Iran offers to help Nigeria fight Boko Haram

Iranian government has announced its willingness to use its expertise and experience in fighting  terror groups, ISIS and Al-Qaeda in their country to help fight Nigeria's terror group, Boko Haram.

Speaking at the ongoing 4th Assembly of the African Union (AU) Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia today Jan. 31st, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, Amir Hossein Abdollohian their country is willing to help Nigeria and Somalia in combating terrorism.
“Boko Haram in Nigeria and Al-Shabaab in the Horn of Africa are similar with Al-Qaeda and ISIS in parts of the Middle East using similar methods of operations to cause havoc to the people of the two regions. Iran is therefore willing to use its experience in dealing with terror groups to assist in combatting these groups in Africa." he said

Now you understand whey we've been saying. Now Buhari is fighting for the presidency they want to help. To help him Islamise Christians. This is their ploy, God is exposung all and I hope Christians can now see. Buhari has a strong relationship with Iran. Our Government MUST never allow this. Ask how they torture and behead Christians in Iran. They are second or third class citizens in their country. Continue saying Sai Buhari..... Smh. His first strategy will be to plot to impeach Osinbanjo and bring in the Muslim he always wanted. Remember he had wanted a Muslim Muslim ticket until he was strongly advised otherwise. Be careful Ngerians. Vote wisely!

Which help you. They want to Islamise you and if you refuse you will become a third class citizen in your country. Ask the Christians there. A country that practices Sharia and everyone covers up? No alcohol or parties allowed? Iran is an extremist country. The US should be warn Jonathan and keep a keen eye in this dubious offer. Buhari and Iran are very close. Buhari has commenced his first plot to islamise Nigeria. So that is he wins he will claim they made the offer in the first administration meanwhile he invited them. Don't be fooled Nigerians.

Even the citizens are poor historians like their leaders just like what I said yesterday that if we are being ruled by good historians that our country would have been a better place. Imagine our own citizens jubilating that Iran is coming to help us.. Go back to your history books. They will wipe out merciful bokoharam and bring in merciless Isis with registered number of Nigeria as an Islamic country. It's a journey of no return. An advice from Wilkings

trust me when i say this people has intensions there is no unilateral aid that comes for free.. im so sure thy are doing this in other for our economy to b open up to them. jonathan u see your hand work! we hope we dont pay through our teeth.

Unknown said...

I must commend the effort of Cameroun and Chadian military. They've been launching massive offensive against the insurgents and recording successes. The Camerounian government took the threat of the leader of Boko Haram seriously and went into alliance with Chad to rid their territories and borders of Boko Haram. If this onslaught continues, we may witness a situation where the insurgents are pushed from the border towns and villages into the heart of Borno towns and forests. At this stage, the Nigerian Military may be left to it fate to continue the war alone. To prevent this from happening, this is the time for the Nigerian Military to launch Massive offensive against the insurgents and dislodge them from territories they have occupied in the heart of Borno. With simultaneous attacks from both end i.e Nigerian Military and Cameroonian and Chadian Military, the insurgents will be weakened and retreat to the forest. This war requires coordinated effort between Nigeria and it neighbours.

Ada Ike said...

Iran thrives in chaos, they supported houthi rebels to take over Yemen and now want to do same in Nigeria. Isreali bombing of the Gowan heights two weeks ago (killing an Iranian general even though they denied any support for terror activities there) was to reveal to the americans who were going to sign a nuclear deal with Iran that Iran is still the enemy.
Iranian regime elements focused on the "end-of-times" prophecies see the coup in Yemen and the death of the Saudi King as the fulfillment of prophecy.
