U mean same military that didn't record any success in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Don't say nonsense.

The Afghanistan terrain is far more fierce than whatever obtains in the north east. And it is a foreign country where most hate America.

You don't expect success to be swift. Even Russia had to run away from Afghanistan.

Nigeria on the other hand is not fighting terrorism in a foreign land.
It shouldn't be taking this much time to conclude.

Most irresponsible lunatics will tell you there is no Christian or southerner in buhari's security team, meanwhile Chief of defence staff, boss of all service chiefs is a christian and southerner, Chief of Naval staff, christian and southerner.

Quit living in the past. Missions against ragtags. Spent our $12 billion oil windfall on.

When we're you born?
Where did you get the figures from?
12bn dollars?

What is in the past? last year? America agencies just released the list this past year and haven't released an updated list.

Oh! do you mean the General just joined the army three years ago that he didn't deserve the accolades from the peace keeping mission era, Not forgetting that Nigerian military were instrumental in ensuring the return of democracy in ivory coast and Gambia in recent years, or is it the instrumental role played in Sudan and democratic republic of Congo in years gone by

As far as I am concerned, America hasn't won a battle in recent history after world war 2 and the Korean wars, they came out with a bloody nose from wars in Vietnam to Afghanistan to Iraq

Go and read some history girl and stop displaying a high level of ignorance on the cyberspace

Same military that toppled jihadi government of Taliban and saddam hussein and handed over to a civilian government which could not maintain what USA handed over. USA cannot continue to rule Iraq and Afganistan

They didn't hand over for it to be maintained. Why did they invade a peaceful place in the first place?

Whether home or away, Nigeria has recorded for successes away from home than the US in recent times, case study include Sierria Leone and Liberia. For the US, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq were utter failures. Even if the terrain is very difficult which I agree with, how about all the technology they pack? Wasn't it useful there?

According to buhari and his kins men.....people that carry arms like fulani herds men and boko haram are not terrorist.....but they kidnap young school girls(and turn them to sucide bombers and underage mother).....they burn religious centres....disrupt businesses....and committing all manners of crime against humanity......while ordinary Ipob members that were prostesting peacefully.......were labeled terrorists.....and brutaly killed unjustly.

One sure thing......is buhari and his kins men are forever hunted.....and that's why the north will never b developed.

You lack understanding about military accoutrements that accompany a service dress. That visit warranted the use of ceremonial dress so he had to appear in full regalia.

This is a blind argument.There is no comparison between American army and the Nigerian army .
First off, they are better equipped and professional. I have never heard a military man harassed a civilian for wearing camouflage or not giving way to them/him.

The man in the pix, Joseph Dunford is the Chairman of Joint Chiefs, the equivalent of Olonisakin, who is Nigeria's chief of Defence staff.

Mad Dog Mattis is the Secretary of Defence, the equivalent of our Minister for Defence. But in the US, the Secretary of Defence has command authority over the military, which the minister of defence dont have in Nigeria.
