The voice of Jacob, and hand of Esau. The ambush was deadly, and very unusual. By now, every commander on the frontline knows that BHT can wear army uniforms. What I believe happened was that the unit was contacted by what they thought was MNJTF and fell right into the ambush set.

Reminds me of how Bin Laden was being fed with intel from the Pakistani Intelligence for years. It also makes sense that as we push BHTs back from the Lake Chad region, the Chadians either allow them in, or help push back against Nigeria.

krattoss:
I heard the mi35 and some f7s bombarded bht elements even on chadian airspace aftermath of the matele attack.
. How true is this.. Bidexiii

Sizzorkay:
You just love going in circles while convincing yourself that you are saying something that makes sense right?
I mean, for the love of God, i just said the country is not worth dying for since the leadership doesn't care about the ppl, i said soldiers should down tools and walk if they aren't being well taken care of, yet you just literally said the exact same thing.
And if they are not willing to, they shouldn't be there, at least they would be alive, in case you still don't get it, them losing the battle wasn't the issue here, them dying is, get it? I got upset and sad that they died. How many times do i gotta repeat this? We lost a lot of soldiers we shouldn't have lost.
wow, well that's it for me on this subject.
But next time you disagree with anything i write, respond without insult, that shouldn't be too hard, i don't know you and we never had issues before, so no need for all that.

Stephandeswardt:
Why is our T72 getting blown up by rpg 7? Does BHT have new weapon systems? I saw a T72, that cocked off, the turret blown off......rpg7 isnt meant to defeat a T72.

Sizzorkay:
I've restrained myself from insulting you, but for some reason you don't seem understand never to insult others without being insulted.
How big of a punk are ya?
I said what i said, if it pisses you off, jump off a fvking bridge you silly illiterate, who the heck are you to question my intelligence.
The hell is wrong with you guys talking to others as if you own them?
What such military base are you talking about huh? A soldier , according to info posted on here, said they were caught off-guard, but you are here insisting they weren't, okay.
Regardless whether they were or weren't, that won't bring back the dead.
So get off my case dude.
You had to go back and read comments that was posted several pages back? really?
And why the heck would i wanna join the military in a semi-failed country where the leadership don't give a darn about the people? Show me why Nigeria is worth dying for. Look around you, what benefit are the people reaping for being Nigerians? Nada.
Being a soldier wasn't by force, if you choose to enlist, be ready for the blood and tears, it's not for everyone, don't insult others because they weren't in the military, that's just stupid.
My uncle was gunned down over there months ago while in uniform with pictures of his corpse all over the internet, you sit there and talk to me about some bs. Each family that has made sacrifice knows what they've lost.
Having obsolete equipment is an issue, i never denied that, no one did.
Now your excuse was that they lost because they had low morale? okay, tomorrow if would be because they had flat tires.
Keep on with the excuses, let's see who that helps.
You? you wanna lecture me about comprehension? This must be a joke.

We don't have a professional Army, we have some professional units within the Army, that's about it.
Watch the video and see the disarray, without anyone being in charge of the situation. What kind of military do we have where soldiers can just up and walk away after an attack, who's in charge etc.
But hey, let's blame me and my lack of comprehension.
After all you claimed to have "shot a commission". This is the guy questioning my intelligence. Stay in your lane chief .

BabaOwen:
I don't understand, are there no officers like lieutenants, captains or majors in that place that could have stopped the soldiers from videoing and saying all what they were saying?

Sizzorkay:
bless you.
That's what i just said, have people on watch and on patrols etc, but some people thought i watched too much movies, unreal, this is basic common sense
Not the first time news sources has quoted soldiers saying they were caught unaware, that's lack of discipline, you can't be caught unaware in a war zone, no one said it's easy, i keep stressing that point.
hundreds of terrorists just don't appear from thin air.
How does this not piss people off

giles14:
please my own question is why does most battalions in NE always varies from 150 -370+.

some people are shouting metele is a holding station? those that place really look like a holding station?


that's what you get wen a procurement officer lead the whole army .
Gross failures.
if the head is rotten then so is the body

Stephandeswardt:
I keep hearing they took 40 barrels, they took 40 barrels....i hope it isnt mrls? With the amount of armour we have lost to BHT , or destroyed or BHT destroyed and the amount of atry pieces also.....i wonder just how strong our army is now.

Litmus:
Someone posted a youtube video on Beegsblog depicting individuals porprting to be surviving Nigerian solders in the aftermath of the attack commenting hysterical on background destroyed military vehicles such as Tanks, APC’s and the like. Supposing the Vid is true and not ducted in any way by unscrupulous individuals bent on exploiting the current debacle for political purposes , what sort of weapons could Bokoharam have employed in shattering those tanks and heavy equipment so utterly? I mean, i am aware of a number of weapon types capable of doing so but the soldiers in the vid seem surprised, the implication being that they felt the fault lays with the condition of the Nigerians tanks and APC's not Bokoharam weapons.

this is the vid:

the vid though strikes me as lies of some sorts...

nemesis8u:
In the video the speaker mentions stoppages in the gun of The t72 after 2 shots

Can anybody verify if that is what the audio says .....
My linguistics skill got limitations

Geronimoe:
Why did you ask?

Geronimoe:
Just saw the video. This is pathetic. This country is cursed[b], who did this to us? [/b]We are all complicit on the death of those soldiers, every one of us, the Nigerian people are F'd up.

Sizzorkay:
lol, they're gonna have to swim the Atlantic Ocean to make that happen, I'm far from that war zone i call homeland, will be back someday though, hopefully what Putin said about Africa being a cemetery wont apply to me

Sizzorkay:
They should just dissolve the Nigerian police lol, like for real, it should be their job arresting and hunting down kidnappers. Smh
Yes i know some were deployed, I'm talking about other crimes in other states where soldiers are being used to do police work, the heck is wrong with this country, ugh

Xbee007:
U went to NDA?

BlackBaron:
Maybe there's a fundamental problem with Nigerian army training doctrine?
Its still very haphazard and lots of loopholes uncatered for?
