oluafolabi: Lol. There is no media propaganda here. It's just you being allergic to reality and the truth. They bleed just like me, I agree. So why has it been very impossible for the NA to quell this opposition?

If u understand there tactics u would understand that this media propaganda is doing them a favor. I will post later what I read from a convert of them.

The last time i checked, britain has never been of any usefulness to us as a colonial Oga. All francophone countries enjoy some old pappy protection and help from france but here we are having all our issues escalated and blow out of proportion by our so called colonial father (Britain). Even their companies take the same route of leaving a very sordid environment and reputation in Nigeria. Shell is a big example. Very controversial set of people. Chief propagandist. Always happy to amplify every little of our challenge to the entire world.

What baffles me much is how the government and it's citizens are pretending as if nothing is going on wrong.

In the US and other developed countries, when one soul is lost the government, the people and the media will be deeply shaken.

May God restore peace and tranquility in Nigeria now and forever.

Truckpusher: Nigerians need to understand that Boko Haram has a lot of sympathizers even here in NL.

When they subtly addresses a mere skirmish between soldiers and possibly on the run boko haram members as huge battle that killed our boys in uniform ,they are passing a message on behalf of boko haram knowingly and the aim is to make Nigerians think that boko haram is larger than life and can't be defeated by the Nigerian Army thereby psychologically trying to defeat the people before boko haram takes over physically and this only serves a particular purpose ;which is ,if some bunch of gun and knife wielding fellows shows up even in the South in their numbers people might panic and that'd usher in the chaos they so much wanted .

And I think it is high time the Govt. should begin to fish out these traitors and terrorists in our midst and shoot them in the head.

Mean muslims?

publisher: Ever since 2009 Boko Haram has been attacking several Northern/North-Eastern towns at will. Most times they attack such towns, hoist flags, hang around and flee, sometimes they lurk around until Nigerian security forces arrive and chase them out-yet no one ever presented the narrative that Boko Haram had TAKEN OVER such towns.

Unfortunately, today, Boko Haram through its massive media propaganda partners have included the term 'TAKEOVER' into our national counter-terrorism vocabulary. Thus, if a small band of terrorists decide to conduct their usual deadly raids on a small remote town or village in North Eastern Nigeria, Boko Haram's media network quickly gets to work and tells the world that Boko Haram has TAKEN OVER yet another Nigerian territory.

The strategy here is for Boko Haram to continue to disperse small/medium band of fighters to many remote towns and villages, while their media partners simulteanously continue announcing to the world that Boko Haram has 'OVERRUN' more Nigerian territories.

Innundating the Nigerian polity with multiple media reports of takeovers and overruning of Nigerian territories is meant to plunge our security forces into a state of confusion and disarray with a pinch of hopelessness. This can cause a large number of Nigerian soldiers to say to themselves, "Why bother,these Boko Haram guys are everywhere." -The Nigerian army's morale will gradually continue to dampen and at a later date the insurgents will abandon those smaller towns, regroup and attack major towns like Maiduguri,Yola and Damaturu in full force.

This is Boko Haram's strategy and I hope all Nigerians,especially those with ownership or access to media outlets (online and offline) are listening.

A simple counter-propaganda strategy from all patriotic Nigerian media outlets (and the rest of us) is to continue reporting every single Boko Haram attack for what it really is "A COWARDLY ATTACK" and NOT equate such attacks to territorial gains.

Afterall, in spite of Boko Haram's alleged control of several Nigerian territories, we are yet to see the head of their caliphate (Shekau) relocate or move into one of the airconditioned secretariat offices located in territories he claims to control.

Again, let's join hands and fight Boko Haram with everything we've got.

The freedom of information which these administration granted to help our democracy has been abused by wicked and senseless politicians, supporters and groups. Rather than use it to promote our culture, successes, richness just like the Chinese are doing and of recently AIT, they are busy wasting thier ill-gotten wealth on electronic and print media houses trying to paint the government especially the federal government black. Rather than pray for the man or those in power, some ingrates are using abusive words against the president yet saying " we are well trained and more respectful than others". Its quite unfortunate. People say bad news sells more? But I think, it is in Nigeria alone. why are the Chinese or the western world not feeding us with the decays in the society so as the world and authority would know they are not able? Or do they want to tell us thier society is perfect? Our local media houses should help this country, our bad politicians trying to fake truths and paint our image, richness and progress black due to hatred against he that is in power should desist from it. Some people in all sections of the country who have not been to other parts of the country shouldn't conclude that there is nothing going on else where in the country. The government is federal government is making progress; if the previous administrations especially Babangida, Buhari and of course and importantly the [b][/b]OBJ administration who has enormous power and resources to have put things in place had done so, we would have had a clear-cut case against GEJ. GEJ is trying to lay a good and new foundation for the country. He believes let by gone be by gone and lets start afresh, but wicked people who never want to see changes in some years coming are hell bent in destroying this country and wants us to remain in the dark. Nigeria is our own, if it collapses, it collapses on us all, if it grows, our generation will bless our soul.

HAH: Yes, to further show that boko Haram have not captured any town in north east we need to have a world press conference led by Labaran maku, and reuben Abati in front. Of emir of Gwoza palace with a full compliment of all the journalist of all news outfit.

Yes we need to show that all this takeover are propaganda and lies by Boko Haram media and apologist.

Let us prove them wrong by going to Bama,Gwoza,madagali and gomboru to have a TAN rally

50calibre:


You're retar*ded!!! So I guess these tanks & APCs are proceeds of the "mere skirmishes" with the boys in uniform right?

If at this stage, you still underestimate boko haram's capacity or the threat it poses then its either you haven't being paying attention or just foolhardy.

Boko haram is taking over in every sense of the word. When an authority is powerless to repel attacks on the state, then it's lost control.

Boko haram conquer towns, conveniently repelling the little resistance they encounter for Nigeria's rag-tag army, residents on sighting them, flee for safety else they're systematically executed. They then proceed to storm barracks and freely cart away arms as every soldier in the barack is either dead or fled.

The Nigerian army or rather the Nigerian militia lacks the efficacy to tackle boko haram head-on, a US state department official said Nigerian soldiers are scared shi*less of Boko haram, they're too scared to fight & why shouldn't they? When they're are going up against a better armed and better motivated outfit.

Cameroonian forces make instant mincemeat of the maggots stu*pid enough to venture into thèir territory, the remaining maggots come running back to Nigeria where they get an easy ride.

Wake up from your fantasy world Mr Truckpusher

Leave the clowns and dummies,thinking talking down our military and praising boko will do them any good.

Boko haram are cowards-if they come in large numbers,of course the small number of troops in the area could be overwhelmed and of course withdraw tactically that is in no way a take over.

All you dumb Nigerians. Thinking this psychology will boost our troops-you all are just playing into boko haram hands and you help to embolden them,any patriotic Nigerian will encourage our military-for ll militaries and armies in the world withdraw tactically sometimes to avoid too much casualties,its part of war-fare,only dummies don't realise.

Wonder why una papa no go fight.
