Nigerian Army to deploy 197 Unprofessional Army to Gambia

Zoo army deploys 197 arsonists

how can they go clean someone else mess and their mess keep staring at them...the train passengers are yet to be freed wtf

And no peace in your country yeye dey smell

The already stretched army you say what¿??

The ones on ground seem like it's not enough despite the effort and now they are providing 197 personnel to Gambi... Height of iberiberism on full display

Fvcking joke

Obagofixxy:
please be specific NDA or recruit

NDA graduates and DSSC (called officers) are 12 while the recruits (called soldiers) are the remaining 185.

Gambia no naija

Funny to note that before these troops are being deployed to a foreign land, they go through serious training and drop personnel who are not physically and mentally fit. In other words, the best are flown out of the country for Peace Keeping Mission. While the troops who have one sickness or the other are left behind to combat insurgency.
Inview of the above, we expect them to win......this country na cruise I swear! �

Kill all politicians and "Make Nigeria Great Again"
I believe Nigeria will be better after the elections. We have a curse in Aso Rock right now.

NAN reports that out of thea 197 heading to The Gambia, 185 are soldiers and 12 are officers.https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/526651-nigerian-army-to-deploy-197-troops-to-gambia.html

so the remaining 12 officers are not solders they are money eaters

that's a good one and Nigeria has a very good record on peace keeping mission and has one of the best military in Africa considering their history and plz don't be deceived by Boko Haram and bandit's superiority against our military cos Its a man made thing if they truly decide to end terrorism in Nigeria it won't take up to a month but because of corruption and evil agenda of the north and don't forget that it is the Nigeria military that went to Liberia during Obasanjo's regim to restore peace and brought the war in Liberia to an end......so God be with them and I pray that Nigeria be healed cos this is a great Nation....

To fight Boko Haram?

The case of You are leaving your house that's on fire to that of your neighbor to offer helping hands.
Very anyhow government. Bunch of clowns.

Why didn't ECOWAS deploy troops to assist the incompetent Nigeria military instead?

Those one Na Oga boys an Oga girls na

Our so-called leaders won't cease to amaze me.


A country which has been practically on fire for God knows for how long now, is trying to put out the fire in other countries.

clowns

This country is a joke. Its so sad a country as bandit and terrorist ridden as ours is sending soldiers to a more peaceful country to do "excursion"

Deploying troops abroad when your own house is on fire ! Iyen nan nice o !

When our house is on fire.

Meaning the so called ECOWAS don't realize we actually need them to deploy soldiers to Nigeria so we can fight terrorism instead, they taking away the little we have...
