Did you listen to what was said about BH not being a national issue but a regional and international issue that transcends borders. Did you also listen to the unanswered questions as to why the international community is so reluctant to help vs other regions eg in the middle east with very similar problems? Did also listen to the last words the soldier said when asked how he felt about continuing the fight against Boko Haram despite the challenges- He said and i quote "IT IS A CALL TO DUTY". I felt very very proud of that soldier. 7 Likes |

lacasa:But Buhari said soldiers should not kill boko harams because boko harams are his fellow northern muslims: https://www.nairaland.com/2095243/stop-killing-boko-haram-members Should we now chose Buhari, a tribalist and an islamic bigot, to govern a secular state like Nigeria? Don't you think christians will definitely be shortchanged?. |

The day I stopped watching Chicken news network was one evening they were talking about chocolate and cocoa and of course the world's highest producer of cocoa, can you believe that a they said that A WHOLE IVORY COAST DOES NOT KNOW WHAT CHOCOLATE LOOK LIKE. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't dreaming, can you imagine that they assemble a group of people and brought out a bar of chocolate and asked them what it was, the 1diots said they don't know, and the cnn journalist broke the chocolate into peices and gave to yhem and they kind of tasted it and started jumping up and down, shouting "c'est bon! c'est bon! c'est bon!". That was the day I vowed never to have anything to do with them, be cause I personally bought several bars of chocolate in Abidjan and Yamousokouro, different flavors, I bought the Mambo brand and you will see where it is written fabrique en cote d'ivoire. And maybe that is why my lovely Femi Oke left, those nincompoops. Ah Femi, that's a looooooooong time ago. 6 Likes |

Over one trillion in defence budget in the last 4years. Where is this money bike? The governor of Bornu State complained one time that our military can't match BK and people shouted him to shut up. We have seen or soldiers fled to Cameroon and Niger. That's the result of corruption. It a pity people here are still defending this govt reasons best known to them. 5 Likes |

doctokwus:People don't even see the bigger picture. Tompolo has a subsisting security contract with the government for the patrol of our water ways and "importation of arms" (according to NIMASA). Nigeria's army is underfunded and outnumbered, yet we hear trillions have been spent on defence!! How much arms has been made available to state actors through Global West Ltd?? Who has been the beneficiary of the imports made by the company above when we are sure it is not NIMASA, the NN, the NA, the NAF, or the NPF??

Just hear yourself dum.b gay, our military are more equipped than BH yet bokoharam will come over to their base,take away their properties successfully with any resistance than for our soldiers to take to their heels.

jamace:I hate responding to your quotes because they are completely idiotic most of the times. But if we were to put premium on this post, one would first ask: Did Buhari say they shouldn't be killed "because they are muslims" as you said?? The answer is "NO". He admonished negotiation just as was done with the ND terrorists. Secondly, what do you have to say about the president who said he can't kill or send the army to wipe out the terrorists because "they are his siblings and family members"??

PrinceMario: Pls answer these questions How many soldiers are in a battalion? How many battalion do you have on a barrack? Do you know how many book haram members invade a barrack in one swoop? If we can answer and analyze these questions, then we will know that the problem we have in our military is in the number of soldiers. Book haram invade a town or barracks in drones, not less than a thousand. You need to see the video and you'll appreciate the fact that our military men are trying their best to repel these terrorists who have resolved to die. 1 Like |

Collynzo9:Did BH attack the Baracks with bare hand? No,they used their sophiscated weapon to over power the soldiers and attempt to completely render them handicap by carting away those outdated weapon that military are using. Also our military seems not having thorough training, they seems lacking skills and ability to make use of those weapons effectively. I think they need thorough training from advanced nations especially the suppliers of those new weapons that they just delivered otherwise they will underutilise it and it may end up in the hand of those terrorists. 1 Like |

Goodluck Jonathan has proven to be weak and useless against corruption and insecurity. It would be extremely stupiid of us as a nation yo return this man to office for another 4 years. I don't believe Buhari is our messiah, but he is a change in tactics and methodology. If after four years he also fails to deliver, we will keep switching up until we find the right fit.

omenka: Trash this bro, you don't and can't negotiate with a terrorist. Secondly, Buhari comparing book haram with Niger delta militants shows that he does not understand the security challenges posed by this insurgent and as such will surely do a poor job handling them.his comment was highly irresponsible coming from an elder stateman like him. I'm not sure he can deal with boko haram the way he boast about solving it. Finally, president Jonas comment about that was unfortunate, but I think he didn't convey his message properly and that is why it sounded distorted and out of place. 1 Like |

SHOULDN'T CNN START WITH THEIR OWN COUNTRY'S PROBLEMS? WHY HAVEN'T THEY INTERVIEWED AMERICAN SOLDIERS ON THE FRONTLINE WHO LACK EQUIPMENT? U.S. soldiers lack best protective gear By Jonathan Turley I recently received a note from one of the few husbands who knows just what his wife wants as a holiday gift. The Army sergeant (who asked to remain anonymous) e-mailed me from Iraq asking my help in finding him a store to buy body armor for his wife. Both the sergeant and his wife are serving in Iraq, and both have seen action. But, like thousands of U.S. soldiers, his wife was not given the vital ceramic plates for her Kevlar Interceptor vest to protect her from bullet wounds. Instead, he said, she had to scavenge to find plates left behind by Iraqi soldiers — plates of inferior quality that do not properly fit her vest. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2003-12-17-turley_x.htm Study: U.S. Soldiers Not Adequately Equipped for War By Sandra I.
