Your post showed that your devoid of good reasoning. Is it that you don't know that the arms and ammunition meant for our soldiers are being sold to Boko Haram. The soldiers receives one of the poorest salary of all the federal govt agencies, yet they can't voice out. |

ratiken: BBC will be quick to report mutiny but will never acknowledge progress. The fact they gloat at our failure does not disqualify the fact of such a failure. Our boys are ill equipped and do not want to die for corrupt politicians and generals 1 Like |

bunch of heartless and greedy soldiers. all they think about is their pocket and lifes. they swore an oath to protect typical Nigerians. Government has promised and provided all that they have demanded to fight this problem but all they are thinking about themselves. Government is doing the very best but this selfish soldiers will not do what they were employed to do. Government should sack and chase them away. after reading that, i bet you are very angry with such a stupid comment. but please do the following before replying with insults. replace the word " soldier" with 1. doctors 2. lecturers thank you. 5 Likes |

1United1: They are right! When the Commander-In-Chief is busy commandeering their wealth into his personal vault while preparing to extend his looting years by another 4 years using every available illegitimate process, the poor soldiers who ordinary should be equipped with extraordinary warfare as the military budget suggests are left to fight with clubs, daggers and outdated non functional tanks! 1 Like |

When the Governor of Borno said two years ago that the BOKO HARAM islamists are better ARMED AND MOTIVATED THAN THE NIGERIAN ARMY . EVERYONE said the man is not suppose to talk like that or put it bluntly. EVEN GEJ was angry during the so called presidential media chats. Now how comes that the Government had not solve this problems all this years?What does it takes to equip the division fighting this war?how many soldiers require this equipments,?what kind of motivation do this soldiers need?who is responsible for what? This goes to show that the Government don't care about issues that affects the masses. This also shows that this Government is grossly irresponsible and incompetent. 5 Likes |

I'm afraid I'm with the soldiers on this one. Billions of naira have been released, yet: 1) no new combat aircraft to provide the necessary combat are support 2) no transport helicopters to transport troops to and from hotspots and serve as CASEVAC 3) no attack helicopters to provide the necessary CAS 4) No adequate nos of MRAPs or armoured vehicles to convey the troops safely to the front. Just soft skinned pickups that are under - armed. 5) not enough ammo for troops in the frontline. We have a long way to go. 3 Likes |

teekay12: If we don't do something quickly it will be too late, the next thing you will here now is that they have captured Borno state remember this BH are doing the same thing with ISIS who have now captured 1\3 of iraq, moreover we are moving toward election most of the soldier will be withdrawn fir election duty. Before you know it they will capture the entire NE. So honestly let us swallow our pride and invite other nations that can help us. Expecially nation that don't have colonial tendencies |

Nigeria is a nation good at exaggerating its faults, Ebola is an extant example . Most information from Nigeria isn't trustworthy so if you're a guy contemplating joining Bokoharam, and feeling encouraged by the BBC 's gleeful assessment of Nigeria soldiering , you had better think twice. 1 Like |

Our brave soldiers are not incompetent. But he has a point: moral is actually very low NOT because of the lack of will to fight (believe me, the boys are eager to fight), but the lack of the much needed tools to execute this war. Minus air cover, the troops are outgunned by BH. |

HAH: Honestly the government are not helping this men that volunteered themselves to fight for the nation.my brother you have spoken the real truth. This country is filled corrupt men. All the rich men use their position to give officers port to their children and siblings. When it comes to real war, they will all chicken out. what is so hard in getting a good weapon for our soldiers? The ogas are busy sharing the money. This corrupt big men wants to destroy our country for us ooo. The worst part is that those who have the real heart to fight this battle are not allow to enter the army. Like the lists released last week for short service is pure evidence that these men are useless to always politcized our forces. Country like israel, russian, britain, even us do not do this kind of nonsense. Shame to nigerian army! 4 Likes |

Pple ar putting their lives on line for u to be safe and u ar in nairaland talking rubbish with ur free mb. [b]Erm.. Me I don go school go become Engineer.. I dey do my work well.. Them don go school choose to become soldier, make dem tooo do their work well. Your post no get head or tail.. If them know say the job too hard for them, make dem resign. But rather than to dey shout say dem want make we give them nuclear bomb before dem fit fight terrorists, make dem learn how to use the guns wey dem already get. The Nigerian Army is better equipped than Boko Haram and I stand by it. What do Boko Haram have in their arsenal that the Nigerian Army would say they dont have in their Munitions depot?! They also have Air superiority which Boko Haram does not have.. The Nigerian Army has countless numbers of Tanks and APCs which Boko haram does not have half as much as.. The Nigerian Army has Cannons, Mortars, functional radios, e.t.c and above all and endless re-supply and back-up. All I have seen with Boko haram in terms of weapons are; - AK-47s and other such clibre Assault Rifles. - RPG's -30Cals and 50Cal Machine Guns. Whatelse?! Abeg talk another matter jor.. If I wanted to be a soldier, I would have been a darn good soldier like Rambo. [/b] 6 Likes |

Even if some of those soldiers survive the war, they know that they will be discarded once they leave service, their future is not guarranteed that the nation they served putting down their lives on the lifeline will remember them. They are watching the kind of treatment govt is metting out to their fellow comrades and vetrans who are no longer in service. What is the government doing to appreciate their sacrifices for honouring a call to defend the territorial intergrity of their nation. This is 4yrs now that goverment have refused to implement their 53% pension arrears let alone harmonizing der pension. Every year they will continue to deceive them that their arrears is captured in that year's budget and at the end of the day, all na wash only for them to keep sharing millions of naira every yr in the name of armed forces rememberance. Who are they remembering when the ones that are alive are left uncared for. So if you were those soldiers, tell me how can you give your best only to be used and dumped afterward. 1 Like |
