Giving details of what transpired, the source said, the terrorists encircled the troops from all angles of Vimtim as the troops concentrated in the city centre and a gun battle ensued. Unknown to them, the newly deployed soldiers arrived and joined the battle, taking on the terrorists from behind leading to killing of over 40 insurgents while others fled.

Looks like someone has started using their brains. War is about strategy, it is brain-work not all brawn. War no be Rambo. Goodone, well done boys, we hope to see grey-matter deployed in future.

IBB i hope they have started ironing your uniform!

Ojukwu ke what of yaradua the list never complete oh

come to think of it, has Oshiomhole done anything in his 2nd term!! just wondering. Apart from Akpabio all other Governors doing a 2nd term have failed woefully.

Mention one country doing such?

Do you have to do things other country do. Moreover other countries do it in a more salient way. The reason they do not do it publicly is because they are not as corrupt as Nigeria. What do you think the Black-Water Security outfit is doing in Iraq In Nigeria, such thing cannot be done under-G because of corruption hence why I am advocating a more open appointment.

To show they have really survived, Fashola and his Commissioner for health should invite survivors for dinner in their houses. The dinner would be a photo-shoot session, where some journalist would also be invited to the dinner to alley the fear people might have towards ebola survivors, otherwise " people go still dey shun ebola survivor. "

And we are still losing towns to the insurgents, haba!! corruption don kill us finish!

The way propaganda and counter-propaganda is going on both sides is rather bizarre especially from the Army/Govt spokesman, I am not really keen about BH's propaganda,(they live for-it & they breed in it) the government's position is a bit worrying . Eight days after the fall of Bama no pictures to confirm or refrain that the Town is under Government control.

I think the position of a WAR CZAR, appointed and paid in dollars $$ should be created. He would manage our resources, that is our capabilities, Army, Air-force and Navy in a proficient way, eliminating any WASTAGE, UN-productiveness, and Idleness.

He or she would not usurp the Joint Chief of staff, the Army Chief, Naval Chief or Air-Force Chief, but rather would compliment their efforts. An experienced foreign General or better still a retired Nigerian General would fit the bill, but his/her post would be a result orientated job whereby if the expected results are not going to plan he/she would just have to go, like football managers whose team are performing poorly.

I think such a manager would be in good taste, although there is the possibility of conflicts with the other military chiefs, US being human, one cannot rule out such rivalry, but his job description primarily would be tied to the theater of war. He would have no role to play in Abuja or in any of the different Command structure dotted all over the country.

He would be based at Maiduguri. Part of his job description would be to procure military hardware to get the job done through an open tender method, which would be transparent thereby reducing and cutting out any form of corruption with regards to procurement. He would also be allowed to hire military hardware in the short-run or even hire mercenaries if need be. This is necessary because the role as earlier said is a result orientated role hence why some innovation and interestingly some un-orthodoxy would be allowed within the ambiance of the law.

Just a thought.

Mr KnowAll, is military strategist, holds a Ph.d in Conflict Management and runs a consultant of experts in this field. He has being involved in all modern flash point all over d world.........

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry 4 yourself. It is only bloody civilians those boys scout can harass, now they are confronted with d real deal they scamper removing their uniforms. I beg someone must make men of those boys in khaki by given them d necessary.

Abi l lie?

One thing soldier boy fit do well-well na to smoke igbo. But with d wildspread cowardice, mutiny and AWOL(absence with out leave) recorded amongst d rank & file of our soldiers it started to make me to wonder if these boys they smoke at all. All these political correctness has made our boys to become sisi and girls guide haba!

I beg make dem give d boys some small "taffi" make dem see road clearly oh.

All these fear-fear na wah, they should d necessery as quickly as possible.

Maybe this suggestion would rekindle d bravery we all know our armed forces are for.

Just my little suggestion.

The militants reportedly retreated to the Nigerian
border town of Gamboru Ngala, which is under
their control for over a week.

Shame on Nigeria, The Cameroonians would not let an inch of their land fall to these basta-rds yet in Nigeria these lunatics are the lord of the land. Even our soldiers are removing their uniforms and running away from them. Na Wah oh. which kind shame be this!!!

Chad are good in the Sahel, in fact they are the kings of the Sahel. Do you know they defeated Gaddaffi's Libya, with all Gaddafi's weaponery and whats not, Chad gave them a serious 'hiding'(hiding means when you smack a little boy in their buttocks) . The South Africans have good air capabilities, Jonathan should go and Visit Zuma and have a one to one with him. One good turn deserves another. We helped them fight the shackles of aparthied so they should do a brethren a favour, Nigeria should come off her high horse and be sensible. Our Armed Forces at this point in time is seriously compromised thereby making the prospect of winning this insurgency a daunting uphill task.

With the Chads in Place, the Cameroonians securing their own border area, plus the few brave ones still in the Nigeria Armed forces we should be able to turn this tide of losing town after town and villages after villages.

It is better we beg our Africa brothers for asistance than to beg oyinbo!!!

What do you guys think.

State of d Nation - Dying Nation

it is an old picture, it happened in May 2014. Still waiting for the NA' s picture on Bama.

Lies!!!!!

A depleted BH who has just loss 1200 men takes over another town. DHQ should stop spinnig falsehood. Nigerians believe anything. Now GEJ is in control of 35 states while one state belongs to BH republic. This peopl3 no get shame.

Does it have anti-flare otherwise it would be an expensive sitting duck in d air for anti-craft guns.

Siriublack u are fake. Show us pictures of 1200 Bh that DHQ claimed to have killed. And if it is even true, How come a depleted BH that has just suffered d loss of 1200 men could muster more men and overun another town in adamawa state while still holding to bama, gwoza and other towns in borno state.

This sirus black could be fake for all we care. I thought he said he would not comment or post with regards to this topic anymore, only 4 him to make a U turn. Obviously someone in DHQ see d need 4 someone like siriublack to help them perpetuate their falsehood and tales of moonlight.

They told us they have killed 1200 BH, yet d same depleted BH overan another town in Adamawa state while still holding to Bama, Gwoza and other towns in Borno State.

AS FAR as I am concerned this siriusblack guy is a disciple of falsehood until proven wrong.

What is happening in NE are d effect of corruption. Tell our top soldier go & buy 5 kalashinkov, they buy 1 pocket d money for 4. The result is d humilation tht is happening in d NE.

It is strange why are d houses of senate and reps not summoring d commanders and asking them pertinent questions?

Nigeria would be left with 35 capitals. If Miaduguri falls then d Govenor would have no home. It means d whole Borno State falls.

[size=16pt]They should allow them to carry weapon. That is the trend all over the world. When ISIS where very close to taken Bagdad, the shia muslim tooks arms in their thousands to defend Bagdad, every Kanuri should be enpowered to take up arms to defend Maiduguri, the Kanuri Capital.[/size]

Give the youths guns to fight. it is their towns and villages. They would fight to the last man if weapons are handed over to them.

Eyes in d sky is wonderful. We should henceforth in Nigeria be investing in very good eyes in d sky. The only problem in a place Naija, when a rogue airforce officer turns his gun to d state house na there wahala go broke. I can see why IBB stop buying fighter jets and helicopters and Abacha, OBJ all follow suit.

Staged manage-Publicity stunt.

I can bet my life all 4 are not his wives, they are show girls that would be paid handsomely when they get to Naija. The essence for this trip is to revive d aura, prestige and reverence behind d throne of d Alaafin of Oyo. Nothing more.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I agree with u 100%

France is our best bet in d short run. Clear d riff-raffs in those towns captured through air support. While Naija troops do d mop up.

But then jonathan should give France a mouth watering contract in our infrasture stake.
