The Nigerian Army needs to upgrade it's motto to victory comes from God and better preparation.. remember we now have a space force I love Naija ooo no dulling bandits, Boko, ESN, Fulani gun men unknown gun men that are well known to tribal and religious bigots ur ends are all near

Not so sure though about the NA upgrading its motto so far it has delivered the dividends.

The Talibans have more access to finance, where they can train and operate from etc.

Ethiopian couldn't defeat the Tigrayan army, see as people dey downgrade the Ethiopian army, Nigeria is also struggling against terrorists in her backyard for more than 10 years, but una go wail if them talk say the Nigerian army is incompetent.

Some people don dey wail about looting in SA, while bandits and Fulani heardsmen are busy raising down villages and killing people here in Nigeria.

For more than a week now, the DSS said they have found weapons in Sunday Igboho house, still yet, they haven't charge him to court... Nigeria is one of the few countries this kind of yama yama fit happen

Well sha, anyhow sha. The Talibans can't survive for up to a week in any US territory. ISIS can't survive for a week in any part of America.

Only in failing countries do terrorists hold sway. ISWAP spread to Borno south in our eyes, and even killed Shekarau, but una dey tell me for here say dey are defeated... It seems some of you here are comedians, a terrorist group that is defeated shouldn't be able to expand their territory

The Nigerien and chandian militart are not as powerful as the Nigerian military, what is stopping ISWAP to capture Niamey or N'Djamina? Even Somalia that is a yama yama country, the terrorists there do not currently have the capability to attack and take over the country capital... But una want make we dey dance for here because ISWAP is not in Abuja

You might want to show us where BHT captured Nigerian soldiers en masse like happened with the Ethiopian army in Tigray.

I hope you know the meaning of the word en masse? Pls look it up before you answer I'm not won't to add that to your education. Some of you pained folks are so s.ick upstairs with hatred of Nigeria that you even deny things that are self evident with the world as witness.

And let me add capturing one Nigerian soldier is not a common feat. By Nigerian military indoctrination most commanders would rather die with their men or make a tactical withdrawal to fight another day which you bet is written in stone which must and always happens than to be captured alive for enemy propaganda. You attack us we are coming back stronger not capitulating in defeat like the Ethiopian Army.

Does it happen betimes, yes! But in the fog of war. But when compared with other african militaries it is highly rare to see a captured Nigerian soldier talk less of an officer. Please where did you see a Nigerian Army officer captured? At least in the numbers you insinuate, you must be a joke. You might show us the Air Force officer shot down many years ago but how bravely did he take his death with honor no flinching, and how many others either crashed or got shot down but rather chose to perish with their aircrafts than be captured alive. Pls spare us your false tirade.

And stop insulting us with Ethiopia that depends on aid to fund its budget and feed its people suffering from famine and whose soldiers barely have body armour or kit like a basic infantry soldier of the Nigerian Army which are arguably the best kitted in Africa.

I remember making similar proposal here, I think this is where our NIA is failing. For peanuts we would have gotten most of these abandoned vehicles in Afghanistan/Iraq when the US were pulling out of those countries but perhaps we're so much in love with Innoson pickups and Toyota Hilux for troops/logistics deployment. If we have been proactive to buy off or atleast as many as possible the arms stash when Ghadaffi fell, we would have killed many birds with a stone. Fortunately/unfortunately anywhere belle face/ insha'Allah is our national security strategy.

SamuelAnyawu:


So true.
Reminds me of Nicholas Cage move “God of War”
