@ siriusblack: kudos for a thread like this. I've been following thus thread from day one and I love it. It has given me a different view of what the army is facing upnorth and I commend you galant soldiers for the sacrifices you guys have made for people like us to be able to live in peace and go about our business smoothly. May God bless you all. Hinestly,at some point,I was pondering on quitting my business temporarily,to join the army to end this boko haram mess but I couldn't make the decision cos of those dependent on me. I had to look at the issue of their well being and what would happen to them,should the inevitable occur. However,I'm wondering if the army can make use if some kind of unorthodox method in this war. We all know how deadly the ebola virus is and how fast it kills. Can some of the insurgents in captivity be injected with this virus,and then released to the camps of the boko boys. We use it as a decoy in getting each of the kidnapped girls released. We all know what would likely happen to them in 30 days time. One infected insuregnt alone,can infect the while camp. As they bury the dead,they contact it. This would definitely weaken the fighting capabilities of their foot soldiers. 8 Likes |

SiriusBlack: Nigerian Army officers investigating insurgent presence, and possible "sympathy" in a village. It is best practice to process suspects/informants separately. One person tells you one thing, you work on the next person with that little info. (Basic police work). |

SiriusBlack: Might be a good idea, but expect the entire North to be infected in a month..they simply don't have healthcare mechanisms to handle that, should it go wrong..secondly, that idea is unheard of..lol It can be worked on carefully. Certain areas should be demarcated and restrictions should be placed between movements from certain points. At worst,it would take a toll on the immediate communities adjourning such camps and it would only affects such areas. If properly planned,it can work. moreso,the entire area can be set ablaze after the scheme has been effectively planned and implemented. A special unit made up of military men,health experts and paramedics could be sent in to do the cleansing of the hood after the objective has been achieved. |

Currently they are occupying a town, introduce it and have the whole nation infected in months...this is Nigeria! Well,maybe I don't have enough info and ideas on how these guys work. Was just thinking of a quick fix solution to erasing these guys. That was why I said they should inject the insurgents captured and released to their camps.,with the hope thaqt the thing would start taking a serious toll on them before they are able to carry out their next assignment=. It's just a suggestion though. 1 Like |

cirmuell: You guys should stop already, this is not some Hollywood movie...any other method is fyn by me but ebola? You don't wanna imagine the aftermath of it. Ok,fine. It might not be ebola but we can tinker along that line. We have microbiologists and laboratory scientists in the army;can they work on developing viruses that are deadly and also developing the antidotes for them incase it comes into contact with service personnel while trying to administer it? Maybe bullets can be laced with such and injured insurgents can spread round camp. Basic objective will be to weaken enemy camp and reduce their fighting capabilities. 1 Like |

With the Boko Haram terror group having now kidnapped the wife of The Cameroon Deputy Prime Minister no less, a more substantial presence of Cameroonian forces and materiel will very likely be fielded to counter the trans-national threat that Boko Haram has become. Looking at the picture of that machine-gunner standing in a sand-bagged firing position, that zig-zag shaped trench in the background reminds one of published photographs depicting trench warfare way back during the First World War, when thousands of lives were lost on both sides, very often over just a few yards of land separating those trenches. There must be few front-line duty posts more fraught with tension than crouching in a trench while scanning the scrub-land in fading light for enemy snipers, and knowing that there as yet is no available night-vision gear issued to help remain in the fight after the sun sinks in orange and gives way to the night. To the hombres and Amazons fighting for freedom against the terror of fundamentalist slave-raiders, the free world salutes you, and tips its hat in recognition of the valor and sacrifice on display by Nigerian troops posted to the Sambisa war front. If the cost of issuing regular infantrymen with night vision gear is prohibitive for the Nigerian government at this stage, then it is ESSENTIAL that at the very least, sniper teams MUST be issued with night-vision rifle sights. 1 Like |

SiriusBlack: Weapons recovered from insurgents.. Wow ! this is a fair haul. A clear reminder that even if we dont see it on the news our boys are fighting and winning battles daily. The Nigerian Army really needs to up its game in the PR area. In the USA, they even publish names and combat reports for all medal awards for acts of bravery. Here we award medals very hush hush and no one ever gets to know of all the bravery of these heros. Imagine the inspiration this would give to young people in this Country who are slowly begining to believe that no good can come from Nigeria. (WHAT IS NATIONAL ORIENTATION AGENCY DOING FOR GOODNESS SAKE) But for the thankless job by Sirius and other guys like Beegeagles blog, no body would know what is going on in the North East. Una well done. Someday this country would be in a position to reward you guys for all this good work. 4 Likes |

I, SiriusBlack, about a month ago, started this thread on this wonderful platform called Nairaland to show Nigerians the struggles and successes of the Gallant NIGERIAN ARMY through pictorials..the thread was all I did with my spare time, uploading photos and encouraging Nigerians that the Army was working to make the average Nigerian safe..Thanks to guys like Henry's intelligent analysis of weapon systems, EasternLeopard's quite unorthodox tactical advice, Jakumo's frank assessments, IbnSultans ceaseless encouragement, Komekn's constructive criticism, quid's insults, adeyemik's comments, cirmuell's early morning greetings(I see ya bro!), Chris365's encouragements and all other friends I made here while doing this work, we built what can be said th be the best social media thread in this country...I enjoyed all the appreciation of this country's fighting men who toil day and night in the trenches fighting for peace..I was flipping. A popular Defence blog today, when I saw something that broke my heart and almost drove me to tears..while I have never admitted to being a soldier, I felt like the COAS's comments were aimed at this threas and all another defence blog we all know about...I felt sad and disappointed..the COAS referred to internet campaigns for the army as work of "Unpatriotic" and "Disgruntled" elements...my heart sank...all I wanted was some P.R for this war on terror..since all we were fed was inaccuracies on SaharaReporters and co..The Army chief, I believe, simply means that he does not want us to do PR for the Army anymore...perhaps Olukolade can handle it...anyway, I decided to respect his wishes and stop...I still have 654 photos in my archives, with 63 coming in today...but, now, ill stop now...Let the army do its work itself..not to give "disgruntled" elements like me..lol...the journey has been good so far...for now, its Goodbye..ill only resume posting if the Army officially hints that I can continue..till then, wish me luck, pray for me, as I shall, for you all...
