idupaul: I don't see the see the Army ever defeatin Bokoharam again not after the have captured 3 large towns , which means the have access to male occupants of those cities which the forcefully conscript to become fighters .. The War has been lost when we could have won it the incompetent Jonathan and his cowardly Army let it grow

saintkash: saying the army is failing in it duty simply means u r not been fair to d army, urself or to Nigerians. I think it will be more clear if u say d Nigeria government or precisely GEJ has failed/failing in dis hard time.... my own opinion oo

bolaino: the president has his short comings yes, but do you expect the president to carry an Ak 47 rifle and go to bornu to fight? The president has declared martial law in the 3 most affected states, it is left for the Army to enforce the martial law, we have seen videos of military men fleeing in combat, for reasons best known to them, I wish the military victory in it's ongoing campaign, but it seems the military men are scared, the reason a soldier would run from something is because he is scared of dying, and why would you be a soldier and be scared of dying? It shows lack of patriotism. Simply put the military is having Insurrection problems, and I believe we might see more soldiers running from the battle field in the future, if the military can not fight boko haram, it should contract it to Private Military Contractors, we can provide such services. And they won't have to lose face, because right now the military is losing face, but we can help correct this.

bolaino: Little Drops of water, could make a Mighty ocean, Like Play Like play, fowl go born Goat, There is an obvious danger ahead of this country in the guise of the islamic terror sect Boko haram, this threat is inherent, and if proper actions are not taken to curb the excesses of this threat then we would be creating a problem with no solution, I pity Nigerians myself included, Nigerians do not know the problems they are creating by allowing this vicious sect gain ground everyday, and instead of the Government to tackle this obvious problem they hide behind the lie that the military is under funded, my Fellow Nigerians, boko haram's reach is growing by the day, do not be deceived, do not fool yourselves into thinking that one day the Group will surrender and negotiate, these mujahids have one Goal, to islamize the whole of Nigeria by force, they are being trained by Al shabab fighters, and they are been funded by ignorant and evil Nigerians, with the aid of a western Country, live in denial all you want, and think that God loves Nigeria so much to allow the country disintegrate, ( jerusalem the holy city of God, was burnt to the Ground by muslim invaders hundreds of years ago, if they could burn down jerusalem, your guess is as Good as mine) keep day dreaming and hope that the same people who are sponsoring this evil will come out with the solution, but know one thing, we have allowed ant infested firewood into our homes, so we should not complain about the lizards and maggots paying us visits, the Nigerian army is running away from boko haram that has very little combat experience, what will the Nigerian army do when some of the ruthless jihadists in North Africa start trooping into Nigeria? Smh, The nature of the Threat is that Boko haram is growing and there are speculations in the intelligence community that the Islamic state formerly known as ISIS, is planning on smuggling weapons and military hardware to Africa, to help spread the Terror campaign of the Islamic Caliphate. Wake up Nigerians, Wake up before it's too late, Say No to Corruption, The military is failing in it's duty because it has become corrupt, Corruption is our biggest enemy, Boko haram is ambushing men of the armed forces because some corrupt ones are selling the Good ones out, and the rest are scared to die for nothing, let us say no to corruption. The Boko haram threat is real, let us join hands together to fight against terrorism and let us provide our military with reliable information on how to track and dismantle boko haram cells. Boko haram is all about the funding I keep telling you. Cut off the funds you kill the beast. Long Live The Federal Republic Of Nigeria.

Ediskcab:
D logic behind your argument is like trying to absolve a coach of d failure of his team. Gej is d commander in chief if the armed forces of Nigeria.

Lordlexyy: Who talks about the President carrying Ak 47 to the battle? You can't exonerate the president from the failure of the NA, he remains the C in C and any malfunction in the army is directed at him. The guy you quorated gave reasons why the soldiers abandon their posts, and here you are defending your principal. Is it too much for the army to ask to be well equipped? And whose responsible is it to equip them? And who should ensure that the money meant to equip them well utilized? Finally, who has the power to arrest and prosecute if the money isn't used for the purpose it was meant for? These are the duties of Mr. President and all the various Federal agencies he put in place cos, the success of the NA is exclusively shared by the President. Why shouldn't he partake in their failure.

noblezone:

bros, it is not as simple as that.

there are among the Nigerian soldiers, those who love Boko Haram!
In fact they joined the army in preparation for a day like this.
The Nigerian army is divided into two: Jihardists and others.

We are reaping the fruits of Mr. Luggard's evil experiment called amalgamation.

bolaino: true, true, but let's not politicize this issue, I am not absolving the president of any blame, he is the president and thus if the country succeeds or fails it's on him, what I'm trying to say in essence my Good man, is that there seems to be incompetence on the part of the army, it's obvious seeds of mutiny have been planted in the army, the army is divided and insurrection is taking hold on them, morale is low and I believe it has a lot to do largely on their capabilities, once in their lives they are been faced with fearless terrorists and it's scaring them to hell, this tells you the stuff our armed forces are made off. Why is the army unable to reclaim land that are being controlled by insurgents, there is no reason for them not to have been able to take back these lands, is boko haram in control of nuclear war heads or fighter jets? Or is there something the army is not telling us.

Lordlexyy: I appreciate your civil response. However, we can't accuse them yet of not showing willingness when most of their demands remain unattended to. For as long as the gov't and top military brass continue to pay lip services, expect more insurrection and mutany from the soldiers. The insurgents have nothing to lose, at best, their indocrination is enough motivation, but the same can't be said of our military men who are conscious of their families and the fact that the gov't is doing very little in terms of logistics and packages to encourage them to give their all.

bolaino: it's a pathetic situation and even more terrible than you could ever imagine, if the Nigerian army manages to destroy the Group to an extent, the group will make a Global call for all jihadists in the world to come to Nigeria to their aid, and I assure you, you wouldn't want cut throat mujahids to come to Nigeria, those guys are hurricane of destruction. Terrible I tell you.
