rawtruth:


Boko haram has already visited me through the horrible things they are doing to fellow Nigerians. ...You sounded emotional. Try and get the sense of the general's response.

Dude the General's response made ABSOLUTELY no sense at all, period!!!
I believe you know what it means to read between the lines. He basically accused her of LYING!!

And he is supposed to be the Army's public relations officer!

atlwireles:


The most successful weapon Boko haram has deployed to date is propaganda. The likes of OBY have been instrumental with their success rate.

I just don't understand people, was CHIBOK GIRLS a Propaganda? The only way people would not make alarm is if our Army are actually on top situations, in the past, alarm as been raised and things end up going bad because nothing was done about them, the woman has not done anything wrong, anything we can do both to help the Fg, military or Ourselves should be DONE, we can't just leave it in their hands alone - WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR CHIBOK GIRLS.

And a general on top of the situation had the time to do all that. And yet "they are on top of the situation", well as some had rightly said, many youngsters typing here do not feel and know the havoc Boko Haram is wreaking in the North.

sevule:


Psychological evaluation?? If Boko Haram was pillaging your village and murdering people there, would you be making such asinine comments?

A woman had the guts to call the Nigerian army to order and weaklings who call themselves men are all over Nairaland raining abuse on her. People like you make me sick. Apparently you don't care what Boko Haram does in the rest of Nigeria as long as it doesn't affect you directly. Remeber the Abuja bombings AND DO NOT think for a second that you are somehow immune to Boko Haram.

Any mentally stable person obviously knows that Oby Ezekwesili did the right thing by calling the army's attention to this massacre. I do not care if she used twitter, facebook, 2go or even the post office to relay her message. For the rest of you criticizing her it is pretty obvious that the Boko haram scourge is yet to affect you directly which is why you can all be armchair critics.

Finally let us look at France's reaction to a terror attack that killed ONLY 20 people. There was an immediate, urgent and swift response from their police and armed forces and the suspects were promptly killed. Here in Nigeria THOUSANDS of people are being killed and the best thing our military force can do is to fight the war from the comfort of their Twitter handles.

I am always delighted when I see people who still act like human being here on nairaland

I have always said we don't have value for lives in this part of the world. People are typing nonsense simply because their family members are not directly involved. I remember back then in Kaduna during a religion conflict, while people were worried and concerned about their loved ones, one lady kept saying she had nothing to worry because afterall it's christians that were been killed but few minutes later her brother struggled home with his right hand hacked off. What goes around comes around. We must be careful how we handle issues of national interest

IamDejman:
When I insulted the army recently, people complained

The NA is one I so much despise. What insolence.

Cos they were never equiped under previous govts, even though the crisis was imminent. Now someone is working hard to change the cause of events, here we are throwing mud. If we do not understand a thing, we should just shut up.

I HAVE TOLD THIS WOMAN TO GO AND OPEN HAIR DRESSING SALOON SOMEWHERE, OR SHE WANT TO START #BRINGBACKOURBIU?

Eziachi:
Really, he was on top of it?
The same am on top of it guy told us last time that he has signed a ceasefire with Boko Haram. Wasn't he?
If you were the one whose village has been ransacked and scattered, many killed, you won't be tolerating some idi.ot telling you he is on top of his when his men is on the run, faster than the civilians.
If he is on top of it, where did he find the time for Twitter war of words?

yoga, his office the social media, he ain't a front liner.



av u seen that they were truelly on top of it? check the thread on FP...

My friend we are talking abt a poorly equiped army by previous govts. We also saw how some countries refused to sell arms to Nigeria. The struggle by govt to get these equipment. We also witnessed the delays due to airline clearances by other nations, long journeys of ships to get these things delivered. Yet the military in the midst of all these is still repelling the BH boys. They are also humans with flesh and blood. They are also being killed by BH.
All we have to say is deride them, insult them. GOD IS WATCHING US.

Suljosh:
you're also abusing your mother.

Mad dog, for your information my mother will never behave in such clownish, hypocritical, opportunistic and ignominious manner. I guess your own strayed mother will jump at any chance to use national calamities for relevance?

hifaif:


How did she drag the incident further? She said she would ignore his insult and accept 'We are on top of the matter' and ended it politely by saying thanks. It was the general that called her back with another tweet.

www.nairaland.com/2094986/nigerian-defence-headquarters-releases-pictures

u see why she shldnt be petty sometimes... she took the matter far. sentiments aside, u know she was kinda overbearing calling d generals reply an insult. I'm sure he didn't intend to do so.

my opinion

Thank God for the bolded

Shut the f**k up boy

Akon419:
In US you don't insult an army officer and get away with it. Some citizens here in nigeria are abussing some privileges

Thanks for confirming you've never been to the US.

I am sick and tired of this OBY or ezekwesili whatever!!!....is very wrong to alert the soldiers of their job.....is like been to forward...do u want to tell me the soldier doesn't have a robust information system....Thank God the BIU attack was speedily attended to.....Kudos to the Nigeria Army...God keep giving them strength.

my opinion

Oby didn't seem to be aware that the military had repelled the terrorist attack. After she was informed, she said 'Much Thanks'. What the Spokesman should have done was to have left it as that and most probably told her not to take his reply as an insult.

mrofficial:
When will they be on top of Boko Haram?

. You think anybody can be on top BH? Anyone that tells you he can end terrorism is not telling you the truth. If it were that easy. America would have succeeded by now. How do you fight an enemy that does not follow the rules of engagement? Enemy that uses humans as shields? An enemy that does not mind killing himself to kill others. This thing is not magic for crying out loud! The least we owe our military is to support them not distract nor belittle them. The NA has lost men in this fight, and no good general would be happy about that. The NA are fighters and protectors not GOD or magicians. Any one that thinks they are not performing should go and enlist, or joint the vigilantes in BIU. I rest my case. SMH

MrPresident1:
Oby Ezekwesili should just go and sit down jare!
Kudos to the Nigerian Army.
Victory is from God alone.

Sir, sorry to say that any1's family killed by boko haram will have a way to understand Madam Oby, think about it.

All i have to say is that why can't our NA be on the offensive why are they always in the defensive, today BH will strike tommorrow NA will recapture, the same news daily why, where is information gathering why can't they pursue and dislodge BH from where they are hiding, where is the Airforce what the hell are they doing,there should be coordinated attacks on BH from air and ground forces, this war has been raging on for close to 5 yrs nw what are our Generals doing bout this.

The NA and Airforce for once should be on the offensive find this guys and chase them out of Naija if it comes to border fighting then Naija and Camerounian Soldiers should finish these guys let the governments put head together on how to moniter and Police our borders, the longer this war rages on, i tell u it will draw terrorists from other parts of the world Naija, but wat i can do to support is pray for our men in the war front

True that. As someone earlier said on this thread, a simple 'we are on top of the matter thanks' would have been better instead of going back and forth. So not military of him at all.

"He basically accused her of LYING!" ...That's your attempt at mind-reading. Not good enough. Don't become what you ordinarily won't be because you like someone else and despise the other. There was no reason for her to run tantrums.

It is General Olukolade and not General Olukayode

Attn: Ishilove, Seun, Ngwakwe

I agree with Olukolade on this one. Twitter is not the appropriate place to contact the military on security issues. Oby should have directed her public tweet to her followers and maybe used a DM to discuss with the army spokesman about her security questions.

Oby should stop distracting the army after all she don't know more than the army.

kgbd:
you shouldn't have quoted me......... you are so very unintelligent.

Thank u Mr.intelligent. U don't have a relative in the NA platoon currently on duty in the NE,dats y u can come to NL and say what u like.

Abeg educate more my sister,a lot of dis people can comment rubbish on NL don't av a relative in d army battalions currently fighting BH in d NE.

My question is what is the best and fastest way the General wants members of public to alert security personels about a possible attack.

Dont be fooled by the pictures released by the ARMY. Boko haram are not organized, they tend to leave after destruction ANd killing... the army only return to count losses.

Those paraded dead bodies are the victims of boko haram. Not boko haram themselves.

What would make a large swath of land desolate with wanton destruction? They operated without intervention. Trust the army at your own peril.

IBROHIM:
only a bastard like you will join in demanding for the certificate of a man that is by far greater than any of ur ancestors!!! Why didn't you ask in 2011 or were you not born then!!! You know that he's better than ur father and ur father can rule this country!!! So focus on issues!!! @corruption team!!!

Since you his 150 cows think he is too big to subject to the will of the people and show to the electorates his certificate, then you should advise him to stop seeking public office and remain in his daura village where animals like you can go and worship him or even go on pilgrimage if you want, there are millions of Nigerians without certificate and no one is asking them to show it, tell your god to go the needful. Oponu

MayorofLagos:
I think Ms Ezekwesili went overboard with her new found activism. Activists are supposed to use conflict resolution to bring about effective result in whatever message they are pushing or the cause they advocate.

Reading that exchnge, Oby was confrontational and not good,

did anybody hack ur account? I use to think apc members sacrifice their brain to some gods.

This General sounds very intelligent.... But wait oo... So we have priviledged citizens... #God punish poverty
