Zero sympathy to waste.

They have been defeated technically.

The funny thing about these killings by Boko Haram is it's beginning to look normal whenever the news comes up.

NwaAmaikpe:

Where have you been, bro?

hmmm

The source needs to be checked, must be IPOB reporters.
Book haram has technically been defeated since 2016.
They are just writing this to discredit the best President Nigeria has ever had.
Long live Jubril
Buratai carry go

Buhari is busy sharing handshakes in Japan...


while the nation boils

Zombies are walking dead things to support Evil

Technically defeated result

Only God can help us in this country

These Technically defeated people again

The guy who grills stuffs and Ngene lady should see what their Boss's incompetence is causing Nigerians.
Why can't these current service chiefs be relieved of their positions.

Na WA oooo

Nawah for naija o!!

May d soul of our fallen hero rest in peace..... ���

What a failed state, while the clueless president and his team will arrest and recycle members of the sect into society in the name of repentance. I remembered the active days of the Niger delta struggle how the airforce used to indiscriminately bomb villages in the name of fighting militants but now the are very careful not to kill cows grazing while the so called president is busy distributing pictures of himself picking his teeth. Gradually, the technically defeated boko haram is gradually dissipating the army...

So BH now use rocket propelled granite?
There is trouble.

May God protect us !!!!!

Buhari has ended Boko Haram, built railway from Lagos to Ibadan, rehabilitated Apapa - Lagos - Ibadan expressway, built power plants in Osun state and this has turned Nigeria to one of the fastest growing economy in the world; says Yorubas, very selfish set of people

Nigeria Army has plenty enemy within.

This is a lie by bloggers.

Buhari is the best thing ever to happen to this country.

Bokoharam has been defeated technically.

The media is not fair to PMB government.

We will make PMB life president.

These are IPOB lies.

Buhari is the best for Nigeria all round.

There are so many "Judas" in the Nigerian military.

Fighting war when there is no war.



Hmmm! This is not the best time for anyone to think of joining military o except you have the passion.

So this soldiers went to attact the north and where ambushed. Attact on boko is attack on the north- Buhari

Why would he be sad, was he the one that killed them? How can an enemy you claim to have defeated, continue beating you black and blue, home and away? The blood of this soldiers is on PMB an APC government head.
