walad4yhu: Seen iz believing...Plz take a trip to Gwoza n c for urself...

Smilelo: My brother waiting u dey wait for na who go show u the picture Y not go there urself and see it for urself so as to be a living witness.

I believe by the time u come back someone else in ur family will live to tell ur story.

It is not too late for u to join the media

dekronik: So far, nigerians seem to take over the job of Abu Qaqa who was gunned down by federal troops sometime ago. Someone will sit down at the comfort of his home with his laptop and write down all sorts of headlines. It amazes me sometimes the degree of news spread out by such to the extent that you will think they are the new heads of boko haram public relations departments. I won't mention names but I believe some NLers are pure boko haram apologists. They paint a picture of a war that can NEVER be won and will always tell you that "my cousin from maiduguri" said this or that. Sometimes they will tell you "my cousin entered a bus with army deserters" etc. I laugh when I read such comments. It is said boko haram have taken over Gwoza and Damboa and hoisted "flags". No one has shown me a picture of boko haram flag in Gwoza. Even boko haram supporting sites like saharareporters and BBC hausa have not shown us the pix of boko flags anywhere. In fact, the most recent boko haram video on Damboa attack did not show any "flag" "hoisted". So my question is this; who's interest are these people serving. Nigerian Army will kill 100 boko boyz but such media houses will downplay such events. When boko boys kill 5-10 soldiers you will see headlines such as "Soldiers flee as boko haram overruns army base". Such disrespectull captions insults the very fabric of our national unity. I challenge Shariareporters and BBC hausa to show me pix of boko haram "flag" in Gwoza or Damboa.

duni04: OP is sufferimg from MUMUsitis. Who on earth would want to go to an insurgent held town to snap pictures? We get reports of happenings in Gworza and Damboa from refugees that fled these places, nobody can actually verify these reports but once one refugee corroborates anothers story then it can be considered true. All the major international news outlets have quoted the same reports of flags being hoisted because they've interviewed refugees from Gworza.
OP think before opening threads and stop wasting nairaland space

aguiyi:

so how did they get the pics and video of gaza, isis war in irag and even those that happened in yemen and afghan . what of the one that happened in syria, lebanon and even kenya .

you are a boko haram apologist

duni04:
I dont even understand the point yoi're trying to make. Is it that we don't have journalists brave enough to go there and snap pictures or that Boko haram is being stingy with the video of them hoisting flags? Please explain your point. If you don't believe boko haram has captured Gworza then please do us all a favoir and go there yourself and verify

aguiyi:

we dont have journalists in Nigeria but paid propagandists and yes , boko haram would have flaunted the flag if they had hoisted it.

those who show us videos of gaza , iraq, syria and the likes are they not journalists

there is not one investigative journalist in Nigeria

duni04:
Ehn that we don't have journalists in Nigeria does not mean Boko haram didnt take over Gworza. Are you the one that picks the videos that Boko haram wants to show us? Refugees have said they hoisted flags, international journalists have said they've hoisted flags. One of the reasons Jonathan even gave for declaring the state of emergency in the North during his televised broadcast, if you remember, was that Terrorists had taken over some parts of the country and hoisted flags. So what's now your problem?

aguiyi:

hahahahahaha. he never said they have taken over any part of the country and hoisted flag except you want to show me a link .

the issue of boko haram video is AFP that picks and upload them online not Nigerian journalist.

there is a thing line between a journalist and a propagandist.

4Play: The Nigerian military can easily dispel the "false" claims by showing pictures of the military inside the allegedly captured towns.

dekronik:

From what you are saying, Nigerian Army should show pictures of Maiduguri, Sudan, CAR, Mali and all other places where they are operating right?
I seriosly believe we have boko haram apologists on Nairaland.

dekronik: Thank God we are alive.

I said it and people called me names. I asked for proof and I was called a doubting Thomas. Now we have seen it. The video is out. Please where is the picture of "flags hoisted" on Emirs palace, Army base and all other Govt. Structures. I have downloaded the video and watched it from begining to the very end.
Shame on BBC Hausa,VOA Hausa, AFP, ShariaReporters etc for helping Boko Haram with propaganda. Where are the so-called eye witnesses who "don't want their names mentioned"?

I'm not saying there is no boko haram attack in Gwoza, I'm just saying STOP THE PRO-BOKO HARAM PROPAGANDA. You are only killing the spirit of our nation. If you think boko haram is a northern problem that can be solved by spliting this country then you are in for a rude shock. Give them the whole of Nigeria, they will demand for Africa, give it to them and they would want world domination. Its an ideology, not politics. So let's join hands and fight as one.
