Hausa / fulani love oil more than their own lives. That is why oil matters are giving Buhari and El Rufai more concern than boko haram killings.

And punch their mouth piece and slave doesn't see this one as news.

Victory is usually won at a cost. Anyway, I was only quoting PMB. grin. He gave the impression that he had it all figured out, during his campaign. I really don't envy him. He was just being a politician.

Someday, very soon, I know we will overcome. I have some kind of faith in PMB but he's not the answer or messiah he pretends to be. If he is, let him probe all the way to Shagari. After all, the courts are there. So are all the state machineries.

By now, PMB should know that the alleged negotiation by BH break way is a sham. It's obvious that the NE is undermanned by the available security personnels on ground. For crying out loud, the killings took place 30km from the capital, they destroyed the masts . BH are strategizing on their terror plan, i just hope the army authorities would continue to innovate their counter terrorist strategies.

Residents of Kukuwa-Gari village in Yobe state were thrown into pandemonium as gangs of militants arrived on motorcycles and a car and opened fire of them, local residents said on Tuesday.

Up to 150 people drowned in a river or were shot dead fleeing the insurgents who attacked them on Thursday last week. “They opened fire instantly, which forced residents to flee. They shot a number of people. Unfortunately many residents who tried to flee plunged into the river which is full from the rain. Many drowned,” Modu Balumi, a resident of the village, told newsmen.

“By our latest toll we have 150 people either (shot dead) or drowned in the attack. The gunmen deliberately killed a fisherman who tried to save drowning residents of the village.”  Balumi said the bodies of many of the drowned were picked out by locals several kilometres away.

News of the attack was slow to emerge because the militants have destroyed telecom masts around the village, around 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Yobe State capital Damaturu, since the insurgency began in 2009. “Most residents, particularly women and children, ran towards the river in confusion,”said Bukar Tijjani, another villager, who confirmed the death toll.

“They were pursued by the gunmen who kept firing at them. In the frantic effort to escape they jumped into the river, which was full to the brim.” A local government official confirmed the attack but put the death toll much lower, at around 50.

Massacre

The ambush came during the region’s peak rainy season, when most waterways in northeastern Nigeria are swollen and can flow with dangerous speed. The village was still reeling from a raid by suspected Boko Haram militants on July 31 when at least 10 people were killed by gunmen who burned homes, food silos and livestock.

‎The Gujba area of Yobe state, where Kukuwa-Gari village is located, has been hit hard by Boko Haram violence in the past but had seen relative calm since troops reclaimed it in March. In September 2013 scores of students of an agricultural college in the area were massacred as they slept in their dormitories.

In February last year dozens of students of a boarding secondary school in the main town of Buni Yadi were also killed in a gun attack on their hostels. Boko Haram claimed responsibility for both attacks. The jihadist militia, which has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, has waged a violent campaign for a separate Islamic homeland in the northeast which has seen more than 15,000 deaths since 2009.

The military under President Muhammadu Buhari’s predecessor Goodluck Jonathan was heavily criticised for poor handling of the insurgency and its failure to free more than 200 schoolgirls abducted from the northeastern town of Chibok in April last year.

Nigeria’s new leader, who came to power on May 29 vowing to destroy Boko Haram, replaced his military chiefs last week, ordering them to end the insurgency within three months.

Anti-terror force

Since May, the militants have stepped up their campaign with a wave of raids, bombings and suicide attacks which have left more than 1,000 people dead in Nigeria alone, according to an AFP count.  The Islamists have also carried out deadly ambushes across Nigeria’s borders and in recent weeks suicide bombers, many of them women, have staged several attacks in Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad.

A five-nation regional force of 8,700 troops from Nigeria and its neighbours has been set up to fight Boko Haram and is expected to deploy imminently. Buhari told a national security gathering in Abuja on Monday his government would employ “at least an extra 10,000 police officers” and set up a federal anti-terrorism task force to crush the rebellion.

Chadian leader Idriss Deby declared on August 12 that efforts to combat Boko Haram had succeeded in “decapitating” the group and would be wrapped up “by the end of the year”.

Deby told reporters in the capital N’Djamena that Boko Haram was no longer led by the fearsome jihadist commander Abubakar Shekau and that his successor, whom he named as Mahamat Daoud, was open to talks. But Shekau dramatically rebuffed the claim in an audio recording released on Sunday and authenticated by security analysts, dismissing the Chadian head-of-state as a “hypocrite” and a “tyrant”.

Any government that can't secure the lives and property of its citizens within its borders (at the least) from enemy forces is a failed government. Any army that can't defend the territorial integrity of its country is a failed army. That Boko haram has survived this long is more than sufficient proof that the Nigerian Armed Forces is in dire straits, and in need of total reform. Or how else can you explain why a multi-billion dollar (supposedly) trained forces can't evolve efficient combat strategies to quickly obliterate a ragtag militia group with a predominantly attrition battle strategy? Boko Haram is perhaps like a boys scout in comparison to the Nigeria armed forces for peet's sake! So how a "boy scout" band of rebels have been able to successfully hold their own against the Nigerian Armed forces beats my imagination. Under no circumstances whatsoever is this acceptable, tolerable or pardonable - there's just no excuse whatsoever that can justify it. President Buhari needs to step up his game with lightning speed. No doubt PDP handed over a Nigeria marinated in corruption and insecurity principally to him. How best he solves the "Corruption and Insecurity" plaguing the country at this time will surely define his legacy as the President and CIC of the Federal Republic. How many more citizens are going to die for nothing angry?

How is it that these people get their weapons even tanks and armoured vehicles undetected!! How did they get the shipment through the boarders of same Nigeria!! Come on! this is just a war business where arminition companies in US and around the world are trying to sell their commodities you know and it is been said that war business is the only business where profits are counted in Us dollars and loses in lives so the investors has nothing to loss.
So from my own view of boko haram it is an influenced business war like many wars going on around the world now.
These types of war are difficult to resolve because of the huge profit made by these companies from the war where both conflicting sides can be buying arms from same company unknowingly through contactors. May God help us all.

One of the major reason GEJ was called clueless was because his administration couldn't win war with BH. APC PR worked perfectly well here.

By extension, any administration that is not winning war will be called clueless until it wins the war.

Hence, for now PMB is clueless.

For some asking somebody like Me to give him time while lives and property are going down everyday are paying disservice and lip service to Nigeria.
