Centrifude: Chief of the SA Army has already spoken about the threat posed from Mozambique. So they know about it. I would reckon South African Special Forces have already made a couple reconnaissance visits to the area. 2 Likes |

darkelf: @ highlighted, this is why the word "Contingency" came to exist. If Nigeria military makes any at all, they need to add "How do we strategize to take into consideration the provision of logistics to Bokoharam by France and or other External powers as well as betrayals within our army and coalition members and nations. If, so far, we left some things to chance because we couldn’t muster the effort to consider and act upon them or because of financial consideration, we cant do so any longer. ...also knock the belief in Opia from the rank n file, wont be surprised if somthing as simple as soliders fate in charms plays a part in much of our loses |

bidex111:Those Nigerian soldiers are utterly silly. It is not a funding problem. Anyone who talks about funding being the cause of the disaster in Metele should be shot in the head. Each Nigerian gun-truck carries a 12.7mm HMG as a basic weapon. They had at-least 2 Tanks and prior Intel about this attack. It is a clear case of gross incompetence, Lousiness and indicipline. How many times would new weapons be bought for those soldiers? They are there voluntarily, not by force. They should do their job and stop fucking complaining and making excuses for incompetence all the time. The COAS should have been fired by now. The President is also very clueless about the security situation in the Northeast. Nothing has changed, nothing has improved. The Nigerian army is properly funded to do the job it needs to do. You guys and Beegeagles need to stop ranting about funding. Does BHT now have Tanks, APCs and Fighter jets? 8 Likes |

The Nigerian Air Force only has changed 3 different types of weapons alone in 6 years. They bought Tavor-21, Beryl and Arsenal M1. The service has received or placed orders for nearly 70 different types of aircrafts in the last 6 years. What is happening with the Nigerian military, budget after budget, yet these Boko-Haram guys can sack you from your bases? It's utter madness! 8 Likes |

Henry240:Yes I have my common sense, why will terrorist mail you their plan for the month? Isn’t that literally against their tactics of hit hard, unexpectedly and disappear before reinforcements and air support show up. So how did BHTs contact NA senior officers ? Was it via WhatsApp or Nigerian postal services? |

darkelf:"We need a major overhaul of these COs...". Don't worry too much, you don't even have to say it because that's all that they do,that's their only reaction to set backs like this. Even us that are not in uniform know how the army top echelon will react. |

jakeporeshenko:BHT has successfully attacked the Nigerian army over the past 6 months, it's well within the realm of possibilities to taunt the Nigerian army. This is what terrorist elements are known for, taunt friendly forces through any means possible. The Premium times report quoting a soldier on the ground confirms this. I have no reason to doubt the report. The soldiers were poorly prepared as has been the case for the last 6 months and paid dearly for it. What do they mean by driving through a barb wire mesh and getting stuck? 1 Like |

Many on here are rightly blaming the FG for underfunding and under-equiping the NA. At the same time lets tell ourselves the truth this Govt. wont change thier policy towards the Army in the next one month.How many soldiers wont live to see the new year because of the FG. To those at the front improvise adapt you have families waiting for you back home. 3 Likes |

bidex111:Boko Haram jihadists abducted around 50 loggers near the northeastern Nigerian town of Gamboru close to the border with Cameroon, civilian militia and residents told AFP Thursday. The hostages who are mostly from a camp for people displaced by jihadist violence were on Saturday rounded up by fighters loyal to factional leader Abubakar Shekau while collecting wood at Bulakesa village, 25 kilometres (15 miles) from Gamboru in Borno state. “The men were rounded up and taken away by Boko Haram insurgents and nothing has been heard from them,” militia leader Umar Kachalla said. “Two of the loggers escaped and returned home and broke the news. “We don’t have a precise number of those taken but usually the loggers move in a group of more than 50 men,” Kachalla said. The loggers were encouraged to venture deep into the bush to collect firewood by a recent military operation that pushed the jihadists out of the area, another militia Shehu Mada said. Last month troops dislodged the militants from the nearby town of Wulgo and surrounding areas following incessant attacks on loggers. “The general assumption was that the insurgents had left the area only to suddenly appear and encircle the loggers,” Mada said. Some of the loggers joined the team to collect metals from the shells of vehicles destroyed in the military offensive against the fighters, he said. “We believe the number of the those abducted exceeds 50,” said Gamboru resident Babagana Musa. The story was slow to emerge due to limited communications with Gamboru residents. The area has for several years been without telecom facilities following the destruction of telecom masts in Boko Haram attacks, forcing residents to rely on Cameroon mobile phone networks. Gamboru loggers have suffered repeated Boko Haram attacks and abductions especially around Wulgo forest which was a known Boko Haram hideout. In April Boko Haram militants gunned down 18 loggers at the edge of Wulgo forest, 15 kilometres from Gamboru, while returning from collecting wood. In January at least 31 loggers went missing and were believed to have been abducted by the jihadists near Wulgo, where 10 loggers were killed two weeks earlier. https://punchng.com/boko-haram-kidnaps-50-loggers-in-borno/ |

jakeporeshenko: While everyone has a right to air his/her opinion, I believe it should be done so with respect and courtesy. I directed my statements at the government without the intention to insult anyone in particular. I opined based on what I read in the news.

Geronimoe: While an overhaul is not in itself a completely bad Idea, the new incoming CO must have demonstrated excellent leadership in battle in times past. But sadly, I doubt we have them in abundance. If we do, then maybe they are very few Overhauling COs is not in itself the only solution though as I pointed out earlier |

This is the attacking force that killed so many Nigerian soldiers. Yet ignorant people want to tell me it is not a competence issue? The first stage of dealing with a problem is understanding and accepting your failure. Not pass blame around. BHT with AK-47s and a gun truck mounted with a 12.7mm overran a Nigerian army base with Tanks and heavy armor. I'm hearing reports that we lost 4 APCs and 2 Main Battle Tanks. 2 Likes
