It is possible for a public speaker, either as a politician or clergy, to be thrilled by the ephemeral cascade of encomia from moulded audiences. Owing to either pseudo or genuine praise from his audiences, he may be excited. But he will need to be cautious of his public utterances. Moreover, if the speaker must enthusiastically address his audiences at various events for twelve or more cumulative and stressful hours daily; unless his managers are competent, there is the likelihood for him to start making unguarded and ill-advised statements as a result of stress or overzealousness.
If he does, his handlers should be held responsible for gross negligence that could adversely undermine the objective of their subject, making all of them unfit for the job.
So, when the Presidential Flag Bearer of the Labour Party, Dr. Peter Obi’s clarion call for Christians to take over power hit social media a few days ago, Nigerians who believe in the unity of this country were taken aback and uncomfortable with the religious crisis-prone statement from the Labour party!
The instigation-oriented and rude-awakening political statement from a person who is aspiring to be president of Nigeria has created fear in the minds of unity-friendly Nigerians. As a result, deep thinkers, particularly our Muslim brothers and sisters are looking at the statement from the perspective of disunity and the intent to polarize the country by fueling discord between them and their Christian counterparts.
Many people are saying that for Obi to have carved out a section of our polity as where his interest is anchored at this early stage of working towards a new dispensation that will unite Nigeria, is a dangerous and clear indication of separation should he become the president of Nigeria.
Nigeria has a population of over two hundred and fifty million. She is a multi-ethnic and secular state. Above all, Nigeria is currently facing the challenges of ethnicity and religious chauvinism. Therefore, we shall need a known detribalized statesman that lacks religious fanaticism to fix this country.
In conclusion, and for the sake of clarity, Obi and his managers will need to imperatively revisit the burning issue and make their stand known to Nigerians. Certainly, Obi’s portion of the Christian population in Nigeria cannot give him polling victory come February 2023. He will therefore need to cautiously soft-pedal!
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation Lafiya Dole has destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorist (BHT) staging area and the terrorists vehicle workshop on the outskirts of Tumbun Rego in Northern Borno.
Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, announced this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
He said that the operation was conducted after NAF aircraft tracked some BHT vehicles from Kareto to a location 3Km Southwest of Tumbun Rego, where the BHTs had carefully concealed their vehicles, fuel storage facility and equipment under trees and vegetation.
“Accordingly, the ATF attacked the location in a massive air raid involving multiple aircraft in successive waves of strikes.”
He said the air raid led to the destruction of some BHT vehicles and their fuel storage facility, which was seen engulfed in flames.
The spokesman added that several of the insurgents were also neutralised as a result of the strikes.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on Monday says the role of the population where insurgency is fought is very critical to succeeding in irregular warfare.
Abubakar said this at the ongoing maiden edition of the Nigerian Air Force International Air Power Seminar in Abuja.
The theme of the seminar is “Air Power in Irregular Warfare: A Framework for Understanding and Responding”.
He said government forces and the general population must see themselves as partners in progress, working together to restore peace and security.
He said: “We must debunk the narratives of the insurgents and endear ourselves as patriots in the hearts and minds of the people.
“Based on our understanding of the nature of irregular warfare, the Nigerian Air Force and indeed the military, have deployed massive non-kinetic means in the theatre of operations.”
“Consequently, civil-military coordination activities are carried out simultaneously alongside air operations.”
Abubakar added that the changing character of warfare had imposed the need for a change in the way armed forces approached warfare.
He said: “While the engagement in conventional or regular warfare remains a possibility, the global predominant threat to nations has gone more irregular in nature.
“Irregular warfare by its nature is asymmetric, and it covers a wide range of activities with insurgency and counter-insurgency operations at its core.”
He noted that the Nigerian military had been engaged in irregular warfare of recent, particularly in its fight against the insurgents.
He said: “The security situation in Nigeria, the rapidly changing dynamics in the international arena and the changing approach to warfare requires careful understanding of threats/response options available for projection of air power in addressing national security.
“We, therefore, deemed it necessary to host this International Air Power Seminar to serve as a platform for exchange of ideas on the way forward.
“Between June 1, 2015 and Oct. 31, NAF flew a total of 51,582 hours 15 minutes in 39,807 sorties to deliver the air power that has helped to keep the insurgents at bay. as well as creating an enabling environment for our surface forces to conduct their operations.
“We have provided medical services to over 295,000 patients and have conducted 661 general surgeries and 848 eye surgeries among the displaced persons across the country with well over 80 per cent of these being carried out in the North-Eastern parts of the country.”
Abubakar explained further that the seminar was conceptualised to provide a forum for cross think-thank domain discussions where experienced air power practitioners would interact.
He said those in the academics in related fields working in similar emerging threat environments would interact with air power practitioners of the service.
Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, said the seminar perfectly fits into the ministry’s vision of ensuring synergy and cooperation within the services.
He added that not just within the services but across ministerial boundaries in support of the nation’s political objectives.
The minister appreciated the CAS for his efforts in bringing this idea of the seminar to fruition.
He said: “We at the ministry are quite appreciative of the role the NAF has played in the counter-insurgency operations in the North-East.
“We are aware of both the kinetic and non-kinetic efforts the NAF has been expending, and is still expending, in support of the counter-insurgency operations.”
He said all of these had been instrumental in curtailing the insurgents and making life more meaningful for the victims.
Dan-Ali said: “I believe this seminar will further provide new options for the service in its counter-insurgency operations based on experiences from other countries.’’
The video, released by Ibikunle Daramola, director of public relations information, NAF, documents the increasing active participation of female officers in various departments in the force.
Kofi Annan, United Nations former secretary general, once said “women combatants are often invisible, leading to the obliteration of their vital roles.”
The documentary, however, said the NAF, under the leadership of Sadique Abubakar, chief of air staff, has recorded more women involvement in active operational areas.
According to the documentary, one Kafayat Omolola Sani is currently undergoing pilot training in the US, and upon graduation, will become the first female fighter pilot of NAF.
Another female, TO Arotile, is said to be undergoing training on flying helicopter training in South Africa.
