MikeCZAR: No, it shows that the press are doing all they can to suppress any news coming out of Nigeria that is good and to exaggerate negatives. Nigerian Army have been on the offensive all week. http://www.turkishweekly.net/news/179514/nigerian-army-39-dislodges-39-boko-haram-from-ne-town.html http://www.osundefender.org/?p=210559&cpage=1 How Nigeria Fighter Jets Bombed Boko Haram’s Camp It is all part of the Psych warfare and propaganda to undermine Nigeria and we are just laughing. 2 Likes |

DieVluit: What an Olodo. Where did they refute the fact that the Jet was lost? Wasn't it the NAF that reported one of their Alpha Jets missing? What they were denying was the photograph which was super-imposed, as such, they denied it was the actual pilot. “The picture of a man beheaded in the video is superimposed,” he said without elaborating. “Our plane is still missing and we are looking for it. Boko Haram is just making unfounded claims.” - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/confusion-beheading-air-force-pilot-captured-killed/#sthash.aIk96aqW.dpuf Why on earth can't I post a tweet about the UAV's retrieval if that was what happened? |

Henry120: I hear you, but it appears it was the guy from Niger that broke the news, so one has to ask why? Did they contact Nigeria to verify?, no. The Nigerian Armed Forces have been conducting operations for days now, though they have not been specific, although there was that news report recently that said there would be a push involving MNJTF. |

While the Southies are busy believing everything they read and distorting facts, things are happening; Nigerian military set for “final onslaught” against Boko Haram — Source January 23, 2015Nnenna Ibeh The Nigerian military is set for a final, and comprehensive onslaught against the extremist Boko Haram group, in an operation expected to end by before February election, a website that distributes press statements for the Nigerian military, has reported. PRNigeria quoted a military source as saying that government forces have finalized plans to conduct a “once and for all comprehensive operations” towards the elimination of Boko Haram terrorists in parts of North East. The news came a day after President Goodluck Jonathan’s National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, said the fighting has been undermined by “cowardly soldiers” who prefer giving every excuse in the world to fighting the extremists. PRNigeria said the new military plan came as the Jonathan administration became so worried by the activities of Boko Haram, especially after viewing the latest video from the terror group, in which its leader, Abubakar Shekau, claimed they have enough weapons to overrun Nigeria and its neighbours. The report said the military plan has been approved by the federal government, and has also received the assurance of cooperation and support of Cameroun, Niger and Chad, who now appear to have realised the danger posed by continuing to allow terrorists free movement across the borders. “Nigerian military is reviewing strategy in the combat against terrorists to accommodate joint and combined operations with neighbouring military organisations,” the source was quoted as saying. Massive deployment of air and amphibious assets are expected to feature in the operation. Preparatory to the mission, the Defence Headquarters has changed the General Officer Commanding the 7 Division which is the leading formation in the counter-terrorism campaign, the source was quoted as saying. The source said the deployment for the mission will facilitate the elimination of safe haven and escape routes of Boko Haram terrorists within Nigeria and neighbouring countries. PRNigeria also reported that innocent citizens living in terrorist-infested areas are expected to vacate temporarily to safer towns. Speaking to PRNigeria, Defence spokesperson, Chris Olukolade declined comment on details of the operation, he however, said the military would not relent in its efforts to restore peace to every part of the country. He also admitted that all the countries bordering Nigeria are willing to compliment the efforts in Nigeria as terrorism has remained a menace or threat to all in the region. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/175472-nigerian-military-set-final-onslaught-boko-haram-source.html 2 Likes 1 Share |

mzilakazi: You see how daft you are, are you saying he knows more that the former CAS how many soldiers he had under his command? This is on top of the known fact that there has been serious recruitment going on the last few years so the numbers are between 100,000 - 150,000 as I write. |

You are too dumb to recognize relentless western propaganda. BTW, he said the troops who dropped their weapons and ran were cowards, not Nigerian soldiers are cowards.

That infamous CNN report on Nigerian army January 21, 2015 - By Aloy Ejimakor – I watched the recent CNN segment on the Boko Haram terror vis-a-vis the state of the Nigerian armed forces; and I was appalled at CNN, appalled at the misguided ‘soldiers’ that granted them the interview; and thus concluded that CNN has, in relation to Nigeria of this era, changed its name to ‘Celebrating Negative News’. I wager that my outrage represents the inert feelings of vast majorities of Nigerians that are still possessed of any sense of pride in the fine exploits of our armed forces. Pray, how can anybody believe that Nigerian soldiers now sow or buy their own uniforms or buy their army-issue boots and other essential military gears? Since when? Lies, lies, but when told so many times, especially about Africa, they begin to ring true. Every army, everywhere in the world, including CNN’s own America, runs a military-gear shop where any soldier can optionally buy any extra non-essential gear he desires. It is a fashion thing that caters to the personal taste of any soldier who desires some extra stuff. This is what CNN that should know better so much mischaracterized and twisted, just to ridicule our army, our nation, our pride. Are we even sure that the interviewees are bonafide Nigerian soldiers, and not some bitter mutineer, saboteur; or even a Boko Haram member or sympathizer in fake rag-tag military uniform? Yes, it’s Boko Haram that wears fake rag-tag army uniforms, not my authentic Nigerian soldiers I see on the streets resplendent and proud in their quality uniforms. Coming to the so-called disgruntled widows, how can anybody be so sure that Nic Robertson, the interviewer, was not suckered in by his local guide, who might have been motivated by some vile objectives? The highly objectionable airing played into the deep-rooted, age-old stereotype that nothing works in Africa, even when something is working. I dare say that if Nigeria’s military expedition against Boko Haram is that lousy, the terrorists would have overrun the entire country by now. Who stopped the Boko Haram where they are now? Who paid with their blood to keep them at bay? Why these callous attacks on Nigerian military, especially its leadership? Do we want them to go on suicide missions? Or just get plain frustrated? The setbacks in the Nigerian military’s gallant strides against Boko Haram are overhyped; and I dare say, for some sinister purposes. Traducers and non-patriots alike have ignored the main problem, and that is: the complex internal religious, tribal and political contradictions that have plagued the federal security apparatus and our polity in recent times and thus affected the morale of loyal forces and made this very insurgency the greatest military dilemma for any President, any army, anywhere. Everybody knows that’s the main problem, yet anybody that dares raise it, is drowned out, is ridiculed, like the President was when he ventured that Boko Haram has infiltrated state structures. To be sure, this sort of biased, highly inflammatory foreign broadcast sits well with the closet civil Boko Haram sympathizers, some of whom are now probably amongst those campaigning to rule Nigeria; my Nigeria, poor Nigeria. Shame on CNN; shame on all those that give aid and comfort to the enemy, to terrorists, either in the name of ratcheting-up their TV ratings; or worse, seeking to overawe the government and people of Nigeria. It will never work; it has never worked anywhere, even if, for the time being, it seems to be emboldening Boko Haram and making our national defense more onerous. Is it possible for any of our Nigerian TV stations or even the same CNN to be sneaking around Syria and Iraq, suborning subversive stories from disgruntled American troops? You won’t dare because it’s simply not allowed, and if you succeed and you proceed to air it, it shall be considered severe breach of national security laws and therefore prosecutable. Ask Snowden and Assange; now hunted by several western governments for airing what’s not supposed to be aired, and no combat environment was even involved. Even as it is evident that the military is not resting on its oars, some rank partisans, with a political axe to grind, have seized the opportunity of this CNN ‘scoop’ to escalate their torment of the good people of Nigeria, believing that they are tormenting the Nigerian armed forces as presently commanded. And in some extreme cases of mean-spiritedness and undue levity, these people have even gone as far as taunting the armed forces and unwittingly celebrating every setback in the war effort, if not every kill made by Boko Haram. They forget that no nation succeeds in subduing terrorism by exhibiting this shameful level of disunity and near-subversion of the security forces, notwithstanding that it is the only institution that is so far standing between us and the worst terror any African country has witnessed since time. You defeat terror by supporting and complimenting our men and women in uniform. Criticisms are welcome but they better be reasonable and driven by a high sense of patriotism; not this orchestrated taunts that a certain set people are playing-up as if it’s funny. Just imagine how many Presidents, lost lives and ordnance it took America, with quantum help of world powers, to get Osama. It took three Presidents, from Bush Senior to Clinton, then from Bush Junior to Obama, all spanning over twenty years; and thousands of fallen American soldiers. And now they have ISIS and other garden-varieties to still conquer. You don’t fight organized terror by falsely accusing Nigerian troops and their most gallant and can-do commanders of genocide, and then demanding that those that fought terrorists hard be tried and jailed whilst the terrorists are busy bombing away, beheading and killing your fellow Nigerians. American Presidents could not have made progress against terror if famous Americans are daily haranguing the government and security forces instead of giving them some moral support and compatriot spirit, which can sometimes bring much more mileage than any weapon can ever muster. The American expedition in Vietnam failed, not for lack of weapons or uniforms but for lack of compatriot support. You don’t fight terror by justifying the despicable actions of Boko Haram on the premise that they are bombing and beheading out of some feeling of economic hardship, unemployment or marginalization. That is not what Boko Haram claims that propels them; it is abolition of western education and establishment of a caliphate in secular Nigeria that propel them. So, it is troubling that those with influence should turn apologists for Boko Haram by continuing to grab at straws while terror reigns. It is a shame that this infamous CNN report has created a new path to such perfidy. Shame on CNN. http://africanheraldexpress.com/blog8/2015/01/21/that-infamous-cnn-report-on-nigerian-army/ 3 Likes 1 Share |
