OAUTemitayo: Brother FireFire,
I thought the PDP led Federal Government said they are in control of Bama?
How did Boko Haram got to have bases in Bama that the Airforce is now striking?
The thing dey make my eyes roll like earth rotation o

Ogbonaikenna: nigeria is dead. Be proud of your new country, oduduwa

BlackTechnology: Their plan to keep us weak militarily is now working against them.

The little weapons down South is to protect our region

Don't you agree

Ogbonaikenna: my friend from oduduwa republic, you should be the happiest nairalander cos very soon you will stop being ruled by "Jonathan".

barcanista: demdem / demdem1 come laugh this boy. Dunce you don't knw that Ijaw/Izon in a tribe with ogbia, nembe, etal Kingdoms within Ijaw Group. U are a very brainless man that thinks he knows. Your comment is the most foolish I've read or imagined in 2014.

I feel u. His Foolishness is legendary.

OchukoisBlack: Was Bama (re)captured? Don't know who to believe now,our Government( ) has failed to realize that burden of proof lies with them. Show us proof that you're winning the war and pushing BH out of their captured territories and we'll damn Sahara reporters.

thwarrior72: Says the Osunite, who has not gone beyond ore

Goon again u don't know what u are talking about. Osunite indeed. why not ekitite

homerac7: You don't really want to know the truth son. These lies make you sleep better at night.

xxxoladevoxxx: Oh Lord! you cant even spell sef...oh i forgot ure drunk too

thwarrior72: You have not gone beyond ore, so how would you know?

barcanista: I believe he won't comment ignorantly again

barcanista: Okrika is a Kingdom, Ijaw is a Tribe. Ijaw has MANY KINGDOMS, Kalabari, Brass, Andoni etc.
I am NOT the one that said Ikwerre is not Igbo, The Ikwerres themselves INSIST that they are distinct from Igbos. Now if you have problem with attachment it is your phucking business.
Link between Okrika and Ijaw? hahahaahaha Let me assume that you speak out of Ignorance. FYI, Okrika Kingdom is a Kingdom under IJAW tribe, its a Eastern Ijaw Clan along with Ibani (Bonny, Finima and Opobo), Kalabari and Nkoro. This is because we reside in the east of NIGER DELTA.

PhockPhockMan: HYPOCRITE, the President is from your tribe abi? It's the same you who insisted that Ikweres are not Igbos despite the overwhelming similarities, now you're claiming Ijaw. What is the link between Ijaw and Okrika? Do they speak the same language?

rasbaby: I don't know what to say, but one thing I know is that the issue of salary arrears is a nationwide and even worldwide issue. One just need to plan to be established after working for a period of time.

homesteady: LOL! If someone accuses Buhari of the same thing, will you believe him?

omerta: You are unpatriotic!

Bro, I know. Since admin and his group of TAN accused us of supporting and celebrating BH's attacks, what choice do we have?

omerta: While it is safe to assume the military controls Bama, posting fake pictures, or better still, re-circulating pictures would only suceed in creating doubts!

homesteady: LOL!
The difference between the two accusations are -
Buhari's accusation is a personal experience which affected his family
While GEJ'S accusation was started by Sahara reporters!
I'm not holding briefs for GEJ so I have no obligation to defend him here! That can be done by the PDP guys!

yungboss: you are right sir.

yungboss: Slyboggie,
I don't know where you live but close to eliozu junction, towards Rumuodomaya axis from that roundabout,there's a Mercedes shop about 500m from the roundabout, they repair high end Mercedes cars (forgotten the name). I visited there in the days I had one...it's located along the road...

MightyThor: This is a refreshing change from your pre-nairaland crash of using insults. kudos.
As per Bama i believe the fight is ongoing and yes i believe that the insurgents did take over maybe initially.
My reason are.
1. Given the huge media coverage of the episode the military would have promptly refuted claims especially those made by the senator, to restore civilian confidence in the military and save face. (or the military is play possum to lure the bandits into a false sense of security)
2. There was a report of an air-force jet bombing the barracks to prevent the insurgents taking the armory, that indicates that the barracks was overrun or about to be overrun. (bomb it was a good tactical maneuver by the way, b4 those boko guys get more hardware which i believe may have been part of their overall operational goal.)
3. Maiduguri is still filled with refugees who refuse to go back to Bama and gave a horrid account of the proceedings and the picture they painted was not pretty for the army.

However i believe the army will take over those locations back cos i don't think the bandits can hold these town for long. they will surly retreat if heavily attacked else they are wiped off completely. beside they will need to establish a visible resupply route to bama to be able to hold those points and the organizational, logistics and funding required will be huge and apparent for a competent special army unit or SSS to trace and discover their source.

uzokingn: my brother I agree with u . they would ve shown the world their videos . To me the media is giving them cheap publicity. thank God the rate of bombing in our country have reduced.

texaco1: yes they will protect maiduguri and I am sure boko haram can't take over maiduguri . The bama issue is a big embarrassment to the military and I know they will want to do everything to make sure bh doesn't pass that line .

texaco1: I think we should just assume that the battle for bama is still ongoing

tokunboh: The simple truth is Tinubu owns The Nation and you know he who pays the piper, calls the tune.

So since u claim Tinubu owns it, does it also mean that the daily can't state the truth as it is also? If u don't think so, what can u say about Thisday, vanguard, sun etc govt aligned papers?


The Bama battle is an intermittent one, Boko Haram is not in control of the town as Senator Zannah, Babangida's right hand man would want us believe.


The only intermittent battle is the aerial bombardment and nothing more. Zannah, IBB (jonaadaft father) are in pdp. Infact bringing IBB to this discuss is inconsequential. The senator surely has more men on ground being a senator from the place.


The journalists with Senator Zannah can make their way to Bama on their own to see the true picture of things instead of them reporting trash from the comfort of their sofa.

No journalists is with the senator instead govt have her own journalists who have so far refused to investigate.
The only trash is from the govt that claimed is currently in control and can't showcase these towns on nta.

The NA that is on ground in Bama has given us the real picture of things saying they are still in the process of making sure that no Boko Haram is lurking around Bama and its outskirts. The onus of proof lies on Boko Haram's mouthpiece - I mean Sahara Reporters, Punch, The Nation, BBC and the numerous Boko Haram sympathizers on Nairaland.

Have u wondered why the press releases from na as regards their being in charge of Bama is either from maiduguri or abuja itself. The NA claim they are in charge and yet 5 days and counting they have not deemed it fit to invite journalists to the safe towns where they are in charge?
None of these ones needs to prove anything but the govt who have been known to lie several times to substantiate their claims of victory in Bama. This they haven't done and can't do for now because they truly aren't in control like they claimed.

tokunboh: Boko Haram never took control of Bama as The Nation would want us to believe. The battle of Bama is an ongoing war. Just wondering why they are not reporting on Gwoza where the insurgents are being chased away en masse. I don't expect a Tinubu owned tabloid to report on the Bama siege in a way that will paint the Government and Nigerian Army in good light. Shame on them, Boko Haram members are being killed in their thousands in the outskirts of Bama and Gwoza.
