It has barely been a month of President Donald Trump’s second coming, and the bizarre revelations that have been coming on a daily basis, about the sins committed by the left wing led US govt, both within and beyond the shores of America; have partially explained or resolved some crises around the world. The Ukraine war is being unraveled as a money laundering scheme, and a quest for Ukrainian resources. Boko haram in Nigeria has been specifically mentioned as being funded by interests from the USAID interventions around the world. USAID, created by President Kennedy long lost its way and efforts by the Clinton administration to reform it hit a brick wall. The US Congress now asserts that if there were an effort to undermine US interests around the world, there wouldn’t have been a better vehicle than the present operations of USAID. Rep. Scott Perry says America lost 22,000 soldiers and 80 million dollars weekly to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Monies sent were used to fund ISIS, Al-Qaeda and again, Boko haram. Zawadi Tina had a trending online video where she explicitly says that political stability in Africa is bad business for International organisations. President Donald Trump’s second coming has almost confirmed all her theories.
Now back home, f I had said that the security situation in Nigeria is improving, it may be viewed as a govt’s apologists’ view. But I came across a brazen commentary by an opposition party’s noisy commentator, alluding to the fact that our security situation has improved tremendously. Kaduna is peaceful and safer, Katsina is much better, and perhaps the only theatre that has remained challenging is Zamfara and environs. Even at that, there has been a huge military onslaught on the bandits and several camps have been destroyed, while a few bandit groups have come forward seeking amnesty, and a peaceful resolution with the military. The Nigerian military issued a statement emphasising that the bandits have asked for amnesty and a ceasefire, and want to sit with the military as their people are being killed in droves. They are feeling the gusto of the military and they are badly hit.
One of the advisers to the Chief of Defence Staff, Hon. Gebi was on Arise TV, to give insights as to what is being done differently. He stressed that there is now a synergy between the security forces: the army, the airforce, the police, civil defence and navy, are all working together; as opposed to the previous scenario where have an impasse of inter-agency rivalry. The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has for the first time in a long time, been able to have one roof over the agencies, in a collaborative and effective working relationship where they pool their resources and capabilities together, to fight one enemy. Not as rivals or as competitors, but as one formidable Nigerian Armed Forces. The DSS alongside the other formations, has been instrumental with intelligence gathering and other psy-ops. This has been the recipe of the renewed effort to tackle and fight banditry, and it is yielding results. Terrorist kingpins have been annihilated along with their brothers in terror. The army has been quite victorious in the last 6 months especially. Our homes and neighbourhoods are safer. At some point Abuja was almost falling into the hands of the terrorists. Abuja is much safer now and the few cases of terrorist attacks in some suburbs and even within the metropolis have fast waned away. The police in Abuja has been succesfully active and responsive to this threat.
The CDS, Gen. C Musa, in an interview asked pertinent questions, about the terrorist threats, their capabilities, their life span, their funding, and so on. Boko haram has regrouped so many times. More than 120,000 terrorists have surrendered, yet they keep multiplying. The CDS said that the terrorists are usually found with hard currencies. This means there are foreign hands in their organisations. He wondered how they are able to sustain themselves for 15 years. He alluded to the fact that there maybe some kind of International conspiracy supporting their actions. This was on an international media house interview (Aljazeera). He was very brazen with that statement. He stated that there are so many international organisations in those war theatres and stressed that there was nothing the military was doing wrong in their fight against the terrorists. The journalist tried to press him for specifics and he said, “I’m sure they know all this and I’ll leave it at that”.
All of a sudden, not long after his interview, the CDS is denied visa to Canada? Canada ofcourse is lackey to US, especially the left wing US led govt and what remains of it. The US Judiciary seems to be fighting the present executive arm of the US govt. The left wing is actively still pulling strings and throwing punches. Our CDS and his crew would not be in their good books. Surely he wouldn’t be entertained for not only winning the war against terrorists, but for pointing fingers at what the US congress has now pried open. Our NSA, Ribadu, also got a piece of those left wing punches and string pulling. His support for the CDS’s operations and his finger pointing has also come at a personal cost to him. It has been graciously revealed by the US Congress that USAID drove a huge social deception campaign. Journalists, media houses etc were paid millions of dollars to drive deceptive campaigns against foreign govts. At this time, it is easy to decipher that Ribadu and Gen. Musa are in foreign bad books and everything will be done to tarnish them or make them fail. For a runaway felon whose organisation has been severally fined millions of dollars in Europe for sharp practices to come out and make bribery allegations against Ribadu, at such a time that Ribadu has asked some foreign powers to go to hell is hilarious. Does he have a recording? Did he give him the dollars just the way USAID gave Taliban and Boko haram and journalists crisp US dollars? Pure hogwash. It’s social deception in full throttle. Troops on the ground is way old fashioned. There are so many means used by these forces to destroy us. Media, our own citizens fighting us as fundamentalists and activists, and then brainwash and hogwash!
