Odieshii toh bad. That's what has been sustaining the civilian JTF. I believe the military Oga @ d top will call his boys to order. The NA still needs to scrutinise the communities well for run away BH members after destroying their camps because the few ones hiding in the streets are still perpetrating violence.

make dem no fight o. For it not to look like the boko haram is charming them.

i pray these civillian JTF guys won't eventually metamophorsize and turn to a menace to the society.

Ahua abeg take am easy o, Oga. No let little matters create rancour in your rank and assistance from the well meaning vigilante groug, bikonu.

Stupid Soldiers. When they will be drafted to the war front you will see them crying like babies, some will even go to the media to talk rubbish as is NA is NIPOST

If its intimidating civilians that were they will show their power but if duty calls they will start ranting rubbish on TV.

They should be investigated and punished.

NA is just useless. they usually wear soulder high anytime they r having problem with civilians, if U try to intervene they transfer their madness to U for daring them. If not 4 the leniency of the man, he could have killed a dozen of those zoombie soldiers with his bare hand. let them cooperate to flushout the satanic Bokoharm.
