Nigerian Military Takes A Swipe At Nigerien Government Over 'silly' Comments by dainformant(m): 7:59am On Feb 13, 2015
Following the unfavourable comment made by Defence ministry of Niger Republic in relation to the Nigerian soldiers who run in fear of Boko Haram, the Nigerian Defence spokesman Gen Chris Olukolade has praised the fearless Nigerian soldiers and their professionalism as he also took a swipe at the Nigerien Defence Ministry over the irresponsible comment... Gen Chris made took to his twitter handle to address the issue...Read below;

Nigerian Soldiers remain undaunted despite attacks and insults. They have been maximizing the use of available resources to keep at bay these terrorists who keep flooding in from around. Our troops have with due decency & professionalism respected borders unlike others reputed for looting, mercenary engagement/collaboration with terrorists as a way of surviving the poverty in their country

Our soldiers have remained professional & sacrificial in protecting their fellow Nigerians, preserving the nation's assets. Despite these jeerings, insults & ill wishes from within or without Nigeria, the Nigerian Soldier has not & will not be deterred...

He remains the gallant, brave and patriotic Nigerian Soldier. Although these battles continue, and others are now joining him, never mind..very soon, it will be #VictoryforNigeria. The Nigerian Military remains a great asset and the envy of other Nations.

Welcome our friends from Niger. No way for your infamous looting here. How the poor country compensates it's soldiers & claim they don't run. Our soldiers have been defending our people & Nations wealth from mercenaries supplied to Boko Haram by those who boast that they don't run

The Nigerien Defence Ministry's irresponsible comment is noted. It is sad a few partisan elements join the Poor Country to insult our Troops. We don't cross our boundaries. It is unacceptable for any Foreign Government to say our Soldiers run. This is your Motherland! Defend Her! Some rushed to the press with the Nigerien gaffe hoping to embarrass our military or government. But nobody will disrespect my Mother!

Poor Niger! Treacherous ones amongst us accorded them effrontery to insult our troops to gain bad press. Don't compromise your Patriotism!

Olukolade should know the best response will be to re-arm the military and defeat Boko Haram.

Olukolade should stop pretending and face up with the fact that Nigeria army has lost the touch with professionalism and excellence, they have turned to politicians under pdp government, they are best as tools in the hands of the pdp to harass and hounds the opposition for election manipulations, they are right now in Lagos, Abuja, Rivers, Kwara and other states placing surveillance on the key leaders of APC while they have engaged the chadian, Nigerien and Cameroon armies to fight boko haram for them.

Mr olukolade should shut his dirty mouth. BH has been killing inncoent Nigerians in the last 6 years and the Nigeria army had all the time to have won the war but alas they keep exchanging arms with BH to prolong the war and make billions of nairai.

The Nigeriens were right because Nigerians soldiers who are known for their gallantry in peacekeeping missions where an average soldier earn millions of naira suddenly becomes redundant and fearful in crushing bunch of insurgents simply because they earn less than 50 000 Monthly to prosecute the war !

The general himself, how much do you collect from the government everyday ? We know people like you sir. You know how to write the right thing don't know how to do the right thing so please save it. We see how Cameroon protect their borders with their whole heart. You don't know the meaning of mother land from your heart if you do, you will be warning be reminding the civilian government of their responsibilities and duties to this country every day my man.

you dont win wars with bullets alone, but with a mix of a well structured propaganda... thats what our defence HQ lacks at the moment. . foreign media has been praising chad and niger while we do all the flushing out. when this ends, foreigners will tell you niger and chad put nigeria out of their 'boko' misery. .

The rejoinder is clearly ill-advised.

You need all the co-operation you can get in order to comprehensively wipe out the terrorists.

Gen Olukolade, show some maturity, please..

I agree with you big time. At times I wonder if DHQ hasn't got a media department to do their image making. Politics and war thrive in good image making.

while you erroneously called your fellow a dummy you unfortunately could not conceal your cluelessness. Did you just say our army is well equipped? You definitely must be sleeping and waking with Sambo, so you must have been infested with dumbness.

The way the Nigerian media jumped on the Nigerien comments is not good. It seems there are many people in our media who are only happy to report bad news about our military.
That being said I think the statement by Olukolade was just rambling and incoherent. I think he allowed himself to be brought down to the level of the Nigeriens calling them looters and a poor country. He should have released a well framed and concise statement refuting the allegations instead of the roforofo fight that he allowed them to drag him into.

General Olukolade should just shut up. The Nigerian army is supposed to be an institution of pride, professionalism and excellence. Rather it is no more than an embarrassment to us as a nation.

Nigerian thinking, when will you think like a human being for once?
Under chris olukolade, the Nigerian army lost 20 out of 27LGAs, while the Boko was emboldened to attack, Maiduguri (the seat of government) twice, immediately Chad entered the battle, we reclaimed 4LGA's in 2 weeks,

Let me ask you as a human being, (not a Nigerian), who is really doing the flushing?

Olukolade should be thankful for the chadians and Nigeriens not talking nonsense. Funny how he alluded looting to the Nigerien forces, lol, he thinks that every Nigerian is dumb.

The Nigerian peace keeping forces under ECOMOG was synonymous to looting in Liberia hence the nickname, Every Car and Movable Object Gone, Chris it is not the Nigeriens but the Nigerian forces, so bury your face in shame.
