Nigeria is a ripe plum for those who understand how predators have come to dominate world affairs. It is the most populous African country, the biggest oil and gas producer, the greatest economic potential, the biggest consumer market. Thus, Nigeria is a target.
The objective is the utter and total destruction of Nigeria’s economic and commercial viability by tapping into the fact that Nigerians are angry, divided, fed up with abuse, corruption....the quintessential perfect storm.
I now realize Nigeria is being set up, not just to fight never ending insurgency in the North, but to draw Nigeria into a war with state actors like Cameroon. A war that will bring more players, ala France for one, into another endless cesspool. The senseless
..unprovoked attacks. Goading us through carefully orchestration, bushels of money and false flag terrorism, which Nigeria has already been battling for a decade. A united Nigeria, 200 million strong will be the worse nightmare for countries like France.
The only way to put an end to all of this is if we stand united as one. But with the sorosoke generation and greedy so called activists like Sowore and Omokri whose source of livelihood now centres around playing opposition, divisiveness and calls for revolution, they will
.resist any attempt to unite the country. They make a ton of money playing opposition activists and receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants. The status quo is perfect for their business model.
With people like these one would have to assume near dictatorial powers to bring the nation together to face a common enemy. This wasnt always case. There used to be a time in this country when if you delivers on promises like for example, infrastructure
electricity, police reform, refinancing debt etc he can most certainly count on the support of the people. (Not saying the president has delivered on all of this). Not anymore. The discontent and anger Nigerians feel is being monetized by self appointed selfish activists..
.who manipulate Nigerians. Local politicians are by far the worst.
Governors embezzle billions and the people "Buhari" is to blame for youth unemployment, bad roads, taking advantage of the fact that most Nigerians are ignorant on the tenets of Federalism.
So rather than hold their governors and LG Councillors accountable, they turn their frustration on Abuja while local politicians sweep the state coffers clean. Further deepenining the divide in an already polarized nation. Making Nigeria invulnerable
..to external manipulation by sewing into the minds of Nigerians the desire for a civil war.
No surprise though. Nigeria is Africa. Its the biggest, richest and most powerful black nation on earth. A prosperous Nigeria is of vital importance to all of Africa.
Destroying Nigeria is a vital entropy needed by certain powerful interest groups to achieve their objective. , something only a select few know.

Despite its present obsolescence as a modern short range anti-aircraft weapon, the ZSU-23-4 is still deadly for enemy light armoured vehicles, infantry and firing points as an infantry-support vehicle.
There are three active Shilka operators in Africa.

Algeria

The Algerian army fields more than 200 "Shilka's". Algeria modernized the processing of the “Shilka” guns and also adapted it with Igla missiles. Algeria's Shilka's can now effectively hit ground, sea and air target
During the Yum Kippor war, the Egyptian army decried its limited ability to defend itself against Israeli air raids in the Sinai beyond the 10km terrain that was covered by SAM sites west of the Sinai. This problem put Egyptian planners in a dilemma.
The U.S will no longer treat African countries as pawns in a global game.
- U.S Secretary of state Antony J Blinken.
Too many times, the countries of Africa have been treated as junior partners — or worse — rather than equal ones.
Antony J Blinken.
The U.S. firmly believes that it’s time to stop treating Africa as a subject of geopolitics — and start treating it as the major geopolitical player it has become.
What will it take for the Nigeria to secure the border? We could shut down the border to stem the smuggling of rice but we cannot do the same to stem the smuggling of weapons and fighters? Cross border attacks up north. incursions Cameroon and Ambazonian militants
down South. Ironically, If there's one man that knows a thing or two about how to effectively execute a border closure, its the current President. The border closure of August 2019 was the most comprehensive in Nigeria's history. Within months Presidents of the affected
..countries began flocking to Abuja pleading for leniency. They took for granted the fact that have been enjoying unfettered access to one of the world's biggest consumer market for decades.
In 1994 Cameroon went to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to avoid war with Nigeria after many armed clashes occurred in the disputed regions. Heres a brief chronology of events that led to Cameroon taking this decision.
In 1987 after repeated clashes three Cameroonian soldiers were kidnapped and tortured. That same year Cameroonian troops attacked 16 villages around Lake Chad and exchanged the Cameroonian flag for the Nigerian flag.
Nigerian troops stormed the villages in an attack that took the lives of 50 civilians, hoisted the Nigerian flag and began boarding and inspecting every Cameroonian fishing boat close to Lake Chad.
If the territorial integrity of Nigeria is violated over and over and over and over again and we don't even get something as simple as verbal condemnation much less punitive action, then we deserve ridicule. Weakness they assay attracts aggression. The Nigerian governments
..response to these activities have been beyond shameful. You can have the all the state of the art weapons system, but what good is it if Nigeria's diplomacy is being run at kindergarten level. The ministry of foreign affairs and the Executive office itself has been aloof.
Weeks ago Cameroonian gendarmes on two occasions crossed into Nigeria to harass citizens without consequences. Now Amazonian militants are doing the same, this time they took it a step further.
Armed Ambazonian militants from Southern Cameroon crossed into Nigeria and carried
So 7,000 people (and counting) have signed an online petition demanding the trial of Buhari by the International Criminal Court. Yet another example todays generation of Nigerians are the dumbest since the Amalgamation of the Southern and Northern Protectorate in August 1914.
People actually think this makes them woke. From cheerleading ISWAP to calling for the trial of a sitting President. The damages Nigerians are inflicting on the country is on a scale ISWAP cannot hope to replicate.
Its ironic that the beneficiaries of the peace and stability
..secured with the lives of thousands of our troops and airmen in a decade of war, now pose an existential threat to country.
