Shekau, Brands Nigerian Soldiers Cowards; Says Baga Weapons Enough To Win War by superneutral(m): 2:47pm On Jan 21, 2015
The controversial leader of the Boko Haram terror group
Abubakar Shekau on Tuesday declared the duo of
President Goodluck Jonathan and his 2015 arch-rival,
Muhammadu Buhari as infidels who cannot rule Nigeria.
He declared that the war he is waging would soon bring
democracy to an end.
Mr. Shekau who spoke in a 36 minutes video released via
youtube also warned that more killings and attacks would
be recorded in the days to come as he boasted that the
quantum of ammunition his group has so far seized from
the Nigerian army especially in Baga would be enough to
prosecute a war against Nigeria.
The man whom Nigeria military authority had declared
dead on three occasions in the last two years said his
group would soon bring Nigeria to its knees and warned
the governments of the neighbouring countries, comprising
of Chad, Cameroon and Niger of similar attacks.
Mr. Shekau who appeared in the video standing in front of
three patrol jeeps mounted with anti-air assault guns was
dressed in his usual military khaki with an AK47 hanging
from his shoulder across his chest. He delivered his long
speech, first in Arabic which lasted for 17 minutes and
then in Hausa for about seven minutes.
He ended his speech by
burning a Nigerian flag,
and replacing it with his
group’s flag that had a
black background and
white inscription.
The full translation of his
speech reads: “We thank
God for making us enter
Baga and Doro-Baga in victory. We have today declared
Baga as part of our territory and one of our operational
base”.
“Jonathan you are in trouble. All governors of Nigeria are
in trouble. All these war equipment that you see being
displayed in the screen are gotten from Baga and Doro.
Your army kept deceiving the world that you can’t fight us
because you have no arms. Liars! You have all that it takes;
you are just coward soldiers. You forgot that it is God that
arms. Is it not amazing that we, who started with sticks
and machetes, are today the biggest headache to the
almighty Nigerian soldiers? What a shame!!
“Jonathan is it not shameful that now even your supporters
are insulting and causing you? This should be a sermon to
the world that you should not trust in humans. Any one
that trusts a man will end up regretting. This is just the
beginning of the killings; what you’ve just witnessed is a
tip of the iceberg; more deaths are coming. This will mark
the end of politics and democracy in Nigeria. This is to
confirm to you that we carried out the Baga massacre, and
we are going to do more.
“Nigerians are busy with politics, hailing Buhari! Buhari,
Jonathan! Jonathan! Do you think the two of them are
spared? Do you think even Buhari is a good Muslim?
Buhari is not a Muslim as far as we are concerned – He is
nothing but an infidel and our enemy.
“Muhammed Yusuf, the president of Niger, so you too have
the temerity of coming out to pay sympathy visit to the
Francois Holland the President of France. Is this your true
character? Muhammed Yusuf, you have amazed us. You
shall soon see our wrath, very soon.
“And you, Paul Biya, the president of Cameroon. Now you
are asking for foreign assistance; please don’t waste your
time because God is more than all the help you will get.
“And even you Idris
Debby, you are not
spared. You guys have
acted too late, very late.
“Before I end my speech; I
want to react to a radio
broadcast from France
where the French said
they are enemies of Islam
and the prophet of Islam. I am going to read the France
statement (he tried reading a French statement) In that
broadcast the French government and people after
insulting the holy prophet of Islam said a war against
terrorisms is the same as fighting muslims.
“After this I will be setting ablaze the Nigerian flag just
like we always do in all the places that we have conquered.
It is a useless flag and its relevance would soon be a thing
of the past. We are now showing the world all the arms
and ammunition that we got from the Nigeria army
barracks in Baga, Doron-Baga, Mile-4 and this barrack.
What we have in our armoury now, plus all that we had
before is enough to execute a victorious war against the
whole Nigeria.
Shekau was later shown in the video setting a Nigerian flag
on fire, and hoisting a Boko Haram flag. He then lifted a
black flag with Arabic inscription as he recited an altered
version of the first few lines of the Nigeria National
Anthem, speaking in English:
“I pledge to Allah, my
God. To be Faithful Loyal
and Honest. To serve
Allah with all my strength.
To defend his Islam…
Allahu Akbar!! Nigeria is
dead; her constitution is
dead!! Islam and Islam;
war by war upon the
Kafir who is the
unbeliever”.
The concluding parts of the video showed a footage of
some Boko Haram members setting flags of Nigeria on fire
as one of them was heard saying; “and say the truth has
come and falsehood has disappeared; verily falsehoods are
bound to disappear”.
One of the Boko Haram members who was dressed in a
kaftan with a belt on his waste and a turban around his
head conducted the camera around a large a cache of arms
and ammunitions, as he gave details on each weapon and
how they were obtained.
“All these arms and ammunition you see in their
thousands are gotten from Baga. We thank God for making
this possible because he says we should always thank him
for every good thing he does and he shall give us more.
Words cannot express our gratitude to him. It is his mercy
for us that is why we got them so easily. God says he would
test us with all that he gives us; so we know God will be
waiting to see what we would do with these things. Insha
Allahu we are going to do his work with these arms at our
disposal. We are going to sacrifice our lives in doing God’s
work.
“As you can see we have thousands of AK 47 rifles, we
have so much that we are still conveying them to our camp
here. We have AA, we have different kind of them that can
be mounted on vehicles. We have Shell Car; we have RPGs;
We have mag and so on. We cannot just mention them. We
have dozens of vehicles and thanks to God that has given
us”.

It's obvious this Otuoke man can't fix this

This is a job for the General

Buhari, Over to you, you have been challenged.

This is your first assignment. You've won already

Of course I have never believed the nonsensical talk that the Military is not adequately armed to prosecute a successful war against Boko Haram. The Military has been well armed and well funded by the current administration more than any other in Nigeria's history. Funding and arms isn't the problem. The problem is cowardice and incompetence. Pure and simple. Unfortunately Shekau is damn right.

The crop of soldiers we have now in the armed forces are cowards who didn't bargain for this wahala when they were joining the armed forces through their corrupt connections and godfathers. They joined the Military merely for the prestige, money, bragging rights, and of course the opportunity to oppress bloody civilians. They did not expect and are not ready for the full blown war that Boko Haram now represents. Whole truth.

On the other hand, this is what you get, when you take hungry boys, who joined the army because they couldn't secure any other job, and train them for 5months before throwing them into battle. You'll get soldiers that chicken out at the slightest opportunity.

Shekau has spoken, the Nigerian Military has more than enough equipments to crush Boko Haram but the issue is some of them are cowards.

Leave our useless politicians to be fighting over certificate, they won't tell us how they will bring back peace and tranquillity to the north-east

My guess is many army cadets will be asking themselves now "so after fighting for my country they will one day call me an illiterate??"

Food for thought, I guess.

Don't mind the cowards. Every other time they tell us that they don't have adequate weapons to fight Boko Haram but the next minute we see Boko Haram looting high caliber weapons and ammunition from their armory while they run away like a diseased dogs. I am in support of executing cowards who disobey direct orders from their superior officers. They must do the work they sign up for.

I hope some e illiterates who accused GEJ of not arming the military can keep quiet


The recruitment and training process of the military is faulty

Man know Man job connection and lack of good psychological screening and training processes have ended up churning out cowards cool

Shehu can't be a Nigerian, he seems to posses the brain-power of your typical dumb-ass African of Congolese, Cameroonian and Chadian variety.
If Nigerian soldiers are cowards why not keep quiet about it and enjoy continued gains? Oh, no yer had to brag about it thus revealing you have ulterior motives. Like, now Nigeria is just so going to vex and rush in with the entire military blazing and straight into the well laid ambush plans of puppet masters France with their satellite watching all Nigerian maneuverings.
