Hmm.. With all this defection and vulnerability from the Nigerian Army, the invasion and annexing of Cross River State by Cameroon may just be playing on their mind. 1 Like |

Two things are evident in this report: (1) This is a deliberate attempt to underscore the effort of the government to contain the bokoharam insurgency. I know those that backing and funding BH are behind this biased report which could be a calculated deception since there is no substantial evidence of any kind,maybe a video footage of something. (2) It is not unheard of that soldiers abscond during war time but it is unheard of that soldiers defect to another country's military,it is never done. The stupid report should have simply said that the disarmed soldiers are seeking some sought of' assylum' and not ' defected'. Pleases my fellow Nigerians that buy biased western media reportage on our dear country. The west is diabolic, all this terrorism chaos plaguing the world is actually monsters created by this evil minded white folks. Shit heads. 6 Likes |

THE greatest threat facing the nation’s war against the Boko Haram and other Islamist insurgents has to do with the unprecedented acts of sabotage that the national assignment is facing. Never at any other time in the history of Nigeria had the army been so bedeviled by internal and external undermining of efforts to rid the country of terrorists and other enemies of her unity and progress. The sabotage comes in so many forms. It is both within and outside the confines of the armed forces. According to media reports, some military officers with sympathy for the cause of the insurgents sometimes reportedly divulge critical information about the plans of the military to undertake campaigns or even funnel military equipment to their partisans in the enemy camp. This, we learnt, has led to the unceremonious cancellation of such campaigns to avoid putting officers and men in danger of running into ambushes. One of the greatest forms of the sabotage is misinformation. Many sympathisers of Boko Haram are very eager to approach, mainly, the foreign media to say uncomplimentary things about our armed forces . They create an impression of Boko Haram as an invincible force and Sambisa, their chosen camp, as an impregnable fortress. It is this misinformation and the subsequent avoidable losses in men and military material that give rise to the tales of real or imagined “mutinies” and protests among our men under arms. The military high command, as well as their supervisory political authorities, must take firm steps to discourage acts of sabotage against our men and women confronting the terrorists. We are fully in support of the assurance by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Kenneth Minimah, that the army will henceforth go tough on saboteurs and visit them with the strictest dictates of the law when nabbed and convicted of the crime. We are also gratified to note that army is on the verge of taking delivery of sophisticated equipment. It will surely boost morale among the troops and spur them to greater effort to flush the terrorists out of Nigeria. We call on the mass media to redouble their efforts and throw their full support for the armed forces. More efforts should be made to de-emphasise the dissemination of sensational and unsubstantiated information because we may be unwittingly playing into the hands of the terrorists. It is important for media houses to take a closer hold of their online editions and minimise their use by the terrorists and their supporters to achieve their evil purposes. The war on terror is not for the army, security agencies or the federal government alone. It is a collective effort. We must report suspected saboteurs to the appropriate authorities and keep our communities safe. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/going-tough-saboteurs/#sthash.2n15VuzI.dpuf 4 Likes |

comos: You don't get it and will not get it. I am not condemning the Army. I am angry at and condemning the corruption, lack of political will and political interference that has turned our once commendable Nigerian Army into a force that is now the butt of jokes and derision worldwide. It is embarrassing to hear the USA tell the world our army men are 'cowards' afraid/unprepared to fight and confront Boko Haram. I personally don't think our Army men are cowards but low moral, poor welfare and lack of adequate equipment will leave most men disinterested in conflict they are right to conclude is a 'suicide mission'. It seems our Army, because of desperate and power-drunk politicians, now only excel at intimidating voting civilians and unarmed individuals while they run away from heavily armed Boko Haram terrorists. You think it is wise for you to direct your venom at your fellow Nigerian and not at the politicians who did 'abracadabra' with the billions of dollar pumped into the fight against Boko Haram and insecurity? Bruv, face your front abeg. 10 Likes |

The Nigeria president should get a nobel price for being so dumb. The guy is just too daft to do anything. You have to feel sorry for those poor soldiers when all their bosses are glorified morons. How can you send those guys to war with inadequate weapons, how can the soldiers that are putting their lives on the line have to be begging the government for armours and weapons. Over 200 girls have been missing from this country for over 4 months now and our president is busy celebrating with the governor of Osun state over their election victory with over 5000 soldiers guarding them. This country is just a joke. 6 Likes |

Seems unlikely. Makes no sense. In which nation, even the most flea-bitten African dump of a Nation -does soldiers flee in such huge numbers? Are they Nigerian soldiers? What ethnic group? For instance, if they are Southerners, then those people dreaming of breaking up Nigeria in the South are living in a dream world because it would mean we're bringing up cowards. If Northern soldiers, do they share ethnicity with people in Cameroon - in other words, soldiers sympathetic to Bokoharam that are finding their presence in the Nigerian army, as saboteurs, compromised? None of this makes sense. More than likely one of those BBC wishful thinking. We need to hear the side of Nigeria authorities. |
