Listen dude,

Those news sources got their stories first from a single source, Saharareporters. They first broke the story.

Again, it is not possible, neither did it take place. The news sources on the ground in borno state haven't reported it, neither have credible news sources like channels or NAN reported it.

The Army have refuted the story ( let me even paste the army's comment).

You expect me to trust foreign news sources for a local nigerian story over a credible nigerian source.

Are you even thinking well?

Nigerian flags don't go about flying in all nigerian villages.

Not even boko-haram have claimed any such ownership in their multiple terrorist videos.

They can as well claim, GEJ is shekau, and the government in abuja is run by Boko-Haram.


I ain't playing no race card dummy. The news sources are the ones playing the race card.

Easy to prove lies...

Boko captures key Nigerian town, did I hear the phrase KEY TOWN ?

Damboa? I swear by my ancestors graves that I have never heard the name of that town in 28 years until few weeks ago !!!

Key town? Of how many people? Damboa is a remote village 99.9% of Nigerians have never heard it's name untill now.

How many banks, schools, hospitals are in that farming village? ZERO !

Now next prove...

All those international media sources publishing this claim, how many of them have journalists on ground inside Damboa to confirm the story? White men journalist inside Damboa that they say Boko has captured and the Bokos are busy looking at white men journalists roaming around collecting live story and have not kidnapped the foreign journalist for $1 million ransom? LOL....Fools....LOL...Big time lies from big time fools cheesy

I have posted Damboa full story from Nigerian army that is inside the war zone, not a London or New York based journalist 10,000 km away reporting fake news that he does not have courage to travel to war zone and confirm.

Army official release is that Damboa declared support for Boko Haram and betrayed Nigerian soldiers guarding the village, they murdered the Nigerian Lt.Colonel in cold blood and opened their houses to Boko Haram fighters to live in happily together.

We can do Israeli tactics for Damboa and level it to ground level in 5 minutes with Bofors FH-77 artillery, but we will not k.ill civilians with Bokos, what about children who are innocent, shell them all with Bokos? NO !

Nigerian army has published the situation report and I posted it here last week and I repeat again... Nigerian army sends 600 commandoes to Damboa, we will pick out the Bokos with rifles and leave the civilians alive....we are not murderers of civilians...TELL AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

The Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) is always in the news for the wrong reason. We all remember the Baby Eniola saga, when an infant was given HIV-infected blood. The then Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof. Tolu Odukoya did not the take decent administrative step of resigning, he was forced out by the Federal Government. We thought we had seen the end of inept and incompetent management, but the current CMD, Prof. Akin Oshibogun has surpassed every inglorious index of mismanagement and corruption.

As I write, the multi-million Naira water project awarded by his administration has never supplied water to the hospital. It is a shame that while the newer plants do not work, the old water plant still functions, though the output is inadequate for the hospital. The hospital has consequently been taken over by “mai ruwa” of Idi-Araba and Mushin. It is common sight to see them pushing their jerry cans of water into the hospital complex. No one knows the source of the water being sold to patients and staff alike. The essential nature of water to healthy living and treatment of patients has not moved the CMD to take actions to ensure adequate water supply to the hospital. What manner of professor would have to be told that water is life?

The power situation in the hospital is a sad commentary on the gross incompetence of the CMD. It is common for the whole hospital complex to be in total darkness with the exception of the Accident & Emergency (A&E) Centre. Patients are treated in the wards in this dark situation! Little wonder, avoidable deaths have resulted from this situation. Night duty nurses are seen with torchlights fastened to their heads with scarves to provide semblance of light! The CMD definitely uses alternative power supply in his house. Only him can explain why he is not bothered or moved by this situation considering that some patients are in critical condition and need to be monitored periodically.

1. I see you dont understand the meaning of the phrase "Key"... let me enlighten you: It sits on a cross-roads.
2. No one cares what your army says, they are biased and are well known to release nothing but propaganda.

Wall Street Journal and multiple other sources have confirmed that the black flag flies over the town

There is video footage of Nigerian soldiers slitting the throats of civilians

We dont care about your argument.
We dont care what you have to say.
We dont care about your opinion.

We care about what can be proven and that alone.

And what has been proven is that Boko Haram holds Nigerian sovereign land and that Nigerian soldiers are committing War Crimes

Also, you confirmed that you lost the town:

Nigerian army sends 600 commandoes to Damboa, we will pick out the Bokos with rifles and leave the civilians alive

Why do you need soldiers to capture a town that you control?

@AUGUSTUS FIND ATTACHED TRUE REFLECTION OF NIGERIAN POLICE STATIONS MUMU

For whoever wants to know why inefficiency is the lot of the Nigeria Police, the starting point may be to closely watch the state of things at police stations across the country.


Apart from the poor physical state of many of them, they are largely run on charity.


Investigations shows that some of the police stations in Nigeria get as low as N35,000 as allocation from the force headquarters per quarter.

This is the reason why in all the states of the federation, many police stations rely on philanthropic gestures from members of their host communities and proceeds of bribery to function effectively. And that is why inscriptions such as ‘Donated by Welders Association’, ‘Community Development Association’ are constant features on many items and facilities found in many police stations in the country.

From rehabilitation of buildings, to fuelling of patrol vans and generators that serve the stations, many Divisional Police Officers appear to have turned into beggars of some sort, asking for a certain amount of money to make a statement when one goes to report an incident.

Even after taking such statements and there is a need to make an arrest of those reported, the policeman on duty asks the complainant to drop another N2, 000 to fuel the police patrol vehicle.

"SAPS had made several attempts to get residents to vacate the buildings for major structural upgrades.

“The condition of the official quarters poses a serious danger to anyone residing or using the buildings. Unless immediate steps are taken to save the buildings, they may collapse and cause harm to life, limb and property,” it said.

It stated that no other alternative official accommodation was available in the Durban area. The 16-storey Natalia Court and five-storey Somtseu Court do not have lifts that work, raw sewage is spilling on to the playfield, deep cracks have appeared in the structures and water tanks are contaminated and outdated.

All four buildings have illegal tenants and have gained a reputation as being havens for prostitutes, druglords and foreign nationals."
