Shortyy:

woman, reason like a human being for once

ModiKen:


She is totally correct.

If she isn't please explain to us why GEJ and Minimah waited till Feb 14th (six weeks before the March 28th election) before dealing with Boko Haram within the six years of GEJ's administration.

Ngasky:
good riddance. the incoming chiefs should make the army to regain their lost credibility

Segadem:
Soldiers go soldiers come

centjamie:


Is Buhari also waiting for six weeks before election to address the same issue?

ModiKen:


She is totally correct.

If she isn't please explain to us why GEJ and Minimah waited till Feb 14th (six weeks before the March 28th election) before dealing with Boko Haram within the six years of GEJ's administration.

ModiKen:


No he isn't because six weeks into his administration he is already probing those that were tasked with dealing with Boko Haram but failed to do so.

Next Minimah and other sevice chiefs.

And after enuf evidence have been gathered....next stop GEJ.

If you have lost someone or maybe one arm or leg to Boko Haram madness, u won't mind whatever means is used to get those that should have taken steps to put an end to those terrorists

centjamie:


Can't the probing and the crushing of boko haram be done simultaneously
Or rather,the crushing first,then the probing later.

My point is,the probing isn't the most important thing on the list drawing our scale of preference.BH is on a killing spree,there ought to be a counter attack to stop the killing instead of dissipating all these energies into this resultless probing akin to that of Lamido and his sons.

Shortyy:

And you explain to me why BUHARY hasn't dealt with them since May 29th

Yea, he's probing people while Boko Haram is Bombing people. And people are supporting him. Hmmn. We just don't deserve good governance in nigeria. We deserve this crap call Buhari.

What a shame

ABUJA — No fewer than 25 Generals, who were affected by the appointment of their juniors as service chiefs last Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari have been given six weeks to voluntarily retire from the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The immediate past Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Kenneth Minimah, disclosed this yesterday while handing over to his successor, Major General Tukur Buratai at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja.

By army tradition, the affected Generals cannot serve under a junior officer to them and must mandatorily go home.

It was a moment of stock-taking and sober reflection as Lt. Gen. Minimah, handed over the mantle of leadership to Maj. Gen. Buratai.

In his speech, Minimah, who said that some very senior unnamed officers have been given notices of retirement, urged those affected by the development to take the notifications for retirement in good faith.
He joked that while the affected officers were given six weeks’ notice to proceed on retirement, the retirements of the former service chiefs were simply relayed to them on the radio.

While Minimah used the occasion to “showcase his achievements” while in office, Buratai, conscious of the arduous task that lies ahead of him, maintained a calm mien, listening to his predecessor with rapt attention reeling out his accomplishments.

Army was able to reclaim all Nigerian territories
—Minimah
In spite of the mounting ravages of the Boko Haram insurgents, Minimah boasted that the Army under his control was able to reclaim all Nigerian territories taken by the sect and reduce them to petty thieves and a band of criminals.
Minimah also said that the army under his watch was able to push Boko Haram to a point that it remains a ‘certain defeat’ by the Nigerian army.
He stated that because of the measures he put into place as the CoAS, the Nigerian Army had been built into a strong fighting force that can stands its own anywhere.
He said: “Today, I am leaving behind an Army that can hold its own against any adversary without batting an eyelid. It is an Army that has vowed never again to concede any inch of Nigeria to terrorists. It is a legacy I am leaving behind and I implore you to sustain it.
“As I hand over today, I am happy to inform you that the Boko Haram terrorists’ insurgency is at a certain defeat.
“During my tenure, we were able to reclaim all territories earlier lost to the terrorists, sufficiently degrade their potency and reduced them to a band of criminals and petty thieves.
“Success did not come cheap. It came with the sweat and blood of all of us. In the face of unusual events, we had to take unusual actions. Some may adjudge us as being too strict especially in dealing with cases of cowardice and indiscipline in the field.
“But, we had to do what we must to arrest the drift towards chaos that the army was heading. I am happy that the result in the field today justifies our actions.”
Minimah, however, explained that he had to take some drastic measures to save the Army from collapse and anarchy, apparently referring to the court-martialling of many officers and men taking part in the ongoing war against terrorists for indiscipline, cowardice and mutiny.
He said he was able to boost the morale of officers and men under his leadership and free military institutions and facilities earlier seized by terrorists in the Northeast.

ModiKen:


Why wld u put the cart before the horse?

He attacks them and they keep coming. Whats the use?

They won't go away until u get their logistic and financial sponsors.

Haven't u noticed they have changed their modus operandi?

How do u stop suicide bombers when u have no inside knowledge of how they coordinate these attacks with the backing of their intelligence suppliers?

My brother, he is slow but very very steady and calculative. I like it that way considering the long term benefits.

ModiKen:


Cos he is going after their sponsors and suppliers of logistics and finance.

Best way to deal with a stubborn grass, cut it from the root.

Shikena!

BTW, u haven't answered my question.

Why did GEJ wait till six weeks to the election before showing Boko Haram our military strength?

Guess he was sipping ogogoro and saying to himself, "No need to worry, they wld vote for me even if Boko Haram has taken more than 13,000 lives".

I'm from the Naija Delta but I disapprove the way GEJ handled the Boko Haram issue and the nation in general.

ModiKen:


Have u heard the phrase "deal with a persistent problem from the root"?

What do u do when u have a stubborn grass that keeps popping up on ur lawn despite cutting it from the top on several occasions?

toshmann:


What d'you do when a cancer patient is in extreme pains and can't breathe?

Ans: give him oxygen, pain killers, . . . . . . Then draw up a plan on how to combat the cancer, which will be a long term plan. But the pain and breathlessness can't wait.

Lesson: Urgent issues are handled urgently, chronic issues are given long term efficient plan

Stop the killings, then investigate corruption which will take yrs to stop.

Get the fox out of the poulty and after the fox is eliminated we can now worry about who opened the door for the fox to enter

Common sense
