The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, on Wednesday declared that no army can have enough equipment for its operations.

He spoke in response to the recent killing of about 100 soldiers in Metele, Borno State.

Speaking at the 2018 Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference in Maiduguri, the Borno capital, with the theme: “Optimising the operational efficiency of the Nigerian Army towards safeguarding democracy and national security in Nigeria,” Buratai said the army has started to strategise to end the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East.

According to Buratai: “Internally, there has been violence in some sections of the country, which constitutes security threats to Nigeria’s democracy and existence. The causes of the crises are often for ideological, economic, political, religious and ethnic reasons.

“The fight against Boko Haram in the North-East will continue unabatedly. The army is collaborating with Chad and Cameroon, and we are currently conducting joint operations in adjoining areas.

“No army can have enough equipment to conduct its operations. So it is incumbent on all commanders to know that we are involved in an asymmetric warfare which calls for dynamism and flexibility.”

trash

The worst administration in Nigeria history

I'm ashamed of my country

What happened to the $1billion dollars buhari collected for weapons , embezzled.as usual?

You claim boko haram have been technically defeated yet you are saying you do not have enough weapon to defeat them. Where the $1billion borrowed

Day by day their lies continue to be exposed

But where is the $1b you and buhari collected to procure weapon?

Just to justify why the the $1B counter-insurgency funds were embarrassed or request more money to steal again.
What about the monies budgeted for equipments but embezzled when you were the director of procurement in the army.This man is a failure like the president that should be probe.

If its happening anywhere in the East Nigeria government will buy upto date military weapons from Russia,USA,UK name it and hire Arab mercenaries to come and help them crush the enemies but here they are giving one excuse or the other in fighting Boko haram.
Nigeria is not a 3rd world country,Nigeria is a filthy world country.

That was not what you were saying in 2014 or 2015

Buratai is really wrong with this foolish statement

Sounding like Femi Adesina

After streaking all the allocations meant for the Nigerian army.

Ewu!

Given up already

Lol.But army generals can have enough property in dubai.

So $1b don miss road be dat?! Just like dat!

Cluelessness of black man

This guy is stupid! In a sane country he isn't even fit to lead a brigade.

The hypocrites won't call Buhari clueless now in the fight against insurgency because it is Buhari..... They said Boko Haram has been defeated, now they are being exposed.

It's not even right for a COAS to be making such statement, that's morale killing.

Unless they are deceiving themselves, the war is far from over.

What a silly response from the Chief of Army Staff.


APC has indeed ruined this country.

no Nigeria army has been technically defeated by boko haram! Nigerian army is totally degraded by boko haram!

If the US was thinking like you, small countries like Russia would have done their worse... Buh when you remember the USA, you have to gbemu down a bit....

However, if Nigeria didn't have stealing bastatds, we would have had enough to deal with the islamists....

Oga abeg shut up joor instead of digitizing your crew and operations you still insist on the analog use of brute force at this modern age how will you ever win the war

Buh boko boys had enof equipment to fight and defeat soldiers bruatai doesn't have any tangible excuse to give to Nigerians so he came up with this crap buh forgotten that Nigerians are wiser than solomon sef this time around

The problem we have is our corrupt leaders. Boko haram is a planned game which they are using in looting our treasury. But it has gone beyond the original plan now and they are facing the birth of jihadist in Nigeria. It should just remain there in north east. If them like make them finish themselves.

America had enough weapons & hardware that after the end of Vietnam & Iraq wars the Americans abandoned their Huwees helicopters and the Army trucks to both Vietnam & the Iraqi Army.
So our COAS sayings that no country has enough weapons is utter bull shiiit.

smh

First show us the little you have first let's even see na

Then surrender and stop wasting money or better give them there calph8
