So many lives are being lost too. Buhari is just there convinced all is fine and dandy.

DubaiLandLord:
Nah wah o.

Any soldier that have spent more than 1 year in Borno and Yobe fighting the insurgents should be redeploy to a peaceful state.

JOSCOFELIX:
TO STOP THE OVERRUN OF MILITARY BASED THE NIGERIA ARMY MUST CHANGE THE OVERSTAY SOLIDER IN THE BATTLEFIELD. SUPERCAMP WILL BE A LIT BIT DISSOLVED

SamuelAnyawu:


None.
It was done to limit the casualties on Troops.
It would have been successful if we had a proper air surveillance to monitor movements of these AOGs.

Now it has given the AOGs freedom to move around major roads in Borno state. Infact there are some roads these AOGs put up their checkpoints with plastic seats.

Odunayaw:
Buhari?? I've even forgotten he exists.

However when you see our boys losing to the same trick by iswap again and again, it's not hard to give them the bigger share of the blame.

lol. that's a base? hahaha. that country no serious

Whyem15:


The military command knows what to do, they just don't care about the lives of the troops deployed. And the troops have also taking the cue and are no longer interested in fighting.

Whyem15:
This is how the "bases" being overrun looks like.
What defensive advantage does it provide? And when troops withdraw from these locations we call them cowards.

The gains of 2014\15 offensive and that of 2018 were all lost immediately the offensives stopped. During the offensives, the terrorists either move across the border to neighboring countries or temporarily return to civilian life only to organize themselves back once the offensive has lost its momentum. At some point in time. Gudzamala LGA was recaptured by the terrorists in 2018. Baga was also captured around that period. Unless the army can continue to be on offensive for years(the 7 division lacks the resources for this) or they are able and willing to man every cities, towns and villages, the terrorists will continue doing this.
Supercamp was designed to cut prevent the terrorists from having access to towns and cities for supplies and they've been largely successful and the terrorists haven't been able to expand since then, in fact, NA supercamps 15 and 18 are directly adjacent to their capital and they've never been able to overrun them. The only problem is that the army decided to switch to a full defensive mode. There should be constant aggressive patrols by highly mobile and protected unit from the supercamps to constantly harass the terrorists and keep degrading their capabilities. I have always advocated for the establishment of a mobile strike force to complement the Supercamp strategy. The 72 MSF should have expanded beyond what it was in 2014/15.
If at all they won't re-employ Barlow, they should at least make use of what they learnt from him while he was here.

Majority of the supercamps are also sited in South and Central Borno and Yobe states. There are only 6 in the northern parts of the state leaving many settlements open to attacks.

The recent increase in the frequency of attacks has been attributed to the NAF suspending air interdictions in favor of CAS which has given the terrorists enough space, time and resources to plan, launch and coordinate attacks.

JOSCOFELIX:
Good morning . i agree with you 100%. the military need to do some thing. after the south african mensenerie was operation was stop the men of the 72msf/ sf was sent back to their battalion based on the command of CDS and CAS 2016-2020. which gave the terrorist more hand in attacking local area and some environment from intel i have with me the CDS have order the movement of solider to some area. he said that the FOB should be brought back. the headquarter of gudzamla which is gudumabli have being occupy by men of the nigeria sf and some 72msf/sf team deployed of recent, before the deployment of the 72msf/sf they were involved in the shooting in battalion in borno trying to sent signal to their commander over some bad equipment. the headquarter of gudzmala have being occupied since two week ago . and FOB have being created in that area. but in as much the solider are fighting the military should strike back , the operation of doing offensives 1 mouth and returning to defensive mode should stop. i like what you said the military men are not coward see a base . no defense perimeter , no organised defense position see an open field and you expect the military men not to run, even the world best military will run at full speed , you take solider to ans open field and you call that a base and you expect the military to defensed the town and the base with guntruck and some equipemt when the enemies is coming in large number and sophistical equipment the military need to do something before this solider lost total interest in the war. the cds and cas have been a battlefield commander for long the should do something the moral of the solider is down.

demolition:

If that wasn't enough, ISWAP in Nigeria even collects and distributes Zakat, with photos aiming to show them as a group fully able to govern. Like I said earlier, ISWAP wants to fill the security vacuum in the areas with no government control and Zakat is a primary example of it.

In this regards, when you neglect the people so much. The enemy starts looking sexy.

ArabicBerber:


There is nothing unbelievable about this it's just standard insurgent warfare. Same thing in Sinai, southern Somalia, Pakistan, Sudan, Afganistan, and the middle east despite intervention from the worlds most powerful militaries for the past 3 dacades. Stop being a drama queen nothing special is going on here.

Xbee007:
The situation can still be salvaged with drones. Not the usual piecemeal 8. Order 20 if possible.

Some people are not ready to admit we're in serious mess.

20 that will end up in ISWAP'S hands baa?

DubaiLandLord:
Hmm

Most of our military officers and politicians are not also patriotic.

Nigerian army generals should be charge for treason for putting men in this kind of settlement and calls it a base

With the amount of sand wey dey there, dem no fit buy all this bags NATO forces dey use for the middle East and use it to form a barricade around the base, this is madness

demolition:


Probably stole the pistol for self defense, considering all what's been going on. and the cap as a means of blending in with the crowd.

Unfortunately his unwise colleagues are already brutalizing him instead of first investigating the issue like they are paid to do.

Very unprofessional organization

DubaiLandLord:
I can't believe this is a FOB in the North East, how will a soldier not on duty sleep comfortably in this kin place sef

jpphilips:


Which superior is aware of the plan? if all constables feed from exhibit room, what is the difference between a police force and a vigilante?
Nigeria is truly broken, majority have lost their ability to think.
