JOHESU entered one chance motor.

jazzy4naija:
On the morning of 25th November 2014 Soldiers were ordered to advance to Bazza a village close to Michika local govt of Adamawa state. The soldiers obeyed this order like they were expected to. This advance was carried out without any support weapon but based on the initial assurance that boko haram terrorist group has been dislodged by artillery fire and air bombardment the soldiers were told to just go and occupy the ground.
  The bridge linking Michika and other parts of Adamawa was earlier destroyed so as to prevent the insurgence from capturing other towns most especially Mubi the home town of the CDS. About a week prior to the advance, 23 SER Jos was tasked to construct a combat bridge against the advice of officers and soldiers in the operation who argued that they lack the equipment to protect the people and towns that was the reason why the bridge was destroyed in the first place. But the then Brigade Commander Colonel Victor Ebaleme refused to listen to anyone and advised the GOC 3 Division  to authorised the construction of a bridge which he did.
  When the soldiers got to Bazza (the town where Lieutenant Col Obasanjo was shot), the insurgents and soldiers exchanged fire and there was casualty on both sides. The soldiers had to withdraw when they were running out of ammunition because there was no plan to replenish them when they were send out.  Note it was the same day the combat bridge was to be finished. The soldiers withdrew to the foot of the bridge to await further instruction . Less than 2 hours after the completion of the bridge, the insurgent attacked and took over the bridge killing some of the engineer soldiers and soldiers of the so called Battalions that were earlier tasked to go and occupy Bazza.
  The soldiers regrouped as early as 0500hrs at Askira/Uba for the purpose of going to recapture the bridge but by then the BHT had already crossed with their equipment and were advancing to go and capture Askira/Uba and Mubi. The soldiers exchanged fire with them and based on the fact that they withdrew earlier for lack of ammunition from Bazza , the were still not replenish as at the time BHT attacked so it was only the APCs that were engaging them. When the APCs could no longer hold them, they withdrew to Pella Junction in Hong local Government.
All the commanding officers have been in detention ever since and the troops were withdrawn to Jos except Task Force Mike which was left in Yola to assist in the movement of combat supplies. But there is a signal that all soldiers involved in the operation should be dismissed and there are 5 battalions (213, 234,116 Task Force Mike and Army Headquarters Special forceas team A) . Though the soldiers have been released to go back to their units , this is a plan to decentralise them so that their units will dismiss them in smaller numbers to avoid anyone raising eye brow .The order is to be effected before the 10 January. There was no time this soldiers refuse to fight . They only withdraw when the come under superior fire power. Their numbers are not up to 5 battalions as required by ORBAT ,the equipment  provided to them is not up to what a company should have but the army wants to dismiss men who have served it in the best way the can. There was never a time the military had conducted an investigation on the conduct of this soldiers but they are fast to condemn them even for it failure. If u provide the battalions with the requirements to fight then you have every right to crucify them when they fail. Mubi is not the first town to be captured by the insurgence but because it is the home town of the CDS every resources was deployed to recapture it. The battalions deployed there are not the first to lose ground but they army is ready to sacrifice this number of soldiers and officers because of one man.

Thanks for this insight; instead of them to sack that man that gave wrong advice, they are sacking men who risked their lives to carry out a plan that could never succeed. Looks like its the Army loosing the battles not that Boko Haram is winning.

Nigerian soldiers are cowards! I don't have any pity for them! The should have been jailed for the offence!

Is it not the same soldiers that did wonders in Liberia? They are not cowards.

I didn't see the thread about the APC ward leader who was killed in Rivers State last week on the front page.

This is a season of politics.

hijaynation:
But anatomy need maths in jamb so he can go for both

Anatomy is a biological discipline and does not require Maths in JAMB. That is an error in JAMB codification and UNIPORT has requested they correct it.

It is well.

My mouth no fit shout, UNIQUE UNIPORT.

CurtixXx:
Good Evening Comrade, I heard some Freshers successfully carried out their medicals today I don't know if its True.

Just interacted with some year 1 students and they said the medical people told them to return back in February, cannot independently verify that. The Admissions people are still watching the situation for now.

Looks like medicals has really started with different days assigned to different faculties, have just confirmed that SCIENCE is on Tuesdays, COLLEGE is Wednesdays.

comrade otokx i hope this thing have nothing to do with those that have paid before now?

Please plan to pay the balance but first watch in case they change their minds which is pretty unlikely.

From Director, Accademic Affairs.

I wish someone can ask the Director where students are expected to stay while doing their registration as the hostels are currently full to the brim with current year 1 students.

Jeboyz:
How true is this?

The Uniqueness of UNIPORT

dexpee4life:
thanks for your response. The issue is that the person in question was forced to do Anatomy in basic but she really want to study an engineering course. Since she is doing the anatomy in her basic, can she fill in Petroleum engineering or chemical engineering in her jamb. Hope there wont be any future complications

Admission into Engineering in UNIPORT is very competitive. She should read hard, there will not be complications but basic cannot present her for admission into Anatomy when her JAMB combination is Engineering inclined.

DrLazDevitan:
No complications.Basic is for basic,and UTME is for UTME.But for you to gain admission into the degree programme you should have the minimum utme score.

Not really; your set is the last set where people will have double admission giving an option of choice.

onyxo76:
which one APC again? the robbers carry broom come rob for the bank?

Me sef wonder for some people brain

hushmail:
Na wao! she wan take style pass her job to Op

after we go blame INEC, but na all this adhoc staff the cause INEC problems


abeg there are many unemployed 9ja, INEC has no reason to be under staffed

That woman was an INEC staff. ADHOC staff perform better.

It is we in the South that are doing ourselves; imagine refusing to give a husband the wife voters card knowing the wife just gave birth or vice versa when the husband is doing rig work in the high seas.
