[b]STATE OF OPERATIONS IN THE NORTH-EAST AS OBSERVED BY SOME CONCERNED OFFICERS

1.    We the concerned officers participating in the North East Operation Zaman Lafiya do resolve to write this letter for the following reasons:

a.     To save our country Nigeria.

b.     To stop the bloodshed of innocent officers, soldiers and civilians in the North East.

c.     To appeal to the president of the United State of America Mr. Barrack Obama, United Nation Secretary General Mr. Banki Moon and other world leaders to as quickly as important to intervene and urge President Goodluck Jonathan to do the needful in addressing the issue of insurgency in Nigeria especially in the North East.

2. As members of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is our responsibility to defend our country Nigeria which we are ever ready to do so as the call arises. But firstly, the civil authority has the first responsibility to equip us effectively to enable us to carry out such task. This is common practice all over the world. As professional officers and soldiers, we did not want to go public with details of our frustrations concerning this operation because doing so will boast the moral[e] of our enemy. But the persistent neglect of our plight made us to do otherwise.

3. It is well known fact that of recent, a commanding officer from this theater of operation wrote a letter to our President intimating him of a few out of numerous problems affecting us in this operation which we believe Mr. President will address. It appears Mr. President has chosen to ignore it because none of his relations are among us. In this 21st century, how can an accused [be] a judge of his own case? That letter clearly exposed the rot within the military authorities concerning this operation. This is because, the Army authority that was accused of poor administration in that letter, set up a kangaroo investigation that harass[ed], intimidate[d], and forced the officer to deny the authorship of the letter.

4. We authoritatively learned that, the Army authority succeeded in forcing the officer to deny the letter through the Provost Marshal (Army) who happen[ed] to be of the same tribe with the officer concern[ed]. For President Goodluck Jonathan to ignore such kind of allegation made us to believe the rumor going round that he has a hand or knowledge in the so-called Boko Haram. We are also aware of how the funds meant for these operations are being looted through the office of the Chief of Training and Operations, Major General J.A.H. Ewansiha. Despite our strong [belief] in democracy, we condemn a democratic government that condones corruption, especially in its military. The President is reported to always turn a blind eye to issues of corruption. For instance, the ADC to Mr.President is presently one of the richest officers in the army. He owns properties in choice places all over the country and even abroad. We are going to make public details of his wealth and assets at the appropriate time.

5. We are appealing to all well meaning Nigerians and leaders of International Community to please speak out with loud voice in [order] to make President Jonathan to constitute an independent high-powered committee to investigate the content of that letter written to him by the commanding officer. Should this request be ignored, the resultant consequence could only be imagined.

6. We stand bold to state that we are speaking the minds of all the officers and soldiers in Operation Zaman Lafiya.

This is really bad and very sad.

This is dangerous game. This is time to think before acting

the ball is in GEJ's court.

Professional Soldiers Now Turning To Professional Politicians. God save us.

""You don't want to go into public details of your frustrations because doing so will boost the morale of your enemy"". This guy has no chill, I guess is one of their cheap propagandas at work This One Na Love Letter

hMmmmmmm!!! I smell lies n conspiracy..y e b say na saharareporters go get dis letter.. but seriously gej should look into dis I believe BH r still existing cos of d rot in our system..something is wrong somewhere...

Because he doesn't have a relative there? Lmao this guy is a sure member of Boko haram, continue writing your love letter

scam reporters at it again, that heediot will stay at his APC acquired mansion in USA, write one nonsense, post and say its the military. so who and who signed the letter? what made it worthy to be published?

Don't just read it, listen to it, whose voice do you hear? does this sound like a soldier? a rugged? I dont think so. same writing pattern scam reporters use to write all their Love letters.

Cheap talk....
Corruption in the army did not start today. It started in the hay days of Buhari & IBB though they try to sugar coat their failures and cover it up with cheap propaganda. Passing all the bulk to one man's table because he is the sitting President doesn't add up. Even OBJ couldn't deal with Army corruption effectively hence he sacked top army officers. Leave GEJ alone. The problem does not start and end with him. Even you all complaining now when you get to prime military positions tomorrow, you will do worse than the current ones. Stop making yourself a stooge in the hands of these political jobbers of a party called APC because of the coming elections.

Despite all this Is President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Really Bad? He has done well. I challenge the Buhari supporters give me 10 things Buhari has achieved for this country.
1] Goodluck Jonathan signed FOI bill that

25,000km) which Obasanjo and past Govts
abandoned and you say Goodluck is bad.

budget But Obasanjo Sunk billions of dollars

elections whereas the ones conducted under
Obasanjo are Shameful and national disgrace yet
you say Goodluck is bad.
6] Goodluck established 12 new universities, 9 in
the North to improve learning and knowledge and
increase the Jambites admission rate, yet you say

Northern abandoned street children and those
deprived of education by their own people and
you
say Goodluck is bad.
8] Goodluck has been building dams and
improving
the country's power from 2500mW to 6,000MW -
And successfully privatized the sector which
many
analyst believed is the best way to go and you

9] Agriculture have been revamped and for the
first
time in Nigerian history, Food prices came down

YOUWIN and you say Goodluck is bad.
Now do you think that General Muhammadu

he
was in his 40s, if you vote him?
What else do they want from President Goodluck

APC is a party of propaganda so we all know where these demeaning reports are coming from. It all about 2015 and the fact remains that no matter their propaganda and mudslinging, BUHARI WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT... NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

GEJ TILL 2019
SULE LAMIDO 2019-2027
THEN GEJ 2027-ARMAGEDDON
Haters go and hug your street transformers

Ok GEJ have heard you. Saharareporters = Propaganda reporters. We will supply more arms to you guys after the election. Kindly manage the one you have and bear with the government.

The more you look the less you see.

I have a gut feeling that there is an 80% chance that the new above is false. I smell sabotage among the ranks and file of the army.

Just heard in the news today that 5 officer were arrested for the attack at Baga. They were informed of the attack but refused to act.

ARE U SURE U SPEAKING UR MIND OR UR MIND IS SPEAKING UUUUU?

@ControlX...you forgot the railway line that has been resuscitated after years of inaction. Maiduguri to Port Harcourt by rail will soon be commissioned. Truely GEJ is working.

On a final note, GEJ may not be the best but Buhari is simply not an option.

Every wise heart should know that this portends danger to the unity of this country. History will never forgive GEJ if there is a breakdown of law and order among the rank and file of the military.

Infact, this will lead to balkanization of Nigeria with different militia in control of different parts of the country and an endless war of attrition. The resultant bloodshed and confusion cannot even be imagined.

I have no reason to doubt this letter giving the rate at which soldiers are being court martialed at this time. And also due to my interaction with an army officer I gave a ride sometimes back.

I think it is time the council of state told the president the plain truth that some corrupt senior military officers needs to be punished in order to restore confidence and the morale of the rank and file.

And the issue of welfare and adequately equipping the army, especially those at the theatre of war should be giving a priority if we don't want to experience a wide spread mutiny leading to chaos and anarchy.

He that hath ears, let him hear.

L

Hope this is not one of those fabricated letters again? God bless President GEJ! God bless Nigeria!! God bless us all!!!

Land for Sale

v

This is a serious issue that the president needs to keep the political matter aside and concentrate on the issue of people killing and people dying

Pumping so many trillions to equip the army and still all this happens, it seems more like business to me.

Corruption kills the
Education Sector
Judiciary Sector
Electoral Sector
Health sector
Power Sector
Revenue Sector
Aviation Sector

Now the Nigerian Army is being compromised.
and on and on....

Jonathan's incompetence is in every sphere of his life even the military is tired of him

Some parts of the letter seem politically oriented. However, it names some specific names, which is helpful, but I was hoping for more info.

Hmmm.

Whither Nigeria ?

[size=15pt]CORRUPTION, Nigerian Army Heading Towards Rag Tag Status[/size]

Nigerian Commentators Kayode Ogundamisi and Temitope Olodo shared their
views on The Boko Harram Insurgency

gh

I must sell all these Lands b4 Election..

Later he will come and tell us say those that are accusing him of sponsoring boko haram are mad.

What does his body language towards the insurgency tell us? When was the last time he condemned a boko haram attack? He was commiserating with France on the terrorist attack that killed 17 people and didn't say anything when 2,000 Nigerians were slaughtered in Baga. Why are helicopters dropping off supplies to the insurgents? No aircraft should be in Nigerian airspace without the knowledge and approval of FAAN and thus the FG. And Reno Omonkey falsely tried to link SLS to the insurgents. In Owoye Azazi's own words, a few days before his "accident"; PDP is boko haram and boko haram is PDP.

Yet some people who escaped from the psychiatric ward of Yaba hospital will come and blame Buhari.

As for all of you in support of GEJ, I will keep praying that your lives will be run exactly how GEJ is running this country. Amen. You are welcome for the prayer don't menshun
