You are a nonentity. And I will tell you why.
"Why not deploy troops?"
Troops are already deployed, you ignoramus. Thousands of soldiers are in the North‑East, North‑West, North‑Central, and other theatres. They are fighting, dying, and winning. Just because you are too lazy to read the news does not mean nothing is happening.
However, Forest Guards are a federal initiative under ONSA – trained, vetted, and armed to protect local communities and secure forest corridors. They are not replacements for the military. They are force multipliers. Local people who know the terrain, speak the languages, and can identify strangers in their communities. That is something no soldier air‑dropped into a village can do overnight.
"Sending forest guards with dane guns against hardened t£rr0r!sts with sophisticated weapons?"
You are either malicious or willfully ignorant. Forest Guards are not being sent with dane guns. The ONSA framework provides modern weapons the same type used by the CJTF who have fought alongside troops for over a decade. If you think the CJTF fought with dane guns, you are a f@@l. They fought with what they had and they won.
You mock solutions because you have none. You criticise because it is easier than contributing.
The military cannot be everywhere. Community security is not a gimmick. It is a necessity.
So sit down, shut the fvvvck up, and let those who actually serve do their jobs.
@247IGBO Una Dey fight without food , una mumu no too much , you Dey fight people wey Dey produce your food , ojukwu should be trialed for war crimes .
@_belikebaddy You are very very ignorant , follow @patriotic Soja to know more about the advantage of adding our local security to combat insecurity in our region
You speak from a place of ignorance. Let me speak from a place of experience.
I have fought alongside the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) in the North‑East. I have seen them navigate terrains that military GPS could not map. I have watched them lead ambushes, identify hideouts, and save soldiers' lives not because they have better weapons, but because they know the ground.
The Forest Guard initiative is not a replacement for the military. It is a force multiplier.
You ask: "Will 1,000 individuals be effective against terrorists the military has fought for over a decade?"
Yes. Because the military is already effective. The Forest Guards are not substitutes – they are scouts, guides, and local defenders. They know which path leads to a village and which leads to an ambush. They know which farmer is a collaborator and which herder is a spy. That is not training. That is local knowledge and no amount of military drills can replicate it.
You call the Forest Guards "less prepared." But the CJTF started as volunteers with no training and no weapons. Today, they are a critical component of Operation HADIN KAI in the North East. They have paid the supreme price. They have rescued civilians. They have mapped every creek in the Tumbuns, Mandara Mountain and Timbuktu Triangle.
The military remains the best bet. But the military cannot be everywhere at once. It cannot live in every village. It cannot monitor every forest path.
That is where community security forces come in – not to replace soldiers, but to complement them.
If you think the Forest Guards "won't stand a chance," you do not understand asymmetric warfare. The enemy hides among the population. The only way to find them is with the help of the population.
That is not a campaign job. That is a survival strategy.
Let's stop mocking solutions we do not understand.
@iamnasboi No be about mental health baba , they have used the constitution to tie everybody down , if you advocate for succession na treason dem fit kill you , if you come out say you wan be hero , dem go track you and call you a terrorist , if you plan to protest , dem go Dey watch you .
