At every possible forum,Not to be confused with RUBBER MATS available at your local hardware store I have never shied away from advocating the necessity for a surgical reformation of the Nigerian security services. The persistent socio-political upheavals in the country eventuating in the audacious "in your face" attack on the headquarters of the Nigerian Police Force have further accentuated the necessity for this belated action.
The reality of terrorism and other anti-state violence is the exploitation of the inherent weaknesses in the operational capacity of the security services in order to demean the authority and vitiate the legitimacy of the government of the day. A weak security infrastructure certainly means a weak government. What is not in doubt to those of us who study and analyse security organisations dstti and intelligence operations globally is that the Nigerian security services especially the police are not fit for purpose. They are operationally deficient, institutionally weak and structurally decayed.
The ascendancy of the irredentist Boko Haram group with its nihilist approach to social and political questions has further defined the incapacity of the Nigerian security services to protect the citizens, infrastructure and assets of the country.Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality, This failure had of course become increasingly apparent to most discerning minds since the 1980s when variegated ethno-religious, political and social conflicts began to brake out intermittently across the country reaching its apogee with the declaration of war against the Nigerian state by different ethno-economic militant groups in the Niger-Delta.
The Boko Haram movement has further elevated and expanded the narrative of violence especially those of the ethno-religious kind to new frontiers hitherto unthought-of, what with the deliberate murder of Pastors, Policemen,the Injection mold fast! Soldiers and innocent citizens including those who subscribe to their own faith. This defiant narrative has included the bombing of churches, barracks and places of entertainment deemed aberrant by the sect all in their malevolent quest to ensure the adoption of extreme "talibanic" brand of sharia the like of which was imposed on poor Afghans by the Taliban in their short-lived rulership of that pitiful country.
I have in the course of study engaged many security officers and experts who propound that perhaps the major impediment to the efficiency of the Police Force lies in its limited manpower. I never weary to interrogate this enervated premise and dismiss it as profoundly flawed,We processes for both low-risk and high risk merchant account. a simple yet studious analysis of the different operations of the force whether proactive or reactive will show that its major problem like that of other security services in the country lies in the failure of intelligence; that inability to identify, infiltrate, recruit and gather actionable intelligence. There is just too much emphasis on the Powellian doctrine of overwhelming force, which in its self is not bad but only when you are working with good intelligence.
Intelligence work is serious work; it is strategic in nature requiring long-term investment including keeping sleeper agents in place for years. It is expensive requiring the recruitment of financially influenced agents and informants at the highest operational level of the target group, the Americans paid five million dollars to the Iraqi informant who identified Saddam Hussein' hiding place in Tikrit. Intelligence gathering is physically, emotionally and intellectually demanding, requiring self-service, disciple of the mind and utmost dedication from operational commanders and agent handlers like Soviet Intelligence Officer Colonel Rudolph Abel who ran the highly successful spy ring in New York that stole U.S atomic secrets which enabled the Soviet Union to build her own nuclear bomb. More than anything else, intelligence work exacts patriotism, the kind of patriotism that propelled Mossad Officer Eli Cohen to infiltrate the highest levels of the Syrian military and government where he developed close relationships with the political and military hierarchy and became the Chief Adviser to the Minister of Defense.Largest Collection of billabong boardshorts,
