Omg, i feel like crying!!! What a pity.Is it not the same PMB who condemned a 6 weeks war that almost finished the bokoharam menance? Assuming GEJ didn't politicicze the issue,BH would have long be gone. Assuming Nigeria didn't terminate the contract with south African Mercs we would have won the war against bokoharam.I am saddened. #never again must security become politicized# Bokoharam became a long drawn plan right from OIC in the 80s and a well orchestrated long time plan would take hard to defeat, but with God all things are possibile. Lord have mercy on Nigeria.Christians failed to listen to prophetic warnings about a future BH in the past. They thought by winning and dinning with moslems it would bring peace.But Now its a bitter lesson as disunited christians are facing a well organised foe |

alcmene: [size=13pt] False News !!! [/size] The above story is a big lie, that photo is NOT Nigerian army. CEO of STTEP South Africa Col. Eeben Barlow has spoken.... "Eeben says: October 22, 2015 at 3:55 pm Hello All, Sadly Rafiu Ajakaye needs to generate a story but this one is devoid of all truth. And then they have the gall to call us ‘mercenaries’. STTEP has NOT been asked to return to Nigeria and we very much doubt we will be asked to return. We did what we could in our 3 months there and that is long over. I am amazed at how so-called journalists are able to generate utter rubbish and get paid. Best wishes to you all and especially the men of 72 Mobile Strike Force, 7 Infantry Division. Rgds, Eeben" https://beegeagle./2015/10/20/multinational-joint-task-force-commences-operations-against-bokoharam-participating-contingents-to-operate-in-their-home-countries/#comment-98941 # StopSpeadingRumours . 3 Likes |

menix: Nigeria is a giant of Africa on the papers cos of our over population..... Nigeria should be bigger than Russia in population yet Russia does the unimaginable..... We have no military from the moment the military serves some part of the country better, Nigerian military has a stipulated height that you be before you join but it's not observed for some just to prove that they are the owners of Nigeria...... During a very special test of a surface to sea missile delivery system being developed to be compatible with F-15 A and 22 raptor, I was part of the nuclear/electronics physicists in the team of engineers invited by McDonnell Douglas company (boeing defense, space and security company)...... When we got there, on the course of our work, found out that South African government ordered 70 pcs of F-15, not just that.... They are modifying the radar system..... I was so happy for my African root .... I was so impressed with the south African government. ..... I even confirmed they have orders from Russia too. We as Nigerians we often believe that the Nigerian army are good on ground operations... Say who.... Who in this 21 century does ground operations without a very vibrant air force..... Our air force still snap photos with photon jets, often used for air training by the IDF, We are busy allowing our military generals to grow pot belly ... ... We continuously allow our military operate as a joint taskforce with the police.. What do you expect? Coming to boko Haram.... Mr president proved to be outdated in the modern warfare and he has confused his vision with lies.... Besides I don't see why Nigeria can defeat BH, considering the number of northern brothers in the military.... Unless we engage them with non northerners' or foreign mercenaries we can not get it right as most army generals sell out coordinates even before operation starts. Think of it ... Wiping BH is no big deal if the north cane be sincere to themselves and if the government can forget the dependency on the the US and face Russia for electronic weapon..... With electronic warfare .... All we need is to employ the services of a foreign mercenaries just like GEJ did, with surveillance and near perfect coordinates we can be able to triangulate their strong hoods and camps in sambisa forest.... Then station an electronic tanks (surface to surface capabilities tanks ) to a close radius, with the coordinates, we can nuke the dam strong hood to ground zero, the send in F-15A (air to surface capabilities) or just two A-10 which can fly low and wipe them out.... The rest is the job of the ground troops. Though this can be realistic if the northern brothers are sincere ... Cos almost every home over there protects one or two terrorist. Finally the day Nigerians will understand the mistake they did with this man they elected as president that day maybe too late. 2 Likes |

Rubbish post 4rm an online blogger to create controversy online. The army has an official mouthpiece and they've not said anything about such. Besides, STTEP was here to train our troops and the impact of the training was immediately felt. Google 72 mobile strike force and see for yourself. Mercenaries my foot. How can 250 people defeat BH? Yeyeh dey smell. 1 Like |

My friend, stop spewing trash! What's so commendable about the fact that bihari has refused to use his brain or that Nigerians have chosen to be brainwashed of their common sense that instead of mounting pressure on the government to get rid of their sponsors who they already know, they choose to commend and encourage the govt. to keep going after them boko boys, wasting our limited resources amisdst our prevailing economic crisis. Common sense is indeed not common. The consequences are not far fetched. Some of us are already paying with our dear lives. Until we insist that the sponsors be fished out and eliminated, this threat to our national security will only get worse cos these book guys are already everywhere other than the north! And for those who care to know and act promptly just watch your back cos in other states they now disguise as Fulani herdsmen! |

Age has taken its toll on whatever that was left in our general. Dude is bereft of ideas. Unfortunately, most of the idiiots who weren't there in his first coming, refused to listen. Now, is there anyone out there who is still in any form of doubt that we have been scammed? |

You will never defeat Boko Haram, if you think they are only located in certain bases, including the Sambisa forest. They are embedded among you, maybe even in the army itself. They are as versatile as any guerrilla army should be and are motivated by religion and use it to recruit manpower and raise funds.When you push them out of the Sambisa, they appear in Abuja. The only way to defeat them is to understand that you need to win the hearts and minds of Nigerians, first and foremost, thereby reinforcing the Nigerian army by denying Boko Haram any chance of getting support from among the people, particularly Moslems and Christians who love money (BH has lots of money). In short, swallow your pride and ask for help from Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe. They know exactly what to do. South Africa are good at mass mobilization (you need every Nigerian citizen to play a role, however small, even just to pray) and urban guerrilla tactics which BH is also using, Zimbabweans are particularly good at rural guerrilla warfare, Mozambique is very good at fighting and defeating terrorists who are trained and supported by a foreign country. THE FIGHT AGAINST BH IS 80% POLITICAL AND ONLY 20% MILITARY. Unless you fully understand that and internalize it and take the logical decicion and action, you will continue suffer serious casualties and BH will become stronger and stronger. And please, save yourself a heart attack. Don't put deadlines on this one ( if you do, keep them secret) because terrorists and their tactics will frustrate, demoralize and weaken your army. Remember, you're fighting terrorists and they are using guerrilla tactics. Guerilla tactics make a strong and efficient army useless, especially if you don't understand that their Sambisa is the people. While you are busy buying military hardware just be aware you could also be buying it for BH. |

vodkat:I was opportuned to read a debrief on the effects of the strike team, and trust me, I totally understood why we were not making headway with our fight against boko haram using conventional tactics, These South african guys were crucial in chasing them back because a strike team is like a dagger, always probing and chasing the enemy into the hands of the on-coming army, a strike team is invisible until they strike( exactly the way boko haram operate) it was due to the strike teams effort that boko haram was confined to sambissa forest.If u ask me,i would say buhari was wrong to terminate their contracts before they finished training our soldiers on unconventional warfare.
