Nigerian soldiers had a legitimate complaint abt being in short supply of amo. Recently they have been givien more weapons and I'm sure we don't hear them complaining again. Chad and Cameroon keep spewing rubbish. When Nig soldiers were fighting these guys Chad was their home. Most of d insurgents are chadians and mostly launched attacked then run back to chad and Niger without restrain frm d chadian govt. This was a major frustration for the NA. Now that Chad, Niger and cameroon hv woken frm their slumber and as a result of d attacked frm all angles BH is being cornered and they claiming d glory and painting our army bad. We have our lapses and we working on it but no matter wat dey do they can never beat us and they are only being ungrateful for all the Military and finacial assistants Nig has given and helped to stabilise their own countries in west Africa.

Go to Reuters news and read the story before spreading your ignorance publicly,envy is clearly seen in your posts,your objectiveity is non-existent

They recently captured malam fotori and damasak. malamfotori the same town these clowns claimed to have captured in january.


Particularly striking is the convenience with which the western media seems to leave out that piece of information.

As long as it doesn't fit into their orchestrated narrative of the Nigerian military been corrupt, under-equipped and incompetent, it isn't a good piece of news.


Nigerian troops in green, chadian troops in desert camouflage, but some how, it is the Nigerians that are under-equipped.

Only a fool will GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN is no working..... PDP till JESUS come back

Chadian forces had planned to take the town last month, but were ordered back by Nigeria, which said it planned to attack it. But a Chadian soldier in Dikwa said the closest Nigerian soldiers got to the town during Monday's fighting was 50 km away.

SirShymexx:


Sir, I hope little Chad and Nigeria don't get into a shooting match anytime soon cos these folks look like they'll overrun Nigeria and the ill-trained army.

makzeze:
The Nigerian Military is enmassed in corruption under Jonathan's administration. See the mansions military officers are acquiring in Abuja.

deskossy:
the chadians are experts in gorilla warfare
and counter insurgency. .but conventional warfare is a
different thing all together. .they are apt in surviving brutal desert terrain,their exploit in mali comes to mind!

Henry120:


What are you even talking about.


The chadians claimed to have routed boko-haram in gambarou, yet the terrorist still could muster enough men(600+) to attack Fotokol in cameroun, where they burnt down the town, and slit the throat of over 100 civilians. Brushing aside camerounian troops deployed there.

SirShymexx:


This has nothing to do with "expertise" - it's about morale, coordination, intentions, training, and supply of weapons. The Nigerian army isn't just competent. Heck, the terrain is part of Nigeria - and for what it's worth, by now after dealing with the same problem for over three years now - that's enough time to develop "expertise" in that terrain.

Tuaregs are the Kings of the desert - but didn't they get their ar.ses whooped when the Islamists stormed Mali with superior weapons?
