So a Nigerian soldier could not even speak that Aljazeera had to interpret? A poorly planned propaganda. We stand by our troops.

Just because you or your people aren't from Borno shouldn't mean we should lose our sense of objectivity...


I'm very sure that so many civilians are being killed because our soldiers are poorly trained.


Come to think of it....If Nigerian Police can kill civilians in broad day light, then I see no reason why Nigerian Army wont kill civilians. Both forces represent and are product of the society....

This State of emergency won't be needed in the first place if we had proper intelligence unit, but like most units in Nigeria, the SSS seem dysfunctional.


If Boko Haram could afford to give youth N5,000 to fire bomb schools, I don't see why we can't pay infiltrators N20,000 ( minimum wage), to infiltrate the sect for intelligence gathering.

So instead of State of emergency that is costing money, all we will just need is a specialist team, well trained to swoop and make arrest based on intelligence gathering.

Just imagine such a conflict is in the South, or Lagos, how professional do you think the Nigerian army will conduct itself?

Nigerian aRmy and police are not so far off$

don't ever make such comments openly about Nigerian Soldier poorly trained. Don't make that senseless statement again. You want Nigeria to be like Mali, the best is the SOE declared by GEJ. Don't worry, there's no trip providing war without innocent lives being lost. You'll get the full jist when they are done.

any one who harbours evil must be ready to eat its fruit.boko haram had been thriving in the north killing innocent soulaa n u guys said notin rather u gave them support secretly n send condolences to families of the victims.nw d gov is bent on flourshing them n u start crying foul, my frnd i can see u hv cockroaches in ur cupboard cus any innocent Nigerian would not think in line

maasoap: Nigerians are hypocrites. We all knew the reason why FG ordered the telecommunication cut off in the affected areas as well as the reason for preventing journalists (both local and international) from accessing the area, but we just wouldn't accept publicly. Because it is not your people today and because it is not your region today doesn't mean it can't be your people and region tomorrow. Let's be frank, atrocity is really going on.

terrorism to that heigh can never, I repeat never happen in such areas. They are highly educated and to a very reasonable extent know what human life holds and not some religious bygots who takes lives in the name of 72virgins, what a gulible nitwits. Brainwashed heediots, this is just the begining. I still repeat before the end of june, you'll hear a live broadcast of boko harams mass burial

The Nigerian military has a long history of commiting atrocities and murdering civilians. We know their antecedents: Odi, Zango Kataf, Maiduguri. There are dozens of youtube videos of soldiers shooting unarmed hausa men and boys in cold blood. We allow them to kill Nigerian citizens at will, and once they label a corpse as a Boko Haram fighter, nobody asks any questions, nobody asks for proof.

When the army invaded Baga, many of the people who lived in the area claimed that the army had been burning houses and killing civilians but nobody listened. The army denied the allegations, but they refused to allow journalists to enter the town to verify the truth even though the battle was over and Boko Haram was supposedly totally defeated. Yet Nigerians showed little interest. Human Rights Watch got satellite pictures that clearly showed at least 2,400 burnt houses and 80,000 square metres of scorched earth, but army claimed that the pictures were fake without offering any proof or allowing anybody to actually enter the town and check. The US government has its own satellites and they have made it clear that they are not happy with the way the amount of collateral damage. Now we have a Nigerian soldier sticking his neck out to complain that too many of our people are dying and Nairalanders are condemning him.

I think it is time for us to stop deceiving ourselves. The truth is that our military is commiting grave atrocities in this fight against Boko Haram. The truth is that the army and police have killed far more innocent Nigerians that the terrorists they are supposed to be fighting. It is sad that some oyimbos diplomats and Al Jazeera journalists care more about Nigerian lives than we do.

I think the apathy we are seeing is just more evidence of our culture of selfishness and tribalism. We don't care about what is happening because it's happening in somebody else's village. After all they're just abokis, so who cares if they die. But what we've forgotten is that when you allow injustice in one place, it spreads to others.

Maybe one day, the army will find a reason to come to your village. Then you'll learn why soldiers shouldn't be allowed to kill people and burn houses with no questions asked.

for me, i have to say what is fact concerning SOE and boko haram, if you are against Nigeria army send to do there work, it mean that you are in support of boko haram, if you are a politician from southsouth or southeast and you are against the SOE in north, it mean that you have interest or favour you want to get from northern politicians come 2015 General Election. secondly what have been helping boko haram initially is because ilitracy that is in the north, upon how long northern leaders have rule this country, north lack development, poverty is still much there. imargine a child because of #5000 naira someone will tell you to kill or throw bomb on people he/she will accept. i'm in support of Nigeria Army on mission because they are doing a good work for there father land, please i want to ask were Aljesera when boko haram is killing innocent christian souls and some muslim. Longlive G. Jonathan , longlive Nigeria, longlive Nigeria Force. (Army,Airforce,Police).

The north and their arabs paymaster can go to any lenght to undermine the govt.any body down south who can't see this norther and arabic propaganda is a confirmed fool.the 58 boko women and children freed should have been killed since d useless Aljazeera has termed FG a monster.I'm proud of the troup they are keeping the Nigeria flag flying to hell with Aljazeera,we don't need any arabic media to tell us bullshit

The unhealthy and unwarranted wasting of humans of human lives? Yes, i am witness to that..the Nigerian Security Forces can be quite crude in approach. Seen them put bullets in cuffed 'Civilians' on the street in broad day light but is the price to be paid not too heavy for the goal at hand? Now that's a question only the president can answer.

maasoap: Nigerians are hypocrites. We all knew the reason why FG ordered the telecommunication cut off in the affected areas as well as the reason for preventing journalists (both local and international) from accessing the area, but we just wouldn't accept publicly.

It was our people yesterday(biafra),today it is your people.. One good turn deserves another.

RUBBISH REPORTING

There is no way that innocents won't die in a conflict, like they did and still do in iraq,afganistan,mali,libya,etc. But that did'nt stop the governments from doing what is necessary to stop this insurgents. But this 3,000 number is just groosly exergerated, al jazeera need to give more proof than one soildeir cause who we're not even sure is a nigerian soildeir.There is no greater threat to the world than radical islam and we must never give them the a haven to grow. If we do that in years to come, nigeria will be the afganistan of africa from where terrorist will be launching attacks abroad and our country will be finished. We have to cut the head of this snake before it overgrows and strangle us

lacasa: The truth can never be hidden.

Funny n sillyy nigerians they now sayin al-jazeera is a boko-haram sympathetic international news station



#.. Can nigerians be this dull

keep laughing! Your president john mahama is now sounding the alarm that radical islam is the greatest threat to west africa today. They are being pushed out of mali by the french, out of nigeria by our military. Guess where they are headed? Do you now understand why your president is sounding alarm?

When I watch d news, I usually tune to hear it from both sides of d divide (CNN and Aljazeera) to be able to strike a balance.

Iyfe Namikaze:
It was our people yesterday(biafra),today it is your people.. One good turn deserves another.

Leave Biafra matter.

Al-jazeera is a very biased news channel. Extending the biased coverage they have on Israeli Palestinian war won't work here. The same way they broadcast hundreds of videos on crimes committed by Israeli soldiers on Palestinians but would never show crimes committed by Hamas

aljazeera is an islamic station, naturally they would try t sabotage any fights that's against a predominately Muslim community. yawnnnnnn. give me am unbiased opinion and I'll believe the story

Enough of this pretense abeg.

I am sure many of the people on this thread know that civilians are being killed in the north as we speak but you pretend you dont know just because you think those civilians are muslims.

Nigerian soldiers that are known for dealing out the worst kind of treatment to civilians have suddenly become trustworthy gooddoers that can never do wrong to the innocent.

Na una sabi o. Keep defending the killing of innocent people because you think they are your enemies.

naanxie: OP pls get your fact right! D dude isn't α BH mole,he is α nigerian soldier. i just wonder why he wld betray his country and grant that interview to aljazeera of all stations!

The answer is in the fact that he is a boko haramite in the midst of Nigerian army, that is if he is a Nigerian at all. Again I ask, do they have up to 3000 civilians in there, if yes what were there doing all the while that they were asked to leave? Why did they not work with the military to expose the insurgents all these while? I refuse to buy the farce that they were not allowed to leave by the BH. It's pure rubbish

And unfortunately, if boko haram can point out to the civilians that the Nigerian Army is a common enemy, they have a ready source of recruits.

kkkp: Why will u c wen those killed r nt frm d east[b][/b]

IF U AR NOT ONE OF THEM WHY HAVE U NOT GIVE A HELP TO SECURITY B4 NOW,..I URGE THE JTF TO KILL ALL BECOZ TERRIORIST ARE CRIME...

When BH drive into churches on a constant bases and detonate their bombs and run and hide in their innocent villages with a lot of innocent people who use AK47 as farm tool Aljazeera reporters were smoking crack its ok the church members are not innocent right,they detonate bomb at car pack the slained passengers are quilty right, the people killed in their homes are quilty,the BH guys have innocent village people,tribes men supporting them,Aljazeera reporters were snifing cracks,the Aljazeera reporter should be at the frontline and appreciate what the Army is doing.

Anybody that harbour evil will see evil. The northerns deserve whatever they are experiencing. We have all called Gej slowpoke on issue of boko haram,now he has taken a huge step to curb terrorism. Our duty as nigerians is to support the government.

ISLAM= AL QUAEDA= AL JAZEERA= BOKO HARAM

U r talking Trash.

If you give the Army reason to come to your village to root out insurgency, then dont expect them to treat you and your kin with kids gloves. It has always been so through out history, not just Nigeria.

chidindufrank: If Aijazeera have any integrity, they are supposed to arrest the soldier and hand him over to Nigeria. That is the stipulation of international law on terrorism

Dude, are you a bushman?

This report is nothing but TOTAL hogwash. The reporter claims that thousands of civilians were killed, yet all I see are dead bodies in militay fatigues and web-gear. What kind of civilian wears that? Al-jazeera has totally dissapointed me.

Raymondenyi: the assent of that source of theirs betrays them, obviously not a Nigerian assent, any one with a very keeen mind shoulkd have noticed dat ( there is no Nigerian assent in that speech)

I said it

[size=15pt]But Nigerians will believe in what CNN, BBC, SKYNEWS are feeding us...Dullard NL's[/size]

My major grouse is this. Al jazeera comes out with a report that 3000 civilians have been killed by Nigerian military yet no proof other than a soldier who is also a traitor and a sell out. We dont even have the identity of this soldier. Again, we cant see one single picture of one civilian that has been killed talkless of 3000. Also, they are using old bama footage. Also, we cant even confirm the person is even Nigerian talkless of a soldier because of his voice (anybody can wear camouflage) and we know that there will be some soldiers sympathetic to boko. Even the military heads have said so. Also, this coming at a time where we expect responsible journalism. Also, they themselves cannot confirm the report. Also, we know Al jazeera to be biased to islamists. I could go on and on. I'll rather believe the word of a General over the word of a stupid traitor soldier conducting a treasonable offence even if the traitor is speaking the truth.
