NeuroBoss: where are the 75000 troops sent to the harmless state of Osun? I'm sure BH could not have overpowered such a large number of men even with their crude weapons as long as they aim their targets and follow simple military procedures.

Please you people should cut out this bullshit about ancient arms.. I use to peddle this fuckery until I sat down and thought about it.. Its not the size of the gun that matters. A Catapult in the hands of an expert marks man is always going to be deadlier than a Gun in the hands of an untrained idiiot.

Our Soldiers have the upper hand, ancient weapons or not. They have the logistics, official backing of the government, training and outnumber Boko Haram. They have Air superiority, infantry and weapons. Boko Haram have sophisticated arms, e no pass 50 Calibre and 30 Calibre GPMG's which the Nigerian Army has in excess. Boko Haram still dont have Helicopter Gunships nor do they have Cannons, Mortars, Armoured Tanks, e.t.c..

The truth is that it is either our Infantry are poorly trained or the Army strategists are fucktards or the Army in general are poorly motivated.

nduchucks: 3 attack helicopters, 4 tanks, 2 jets, a single drone, and 1,000 foot soldiers, are enough to wipe out any BH formation or offensive. These millitary commanders, including the Commander-In-Chief, have the blood of these gallant soldiers on their hands., Incompetent fools!

I am beginning to believe that GEJ does not want BH defeated. nansense!!

mkpakanaodogwu: you guys should stop talking about this deployment of solders to osun,it is not about number but strategy,equipment and tactice,blame the service chiefs or do you expect jonathan to lead them into sambisa?.

RebelLeader15: Where is Sen Musiliu Obanikoro and Alhaji Abdul-jelili. Both minister of defence and police

RotrEmmanuel: Bro please praise this guys for once its not easy.
we have gunships, RPGs etc in excess and lots more. Do you know our Oga at the top hardly approve the use of such heavy weapons so that civilians won't be affected?? boko haram strik without knowing who is dying while our Army are busy protecting us and fighting at the same time. abeg who has the greatest task?

fydence: na so...una sabi strategize for internet well well...

Omexonomy: why not go and join the NA and cotribute ur quota.

Omexonomy: why not go and join the NA

MzJackBaueress: The saddest part of it is the wives of the soldiers have now turned widows and children have become fatherless.
I hope its not the soldiers who were stopped by their wives and children from going into battle. That will be very sad!

EbolaParasite:
Actually, the problem is lack of decisiveness from above and the need to please the UN and amnesty international. The nigerian army is trying to fight this guerilla warfare while being as humane as possible. They are trying to abide by war codes and limit civillian casualties. In the past, and under the supervision of the ABLE Baba Iyabo, they would have razed sambisa forest to the ground. Even insects would not have been spared. It would only take one day. Our problem is the USA and UN dictating how we should fight our war. If Jonathan takes d bull by d horn, we can finish this nonsense in one week

EasternLeopard:

Trash

The pics posted by Sirius did you see bows arrows swords spears or guns tanks artilleries helicopters etc

Pls don't type what you don't know

At least Sirius posted pics of offensive weapons

igbsam: If Mere taking over a small town results to the loss of such large number of soldiers. Then going to sambisa forest would be a suicide. Just imagine the number of Boko Haram Army that would counter the attacks of soldiers in Sambisa, knowing fully well that they are familiar with the terrain. Our Soldiers needs to be well equipped and Air Strike should be our main means of Getting this boko boys on their knees. God help the Nigerian Army. Rest In Peace to the deceased.

LANRYUS: But I think defence has N960billion budget this year, average of N3billion a day and they still can't get better arms to combat BH. So sad indeed!

igbsam:

But he is right........Foot Soldiers no fit stand this weapon wey boko haram dey use so. Only one bullet from their gun go pieces 3 soldiers at once. Its time the Nigerian Military go all out offensive on them with every firepower we have especially air strikes. Sebi dem say dem buy drone. Make dem use drone take do surveillance and pin point the place these idiots dey, then use air strike wipe dem finish.

Meanwhile, abeg Nigeria no get APACHE HELICOPTER ? Only this one fit do damage to their camps.

backtosender: ABUJA. — Heavy fighting between troops of the Nigerian Military and heavily armed terrorists of the Boko Haram sect fighting to retain control of Gwoza town in Borno State, was on-going last night with Airforce attack helicopters providing air cover as the insurgents remained recalcitrant in the battle.

In fact, a top military source, who spoke to Vanguard last night, said the insurgents’ fire-power in being able to withstand the fire-power
of the military forces was a source of concern to the military command in the epicentre of the war on terror.
There were reports of casualties from both the military and the terrorists while the sheer number of the insurgents and the fact that
they were heavily armed prompted the ground troops to request for reinforcements from the air force to provide air bombardments.
Units of the 213 battalion Task Force and 234 Special Operations battalion both based in Mubi which attempted to retake Gwoza Township from Islamist militant Boko Haram were said to have retreated and sent signals for air support as a result of unrelenting gun fire from the insurgents.
While a source said using the word defeat of Nigerian soldiers fighting to retake Gwoza town from the grip of Boko Haram insurgents
was childish, he noted that the commanders on ground were only making strategies for more effective offensive.
Reports from the battle-field had indicated that following three days of fighting over 100 civilians and several soldiers were killed
Vanguard gathered that some officers (names withheld) who led the attempt to recapture Gwoza and other towns from the terrorists were feared either dead or captured by the insurgents and their whereabouts was a source of concern to the military authorities.
Vanguard was told that due to the worrisome terrain of the battle area, the terrorists were able to ambush some of the soldiers and
demobilise some of their equipment.
There were conflicting figures on the casualty figures on the part of soldiers killed, but it was not possible to get confirmation.
Recall that the Nigerian military at the weekend recaptured Damboa town after Boko Haram overran the town and planted its flag.
As at the time of sending this report, Vanguard was expecting the Director of Defence Information, Maj General Chris Olukolade to reply a text questionnaire on the situation of the fighting in Gwoza.

Or there is sabotage from within.

Cannot rule that out.
