SamuelAnyawu: Yes the combat theater of Borno generally is a risky place as troops conduct CT/COIN operations but I think if the President of Nigeria wants to visit he will visit but at an enormous cost of moving men and materials in place. He has visited Maiduguri. So was Jonathan before. About N'djamena I think there's more than meets the eye and it's not about security but President Buhari's absence is symbolic to say the least and does not match his eulogy of Idris Deby Itno who committed his troops to the Boko haram war. 2 Likes |

JOSCOFELIX: Sounds a lot like conspiracy theories. France appear to lose with Deby's death but it raises a whole lot of questions why didn't they intervene and allow Deby to go to the front if those reports are true, why would they when they could easily halt the advancing rebel column with precision strikes. It might be a game of cards to complicate matters for Abuja in the war or Abuja knows something and would prefer a new leadership in N'djamena. Niger knows its future lies with Nigeria not France a declining power. This whole thing could get some perspective if Nigeria decide it's time to end French hegemony of Francophone West Africa and it can but with a war on its hands it might not be prudent to do so now rather maybe better to employ clandestine means and ECOWAS mechanisms like the Eco currency to achieve those ends. It can also guarantee presidential security for pliant states. That is one way to weed these states off France. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Buhari isn't a rebel king. We actually do more to protect our Presidents and give it more prestige. Deby was silly to keep sticking his neck out like that. To see a country's President bloody and dirty. it's a sad sight. Hell they should have came up with another story as to how or what killed him. Those rebels just scored big. if they actually killed him. 2 Likes |

Sizzorkay:Isn't it interesting the rebels haven't even come out to say they did which is uncharacteristic of rebel or terrorists groups. They would want to cash in on that publicity and drive the narrative, they didn't yet the press is buying that one sided story of events. This should concentrate minds. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Odunayaw:I concur "A strong ECOWAS is a strong Nigeria". A strong Nigeria is also a strong ECOWAS. A weak Nigeria is a disaster for all of Africa. We can even stretch it to say a strong African Union behind Nigeria taking the lead is a force to be reckoned with in global affairs. The way to shut down these colonialists once and for all is to be united. But fifth columnists abound everywhere because of envy. The likes of Quattara helped by Jonathan to office now a total lackey of France and then the perennial ruler in Cameroon and even worse South Africa under Jacob Zuma and other puppets of the west. I expected more from Ramaphosa but with him and his ANC already advocating support for the junta in N'djamena for the sake of stability raises questions of what are there motives here. The whole chad business screams bad news with terrorists running amok and cheap Libyan weapons awash in the entire sub-region. Another option is to allow the regional hegemons a seat on the UNSC with veto power but here we are with the west playing brother against brother. ECOWAS still seems the best route for Nigeria but Africa would be better off with Nigeria as its lead voice in global affairs much like Europe defers to America. Many will not agree with me and may clamor instead for a United States of Africa but I don't see Nigeria with its huge population and potential acceding to such ideas which is why it supports the gradualist position of integrating the African Union. The strategic patience Nigeria has thus far employed might need to be jettisoned for a more robust assertive foreign policy to whip these nations into line for true emancipation. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Covert1: Very sound argument... Leaves a lot to ponder upon. But if this is correct, then the glory days of a functioning and assertive foreign policy with regards to West Africa may be in the horizon again. I fucking love this! |

Covert1: Now someone is asking the right questions. I totally agree with you on this. I have been following this news every hour and I have not heard the rebels claim responsibility. Probably they are just too surprised at their luck or not sure which rebel group actually carried out the hit. As for me I believe he was assassinated by his own guys. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Covert1: If we had our house in order, I would prefer we pull out of AU. Most African countries are not ready to be truly independent. We are always looking for validation from the west.

Perhaps the greatest undoing of the current service chiefs will be not playing the PR game with the terrorists. Those videos had great effects on how Nigerians perceived the war when they were releasing them but was unfortunately too late for the service chiefs at that time. |

Ops Tura Bango seem to have lost momentum. No more updates of military achievements, only news of repeated BHT attacks on Super Camps. It seems to me like the NA can't fight these ragtag militias without air support. Its like the NA are waiting for Tucanos and JF-17 before they could muster courage to venture of thier Super Camps. Everything just looks blimp and scary to me. I come to this thread to read and enjoy news of Victory over these bloodsockers but I am.daily fed with news of REPELLED REPELLED and REPELLED 9 Likes 1 Share |

NafeesaAA: Operation Tura Bango never lost its Momentum. The problem with this operation is that it is holding in JAS areas of which I complained about. The Military should be operating in ISWAP areas as they are the ones with capabilities to over run Military bases. Infact since 2018 till date JAS has never overrun any military base. But ISWAP Overran many in 2018 that made the military to switch to Super camps. Previously Dikwa area was more of JAS operating around until ISWAP pushed JAS out of Dikwa area. Immediately ISWAP pushed JAS out they overran the military base there twice. I don’t understand why we should leave out the Major threats and go after the lesser threats. JAS ain’t the real threat, But ISWAP. Greetings from a deep field location in Borno state ![]() 2 Likes |

Kaduna based Islamic cleric Sheik Ahmad Gumi has urged the Federal Government to yield to his advise and grant amnesty to bandits for them to lay down their arms, Newspremises reports. Gumi said this while reacting to the killing of three students of Greenfield University, Kaduna by bandits who abducted them from their school. Speaking to the PUNCH correspondent on Friday, the cleric said the incident had revealed his position that bandits were now at war with the nation. Gumi who was involved in the process that led to the release of students abducted by bandits in Katsina and Niger states, said he was helpless in the case of Kaduna State because the state government had not shown any readiness to negotiate with the bandits. Gumi, who is from Kaduna State, said the only way he could intervene as he did in Niger and Katsina states was for El-Rufai to reconsider his stance against negotiation with bandits. He said, “The situation is becoming dire and I need the government’s support before I can do anything, and I think there is a great misunderstanding and poor reading of the situation on the ground. So, I’m really helpless; I don’t know what actually I can do as of now.” On the students’ killing, Gumi said, “Honestly speaking, it is very unfortunate. There is an ethnic war going on, and I have been saying it. It is a war but if we don’t want to accept that it is a war, we will continue to suffer. “You cannot predict the behaviour of people who are like that; this is the unfortunate thing and it is the common man that suffers. The way forward is for the government to listen to us, because those people (bandits) are ready to listen to us. If the government will cooperate and listen to us, I think there will be peace but we are finding it difficult to get the government’s attention.” Likening the situation to the Iran-Iraq war, Gumi added, “We are in a war situation. As we are talking now, they (military) are dropping bombs on them (bandits). You cannot protect your children and you are dropping bombs on the enemies! “You remember the Iran-Iraq war when they were bombing Baghdad and Tehran and they didn’t care about the civilians. When young girls (and boys) are killed like that, you should know that it is not just criminality, it is beyond criminality, it is a war.” “There is a lot we can offer but we need the government to cooperate,” Gumi added.
