This issue of Terrorism will last for a long time if we don't secure our border. They are too porous. We need to invest a lot of money on our border if We want to know peace in this Country . 4 Likes |

SamuelAnyawu: His right!!!! Infact it’s a BIG ISSUE. Our borders are too wide and porous, easy to get in and sneak out. BHT use the advantage to lunch attacks from outside borders most times. 5 Likes |

komekn: Firstly, Our MRAP can stop 12.7mm. Ezugwu to be specific and I think ARA as well buh m not saying mrap should do the work of Armoured vehicles,,,jst stating the fact Secondly, buying Humvees from US is a very bad idea, I would rather suggest locally made armoured vehicles or russian, and Chinese Armoured vehicles Cos US doesn't really support Nigeria in military terms, If its going to take them 6 years to supply us 12 tucanos while it took them just 2yrs to supply Brazil 24 tucanos..You should know they don't give a sh*t about us Thirdly, We should also keep in mind the financial capability of the military which makes them to prioritize..I think the soldiers in northeast in general are more than 30,000 men which means we would need up to 3,000 or 6,000 vehicles depending on the capacity of the vehicle..The average cost of a decent armoured vehicle is up to $70k.. Lastly I hope you know that most of BH vehicles are Captured NA Hilux which means if you are trying to up the game of the soldiers in armour protection you might as well be uping the armour protection of BH..that may sound somehow buh it's the truth. What I would suggest is for the army to invest in more infantry fighting vehicles that can engage BH as far 2km away thereby increasing the engagement distance between soldiers and the terrorists which limits the damage BH AK47(which you said 95% of the fighters Use) that cant go more than 400metres would cause to soldiers.. 10 Likes |

SamuelAnyawu: The only way we can end insurgency for Good is to Effectively secure our borders..IF we deploy all the firepower in this world on them all of them will not die..They would always come back if the borders are still open.. I think the reason why the world is failing to end insurgency all around the world is because they are all fighting counterinsurgency like a conventional warfare...Secure the borders and they would run out of ammunition and weapons in weeks.. 7 Likes |

SamuelAnyawu:I have said it before and we continue to say it, we need a very tall fence with deep ditch in front and behind around our northern borders. We need to starve them out, no matter how many you kill, they will always recruit more. When potential recruits know that they will be facing hunger, poverty and suffering, they will think more than twice before joining. The mistake we are making is thinking they are scared of death, they desire death on battlefield more ardently than you desire life,that is why they blow themselves up. All those cattle rustled will be taken across the borders and will be sold in the markets of Niger, Chad, Cameron and even as far as Ghana. That is their major source of income. Another source of income is tax collected from fishermen in the lake Chad region and from farmers. Those people have no choice than to pay for it,we need heavy military presence in that region, when those farmers and fishermen feel safe, they won't have any need to pay "tax" to bokoharam. Once the border is closed, they won't be able to take kidnapped victims out of the country and demand Ransome, another source of revenue strangled. Weapons won't be able to flow in and foreign fighters/recruits will find it extremely difficult to enter the country. Toju200:Only fools will rely on neighbors for their own security. Our safety is our own responsibility, these countries you mentioned have a lot to gain from Nigeria being unstable. Even if bokoharam gets tanks from Libya or anywhere else, it is our own duty to make sure that the don't enter Nigeria with it. They've entered already, we need to make sure that more do not enter while we finish off the ones that are already in. If we don't build a fence, we will continue buying more sophisticated weapons, they will continue adapting and troops will keep on complaining that they don't have enough weapons. We didn't have the gunships before, they came in, wrecked havoc and the terrorists adapted, they've not really changed the situation on ground beyond killing more terrorists. If we are not careful, we will keep killing and our boys will be getting killed for years to come. 7 Likes |

SamuelAnyawu:from what I see the equipment pass through the lake Chad region/area through Chad, Niger or Mali First it's up to our neighbors to be on the look out cos the equipment won't just teleport into Nigeria French military are in these countries I mentioned they have Reaper drones,mirage2000 and Rafael jets that's supposed to help Alot in this war sef But to be sincere I haven't seen Their effectiveness at all. We first make sure we pound the hell out of terrorist in LC then mount heavy border security ( NIS, Custom,NA) Then Drones with High loitering hours will be on ISR like Twice daily 2 Likes |

Toju200: Drones are very expensive to keep in the air especially with a defense budget like ours, tall fences too are impractical, because there are some border communities that are split in 2 by artificial borders, courtesy of the Brits and the franks, Geo spatial technology is the only practical way we can police our borders, even the minister of interior alluded to it 3 Likes |

The wall doesn't even have to be concrete or brick or any other expensive thing. It could just be Hesco filled with sand. Very cheap and will serve the same function but if we are serious about security, we should go for steel reinforced concrete. Very expensive but will last for years. 5 Likes |

[quote author=lebuhsi post=90655400][/quote But really the military top brass, handling this war, need to tell their stories, in such a way, that the stories/words...correspond with pictures, we aren't averse to seeing destroyed and dead pictures.....bht, do much better PR, they pay attention to details and their propaganda always leaves an effect, but our military makes you ask more questions and guess, because most times the storyline doesn't go with pictures. |

[quote author=Tobiloba2407 post=90656643][/quote] I must admitted the military had been stingy with info, but now they realize that PR win wars, but it's unfortunate that the information release by the military has always been met with suspicion by the Nigerian media, and her citizens, BHT don't even havee to stress, drop a video and in no time it's on Sahara reporter's page, always from their 'sources' it has it's 'desired' effect because bad news sales better. 1 Like |

SamuelAnyawu: Some efforts are underway but they are slow..For example there is a deal between FG and Hawaei to provide and install systems that would be able to monitor about half of our borders such that they can be viewed live even from Abuja.. They are constructing FOBs for immigration or customs m not sure at the border areas..4 bases are currently in operation while 14 are under construction... The programs have started since last year buh I don't know when the would be completed.. 1 Like |
