News broke yesterday of the
killing of an ESN commander
Ikonso and "six others". But
Beneath the media sensation
which expectedly followed lies the question of competence of
Nigeria armed forces.

It was initially reported that
the ESN commander and six of his men were killed in an ESN base during a raid by the police, with the police
incurring no loss. This would
have been a fair win from the
police to me.

But later it was learnt that it
was actually a combined special force operation from
Army, police , DSS, Irt from
Abuja that lead the ambush
operation in which only two
ESN men were killed and
several security operatives including police and army
were killed by few ESN men.
The army initially denied
casualty but has now admitted it lost four men . Considering the low pedigree of our armed forces when it comes to transparency, the figures could be close to ten men as claimed by people on ground, not including security officers killed during reprisals yesterday.
The worrying part
is that the military hierarchy
are celebrating when actually
they incurred more loss.
Note these were almost the
best guys drawn from our security agents. Note also that the killed guy has been
contacted by the Governor to
head the SE vigilante ebubeagu, which made his
identity vulnerable to attack. If the prevailing celebration
mood of our military hierarchy truly reflect their mindset despite loosing more men and risk of heavy escalation, it means they are fighting a war in which army will most likely be overwhelmed in the
nearest future.

The only thing I noticed is a zebra charging towards a uniformed man.

You are very smart but you belief in one Nigeria made me weep for how smart brain like yours can be so wrong at the same time.
Continue believing in one Nigeria, when we have gone, you can keep your nigeria one.
Nice logic though

Nigerian military is one of the best in the continent, na just politics affecting it.. They are very underrated.. Who told you they are almost the
best guys drawn from our security agents?..

If you know that empires fall and empires rise, you would not be a believer of one nigeria, knowing that injustice as a fuel for sustaining her engines will run out one day.
