DukeNija:

Your stupidity is sublime and your daftness is unprecedented!

atlwireles: 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.

lilprinze: chi is it that bad so BH have turned our soldiers to cowards to the extent that they are scared of coming back to their own country until they are escorted back home. BH have ridiculed and disgraced our soldiers to much enough is enough .

Osode:
like any full blooded Nigerian, I can honestly feel your pain and that off a whole nation, and its military, at this time. The pure and simple 'Sabotage' (many times bordering on outright Sedition an Treason) from all quaters (from the 'Same group of People', both on the battle field, and online) is simply breathtaking. But I'd want the likes of you, cococandy, Ucheosifo and all others to take solace in the fact that only a nation as tough and resilient as we are could still be standing after about a 'Hundred years' of this kind of Sabotage. It should be clear by now to any one, that the likes of farem, vedd and oduastates are the simply the 'Online Equivalent' of an old 'aglomeration of forces' from the Sahara Desert and a small faction from The Anlantic coast, that conived 4 their own benefit, to put nigeria where we have now got to pull ourselves out of. And we are succeeding by the day. The only 'Let down' here by the way was 'EasternLeopard' (judging from all his posts an political leanings), but it is forgivable if a man is not 'on top of his game' all the time. One of the most desparate and pathetic of the lot (check all his posts) had no more 'straws' to grab at from their local and online media war machine, that EVEN THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE CAMEROONIAN AUTHORITIES THEMSELVES that has now put all thier 'Relishing' and 'Gloating' about thier own army to shame, must have been so painful 4 him, so once again 'The BBC' had to 'come to the rescue'. ...Pray tell, so your BBC now knows what went down there on the ground in Cameroon more than the Cameroonian Authorities themselves!! ....hahaha.
God bless the Nigerian Armed Forces.
God bless my country Nigeria.

foyeks2001: Chai, Nigeria is dead under GEJ

whatlyf: What is sad about this? Why are some Nigerians so unpatriotic? Some are even calling the Soldiers "cowards" when they themselves can't stand up to street touts not to talk of terrorists with higher fire power.

God bless the Military

traware: Nigerian soldiers heroes?These sh.its?I hope you know you're mad.Oh wait...your husband is a military man isn't he 'LORETTA U'?So that's why you support these numbskulls eh?I dey hiss at your total foolishness

lilprinze: chi is it that bad so BH have turned our soldiers to cowards to the extent that they are scared of coming back to their own country until they are escorted back home. BH have ridiculed and disgraced our soldiers to much enough is enough .

Missy89: This is funny and shameful at the same time.


The military really needs huge reforms

larryUG:
Listen to urself. the way u sound shws u r obviously ignorant of military procedure. when u enter into a sovereign country's territory without permission and prior information to them, u surrender ur arms and ammunitions to them in order to shw u aint hostile, then they will escort u bak to ur borders and then hand over ur weapons to u. that is the standard procedure. have u eva heard of US Planes escorting Russian planes, and US ships escorting rusiian and chinese ships out of their territory? please be informed. find out the meaning of 'escort'. i know it means a diff thing to 'protect'

cococandy: You go tire to explain.
Dumbskulls with free mb everywhere.
Are you ready?

enigmaotr: They actually thought our Troops were Insurgents disguised as Soldiers, so they demanded they lay down their weapons. What I'm not sure about is why our troops found themselves on that edge while the insurgents were still within our border.

traware: Fucck Nigerian soldiers

Mcbussy:

Guy,join the army and pick up arm if u feel u can do better....its a natural thing to run for cover when faced with overwhelming fire power.

Go and watch documentaries about the best militaries and their operations.you'll realise the kind of air and tactical support and assistance they give to their soldiers.even their assault rifles are more sophisticated than ours. Check out the american M4A1 assault rifle for example,it has a sniper scope that can help u take out an enemy from a distance where he(d enemy) can only try his luck at hitting you.

Here they'll give you a Kalashnikov with 2 magazines and ask you to go and face 20mm calibre machine guns....what do u expect?

baby124:
Are you telling us the Nigerian government has lost control of it's armed forces and cannot find the so called saboteurs?

larryUG:
What is shameful about that? pls google about military escort. find out what escort in military terminology means. I can explain further to u if dont mind buh do some research 1st

deeobserver209: Well said.
Internal and external collaborators had always been the stumbling block in the fight against terrorism. There are military officers who are very sympathetic to Boko Haram. These are the guys that gives out military secrets to Boko Haram terrorist.
Imagine an instance where the military will prepare for a surprise attack on Boko Haram only to be ambushed along the way because someone gave them out by tipping the enemy off. The terrorists on getting the information prepares on time, arm themselves to the maximum and either lay in wait or lunch a deadly ambush on our military forces. Later in the day, the media will report that the Nigerian troops were defeated because of lack of weapons and amunition. Winning battles and wars is not by how much weapons an army have at its disposal. It's about tactics. Nigeria’s case is even more challenging because the army's military tactics are bend over and compromised. Never had our military faced this kind of challenge before.
I totally believe in the capability of the Nigerian Army to crush Boko Haram. All they need to do is embark on an in-house intelligence gathering to identify these saboteurs within. Our military needs to be wary of their collaboration with foreign military personnel especially the US and France. The major challenge today is these key Saboteurs within and outside that continually give out military tactics to the enemy.
We must never forget that an enemy within is more deadlier than an enemy outside.
More grease to the Nigerian Army.
