From being one of the crackiest ,most courageous and result oriented troops to the present pitiable state.From an army capable if rubbing shoulders with the best in the world to a tool for election rigging , oil bunkering etc.
They were so badass that special punishments were usually reserved for Nigerian soldiers when they were captured wherever they were operating.
1)In Seirra leone , the army landed at Freetown airport at dawn in a number of Hercules C130 aircraft,took control of the airport and started fanning out into strategic positions in the city ;starting from the approaches to the airport.They battled street by street until the drove out the rebels out of Freetown.
In Somalia ,a platoon of Nigeria soldiers single handedly held and fought to the last man against a massive column of insurgents while the Europeans troop nearby ran away and left them to their fate.
In Liberia , Nigeria troops landed right into the middle of a senseless war with no clear friend or foe and fought block by block, city by city ,swamp by swamp ,jungle by jujngle.
Many lost their lives in the process . While the usual corruption was there ,but these men fought and fought hard.

What exactly has changed that they are unable to fight a group of terrorists who attack military bases in numbers (which means that conventional military methods can be used to destroy them )?

I have just wasted 1 minute of my life reading this rubbish .
What kind of army was that?
The villagers were hiding weapons for the terrorist and the terrorist collected their weapons from the villagers,simply walked to the gates of the military base and started shooting while their jet bombers attacked the army.
So the military decided to teach the villagers a lesson by not shooting back and they called a taxi to take them to maiduguri.thereafter ,The terrorist decided to kill the villager who were hiding their weapons on their behalf .

The owners of nairaland need to build a rubbish section for posts like these.
Is it not the same ragtag terrorist group we see on YouTube ,armed with only RPG's ,AK 47 and a few truck mounted guns that you are talking about vs an indiscipline Nigeria army who cannot do simple thing like fortifying their bases ,putting eyes on every approach to their bases ,watch towers , anticipating the likely direction of attack and preparing towards such eventuality.

There are no takers for this nonsense.
The only reason why the sore is festering is because the army is corrupt and badly commanded.right from the commander in chief downwards.from the recruitment process to postings.

Every other reason is secondary.
Are we not talking about the same Nigerian army of the 1990s from which emerged a platoon of courageous soldiers who single handedly held Somali terrorist while the European soldiers (French,Italian and Belgians) ran away .

By the way,
Write me a letter when they get to Sambisa .

IGBOSON1: ^^^Can you refer me to where Ndigbo have threatened war on others! Don't confuse the determination to protect oneself and his rights with the beating of war drums!

You have not been paying attention.
Mocking other people's religion,
Interfering with local politics ,
Interfering with royal traditions.

GiggsTk: Nigeria!!! I hate when we name money then add dollars to it just to confuse people. 1billion dollar is just bout 164 billion naira and a whole nigeria wil be borrown dat chicken change dat I bet some individuals in dis country might av.

Well
A billion dollars is enough to add 1500 MW to your rubbish 4000 MW electricity sector .
The lekki bridge was built with only 20 billion naira .that is 8 Lekki bridges.
1 billion dollars is not only.
It is the entire budget do some countries.
One billion dollars used to be the entire budget of Nigeria of nigeria a few years ago.

Who wants to be associated with a typical, nigerian certificate waving dullard.
The mumu ran away from a debate.
They are incapable of any intellectual debate and thoughts.
The onus is on us to take the message to the street.
Get off the web and take the fight to the street.
Call your folks anywhere they may be.talk to the conductors,the carpenters ,the tailors , farmers ,the engineers etc
tell them about how they have been trying to engineer a religious war in the SW.
Get them to hold fire until a time when we can get the odua national space to sort our issues out .
No to PDP ,No to afeniferawon.

tit: War!
War!
Until that day
The Nigerian continent
Will not know peace.
There is a war
War in the north
War down south
War
War

Believe me when I say that there will be no war in odua states and allied territories.
We will simply ask all foreigner to leave or force them out, then fence them out .
Let them go and fight their own wars in bayelsa ,uyo, Aba ,kaduna, Kano ,Zaria or Abuja.
We fight ours.

To do what?
To Commission the Lagos -Ibadan 15minutes interconnected city high-speed rail project or the "home to cabinet" /"cabinet to home " 200 meg fibre optic internet network?
Or better still ,to handover all powers/western region government assets back to the SW?
Who cares if he is in Lagos .
He is useless to us.
Oku eniyan .

The people beating the drums of war are the
North,South east and south south.
Ask yourself,
Why should odua states fight a war when we can simply close our borders and build fences to keep the barbarians out.

DOA
dead on arrival

Assuming there are no conflict of which,there will be a few flash points ,no one would notice.

Just passing.
But you can bow down and worship this flag while you battle the SE and SS for the corpse of one Nigeria .

Hahahahahahaha

Does gbajamila think that he is talking to normal human beings?
He should remove it from the 2.5 billion dollars contingency funds factored into the national budget but not appropriated for anything.
Your guess is as good as mine,
Even that one has already disappeared .

This is why I can stand this guyman once in a while.
At least ,he sometimes goes off that Jesus blunt he smokes/sells and tell the truth.
It is inevitable.
Odua states is coming.
So you can continue blabbing about "ONE NIGERIA" or get on the moving train for
A NATION WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
By the way ,How many omoluabis celebrated the yoruba new year.
3RD OF JUNE EVERY YEAR .
Start getting used to that day because it going to be an holiday in odua states.
Happy new year Citizens

Another boko group in the making.
There are many fundamentalist groups like this in the north.
Nigeria is about to crash soon.

When Fashola wanted to act by destroying slums like makoko ,they called him names.they said that he wasn't fair to the poor,he is elitist etc.
Only in Nigeria would making a place liveable be considered elitist .
All those shacks,room me I room you ,kiss me I kiss you buss rides are coming home to roost.
I hope you people realise what is about to hit you.
The bad effects of instant gratification.
Eat today in order to lose tomorrow.

Citizenship ,indigenship
The only thing that matter is :

1I am proudly yoruba
2 I am an omoluabi .
3 I detest crime .
4I detest disorder
5 I detest what the two fraudulent religion have done in/to my homeland
6 odua states in the only place I care about.
7 I will be stand up to be counted to preserve our culture,values ,homeland and way of life.

That conference was the conference of Ahmadu bello 's descendants and their southern minions.
Those whose very existence depend on feeding on their own people and other people .

...

It does nt matter the number of times you Jonathan's internet troll try to discredit the ACN Governors by printing their faces on bags of rice, it is not going to work.
The line has been drawn in ekiti.
Idiotz

How much is his salary that he can afford to pay overseas tuition?
Corrupt idiotz

.

huptin: when i come to Nairaland, and i hear some tribal bigots spew rubbish, i get seriuosly surprised. The Igbo people i work with and stay with are peace loving and easy going people. They are not violent and disgruntled as being portrayed by e-warriors and online rabble rousers.

Well the northerners I went to school/work with with are peaceful and easy going.
Everybody have the good and friendly other.
Every racist has a black friend.

The 200 snipers/assassins obj mentioned have finish their theory and are now doing their practicals.
Time to desert the sinking ship.

While other countries are investing in the future by learning the new sciences and technologies .
These "wannabe Arabs ,with the outcome of their over-conservative nature (boko haram),keep squandering the free undeserved money they are getting(fraudulent census) .
Would the money not have been better spent on cattle ranching and animal feed greenhousing .these are something more relevant to the living.
Why can't they be liberal like the Lebanese,Syrians,Senegalese or Malian ?

Apart from the sentiments, this is well written.
The writer is simply saying that jonathan has no leadership skills and neither was he prepared for it.

Oil oil oil.
The earlier that thing disappears, the better

Bastardz.
These animal terrorists should be caught and strung from a lamp post.
What kind of God are these animals worshipping?
We want out of that useless country.
Our forefathers left middle Egypt because of these two bloodsucking religions.
Different waves of oduans undertook the journey to escape these medieval hordes .
Out ,out ,out out
Odua states today,now.

hungry for change?
Or just hungry.
Change to what?
Fayose is not change.
More like Not ready for change

The woman is definitely presidential material.

Fashola should start putting Lagos indigens first and foremost in all things.
Nice one by the way.

The only load the power sector carries is the PDP load.
