Nigerian Army is very weak and ineffective

Nigeria might as of today be said to have the strongest economy in Africa.
But the Boko Haram emergence seems to expose the military might of this populous country in Africa.

It defyz ones imagination that the Nigerian Army lacks the tactis and military strategies to track 300(Three hundred) abducted students in its own country.

As it seems Boko Haram is having a free ride and is harrassing Nigerian cotizens at its own will in northern Nigeria

Military strategists and analysts are at loss as to why the Nigerian Army seems to be impotent.

Some say the problem lies in its formation, lack of trsining,lack of morale and generally a cadre of inept and ineperieced officers who have seen no military conflicts whatdover.

The Nigerin Army,they say, is a reflection of a bloated Government beureucracy,corrupt and inefficient.

Truly the Nigerian Army is a sad force for Africa.

You might be right, but how strong is the intel. unit of the same country!!!!????
I doubt if the Govt itself is monolithic leave alone the army...........consider the North - South matters!!!!
Is it true that the embryonic stage in the due process of Boko Haram formation took place in Nigeria!!!!????

If the Intel is intact enough, there is no infiltration from the "super powers" in Boko Haram's operation and the Govt is one what stops the "powerful army" from rules of engagement!!!!???????

If the cage is not too strong then the prey is too weak!!!!!!!!!

By elmagnifico :
hebu kama umepita shule yatafakari maswali
haya kwa makini ikisha jiulize je, ni kweli
nigeria kuna wasichana zaidi ya 230
waliotekwa na boko haram?
Kutoka kwa aremu oluwatimilehin peter:
Got this from a post. 11 mysteries of the
missing girls.
1. Where are the parents of these missing
girls, we want to see them? (wole soyinka).
"wako wapi wazazi wa hao wasichana
waliotekwa, tunataka tuwaone?" [kama kuna
wasichana waliotekwa ni lazima
wangelijitokeza wazazi wa wasichana hao]
2. Why has the government not published
pictures of these girls? (wole soyinka)
"kwanini mpaka leo serikali haijatoa picha za
wasichana hao?" [hivi wasichana hao
wameingia chuoni bila ya kuacha kumbukumbu
yeyote?]
3. You need a lot of vehicles to transport 230
girls, (godswill akpabio).
"unahitaji magari ya kutosha kusafirisha
wanawake 230"
4. How where they transported? If the girls
were made to walk in the bush track, how come
no villager saw them? (godswill akpabio)
"wamesafirishwa vipi? Ikiwa wasichana
wametembezwa njia za misituni, inakuaje
wanavijiji wasiwaone?"
5. The girls were said to have been transported
in trucks (hilux), assuming 10girls per truck,
that means we'll need about 23trucks for the
girls and about 7 trucks for the insurgents.
(me)
"wanadai wasichana hao wamesafirishwa kwa
magari ya aina ya hilux, jaalia kwa wingi kila
gari halitozidi watu kumi! Ambayo kwa
wasichana 230 watahitaji magari 23
kuwasafirishia, na magari 7 ya watekaji
nyara" [hivi upo uwezekano wa magari 30
(23+7) kutembea ndani y nigeria bila ya
kuonekana msafara wao na mtu yeyote mpaka
leo?]
6. Why were the principal's daughters and
female staffers not touched? (godwill akpabio)
"kwanini watoto wa mkuu wa chuo na
wafanyakazi wote wa kike hawakuguswa hata
mmoja" [je! Hawakuwa na umuhimu?]
7. What was the principal’s reaction when this
was going on? (godswill akpabio)
8. Some girls were said to have escaped, and
not a single child was shot, we all know that
has not been the practice in the past. Where
they freed or did they escape. (godswill
akpabio)
9. We were told that the state government
gave n1m each to the parents of the girls,
what was this money for? (online media)
10. Almost all the things suggested in the
media are the things b/haram is now saying.
(g/will akpabio)
11.a news agency said that the girls have been
sold for n2000 each, and a few days later, the
main man appears and threatens to sell the
girls, are we the ones suggesting what he
should do? (g/will akpabio)
.... Any answer to prove that these girls are
really
missing?
.........kuna jibu lolote la kuthibitisha kuwa ni
kweli hawa wanawake wamepotea
(wametekwa)?

As it seems, Jeshi la Nigeria limejivulia dharau kubwa duniani hivi sasa.
Zaidi ya kupiga raia, inaelekea hawana mbinu za medani za aidha kuwatafuta au kufuatilia matukio ya kijeshi.
Madhara yake yataonekana muda si mrefu.

[h=1]Nigerian Army Ignored Warnings About School Raid, Says AI

[/h]Published on May 9, 2014 by admin pmnews · 12 CommentsNigeria's military had advance warning of the attack on a school at which some 270 girls were kidnapped but failed to act, Amnesty International says.
According to the BBC, the human rights group says it was told by credible sources that the military had more than four hours' warning of the raid by Boko Haram militants.
Fifty-three of the girls escaped soon after being seized in Borno state on 14 April but more than 200 remain captive.
Nigeria's authorities say they "doubt the veracity" of the Amnesty report.
"If the government was aware [beforehand] there would have been an intervention [against the militants]," Nigerian Information Minister Labaran Maku said, speaking on BBC World TV.
However, he said the authorities would still investigate the claims.
Amnesty says it was told by several people that the military in Maiduguri, capital of north-east Borno State, was informed of the impending attack soon after 19:00 local time.
Despite the warning, reinforcements were not sent to help protect the school in the remote Chibok area, which was attacked at around midnight, Amnesty says.
One reason, the rights group says, was a "reported fear of engaging with the often better-equipped armed groups".
In its report, Amnesty International said the failure of the Nigerian security forces to stop the raid – despite knowing about it in advance – will "amplify the national and international outcry at this horrific crime".
The organisation's Africa Director Netsanet Belay said it amounted to a "gross dereliction of Nigeria's duty to protect civilians" and called on the leadership to "use all lawful means at their disposal to secure the girls' safe release and ensure nothing like this can happen again".

Lesson to Tanzania: vigilance and readiness even in times of peace. Small hints may reveal an iceberg of plots, they should all be taken with the same gravity to national security.

Wewe Peri unachotaka kusema ni nini hapa ndugu kwamba habari hii ya mabinti kutekwa ni propaganda..??
Nikirudi kwenye efficiency ya Jeshi la Nigeria siwez kulilaumu jeshi bali serikali (policy) na intelijensia.. Vita na magaidi ndio vita ngumu zaidi dunaini kwa sasa unapigana ukiwa blind (huwaoni) ilhali wao wanakuona..Ukifuatilia Historia ya Boko Haram ni kundi lililoanzishwa kama Polisi Jamii ya kuenforce Sharia law kule Kaskazini (under obasanjo) na lilikua na baraka zote za magavana na serikali ilifaham which makes its existence more of a religous tool to enforce sharia law. Sasa walipoanza kutaka kuexpand matakwa yao yatoke kwenye Kano na Bono na kwamba Nigeria nzima itawaliwe Kiislamu hapo ndipo tatizo lilipoanza. Kama itakumbukwa Mwanzoni kundi hili lilikua na mapigano na Wakristo tuuu... Lakini Serikali ilipozidisha mapambano na kulitangaza kua kikundi cha kigaidi bas Boko Haram wakamishia mapambano kwa nchi nzima.
Serikali ilibidi iinfiltrate kundi hili toka mapema kupata updates za kiintelijensia kuhusu mipango yao ya baadaye na kwamba Silaha wanapata wapi, nani anawaunga mkono, mahitaji yao muhimu kama chakula, mafuta, pesa, nk. hupitia njia zp,... Matokeo yake Boko Haram ndio waka infiltrate serikali na wao ndio wanapata details zote za Serikali inapanga nini kuhusu wao. Mwaka jana Goodluck Jonathan akamfukuza Mkuu wa Majeshi na baadhi ya maofisa wa Usalama kwa kashfa hii. Tatizo wameshalijua ndio kisa cha kuiomba jamii ya Kimataifa iingilie kati kwasababu ndani ya Taasisi za Kiusalama za Nigeria hali imeshachafuka hakuna unayeweza kumwamini... Boko Haram wameshakimbia mitego zaidi ya 150 (mwaka jana tu) waliyowekewa na Serikali kunaswa nani kawapa info za kiinteli hakuna anayejua.. Boko Haram ina support ya mpka watu wazito ndani ya Serikali so ni ngumu kwa kweli acha wageni wawasaidie halaf clean up ifanyike taratibu taratibu baada ya kuwashinda kwanza Boko Haram wa Msituni manake wako wengi mpka Maprofesa wa Vyuo Vikuu.

The Nigerian ARmy is a toothless bulldog.
Kutisha kwingi na kupiga raia lakini mbele ya adui they are kittens.

Nigeria + ECOMOG rescued Liberia and Sierra Leon from violence sponsored by the West for minerals.

Boko Haram is sinking Nigeria from within something that nobody in Africa can do without a special sponsor. And I repeat nobody in Africa can bring trouble to an African government without a special sponsor be it Nigeria or S. Sudan. African governments are brutal.

So who is sponsoring BH? After Rescuing Liberia and Sierra Leon from violence the West did not like the fact that Nigeria is curving out its sphere of influence and it needed to be cut to size. Nigeria is surrounded by FrancAfrique countries (controlled by France through a colonial pact ). This is what the west uses to sponsor BH coupled with US embassy in Nigeria and the poverty in the north.

Nigeria has invited the west to come and save it from BH and to date they are yet to bring any school girls home. Many people have already heard about the prediction of Nigeria breaking up by 2015. If Nigeria does not get control of this situation, the breakup time bomb has already started.

Nigeria goes and West Africa is gone because the rest of the countries there are either small or FrancAfrique countries. That leaves us with EA(Ke and TZ ) and Southern Africa. Therefore AU becomes useless and the West occupies and takes over West Africa and Central Africa that are rich in minerals.

Makundi mengi ya kigaidi yanaanzia ndani ya serikali, na wanapata sapoti kubwa kutoka kwa watu ndani ya serikali.

Jeshi linatakiwa lisiwe linaegemea upande wowote. Hii itasaidia kwenye matukio kama haya.

Somalia, Sudani Kusini, Angola, Congo, Rwanda ni baadhi ya mifano.

Tanzania na nchi nyingine ambazo hazijawahi kukumbwa na kadhia hii.
