With all this figures and some people are calling probing of Col. Dasuki political witch-hunting. I don't know the problem with we black. How could a reasonable person be growing pot-belly and the expense of peoples live. Thousands of innocent souls lost their lives, property and so on and some goats are happily having their bank accounts fat day by day. God will never forgive you people, and the innocent souls will hunt down your generation. Bunch of heartless rogues. 67 Likes 3 Shares |

immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki and the then service chiefs, were allegedly more concerned with funds requisitions and purchases of military hardware than tactical management of the war.When dealing with Vicious terrorists, You have to Match firepower with More Firepower! While the tactical aspect of the counter Operations are very important, Nigeria had limited equipment to implement those tactical road maps! 2 Likes |

Let me brush ma teeth.. Brb. Back to the matter... Sometimes when I read stuffs like this, I just wanna feel sorry for the guy Jonathan. Jonathan was such a "happy-go-lucky" dude he was a hazard to himself. He had this inferiority complex that made him unable to question the choices of folks like Diezani, NOI, and the service chiefs. They knew this and used it against him. They preyed on him to the very end. We said it several times in the past that the reason Boko Haram flourished was because some military top dogs and politicians were making way too much blood money they got addicted to the inflow. The mandate to extinguish the horror rested on their shoulders but given what they stood to gain by ensuring the battle never ended they were sufficiently motivated not to slay the goose that lay their golden eggs- Boko Haram. Imagine the scenario of the cars donated by the Bornu state government and the subsequent release by the FG of funds to purchase same, and the blasted bastards pocketed the cash with no questions asked. Even the mere physique of the then Service Chiefs spoke volumes of what their primary concern was- their stomachs. When they were asked to relocate down to the epicentre of the crisis as a show of force and a morale booster for the boys at the frontline, they never did, rather they simply left Abuja to stay somewhere in the North way beyond the range of enemy missiles (possibly with a retinue of broads imported from Brazil) - Jonathan knew this but never asked any questions. It would have amounted to a mistake of biblical proportions had Nigerians not made the right choice this time. Today we know BH's capability has been depleted to such level as never before since the beginning of their campaign of terror. What more is there to thank than the strategy adopted by this admin which has been proven to be effective the world over- starve your enemies of supplies and see them die naturally. We've seen and heard several accounts of supplies, from food, fuel, IED materials, etc intercepted by the army. One can't fight a war on empty stomach and can't ride horses to a 21st Century battle front and expect victory, and that thankfully is the situation of things with the terrorists at the moment. I have this queer feeling Boko Haram even got direct supply of these items from the topmost hierarchy of the Nigerian Army to sustain their campaign in order to keep the defence budget high and keep monies flowing into bottomless pockets! We heard several accounts of military facilities overran by the terrorists as soldiers flee leaving the terrorists to loot the armoury- could all these have been deliberate?? One thing is clear, Boko Haram survives today because those who were meant to ensure their death did all they could to make sure they never died. God bless the Nigerian Army. God bless Buhari. God bless PYO. And God bless Midolian. 143 Likes 13 Shares |

Until we acknoledge the fact that everybody played a role in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria, we are bound to be sentimental in our assesment. GEJ's team did almost all of the contact battle while PMB's team are doing the mopping-up, let it not look as if the previous administration were soly interested in enriching themselves from the military budget. I wish all past and present 'political' generals be probed and the families of the fallen heros compensated. 12 Likes |

It has emerged that despite the presence of over 1,000 well armed Nigerian troops in Mubi and its environs in Adamawa State, it took just a handful of 30 Boko Haram insurgents to capture the commercial city last October without firing a shot. The development, THISDAY learnt, forms the fulcrum of the series of ongoing investigations and court martials by the military high command, which has blamed the capture of Mubi and other towns in Adamawa and Borno States on sabotage by sympathetic northern troops and some of their commanders who refused to fight the insurgents. Military sources, who opened up on what transpired in several of the attacks by Boko Haram in the two states between September and October this year, revealed that the insurgents would not have succeeded had the troops who were deployed in several of the towns and villages that were overrun by the insurgents, defended the areas diligently. “Those soldiers refused to fight, despite being better armed than the insurgents and instead ran away when only 30 insurgents invaded Mubi and its environs and captured the area without firing a shot. Instead of telling the truth they lie on social media and politicians lie on their behalf that the federal government is not arming them to fight Boko Haram. “When Mubi was deserted, more insurgents followed suit and raided several establishments, especially banks in the town. In the Diamond Bank branch alone, they carted away over N100 million. “The terrorists also invaded deserted military formations in Mubi and Bama (Borno State) where they stole arms and armoured tanks that they could not even operate. As such, they have been soliciting for the assistance of retired army personnel to help them to operate the tanks,” a military source informed THISDAY. He further disclosed that when the military high command got wind of the sabotage by its own troops, it was so incensed that it proceeded to arrest hundreds of the soldiers and their commanders of northern origin and replaced them with non-Muslim, southern troops comprising mainly Yoruba and Igbo as well as troops from minority areas who were deployed from the Owerri brigade. “Once we deployed more non-Muslim troops from Owerri in small companies, we started getting results, as they collaborated with civilian vigilante groups and local hunters in Adamawa, which enabled us to flush out the insurgents within a short period from Mubi and its environs. “Our advances to flush out the insurgents continues to gain momentum and the troops have surrounded Madagali and other towns right now in order to recover lost territories,” he said. He added that the success recorded by the military in curtailing attacks by the sect had been evident in recent weeks, saying: “If you noticed, they have resorted to using suicide bombers and hit and run tactics, as they are finding it difficult to hold on to territories. “Unlike in the past, the Yuletide season was also relatively peaceful. That tells you that we have the upper hand and they are on the run.” Despite the optimism expressed by the military source, THISDAY learnt that the ongoing offensive against Boko Haram in the north-east continues to encounter hiccups due to the high level conspiracy by some elements in the northern intelligentsia and elite to thwart the efforts of the federal government to end the insurgency. THISDAY discovered that the renewed onslaught tagged “Operation No Mercy” has encountered well-orchestrated opposition from certain forces in the North who are not comfortable with the upper hand gained by the military in recent weeks. An intelligence source disclosed that the elements averse to the operation are claiming that an all-out bombardment against the terrorists in occupied territories could lead to unacceptable “collateral damage”. The source said the military and other security forces had been hampered by the myriad of protest letters by some emirs and political office holders claiming that some of their wives and daughters are being held captive in the areas. Investigations further revealed that the forces sabotaging the operation cut across the military, traditional and political institutions in the north. “We have been inundated with letters from emirs, even political office holders demanding that we should not venture further into those contended areas. “They warned that there could be dire consequences should the military implement their all-out attack against Boko Haram terrorists in some of those strategic towns including Bama, Gwoza, Gamboru Ngala and others,” a source said. The source recalled that the Borno Elders Forum (BEF) and Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) had used the same reason to fiercely oppose the more aggressive approach adopted by the former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika (rtd), that was effective in tackling the Boko Haram Islamic sect in the North-east over a year ago. “You would notice that accusations of human rights violations against the military is a constant weapon being applied by these elements to impede the war against the sect,” he stated. He also revealed that the sect had effectively wiped out emirs and influential northerners who have expressed outrage over the wanton destruction of lives and property by the sect, while leaving out those who have tacitly supported the heinous acts of Boko Haram.

Jonathan remains the worst president so far in the history of Nigeria and Africa as a whole The money that was meant to fight BH wasn't used for the purpose, instead gej and his administration lavish the money and also use some to purchase weapons from south Africa to share among his 1000 sniper's he was training then against opposition but thank God for his god father (both looters) who came to our rescue by telling us his hidden agenda just to get power back and continue his looting.

Jonathan was an unmitigated disaster and his glaring incompetence as commander-in-chief ensured he was completely clueless about the happenings in his armed forces. Apart from his glaring lack of capacity and accountability, the wickedness that underlies his and his cronies nonchalance to the lives that were being wasted daily because of sheer greed and selfishness, makes it morally and legally imperative that Jonathan and his cohorts are thoroughly investigated, prosecuted and firmly punished if found guilty of these and the many more allegations of fraud, dereliction of duty, and murderous sabotage levelled against them. 11 Likes 1 Share |
