So the Fashola 78million website scandal was not done brazenly?

It was budgeted. What Fashola did was morally wrong but not legally wrong. I never supported him on it.

Niceiroko:
If u go by that,that means GEJ won the war,because it his time it became cool n nothing more

Escuse me? Where were you when Jonathan went dancing 24hrs after a Boko Haram bomblast? Where were you when Jonathan told us Boko Haram have infiltrated his government but refused to lift a single finger to bring them to justice? Where were you when it took a bold young lady to direct the useless President to move an inch before he could be brave enough to address the chibok's issue? Where were you when it took Jonathan six weeks before election before he seriously take the issue of Boko Haram seriously all because of his hatred for the northerners.

During Jonathan's administration Boko Haram were taking over territories. We now know why. Jonathan and his co thieves were looting billion of dollars that were budgeted to fight the scourge.

Decibel:
Have you worked in civil service before? If so you should have known that public servants loot the public funds entrusted to them through inflated contracts and procurement of inferior items. # Fact

It's must not be done brazenly. It must not have presidential backing the way it was under Jonathan who came out to tell us stealing is not corruption. Corruption under Jonathan has the Presidential seal.

Timoleon:
be objective...if u were, u'd undastabd dat i do believe in buhari, i voted for him...however, if he addresses the bokoharam fight in d same manner jonathan did, expect the same results in thd long run. hence, "make e no fall my hand..."

He will never....... Be rest assured. He will not allowed money budgeted to fight Boko Haram to be shared by his cronies.

Icecomrade:
Which category of lai mohammed statement will you place BH incurssion into maiduguri yesterday?

That's attacking of soft targets. It's not called incursions because the NA are on top of it. I'll called it hit and run operation.

Army Chief, Buratai’s Hometown Under Boko Haram Attack

http://www.theheraldng.com/army-chief-buratais-hometown-under-boko-haram-attack/#hDXgjm6820UPIOu3.99

It was a hit and run operation. Obviously the President also admitted to it.

Please I'll advise you to read my post again.

Timoleon:

Really? this govt wan fall my hand o....Jonathan's administration said the same thing we kicked him out. Hence, Buhari n co, we expect u do things differently so we can get a different result. Nigerians deserve to live till their oldage and die of natural causes. not this senseless, inhumane way of exiting.

Rip to the dead and condolences to the bereaved.

It's an insult to compare Jonathan’s administration to Buhari's administration. One condone corruption the other don't. One purposely allowed Boko Haram to fester the other is trying to kill the fire.

“The have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack.”

Mohammed, however, said that though there were still cases of suicide bombings, it was pertinent to note that such was the nature if insurgency globally.

“Unlike a war between two armies, an insurgency never ends with arms victory

“Even in countries like Colombia where insurgency was supposed to have ended decades ago, attacks like this still happen.”

He said that the insurgents had adopted a new style of attacking soft targets like motor parks, schools, entertainment centres, religious centres, killing innocent people mostly women and children.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to support the military in the fight against terrorism in the country, saying that the military had availed itself creditably

This is Lai's statement. Why are Jonathan's children lying against Lai?

glossy6:
Pls educate us on what he has done so far

When last did you hear Boko Haram taking over territories? When did you hear Boko Haram attacked army's Barrack? When last did you watched video released by Boko Haram bragging about their conquest? When did you read that our army retreated in the face of gun battle?

Obviously the President is doing something right.

Obvio

erico2k2:
Since we all know how bad the last FG is .why is the new FG reminding us? dosnt he have his own blue print to hit the ground running? Did he think it was biz as usual??

He who forget his past will never progress. He has to continually remind us to understand the long journey to restoration. He has to remind us in order to appreciate what he has done so far. He has to remind those Jonathan’s fans who are expecting magic from a government who took over a battered economy caused by their hero.

ehissi:
That is utter rubbish! Do a proper research on all the attacks that have been taking place since the time of Jonathan; its the same thing; na ignorance dey worry Nigerians!!

All the Major attacks done by Boko Haram and criticised by the then opposition APC has always been on Lai Mohammed's alleged soft targets!!

You sef use your brain; you go to the market to buy fish, only for a Military convoy, in broad day light, to raid the market, the only problem is that the Military convoy is Boko haram! That is what Lai Mohammed is calling a soft target; brazen broad day light attacks in public places, suicide bomb blasts in public places and the bagger lizard is saying new tactics!!

The 2013 Twin bomb blasts that took place at Terminus market road, by Railway line, right opposite Jos University teaching Hospital, and in front of Mr Biggs on ahmadu bello way was that new?? The Viewing Centre in Town - I believe it was anguwan Rogo - that was bombed at 9pm during a European League match, was that new!!??

What of the bauchi road bombings, not too far from Univeristy of Jos, that took place less than 6weeks after Buhari took over; was that new too??

Even the much famed chibok girls abduction, was it not achieved after an attack on a school?? Stop talking out of sentiments or a pathological obsession for a political structure/party of Career politicians who have nothing good to offer for now & are stalling for time!!

What of the last abduction of 107 kids by Boko Haram that they have kept outside the radar of the media; and have used the Dasukigate scandal to armtwist the media to be silent about it and not do follow-up stories on their rescue and the families of the abductees?? Is that new too, or is it because they haven't come for your family yet, that's why you are cool with crap that Lai Mohammed is spewing ba??


How much ground did Jonathan lose as at when he handed over? Wasn't it widely reported in the media that Buhari lost much ground within his first 3 months in office; a report that forced his hand to change service chiefs not too long after, when attacks by Boko Haram became more brazen!

Much of the most embarrassing attacks of Boko haram in the time of Jonathan's administration took place under the cover of dark; but Buhari's tenure na Korokoro daytime!

In case you don't know, Lai Mohammed is both Minister of Information and APC PRO, so he is naturally gifted in talking from both sides of his mouth!!

I personally know folks and friends whose cousins/relatives where among the chibok girls, I know folks who have lost families and relatives to Boko Haram attacks; who make calls everyday to find out what's going on in the villages, from maiduguri to fica, so don't just sit down there and cross leg on top of promo data and talk unguardedly about stuff you have no knowledge about!!

Escuse me? Where were you when Jonathan went dancing 24hrs after a Boko Haram bomblast? Where were you when Jonathan told us Boko Haram have infiltrated his government but refused to lift a single finger to bring them to justice?

Jonathan will not have peace in this life or after life.

A quote from the Original post!!
“They have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack.”


Meaning these 2 attacks by Boko Haram fall under the "Unspectacular ba? Who dey do follow follow?? Me or you??

Obviously you missed this part.
He said that the insurgents had adopted a new style of attacking soft targets like motor parks, schools, entertainment centres, religious centres, killing innocent people mostly women and children

This followed Wednesday destruction of 48 (50 X50) underground storage reservoirs, several thousand drums, 8,000 metric tons of crude oil and 200 metric tons of refined Automotive Ga soline Oil (Diesel) in Warri South and Warri South West Local Government Areas of Delta State, in its bid to end illegal oil bunkering in the area

Kudos to the Nigeria navy. Hopefully this will be sustain.

The government at that time sent the soldiers to the battlefield without arms and ammunition to prosecute the war. That was what led some of them to mutiny. They were arrested and detained because of this.”
Despite the December deadline he had earlier given the military to end terrorism in the affected part of the country, Buhari admitted that the country might not win the war completely by the end of the month.
He however said a lot of progress had been made by the military.

He said the terrorists themselves were aware that they could no longer take over communities and local governments like they were doing under the past administration.
“If people are going to be fair to us, they themselves know that the Army is winning the war. You can no longer find any huge number of Boko Haram members in Adamawa and Yobe; only may be, in about three local governments of Borno in the area around our borders with Chad Republic. They are no longer in position to threaten the country, so we have won,” he added

We all witness the carnage caused by the past administration.

So if you're among those praising all the wrongdoing of Jonathan's era and have the guts to criticise the President for trying to right the wrong of the past administration then you are all shameless.

At least 14 people were killed and several others injured by Boko Haram gunmen in a Christmas Day attack on a village in northeastern Nigeria, vigilantes said Saturday.
Attacking astride bicycles, the jihadists invaded Kimba village in flashpoint Borno state around 10:00 pm on Friday, opening fire on residents and torching their homes.

“Not a single house was spared in the arson,” another vigilante, Musa Suleiman, said after visiting the razed village.
Hundreds of Kimba residents fled to Biu nearby, where they were put up in a refugee camp already brimming with people running from Boko Haram.
The attack comes just days before Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s self-imposed deadline to stamp out the group expires on December 31 and in the same week he said that Nigeria has “technically” defeated the jihadists.
Buhari took office in May vowing to end the six-year insurgency that has killed over 17,000 people and spooked much-needed investors in Africa’s largest economy and foremost oil producer.
Nigerian troops have won back territory from Boko Haram, but in response the jihadists have increasingly resorted to suicide bombers — many of them young children — to wage war for an independent Islamic state.
The militants have damaged what little infrastructure existed in the country’s underdeveloped north at a time when the government is facing a cash crunch as a result of the free-falling oil price.
According to the Global Terrorism Index, a report released by the New York-based Institute for Economics and Peace, it “has become the most deadly terrorist group in the world”.
The UN children’s agency said this week that over one million Nigerian schoolchildren have been kept out of school because of the conflict, warning that the lack of education will fuel radicalisation in and around Nigeria.
The jihadists have allied themselves with the Islamic State group, but experts doubt the scale and scope of the collaboration.
Still, there are growing fears that a once localised hardline Muslim movement is morphing into a regional jihadist threat as Boko Haram launches attacks on Nigeria’s neighbours Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

What of this attack: are they denying that this attack never took place?? Are these people not Nigerians? Are they a soft target as well? No one family was spared in this attack; are the blood of these people slain in this attack not proof that Lai Mohammed is a man who conscience is led only by his political interest??

Let Real Nigerians, who are not members of the Change Agent Media crew, who have not soiled their hands with APC campaign funds, let them be the Judge!!

Mr Man, read the original post from beginning to the end and stop your follow follow.

“They have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack.”

Mohammed, however, said that though there were still cases of suicide bombings, it was pertinent to note that such was the nature if insurgency globally.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians to support the military in the fight against terrorism in the country, saying that the military had availed itself creditably

I'm still trying to understand the accusation against Lai. Obviously he clearly qualified his statement with the above bolded words.

vedaxcool:
Avoid quoting the dullard his the dumbest in the wailers horde. Intelligence remain key in defeating bh. Now it seems if the news checks out, bh is using isis type of attack Like the one in paris and the us were they open fire on innocent bystanders. There's need for a strategy shift.

It's of course. But our intelligence gathering is poo, we can only urge the President improve our ability to do that speedily.

Descartes:
You post reeks of hypocrisy and puts you in the same line of thought of a perennial sycophant.

A stove calling kettle black. For the record my post reeks everywhere with patriotism.

Descartes:
If you are an intelligence officer, you should have have some clue on where and how these ragtags/ miscreants operate. Another targeted place for these insurgents might be at traffic jams(Hold ups). These intelligence agencies should be thinking ahead of them or are they trying to justify T.Y Danjuma claim that Bokoharam has more Intel than DSS and DMI?

Danjuma should know better than you. Everyone knows our intelligence gathering is nothing to write home about but expecting a new government to change that in a twinkle of an eye shows you're irrational. Expecting magic from a battered intelligence agencies shows how badly you want to blame this government .

Descartes:
This is getting serious.

This is the reason why I always say that DSS and DMI are poos of agencies in this zoological Republic. They should have known that this very attack on the Citizens queuing to buy fuel is very predictable.
Smh

Have this kind of attack happened before? So what's predictable about it?

The media houses are not fools. They knew where we are today was caused by an incompetent President. They know it will be foolhardy to blame a new government for the rot caused by the past government. They could see the sincerity, honesty, determination, effort and zeal put by the current government to combat the issue.

I believe mynd44's job have been made easier by the Aprokos who are already on this thread.

my belle o! Seun, oya e but it won't stop me from saying kudos.

You're now acting your age....... Acting responsibly........ Acting as a patriotic citizen.

Mr. Melaye’s wife, Tokunbo, took to Twitter and accused him of lying.

"You have a Masters degree in lying, but I have a PHD in detecting bullsh*t!” she wrote, among others.

She also told her husband, "Trust is like paper…Once it’s crumpled, it can’t be perfect again. There's a limit to what one can take, if you keep piling load on the camels back, there comes a point that back will surely break!”

And then she advised Mr. Melaye, “Never lie to the girl of your life, for the girl of the night.”

I love this woman.

It's not a must you must open a thread. Is the opposition in charge of the government? Is Buhari in charge of the army? Is the northern elite in charge of the funds that will be used to prosecute the war against Boko Haram?

Please stop spamming this section with foolish excuses for the failure of Jonathan's government. Thanks.

Kudos to everyone who is giving us an update.

A wise king.

The Nigeria Army should please get their act together. If truly our men were killed in the line of duty, there's no shame in it rather it's heroic but lying about it is a disservice to our men and this Nation.

Heheehe! Fayose the one and only thug we have as a Governor have the gut to call someone else a tout and not just anyone but the distinguish, refine, intelligent and the best publicity secretary this country have ever produce. He is a joker.
