Nope Bro

When a fellow Nigerian rejoices at the news of KIA/ WIA /MIA of NA/ NN / NAF
When some can't wait to share bad news breathlessly
Unknown to some of them ( ironically members of their family are actually fighting supplying stuff to the NA/ NN/ NPF / NAF)
What is the rejoicing/ smirky comments about?
Neither PMB nor GEJ sons or daughters are fighting in this war.It is our families and friends who are
the only thing I give bh credit for is they don't give a rats ass if you are of any ethnic group or Muslim/Christian / Traditional worshipers
Once you don any uniform it is execution .
For God's sake let's all even be hypercritical of All administrations and at the same time when something good happens let us be happy about it.
anything that will protect our troops, bring this war to an end, better equipment, made in Nigeria equipment by Nigerians for Nigerians to protect them from being KILLED is an accomplishment.

Oga I know about that. But I will not stop speaking or posting my opinions here. Whether it is seen by the top brats or not is not my concern

I noticed even when you fart, you still have people to hit the like button for you.

komekn:


Agreed without reservation or question rather I COMMEND YOU.

For being the only authentic source of ungarnished information we have.

I remember when SiruisBlack was here and then he was silenced.

he wasn't silenced bro, stop portraying the military as evil.

No rednecks here; we are all military enthusiast and also to openly criticize the military accordingly.
But all some people do is to downplay the military efforts !

Credible reports of ISWAP surrenders; 1 w group only 1 year (low level) but another with the group since 2015 w M. Lawan (higher level). The other Saad Karami seemed also battle-hardened. Not enough 2 alter battle dynamics majorly but positive direction:

They can follow and it's their own business, I am an acquaintance with the COAS and know he is very active online so I won't be surprised if he is following too.
The point is everybody here is making contributions to the betterment of our National security regardless of standpoint and members of the armed forces should be greatful for the inputs we make in support to seeing our country better.

Amnesty international is starting to shout human rights abuse by Nigerian soldiers again. Those people sure know how lobby US politicians to get what they want. For the sake of discussion, let's assume Trump doesn't win the elections in November, will Biden continue the tucano transfer to Nigeria? A lot will happen between now and 2021 and placing all our hopes on the tucanos might be very dangerous.

The US are not that unreliable....
And which abuse again

God speed guys !!!!!

The Nigerian Army on Monday 1st of June 2020 flagged off a joint Operation called ‘OPERATION ACCORD’ in Sanga LGA of Kaduna State. The operation was flagged off to neutralize and destroy all bandits and militia groups and their hideouts in the North West and North Central zones.

Founder of CAR muslim militia group Central African People's Democratic Front (FDPC), Martin Koumtamadji alias Gen. Abdoulaye Miskine & 3 top commanders arrested in Oct 2019 by Chad appeared before a judge monday for the first time.
Miskine was sanctioned by U.N days ago.

There are pressures from CAR government and the U.N to extradite him back to Bangui.
Miskin, a known supporter of Tchadien rebel leader Lt. Laodin Barde is accused of mass killings, use of child soldiers, arms smuggling, banditry etc

I doubt if much will be achieved. These guys are highly mobile. They will simply hibernate and resume their killing when the operation is over. Focus should be on the source of the problem besides the issues in southern Kaduna is not primarily about banditry. It is a more of an ethnic revenge mission.

pacretus:
let me rephrase, are they currently fighting a home grown terror group.?

They are not fighting home grown terror group.

Because they have been PROACTIVE from a military and intelligence perspective as well as with socio-economic intervention policies.

Mitigating against the socio-cultural economic deprivation circumstances that these terror groups take advantage of with thier misguided delusional ideologies.

These wars are not won with guns alone.

You should visit Senegal you will be quite suprised.

I can tell you it has greatly improved
Your moniker who claimed his giving authentic news from Borno state, back in days during the dark days 2010 - 2015 you don’t dare to go to some L.G.A it was like signing your own death wish.
Only Maiduguri/MMC and Bama was the saddest. Your acclaimed moniker would not be able to work in Borno back then. We guys in S-W, and S-E wouldn’t appreciate the peace we have, people in the N.E and troubled southern kaduna, sokoto & Zamfara would appreciate it better.

You are being very limited when l asked about the security situation l was taking holistically across Nigeria. With multiple fronts of contention.

anything that will protect our troops, bring this war to an end, better equipment, made in Nigeria equipment by Nigerians for Nigerians to protect them from being KILLED is an accomplishment.

I want the best value fit for purpose equipment required for Nigerians combatants to do thier jobs, that keeps them as safe as possibly and devastatingly offensive against the enemy.

Whether that Equipment is made in Timbuktu or Alaska l really don't care.

But buying equipment just because it is partially made in Nigeria as the basis for quality, l simply don't ascribe too.

My expectations are different from yours which is a reflection of different experience professional and otherwise. Let me expand briefly.

Many years ago l did some oversight interim consultancy work for the British home Office. On compliance and delivery by commissioned HO national contractors.

There were a number of contractors engaged in dispersal of refugees, education services and accommodating them.

The refugees from Eritrea, Somalia, Nigeria, Sudan, etc had no complaints about the contractors, the accommodation, the food etc. Indeed they thought that arrangements were heaven on earth. And we're extremely satisfied.

The refugees from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, complained very bitterly. The felt they were living in dog kennels and being fed expired dog food.

These two examples show what experience can do to your EXPECTATIONS.

I see that played out here some of our expectations are so low that puts to question our self esteem.

You may be satisfied but l am certainly not. And because l dont find what's acceptable to you as being good and satisfactory does not make me hyper critical and or unpatriotic.

I simply have Higher expectations and those expectations are not whimsical they are knowledge capacity underpinned.

True yarn mate; ..... has usual !
I think religious and tribal leaders in those regions has a lot of part to play. I hate to say this but it’s the bitter truth; they should form a strong vigilante group working together with the security agencies.

Zulum on 4th visit to remote Kala-Balge; 10,000 households get food items

... Zulum wants Wulgo community resettled
... Borno Governor meets Soldiers in Rann, Wulgo

Borno Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum has led the distribution of food and non food items to 10,000 households living in Rann, headquarters of the Kala-Balge, the remotest local government area of the state.

The latest visit was the fourth by the governor to the local government that shares border with the Cameroon Republic.

Zulum was flown from Maiduguri to Rann, onboard a military chopper, on Sunday May 31, 2020.

The Governor who had made three previous similar trips, the first being in June, 2019, few days after coming into office, when he undertook the need assessment of public facilities and subsequently ordered construction works.

He was later to return in December 2019 to distribute cash to 15,000 widows.

Zulum was soon back to Kala-Balge in February this year to distribute N100 million cash to 10,000 trapped families.

During the latest visit on Sunday, Zulum supervised the distribution of relief items to mostly women and aged men amongst other vulnerable persons in need, with about 300 Nigerians taking refuge in the Republic of Cameroon who returned to Rann benefiting from the gesture.

Each of the beneficiaries received a bag of 50kg Maize grain, two cartons of spaghetti, two bags of 10kg rice and a-3 liters cooking oil, while female beneficiaries got wrappers in addition to the food items.

Residents in Rann have since mid last year been trapped without road access to farmlands due to the flood from a dam, this forced Nigerians in Rann to resort to neighboring Cameroon Republic for livelihoods.

Governor Zulum at a press briefing after the exercise, acknowledged food contributions from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, the Northeast Development Commission (NEDC), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and Dangote Foundation.

He said: “I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the President and Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, for all that he has been doing towards repositioning the northeast.

"I also wish to express my appreciation to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Northeast Development Commission, as well as NEMA and Dangote Foundation, all of them have contributed to the success of this excersice."

... Zulum wants Wulgo community resettled

Meanwhile, after his food distribution exercise, Governor Zulum traveled to Wulgo, a border community, to assess the destruction caused by the Boko Haram insurgents.

The assessment of Wulgo, acording to Governor Zulum, was preparatory to resettlement of thousands of IDPs from the community currently staying at formal and informal camps in Gamboru town of Ngala LGA.

The governor said: “The aim of our visit here is to assess the town with a view to resetting back the community. We will have an interface with the community, I think the first thing we will do is to clear the town.”

Zulum then proceeded to Gamboru Ngala where he passed the night, during which he interfaced with the Internally displaced persons from different communities.

... Borno Governor meets Soldiers in Rann, Wulgo

Also during his visit, Governor Zulum while in Rann and Wulgo, paid visits to military formations in the two towns in order to boost their morale.

During the visits, Zulum presented 250 bags of 50 kg rice,10 bags of 50kg sugar, 200 cartons of noodles, 500 cartons of sphagetti, cooking oil and cash to each of the formations.

They are all busy doing WITHOUT RESERVATION up and down. All what is being said has been said in the past. We decided to encourage the frontline troops who may happen to come across this thread and a few have passed through. This thread is not for the top brass. It is for the military enthusiast to encouarge own troops rather than malign them while you comfortably sleep at home.

Bunch of hypocrites. If it was your chosen person in the presidency, you will be taking a different line. Feel free to create your own thread where you can criticize to your hearts content, but no, it then won't feel like trolling, will it?

I don't see anybody on this thread casting aspersions on the junior officers and NCO who put thier lives on the line night and day.

Rather thier is continous commendation for these guys. Who have no VOICE and are called to suffer and die in silence.

However, recently there was perverse condemnation for a soldier who cried out in total frustration. After he lost his colleagues on top of a recovery vehicle in a contested war zone by an IED.

I wonder who is being hypocritical in this context.

Zulum then proceeded to Gamboru Ngala where he passed the night, during which he interfaced with the Internally displaced persons from different communities.


The Governor should have spent a night in Rann . If the government is giving a medal to soldiers in the Northeast, I will suggest they give two medals to soldiers who served and are serving in Rann. A town that when the raining season commence you will have no vehicular access in and out of Rann for four months. Every civilians and soldiers stockpile their essential commodities during this period.

I remember when one of my military friends had his wedding during the raining season. He had to trek on foot with some soldiers and CJTF as his guards for 15 kilometers to a Cameroon border town called Boddo or Bosso for the Nigerian troops there to convey him to Gamboru. I praised his Gallant colleagues who took such a risk moving on foot in such a terrain to guard their boss and return back on foot.

May God bless our Gallant Soldiers
