A place were 100 soldiers died the least we expect is a thousand terrorist dead bodies , but look at the score NA lost 100 men , BH lost less than ten. isn't this flawless . this shows how pathetic our soldiers are when it comes to training, this Ajebo soldier is complaining about "not well equipped" , is it not the same weapons that the NA are running and leaving behind that the BH are using ?, if u have a running mind u will run even if your body is covered with bullet proof from head to toe. but a brave soldiers will fight even without gun, there is knife and there is combat training also. A brave soldier will rather die honourably than to die running away. Please let them know being a soldier is a sacrifice not an enjoying job. " I wonder what some people are doing in Army when they cannot slaughter a common chicken at home "

Sirlancelot:
And no one knows how many soldiers this 157 BN dismissed in 2016.The fight have not been won yet they keep busy dismissing soldiers. I am a dismissed personnel from that very battalion. Its unfortunate but I give glory to God.

FarahAideed:

Those MRAPs where donated to Nigeria in 2014

HigherEd:

You people are ridiculous. Why don't you go and join the battle. My friend in the military posted to borno told me that the average weapons boko uses is anti aircraft guns. Their range and intensity is superior to the AK47 Nigerian soldiers.
Until Nigeria starts procuring F-16s and the like capable of giving cover then Nigeria may continue to lose this battle.

It might be time for us to call in the US Airforce for assistance in this war.

Jose2001:

WHERE U IN THE BATTALION WHEN THE MRAPs WERE DONATED TO THEM

Absoj:
its self explanatory. Ammo isn't enof.

Jose2001:

IF I MAY ASK?
CAN'T THEY CALL ANY NEARBY BATTALION OR BRIGADE TO ASSIST AS THEY HAD LIKE AN HOUR TO PREPARE

ChaleeBendel:

You can't really blame the foot soldiers. Their combat vehicles and ammunition were those procured when Shagari (and Jonathan) were presidents.

Pontaboki:
Sarrki and Madridguy should be sent to the war front Asap.When boko boys come let them shout sai baba.

FarahAideed:


You don't need much for an ambush.. the power of the ambush lies in the surprise it springs and it's ability distort the battle plan of the enemy ... Even even three well placed snipers and a couple of mines can create a perfect ambush and if the CO knew he didn't have enough ammo to hold fort he should have called for a tactical retreat and moved our T72 out of there instead of leaving it for Boko haram to steal

Tonalphs:
Nigerians are so filled with hate. Y'all have forgotten that these soldiers being ridiculed are sacrificing their lives for ours. If they stand back or turn back like y'all are saying, who would protect the citizens of Nigeria. I expect us to hold our politicians and chief of staff accountable for the huge amount of ammunition allocated to them than hate. Our soldiers are able to long as they have the right ammunition to battle. If you have a loved one in the military you will know what it means n how it feels when all people do is hate n blame these soldiers..
Someone has to protect the nation. Please let's respect those that have n are

Jose2001:

IF I MAY ASK U?
WILL U RUN IN THE DIRECTION OF THOUSAND BULLETS WASTED?
BESIDES WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF RUNNING AWAY WITH EMPTY MAGAZINE?

jaafree:
. Running is never the first option nor the second in the military. why even running when there is no place to run to. had it been all these wasted 100soldiers stay and fight instead of running so many BH scores will be counted either

Sirlancelot:
No punishment only if you stay out if trouble. As you are a deserter,don't claim being a soldier or wear the camo on your body. Once you do that nothing bad happen.just live a normal life devoid of walaha

Caution30:

This the most sensible post on this thread
I am surprised, when people blame the foot soldiers.
They are out risking their lives, while many are here typing trash.
If these guys are well equipped and motivated, this BH menace would have ended long ago.
But there are people at the top, who benefits from all chaos.Saddly, Many of us cannot see this because we are blinded by political affiliation or religious and tribe sentiments

A friends brother is among those who fled and he said over 120 soldiers lost their life. Boko haram guys drove into the soldiers camp with solders truck, gun, clothes and all

Tonalphs:

Thanks dear. It is well with Nigeria. I have so many military friends from army to naf. Four in Borno fa. Hate shouldn't be our thing at this point in time. I'll rather we speak up for these helpless soldiers. Things I've heard eh, you'll just know Nigeria needs cleansing from the top politicians and military officers. If all of them are wiped out, give these soldiers the right ammunition n see these terrorists become a thing of the past.

imam07:
Why war Ojukwu was unable to do dat?

Caution30:

If it gonna be well with Nigeria then the average Nigerian need to change their mind set, holding their leader accountable, address national issues base on merit not on sentiments.
I am a barrack brought up, and have seen family we lost their love ones to the Liberia and Sierra Leone civil war,It was such a devastating experience
So when they are out there trying to defend the country,we have to support them with our prayers.

Sirlancelot:

Its plainly due to 13 days AWOL I embarked on in order to write my final year exams.An action I regreted.Not only me,about 100 plus was dismissed on account of desert.Six months no,communication with my loved ones,the reason for going AWOL.At that point in time I expect nothing less than IHL,menial punishment.But alas,we are handed outright dismissal from the service. I don't expect this to have gone to that level judging from the volatile counter insurgency operations going on.
