Yes,it says victory belongs to God. What I meant is that we'd overcome the enemies with the help of God on our side.

Which God? Allah is not the same God of Abraham.

I visited Maiduguri several times in years gone by, and it is so hard to understand what these people hope to achieve by taking that sleepy town.

Can you see or hear helicopter gunships Sultan ?

With a 2000 strong attack force for Maidugri it seems BH wants to move further away from border cities in a bid to avoid confrontation with Chadian troops

The Nigerian army will decimate them in a battle,the boko haram will retreat after suffering heavy casualties,instead of our soliders to go after them and finish them,they will allow them to retreat and regroup for another attack.
Why can't we be on the offensive for ones?

That's what you don't understand, this isn't a war between two different territories. There are definitely over 5,000 terrorists in those forests, if not double or triple those numbers, relying on element of surprise to carry out their attacks. Going into unknown territory, our military will most likely be massacred.

Whatever the case, those military men knows better than us.

Attacking from all the four angles of maiduguri...

Their numbers keep increasing by the day.

This is enough evidence that the Muslim north are solidly behind this group.

You are right Promhize. This is a guerilla war being waged against Nigeria, where the enemy mingles with the civilian population, only to gather and attack in hit-and-run fashion, with very few direct confrontations that would enable the air-force jets to wipe out large enemy troop concentrations. This is a very cunning and cowardly enemy, but they are very dangerous nonetheless.

Re: Maiduguri Under Attack. Details Later by PapiWata: 9:29am On Feb 01, 2015
Sultan, what is keeping you there ? Can't you relocate southwards to Kano or even Abuja, after the dust settles ? They may be defeated today, but Bokko Haram WILL return to Maiduguri before long, and possibly in larger numbers, backed by artillery.

Wait till the coast is clear, and then get the ffuck out of there with your loved ones PRONTO !

Which Airforce Jets are U guys always talking of please? For ur info Boko haram has stopped Guerilla warfare for a year , they sieze towns and hold on to them and even set up criminal governance in some places , for ur info they drive around in a porous poor battle formation of up to 30 Hilux soft body pickups which is when our Jets (if we have any) should pounce and extinguish them with ease.. Since they always get away scot free with their hilux convoy I would be right to say Nigeria doesn't have a single functioning jet that can hit things on the ground

Thanks for the confirmation. Keep you head down, brother. An RPG shot is devastatingly accurate out to 500 meters.

Those on the ground in Maiduguri this morning are confirming that the Air Force is delivering serious firepower on the advancing enemy troops. If the air force was not up to speed in the past, it is safe to say NOW that the beast is WIDE awake, and the enemy IS learning to fear the bear in the air, in downtown Maiduguri, as we speak.

2000 fighters attacking probably more, and definitely more on standby, are they all foreign mercenaries? No.

If this happened in the south, would Boko-Haram gain this sort of number? No.

The North needs Enlightenment, education, the north needs the educated few to stand up and do something.

Re: Maiduguri Under Attack. Details Later by apcmustwin(f): 9:49am On Feb 01, 2015
why was there no single attack during the
whole of this rally? i thought Bokoharam like
crowd so they can claim many lives. where
is more crowded than a campaign ground
with thousands?
Terrorism can not continue in a nation for
years without the knowledge of the
government.
gej himself acknowledged that Bokoharam
sponsors are in his govt.
Azazi the NSA came out openly to announce
that PDP is bokoharam , he was killed d next
week.
we have to ask ourselves who are those that
stand to gain from this persistent carnage?
is it the northerners Both Muslims and xtian,
hausas and non Hausa that are killed in
thousands?
is it the govt of this Bokoharam states that
are governing an economy that no one
wants to invest in?
is it the military and other top govt officials
that make money in d name of security
votes which is unaccountable for?
gej has a good heart but he is to timid and
ball less to probe the military and high
ranking officers who are benefitting from
this menace

This is great news, Sultan, but these terrorist hordes are relentless.


Unless you have NO means to do so, I again urge you to leave Maiduguri at the FIRST chance that presents itself, never to return until the guns FINALLY fall silent.

Google Toyota wars.

You will be surprised how effective a highly mobile small force scattered over a large area was able to crush a conventional army with air superiority.

All their tactics are errily similar to that of the Chadian forces and rebels fighting against Libyan forces.

The current president of Chad was decorated after the war for leading a successful campaingn as a military commander of the Chaian forces.
