Listening to the chief of army staff stutter and evade questions on BBC that day was so disappointing. Buratai was so economical with the truth and couldn't even articulate his thoughts very well. 11 Likes |

Buratai did well:70% Buratai's clog was trying to answer political questions which he could have deflected, as he is in no position to be responsible for answers to those questions especially publicly. Buratai is a military man, trained to wage war; not a diplomat, journalist, or the like. . . Vs. Steve couldn't have been easy for him. Steve was an asshole for the larger part cutting in and crap, wanting Buratai to be responsible for not ending terrorism in Nigeria, the same terrorism that Britain and the whole of Europe, the US, and the world at large struggle with (personally, I get scared any time I visit the UK and ever have to get on a London bus since 2005 . . . taking into account the bombings and other attacks on it). Buratai's Achilles was the Dubai properties which he has never handled right from the get-go. I watched the full interview twice. P.S. The Nigerian Army has a long way to go on human rights though (it's a work in progress . . . good to put the pressure on them) 3 Likes 1 Share |

989900: 70% � Though he is a combatant I mustn't fail to remind you that we're not at war and being the COAS requires a very high degree of diplomacy. Need I remind you also that most field decision do pass a level of bureaucracy too. He is no longer wielding weapons but bridging the gap between the one carrying the guns and the people providing the target and weapons. He performed poorly and this further shows the level of unprofessionalism in the Army and their likes. You don't kill who you swore to protect on mere provocation, you don't starve your men out and expect them to conduct themselves. A lot is wrong. I tire sef. 21 Likes 1 Share |

This is one of the most disgraceful interviews I have ever watched. It was like it was a Corporal being interviewed rather than the the head of the Nigerian Army. Buratai couldnt answer any question straight. He kept fidgeting, he was clearly out of his comfort zone, he looked like a man who lacked confidence. He was everything a General of an Army should not be. If it is officers like him that lead the Nigerian Army, God help all Nigerians. 8 Likes |

pilotab55: These are political statements, they all do. How many times did Obama taunt destroying Al Qaeda, "Al Qaeda is on the run", degraded Al Qaeda . . . how many times have Al Qaeda struck since then, even Benghazi was after that, does that mean their efforts were nothing, no. Bush declared "mission accomplished" aboard USS Lincoln in 2003, 14 years later, the war in Iraq is far from over. If Buratai and Buhari didn't step up the offensive on BH, by now, BH would have been in PH, Lagos, remember they were in Abuja, Jos, etc., had several LGs on lock down . . . Hope u get my drift: politicians capitalize on the gains to make political statements. 2 Likes |

If not for colonialism-induced inferiority complex, why would any Nigerian official submit to such indignity from a British journalist? Did the same British not rule and loot Nigeria dry in their 70 years here? Refusing to build even a single university or major power station in those 7 decades? At independence in 1960, our literacy rate was under 10% after 70 yrs of British rule. That figure is 75% today, thanks to Nigerian leaders' investment in mass public education. Who are they to criticise Nigerian leaders that have done 100 times better than they did? When will Shackur interview Tony Blair over the Iraq WMD lies that led to a million deaths of innocent Iraqis? When will he interview the British generals who participated in the slaughter? Many of them are still serving. The British media are just an arm of the govt., hence their silence in the face of their government's own questionable actions. They only turn brave when it's time to attack African leaders. 1 Like |

Rossikki:You are right and wrong in equal measure. 1. Buratai didn't need to submit to such humiliation, considering the interviewer has a history of doing just that to Fashola, Obasanjo, Amaechi, etc. 2. Just b/c Britain has a long history of crimes against humanity doesn't preclude a British journalist from asking a Nigerian official about his own crimes. Your argument is like saying, I shouldn't ask anyone searching questions b/c of what the Nigerian govt did. People are not collectively responsible for the actions of their govts. 3. You should not blind yourself to the murderous actions of the Nigerian military against the people they are supposed to protect just b/c it is a British journalist asking the questions that Nigerians like you have failed to ask. 4. Your silence in the mass murder of unarmed Shia Muslims, pro-Biafran protesters, human rights violations against children, etc by the Nigerian army amounts to collusion. 5. The heavy-handed approach of the Nigerian military in dealing with civil disturbance is a major cause of instability in the country - from killing Ken Saro-Wiwa and the massacre in Odi leading to insurgency in the Niger Delta, to the extrajudicial killing of Mohammed Yusuf leading to Boko Haram turning the northeast into a wasteland. They are repeating the same mistakes with the Shia and the pro-Biafrans. As Nigerian authorities and the media are not holding the military to account, any scrutiny (even from foreign sources) should be welcomed by patriotic Nigerians who care about creating a peaceful society based on the rule of law. 5 Likes |

Mr Naijant...I don't do hypocrisy. Sorry. The British journalists have never interviewed their leaders over their rap.e of Nigeria from 1897 to 1960. Why not? The reason they are rich today is because they looted Africa, then installed puppet regimes prior to departing. If their journalists cared for the truth, they would start by interviewing their leaders first, over Nigeria. For instance, what happened to the trillions earned from Nigerian exports in the 70 year colonial rule? If they had reinvested just 20% of the earnings in Nigeria, we would have not been an undeveloped bush at independence, with malnutrition and mass illiteracy. We would have developed democratic institutions capable of preventing the human rights abuses Shakur was yammering about. You don't ignore the root of the ailment and merely address the symptoms. That's insincerity at best, and criminal omission at worst. 1 Like 1 Share |

Stephen is the real MVP. He murdered Buratanshi in cold blood. The COAS is a bug disgrace. This shows he got to that position by quota system. His answers were not convincing he was not assertive. Mehn..Those were hard core questions. The COAS probably pee in his boxers before he left that seat. Nigeria is a disgrace if this is the kind of person we have as the head of army. What a national disgrace! If na too kill innocent civilians, they know how to flex muscles. Nigeria army generally is the most useless in the whole wide world. 4 Likes |
