Mynd44, lalasticlala...in memory of 158

And so

Come on, flush them out!

Get your own drones and stop complaining. Everytime they collect money for weapons yet we no dey see any

While Nigerian army uses obsolete equipment?

It's a lie jo. BH that NA has defeated since.
Abi is that not what they said?

The N/A knows how to complain....they are without strategies. only concerned about salaries..especially, the top officers. I beleive they fear the boko boys too.

Again,they should go and hire back those south African mercenaries, those ones know how to deal with the boko boys

Fresh lies

This is deep

When FG was paying ransoms to criminals and letting go of terrorists from prison, they were not thinking abi. I don't blame em at all. We are puns in their chess game.

Racoon:


My brother that is the jusst the joke the Buhari government have been with this BH issue.They kept lying shameless about it.

MajorJeffery:
Western education is evil but it produces drones, ammunition, phones and vehicles those idiots are using. Who is the fool here?

It produced the phone in your hand. Who is the fool now?

The Nigerian Army has said that it has discovered that Boko Haram terrorists have started using drones and foreign fighters.

The Army in a statement by Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman on Wednesday said ‘we have noticed daring moves by the terrorists, increased use of drones against our defensive positions and infusion of foreign fighters in their ranks. These potent threats require us to continually review our operations.

The Army also expressed gratitude to the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) for visiting the troops including some of the wounded officers and soldiers in the hospitals saying ‘we thank His Excellency the Executive Governor and good people of Borno State who have taken the brunt of the nefarious activities of the Boko Haram terrorists. Our gratitude also goes to the Honourable Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs, who have all shown concern and visited the troops. The Nigerian Army also thanks all patriotic and concerned Nigerians who have sent in messages of goodwill and support for the Nigerian Army.’

Read full statement below

In continuation with our resolve to keep Nigerians well informed of the activities of the Nigerian Army, I will be briefing you on the recent happenings in the North East of Nigeria.

In the recent weeks, Nigerian troops deployed in the North East of Nigeria under Operation LAFIYA DOLE have come under series of attacks by large numbers of Boko Haram Terrorists.


Specifically, the Nigerian Army troops deployed at KUKAWA, NGOSHE, KARETO and GAJIRAM came under attack at different times within a 2 week period from 2 – 17th November 2018. Each of these incidents were successfully repelled and several members of the terrorists were killed. However, a total of 16 personnel were killed in the course of these attacks while 12 soldiers were wounded in action and are receiving treatment at our military medical facilities.

As you are all aware, Nigeria is contributing troops to the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) which has its headquarters in N’djamena, in the Republic of Chad. One of the Nigerian battalions (157 TF Bn), deployed under the auspices of the MNJTF was attacked at their Base on the outskirts of a town called METELE on 18th November 2018.

During the attack, the troops were forced to withdraw and several casualties were recorded. As at date 23 personnel were killed in action and 31 personnel were wounded in action and have been evacuated to several medical hospitals within Borno State. The Nigerian Army commiserates with the MNJTF at this difficult time and wishes to state that all necessary support will be rendered to the MNJTF to reverse this resurgence of the Boko Haram Terrorists.

The Nigerian Army wishes to further commiserate with the families of the gallant officers and soldiers that paid the supreme price in the course of defending their fatherland. The sacrifices of these fallen heroes will not be in vain. We also wish all those wounded in action speedy recovery and assure them of our continued support and care.

The incident of 18th November 2018, happened at a time when the Nigerian Army was planning to hold the Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference for 2018 in Benin City, Edo State. On account of this incident, the Conference had to be moved from Benin City to Maiduguri to enable the Nigerian Army leadership get closer to the troops on the ground and to better appraise our activities, assess our performance and identify our shortcomings as an Army.

We are also sensitive to the fact that the nation is approaching an election year and thus we must be prepared to assist in providing security for the peaceful conduct of elections. Accordingly, the theme for this year’s annual conference is aptly titled, “Optimizing the Operational Efficiency of the Nigerian Army Towards Safeguarding Democracy and National Security in Nigeria”. Let me at this juncture assure all Nigerians and indeed the international community that the NA will work optimally, in conjunction with other security agencies to provide a secure environment for peace and unity in Nigeria.

Since 2015, the Nigerian Army in conjunction with sister services and other security agencies have systematically degraded the capabilities and capacity of Boko Haram terrorists and many successes were achieved. However, in the last 2 – 3 months, we have noticed daring moves by the terrorists, increased use of drones against our defensive positions and infusion of foreign fighters in their ranks. These potent threats require us to continually review our operations.

At this point permit me to implore all of us to spare a thought for the brave men and women of the Nigerian Army who paid the supreme price for the security of Nigeria. The Nigerian Army will continue to support the families of these brave officers and soldiers and pray that their souls rest in perfect peace. Let us also not forget the men, women and children who have been killed or affected by the atrocities of the terrorists. It is for their sake that this war against terror must be won.

The Nigerian Army wishes to express its gratitude to the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) who has visited the troops including some of the wounded officers and soldiers in the hospitals. We also thank His Excellency the Executive Governor and good people of Borno State who have taken the brunt of the nefarious activities of the Boko Haram terrorists. Our gratitude also goes to the Honourable Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs, who have all shown concern and visited the troops. The Nigerian Army also thanks all patriotic and concerned Nigerians who have sent in messages of goodwill and support for the Nigerian Army.

Finally, the Nigerian Army, wishes to reiterate and pledge its total commitment to the defence of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We wish to reassure all Nigerians of the commitment of the Nigerian Army to defend our country at all costs. We shall also continue to remain apolitical, professional and responsive in the discharge of our constitutional roles.

IF NORTHERN NIGERIA FORGET ABOUT THEIR FEAR OF LOOSING NIGER DELTA CRUDE OIL MONEY AND ACCEPT THE RESTRUCTURING OF OUR BATTERED FEDERALISM.

There will be a gradual solution to the Boko Haram insurgency.

The north is hell bent on benefiting from Niger delta crude oil and they do not want to spend them to call the insurgent for talks with a view to granting them a peace deal in the form of con-federalism.

NORTHERN NIGERIA FORGET CRUDE OIL AND RESTRUCTURE NORTHERN NIGERIA FOR YOUR OWN LONG TERM PEACE AND STABILITY.

OUR SOUTHERN SOLDIERS WASTING THEIR PRECIOUS LIVES FIGHTING TO SAVE THE NORTH FROM BOKO HARAM WILL LEARN VERY SOON THAT THEY DIE IN VAIN AND THE OPPRESSIVE NORTHERN PAYMASTER DANCE OVER THEIR DEAD BODIES IN THE GRAVE YARD.

Southern soldiers stop wasting your lives for a crisis that has no target end date.

why won't them use drones, when you keep paying them millions as Ransom.... you rescue one civilian and kill 1000 others

Babysho:


It produced the phone in your hand. Who is the fool now?

U didn't get d guys sarcasm

i thought they clearly denied it

They should shut up and fight that is what they are paid for why the noise boko haram this boko haram that, if they were to harass defenceless citizens they wouldn't hesitate.

Realdeals:
The Nigerian Army just indicted themselves with that statement, they should cover their eyes in shame.

Lmao! some sensless people think nigerian army is strong because Ipob has not resorted to arms struggle, Kanu is just a noise maker otherwise this is the right time to strike and show the zombies that there is nothing special about their aboki-ridden army!

Product of slush fund our beloved President gave to them in form of ransom

SenatorBudoma:
This is an insult against the memory of the dead 158 soldiers.

Satan cannot lie like this Nigerian Army people.

Real bitterleaf insult.

Then you use your own

We should start to gather and beat any Nigerian Army that shows himself in the city!

We've known this since last year nah...

what i still don't understand is where is the 1B$ that president buhari said he's using to fight boko haram, and why our military men's are still suffering from this boko guys,
no one is to believe this military always claim they don win Boko Haram until this happened and our government are the birds of the same feather flock together

Pls I really need clarification on this bh issue, what is really their agitation as in what are they fighting for? Ipob are agitating for referendum, Niger Delta militants are fighting for equal rights on there oil. I really need to know the reason behind this their struggle cos am just not happy about all this killing here and there. Is is really difficult for us to dwell together in peace and love, live our lives and die at a ripe age? Is total peace difficult to experience as a country?

Tell this millitary men to stop disgracing the name of military force all in the name of propaganda and foreign assistance

RevenGeMission:

Someone went to dubai for 1 week upon his return boko haram gave him video of attack on army

FactCheck: ISIS has been extensively deploying drone even the ones that drop chemical and high explosive charges on soldiers.

These drones ranges from off the shelf commercial drones to DIY custom built drones.

This Bokoharam war needs more of a mechanical and artificial than a human approach to mitigate the loss of lives on the part of our soldiers. From my own opinion all that's needed is to withdraw all our troops fron the North East calculate the approximate land mass of Sambisa forest and level the while place with just one nuclear bomb. Problem temporarily solved.
But that will never happen in this country cos some Generals high up in the echelon of hierarchy is feeding fat from the spoils of this Bokoharam war.

what are u guys good for
