It's saddened that on a daily basis, the Nigerian Army keep losing its men in the war front but the most worrisome part is why the Nigerian Army Authority has kept denying its men being killed.
In the midst of December, 2018, getting to Christmas period, some troops of the Nigerian Army posted to the North East were on Escort to somewhere around Yobe state. It was reliably learnt that these Escorts met a military check point supposed to be friendlies, not knowing they're Boko Haram terrorists disguising as friendlies, they exchanged greetings like usual and went on but on coming back at night, getting to the checkpoint, they were attacked and almost all of them were killed while some who were likely fortunate escaped with gun wounds. Two soldiers who were recently posted to the North East from Ikorodu barracks were among the dead soldiers, Corporal Edet was one of the two. Following this terrible development, the Army directed every checkpoints removed. The worrisome is the fact that the Nigerian Army keep denying that its soldiers are being killed due to obsolete weapons.

God bless Nigeria!

NA and the FG doesn't know what else to do. But what I don't understand is why they have failed to seek help from countries that know how to deal with terrorism like Isreal. Have you wondered how that country has been able to exist in midst of all the very hostile Arab countries that serves as their neighbour.

Just as this government deny responsibility for their failures same way they are denying the Nigerian soldiers being killed in the north east.

Few days ago femi Adesina denied soldiers complaining of being in short supply of sophisticated weapons by saying that soldiers posting those videos are fake.
Buhari's government is not only wicked but a scam
