barcanista: This is one reason i am advocating that Payment of Soldiers should be made by the Ministry of Defence or Finance. The Military hierarchy should focus on other areas. What do u expect when DEMO CRAZY has opened their eyes to abundance of money which during their regime they had some esteem for.The now ryde in BMW's compared to d days they drove in 504 S.R (dilapidated one for that matter).Their eye don open with money and deep regards for greed. 2 Likes |

Maximum respect to all the families of lost and fighting soldiers wish I could garantee your position in the anal of this countries history... But someday may your names be read out with honor and dignity for the work and ultimate sacrifice you made for the unity of this nation.... Promising it will not be in vain. Having said that why are Nigerian military administrators acting like a bunch of untrained mediocres under-arming soldiers to go to battle, sending family men on suicide missions, Nigerian soldier are known for gallancy, coordination, effective strategies, warmth, fearlessness in the face of battle, peace keeping but we have just exposed our homeland administrative weakness bunch of @$$π0!€ who never take responsibility for actions or order given. Man I weep for this country, right before your eyes your life taken because you were not ready battle, because the system you where fighting for failed you after giving in your all... Oh oh oh |

Why will Nigerians engage the Nigerian army in a fight? Whoever wins the fight, one thing is sure, Nigerians will die in the fight. Why can't the parents of these boko haram fighters call their children to order and stop this madness. The local elders, councillors, local government chairmen and village heads should be able to call their wards to order and stop the unnecessary waste of human lives going on in the north. Unless if these local leaders are in support of boko haram |

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.From this analysis it's not a mole issue, but the fact that the military is inept, they don't give the amount of support needed. Imagine a senior officer complaining of lack of ammunition!? 2 Likes |

chucky234: My father who is one of the senior officers attached to the 3 Division of the special force in Damaturu who were ambushed of the 27th day of July. Your late father was an incredibly patriotic and brave African warrior, Chuck, and your summary of his tours of duty is at once inspirational, breath-taking and humbling to learn about from the man's own son. Chuck, you walk tall in the footprints of a great, fighting bull-elephant, who proudly bore the scars of many a battle waged to protect Mother Africa, before taking one final heroic stand against overwhelming odds, giving no quarter to the enemy until he could fight no more. A soldier and rifleman to the very last shot fired. Nigeria, Africa and the entire free world collectively owe the greatest measure of human gratitude to fallen and surviving protectors of what is right, decent and fair about the human condition. Your father, and all other Nigerian fighting men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice to roll back the invading forces of evil, will be recalled with somber reverence by many, many generations beyond the current one. With a heavy heart, I bid a fond and immeasurably grateful farewell to a giant and a gladiator, whose feats of combat bravery were revealed to us only today, yet which we appreciate with every living cell of our being. 19 Likes |

rollykotex: Come to think of it,is Nigeria really worth dying for?? Just thinking out loud Just like Jesus died for our sins even though we don't deserve it so can it be likened the job of a military man ( ina lesser way though, as there's no basis for comparison between what Christ did for us and this). Chucks father and his comrades who've lost their lives in the course of this our fight against insurgency are dead for our sake. They had an option to work in a bank, do business, etc but they chose to fight and die for Nigeria. They're HEROES. Lets use this medium to ask about our fighter helicopters and super tucanos that have been ordered by the FG. Though I know it will still take some time or months for our fighter pilots to master how to fly those machines in a battle scenario but imagine if we had these helicopters now, it' they would've called for air support and maybe Chucks father would still have been alive now. FG please hurry up 3 Likes |

brownlord:What if they dont know Boko Haram sponsors? Maybe you should read this How Boko Haram is beating U.S. efforts to choke its financingIn addition, Boko Haram is an ideology. If for instance, I buy into their ideology, I can decide to set up my own camp with my own resources (with the hope that I am working for Allah) and unleash mayhem in my own locality even without coming in contact with the leader of Boko Haram. If worse comes to worse, I can go it alone, believing that I am earning favour from Allah 3 Likes |

chucky234: Where have you been bro, its been a long time. My brother, I was very busy with some new start-up thing for a while. Back now. We all want Boko Haram wiped out yet I don't think this Government has the sincerity, decency and will to help us achieve that. Your father is a hero who gave his life so we could all be safe and live how we wish to so I will refrain, so as not to upset you, from saying too much on this thread in regards to what I think of the complicity of this government letting down brave men like your father. You yourself touched on some of it so I won't say much. Suffice to say I don't think Boko Haram will be defeated as long as this ultra-failed, self-serving, callous, heinously corrupt and universally maligned government remains in place. Again, take heart and stay strong for others in your family. 2 Likes |
