Chadian and Nigerien troops fighting Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East are reportedly begging their Nigerian counterparts to take over towns recaptured from the sect.Nigerian authorities had announced that troops had recaptured all towns occupied by members of the terrorist group in Adamawa and Yobe states, remaining Borno, the last of the three north-eastern states mostly affected by the insurgency.A report byThe New York Timeson Friday, entitled ‘Foreign troops beg Nigerian soldiers to occupy recaptured towns,’ said foreign troops had led journalists on a tour of the liberated towns without Nigerian troops on the ground.Chadian authorities were reported to be angered by “the near-total absence of cooperation from the Nigerians in a crucial regional battle.”The report said Chadian soldiers were wondering why they, and not the Nigerians, were holding towns like Damasak, several days after the last Boko Haram fighter has fled or been killed.The Chadian Foreign Minister, Moussa Faki Mahamat, was quoted as saying, “The Nigerian Army has not succeeded in facing Boko Haram. The occupation of these towns, this is up to Nigeria. My fondest wish is that they assume their responsibilities.“Our biggest wish is that the Nigerian Army pulls itself together — that it takes responsibility in the towns. We are ready to disengage, right away.”Second Lieutenant Hassan of the Chadian Army was quoted to have berated the Nigerian troops as failing in their responsibilities.He said, “We asked them (Nigerian Army) to come, to receive this town from us, but they have not come. It is because they are afraid.“We fought on the night of the 14th, and the last attack was on the 15th. We called them on the 16th and told them to come; they didn’t believe we were here.“It is up to them (Nigeria) to hold the town, not us,” said Lieutenant Hassan, referring tothe Nigerians. “Our role is offensive. Our mission is to chase the terrorists.”The Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, however, told our correspondent on the telephone on Saturday that it was not true that Nigerian troops were not willing to take over such territories.He said there was no town liberated by the Nigerian troops in the ongoing offensive against the insurgents that was not effectively cleared of terrorists’ presence and was not being well patrolled.He added that the collaborating nations hadwarned against “irresponsible” comments involving the operation, stressing that the military would not join issues with anyone.Olukolade said, “It is not true that our soldiers are not willing to take over such communities. There is no town that our soldiers have liberated that is not being well secured and well patrolled at the moment.“We have always warned against irresponsible comments in this collaboration and we are not ready to join issues with anybody.“We will do everything to sustain this collaboration.”

Oh well...

If this is not making sense, it is because we are being deceived.

Boko Haram is a tool of destabilisation created and run by America during the rule of America's most loyal house slave Thief Obasanjo in 2002.

Chad troops are Boko haram .

Nigerian government have been threatened and blackmailed by America and France into colluding with the ethnic cleansing of Nigerian towns and the consequent massacres of and genocide committed against innocent Nigerians, so that Chad and other Francophone puppets of France may eventually annex them.

Wake up Nigeria!

Thief Obasanjo started the break up when he handed Bakassi to Cameroon during his tenure.

If something doesn't make sense always know that there is a lie being told.

The so called war against Boko haram is in reality a war against Nigeria and our clueless government is colluding with our enemies in this genocide against us and in the grand deception.

May the gods of our great ancestors save us from evil doers.

Na wa. some people would come here to form patriotic nigerians but i am inclined to belief the chadians.
I can recall civilian jtf saying they wanted to advance further or wanting to go for raiding only for the troops not to show up.
Thinking about it now, what type of weapons are poor chad and niger using in fighting boko haram that wasnt in the nigerian army arsenal for the past six years, i dont see them even using apc and tanks in the battle.
The army needs reorientation. strong armies around the world including this chad would never be seen lording ut over defenseless civilians, thats what cowardly bullies do.
The good news is that the insurgents are being flushed out.

OP must be APC fan

Cluelessness is a diseases.
We need d cure.

What is Chad feeling like sef. Real strong armies dont make unguarded statements like this.

There are usually official channels for grievances. Why do they always run to the media?

No be una fault na. Na rain wey dey fall make all of us meet for inside hut. Nonsense!

And why is that? is the place not safe still?

All this will come to an end come May 29 if Baba Buhari come to power.

BABA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, let's assume that Nigerian Military is as clueless as some media propagandists wants us to believe but Is Chad the only foreign troops in the MNJTF?
Why are they always in the news?

Real Armies don't go to the press,this is what they do.1,they sit back and allow their citizens they re supposed to protect to be killed,2,they give excuses for not going to war,3,they are even afraid to take over captured territories,4,they monitor elections instead of police or civil defence,5,they postpone elections,6,they mount road blocks and collect egunje,7,they maltreat defenceless civilians and more,Abi?

Nigeria army should come out and disclaim it if its not true

Media war! That's what the Chadian troops want.

If they allow Buhari (meaning the rulers of Nigeria - America and Europe)

The best strategy if for APC to set up a parallel government ASAP
