Xavfra: The traitors are the Big Army top brats and DHQ cashing out on this war. ISWAP has overun several military bases here in Northern Borno without ambusing. When a military base will exchange fire with these bastards for over 2hours with no air support from Maiduguri. How long does it even take a Jet fighter from even Yola to arrive Borno?

lebuhsi: Major scenes or let me say 80% of the video is from Gorgi and don’t forget the very same week there attacks in Yobe also. So it seems they patched the video all together. [/b]I hope our top brass learns from this mistake and looks into troops transportation and standardization of armored vehicles for troops sake. Another saddening side of this story is that the NA looses scarce equipment to terrorist is bad, this vehicle is only few months old. And I want to add one poor side of these armored vehicle is that it’s way too heavy even during this dry season. The vehicle is strong when it comes to armor and fire-power delivery but ease of maneuverability is very poor especially during combat, from the video one can easy tell the vehicle got stalked and abandoned when the attack was getting close. I think the NA should look inwards into producing 4 x 4 armored vehicle like the proforce/REVA with heavy protection/fire power then we see less of vehicles been captured [b] 1 Like |

bidexiii:Although I am inexperienced in military operations but following this thread for years now I observed two things? 1. Why can't we have a chopper escorting them whenever they move many men and materials? Because to me the army need eyes in the sky due the dynamics of the enemy take for example the case of Gen. Adeniyi he has no business on ground that day, he should be in the sky coordinating affairs base on his overview of the battle ground. 2. Why is this operation not under the Chief of Defense Staff Office so that all the security agencies will contribute men and materials into a single course? The case of Theatre Commander saying he has seen gunship they sent shows lack of coordination I think he should have some platforms under his command. 2 Likes |

jpphilips: This makes no sense. The US entered Afghanistan because 3,000 Americans were killed in 9/11. The US has the world's largest forward force projection. Whether in Colombus or Kandahar they can deliver the punch. The US is making the deal with the Taliban because after nearly 20 years of US and NATO military operations in Afghanistan, they have come to the realisation that they cannot win militarily. 1 Like 1 Share |

DavidAdeyemo: I agree that military operations should be coordinated from DHQ. It seems as though each individual service has it's own running mission, running concurrently with the general military operations in the North East. I also agree on your comment on the theater commander. I think one of the major issues we have is an insufficient number of air platforms. I am also of the opinion that the army needs to quickly stand up it's own air arm. Also the air force needs to get it's remaining MI-35m helicopters. Last I read, they have all been built. Nigeria has not completed payment for them. 1 Like |

DavidAdeyemo: 1) the problem is our top brass are still doing stuffs the same old way not learning from there past mistakes and they want to get results. Why not something more stealthy that can report enemy positions during clearing/mopping up operations and if there is any need to call in an air strike. It takes less than minutes for air assets to reach anywhere in Borno or the North east theatre. The army needs her own close in air support for there own operations, we can leave deep air interdictions for the airforce. I have always ask where is the air force in scenarios like Gorgi ![]() 2) Other arms of the military are involved in the COIN in the northeast, even the NPF are not left out. But in terms of equipment support they can do much better. |

Salatavor: We are not losing. South-Africa spent 28 years in Angola fighting terrorists. Syrian civil war has gone on for 9 years despite heavy Russian involvement. Nigerian army suffered losses in an ambush to BHT, but we have successfully degraded BHT to carrying out hit and run in isolated areas. That's hardly a victory 1 Like |

kabe1: You are speaking from your personal opinion not based on previous & present events. Before the Talibans agreed to come to the negotiation table, US dealt a severe blow to the Haqqani rebels presently reinforcing the Talibans, so the US has proved all that has to be proven fire power wise. The real issue presently is that the fight is getting unpopular at home & there are no serious objective left so what are they supposed to fight for? The US simply no longer wants to fight not that they can't win, there is no objective left, there is no political, economic or other strategic objective left there. 4 Likes |

jpphilips: U.S. officials constantly said they were making progress. They were not, and they knew it, an exclusive Post investigation found. A trove of government documents obtained by The Washington Post reveals that senior U.S. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign, making rosy pronouncements they knew to be false and hiding unmistakable evidence the war had become unwinnable. "[b]We were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan — we didn’t know what we were doing,” [/b]Douglas Lute, a three-star Army general who served as the White House’s Afghan war czar during the Bush and Obama administrations, told government interviewers in 2015. He added: “What are we trying to do here? We didn’t have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking.” 2 Likes 1 Share |

jpphilips: With most speaking on the assumption that their remarks would not become public, U.S. officials acknowledged that their warfighting strategies were fatally flawed Several of those interviewed described explicit and sustained efforts by the U.S. government to deliberately mislead the public. They said it was common at military headquarters in Kabul — and at the White House — to distort statistics to make it appear the United States was winning the war when that was not the case. 1 Like 1 Share |

jpphilips: Like you said based on your own opinion ! Stop deceiving yourself, [/b]“US simply no longer wants to fight not that they can’t win”.[b] where did you get that from or who told you that, infact the US loves to fight war and flex there muscles and it’s in there DNA to fight and history is there to show it. When the French left Vietnam the US took over to flex there muscles, we all know what happen last last, they withdrew there troops it was a stalemate. Same thing is happening in the Middle East the Russian couldn’t defeat the mujahideen, backed by the United States now the Russians where tired and left. The same thing is happening to the US, they want to make peace with every terrorist there once sponsored. Infact the Americans & NATO are making the Middle East worst by the day including Lydia, it’s becoming worst by the day even an unstable mind knows that with all there super power. Dude war is not a game the Americans are tired and have reached there “diminishing law of return” ? Over 18 years and still on battling terrorism globally. Sure some politicians and war mongers, defense contractors wouldn’t want an end to these dirty wars. But the soldiers who risks the odds are fucking tired 2 Likes 1 Share |
