It's a very sad development that people choose to play that kind of politics. those asking for the head of the president because of the incident are just doing the job of security of the country with their mouths which is always the easiest place to get any job done, especially when you are not the one doing the job.

Their major reason is that the president promised to end boko haram. And I asked, who on earth has ever fulfilled all his promises 100%? my question goes also to those expecting Eldorado from the president. From all indications, the man has made serious progress in the fight against boko haram terrorism, and he is still fighting seriously to quench the problem completely. And thats all that matters. Besides, I haven't seen any country in the world including America that has resolved terrorism quickly.

so why did we vote out gej? All the things u wrote up here can also apply to gej. We for let him continue...

That's cos there is nothing to shout about. Everything we are suffering is as a result of PDP. They brought biko haram into existence in 2 and now blaming buhari for not ending in just 3yrs

It is a shame that Buhari who said that a fight against Boko Haram is an attack on the North, that Boko haram is good for the north is now the president of Nigeria for nearly 4 years and still counting.

Shame on those supporting him.

You are a shameless lier, Buhari never said so. it was just a statement manufactured against him by PDP because it suited their campaign message at that time. And people like you who never reason helped PDP to propagate the information.

If you insist he said so, I challenge you to come up with evidence. either the video or where a recorgnised Nigerian daily quoted him when he said it.

Again, why would he say a thing like that when it was his people that are being killed by boko haram. Even with the way his government has killed the members of the sect, you still believe that stupid and unfounded statement.

Nothing new here, PDP/Jonathan did the same thing and did worse than this. Jonathan went as far as seizing the newspapers publication nationwide just to prevent the news of the killings from reaching the public. Many print media houses' buses were seized, many drivers locked up too. It was a national embarrassing day for all Nigerians home and abroad. It was a total siege.
So, don't come here to tell us what PDP was not.

The Soldier who managed to escape the attack alongside others said at least 70 were killed in the attack. their location was invaded after Boko Haram allegedly issued a threat letter last Friday. That it would soon take over four strategic military locations around the Lake Chad region. The attack came at about 6 pm on Monday evening”, said the soldier.When the soldier on top of the observation post alerted that a large number of Boko Haram fighters were advancing, we all got alarmed as we took cover and waited within the base in Metele.The fight did not last for more than 45 minutes, but it was bloody because the Boko Haram fighters had more armament advantage than the soldiers.When we realised the fight would be against us, we decided to retreat from the camp, but it was rather too late. The camp was surrounded with barbed wire, and the enemy fire was coming from the direction of the entrance. We were like surrounded.
One of the drivers of the gun trucks decided to push through the barbed wire so that other vehicles could follow and escape, but the truck got stuck, that was how many of our soldiers in other vehicles and those on foot were massacred.Those that managed to escape with injuries made it on foot through Cross-Kauwa to Monguno where they boarded commercial vehicles, some even sat in the booth of the Golf cars to get to Maiduguri.The Boko Haram made away with about seven gun trucks of the Nigeria army.
The soldier, who claimed to have made it to Maiduguri on foot after escaping the heated battle, said an attempt to return to the battlefield to evacuate the bodies of the fallen heroes was thwarted. The soldier, who pleaded strict anonymity in the report said the deployed team that went to evacuate the bodies of the soldiers could only pick about five corpses before they suffered yet another ambush attack from Boko Haram fighters, forcing them to abandon the mission and fled The Soldier said something very important here “we need the world to hear how we are being sent to slaughter as though our lives don’t matter”. The Soldiers insisted that the redeployment would put them in danger following the fact that those deployed earlier suffered serious casualty due to inadequate arms and ammunition.When we returned and lodged our complaint, we were asked to go back again to Metele, an area near Kangarwa forest, and we have been there for about three weeks now fighting a defensive battle.We beg the Nigerian media to help us by echoing out our muffled voices. The children of poor Nigerians have been turned into chicken meant for easy sacrifices by our commanders.We are being killed on a daily basis as if our lives don’t matter. Of course as soldiers we signed to lay down our lives in defence of this country, but certainly not in the manner we are being presented for slaughter without dignity.A soldier should die fighting not being chased or overpowered. Our morale has been dampened so badly – not only because we are not given our due allowances; but for the fact that we have been outgunned by the Boko Haram.The situation has gone so bad that it has gotten to a stage that soldiers would be rushing to pack up their camps and flee upon hearing the news that Boko Haram fighters are advancing.
We have suddenly lost our spirit of launching attacks because of lack of resources to prosecute the battle. Many of us are ready to do our best, but there has been no requisite support from those sending us out there.
This is so heartbreaking, May their souls rest in eternal peace. HEROES.

We all flew because we didn't know where the bullets were coming from. They killed some of us who went to evacuate the bodies of the killed soldiers."

We left our armour tanks and weapons . They were all there, the village is still under their control.

What do u expect? APC also did this, even worse. In fact I am surprised they haven't even said it is PDP supporters that carried out these most recent attacks to discredit their government.

Even a neutral critic of this government would ask serious questions because after telling us that they have decapitated boko haram, they still went ahead to "release" 1 billion dollars to fight the already " technically defeated" boko haram and get this ugly event still happened?

And the most painful thing is how they are quiet about the issue, some even denied it... human lives really mean nothing in this country. If this had happened in a reasonable country, d president would definitely address the nation, well how would it even happen in d first place? Terrorists taking on military like they are mere cultists.

Why am I a Nigerian sef

You should be most especially if you are a PDP member or supporter because, you were used to PDP blaming opposition for Boko Haram menace. PDP never took responsibility and probably never will. So, you automatically expected APC to do the same but they have surprised you. Lol

We need to incorporate our local science into the system same also during swearing in of our political leaders. Bible and Qur'an don't affect you when you steal from Government treasury just because you took oath from a book. But when we make it compulsory for any elected leader to swear oath with Osun Osogbo confirmed otumopko them no born the person well to even buy recharge card with Government money.

The claim is derived from statements made in June 2013 and it has not been denied by Buhari. Though there have been attempts to clarify it by claiming he was directing his criticism against the state of emergency:


Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) National Leader, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has criticised the declaration of state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States and the subsequent military offensive against the Boko Haram Islamic sect.

Buhari, who featured on the “Guest of the Week,” a Hausa programme of the Kaduna-based Liberty Radio, yesterday said the federal government’s action was a gross injustice against the north.

According to him, unlike the special treatment the federal government gave to the Niger Delta militants, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished.
