Odunayaw:
What is this man saying

Did you not see where that fellow said he's okay with the way things is?
Meanwhile, who are you to tell me what to save? If you're hard of understanding you don't need to quote me

I understand you and all your ranting, "mr keyboard warrior" If you don't want someone to quote you, then you can logg-off
Read through is lines very well, his not saying he really loves the way things are ? Despite the hardship he loves is country.
Talking of comprehension you are far from it, you need to calm your nerves down.

Odunayaw:
Depends on how you're reading it. Karma has no other translation.

Now answer, are you "enjoying Nigeria as it is"? Am over reacting to what? That someone wishes Nigeria to continue with the wanton killings, kidnappings etc? Someone wishes I continue praying through a 10hr journey to Minna and more prayers when I am going to Edo?

That's what you're defending? You are content that brides are being stolen from their grooms and families being torn apart by illiterate elements?

Its a simple fact of life, if you escape it sooner or later someone you know or someone you know that knows someone will be on the receiving end.
I buried my head in the sand and was not playing God when a distant cousin's family of 6 were wiped out. I was not worried when my colleague had to travel for his traditionals and came back in a body bag


Well-done

Dude save your speech.

Acting as if Boko haram menance and proverty in the land just started today, who is happy the way Nigeria his ? You need to calm your nerves cos you are misinterpreting me as well as krattoss.

I started these shit by posting that comment earlier on;
You can do better by proffering positive solutions as a Nigerian. All these speech of yours, as no positive effect.

And talking of loosing loved ones and sacrifice made; we have made such sacrifices one means of the other as Nigerians .

Odunayaw:
This is pitiful to say the least. If you've not lost a whole family to irritant clashes you don't know where it hurts yet

In your reasoning how does natural disasters connect with what's going on here.
Is the US now a benchmark for common sense? What kind of person is "okay" with chaos. Even teenagers would be chided for such stupid reasoning.

Is it too much to ask that we don't become animals? You disgust me walahi.
Sooner or later you'd also be furcked by this same ills you are "okay" with, its then you would wish you reason like a human being!

Dude calm down. I'v and we've lost families, friends and love ones.

You're over reacting and people are still going to die. You're ain't God to say you'd be bleeped by this same ills you are okay with.

PRESS RELEASE

SAHARA REPORTERS LIED ON BHT CAPTURE OF FIVE ADAMAWA TOWNS

The attention of Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE has been drawn to a misleading news story on Sahara Reporters website, posted on 4th February 2019, alleging that Boko Haram terrorists have taken over four towns in Adamawa State. This is not true.

Contrary to Sahara Reporters' claims in that online story, the Headquarters Theatre Command wishes to inform the general public that the said publication is untrue and a far cry from the reality on ground in Adamawa state. Categorically, no town in Adamawa, Borno or Yobe state is under the control of the insurgents. Unfortunately ,the alarming publication has generated undue panic amongst the general public and therefore needs to be addressed.

In straightening the records, troops were alerted to an attack on Shuwa by Boko Haram terrorists who had infiltrated the village through Karchinga on a looting mission, to which the troops of 143 Battalion swiftly responded by moblising themselves to Shuwa village, where they fiercely engaged the insurgents in combat and successfully repelled the attack and curtailed the incursion. The troops, who recovered one Hand Grenade and 6 rounds of Anti Aircraft ammunition after the encounter are currently holding grounds in Shuwa village, while some elements of the Battalion are exploiting further in pursuit of the fleeing insurgents.

Sadly, before the arrival of troops to the location, the insurgents had killed 3 persons, looted and torched a shop, a health care centre and a local market.

It is pertinent to further inform that calm has been restored in Shuwa village, while Madagali, Michika, Gulak and Baza towns remain peaceful and firmly under control of the troops.

Our hearts go out in deep sympathy to those who fell during the attack and those who have been affected in one way or the other by the incident.

We however urge Sahara Reporters to desist from its alarming and sensationalized reportage to avoid panic.

Please disseminate this information to the general public through your medium.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

SECURITY OPERATIONS:
The govt response to the Zamfara crisis came in the form of Police deployment and two major military Ops- Sharan Daji and Diran Mikiya. Several troops, including special forces have been deployed to the state. Fighter and surveillance air craft now conduct... Although the response is late and yet not giving these bandits/militias a bloody nose.

Book Review: Ratels on the Lomba. The Story of Charlie Squadron



Military historian Dr. Leopold Scholtz wrote Ratels on the Lomba to remember the National Servicemen [NSMs] of the then South African Defence Force (SADF) who fought a forgotten battle against great odds in Angola. The government of the era ordered the veterans not to speak about it and the new government following the end of Apartheid did not want to hear about it.

Scholtz and the veterans believed the story should be told, and the author used a combination of archive research and interviews with the veterans to tell a fascinating story...... https://www.defenceweb.co.za/resources/book-review-ratels-on-the-lomba-the-story-of-charlie-squadron/

TROOPS ON EXERCISE EGWU EKE III ARREST THUGS WITH DANGEROUS WEAPONS IN SOKOTO STATE

Troops of 8 Division, Nigerian Army, on Exercise EGWU EKE III, in conjunction with other security agencies have recovered dangerous weapons from criminals and political thugs in Sokoto State. This has really contributed immensely to a peaceful security situation in the State.

However, yesterday, Saturday 2nd January 2019, troops on joint stop and search patrol patrol with other security agencies, arrested 16 persons believed to be political thugs armed with dangerous weapons along Illela-Danfulani-Gwadabawa road. The suspects were arrested armed with 27 axes and 16 customised sticks. While still conducting the search, a prominent politician in the state and a serving Senator, came to the scene and ordered his mobile police escorts to release them. In the process, the Department of State Service operative was molested and his clothes torn. The patriotic and professional officer still held on to the seized weapons. Similarly, another prominent politician from Zamfara State had earlier tried to influence the investigation of arrested armed poltical thugs.

These undue pressures and attempts to interfere with the conduct of the Exercise for selfish reasons are indeed worrisome and disturbing and will not be tolerated. The Nigerian Army has always been professional, impartial and apolitical and will continue to be so. Since the operationalization of the Exercise in January 2019, we have arrested thugs armed with dangerous weapons across the various political parties, without fear or favour. The thugs were documented and handed over to the police. We have noted with great concern that such criminals usually find themselves back into the society without any sanction.

Consequently, we would like to reiterate our commitment to creating a conducive and secured environment for the smooth and peaceful conduct of the forthcoming general elections in the country. Therefore, we would not tolerate any undue interference from any quarters in the discharge of this noble responsibility. Additionally, we have resolved to hold on to any arrested criminal or armed thugs till the end of the elections. All Commaders have been further directed to continue to carry out their duties diligently, despite the provocation from some misguided elements.

PRESS RELEASE

BOKO HARAM NOW EMPLOYING DECEPTION TO WIN CONFIDENCE OF LOCALS

The Theatre Command Operation LAFIYA DOLE, has uncovered the employment of deception by Boko Haram terrorists to win the confidence and support of locals in the North East. The Theatre Commander, Operation LAFIYA DOLE Major General Benson Akinroluyo, raised the alarm while addressing troops of Sector 2 Operation LAFIYA DOLE during a three-day operational tour of the sector's area of responsibility that lasted from Thursday 31 January to Saturday 2 February 2019.

The Theatre Commander disclosed further, that Boko Haram terrorists now engage in cattle rustling and later return the rustled cattle to their owners, thereby deceitfully creating the impression of " the Good Samaritan" and presenting themselves as a "protector of the people". He described the gimmick as a dangerous ploy that must be nipped in the bud, before it spirals out of control. The Commander urged the troops to prevent any form of cattle rustling by the insurgents, as it is now being used as a means of psychological warfare to make the locals see them in positive light and be receptive to their ideology.

General Akinroluyo also called on all community and opinion leaders to educate members of their communities on the development, adding, that they must be vigilant and not fall for the wiles of the terrorists. He added, that while cattle rustling has been earlier identified as a means of raising funds for Boko Haram terrorists, another use for cattle rustling has been invented by the terrorists, which they carry out by first stealing the cattle and later returning same to their owners to make the locals believe they are pious and possibly turn blind eyes to the nefarious activities of the terrorists. He therefore urged the people of the North East, particularly the youth, not to be persuaded to join the terrorists group describing it as the enemy of the people.

The Theatre Commander accompanied by the Commander Sector 2, Brigadier General Mohammed Dala also visited the troops in Nigerian Army Special Forces School and 27 Task Force Brigade both in Buni Yadi, as well as 159 and 233 Battalions in Geidam and Damaturu respectively, where he assured the troops that their operational challenges and welfare are getting adequate attention. He also paid a visit to in-patient troops undergoing medical treatment at the Sector 2 Field Ambulance.

Speaking further during his address to the troops, General Akinroluyo charged them to remain professional and alive to their responsibilities in the onslought against the insurgents, urging them to be resilient until the attainment of a decisive defeat.

TROOPS VANQUISH BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS

Troops of Sector 3 of Operation LAFIYA DOLE deployed in Mallam Fatori in Abadam Local Government of Borno State yesterday 2 February 2019 at about 6pm during a routine defence patrol encountered Boko Haram Terrorists whose intent was to attack troop’s location. The insurgents who came in their numbers met their waterloo as the gallant troops proved to be hard knot for them to crack.

The terrorists were mercilessly trashed due to the superior fire power, courage and discipline displayed by own troops in conjunction with the Air Task Force. Many of them were neutralized while several others escaped with gunshot wounds. Various weapons and ammunitions were recovered from the terrorists. Unfortunately, three soldiers were wounded in action and presently receiving treatment at 7 Division Hospital Maiduguri.
