Taking out enemies from a long range is easier for snipers. There was an American sniper terrorists in Iraq tagged "Alshatan el Ramadi" (Devil of Ramadi" because of his numerous confirmed kills from long ranges. Can't we buy sniper riffles and train snipers? |

Every military surely do have snipers but without proper intelligence, there's almost nothing a good sniper can do. A sniper hunts based on intelligence. I can only pity men of Naija military right now. Most of the dudes there are having a feel of guerrilla warfare for the first time with no proper training for such. 7 Likes |

Do you know how many American top soldiers and seals died during the Benghazi incident including the US ambassador to Libya. America will always call it "a well coordinated attack". Main reason they heard little or no info on it and the little suspicion was just dropped off as a mild suspicion. Information matters irrespective of your armory, arsenal or strength. And yes Nigerian army has well trained snipers. Terrorism in their comfort zones like sambisa are not fought with just snipers. Boy do you even know the land mass of those northern states? Niger state land mass is more than the entire south east zone. What should be your number one question is how many soldiers do we boast of s a country with 180 million citizens. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Even if they have snipers at the camp boko baram bursted, it would be of no use cos they caught them unaware. BK came with sophisticated weapons and even double/triple the size of our armies. Chad exposed our guys 1 Like |

MajorJeffery: So you're still talking about guerrilla warfare? How is it guerilla warfare that you were notified in advance that you will be attacked, and then you're eventually attacked as promised - at your own base? This is full blown, 'face me I face you' frontal warfare between a weak state actor and a non state actor. Full stop. It's no longer guerilla warfare in the real sense. Boko Haram isn't sneaking around. They're in your face. In your bases, again and again. Let's stop making excuses for these incompetent cowards in the Nigerian military. 14 Likes |

People talk anyhow.. I know for sure NA has snipers, but most snipers I know targets and kill their enemy when he is in a near static position (not running or walking). It's hard to snipe an enemy when he moves about. Furthermore, a sniper won't be that suitable for a boko haram attack due to the following reasons 1. The area is very large, and open: there isn't a really suitable sniping position to operate from. 2. When a sniper lock in a target to shoot, other enemies close by remains a probability. Because, you can't just concentrate on one target and u don't know the position or location of other enemies. 2 Likes |

Hedonini:I quite agree with your assessment that the Nigeria military is incompetent, because if they are not incompetent, how was there no information about possible enemy movement? We have surveillance planes, how come none could pick up pictorial movement of heavy artillery? What about our surveillance drones? Anyone making excuses for the ineptitude of the military high command needs to get his head examined. How can there not be 24 hours aerial surveillance of the entire Maiduguri that sits on the fore front of the war against boko haram? My honest assessment is that even the Nigerian soldiers are way to relaxed for one in the war front. Until we tell ourselves the gospel truth, our military bases countless fathers, brothers, nephews, uncles, fruends will continue to fall by the sword of boko haram. 4 Likes |

Na on top trees the snipers go climb? Most of those bases have no sniper positions. Snipers can only operate within cities or terrain with tall structures for concealment. |

BafanaBafana: According to the report, The Bh guys dressed as a military officer. Our boys were caught unaware and it was due to lacuna at the Chad's border. I wrote somewhere here that both Fulani herdsmen and Bh would soon resume attacks. It is political. My conspiracy theory; Before the primaries there were several attacks. The goals are below 1. For financial gain: In every attack, settlements follow in order to avoid further attacks. They (politicians) had raised enough money for primary election, probably why they stopped the killings for some time. 2. To undermine the FG: We watch movies, we saw how Bh was used to undermined GEJ's government. Same thing is playing out here. 3. To reduce population of a particular community loyal to a party: Both PDP and APC are culprits. The politicians know where their opponents would have majority of vote, in politics, any means is a means to win. Having said that, they(politicians) need money for campaign in 2019. Nigeria army, soldier, police infact all our forces should be aware of these selfish politicians. You may call me prophet of doom, we should be expecting more attacks before the 2019 election. Politicians have sold their hearts to devil. I only pity innocent masses. It is well 2 Likes |
