These people are getting sophisticated daily.
Don’t be surprised seeing them launching a furious assault soon on strategic places in Nigeria. if we aren’t careful.
Quite sure someone in the Nigerian military intelligence is leaking some information to them

What baffles me is that, at this time and age, with all the resources we have, Nigeria can't even boast of one or at least two active surveillance and assault drone(s), that ought to be patrolling the region at least 10hrs daily, in a campaign like this drones are the best option, target, aim and destroy, undetected. It just goes to show that there are elements within the system, feeding fat from this mess.

De-weaponize the terrorists. Let them be unable to have anti-aircraft artillery. If they can do this, the military should begin a combined ruthless assault against the terrorists.
If it was that easy it would have been done already in the decade old insurgency.

Outdated fighter jets carrying unguided missiles, what else do you expect? Frankly any pilot flying such aircrafts is on a suicide mission. Even the so called Super Tukanos are no exception. B'Hari boys are gaining ground.
The tukanos are slower ohh.
Hope it wount be target practice sha.
Some of us spoke of su25s frogfoots from Russia considering the aircraft to be armored and better suited for ground attack.
There is nothing wrong in using unguided missiles. The US etc all use them. They are cheaper and you can saturate a wider area with fire. On the other hand guided missiles are way way expensive. 1 missile eg helfire could cost over $50k. They are mainly used for priority targets, eg tanks, moving targets or buildings ie precision strikes.

How they managed to move into the country all these sophisticated weapons is still baffling. I pray Hausa fulani don't destroy this country las las. They're the terrorist, bandits, killer herders , militiamen, jihadists, armed militia, just name it. And some stupid fools say we shouldn't leave this union. On oduduwa we stand.

This is what happens when you are using F 7 in 2021. Shame on Obansanjo who cancel F I6 Jet fighters planes from Germany after coming into power. late Sani Abacha saw the need to upgrade our Air force but his Death stop everything. Nigeria should call in Russian Air force for help against these criminals.
This is 2021 Nigg**. You are here blaming someone that left office in 2007. What stops those after him from upgrading the Jets?

The thing is, the Hausa-Fulanis in power and military Cadre are benefiting hugely from the Boko Haram war and don't ever want it to end.



They know what to do.


There are so many moles in Nigerian Army today. In fact, most Hausa-Fulanis and Bororo military officers in Nigerian Army are Boko Haram informants leaking classified military information to these ragtag terrorists.


If not tell me how Boko Haram always know their movement to lay ambush and kill their bravest soldiers always


Nigerian Army now is filled with Boko Haram, I pity they Christian soldiers from the Southern region angry




It is getting clearer and clearer. Plus those mercenaries from neighboring places.


Another strategy they can employ is shuffling people around, don't let the same units be in one
Spot for 1 month straight. Moving them weekly will be better, like a unit of 100, have 10 come back the next week and spread the rest around other areas, then keep doing it. There should be no comfort of location.

Common to condemn hisba and sharia law, our number 1 no gree. Fear dey catch am.

You don't condemn those but you want us to be condemning esn, amotekun, or whoever.


God should please give us a wise and unapologetic Nigerian leader.

Keep calling OBJ that left power several years ago instead of asking the man in Aso Rock what he has done since 6 years.

A couple of the Turkish bayraktar drones that Azerbaijan used to defeat Armenia in their recent war and BH will be history in less than 3 months. I doubt if they really want this war to end.

Imagine blaming someone who left power over 15 years ago.... isn't that a sign of failure and incompetence? so if the Obasanjo canceled something, is there no alternative for the current administration? All in a bid not to blame Buhari.

What a way to die. Thought the alpha jet is supersonic, how is it possible that an anti-aircraft gun can shoot a supersonic jet out the sky?

I asked myself the same question! How can an ordinary AA gun not guided missile oh, take out a fighter jet? A whole smart ass fighter jet, not chopper or gunship! It means one of these is the culprit:

1. The pilots were incompetent amateurs or
2. The jet was flying too low which still leads us to number 1 point about the competence of the pilots or
3. The aircraft was faulty or developed a fault mid operation. But if that happened, the aircraft would have radioed their base not just disappear off radar! Or
4. Boko haram have somehow managed to acquire a surface to air guided missile weaponry and if this is the case then it's game over! But I highly doubt they have the clout to pull this off.

The competence of the pilots is what this seems to point at. Goes to show the "quality" of operatives we have handling the war against terror in the NE.

Modified: unfortunately, number 4 seems to be the culprit! RIP to those pilots. Southern Nigeria, it's time we left the north alone in their battle of the bastards!

Oh no but why was it flying so low hmmm or maybe the signal was jammed and that made the jet lose military signal and hence swayed dangerously into enemy territory at a low altitude
The death of those chaps really touched me, seing the blown jet image in sky almost got me to tears.
