When will Nigeria buy the army the kind of guns U.S. army is using instead of wooden Ak47?

The BK terrorists are better armed, with better strategies based on my Msc thesis read research findings

Corruption won't let better equipment get to the troops at the theatre of operations. RiP to gallant, but under-armed soldiers! !

I hope nothing happened to their uniforms, because the material is very valuable.

btw, how will boko haram not kill strippers and brake dancers on khaki? who still takes Nigeria army serious these days?

Abeg boko haram,keep testing your arsenal with them.

God bless the gallant soldiers for their sacrifice.

Before the end of this year, we must have crunch all the jobless lazy idiotic pigs of terrorist.
