Check and you will see that those making these stupid assertions and crying wolf, are from Eastern section of the country and predominantly PDP sympathisers.
If for every soldier lost in battle, the President is declared incompetent, then these ignorant yoots from the PDP/East should go and engage the terrorist and let us see if they can do a better job.

Any small thing, even of their wife refuse to born a male child, they will start shouting Buhari ...as if that will stop us from re-electing him next month.



it is getting annoying they are part of the problem of this country they politicize everything and it is getting annoying. Even if our Army were the best in the World some of them would still die, Sometimes everything go out of control and Accidents and Mistakes Happens but most comments here shows Nigerians are just dumb and it is annoying embarassed

Receive sense once again, it doesn’t have to be between this two old dinosaurs with no ideas. If only everyone that made this statement will support Sowore and see whether it will be a two horse race.
He's saying the truth bro. I know both Apc and pdp are thesame set of thieves but the fact is that sowore or any other party cannot win this election because of the way we practice election in Nigeria, also the way Nigeria is structured, it will be a miracle if another party wins apart from the two major parties.

When Nigerian Government and the top heads in the Nigerian army are ready to fight and oust these pigs out of North East Nigeria, they will do so.

Now, they are just busy making money out of the predicament Nigeria is inside.

You are stupid, So in your eyes you are campaigning for PDP ? How much are you promise? and what political office are you seeking through PDP must you politicize everything? I was talking base on what happened excluding any political interest. You guys are part of Nigeria problem so you think i was rooting for APC? I am not going to vote for PDP and APC, and i am just talking base on what happened. You guys that politicise everything are part of Nigeria problems

The helicopter must have been shot down with the artillery of Boko Haram, yet PMB/APC government keep voting funds for security which they originally intend to divert through corrupt means.

Five crew members, including two pilots and three personnel of the Nigerian Air Force have been confirmed dead in the helicopter crash which occurred in Damasak, Borno State, late on Wednesday.

The deceased are identified as; Flight Lieutenant Perowei Jacob, pilot in command; Flight Lieutenant Kaltho Kilyofas, co-pilot; Sergeant Auwal Ibrahim, flight technician; Lance corporal Adamu Nura, gunner, and Aircraftman Meshack Ishmael, gunner.

The NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, confirmed their deaths in a release on Thursday, noting that their remains had been deposited in Maiduguri, Borno State.

An attack helicopter of the NAF deployed in the fight against the Boko Haram insurgents had been reported to have been lost in combat.

The NAF had said the aircraft was lost around 10.30pm on Wednesday, noting that the helicopter was providing close air support to troops of 145 Battalion at Damasak in Northern Borno State.
Northern Borno is a vulnerable area where the Islamic State of West African Province fighters were attempting to overrun military bases, with attacks on Metele, Buni Gari and Baga in the latest attempted invasion on December 26 and 27, 2018.

The NAF’s spokesman, Daramola, had said, “A Nigerian Air Force helicopter was lost in combat while providing close air support to troops of 145 Battalion at Damasak in Northern Borno State. The mission was part of the ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the North-East.

“The incident, occurred about 7:45pm on January 2. Details of the cause of the crash are still scanty. As soon as the details of the crash are known, they will be made available to the public.”

More details later…

That ijaw man Flight Lieutenant Pereowei Jacob just wasted his life for Northern Nigeria crisis.

Your ijaw people are suffering in the Niger delta region from environmental degradation and ecological devastation. But he went to join the military of a failed republic.

No tangible federal government project in ijaw land and the other parts of the niger delta region.

But the government is spending so much on the military.

Every body keeps shouting Boko Haram

Like we dont know that Boko Haram is an object of the Government. Who do you think put them there.

If Boko Haram were as stubborn as the media would make us believe, they should have overrun the entire nation by now like ISIS did to Syria. We should be having resistance groups springing left right and center.

We are here talking about ill equipped soldiers who take only 2 magazine for their rifles to war. If that were s we should not have any military anymore......they should have all being killed by now.

You and I would not be sitting here typing rants.....they would be conscripting us into the army by now.

The fact that these insurgencies are happening in pockets tells me someone of some people up there are sponsoring these guys.

Think about all that loan that Buhari collected that he purportedly dolled out.......who do you think he gave the money to.

Let us not forget what Bubu said the first time he lost an election......he said he was prepared to make Nigeria ungovernable if he did not win. And that was exactly what he did in 2009.

Uptil now, he has refused to proscribe them. Now it is not just Boko Hram.......it has now included cowboys with assault rifles.

When you call blood suckers to come and help you clear a space, better be prepared to continue giving them more blood when you move into the space, otherwise it is your blood they would come for next. That is what is happening here.

I wonder why there is a lot of Idiots on Nairaland, This is A War for god sake, even USA are no match for terrorists in Afghanistan, they lost 51 soldiers in Last year November, i think you guys are watching too much hollywood movies to think only those guys can conquer bokoharam. USA have been fighting in Afghanistan since when? and i don't know how there wouldn't be casualties in Any War no matter your arms even if you are well armed to the core, Just pray for the army and stoll all this trash talking
USA armed afghan rebels during the cold war and are now fighting them
Compare 51 soldiers to the hundredsvlost last year due to sabotage and tribalism and then see why nobody in his sane mind is comparing US and here

Nigerian Air Force should follow the basic rule of air combat. Helicopters are deployed after Jets have done their job by taking out any ground to air capability of the enemy. Boko haram AA guns on trucks can bring down helicopters. Nigerian needs F 16s to F 32 or Su 25 Jets with Drones to eliminate those jihadist

Every soldier is aware he/she may die in battlefield. If you knew the real truth behind soldiers' deaths at the hands of BHT you'd understand my point. I have people in the military and the public knows absolutely nothing about the real truth.
