undermining the Police.

The sorry state of Nigerian Police as we see it now, was as a result of a deliberate policy of under-funding by successive Military Juntas.

The idiots that populate the Nigerian Army's top echelon were very weary of a smart, intelligent police force and so they killed it.

Obasanjo will later set up the NSO (Nigerian Security Organization) after the Dimka Coup of 1976 which handled all domestic, international and military intelligence gathering.

Buhari will so abuse the powers of the NSO when he was Head-of-State that the Banbangida Military Junta will break it up into three distinct agencies, NIA (Foreign Intelligence), DMI (Military Intelligence) and DSS (Internal intelligence unit).

Yes we have. NIA. But our own hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm This is Nigeria

DSS but they are not intelligent.[color=#550000][/color]

NIA, DIA, DSS and DMI

We have The Duara (un)intelligent Agency

Well said @Imadeureadthis. You so poignantly pointed out the systematic dessimation of a once effective organization. I will have u know that as far back as the early 70s the Nigerian Police were finger printing suspects. The customs, immigration and prison service are all off-shoots of this once noble profession. My father told me and trust me, he joined in the early 50s. Was in fact in the first MoPol, Mobil 1 kaduna.

You should be tried under the law of this country.

NIA and DSS

Do they embark on covert missions like the real intelligence agencies?

DeDurch:
RSS but they are not intelligent.

What's RSS?

psucc:
Yes we have. NIA. But our own hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm This is Nigeria

You mean the one formerly headed by one Mr Ayo...?

NIA DSS.... these agencies without government interference suppose to be active . Nigerians are regarded as intelligent people and have intelligent officers but our corrupt leadership have great influences on them making our detectives passive. EFCC is clear evidence .

MrImole:

I will give you a full detailed response because I am part of the system...


1. We have the NIA ( Nigerian intelligence Agency )..
In foreign countries use the cover of staff of Nigerian ministry of foreign affairs.


2. Covert Mission...
Well the Nia does post diplomats ( I won't tag them spy's personal reason ) to foreign countries on a per rotation shift bases of like say 3-4 years and back with your family or without.
Covert mission no we don't. Truth be told the days of glory of the NIA is gone. It's just now a redundant glorified agency

MrImole:


You mean the one formerly headed by one Mr Ayo...?

Yes he meant that.

Mafialeader:
NIA, DIA, DSS and DMI

The Dss is not really Nigeria's version of the CIA. Thd is how it goes..

Nigeria = Us

NIA = CIA
DIA = DIA
DSS = SS

madridguy:
Yes, Nigeria Police.

That's the DSs. I believe you meant Nigeria secret police not Nigerian Police.

Nigerian Police is a local force. Not intelligence gathering firm..

MrImole:
I have been wondering all this while and I really wish to know if we have such an efficient agency?

Yes.. Nigeria does..


In efficiency. Well on a level ground we are not as efficient as our African friends like south Africa, Kenya.

When I was away for training I saw that we have a poblem. Money.

If we can have good leaders with no intent of corruption we could be very efficient.

The NIA does have a government interference. I can tell you first hand that the rules are ny been adhered too.

Infact a minister of the federal republic was trying / using the NIA to gather intelligence for his illicit acts... And this was approved by those in commands all for money benefits.


Nigeria is going the wrong way and that's because we have corrupt leaders... And untill there is a real wind of change I don't think we will have better economy....


A Nigerian minister should never use a foreign gathering arm of the government for his personal benefits but brother you see it's Nigeria and the president is blind to some actsas long as they are his annointed.

No objection

We have CID, SARS nd RRS

We have NIA but I doubt they are intelligent.

Lol. You funny.

Well it's now a nepotic office. No appreciation for what you do for your country in that arm anylonger.


But trust me there are some intelligent guys/ladies there.

I mean no tribal post, the arm is now a northern - northern affair.


Disclaimer: Before you accuse me of tribalism. I am Northern an know what i say/type. The NIA has been tribalised... You are a South and your riseto the top will be slow and not progressive. You are a northern and you can get 7 promotions in 2days.

The agency is now bleeped so very bleeped up. Gurl friends and Bleep buddies get office into an agency that ought to uphold the highest standard. Imagine an agency recruiting the girlfriend to a boss, and the girl happens to be a foreigner. This goes against everything the institution stands for. You can never be a foreigner and get employed into the NIA. It's part of the byelaws and this is obtainable in every government intelligence arm of other countries if same functions...



Men bro the NIA s dead and gone......

Imagine your boss knowing openly that you are been approached from foreign agencies for Infosys and they open their stupid mouth to say na side hutsle...

For real?

See let's change the topic of discussion

On a recent night journey on one of the backwater highways of this country, i saw a convoy of what can only be described as NIA. The convoy includes five trailer trucks that i have honestly never seen its type before. They have what looks like iron doors which are themselves locked with massive chains and padlocks. Infront of those trailers are about three black colored and dark tinted vehicles, same inbetween the trailers and same behind them all. I swear it looks like how the CIA does their things, it just looks so professional and foriegn than what we are used to. My thoughts at the time was maybe this is how the government moves top notch weapons across various NIA commands cuz everything about it screams intelligence agency

This is definitely an ipob concocted rubbish from Onitsha-Abakaliki expressway

You might be right on some points, but I doubt you work for NIA as claimed.
Reason; you cant work for such organisation and not know that a platform as this isnt totally faceless for you to have exposed yourself.
If not because of last election father xmas scandal and the Daura scandal in relation to Oke's case, little was known about the NIA, so they can take you out and we wont hear about it, this you should know if you truly work for them.
@op
We have NIA and jusy like any other govt agency in Nigeria, they have their inbuilt corrupt system, however, they also work effectively and efficiently when they are ready to.
