!976 Tanks? when will these boko harams soldiers stop lying. But boko harams are collecting new weapons from soldiers like this coward, if he is even a soldier at all. If BBC wants to be fair to the Nigerian army, they will send a camera crew to the NE front lines and show the world, what weapons the Nigerian army is using to persecute this war. There're BBC reporters in Syria and Iraq, reporting from the front lines, why not send a crew to the NE, let the world see for themselves. Remember 90% of boko haram weapons come from the Nigeria army. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

The simple truth is, Gej and the people around him had assumed boko haram violence to be north against north ("wetin concern us, make dem destroy themselves na"). Even when chibok girls were abducted, Gej, Pej, and gejites never gave a damn about boko haram. But now that election is starring them in the face, reality has dawned on them. What cluelessness! 2 Likes |

We believe this lends credence to the school of thought championed By Mr President himself that not even a rifle was purchased by past regimes including Buhari's since 1976....and we can also opined that this systmatic weaknening of the Nigerian Army was as a function of those at the helm abrogating power (before GEJ's tenure) to themselves and preempting anyone and/or opposition from agitation or coup. 3 Likes |

Me thinks it's too late for GEJ And even if he raises allocation /funds there's still going to be a huge problem GEJ has to crawl on his chest and knees, kiss Obama's feet and beg for mercy /forgiveness otherwise no country will sell weapons and military hardware to Nigeria It's better for him to leave barcanista: |

kolonigga: I guess if its not excuses about 'old' tanks, it will be 'old' generals. I am just wondering if Boko haram are using the best US made brand new tanks. I was also wondering if the Chadians that have bloodied Boko haram in the last few days since entering the conflict are using brand new American tanks. Truth is that NA has no desire to fight Boko haram. Moles have continued to supply operational info to BH and many sympathetic army commanders have simply abandoned all our weapons and equipment intact so that Boko haram can 'capture' them and re-arm themselves. I hope President GEJ realizes that he must accept AU military support in order to beat Boko Haram. He simply cannot beat them using NA alone, even if he gives NA all the weapons in American armory. 7 Likes |

Good point, but they don't need to sacrifice Americans to this God forsaken government, all they need is a drone, But then clueless at the top said no more interference, just yesterday PDP's talking drum issued a warning to an American diplomat for poknosing Nobody wants them to be fair to Nigerian army, we don't need to see the front lines, US has no obligation to sacrifice people for Nigeria Tell the clueless at the tip to end the reign of terror that he sponsored through his cabinet. atlwireles: |

Rubbish story from the usual faceless, nameless, unit less Nigerian soldier. Wat happened to all the recent acquisition..the t72 tanks, mraps, ifvs etc. Annoying thing is, typical NLanders will not bother to do a lil research but will rather just open their mouths n spew d usual concoction of ignorance and foolishness. Question is, why is it that the foreign media are so intent on running the Nigerian military down... emphasising the negatives while under reporting the positive, even now when the tide of the battle has turned against the Boko haris food for thought.. 7 Likes |

When this insurgency resurfaced in the 2000s, the NA sent the latest weapons it had and those ones where seized by BH. Now in desperate measures they've gone to bring out the ancient ones to fight the battle. This is what you get when you don't prepare for uprisings. This is what you get when your selfish agenda comes before your duty to your people. This is what you get when you lack the charisma to motivate soldiers. This is what you get when you insult the international community by your disregard for human rights and lack of neutrality in dealing with national issues. This is what you get when you put the fate of your country in the hands of invisible/non existent dieties. This is what you get when your are not prepared for leadership, but still want to hang on to power at the expense of everyone else. This is what you get when your advisers are all clueless. This is what you get when you are a failure as a leader. |

If this is true as claimed by the military, then it's very unfair. we would have seen the end of Boko Haram if our govt channels enough money to get a munitions for our military like the way their (Boko Haram) sponsors do. No wonder our soldiers fall every day. |
