Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Can a govt. say this?

​Garba Shehu is a typical example of most of the close aides to President Buhari and his presidency. They are cunning, manipulative, crafty but ultimately stupid. In the present-day upside-down Nigeria, where dogs become step fathers of lions, it is not strange that Garba Shehu should become a surrogate for the Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Defence Staff, Minister of Defence and National Security Adviser when Boko Haram sliced the throats of 43 farmers in their farms in Zabarmari, 20 Kilometres from Maiduguri, the Capital of Bornu State. Instead of Garba Shehu telling BBC, a juvenile story of the need for military clearance before farmers could go to their farms even though there were no erected military warning signposts informing that *Trespass is Forbidden* in the area, it is Nigeria's overpaid, overfed, and obese Army officers that should tell Nigerians or the world where they were with their troops when Boko Haram took several hours to slaughter 43 farmers like rams in Zabarmari without being detected. What the Army allowed to happen to the farmers amounts to gross negligence, dereliction of duty and incompetence which in normal parts of the world would have resulted, not only in dismissals but, court-martials for felonious stupidity.

Bad communication by Garba Shehu and FG.

It is up to government to notify citizens of no go areas.

Saying an area has been liberated from Boko Haram sends wrong signals to citizens they are free to go to such places, if Boko Haram attacks can subsequently be executed in such places.

That farmers were attacked and kilked means such areas have not been liberatedand secured from Boko Haram.

Mr. President you took an oath to rule according to the Constitution.
