I'm sorry, buhari just wasted our common wealth (2.2bn) on fruitless U.S trip. He's now showing to be truly bra*nless as people call him. Where was he when U.S was frustrating GEJ's efforts at getting arms?. Where was he when GEJ's late alliance with east were yielding landslide victories over BH? Yet this old man chosed to make GEJ's initial mistakes and even despised east by not acknowledging their efforts during his swearing-in speech. I'm sorry and afraid, Buhari may fail woefully if he doesn't retrace his steps. The man is naïve and archaic in thinking. Though I want him to succeed, for the love of the nation. 4 Likes |

the north is reaping what they sowed. when ihejirika was defeating boko haram, it was the north that called for his removal. when gej went looking for assistance to curb boko haram activity, it was the north that accused him of sinister motives. when the u.s first agreed to assist in finding the chibok girls, it was the same north that condemned the effort. their actions increased boko haram's strength. 2 Likes |

ogb5:U'r right. they even accused Gej of genocide and they kept pressurizing him to grant amnesty to the sect wen he insisted that they act as a gurantor for the sect then he will accede to their demands. They declined knowing the implications. infact Gej was really passionate about helping and developing the north hence policies were targeting the north even at the detriment of his own region. Dare i say that what Gej did for the north no president has ever done such for them in the history of nigeria. by kicking him out they've done themselves more harm thinking they are spiteing the south. now i'm happy that he handed over to them. make them handle their wahala. 4 Likes |

If only President Mohammed Buhari knew better, he would not have boasted in his campaigns like he did that he will stop boko haram shortly after he's elected president. If only he knew better, he would not have ordered the removal of military checkpoints, at least not on the roads of the North East. If only he knew better, he would not have delayed till now before making key appointments into his cabinet so he could give them specific tasks toward looking inwards for solutions to our problems instead of hobnobbing all over the world to merry with two-faced friends of ours. If only President Buhari knew better, he would not have been fidgetery, jittery, unstable, double-minded, multiple-mouthed and undecided over boko haram's offer of negotiations; he would have stamped his feet on the ground and taken decisive decisions to stem out the sect. If only Buhari knew better, he would have desisted from making excuses like: 'I wish I was much younger', 'I can't use 2months to fix what the now opposition party used 16years to destroy', etc. If only he knew better, he would have gone to school. Infact, if president Buhari knew better, he would NOT HAVE CONTESTED TO BE PRESIDENT. Tell him when you see him, he does not know any better. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. 4 Likes 1 Share |

porka: Perhaps, it's a matter of perspectives. I don't see any victory for Iran there. She is not going to be producing nuclear weapons any time soon. Yes, Iran's nationhood was a point. Iran weathered the storm of West imposed sanctions because she was a United nation. Nigeria can't withstand such kind of heat, she is an artificial entity. |

Here is my own gripe, all this stuff about going cap in hand to beg America for weapons is really embarassing. If BH can manufacture bombs and IED's , what are our own military engineers and war college graduates doing? Please tell me does Nigeria have a proper weapons research facility? What we need is proper training of our own engineers so we can be able to manufacture our own. I expected Buhari and co to be searching the globe for professors and teachers in weapon manufacturing to come and run our own facility. It would cost less if we manufactured our own. There are people out there with weapon designs waiting for countries or weapons manufacturing companies to poach them. That's how you become a military might not by running around looking for who will sell you bullet and shakabula. If you don't believe me ask India, Pakistan and South Africa. 2 Likes |

America is always looking for people to waste time with, when I heard buhari was going to the USA I said to my family, in my exact words "Why is Go slow going to really waste his time" I'm happy APC chanters can now see things crystal clear for themselves that governance isn't easy, simply because GEJ didn't concur to that Nonesense of laws and as well let them try to dent rubbish to us to live with, sure Nigeria is corrupt, but in peril we shouldn't be left alone in troubled times, but go slow didn't listen now, he ended up wasting money and where is he, back home after a totally fruitless and futile journey. Buy weaponry from Israel, Japan, China, Russian federation (best bet) even ask Russian soldiers to come give our own soldiers their pain management training they give to their Septnaz or whatever they call it, Bring in Belarus, Red beret Soldiers, that's what you are the commander in chief, let me see why and how Boko boys would win the war this time.

Violence in Nigeria drives refugees deeper into neighbouring Cameroon, UN agency warns NEW YORK, 21 July 2015 / PRN Africa / -- Weeks after elections in Nigeria, violence and attacks continue to drive population movements within and outside the country, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees (UNHCR) warned today, reporting a “steady flow” of Nigerian refugees now seeking safety some 100 kilometres inside the Cameroon border. On average, some 100 people daily are registering at UNHCR's Minawao camp in Cameroon – opened in July 2013 – causing a population surge from about 30,000 late last year to approximately 44,000 today. “In Cameroon's remote Far North Region, a steady flow of Nigerian refugees are moving from the volatile Nigeria-Cameroon border area and seeking shelter some 100 kilometres inland at the Minawao camp,” said Leo Dobbs, spokesperson for the UN refugee agency, at a pressing briefing in Geneva. The arrivals at the camp are mainly Nigerian nationals who have previously fled to Cameroon to escape violence in north-east Nigeria, but stayed near the border – hoping for a quick return home. The refugees said they had fled militant attacks in Nigeria's Borno state. In recent weeks, there have been attacks and clashes on Cameroon territory, including a suicide bombing on 12 July, the first such attack in the country, on the far-northern town of Fotokol. As part of its response to this unrest, the Government of Cameroon has begun registering Nigerian refugees in the immediate border area. UNHCR field staff reported that the registration process provoked fear among some refugees that they might be returned to Nigeria against their will. Allaying fears, Mr. Dobbs explained, “UNHCR and the Government are in the process of consulting the refugees in the border area about where they want to go – some may opt to return to safe areas in Nigeria, while others may want to move to the Minawao camp. This process will continue over the coming days and weeks.” Some arrivals said they ran out of food while taking refuge in the border area and hoped for food distributions at the Minawao camp. Many of the newcomers were being temporarily sheltered in a tarpaulin-construction school area currently closed for summer break. Although the school is due to reopen in September, a wood shortage will prevent the construction of community or family shelters for them. “UNHCR has limited access in the Far North Region for security reasons, but estimates the number of unregistered refugees in the area to be some 12,000. The Cameroonian authorities say this number may be as high as 17,000” said Mr. Dobbs. In a separate development in southern Niger's Diffa region, over the past few days, authorities reported the arrival of some 2,500 Nigerians – mainly women, children and older people. Following a militant attack early last week on the Nigerian town of Damassak, people arrived in the border villages of Chetimari and Gagamari, located 20 kilometres from the town. Niger authorities report that they continue to arrive – with 80 per cent Nigerian refugees and the remaining 20 per cent Niger returnees. “Some of the new arrivals fled their homes last year after a first attack on Damassak and returned only recently. Some refugees are staying with the same host families they stayed with last year while others sleep in the open or in makeshift shelters,” Mr. Dobbs elaborated. Most new arrivals said they preferred staying in Chetimari and Gagamari rather than the Sayam Forage refugee camp, further inland, hoping to return to Nigeria as soon as possible. Locals have been sharing their meagre resources with them, including water and food. UNHCR teams are unable to access the border area for security reasons. Mr. Dobbs concluded, “More than 100,000 people have fled Nigeria and found refuge in Niger since mid-2013. The conflict has also displaced 18,400 Nigerians to Chad and left at least 1.5 million people displaced within Nigeria, mainly in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.” SOURCE UN News Centre |

The refusal to sell arms to Nigeria simple means we should look inward, as to how to resuscitate our steel industries in Ajaokuta, Alaja steel abandoned many years ago, with dat we can start producing light weapons and car parts, the same way they refused to help us during the Ebola crisis, it is glaring dat d Americans even d western world do not like Nigeria and as such would not contribute to our progress , my candid advice is to call their bluff and get serious. If we can do it during Ebola crisis which Obama himself had no oda choice dan to congratulate us, den we can do it, but only wen we all say no to corruption, then we can move forward. 1 Like |

It's a pity PMBs hopes has been dashed n now, he's left to face what GEJ went through but with a lethargic army and an ISIS affiliated, resurgent boko haram. Unfortunately, PMB had, in his western disposition, completely disregarded the affiliations GEJs gov't had made with the East, and to them he now has to turn and only time will tell how that will turn out. 2 Likes |
