There may indeed be a kernel truth to those persistent rumors suggesting that rogue elements high in the ranks of Saudi Arabia's government are in fact the sponsors of the Boko Haram terror group, whose mandate is to Islamize the entire African continent by force of arms, from the Sahara Desert to the Atlantic seaboard.

If the current head honcho in Saudi Arabia is capable of ordering last month's gruesome strangulation death of dissident journalist Khassoggi within the Saudi embassy in Turkey, then it stands to reason that the same Saudi leader, or lower ranking officials operating at his behest, are in fact the shadowy financiers of Islamic terror groups operating all over the globe, encompassing Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria and South East Asia.
You are not far from the truth sad

How can you call in air support when the army now makes use of mobile phones. When there is no network coverage in that particular area then there is no means of communication.

One thing I noticed about our military is they lack communication gadget like satalite phones and radios.

Our police no even get radios. Very pathetic


No means of communication? It means they were sent to certain death. What moral justification does Buratai, indeed Buhari to remain in office. What does it cost to purchase satellite fone? What is happening to the millions of dollars appropriated to fight Boko Haram?

Honestly, this Buratai has to be the most incompetent service chief Nigeria has had in a while now. Why he is still serving is a surprise. In saner climes, he would have long been replaced. Under his watch, the Nigerian Army has become very rich and also an haven of corruption.

RIP to the dead, and may your blood be upon Mohomodu Buhary, APC & anyone who still wish the ‘Super Clueless’ terrorist to continue beyond May 2019.


Instead of Buhary and APC looting $1 Billion they should have given the money to Boko Haram to stop killing our soldiers. Painful!

This is not an external aggression but a brainless infighting between our well trained soldiers and some almajiris created by the Northern elites.

Come to think of it, Buhary promised to name the sponsors of Boko Haram, almost 4 years now, where are the names?

Buhary promised to end Boko Haram within few months and lead the battle from the front, he rather absconded and push our brilliant young men to their untimely death.


General Mohomodu Buhary has failed both in security and economy and should not be allowed to continue beyond May 2019, if he can’t be impeached already.

Nigeria is bleeding. A land that use to flow with milk and honey now flows with Blood of the innocents.

So many sad stories today.
Tosyn Bucknor's death has brought so much disaster.
Maybe she was possessed.

There are limit to things even if you meant it to be sarcastic. Why bringing in Tosyn Bucknor's name into this. That is so cruel.

Many soldiers were killed and dozens of others sustained gun wounds when Boko Haram insurgents invaded their base at Matele Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State Sunday evening.

The incident occurred at remote village of Metele in the fringes of Lake Chad Basin at about 5:00pm.




A security source said the insurgents overpowered the military and carted away their weapons.

“They opened fire and forcefully gained access to the military base, we lost some soldier who stood to protect and some are yet to return. From what I got, they were outnumbered and overpowered.




“It was a sad day for us at the Theatre, the terrorists took the advantage of the bad terrain and attacked us, it was really bad on the side of the troops.” said security source.

An official who did not want his name mentioned, also confirmed the attack, saying “We got the reports that Boko haram terrorists attacked Matele village in Kukawa LGA on Sunday, the attack lasted for hours before they eventually penetrated the military base and now, the rest is the story.

“Our concern is they are becoming stronger and more deadly almost on a weekly basis, the military needs to rise above this, more manpower and intelligence gathering is needed to be deployed,” the official said.

It was also gathered that last Friday, insurgents attacked Kekeno village in Kukawa Local Government Area and killed many people.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buratai, represented by the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Abba Dikko, yesterday commissioned newly reconstructed road after it was named Heroes Drive” dedicated to slain and wounded officers fighting at the Theatre of Operation.

RIP.
Fighting a war without end in sight, a religious war.
.
Fact is Boko Haram says it's fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia Criminal codes.

Boko Haram emerged after the 12 northern Nigeria states adopted the use of Islamic Sharia Criminal codes.


Do the Maths to know that millions of Nigerians up north subscribe to the same objective with Boko Haram.

Southern Nigeria in bondage of one Nigeria.

Better for our military boys to drop that uniform, enmass.
Let Buhari and his Buharideens go and fight the monster they created.
Buhari is evil beyond human comprehension.

Dictators are allergic to reform, and they are cunning survivors. They will do whatever it takes to preserve their power and wealth, no matter how much blood ends up on their hands. They are master deceivers and talented manipulators who cannot be trusted to change.
As far as am concerned the hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Too many informant among them
See mumu?? So if the soldiers get out there, don’t you know boko haram will move into the cities and start their bombing campaign in those cities? They should remain there and die there if need be. That’s what they (soldiers) signed up for.

This is really pathetic. Are you saying that a fully trained army gets overpowered by people just brought together by some lousy religious misdirections? Sadly, huge amount of money is disbursed to the ministry of defence for further training, purchase of better weapons to combat these things but we seem to be losing the battle. Nigeria won't get better until we start putting square pegs in square holes.
this People U Re Saying, Were Also Trained Like Soldiersssss and Are Now Fighting And Overpowerin Soldiersss
