Dialogue remains the only option.
ReplyDeleteForming that you are engaging the people and also engaging in military operations is counterproductive.
Let the military GO & dis-arm Fulani Herdsmen & Boko Haram in the North first.
So the OILYEL Money is more important to the government than the lives of her citizens being killed daily by the Fulani Herdsmen terrorists and the Boko Haram? shocked
God help Nigeria.
@Anthony. U are unrealistic, biased, unpatriotic and can be taken seriously. No serious govt engages in endless and futile dialogue while it faces existencial threat. Wake up.

ReplyDeleteI just came here to read freeborn's comment.
ReplyDeleteMake una enter the creeks and stop feeding little brains with falsehood..The North is desperate for CRUDE OIL by all means ...U are quick to make decision when it comes to OIL but doing nothing about the killings of Innocent people by Herdsmen and Bokoharam..Nonsense..#Biafraexit Eminent
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...@ freeborn bamislam, no amount of you hatred will stop the military in crushing the militant. I which you call your brothers or friends in north east they will tell how successful the military have being. pls stop this hatred,your vote is just one,stop creating enemy for people of the southeast on daily basis,have been in Borno for four years now and I no the great effort of the most discipline president in the history of Nigeria have done. lastly honour your mother and your father that your days might be long,sure the president should must be the age mate of your grand father,don't be strengthened by those hailing you who don't respect their parent at all. thank you
ReplyDeletePeace and progress go hand in hand but why is the military operations focused only in Niger Delta areas while the real blood suckers = the Fulani herdsmen killing squad are allowed to operate unhindered injustice and partiality of the highest order
ReplyDeleteDirty stinking nation.
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
I dont support exercise crocodile smile but if invading the militant camps and seizing their guns/weapons will help decrease the criminal activites eg kidnapping in the south south then im happy. At least some good will come out of it.
ReplyDeleteThat's what jona would've done before boko gets out of hand....so baba is not a coward he wants to wipe out the so called militant.
ReplyDeleteIts pathetic that the disgruntled carryover of the presidential election by elements of the SE and their associate apologists have eroded the sense of patriotism. Whoever wants to leave Nigeria is free to leave through appropriate channel. No responsible govt will stand docile or continue in fruitless dialogue when the nation is faced with existencial threat. The govt MUST hunt down insurrectors and saboteurs operating within its national borders. social media rants can't stop it. Deal with it.
ReplyDeleteNice one, the left them for too long. Stupid idiots, fools called militants
ReplyDeleteI think this operation crocodile laugh will make N1 to $1 as Buhari promise, brain dead
ReplyDeleteNA launches 'operation cartoon'(in tom & jerry style)
ReplyDeleteIf na crocodile laugh will make Buhari turn N1 to $ 1 dollar as he promised us, it's welcome, mumusco
ReplyDeleteGood job. But wait,why is the nigerian army not trying to deal with fulani heards men like this??? Our current administration is very tribalistic. Damn in man!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAdding salt to the injury will not help the matter. May God have mercy on us..amen
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteWhat are the odds that these people are killing and arresting innocent people?
