Same old story by political soldiers. Truth is that: 1, without sabotage, only a battalion of Nigerian soldiers armed with crude guns alone could have defeated Boko Haram. 2, some sets of Nigerians sabotage Nigeria army fight against Boko Haram. 3,the saboteurs do so because they share the same religious objective with Boko Haram for a country governed with sharia criminal codes. 4, these soldiers writing petition and granting interview to the media flout military regulations. 5, these soldiers petitioning foreign interests are doing so for the interest of APC and power shift, just like the interest of many Boko Haram fighters. 2 Likes |

This report validates GEJ's remark that over the decades, the Nigerian military had been left ill-equipped. We commend his bold step to re-equip the military with state-of-the-art equipment. Kudos GEJ! 1 Like |

And buhari claimed he equipped the army when he was in power even OBJ calling others corrupt could not even upgrade the weapons been used by the military. This proves GEJ right, that no single gun was purchase by the past leaders notwithstanding they are military men. Shame to them. GEJ, please keep doing your best. 2 Likes |

midolian: Much of the problem has its roots in your final line. People who feel the need to plead to 'god(s)' are not ready for democracy - democracy entails promises made being kept; in addition to holding other human beings to account for their decisions. There is no supernatural power involved. |

watchindelta:my thought. There are many secrets about the happenings in this country, which if exposed, will not take hours for this country to start boiling and a month for regions to go thier separate ways. Its unfortunate many are just following sheepishly. Histories and incidents should be documented and printed for us and the coming generation to learn from. Imagine the Nigeria-biafra war is not taught in schools so people should know the gravity of war and what it has cost us. Rather than seize the opportunity of the FOI act to do that, many journalist are seeking for brown envelopes while lawyers are seeking for quick money through court cases. God help us. 1 Like |

midolian: So, are you saying Military Hardware is 'Guguru' that you buy off the shelf? If the Army has been equipped to the tooth by previous govts, willl it take 72hours to move to war front? Our previous engagements at international fronts have been impressive because all the required are available to support the Army (most especially the intelligence report). In other news, Obama sent a bill to fight ISIS and he envisaged 3 years at the first instance. Why is he not saying 3 months with all the military might of the USA? In Nigeria, we expect a magic wand that roots insurgents in few days. http://edition.cnn.com/2015/02/11/politics/president-obama-isis-authorization-military-force/index.html?sr=tw021215obamamilitaryforce1230pVODtopPhoto |

Sunnybobo3: The logic you have applied is beyond what a common janjarat can comprehend, trust me. I can say this as a matter of fact, never in the history of Nigeria has the NA been this equipped. We even have drones raining hellfire on the Boko bastards, we are the first African country to use armed drones - ahead of South Africa, Egypt, Algeria etc Talk of T72s, talk of the Bigfoot MRAPs, talk of the many variants of attack helicopters GEJ has bought. Honestly, GEJ's PR handlers are very crap at their job. If an APC government should manage to do one hundredth of what GEJ has done when it comes to equipping the Nigerian military, they will make noise about it for 10years. The Nigerian Military is that sophisticated. 3 Likes |

Nigerian armed forces cannot produce soldiers of better characters than Nigerian society had supplied. The lack of strategy and soft belly shown by Nigerian soldiers in the fight against the ragtag outfit called Boko Haram are damning indictments of Nigerian society. Nigerian society is a pack of jackasses. I wonder if any Nigerian soldier will recognize any latest battle tank if he or she sees one. |
