nas 00: Before the start of the operation, GEJ already goofed. Borno state is surrounded by 3 nigerian states- Yobe, Gombe and Adamawa.

I was saying this to myself after listening to GEJ's declaration of SOE, leaving Gombe out. Why leave Gombe?
It is common knowledge that Borno is the 'headquarters' of Boko Haram. It only makes sense that Gombe be included in the SOE plan, in order to entirely cordon off Borno and escaping militants would be running into the waiting ambush of the infantry.

Gombe is the smallest of these states, and Nigerian Army should have adequate personnel to cover Gombe too.
However, the reasoning had been faulty from the start.

Even between Borno and neighbouring states where SOE has been declared, there may be many secret escape routes. Let alone the fact that Gombe is a free haven for the militants.

Well, just guessing now, although it is doubtful GEJ is actually this smart (but I wanna hope so, for the sake of all that is good).
A tactical reason why Gombe may be left out of the SOE plan is to use Gombe as a decoy. That way, the escaping militants will tend to migrate to Gombe before any other thing, and right there they'll be running into a JTF ambush at the borders. This is very risky thoough.

Then, oga GEJ should not forget the Kano branch of Boko Haram. This military operation is long overdue, expedite it with sense and to its logical conclusion Sir!!

It iz not that easy as u see it d entire borno,yobe & adamawa is a vast expanse of landmass.the armed forces dont hav d resources,enough APC,TANKs,vehicles,enough personnel 2 police dis vast porous border,couple with harse weather in that region,dont 4get Boko haram cannot be identified merely looking @ there faces or tribal marks.they NA dont hav the native scanner or matchet 2 identify a bloody terrorist like d one use by bakassi boys those days in the east.

Are they not prepared to die again boko haram u ate a coward oloriburuku ole apanyan oniranu

Hmmm... The president might as well declare the entire Northern region under a state of emergency.

Boko Haram just made d Nigerian ppl fear them because we didn't understand. Agberos for mushin even get levels pass them. At least, agberos in oshodi stand their ground and fight back at d police or army for what they believe in.

#forming strong men but killing unsuspecting innocent defenseless women & children.

Now shitt is on and they can't even hold a straight 2day full military face to face battle. I'll reserve my fear for a more deserving thing...fvcking chickens!

ideylaff: Political Hullabalooo, they are quenching some monster they created behind the scenes to give credence to Mr President... Like America going to war a year b4 elections..weve seen it all b4

Why has Boko not had any real proper Power and influential Goverment target since.... LOL.

na so so poor people den dey kill since....

Whoz fooling who.....?

Just 2 days and dey are saying they are seeing results on Boko... very funny a movement they created /
has bn running for years just quelled within 1 week like that. Doyin Okupe must be a joker sha....

If they could do this why allow them to grow and do us so much damage over the last few years..

Boko is an internal creation by them, GBAMK, they grew out of hand just like Massob and d past militants dey had to buy their arms off them back in d days for money/amnesty.

Im not fooled even if others are fooled....

I know Nigeria well enough....

Field marshal Doyin Okupe is now reporting war front success as if the people on ground have filed a security report withing 2 days or is it a week of Stste of Emergency

what is the National Security Adviser doing... drinking beer or what?

What a bunch of liars, deceitful and jokers they all are
2 years ago they told us same lies like this... this is now 2013 and they suddenly have woken up from their slumber after needless blood/lives have bn shed.....GOD will judge them all

NIGERIAN MILITARY NO MORE THE NATION DEFENDERS..

1. THE NIGERIAN MILITARY TURNED INTO POLITICAL CHARLATANS OF GEJ ADMINISTRATION
2. BY USING THEM AS A TOOL TO ACHIEVE HIS DEVILISH AGENDAS UNABATED.
3. HARASSING, KILLING INNOCENT NIGERIAN IN A SIMPLE BID TO CURVE INSURGENCY (BH) CREATED BY SAME MAN TO ACHIEVE THIS AGENDA.
4. UNPROFESSIONAL APPROACH BY THE MILITARY TO TACKLE SMALL BUT ELUSIVE TARGETS LIKE BH GUERRILLA FIGHTERS

LONG LIVE NIGERIA

And what are the security agents at the borders of these states doing? They really have to beef up measures to arrest BH militants as they attempt to cross over to other states. This is the time to intensify the stop-and-search operations on all vehicles traveling from Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states to other neighbouring states.

solomon111: So you expect GEJ to apply S0E as his first resolve,without first trying other options.
In a tribalistic Nigeria,where the support of the locals is needed to curb terrorism,you expect GEJ to just implement S0E without giving them the benefits of the doubt that other means have been explored.?
You're even more retardedd than i thought.
There were no terrorists in Odi,yet OBJ decided to massacre the whole town instead of arresting the culprits.
So comparing the "odi massacre" to GEJ's S0E is moronnic.
OBJ was vengeful to say the least.
Btw,i thought you were totally against SOE.
Why are you now complaining that the S0E is belated?

Dont mind the boomfool my brother solomon! he is a bunkum, tell him to go and hug all the dead transformers in Lagos

okosodo: They are protecting their wives and children, while killing other people‘s wive‘s. May God destroy all of them

Amen in Jesus name. Holy Ghost fire shall burn them one by one.
