Very sad when I recollect how "brave" the military was against defenceless civilians in operation python dance and crocodile smile...

Now see how a ragtag Boko haram unit is cutting them down like meat.

Nigeria Army needs to go professional. Get off the streets and allow police do their work .

This is a commendable move by the Federal Government. Since the metele Carnage, the response of the Federal Government has been swift and very assuring as needed to boost the morale of troops on the frontline.

They have not bought any real weapons. All what you have been hearing are lies and propaganda.

The $1billio this govt "appproved" since April has still not been released to the military even if the govt made us believe they ave done so. The military would not have said any thing but for the recent disaster at Melete.

The other $500min or so approved for the 12 aircrafts from the US that you also keep hearing about is still a long way away: productio has not started and the date Nigeria would get it is 2025(if am not mistaken) i.e after this govt would have left even if they won the next election.

This is the most useless Govt in the hishory of this nation.

The presidency has ordered immediate arms procurement of critical equipment for the armed forces in line with the Federal Government policy of purchasing such items from the original manufacturers on government-to- government basis.

The president also directed the enhancement of the welfare of troops, particularly those serving in operational areas within the country, Guardian reports.

Minister of Defence, Mansur Muhammad Dan-Ali who disclosed this yesterday during a meeting with the service chiefs at the he Ship House, Headquarters of Ministry of Defence, ordered the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, to relocate to the North East pending when the security situation improves.

He also directed the General Officer Commanding the 8 Division, Nigerian Army to relocate his tactical headquarters from Sokoto to Gusau, Zamfara State to oversee the conduct of Operation Sharan Dahi.

The minister mandated the chief of defence staff and Buratai to effect changes in the operational commands of Operations Delta Safe in the Niger Delta, Lafiya Dole in the North East, Sharan Dahi in Zamfara and Katsina states and Awatse in the South West. Dan-Ali said the changes were to enable them meet up with the current threats and security challenges in their areas of responsibility.

The directives came as a pro-democracy organisation, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) said the special forces of the army fighting in the ongoing counter insurgency in the northeast needed special weapons to fight the Boko Haram terrorists.To this end, the group urged the National Assembly to pass a legislative framework which will make funding of the defence sector as a first line charge to ensure efficient and effective roles by the military to stabilize national security.

HURIWA lamented that the $1billion said to have been taken from the escrow account was yet to drop at the Defence Ministry, wondering why the government could allow bureaucratic bottlenecks to slow down the process of releases and utilization of fund for the prosecution of the ongoing war against terrorists.

The group also canvassed the creation of what it calls ‘War budgets’ and the time line for national security objectives that must be achieved by a particular set of service chiefs, and a specified tenure so that other competent professional and combat-tested and trusted military generals are appointed to replace the serving military chiefs so the counter terror war does not become a commercially viable sector to be used by them for personal aggrandizement.

These were contained in a statement signed by the National Coordinator Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and National Media Director Miss Zainab Yusuf.

Is the givernment just realising the situation our gallant soldiers are passing through? Court-martial proceedings were brought against some soldiers some years back for protesting of neglect in the north east, and they were subsequently dismissed from the Army.

So we should share our precious votes between Moghalu, Durotoye, Duke, Sowore the mercenary etc, instead of using it to support the most viable candidate with an actual realistic chance of sending Buhari packing, Atiku?


Go back and tell BMC their plan has failed.

Our votes is for Atiku, and not to be wasted for mini-Omisores

The Boko Haramist buys weapons without disclosing where and how this weapons were purchased. It is the responsibility Of the Nigerian security sector. to put up technicalities on how to combat the dreaded group.
It is pointless to inform Nigerians on their plans on the purchase of weapons and how the intend to end the insurgency.
