The DHQ is wasting large among of its trained and well experience military officers to the insurgency. Provide boots on the ground with all necessary weaponry. Just imagine NO ready to eat packed food. Troops cook. 3mag per soldier when in liberia,somalia our troops were using bullets like groundnut. I don't know why the army changed the directive infact during Obj troops in ND use ammo in excess. 1000 bullet returned for 100 fired. Troops are allowed to fight without support coming. Too bad 3 Likes |

chucky234: What has election got to do with the death of my dad? NL is full of people who can set this nation on fire That is why people like me decided to become more vocal in making sure their evil arrow is halted Imagine some people using monikers that make them appear to be from one part of the country so as to use it to demoralise the people When your father complained of poor equipment and 500naira allowance instead of 3000naira, why didn't you open a thread like SIRIUSBLACK to draw the president's attention. I repeat Give more evidence to convince us that you are not one of those who are here to set the nation ablaze. |

EasternLeopard: How on earth can the death of a soldier at war, even if it was FALSELY reported, "set the nation ablaze?" I simply cannot follow that leap in logic, and would be grateful if you could elaborate on this strange and wacky claim. 4 Likes |

chucky234: Thanks sis. Chucky, I am more than terribly sorry for the loss of your dad! OMG...he had a good profile! I will be honest with you now: I scanned some of your past posts to see if you were one of the people who have blindly supported this government, no I don't mean once in a while just letting things slide. I mean people of the calibre of chino, insincere9gerian, easternleopard, ngozievergreen, banega, etc; and I do not find this in your past posts. I am again sorry for your loss and you must be really courageous to be able to face up here on NL, and make such a concise post about this really horrible news. Accept my condolences. However, please permit me to blame you, PLEASE! For God's sake, I know it is too late to give this advice but perhaps someone else will learn, YOU and family should have made sure your father left this Nigerian Army! What else has he got to prove? To even make it into the Regular Army already takes you above board as far as courage, patriotism and brilliance is concerned, many people will die from just the stress required to be in any average Army! How much a Nigerian Army where even the smallest things will be made so difficult, e.g. finding a decent Government provided accommodation! Not to mention someone who has seen action in multiple theatres of war: Liberia, Sierra Leone, Bakassi, etc! I would guess your father was an Officer in the Nigerian Army?? Perhaps a Colonel? I am saying this because I know a bit of the Nigerian Forces, seeing my family were in the Armed Forces too. In fact, one of my uncles left the Army about 3 years ago as a Colonel and he fought in Liberia too, and many theatres of war and he tells me how badly things get on the battle field and he could have died in Liberia, he fought for years there as a commander. He was wounded and carried off the battle field, fighting for this same Nigeria! Oh, the story of horror of how they were all abandoned, no healthcare, foreign treatment a problem until the managed to go and treat maybe some lucky ones in Egypt! He left the Army at that time as one of the higher-ups, his oga was having some issues with him, and he told me about it, that he would be living in about 2 years. I was not happy because he was a very good man, a christian, extremely generous, very easy going, not surprising being a christian and having been almost dead a few times! You naturally come to take life easy because you know you could have been dead, and not the easy kind of death where you are just in your bed, I mean the violently ugly ones. Why am I telling you this story? Well Boko Haram, something your dad must have told you about. For months, I have suggested that any soldier and all soldiers in the NA should quit the army seeing how they are being set up for slaughter by this useless government! Please, do not be blindly patriotic but see my common sense! Do you know that in any war or battle, the opposition cannot continue the battle if you consistently achieve higher kill ratios of 10 to 1 or more, demoralize the enemy so badly, he loses the will to fight on and no human being or recruit will want to fight for your enemy because he sees the carnage and kill ratio. You know in some wars, some soldiers do not even make it past the first assault, heck even the landing of the soldiers, where they could be landing under heavy fire! I am sure you have seen a few war movies and read a few war books and we all know how modern armies fight, especially an army against a ragtag insurgency like BH! For N 5 Tr in the past 4 years, should soldiers not be kitted to the max, with unlimited supply of bullets, the best guns whose sound drives the fear of God even into inanimate objects, not to talk of a BH that should be outnumbered and outgunned? I ask: should a real army not have the resources to penetrate behind enemy lines and learn the enemies plans? Their movements? Their objectives? Decoys? By inserting undercover officers behind enemy lines, espionage, wire-tapping, etc? When NA arrives at a battle field, they should hardly be coming in hot because you expect the NAF to have straffed miles over miles of the hot zone, even before there are boots on the ground! Yet, when the NA arrives, they should be landing with superior, automated firepower with precise knowledge of where the remnants of the enemies are with one of objective capture or kill the enemy with a kill ratio of 100:1 or better! They should be able to call in airstrikes on demand, helicopter gunships that will closely support the offensive and hundreds of military doctors, nurses, intelligence analysts with multiple companies on standby and overwhelming numbers of soldiers at every time! But Nigeria's government has failed badly! Yet, they keep lying to Nigerians why better Nigerians like you dad (RIP) keep paying the ultimate sacrifice! The worst of these all is Nigerians and their leaders will not learn from any tragedy! They will keep doing the same thing and asking God to come down and do their job or not allow something to happen when God himself is waiting for them to do it because he has given them everything needed and more to solve the problems! It is a shame and RIP to him. 8 Likes

Jakumo: Good question When a falsehood is repeated multiple times and evidence is not demanded, it becomes truth. If Nigerians buy this falsehood that GEJ is not playing his role, people will fall prey to political opportunists Eg BringBackOurGirls campaigne is one example. But it did not worked out as planned Do you know why GEJ provided security during Ekiti/Osun elections and allowed the peoples choice prevailed.? It was to prove his critics wrong. My brother We must know that politicians can do anything to win even if it will set the nation ablaze Now let's ask for evidence before we drink/ bath salt, bitter kola and water |

chucky234: He called me some weeks back and was complaining about the poor and inadequate amunition given to them, in Liberia and Sierra Leone was more than enough bullets for them to fight with but here they are given 30 to 60 bullets each day. Don't despair, your father died a true patriot; a true warrior. Pls, disregard all the unpatriotic insinuations being propagated by some unpatriotic elements; and, I want you to always remember that he died for you and I to be alive in this perilous times. Your father died a hero and a hero he would always be. Respect! 3 Likes |

RIP Great & Brave Soldier You died an Avoidable death as a result of Fat Clueless Army Chiefs who decides to sacrifice Gallant SOLDIERS at the Altar of BH. Their actions can be curbed only if a Soldier can take the bull by the horns & do the needful. 100 soldiers is more better to LIVE than few Greedy army chiefs. We keep complaining & nothing is ever done. IRAQI Rulers are resigning, Nigerians can never never Resign. GREED & CORRUPTION in high places |

seaman007: 30 to 60 bullet for each soilder What makes you think the soldiers were shooting aimlessly? You think this is the movies? Even assuming argunedo that your assertion is right, there are 7200 seconds in 2 hours; how long do you think it takes for a single shot to be fired and how long would it take to exhaust all the bullets if they were fired serially? In your infinite wisdom, do you think soldiers pinned down should be firing one weapon at a time? In which direction should the single weapon be fired? Do you have any idea what the terrain looks like? 1 Like |
