My brother Na CDS
Badeh Na our son

but when challenges occur , the CDS saved only his real, true and biological family!!! This is the faith that befall 80% of politicians supporters who fail to see the big picture ahead but believed growth and development is having someone from your village, religion, family or whatever at the top.

if Jonathan thinks election wont hold in adamawa ...yobe ...and bronu he is in for a big shock .........

And gombe too. Plaese tell us what will happen?
Aa

automaticcars:
This is very sad. Jonathan has taken this country to the brink of anarchy. He purposely doing this for the election not to hold in the Northeast or to get him another term when hell broke loose.

How did Badeh know there was going to be attack in Mubi? These people know more than they are telling us they know.

.


That means he is going to win.

if you think you ddnt type rubbish then you re in for a big shock.

ayukdaboss:
We all need to beg God for forgiveness for voting these clueless molesters into government. I mean it's too much and it's a pity my fellow southerners have been blinded by religious and tribal sentiments.

@Ibnsultan God Bless you for this writeup. Permit to share on my FB wall.

Good to go

Edcue"TANoids, open your eyes to see and use your brains to think.
The traitors you're supporting and fighting for will abandone you after you have cheered them to destroy your country.

Ibnsultan making sense for once. I support you on this one.

What of those that don't have any means of transport? Jonathan and his crew are total failure.

We can't just be posting these things only on nairaland.....we have other powerful social media platforms such as 'twitter'!
Let the international community know what is really happening in nigeria,we need help asap!

The CDS knew of the attack on Mubi
He did not order for immediate re-enforcement or
Provide warning to defenceless civilians to leave
All he did was to evac his Family

This further shows all you ddumb nigerians that the politicians and criminal elites don't care about the people. I wonder why they keep suporting Goodluck who don't seem to care bout innocent Nigerians dying like chickens but enjoys using them to settle political scors

Wow! Op you deserve a standing ovation for this thought-provoking piece!
Our thieving politicians, irrespective of party affiliate, can only strive and continue to loot us blind because we the mass lack a united front to stand against their misrule.
Divide and rule is their most lethal weapon to make us remain subservient.

ALEX BADEH IS FROM VINTIM AND NOT MUBI.THIS STORY IS FAKE

Hundreds are still missing
While others are death
All because the had trust in the Military to protect them
But at the end the soldiers were abandoned by their CDS so were the locals abandoned by the soldiers

FAKE STORY AND LYING OP.ALEX BADEH'S FAMILY WOULD BE KILOMETERS AWAY FROM ADAMAWA STATE LONG BEFORE BOKO HARAM EVEN ATTACKED MUBI.

KNOWING HIS FAMILY WOULD BE PRIME TARGETS, HE WOULD HAVE LONG MOVED THEM LIKE ANYONE ELSE WOULD.

TINUBU RAN AWAY TO EUROPE AND ABANDONED ABIOLA IN PRISON. HE IS THE PERFECT COWARD

There u go.
Vimtim was over ran by BH the same day as mubi
The two towns are close to each other.

The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, on Tuesday said the attack on his hometown, Vimtim, in Adamawa state, should not be seen as a sign that the Nigerian military is helpless as being insinuated, adding that the attack was on Nigeria.

Nigeria millitary needs an overhaul....

The electorates are just like pawns in the game of chess, easily sacrifices to protect the Officials. Thesame situation obtains worldwide but Nigeria's is just simply barbaric!!

Same thoughts coursed through my mind the other day a picture of Fayose's sons were uploaded here. People went; "wow, see fweshness", "hmm, doro hansome", "awww, cute dudes", "kai, money good oo", "god punish poverty". These "handsome, fwesh, good looking and cute" guys are the people you would never find in the streets causing trouble during, before or after elections, cos their lives cannot be put on the line for whatever reason! When politicians stir up violence you can't find them in the streets wielding sticks, throwing rocks, carrying placards or waving green leaves! You can't find them snatching ballot boxes from polling units. Hell, if possible they wouldn't be allowed to breath the same air that has been "contaminated" buy the breaths of you and I. They sit in their fortified bunkers and watch us rip ourselves apart over chaos they instigated.

Such a pity Nigerians can't see the handwriting on the wall.

The youth vigilante group known as the Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF), worried by the flurry of attacks launched by the Boko Haram sect in Adamawa, have sworn to launch an offensive against the insurgents.

Premium Times reports:
Expressing their willingness to take the battle against terror to the hideouts of the insurgents, the Adamawa State Coordinator of the Civilian JTF, Bako Goni, said he and his colleagues were not afraid of death.

“Every soul must taste death and therefore we are not afraid,” Mr. Goni said.

He said his group is optimistic that with their sticks (Gora in Hausa) and other local arms, they will flush out the insurgents from their hideouts if the Federal Government gave them a go-ahead.

Mr. Goni said if more people in the state could join the civilian JTF, they would put an end to the insurgency which started five years ago.

Exceptional write up bro...More powers to your elbows...

Op, to be fair to your judgement, if you or anyone were in the CDS shoes we would have done the same.Regrettably, that act affected the already bruised moral of the troops on ground. I am sorry to say, but the obvious is that members of the NA army do not believe in dying for this union called nigeria. My advice to the men and boys, christain or muslim from states affected by boko haram activities is to arm themselves and defend their town and villages, @ least they have something to die for.

Unfortunately

These stories of helicopters will eventually turn out to be lies

We need revolution in this country....... Mental revolution. As for me, no politician can brainwashed me to vote along political, ethnicity or religion line.

We are talking of the CDS. He has an information of an incoming attack. In military parlance that's called an Intel. That's is a critical information. He sat on it. That's called treason. In a sane and uncompromise country, heads would have started rolling.

Ibnsultan:
The Helicopters That Evacuated CDS Badeh’s Family From Mubi: A Lesson For All Nigerians
It has been reported that few hours before the attack, helicopters flew in and evacuated his family members from the town

Mubi, the biggest commercial town in Adamawa state, was thrown into chaos the day Boko Haram descended on it and the people found themselves running for their lives. The terrorists shot sporadically, killing a lot of people while those who could escape jumped into any available car to run to safety. Christians, Muslims, Igbos, Yorubas, Tivs, Hausas and any tribe or religion, jumped onto any vehicle that was headed outside the town. Soldiers scampered onto trucks with civilians, begging to be saved, hundreds of people who could not get a vehicle ran into the hills. In their frantic effort to stay alive, no one paid attention to anybody’s religion or ethnicity before asking them for help or helping them to stay alive. It was a community of people, united by their desire to escape the common enemy that hunted them all without discrimination. Ethnicity and religion vanished, all they were left with was their humanity. Those climbing the hills stayed together, helping one another stay on their feet as they all tried to survive.

The most interesting part of the narrative is that the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Badeh is from the same town of Mubi. It has been reported that few hours before the attack, helicopters flew in and evacuated his family members from the town. The chief of Defence staff by the way, is the most senior military officer in Nigeria and he controls the army, navy and air force. Before that sad day, someone from Mubi would have boasted that the Chief of Defence Staff is from their home town. But on the day that it mattered the most, he evacuated only his family members and abandoned everyone else to their fate. It means he had information of the impending attack and as the most senior military commander, he did not fly into the town to lead his men in battle to defend the community. He quietly saved only his family and left even the soldiers without an inspiring commander to motivate them to engage the terrorists and defend the town.

One lesson all Nigerians must learn from this story is that as a people, all we have is our neighbours. When you need some help at home, you knock on the door of your neighbour. The president, governor, senator or minister is not there to help you. Why then should you continue to fight your neighbour because of a man or woman who cares only about his own family? Our elites may deceive us about sharing the same religion or ethnicity with us, but time and again, they have proven that they do not care. We have been fools, killing one another on the basis of religion and ethnicity while they stay united across all the divides and plunder our wealth. The time has come for us to rise, educate one another and unite to fight our common enemy. The politicians are our enemies and not the poor struggling men and women in our neighbourhoods.

What now will the people of Mubi boast about as the gain of having their son as the chief of Defence Staff? If you go to Otueke where Jonathan comes from, there are many people who live in excruciating poverty! There is still a lot of poverty and suffering in the home towns of all our governors, ministers, parliamentarians and former presidents, while they and their families live in scandalous affluence. The minister of petroleum spent over 10 billion Naira on a private jet. That money can end the poverty of several communities in her state. Stella Oduah bought two cars with 225million Naira while there are people in her home town who can’t afford 500 Naira to feed their family in a day.

The time to throw away the sentiments is now! Support only a man or woman who has a just heart and will serve everyone and every community regardless of if they come from there or not. The moment anyone begins to talk to you about religion or ethnicity, reject him summarily! We need leaders who will unite us because our shared humanity is greater than any differences between us. And if someone does something wrong or fails in governance, do not support them simply because they’re your own. Share the message, teach those around you and brace up for a citizens action to root out bad governance, defeat terrorism and build a better society for everyone of us. We have hope and we must not lose that hope. We can turn around our country, all we need to do is unite our voices and raise them against the evil system that has enslaved us for so long. Our adversity, especially the insurgency, has taught us who our real enemies are. Get ready to answer when you hear the call.

GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

The way this insecurity in the land is going, and the general lack of trust and incompetence on the part of our leaders, Nigeria as a country may soon explode. Just forget that this thing won't spread beyond North East or Northern part of Nigeria because I know that some of us in the South have this feeling of false security.

Nigerians don't think. We have one common enemy - Our leaders. The way some people support PDP and others APC is quite ridiculous. PDP and APC are two sides of a coin. The only way out is revolution.

God bless you for this post.

I'm yet to see any of our politicians children lead a campaign not to talk of protest. Nigerians think!

If this thread is not deleted, I doubt it will make front page.
In Zebrudaya's voice, "are you see what I'm saw?" saTANs, what do you say? Is this a propaganda? Where is the family of Badeh? When did they leave Mubi, before or after the attack?
