“From the order we were given, Boko Haram is not supposed to occupy an inch of Nigeria’s territory. The strategy they decided to use was to spread our men thinly across the border so that we can boast that no territory is under Boko Haram.“What we should have done is to allow Boko Haram have a particular territory which we can identify and then we would unite our men on one front and form a wall. We would then attack the insurgents head on. Our men are just being killed because they are thinly spread.”

He added, “In the past, AFRICOM would provide us with intelligence and then the Nigerian Air Force would bomb terrorists’ strongholds.“However, this arrangement seems not to be working anymore. What AFRICOM has been doing is to boost security in Niger Republic in order to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on uranium.“It may seem they do not trust Nigeria with intelligence anymore.

He said, “One area in which we are lacking and which was very decisive in Colombia is having real and live intelligence. The US Command was able to show the Colombian forces exactly where insurgent were at any particular time. We don’t have this in Nigeria.“When the President is going to meet our allies in other countries, I will suggest humbly that we talk to these allies – US, UK, France; they have the capacity to give us satellite imagery.

The blood of the innocent shed by this satanic evil APC government will be paid for in full

Naajjii:

I hope you are not a PDP sympathizer because the blood of innocent was shed by PDP for 16years and
now APC with lots of ex PDP. Just in case you think because PDP is no longer in central government then they are free from foundation of what they set up.

Buhari should continue giving Boko Haram millions of dollars in ransom and not equipping our troops.

One day, there will be no solder left to protect his evil regime and Boko Haram will sack him from Aso rock villa

"...A major general told one of our correspondents that apart from the lack of weapons, the military was losing the anti-insurgency war due to two principal reasons — strategy and lack of synergy among the service chiefs.

The source alleged that there was disunity among the service chiefs which was beginning to affect the fight against terror.He added, “The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. (Abayomi) Olonishakin, has no control over the service chiefs

He summons meetings and the service chiefs don’t come.“The indiscipline has reached a level that the service chiefs now bypass the CDS and the Minister of Defence and write letters directly to the President.

The service chiefs even attended Mr President’s campaign launch recently. This is not the military I (have) spent 33 years serving. You don’t break the chain of command.”The senior military officer said the service chiefs had become lords unto themselves and were not opento alternative views.

In the past, AFRICOM would provide us with intelligence and then the Nigerian Air Force would bomb terrorists’ strongholds.“However, this arrange- ment seems not to be working anymore..........“It may seem they do not trust Nigeria with intelligence anymore.”

When the President is going to meet our allies in other countries, I will suggest humbly that we talk to these allies – US, UK, France; they have the capacity to give us satellite imagery. So, instead of our troops fighting and waiting for Boko Haram to attack, they will be able to know, 24/7, where Boko Haram is. It makes it very easy.”He advised the military to be honest with the government as regards its needs rather than pretending that all was well..."
