They were met with anger and frustration. Please come and help us do leave us. Please help us. Where is the president . Where is the government . The government has denounced the special interventions quoted for katrina state by the end of april 10 years after the 2 book goes with seas plunging nigeria into its kids. Nothing crisis. To get the insights into the security situation in nigeria, weve invited num deal by c onto the program. He is a Senior Advisor on nigeria for the International Crisis group, and he joins me from lagos. Welcome to dw, and use that with him. Mr. Obaskey, i want to begin by asking you about what the old forties can do to ensure that the children who were kidnapped in kaduna brought home with a free brother options. Um, the 1st of calls is to conduct a military operation to try to rescue the children. But of course, we all know that that would be quite has that us because the im groups that came up last week, you know, use the truth. And i said human shields and we couldnt kill huge casualties. Lets think on the auction is the one that the government has always preferred, which is the liberal sheets. And then because sessions to be kidding up us in order to free the children and how the north risks to the children. But at the same time it fits into continuing infinity, which we have seen over time. But the federal from which we are considering were definitely being consumed up very strongly by, by the government uses does keep pressure on the phone from somebody ive talked to us to get pressure on them, limited the temperatures on with that kind of move um sucked in psychological project using ministry and assets on so on, on to the way of them done and then theyre ready to make a good negotiation and then remove the children. I think those are the options that are available now. Otherwise the government is made difficult situation. Understood um when, when vocal around kidnapped the 2 books school goals in 2014, there was a geologist. Most of the groups said that it was opposed to girls receiving wisdom education. And we know that many of the goals were forced to marry their taxes today. So court band, its all carrying out these attacks various on groups. Has this now evolved to just becoming a Business Model without the hottest ideology is absolutely correct. I think over time, let me, let me ask you what time they keep not these that have been treated as part of that, you know, just a company in how you know, received it. So the background people, well, i mean, the number of the kid, nothing incidents and the number of them and them, the victims have been by criminal, lovely addition to that we called and found that some of the most waste all by you know, just to optimize guns in other parts of the country. So at this point, the grid consent, hes not really so much about the, the, just the groups in the northeast. They are still active. They still dont have drops people. But the vast majority, i think we could stay a bit about him. Its the 90 percent of im outcome. I mean, bye bye bye. Find these groups and all that coming out of positions around the country. So it is no model in criminal activities. That energy, how do you start to be part of the problem is that these groups are able to access guns and it looks like easily. So how is this happening that im groups have access to, to this kind of weaponry and the resources they need to be able to carry out these attacks . Are the items have come from the missionary public from base, from this the hill um some sauces in a, trace them right back to the collapse of the government media and they live florida that got into the sahara. And this i helped, you know, from that point, but then basically even nothing bought as of the country during these every public. I mean apartment, the parents say a lot of times and all the legal merchandise coming to this area. So a little bit coming from outside, but theres also a lot of local fabrication that hes taking place. So they, they make the numbers are constantly building up the optimal. But im just trying to cover all the kid nothings. Im making a lot of money that provides resources from them to be once more. So when you say revolving door, i need to continuously feeding process. Thatd be the next truck morning that starts money. Basically they basically get exec drums and then that helps them to build up, you know, increasingly possible. And most of the points that they are able to bring down, penetrate aircraft, which we have seen in recent times. Mr. Obaskey looking in from the outside. It seems as though the forward season niger have lost control of the security situation. Would that be your assessment of the thing that the author does not look and feel of the security institution, but what were seeing now, even though the alternatives have looked at more strict it as a result to do with the problem in fair respects. First of all, we dont seem to, well, but doesnt seem to be the will to deal with a problem besides with you once in a while. You know how to, if we could not think of the rate of the ridge of incidence appropriate president gives directives marching for that. So immediately, you know, to, to, to go out to the kid, love of and that kind of thing. But soon, you know, thats that with up, but what do you find that the lack of wheel . There is a level about what to do to solve this on a long term basis. I mean, there is not who has the comprehensive plan that details what has to be done about, you know, kind of took responses, not kind of took responses, the room of the federal government, the route most people went on so on in a concert. And we, each month, at the moment, im in the 5th dimension and the result is, you know, havent been applied to the, the number of troops is still very small. The number of bodies is deficient and equipment wise. They also very launching, especially with technology, the logistics on communications that they need to block Settings Group something for me. I mean, i put each instrument there is more than attempts to go determine if was to go after these groups and bring them to justice. So thats a rim of infinity, you know, that continues then that gives the impression that the government is not quite serious about dealing with this problem. I mean, this is like the generative shifting freshman imaginary. All right, that is done deal by say Senior Adviser on nigeria for the International Crisis group. Thank you for your insights. It this. Thank you very much. My pleasure. Youre watching the news africa still to come. The women who got a 2nd lease on life and is making the most of that. Ill be talking to a nigerian senior abided joy on her plan to go from nairobi to lagos on a motorbike. The 1st to this, the 13th african games underway in gun and some disciplines they give athletes the chance to secure qualifications to this is a lympics and parents. Now, unlike the f calling that took place in neighboring court of law, the african gaines with 54 nations competing has a spots and much needed euphoria and cross bolts attention. Isaac analogy in across has more gun is likely team has home advantage of this. He has africa games in a cry. So the money brought, he is one of them. Hes leaving a child who to dream of competes and that the highest level of the supports that the 2 is african games gives him a shot at the winning meadows for gunner crowd. But theres a big goal of reaching the olympics games in july. He says it will be great to have life and gotten in to be on the podium. That is the fast boys mean on to put you on here. Then this tools that were lympics. So we are looking for it, like i said, to collectively get in the middle for the country at least from 50 for the issues of fighting for glory in suite to 9 different disciplines or the games. Each of them i only qualifies and its ready sites and goal for the at least competing to fulfill the sporting dreams. But it hasnt all been going smoothly for the organizes, the least with the completion of manuals on this piece between state court is false. The games to be held this year instead of last august. These issues hop largely or by shadow the interest around the games locally police. If your head of the games have you, not too many streets in the house have billboards for more than the veins thats mix following the games. Struggle for some i do know rides and there was nothing. Now somebody seems to, we didnt get to actually do what, whats going on. People are not here. Number 3, i see the billboards and see the post, the know, but what is actually going on . What are we doing when, when we talk about games, how many games are we playing . I think if im you can see where theyve been, offer me. Organize is belinda lo, enthusiasm on cool beach and financial difficulties. They fully realize not as expected for so many readings at a time that was supposed to peach in terms of branding, in terms of obesity, coverage sets in both a lot of financial challenges. And so id meet at least the for the husband reach the present to that we all expect the goodness banes 195000000. 00 on infrastructure for the games. And the fees are funny. Comic crises and questions i know being asked about the impacts of hosting the games on ordinary citizens. And i am now joined by my colleague lou id. I think we from dw sports is good to have you at the big table at little light. If i want to begin by us, can you why all the africa games not getting some of that attention to what the f con told them. And for example, got the african games are no longer as popular as they used to be. Many of the continents top athletes do not participate and it because the professionals overseas and or like ask one way you have the top for but thats come back home to fly, to fly to the countries. The for both on the mental desk on games is on, on that 22 championship and nobody really too many people dont really care about the twenties and also it is not only a few. Uh, uh, events uh, confined uh, events for the lengthy game so. So the top popular to market that dont go to the f can games anymore, unfortunately. So these are some of the easiest, but also you find that you dont even have International Media broadcast partnership. You know, so the games only being broadcast locally under the national tv. And so in the International Coverage of it, these rise really low. So if youre outside of gone, its really hot. You actually be able to watch the games to do the game. Select a big sponsor when theres no um, media coverage, then sponsors may not see mileage that you can get, you know, so because they, people can hardly watch it in any other part of the continental, you know. So and then like i said previously when your top box and its on the continent, i know the, the, i know to see eyes on the attempt in shape. So it goes by without so much of traction instruction. And then the sponsor is kind of pulled back in being part of it. Unfortunately the whats the organizations been like, uh, the host donna how, how is the games progressing . Gonna build to a new spot facilities, the universal gun uh supposed to be doing the leg on and a bunch them on support center which is on indoor supports, possibly 24. 00 and old games of cost more than 200000000. 00 to renew reduce the end of the room over the so im kind of hospitals for 4 oclock thats you know, so in terms of organization, pretty good. Ive spoken to a few generalist one ground on the said, delighted. But then a few days ago, lights, uh, went off the football match and went off with ya. So it showed perhaps lack of prepared vision or lack of from, with organization on the ground. But generally people say its, its a, its a good game. So, so, i mean, you mentioned 200000000. 00, they forgotten this clearly made a big investment typically countries, but to host these tournaments because of the benefits that they spend to gain. I mean, a is going to really gonna benefit from, from this Huge Investment that theyve made, gunnar, weve been a few drums. Whats facilities, the news with facilities that is on will not be available for Young Athletes to grow in, gone up. But then long term, i mean also during these games you have lots of people coming in 4005000 documents for many deal stand hotels and media and visitors are staying what was in the hotels, you know, so theyll be hotel costs, revenue from food and all these things, but in the long grown, many countries have no really odd. Um uh, benefits long term benefits from you. I have to con games and fold down. Uh also i still getting on the peach and um to make the middle is did you try leaders or who knows . Yeah, thats really a good one for them. Well thats we will leave it for now. So what day did we from dw sports . Thank you. Next to a bite to joy, who has the plans, she wants to be the 1st african woman to ride a motorbike from mamba in kenya, to lagos in nigeria.
