| ISIS on theie way to Niger and Nigeria - Security Expert |
A Nigerian former British police officer and security and governance consultant, Mr Vince Onyekwelu has warned that unless the governments of Nigeria and Niger Republic act immediately, the dreaded Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS terrorists may be on their way into both countries.
Onyekwelu gave the warning yesterday during a live television programme, Sunrise Daily on Channels television where he said that with the capture of the Libyan international airport.
According to him, with the proximity between the borders of Niger, Chad and Libya Nigeria must intensify collaboration with both countries to ensure that the ISIS terrorists so not sneak into the country.
Asked whether Nigerians should be worried that that the ISIS has taken over the Libyan airport responded in the affirmative saying the development should give enough room for concern.

“We don’t need to worry much about this but we need to get the immigration agencies of these countries to collaborate and make sure that the borders is well secured because if these criminals into Niger Republic or Chad they are going to be heading into Nigeria so we need to make sure that in this joint task force that we are talking about how do we protect the borders of Chad and Libya, how do we protect the border between Niger Republic and Libya. So we need to protect our own but the bottom line is we should be worried because it seriously worrying,” he said.
In August last year before Boko Haram joined ISIS, The Biafran opined that Biafrans should be concerned of the atrocious acts of ISIS in the Middle East. The report outline various reasons why Biafrans should be wary of events in Iraq including the fact that:
Boko Haram shares same warped Ideology with ISIS
Boko Haram and ISIS share similar religious ideology that promotes Islam with the most virulent and extremist level of violence that could only come from the deepest pit of hell. They lack human empathy and have demonstrated that they are being controlled by the worst of the demons hell has ever produced. Spilling innocent bloods gives them unprecedented high. They have sworn to wipe away Christians from the face of the earth. Their watchword is kill . . .kill. . .kill!
Boko Haram would therefore replicate what ISIS is doing in Iraq if they are allowed to set foot on Biafra.
Biafrans are Boko Haram’s Enemy Number 1!
Biafrans are the prime targets of Boko Haram. They have shown this in deeds and words. The core agenda of the Noko Haram is to dip the Koran in the Atlantic Ocean. The jihadists hate Biafrans because they are the only stumbling block to the jihadists quest to Islamise Nigeria. Boko Haram insurgency commenced with the brutal killings of Biafrans in various parts of northern Nigeria, until they chased away almost every Biafran from the far North. In their current quest to get to Biafrans in their homelands, they are at the moment eliminating northern Christians and moderate Muslims (who by the way were tacitly supporting Boko Haram, when they were massacring Biafrans in the North), who they perceive to be standing on their march towards Biafra. Boko Haram was allowed to fester in Northern Nigeria because of the inane belief that they were after Biafrans, who have been facing persecutions in Nigeria since the 50’s. This has temporarily backfired, as Boko Haram has turned its guns on them as they believe some of them are not tuned to their Islamic ideology. But that is not to say they have lost sight of their prime targets – the Biafrans. Biafrans should rather view this with a sense of concern.
Ultimately, as soon as Boko Haram gets a strong hold in the Northeast of Nigeria (as ISIS has done in Iraq), which they are about to do in a couple of months, based on ongoing events, they will commence their march towards Biafra.

Nigerian Army cannot defend Biafra
Many Biafrans are relying on the propaganda-based ‘might’ of the Nigerian Army for security. However, the currently ragtag Nigerian Army lacks the capacity to defend Biafrans against oncoming Boko Haram onslaught. Just as Iraqi Army failed the Yazidi’s and other tribes in northern Iraq so would Nigerian Army fail Biafrans. Today it emerged that Nigerian soldiers are running away from Boko Haram and have refused to deploy to battle grounds to confront Boko Haram. That is a clear indication that Boko Haram has mentally defeated Nigerian Army. Morale in the military is a basic and important weapon of warfare. Once there has been a mental defeat, it would only be a matter of time before the frightened army would be overrun. It was the same tactics that made Iraqi soldiers to abandon the northern tribes of Iraq, leaving them at the mercy of ISIS.
A Nigerian soldier recently confessed to the BBC Hausa service that “Soldiers are dying like fowl,” the soldier, who said “The Nigerian army is not ready to fight Boko Haram,” he said, explaining that soldiers were not being given enough weapons and ammunition to take them on.
“Boko Haram are inside the bush, everywhere,” he said “They [senior commanders] are sacrificing soldiers,” he said.
Even the vehicles the soldiers were expected to use were old armoured cars that were not up to the job, he added.
In addition half of current Nigerian Army and security forces are made up of Boko Haram sympathisers, who have been primed to switch sides at the appropriate time – albeit very soon.
Biafrans must start making preparations on how to defend itself. War has been declared on them, only the myopic are yet to see it.
