IleIfe2: Despite all available facts that point to why the fight against Boko haram had been unsuccessful before now, it's surprising that haters like you can attribute the latest onslaughts and successes to electoral push, it's unfortunate. Whether Boko haram is exterminated before the election or not, it counts nothing in the impending victory of the president and his party on March 28. 3 Likes |

diluminati:Jonathan sold d destiny of the north away?? HOW? GEJ has been taken desperate measures to boost the fight against terrorism in the north n all u can see is that he sold d destiny of the north? Was Jonathan there when Borno politicians were romancing n equipping boko haram for political gain Was Jonathan the one who killed Mohammed Yusuf, the head of Boko Haram, that eventually escalated the violence?? Was it not yaradua that killed him? It's on record that no past president has equipped our force half as much as Jonathan. From asking for help from the US, to dialoging with BH, to going to the black market severally to get weapons. WAT HAS JONATHAN NOT DONE?? can you compare him to Obj who blatantly gifted the bakasi Peninsula to Cameroun?? At least guj is fighting back. And as at the last time I checked, he is winning the war. 7 Likes |

Whilst we might argue that what is going on in the north eastern part of the country is unfortunate and tragic. I dare say the north brought it upon themselves. Sheilding the insurgents ab initio thinking they were doing themselves a favor and pulling down the GEJ administration. Until the scales fell off their eyes & they realised these terrorists are equal opportunity killers. Muslims,Christians,Atheists etc,it makes no difference to them. Suddenly they woke up from their slumber but by then it was too late. The insurgency had become monstrous and deadly. Read the statements of Buhari and other boko haram apologists in the past and you'll get a sense of how things played out in the north 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Anything to defeat those Bastards and Criminals. Tell me which country that don't use mercenaries when fighting. As the president puts it, when weapons are bought from different parts of the world, you need time to train your local soldiers. But Nigeria is facing a war now and there is no time for training, rather they had an agreement with the suppliers that the training should be done on ground and that is why you are seeing some of all this trainer.

ignis: I doubt its authenticity but I buy the logic, arming a man to go and fight his brother is not the easiest of task. This same millitary that have performed creditably with the same weapon over the years on foreign mission suddenly became overawed by a ragtag army because it is difficult for them to shoot to kill a fellow compatriot. It is disheartening to aim your riffle at underage millitants knowing your own brother may be among those kids shouting drug induced Alahu Akbar as they march to their death. Then we have the social cultural and religious cum political mix. As unfortunate as it may sound, using neighbouring army and mercenaries is the sure way to quick and effective result, it is also a last resort measure. 3 Likes |

The story has changed from chad doing the fighting to hired mercenaries. Try as hard as you want, you will not take victory from the Nigerian army.

Any formula to destroy these Buhari boys called Bokoharam is more than welcomed!!! Anybody that complains about this will die like those killed by bokoharam, Say AMEN. Who on earth could fault any formula that will destroy bokoharam? Who? Are you human? Are you normal? Are you Buhari? My dear president, if you need to hire 1m mercenaries from south Africa and Russia, please dip that your long hand into our reserve and hire them to kill all those 7th century worshippers ... also kill anyone that will complain. If you want to die like shekau, quote me. Nonsense APC |

So-Called Mercenaries are Technical Advisers Posted by PRNigeria">PRNigeria on March 13, 2015 Senior military commanders have described stories in major international media and culled by local newspapers reporting that Nigeria is deploying hundreds of mercenaries against Boko Haram terrorists as a joke taken too far. The officers insisted that the foreigners are technical advisers that are providing trainings and instructions on the use of new armaments recently procured by the Nigerian military in the war on terror. Some top commanders who spoke with PRNigeria without wanting their identities disclosed insist that it is part of propaganda to paint Nigerian military as incompetent to deal with the insurgency by desperately ascribing recent spate of successes to ‘others’ rather than the gallant troops’ efforts. The source recalled that only recently, some news agencies ascribed such successes to Cameroonian, Nigerien and “battle hardened” Chadian forces but when it became obvious that the forces of those countries were mainly fighting along their own border areas blocking free movement of terrorists, “it became necessary to look for others” who are helping Nigerians to fight. PRNigeria gathered that the foreigners spotted in Maiduguri and other areas close to the theatre of wars are technical partners who are helping to train Nigerian forces on how to operate and maintain the recently acquired equipments which came from different sources. The source further cited the particular example of the maintenance technician, who died recently insisting that he was not even a combatant but a professional in fixing armour vehicles. President Goodluck Jonathan was recently quoted in an interview with Voice of America (VOA) confirming that Nigeria has some trainers helping to get troops well acquainted with the recently acquired weaponry. According to Jonathan, “we now have this technical people who are trainers and technicians, who are to train our people on how to use them, and technicians that help the maintenance, at the same time training our people how to maintain this equipment,” adding that two companies were involved in the training. The source recalled with regrets, the several years that Nigeria wasted while negotiating and appealing for equipment supply from the Western allies which were not only rebuffed but prevented other countries under their direct influence from selling to Nigeria. “The fact that we have foreign experts outside the United States helping to train our troops is not a secret but it is not fair for them to embark on this blackmail simply because we got assistance from other places when they turned us down at a critical period”, the source stated. When contacted on the story that mercenaries are fighting the battle for Nigeria, the Director Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade said “Sorry, I don’t have anything about that claim. I just know that Nigerian military and security forces are putting in all their resources, training and experience acquired over the years to address the security challenges. “Our neighbours operating under the auspices of the Multinational Joint Task Force are also backing our efforts from all our borders with them. We also have some offer of training and intelligence assistance from foreign countries. Some of these arrangements even predate the present operations.” By PRNigeria PRNigeria encourages institutions to be transparent in their information management as it provides news items from authoritative sources for free use by the media Read more at: http://prnigeria.com/2015/03/so-called-mercenaries-are-technical-advisers/ 1 Like |

And some are still deluding themselves that the Nigerian military is one of the best in the world! Isn't it funny that our fantastic military, with its outrageous budget, needs foreign mercenaries (and foreign assistance) to record any significant success against a "ragtag army"? As for the wages of the mercenaries, $400 a day. Seeing as no extra-budgetary allocation has been (or is being) made for mercenaries, I take it the money is coming from somewhere. The depleting foreign reserve perhaps or our "missing" $20 billion? *sighs* Whatever it takes to send those murderers and their sponsors away from here, I consent. Enough of the terror attacks! 1 Like |
