The Islamic Republic of Iran Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Mohammad Alibak has said Iran is ready to help Nigeria end terrorism.

Speaking in an interview with Nigeria Tribune, on Monday, the diplomat noted that his country is disturbed with the insecurity challenges bedevilling the country.

To this end, he posited that “if Nigeria is willing to cooperate, we can help to end terrorism in the country.”

He said, “the Islamic Republic of Iran has gained valuable experience in this field due to its long-term fight, against terrorism.

“From the beginning of the formation of ISIS in the region by the US terrorist government, Late General Qassem Soleimani has been at the forefront of the fight against this group, and without any expectations, he shared his experiences in the fight against insecurity with the countries of the region.

“The principled policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is always to share such experiences with countries involved in insecurity.

“For this reason, we have had various meetings with Nigerian officials and have always expressed our readiness to cooperate on security issues.”

Speaking on the one year anniversary of the murder of late General Soleimani who was killed by the Americans during an official visit to Iraq, Ambassador Alibak he said the late General Soleimani travelled to Baghdad for an official engagement.

“He was carrying a political message to bring peace to the region. The message was supposed to be delivered to Saudi officials through Iraq.

“In fact, in addition to mastering military affairs, Soleimani was diligent in the field of diplomacy and peacekeeping, and in reducing tensions and expanding friendships in the region.

“Unfortunately, the US government violated the national sovereignty of Iraq by assassinating a foreign official, within the sovereignty of Iraq, which is completely, an illegal act and in violation of international law and regulations.

“The assassination of the counter-terrorism expert, General Soleimani, was no doubt meant to weaken Iran’s determination to rid the region of the artificial crises imposed on it by the United States and its allies.

“But, instead of this dastardly act to weaken the Islamic Republic of Iran, it strengthened its resolve in the fight against this proxy army.”

They will not accept it at all having made terrorist untourchable in nigeria as they kill freely without challenge.

Nigeria or the North

They will know how to negotiate with their terrorist brothers in the North better.

Say that again

"Palmoil is ready to help groundnut oil end margarine"

Buhari will kuku agree....

They want to add fuel in the fire

This must be a JOKE

If they ever agree, make I wear cloth bath for bathroom

A real joke.....maybe for the northern people..

Can any good come out from Islamabad nations

This is a bait. Nigeria, dare not!

A fight against Boko Haram is a fight against the North

Hehehehe..

Never

Have they finish with their own?

How will terrorism end when Politicians are cashing out heavily

I will give the Pros and Cons of an agreement such as this.

Pros:

If Iran gets into this fight they wouldn't spare BH, and every other terrorist group because they are linked to the Sunnis. Expect the fight to have a religious look but I think the Iranians will deliver.

Cons

Nigeria will fall out of favor with the West, and this will mean less aid for Nigeria.

If Nigeria wants along term partner, they should forget the West and look in the direction of Iran, India, and China. If Nigeria and the aforementioned countries can be on par or even close to each other in terms of development and military might, then we would be feared and respected by the world. This is a really good move from Tehran.

see people wey dey promote terrorists organization won help us stop am for naija here. .wonders shall never end!

Iran or what? Iran the nuclear bandits. You had better mind una business, no be your fault, na the present administration esp mr president dey relate with you

I laugh if you think Iran would help stop jihad.

They don't have a problem with Boko Haram they just looking for a cheap avenue to fortify their shities brethen

And you've just answered the question. BH is the only terrorist group ravaging Nigeria, so if they settle their score with BH then we are free from terrorism, or is there any other terrorist group I don't know of that exists in Nigeria?

longetivity:
Nigeria or the North

See question...

Na south

Nice analysis, but Iran isn't the perfect partner we need ATM, we have a fragile economy, any little sanction from the west might put us in a very bad state, example is Lebanon. Allowing Iran into our space will send a wrong signal.

And besides, they are not interested in what really goes on in Africa, their major goal is to dominate the middle East.

We can learn a two from them... admire their scientific growth despite the many challenges and also how they kept nepotism far away from important sectors e.g military/defense.

@bolded, China might not be the perfect partner also, topic for another day. I wish we look more inwardly whilst keeping an open relationship with everyone.

Hehehehe....this must be a joke.

Hehehe.. joke of the decade.

To end bokoharam in Nigeria is to end the present govt of Nigeria. There's no two ways about it.

If they are prepared to get to d root of d problem by uprooting ds govt, then they can talk.

Shia Iran will gladly crush Sunni terrorists. I dont get why this is hard for people to understand. They were doing good job killing these same type of terrorists in Syria.

I tell you
Iran hate ISIS
