It's very clear our military needs help but some idiotic self deluding fellows keep decieving themselves. They think calling for assistance means calling the Military useless, even the US with all its resources would hardly go into any war w/o alliance(s) talkmore of Nigeria that is still struggling to consistently spend $1bn yearly solely for procurements/upgrades. Is it not 2 weeks ago COAS was complaining bitterly about the slashing of army's budget yet we shouldn't seek for help anywhere we could. Even soldiers on ground will tell you they will welcome the idea of getting reinforcement from regional blocs even if it means them holding the fort along border towns.
As for the ewures shouting that we only amplify bad news, so we should keep quiet when soldiers die because they're not human beings with families. In the US death or casualties of noncommissioned- soldiers can bring a gov't down talkmore of an army General but in Nigeria we should hush it all up and amplify BHT casualties as if the lives of those renegades equates to that of soldiers. We should keep quiet and not shout so that gov't will see the need to fund the military as it should putting in mind that we are literally the mouth piece of these soldiers as they can't speak for themselves.
Well!!! The cycle continues..

You are still repeating this nonsense again for the second time.
What has been the benefits of the multinational joint task force so far? What have they achieved in defeating Boko Haram/ISWAP right in their border? Use your brain, not emotions.

RiceProducers:


Nigerian military only needs money.
The money required does not even break the bank.
The resources in terms of men required, Nigeria has it in orders of magnitudes more than many African countries combined.

Most people calling for outside help in Nigeria come from "trading" backgrounds. Well, sorry war is not okirika market stuff. If your brain can't process higher stuff then no need for comments.

Let me shove the map of Africa in your face and ask you to choose where the "men" to fight will come from.
Ethiopia is being destroyed as we speak

Southern African countries are bogged down in Mozambique and great Lakes issues.

Chadian Army is less than 30,000 men.

Niger Republic Army is so small, it should be illegal - less than 12,000 men

Cameroon Army is also very small.

All other West African countries are fighting radical Islamic terrorists.

Nigeria has demonstrated the capacity to train 8000 men in six months.

Nigeria will fix its security issues. You guys should face your second hand clothes business.

Absolutely.

SamuelAnyawu:


We ain’t commenting with emotions bro. The Nigeria Military needs to also improve on its PR game and also avoid posting what ain’t true.

We have several cases of the Military denying Bases we’re not overrun, only to see ISWAP drinking bottled water right in the base during attacks.

Th Nigeria Military has now made “Repelling” to look like an overwhelming victory and a necessary end to this Insurgency war.

Don’t be surprised if ISWAP changes the narrative about this attack with their propaganda video. We f**king lost a Brigadier General bro and not a Lance Corporal that is a very Loud message from ISWAP. Do not be surprised they might have taken military prisoners from that Ambush…. The same day we lost a Brigadier General and we should give a Pat on our back for killing two dirty ISWAP dirty bastards?

Security Agencies should up their game immediately and move against these dirty bastards.

Something needs to be done ASAP. The federal Government and security agencies should teach them in a Language they understand.

And who told you that only 2 ISWAP fighters were killed yesterday? You see what I'm talking about emotions, you are angry about the lose of the brigadier general, just other people, but take away the angers in you and now use your brain.
So you would rather believe the terrorists propaganda over the military news? Pls answer the question.

Roan77:
Nigerians are just too emotional, you guys can't argue with facts, you only argue with emotions, sentiments, and biased perspective, whenever bad news happens.

These are the pictures of troops success yesterday.

Ain't that the truth. A lot of people here hate hearing facts that don't align with there emotional thoughts or political alignments. They with similar thinking individuals will then gang bury in an attempt to discredit & silence anyone that doesn't parrot what's being spouted in there Echo Chamber.

Roan77:
Bad news always overshadows success in Nigeria.

Words of the Gods.

The NAF procures massive amounts of hardware.
The NAF eliminates 50+ bokoheads.
The NAF takes out ISWAP leader.
ISWAP is contained to the Lake Chad region away from over 90% of the Nigerian population.
Casualties are at an all time low.
A seasoned terrorist in cuffs.
The economy is steadily recovering
Farms are started with new food processing plants going up every month.
Factors popping up around the country
A new massive oil refinery on the way.
Buildings, homes, centers, hospitals, roads, powerplants, rails, and other forms of infrastructure being completed annually.
3 New Airliners have started
Piracy goes down 80%
Etc

Few to Nobody cares....

3 Soldiers die in an assault that kills dozens upon dozens of bokoheads.
An armed car crashes
Shots are heard outside a Village
A store is robbed
Somebody goes missing
A light goes out.
(Common occurrences that happen around much of the earth)
Etc

THE COUNTRY IS DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIGERIA IS THE WORST COUNTRY ON EARTH!!!!!!

If truly our troops need help, i do think we might require an American base or British base, in fact Chinese base. Then we ruin and become another Afghanistan.

I do remember Buhari telling AFRICOM to bring a base in Nigeria/West Africa. Maybe he's already buying this idea.

In my honest opinion, the Nigerian armed forces requires TOTAL reorganisation. I do watch budget defenses by different MDAs in the National Assembly. Those lawmakers don't really know what's happening except for a few.
Nigeria does not need foreign intervention. We all know the solution to our problems. Is not like we've tried all local solutions and failed. It's that, we aren't even trying to solve the issue. The Nigerian problem is interwoven between all sectors. A failure of a sector, affects the other.

The Nigerian Armed forces need more funding. 10 billion dollars a year would change the course of this war because each element of the military would be made better. We need to Reorganize our Paramilitary. Many civil defence peeps don't know their purpose.

Buhari didn't Specifically said Africom to set up a base in Nigeria, he simply said in Africa, and theatre of operations.

Niger, Chad, and Cameroon provided border assistance along with the West providing training and surveillance. That's appropriate for now.

yoged:
why can't we ask for help ? What's special about this Country. Seems you are still drowned in the past glory. Haven't we be assisted by Cameroon, chad before. So wtf are you talking about . if youve passed the age .I'm sure you have siblings , or relatives .

Spoken like a true Weak Willed Self defeating Beta Lo$er. It's gullable drones with mindset like that of which you've displaced that are the reason Africa is in such poor shape it is now. Lacking true independence, rampant neo colonialism, etc. If Nigeria evers gets a Iraq Afghanistan style international intervention force the country will follow the route of those countries.

The age Nigeria allows itself to be subject to an foreign led International Intervention Force like Afganistan, Libya, Mali etc. With Nato bases populating the country side. Soldiers patrolling the streets. Handing over the nations resources to cooperate foriegners that don't have our interests at heart or fundamentally like us is the age I loose hope in not only Nigeria but Sub Saharan Africa in general.

African Led Solutions for African Problems.

Stormtrooper11:


Which African country are we gonna ask for help from With the look of things, only Egypt and Algeria can be invited to Nigeria
Nigerians, especially the ones in the Southern parts would scream Islamization. Lol. Funny country.
The biggest mistake we would do is to invite the Americans or any other Big world Power. They would prolong this damn war. The truth is, nobody understands this war like us. Nobody understands the technicalities of our insecurity like us, the Nigerians.

As it concerns propaganda l really don't know who's propaganda to believe because they all LIE.

We have no independent news media they simply don't report mainly because of government restrictions on media in that area.

The NA have shown over the years that they are capable of of telling bare faced Lies. The End SARS protests and the shootings at Lekki toll gate come to mind.

It's obvious the gov't lack the political will to do what is necessary; that isn't really surprising since we have hardcore Jihadist presently in gov't whose only angst against Bokoharam lies in the modus operandi of the terror group & the C-in-C haven't taken action against them.

People that denied that viral video of soldiers shooting into a civilian home and later said they'll investigate the video have you people heard anything from them since then? We hate telling ourselves the truth in this country untill it boomerangs and we fall victim of what we defend. That won't stop us to continue praying for the men and women of the armed forces and rallying support for them.
The General that was unfortunately killed in action died as a result of ambush from an IED laden vehicle followed by rapid fire from the enemy, he was moving in a gun truck aggressively to the objective when tragedy struck; if we query the continuous use of Toyota pickup military tacticians that haven't crossed Abuja will say people are being irrational & emotional. I knew how vulnerable I felt inside an APC during a visit to one of the sacked villages in Zamfara; now think about those soldiers that helplessly sit-down like sheep's waiting to be slaughtered in an open roof guntruck we forget these are people's loved ones.

That Samuel Anyanwu guy get mental problem

Anybody wey no agree with you get mental problem. You be serious case

The last 3 pages or so were quite exciting.
Now, I gotta say my mind.

The problem of the NA is not money. Even if Elon Musk heard Odumeje preaching tomorrow, got born again and decided to donate all his billions to the NA, virtually nothing will change. You could dash them a thousand T-90s and add a hundred Blackjack strategic bombers to the mix, plus rail guns and TOPOL missiles and still nothing serious will change.

The NA as it is set up is as intrinsically dysfunctional as a 3-legged crab addicted to meth and formalin-soaked PCP. It's main problems are corruption, incompetence, near-total indifference to human rights and inability to change and these problems are what defines it.

They are still doing the same things they were doing when this insurgency began and if you question them they will say you don't love your country and don't appreciate the sacrifices of our darling troops. They are still robbing this country blind in the creeks, on the highways, at the ports and during equipment acquisitions and if you question them their friends on this platform will say you don't love your country because you are Igbo and because you are not eating with them.

I still remember the case of that general whose men took the hundreds of millions of Naira they were supposed to deliver somewhere and ran. Has the money fountain been closed or are there still convoys moving ill-gotten gains made by NA top staff from place to place that we don't know about?

The indifference to human rights I was talking about fundamentally weakens the NA and deprives it of local support. Remember that video of the last two weeks where they were filmed firing GMPG at houses in Enugu. Well, that was my village and within stone throw of my hamlet.

They killed someone that I know about and possibly others I do not know about. But of course they will deny if asked, just like they deny every negative thing. And after stuff like this if my village youths decided to join IPOB or other secessionist groups en masse I no go blame them. Same way, if after the IDPs raped and molested in refugee camps across the country decide to join Boko Haram tomorrow I no go blame them.

Yeah, in most cases, this gross disrespect for human rights by the NA triggers more problems than it solves and they do not seem to know that or care. They have been killing us at will, acting like fashion police, oppressing us all they like and still expect us to love them. Like how?


And those of you saying we should invite ECOWAS troops to help us out are just being naïve. This war we are fighting is above all things a political war. The enemy has sympathizers, apologists and collaborators in the highest reaches of this government and its agencies and within the army itself. Read David Hundeyin's expose and see what I'm talking about. So, why would a government filled with jihad-loving individuals invite foreign troops to help them fight other jihad-loving individuals?

Let's face it, if this government is actually serious about wiping out ISWA and the Boko boys once and for all, it can do that and within a year max. It doesn't though and if you can't see that then you are as blind as a bat that has been used for r1tuals

And that's Nigeria for you

That Lekki incident was the breaking point for me how people still deny the obvious, incidentally I was at the DHQ a day after the incident I remembered how a lady a (naval Commander) was so bitter and was even verbally insulting an army Captain in her office for making disparaging comments on the protesters, emotions were high, even within the army many were sad at the turn of events but some trolls who only know about the military from blogs/media will be defending rubbish. That day I learnt alot of things, and I don't blanketly insult or curse the entire military they have lots of good conscientious officers within their folds unfortunately the bad ones are the loudest.

Oya!! Cry once more; cry again!!!!!

An Internationally Intervention Force against Islamist will end in a drawn out Fail just like it has everywhere else.

Your the only one crying here. Nigeria gets assistance from Niger, Chad, and Cameroon along with training and surveillance from the West(sometimes). That's enough as it is. No other country in Africa outside of West Africa has the compacitity to provide any meaningful help to Nigeria. Looking outside the continent why should Nigeria sale out to some Non-African foriegn led international intervention force that will only turn the country into just another impoverished West African puppet state with a serving of Afghanistan? If foriegners get involved to that level Nigeria will become a puppet state and the conflict will never end.

BokoHarem are weaker than they've ever been. The NAF is more militarized than its ever been since the Civil War and still growing. Militery and civilians casualties are getting much lower than the past dacade. As of 2021 BokoHarem/SWAP are restricted to being mostly leaderless scavangers barely clinging to life around the Lake Chad region away from over 90% of the Nigerian population. Many Parts of Borno have already started rebuilding.

So why should Nigeria sale out now when ISWAP is devastated, oil drunkards are are on there last leg, and piracy is at an all time low.

If you want to be under an intervention force or become an international airstrike field so bad feel free to move to and apply for refugee status in Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq etc.

Ah yes the good old Lekki Toll Gate Massacre where despite being a massacre no footage exists of the assault, no bodies have been recovered, photos showing bodies have been proven fake with some literally being from movies, the people that supposedly died are undocumented, and the only hospitalized individual with flesh wounds was caught robbing the hospital he was sent to.......

Many of the people reported to have been killed in the Lekki Protest have since come out to debunk such reports.

A Nollywood movie star Eniola Badmus, who was allegedly shot in the stomach and died at the Lekki Toll Gate has denied the social media reports. Posting on her Instagram, Eniola wrote “Against all speculations about me being shot or dead at the unspeakable incident that happened at the toll gate a few hours ago, I would like to inform you guys that I Eniola Badmus is hale and hearty. I couldn’t make it there today to lend my voice on the #endsars movement.”

A photo of a man carrying a dead lady wrapped in Nigerian flag as posted by Yemi Alade was an image from a movie acted with a theme, “Heal our land, OH LORD!” posted by Yemi Alade was an image from a movie acted with a theme, “Heal our land, OH LORD!” [url] https://www.trendsmap.com/twitter/tweet/1318864211037048832 [/url]

A young man, Iraoya Godwin, a native of Otuo-Auchi, Edo state who was reported to have been killed also at the Lekki Toll Gate has posted a video on Twitter denying the report. https://twitter.com/i/status/1318872511736614913

There is a trending video of the corpse of Comrade Anthony Okechukwu, a former student of Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture, Umudike Abia State. It is discovered that the young man died in a road accident and not at the Lekki Gate. https://twitter.com/i/status/1318872511736614913

Solacebase reports that there was also a video of one Lucy Adu who was celebrated as a martyr at LekkiMasacre after dancing in the clip. Some of the social media posts celebrating her ‘martyrdom’ read: ”She was dancing an hour before she was murdered by the Nigerian armed forces Lucy was her name Pensive face#endsars – a bullet hit her in the face and ripped half her face off.”

Latest investigation shows that Lucia Adu died from an accident with a stationary truck on 20th October 2020. Her death was not from a gunshot by anyone. This is also confirmed by a new fact-checking Twitter handle on EndSARS https://twitter.com/EndSARSFctCheck

Meanwhile, PRNigeria Editorial team could not get authenticated footages of the bullet-ridden bodies from the alleged LekkiMassacre from credible media sources and EndSARS activists. Yet, two days after the alleged LekkiMassacre, no single family member has reported to security agencies or the media of the death of their loved ones in the incident.

Checks by PRNigeria revealed that not even a single protester allegedly killed during the Lekki incident was reported, even as no single corpse of the massacred protesters was taken to any hospital in the state, as of Wednesday night.

I just smiled, it's not the DHQ'S I know..

Finally looks like a Military offensive is kicking of at LCB

Kudos Gallant men

Farmers and other residents of Damboa in Borno State have started paying Zakat (taxes) to the dreaded members of the Islamic State of West...



Farmers and other residents of Damboa in Borno State have started paying Zakat (taxes) to the dreaded members of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), Daily Trust has reliably gathered.

Zakat is an Islamic finance term referring to the obligation that an individual has to donate a certain proportion of wealth each year to charitable causes. Zakat is a mandatory process for Muslims and is regarded as a form of worship.

A top state government official told our correspondent that many farmers are living under the control of ISWAP fighters in the Damboa axis.

“The terrorists allow the locals to farm and they collect what they called zakat (an annual alms tax or poor rate) from every farmer after they harvest their produce,” he said.

The source claimed that the farmers were not averse to the arrangement.

“When Boko Haram under Shekau infested these areas, they don’t even allow people to go to their farms; so, when ISWAP somehow took over, they said people can go to their farms but must pay tax and also pay zakat,” he said.

A farmer, who gave his name as Musa Mrusha, told our correspondent that many of the locals said they don’t want authorities to know.

“In the past, many Boko Haram fighters have killed many farmers during harvest time like this. But have you heard of such this year?


“Early last month they came and told me while I was at the farm that when it is time to harvest, they have their portions which I agreed and fulfil the promised,” Musa said.

Daily Trust gathered that the ISWAP fighters, who hitherto had a firm root in northern Borno, have recently up their game in the southern part of the state.

They have in the last few months been collecting “tolls” from drivers and “taxes” from farmers.

Another passenger, Ismail, said the terrorists do send drivers plying the road on errands to buy some commodities for them from Biu while coming back.

“They have a checkpoint at Sabon Gari, Yemantan area, Ruga and smaller ones along the road. They are in strategic places where they can see vehicles from far away.

“They dress like soldiers and whenever the drivers see them, they would stop,” he said.

AskiaHarem:


You had same fair point here and there but the highlighted above destroyed all thr credibility you could have had.

No worries. My fervent prayer is that may Nigeria happen to you.


Back when the Shiites were being murdered en masse in Abuja by troops of the Presidential Brigade, I was here yelling about it being a very gross violation of human rights. I was abused, and called a Moslem terrorist too if I remember correctly. And that despite the fact that I've been an atheist for much of my adult life and last stepped foot in church like 2 years ago.

So, why was I standing up for the Shiites? Firstly because they are human with inalienable rights and privileges and secondly because they are Nigerians with rights and privileges guaranteed by the constitution.
No sane person uses heavy machine guns mounted on APC's to disperse peaceful protesters like the NA did to the Shiites. No sane person carts off those injured and leaves them without medical attention to die. No sane person denies what happens even with the masses of evidence everywhere.

And thirdly, I stood up for the Shiites because I knew very well that if we stayed silent about their being murdered in broad daylight like that, the time would come when the NA would do the same to us en masse. That day came at Lekki and will continue to come because people like you @AskaiHarem are ever ready to write a blank check to the army to kill and go as it wishes. People like you are ever ready to lie against those being murdered and either claim they deserved it or were looking at NA troops in a rude manner.

So, my prayer for you @AskiaHarem is that may Nigeria happen to you and your relatives one day.
And I will not reply you further in any way. Have a good night.
