I was watching a documentary today on CNN about the Talibans capture of a major city in Afghanistan. The first thing they did was to get all girls from age 12 and above for the commanders and various members to get married to and it got me thinking. The Taliban and the various terror groups in the north all share the same ideology. No amount of weapons or super intelligence can defeat this guys. I mean the USA poured in over 20 billion dollars in Afghanistan. Sent in high end weapons, trained the Afghan troops yet they still lost the war. 20 years gone, thousands of Americans dead and the war was lost.

If a whole America couldn't defeat the Taliban what is the fate of the Nigerian army in winning the boko haram war. They are even recruited into the same army and people in the south are just sitting down. Whether people like it or not. Those guys will take over the north and when they do what happens to the south. I mean people make a lot of noise on social media but we all know southern tribes aren't used to wars or warrior like in nature compared to the north that has known and fought all kinds of wars. Even if the country divides as people want it to. Will independent southern nations have the resources to fight the terror groups in the north. With Afghanistan under taliban control it will become a training and funding ground for all forms of terror group.

I have always predicted southern Nigeria to be like congo or Liberia in the future but with what's going on in the north it might be much worst than Afghanistan and Yemen put together.

We'll build a WALL longer and taller than the Great wall of China. Keep the northern terrorist ragheads in their region.

Do you think the south has the resources to build a wall. The south is also very poor too.

We'll organize fasting and prayer in all Southern states no food, no water till those Bandits and their sponsors all die or turn a new leaf

The future of southern Nigeria would be bleak because there are more southern idiots than rational beings

Nothing like mighty USA, even Russia lost the war in Afghanistan too..the mountainous terrain makes it difficult to stage war against the Taliban there. They are good in mountain warfare.

Taliban and boko haram are two different set n fighting on different terrain too.

Only a southern president with the political will can defeat n crush them.any northerner will not.

Defend themself more than before.

Why don't you worry about the fate of your terrorist infested, poverty ravaged North instead of worrying about what the person who is presently feeding you will eat in time of famine?

I don't believe the terrain shit. Russia was there for over 20 years and studied the terrain and failed. The USA was there for over 20 years studied the terrain and failed. Even If the terrain was horrible for foot soldiers what about the USA air force and it's various drones.

Walai. Igbo land will be Islamised first.

Whether we'll win or not isn't the question.

The question should be, have we tried to win this war?

Since the days of GEJ, the northerners have been firmly behind Boko Haram. Some northerners are only against them now because they killed Muslims. Trust me, if Boko Haram and bandits targets were southerners and Christians alone, most northerns would still be firmly behind them.

The northerns have done their best to frustrate the pseudo efforts of the government, especially this present administration.

The thing seems like a joke to me, how can you send aides to pay for ransom to bandits and tell me you don't know where they are?
You take pictures with them, have a round table discussion with them but yet, you don't know their locations?

Remember what OBJ did in Niger Delta? How he cleared those militants after having a group discussion with them? Trust me, we can pull something as easy as that off, especially with the fact that majority of these Boko Haram and Bandits have very low IQ.

There is a saying in yoruba that, if you don't play, you can't win.


As for the future of the South, we have oil, we are intelligent amongst other things.
The southern states are the best in Nigeria.
It's the safest place to be in Nigeria.
If you remove the northern affiliation and for the fact that we don't get to share revenues with the north who are much than us in terms of number of geopolitical zone, state and population, we will do very fine. We'll also easily attract foreign investors.

I don't know why you prefer to be stupid all the time
It must really be tough for friends, family and associates dealings with your purulent stupidity

I don't care about anything regarding Nigeria. E no concern me. I jus want leave this country; that's all I care about.

Because Almighty USA failed in Afghanistan doesn't mean every other person will fail... military don't win the heart of people it only cause more destruction... As for the south just declare non southern Nigeria as persona non grata from street level and give them a timeline to leave

North can not fall to terrorist.. Those who have been playing the game have been so careful in the way they do it.

As more bandits, Boko Haram and other criminals are surrendering, that could be a game changer as Buhari wouldn't want to leave power with the unrest in North to continue

Afghanistan shares border with Russia, yet Taliban no dey pass their boundary enter Russia because they know it will take Russia few hours to wipe out Taliban and join Afghanistan to Russia forever.

So, of Book Haram takes over the Northern land of sorrow, tears and blood and fully establishes its government of killing and maiming, Lower Niger will protect and secure its boundaries

This one should be sacrificed to Ogun and Aiyelala

Oga your story is shortlived. First of Russia got her ass whooped in Afghanistan.

Second of all, USA, thoroughly dealt with Taliban, removed them from government, installed new govt etc. The next phase now is to teach Afghans to fight their own war. Which is what US would do eventually.

Thirdly, America though not invincible is a master tactician. Withdrawal from Afghanistan and subsequently allowing terrorists taking over the country would be strategic.

First, it will allow the oppressed China's Ughur region, to have direct access to a terror nation. And you know the problems in the Urghur region in China.

Secondly, Taliban can easily seize Tajikistan and Uzbekistan which are at the backyard of Russia. Bringing terrorism into China-Russia mix would be a great tool for global dominance. Sacrificing Afghanistan to achieve that aim wouldn't be a difficult decision.

Knowing that America has over 50 years experience dealing with terrorists, they have moved into the realm of using terrorists to achieve their aims. Rather than completely wiping them out. Don't forget that at the height of Iran-US crisis, there were insinuations that America wanted to activate ISIS who is arch enemy of Iran.

If the global GDP is $80tr and your country alone controls $22tr out of it, you can do a lot.

It will be very difficult for terrorists to overun the south if we remove govt interference. Because for one, they are easily identifiable compared to southern population. Secondly, the south is much smaller and less mountainous. Thirdly, we have more resources to fight a prolonged warfare than them, amongst others.

And you think the south can do all these without being independent?
I wonder how una take dey think,one Nigerianist dey shock..

If world powers like USA or Russia, become serious with this Taliban terrorist, they will be crushed...

As for Southern Nigeria!! If it happens in the north, trust me, it would be a different story,.. . But Igbos will be More aggressive.

Everybody is starting from ground zero. Our leverage is resources. Sea, intellect, etc

Oga if Terrorists overrun the north then the country is essentially divided in itself

Every man for itself, and everyone would handle their boarder themselves

Now you understand why some Igbos like me want Biafra before it is too late. Lets not kid ourselves, the North is already gone to insurgency, but the South still has time...........

All these One Nigerianist abokiis at it again



OP why not wait till that time, then make we know who be who

There's a difference between an individual been funded with resources and an individual who generates resources

We can't let the north fall to terrorists. You may say it's already fallen, but the truth is that things could get much worse.

Lol.

Op needs to understand some tricky things before making some assertions. first of all if US should stay extra 50 years in Afghanistan, it will change nothing and also rivals like china and Russia cannot match US in operations like this.

Taliban is Afghanistan and Afghanistan is Taliban, that is the only reason they are still existing, they had the support of the people quite frankly let face it, if 85k strong Taliban fighter should be taken care of right now, by tomorrow you get another 85, so it pointless occupying the country and that is what uncle sam realised.

And yes Afghanistan has a difficult terrain you should study it and the fact is US air force cannot be conducting ops just anyhow there is something called the rules of engagement - they will not put the lifes of civilian at risk because they had their enemies in sight.

Don't worry boko haram is a business operations established by ur leader they are hated in the south.

Hmmn

Seun:
We can't let the north fall to terrorists. Hell no. You may say it's already fallen, but the truth is that things can get much worse.

if things get worse than it is right now,is it not as good as fallen?
Oga seun try and see the bigger picture and see the fact that the country is irredeemable.ten years ago if anybody tell you that southerners will be killed in their own land,you will never believe it but alas it's happening.
My take is this that every reasonable southerner should support the balkanization of the country. There is no two ways about it

Pure lies.
Taliban are an extreme ethnic supremacist being backed by Pakistan.
They are not Afghanistan.
Only a foolish civilian will fight them.
Taliban still exists because their opponents are sissies afraid to do what is necessary.

Let them handle their fake and staged insecurity. Nigeria isn't a real country and therefore not worth keeping together. The problem of the north is very similar to witchcraft. They carry an inferiority complex that goes down all the way to the spirit.
Their own idea of measuring up to those they envy isn't to grow but to pull others down. That's why since 1950s they have been crying about underdevelopment but constantly rechannel the funds given to them for other less important things. They oppose simple things that can move the nation forward because they want to catch up by all means.
