9jadelta: men naija army clean o. see as dem kit up.

safarigirl: state of emergency means nobody goes in or comes out, anyone still in there better be praying to whatever he believes in

Bro., these are the land area sizes of the 3 states:

Bornu state = 70,898 km²
Adamawa state = 36,917 km²
Yobe state = 45,502 km²

You need good military intelligence and an effective counter-insurgency to win against these people. And the Nigeria hasn't been able to do that - hence why BH keeps growing by day. The troops are just going over to kill more civilians. 2,000 soldiers won't change anything.

liberty300: About 2,000 security operatives and military hardware, including fighter jets have been deployed to Maiduguri ahead of yesterday’s declaration of State of Emergency.
In neighboring Yobe State, it is not clear how many soldiers were deployed but residents said shortly after the declaration of state of emergency, stop and search operations have been intensified in the state capital while movement have been restricted in other places.
Residents said the deployment of the federal troops, including the army, navy, air force and operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) began at the weekend.
“We started sensing danger on Saturday when we saw military trucks conveying soldiers to the Joint Task Force (JTF) headquarters along Pompomari area,” Usman Jika, a resident of Maiduguri said.
“By Sunday morning, so many roadblocks have sprung up in the state capital and there was noticeable cordon and search of houses by new faces (soldiers),” he said.
A resident of Kumshe, one of the red spots in Maiduguri said his neighbour was beaten to pulp on Sunday when soldiers besieged the areas and forced all the people out of their houses.
“All the soldiers that came to the neighborhood appeared new in the town, some of them said it is now time for ‘fire for fire” he said.
Another resident said he saw military aircrafts landing at the Maiduguri International Airport and the air strip at the Air Force base in the state capital.
“A lot of fighting equipment have been deployed to Maiduguri,” Hajja Maimuna, a resident of Gomari, whose house is close to the Air Force base said.
“We are really terrified because the military operatives coming to Maiduguri in the last two days far outnumbered those that came during the previous emergency rule,” she said.
“Even though the state governor has not been removed, which is good, the truth is that Maiduguri is now a garrison town, full of angry soldiers who are ready to kill at the slightest provocation. The deployment will definitely hamper social and economic life of the people,” she said.

IYA NGBALI: it has STARTING

IYA NGBALI: it has STARTING

ayd91: I hope those in charge are aware that there is no way BK haram boys will show up for a fair fight with such a large deployment of Nigeria Soldiers.
They should beware of gorilla warfare and all forms of Iraqi styled attacks.
If Numbers counted so much in battle, US wouldn't have lost in Vietnam and also would have ended the Iraqi insurgents in less than 1 month.
I pray for the best. God bless Nigeria.

Please i appeal to my fellow Biafrans still residing in those 3 states to pack up and return to Biafra. D war to exterminate d rats has been declared, let us return to BiaFra.

coogar:
i mentioned this earlier when i said borno is huge in land size but 70% of that land mass is desert. jonathan need drones. at the same time, i like the presence of the military out there. this would tell boko haram and the crooked politicians backing them that the end is nigh.

you underestimate the nigerian troops if you think they don't know where to look. all they needed was the commander-in-chief to give the order. the bureaucracy has been shelved now, jonathan is at war with terror and i am backing him 110% on this one.

splashbaby: US Boston Marathon bombing: 2 killed and more than 6000 officers deployed. Nigeria Boko Haram bombing so far: Over 4000 killed and 2000 officers deployed plus probably another 2000 already on ground making 4000. GEJ is a joke

gramci:

You are the joke

ebgbest: TIME TO ACT DECISIVELY

At last it looks like PresiDUNCE JoNOTHING is turning into PRAISEident JonACTION. A State of Emergency in BURNo and neighbouring States. He has now turned amNASTY into ARMYnesty. NO holds barred. Blast the BOKO Harassers back to the Stone Age together with all those harbouring them. Let us see whether the blabbing Northern MUZZLEims will keep trying to muzzle free speech and free action and keep blaming JTF for collateral damage, rather than blaming the bastards causing violent action to be taken. Let them keep blaming OGA AT THE TOP for what their Greedy EMIRS, SHEHUS, SULTANS, MADllams, SINators, RAPEresentatives and GoVAINors heaped on them with poor education and a twisted religious doctrine. Abi Dubai and Malaysia no get Islam? Mcheeew!

It will seem for once that senseless ranting from a senseless man makes sense ... Dokubo knows what he is saying when he says we in the South will accept no more Northern threats and determination to rule. If they dont want to be grateful for Niger Delta, Igbo and Youruba Oil and keep demanding it as of right and demanding to rule, as a right, then the answer must be NO and if they wish they can go create a separate country and find their own Oil. The Oil in the ground belongs to the Ethnic groups in which the Oil is found, and if we must share it as a Nation, then those that dont have must show some gratitude and grace - not hector and demand.

The CiroMADS, I Be Beasts, BOOharis and all those HOWLsa and Fulani MUZZLEims drunk on Southern Oil, and who threatened to make this country ungovernable, must be told in no certain terms that we are a Democracy not DEMONcrazy. No more ARMYtwisting for Northern Candidates and Military Coups. We will tolerate it NO LONGER. We will follow whoever we decide will bring progress whether Fashola (A Yoruba AGAIN? Who Cares), Okorocha, Oshiomole, Amaechi (PDP), Ribadu or even the self-serving El Rufai - whoever is good - let them come forward to rule in the NAME of our Nation - and our votes must decide.

It is high time Nigeria was pursued with the vision, energy and innovation of our Film and Music Industry, where we celebrate Genevieve, Omosexy, Tuface, P-Square, D'Banj, Wizkid, Bracket, Timaya, Duncan Mighty, Jeremy Gayang - without knowing their tribes or religion - young people making international waves for us; while a group of young, crazy, mad mullahs are messing our names internationally, and damaging our opportunities, with mass murder and mayhem in the name of the twisted ideologies of Arab Imperialism.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

70% desert is what makes the work of the soldiers more difficult. We need to take a cue from the Algerians and how they were able to defeat AQIM. Heck, about a quarter of the budget at N921.91 Billion was set aside for defence - how come we're still running with obsolete military gadgets?

We need intelligence gathering and if he's serious about BH - he should go after their sponsors. I'm darn sure he knows who they're. Cut off the head of the snake and all these indoctrinated youths would go home.

I'm not underestimating them, they just don't have the capabilities against asymmetric warfare. The militancy in Niger Delta and the ongoing madness with BH have already proven that.

You and I know that 2,000 troops won't change anything...This is just cheap politics, to be honest. These clowns aren't serious about bringing peace to the country. The country is crumbling and heading towards disintegration yet these people have continued to play politics with everything. It's just sad.

PS: all the duffers on the thread are free to attack me and call me anything, but I'll continue to speak the truth.

Orikinla: This is what Orikinla has been calling for.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
The Nigerian military can put an end to terrorism in Nigeria.
As the son of a brave Nigerian soldier, I know what brave Nigerian soldiers can do to save Nigeria when the chips are down.
This is long over due.
Let us put an end to the bloody madness of the lunatic fringe of Muslims.

yeboyes: [b]If i were the defence minister i would ensure that our soldiers have the latest military gear most especially armored tactical gear like the one below:





The above cost less than a thousand dollars per soldier.

I will also arm all our combatant soldiers with the latest and most accurate assault rifles like FN Scar Lite and heavy loaded with extra. This is my favorite rifle as it is has tons of accessories and is extremely accurate especially with a longer barrel.With this riffle you won't waste bullets.One bullet one kill.It is favored by a lot of modern militaries as it is very affordable, accurate and durable.
