Heard Nigerian soldiers have started running away again from boko haram.
Leaving ALL weapons,armour, ammuition & hardware to Shekau.
Under the lifeless C-In-C Muhammadu Buhari
When it is time to python dance on bloody civilians in the SE, they will have power.
Bloody COWARDS.


After Buhari looted 1 billion dollars to re-arm the soldiers.
Weapons we no see, money we no see.
Mr Integrity my hair-riddled ass.

And they keep tellin us how service chiefs stole money under Jonathan. Yet no service chief and no NSA has been convicted in a court of law.
Nonsense & Ingredients.

Gentlelord:
ISWAP has striking and overrunning bases repeatedly to loot ammunitions and arms, I feel these guys are planning something VERY VERY big, but what is it? we all don't know

Odunayaw:
First, we thank God for your safety!

Second, WTH is wrong with the Army!!! Good Pete!!
When will they learn that fire power at the Squad & Platoon level is very vital!
One would expect by now that MGLs are used at the Sectional level & we have Heavy weapons companies wielding the big stick -AGLs. Are the Brass so dumb about AREA AFfECT weapons?

The SF shouldn't be some bailout team mopping up after these goddamn incompetent brass fa!

allexpensive:
Bokoharam tactics now is hit hard. Capture Ammunitions and fall out of the area. Gudumbali now under our control.

My question? Where did over 300 bokoharam go after the attack? If ISWAP can strike a whole local government, why can't the military on an offensive dislodge them out of their own location?

I'm only concerned about the stolen weapons. They're gearing up for something but who am I? Just a WC.

I have been under an intense fire fight with these bastards but as it is, what I have learnt is then know who they're attacking. They know these guys on ground are armed with riffles, gun trucks and RPG.

They come with grenade launchers, rocket etc. My question why is grenade launcher in limited use by our own? Proper usage of these equipments is also necessary too. My opinion is, find a way to put SF with some of these guys with limited coin experience.

I have been with MSF and came under attack at our temporary location. First thing you do is to spread out. Everyone knows the right place to face. Repelling the attack heavily with gun trucks, mortars from my side and GL from the msf.

They make it look like BH are armed bandits. With all the footage on the internet one would expect a convincing narrative of what went down, instead it's the usual edit, copy and paste tactics.

The army can do better than this.

Henry240:
The Nigerian Army has released a statement.

It's a shame the Nigerian army could stoop to this level of telling fantasies and lies.

I heard the complete video was up to five minutes. U have any link to that?

jakeporeshenko:
All of your saying the army ordered withdrawal are forgetting that it’s thesame army that just recently returned IDPs to that Gurumbali promising them safety and security, so the same army withdrew from their positions and left civis to die or what ?

And if Indeed the army did withdraw, what the heck were Boko boys shooting PKMs and RPGs at in their video ?

persius555:
If that's the case, is it it safe to say the base was abandoned because it was poorly manned and in order to save face the best option would be to abandon the base to avoid heavy casualty.

Three days is enough to prep serious air offensive.
True, if BH had captured some serious arms, by now they would be doing some bling bling showoff all over the internet by now.
But if there was three days HUMINT before the attack, then this is some serious flaws on their end.
We should be taking full advantage at this point to deal some serious blows.

Tochex101:
I think you make sense plus if boko boys actually found a rich bounty as claimed,they'll never pass the opportunity of displaying their loot in the video they released yesterday.

iblawi:
People complain like babies here sha. Fighting terrorist is not the same as fighting bandits.

If the military got info. 3 days before, the town was also deserted as at the time of the attack, the boys on ground were also asked to retreat and even directed out of the area by NAF plane and most of you think they know nothing about it?

It's not about the approach, the military cares about result.

All i see here is more like a Honeypot. You guys should relax abeg. We go hear story soon.

persius555:
I guess its cheaper on the long run to allow the camp be raided by BHT and then subsequently carry out a well co-ordinated counter offensive to flush them out.

Three days notice is more than enough time to get the three arms of military prepare for an offensive.

jakeporeshenko:
They also conduct thier own independent opps so they can’t always be there to bail out the army and provide CAS during an attack.
simple solution: approve and fasttract procurement of offensive air platforms for the army air wing (attack helos like the t-129), not silly light scout helicopters that generals will turn to battlefield Uber.

persius555:
Just like the previous government, this govt is too contented managing this war rather than bringing it to an end. I doubt if there is any town in Niger, Chad or Cameroon that BH currently occupies. Nigeria is the loose end. BH feels so comfy attacking our military bases rather than the neighbouring countries.

This time tomorrow, one would expect that gudumbali would be severely air raided.

jakeporeshenko:
Are you sure they weren’t more than 300 ?

The group already released a video of the attack

https://twitter.com/donklericuzio/status/1038512358619004929?s=21[/quote]Fucken more than 300

allexpensive:
Over 300 bokoharams. How did they get there? Zero situation awareness. ISR can do little as this place is large.


Last message for the mean time. It's going to be bloody this time around.

allexpensive:
Moving out of here again. Several towns was captured by BOKOHARAM. My boys and I should get airlifted out of here soon.

jakeporeshenko:
Same here, how much is miss budget even ?
Wasn’t it the same NIMASA that procured the ATR -42s before they were transferred to NAF

jakeporeshenko:
PMB has directed that NIMASA to transfer its Aw139 SAR helicopter to the Nigerian navy.

It is only NAF that can save Nigerians in this raining season. Those treacherous conditions have always hampered Nigerian Army activities.
