EternalTruths: If I'd been in Borno, i'd've been commander and I'd never have been outwitted by no ape-brained Bokoharam scum-bag. I'm an individual that trusts no one and always anticipate situations. Problem with Nigerians is that they have beautiful trusting minds,which is often overlooked because of their overblown reputation for criminality. Nigerians are guileless. |

I suspect foul game against Westerners and Southerners, they will not release the identity of those soldiers. Yoruba's and Ibo's in uniform should wise up |

Roger3D: If u know history,u will know they had wanted a base around bakassi penisula but this was not accepted.There have been calls for them to have the base for over 5 at lake Chad province, but they did not give a green light not untill this year they gave their full nod.Y do u think they quickly jumped into Libya?And y have they not gone to Somalia all these years to tackle Alshabab? So I don't know wat the heck,y u saying I know nothing about it as if wat u are saying came from planet Mars. |

FarahAideed: Let's not get too excited. advance warning was from the lookout in the watchtower, not some street level intel. that means by the time that warning came, the battalion was already surrounded, the BH advance was already in progress, they just delayed opening fire by an hour, probably to mess up the mind and morale of the troops. If a T-72 does not have reactive armour upgrade, anti-tank RPG can knock it out. At the end of the day if the BH has 500 rounds per man, and the NA has 120 rounds per man, after 30 minutes standoff turns to slaughter, pure and simple. The only saviour would have been minimizing ammo (like civil war Owerri siege) and hunkering until backup/air support arrives. 2 Likes |

Drchristian: It's terribly unfair to refer to our troops as cowards, bearing in mind they must obey orders. What is clear is that BH has changed tactics and NA has not, leading to increasing casualties and losses for us. NA wants to fight BH using conventional tactics and heavy weapons ill-suited for northeastern/sahel terrain. Even if they wanted to, it will be suicidal to take the fight to BH using current methods and hardware. 2 Likes 1 Share |

To even say that is an embarrassment. It's rather to give beneath of a doubt that you survived because of bravery instead of exposing that you're a coward. Reasons why I have no respect for Nigeria army. If it's civilians now, they do operation crocodile smile but, if it's Boko Haram, they'll run. Shame! 1 Like |

Litmus: Easy for you to say from far off. Most of the commanders i've met in NE are NOT from the North; I find this intriguing and disturbing at the same time. This war, you need street cred and local intel like yesterday, you need to get the locals to trust you. As it stands, BH, using terror and coercion, largely have the edge over our boots on the ground. And lest we forget, military high command is feeding fat off this war and don't give a damn about rank and file. 1 Like |

san316: Ive made the point on several threads on the Metele attack. A major problem is training and orientation. The attack was most unfortunate as it was a national embarrassment. That BH in just Toyota Hilux vans, motor bike, ak47s and a few RPGs could annihilate over 100 soldiers after less than an hour of fight, EVEN WITH ADVANCE WARNING, shows the very poor and pitiable state of the NA. They keep shouting lack of weapons, but according to the report by PT, BH carted away large cache of weapons from the base. So where did it come from? Of course the buck stops with the guys in Abuja, right from Burutai to PMB. We don't have an army 5 Likes |

I watched the video on the attack. It was a disaster. BH are ruthless. I dont know why the govt is paying them or negotiating with them. They were aware of the impending attack and waited for it to come at them. I wonder what kind of training their commander had. Should have called in for air force to launch strikes. The army is a joke. Top generals got blood on their hand. |

ChaleeBendel:I don't believe this. They got an hour heads up and those killed in the video we watched were not wearing battle gears. They had at least one T 71 tank in that base and if it had coughed on the insurgents twice, they would all be dead. Finally, if they ran out of arms, which weapons were in the armoury for the insurgents to loot? Maybe the video been shared is fake. 2 Likes 1 Share |

See what a Nigeria soldier is saying out of his mouth, we soldier are been killed every day. At first what is primary assignment of the Nigeria soldiers. A Nigeria soldier well trained for years will be there an ordinary civilian will come and kill him. That is say that the Nigeria soldiers are no longer ready to protect Nigerians. The most annoying part is that the soldier claim that there guns are old guns, my brothers have you seen any Nigerian soldier on the street of Nigeria with guns that is not working. 1 Like |

If you watch the second video posted by disgruntled soldiers, they complained of Tanks that could only fire twice and MRAPS that stopped working due to overheating because they were bought in 1983.

FarahAideed: That is what the military wants you and I to believe. In the same video, the soldier said that those MRAPS were old and defective and the service chiefs lied to FG hat they bought new equipment which isn't hard to do.
