https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv-jzCxv23Y The City of Maiduguri needs to be drained and thoroughly searched every single house. Just like Fallujah otherwise we would never win this insurgency/ |

There 2 ways to fight insurgency if you want to fight dirty. Fight the American way in Fallujah or fight the Russian way when Joseph Stalin deported the entire population form a district in the Caucasus to Siberia. BOTH had the required effect. The insurgency died. The Solution would be appalled all over the world today but it is effective. Can you imagine the deporting the whole population of the city of Maiduguri to the South, that was what Joseph Stalin did. |

Stalin's deportation. We must grow some balls and stop all this Ajebutter war, it is time we adopt extreme measure wherby entire troublesome population would be deported to other areas where the authorities would have a close monitor at them. Even the AMERICANS did put all Japanese Americans in CAMPS during the second world war. Stalin's Deportation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_transfer_in_the_Soviet_Union |

What is the point of having over 20,000 troops in Southern Nigeria when the NE is burning. I don't get it. ![]() |

Estimate - 85,000 active personnel (70,000 are in the army) You want to win an insurgency and you have the bulk of your soldiers in relatively peaceful places like Ibadan, Lagos, Enugu, Abeokuta, Markurdi whilst the NE Frontier with Cameroon and Chad is recklessly un manned, do we have sensible and serious military strategist planning this operation where is our priority in this country. The Key to a resounding victory is close the supply route where the bombs and ammunition are ferried into the country and all outlets out of Maiduguri. B4 long the insurgence would be trapped in Maiduguri and would invariably run out of ammunitions making them take the easier way out of give up the battle or or die in battle. |

KnowAll: Excellent ! My brother we dont have real generals anymore. Just teddyboys and politicians. I can imagine if abacha was COAS now. I tell you the first step should be to close the border, send in about 20,000 troops and lock Borno down. Comb the place continuously and do a house to house search if necessary. |

The precise number of troops in the Maiduguri theater will no doubt remain a military secret for now, but regardless of troop strength, the danger of Improvised Explosive Devices looms larger for federal troops, than do than the risks of the odd ambush or firefight with insurgents. Maiduguri is today as lethally perilous a place to walk or drive as are the remotest Taliban enclaves of Afghanistan, and, as with all urban warfare eruptions, civilians get caught in the middle and wind up massacred by both sides. The outflow of refugees from any previously urban setting is indeed an ominous harbinger of all-out war. Any intelligence or military assistance that the West can muster to Nigeria's aid right about now, to facilitate the URGENT objective of snuffing out this fundamentalist terror uprising currently sweeping the land from the north, would be ENORMOUSLY appreciated by Nigeria's peaceful majority spread south of the Niger/Benue River confluence. Wishful thinking aside, it would be downright foolhardy from a strategic standpoint, to ASSUME that the mayhem unfolding in northern Nigeria will remain localized, in a country not renowned for the effectiveness of its security and intelligence services. Anecdotal reports from early morning commuters at the Lagos end of the Ibadan Expressway describe frequent convoys of civilian trucks that arrive along that route in the pre-dawn hours, and discharge large numbers of young men carrying backpacks, before u-turning back to retrace their arrival route, while the mysterious groups of men walk on before dispersing into the peripheral shanty-towns fringing metropolitan Lagos. Coincidentally, an ENORMOUS crime wave has reportedly descended on Lagos over the past few months, with heavily armed gangs exceeding 50 in number, calmly laying siege on entire residential and commercial districts, pillaging, maiming and slaughtering with unusual brutality as they swarm civilian targets. It does not take a military strategist to discern that the suspiciously regular pre-dawn discharge of backpack-toting men on the Lagos end of the Ibadan Expressway is indeed DIRECTLY related to the sudden resurgence of violent gang-perpetrated crime all over Lagos City, and that this phenomenon is in turn organized by entities familiar with the use of both extreme and low-level insurgency to achieve political ends. In other words, the Al Queda-guided terror wave consuming Maiduguri has ALREADY extended its tentacles 400 miles southward into the very heart of Lagos, spreading primal fear as a prequel to the unthinkable. Uncle Sam, Nigeria needs your help NOW. The die is cast, the dogs of war are loose and if there is one thing Africa's most populous oil-producing nation sorely needs in a big hurry at this time, that would be a little help from her friends. |

We have forgotten what prinary role the Army should be playing in our society. We have become accustomed to seeing our Soldiers behaving in a braggadocio way in our Towns and Cities, by not paying fares and driving on the wrong side of the road if they are not killing and shooting Policemen. Now we have a war in our hands what are all those Soldiers doing in Bonny Camp, Ikeja Cantonment, Ojo Barracks and all those in the 2nd Mechanised division in Ibadan. Those lazy mofo’s should be heading North not terrorizing ‘civilians’ and ‘lastma’. |
