But we have the biggest army in africa na . All na cruise

being the biggest army does not mean u can fight those that made u the army... u cant fight govt because they are the govt...

Nigeria army abroad is different from Nigeria army in Nigeria.

When they are back home, they go back to their divide and rule mentality. The bigotry and all the ethnicity.

I reliably gathered soldiers at the war front in sambisa are usually scared of their northern comrades because they also share in the ideology of Boko Haram.

You can unsuspectingly get a bullet in the back from your own colleague who's unhappy at how you are decimating terrorists at the battle ground.

You've said it all. this right here is the exact situation of things, commanding officers selling their men out to the enemy, the soldiers are ill equipped compared to the insurgents. it's really sad! and like I always say " Boko Haram can only leave Nigeria when the government wants it to"

Even US use marcineries. Eg Black Water, black shadow etc They call them contractors. These guys are first sent to clear out hostilities before troops come over.

Once again, zulum is mad. Need once said bubu is doing well in the fight against insurgency. Meanwhile the federal government is very happy and comfortable with killings of it's army. And I think the army is also mad to have allowed the incessant killing of their men instead of carrying out a bloody coup to kill the dullard called bubu

Buhari should heed this advice, since we can not finish them off alone, let us work with mercenaries, they seem to work with no sentiments, and they bring in high firepower.

From the look of things and some comments on this topic here too, every body is talking from the position that benefit him financially or tribally.

Nigerians no longer recognise good thinking that accommodates mutual benefits for all concerned.

Think about it too. The fulani president of Nigeria is employing only people he knows and that definitely implied fulani cattle rearers.

What a partetic situation for Nigeriata.

How can BH fight BH? Think it out.

Mr Governors let us talk about their sponsors. Who do you think are their sponsors? How come the weapons entered for them without without costume officer know about it? All the Money FG and some governors paid to them, are they ready to be probe for it.

We start at the fight against insurgency the day we are ready to fight first their sponsors. without that you are all pretenders. Give DSS order to fish out their sponsors and you will see that they are capable of doing so

It is well

[quote author=Amaechi2023 post=99618759] you know all this and your being economical with the truth.
I know that 146 barrack in Calabar. that one in army junction, infact my uncle was their QM way back in 2017.
I've been there twice and those fellas are hardly ever taken to the north east..they engage them more in portharcourt.
forget politics here, we both know the level of casualties faced in maiduguri way back in 2024 can't be compared to now.

1 full battalion may move to maiduguri and the casualties would be less than 40.
while the lives of 49 people still matters, it can't be compared to hundreds of soldiers who lost their lives per unit in maiduguri way back in 2014 cos the then NSA refuse to fund them heavily..

many would have been alive today if only they had enough bullet proof vest which we both know we're in shortage of supplies..[/quo

Kindly watch how the mercenaries left Nigeria. GEJ failed to honour the contract with them. See link below.

So you now agree that your darling daddy is an utter failure for heeding to advice to employ the same winning strategy the former president applied & won the fight against his terrorist brethren? Same thing he stopped even before he was sworn in as president? So you see that you have been doing a very difficult job defending the utter failure of a president?

This is fact Bro! If only arguments here will be more productive and devoid of sentiments we will all reason well and fathom the problems and probable solutions.

Meanwhile, below is the TVC interview Reuben Abati had with a representative of the mercenaries GEJ engaged, and the TRUE story behind their withdrawal from Nigeria. Very interesting interview, if you haven’t seen it before.

Amaechi2023:
maybe we don't know how critical it was then..
there was a time around 2014/2015 when our soldiers were leaving the barrack for maiduguri and it was almost certain that atleast 60% of them won't return.
we were loosing soldiers in the battlefield like it's child play.
ask most soldiers who joined the army during the 80s about how they lost their colleges.
it was around then.
I think in 2015 the army celebrated 3months without bomb blast.

not trying to glorify buhari oo but I'm only stating the truth here..

the casualty level of soldiers in bokoharam zone has reduced drastically.

Hmmm... But Zulum said security is great... Please don't disturb Bubu

.

Buhari to hire the same mercenary he condemned under Jonathan's gov't? Wonders shall never end.

Of course this is what Chad did with the Israeli as mercenaries, and BH was rooted out of their national life once and for all.I hope we have the courage to do what's right!

Onlinefarmstore:


You are trying to bring in performance rating into this. What I was pointing out is the media coverage... See even on my. body you can still see scars of my experience with Boko Haram

Bros so sorry. Feeling so sad reading your experience. Are you still in the army? It is well with you all

https://thecable.ng/zulum-asks-fg-to-hire-mercenaries-seek-foreign-support-to-end-insurgency

Just imagine this confused set of people. The same mercenaries you sent away because of your hate and strive just to continue to paint Jonathan black.
Imagine the level of work those Jona Mercenaries had done before this confused man terminated their contract.

It is obvious to every sane individual that Buharies overzealousness and hate for Jonathan is the singular reason there is still Boko Haram today. If he was not so hateful, insurgency will be a thing of the past today, it wouldn't have even given birth to the recent herdsmen menace.

Buhari is to be blamed for all the insecurity in Nigeria today. that singular hateful act has set us back, another hundred and one years.
Just imagine the level of success those Jonathan Mercenaries achieved in a relatively short time. only if they had been left to do the beautiful work they were engaged to do.

And who says the mercenaries can't be our neighbors like Chad and Nigeriens? Presently our army is demoralized, they need extra support if our C-in-C is discerning.
Cameroon whose army is strong seems to be using the help of Chad mercenaries also, Niger has capable ninjas which we saw being used when our boys hijacked a plane that landed in Niger years ago.
The money used to rehabilitate the boko haram guys or pay ransome should as a matter of urgency be diverted to these mercenaries if we are SINCERE as a nation.
Anyway, once the Northerners are READY to end this insurgency nonsense it will end.

The FG knows the truth and what to do but won't do it except they stand a chance to benefit.

War is something one side either benifits and the other side loses. there can be no two wins in a war.

I have said it times without number that using private foreign security firms will do the trick. An independent system but still takes orders from its primary contractor.

The mercenaries they brought for 2015 election are still running wild causing havoc in the country and you are talking about bringing more. Are they saying bokoharam is too much for a nigerian army that fought and restored peace in Sierra lone, Liberia and Sudan? my father was part of the troops deployed to Sierra lone under ECOMOG he was also redeployed to Liberia as well and he always talked about the exploits of his country men, how they were feared by rebels and highly respected by their counterparts from other countries for their bravery and skills. But what do we have now?

He was referring to south african mercenaries most likely

NEIGHBOUR:


Bros so sorry. Feeling so sad reading your experience. Are you still in the army? It is well with you all

Am not in army, have never been just a civilian

This view is still the only solution right now. If not taken I pity the next administration.
Hire the mercenaries and get it over with

There is difference between mercenaries and assassins and militia and gangsters and ragtag army. Trust me no professional mercenary will still be around after completing the job or contract termonated.

The set of military that fought ecomog are long gone... They were not pooitici, they were not greedy for money or buying houses in Dubai with defence budget. They were not religious bigots or religious fanatics.

The ones there today are bh sympathizers and that's why this war will go on endlessly no matter how much money is thrown at it. How can a president even think about pardoning so called repentant terrorists instead of executing them?

Remember your president once said that a fight a against bh is a fight against the north

Bh is business for some and they are cashing out big. And there's nothing like bandit.. They are all bh members

Your dad was part of Ecomog??My uncle too,but e be like sey my uncle follow for those ones wey thief diamond..Cos when he came back,he resigned from the army and became shit rich in little or no time..To buttress the fact also is his apparent refusal to talk about any of his experiences whatsoever over there...He's just an extremely quiet and extremely rich uncle.
