When something is taken out of context it becomes a CON.

What qualifies the statement is context and that context is COMPARISON to Equatorial rain forest we have in the South. So by comparison the terrain is seemingly a flat land in reality it is NOT.

And if you are in doubt ask or research Google maps satellite is your friend. Where is the Sambisa forest please and what's the terrain there.

Nuff said.

There's something I don't get here.
Do folks here realise that the General died in an ambush and not that bokoharam overan a base cos I don't this total diversion of the incident.

Whyem15:



There might have been no need for the reinforcement if the base was built to reasonable standard and the ambush might have been avoided.
When the enemy can predict that you will send reinforcement to help your poorly built bases, they will definitely consider amusing the reinforcement and that was what happened rather than they using those extra men to press the attack against the base.

Reinforcement occur for so many reasons and it happens frequently in various theatres around the world which I believe you know, you can never stamp out reinforcement.

It's high time we rally support from ECOMOG and AU or even the UN to come assist us with both men and equipment; if we can rally about 10,000 contingents of these regional forces to take on these terrorists head-on it will go a very long way in this war. It's getting obvious that the military is overwhelmed/overstretched coupled with the fact that they're heavily underfunded especially the Nigerian Army. We should tuck in this big brother abi na giant of Africa mantra in our pockets and seek for assistance anyway and anywhere we could this war has already lingered for too long we can't build a nation in a perpetual state of internal-war.

My comment is directed at the person that is saying it as if Maiduguri, Marte and Askari Uba is less than 30 minutes drive from each other.

There is no way the same Boko Haram squad will attack Maiduguri, attack a location close to Maiduguri, then attack Marte, then from Marte to Askari Uba. Even such a thing does not happen in Hollywood.

Make it difficult for ur enemy to come in, it also becomes difficult for u to go out...

Over the years NOBODY digs trenches anymore not in this modern day. It's like comparing DOS to WINDOWS 10, they are world's apart. And particularly not for forward operating bases.

The HESCO container system see pics below. Very easy to manufacture locally it's a combination of of of wire mesh around , steel framework ( easily collapsible) and synthetic fibre bag ( very thick Ghana must go bag )

You can place them on top of each other and get up 6 metres of elevation and even higher very easily.

See pics below

thank God. Prnigeria just published this even it did not report everything
officer told PRNigeria that the terrorists were ‘misbehaving after their heavy losses.’

The source said: “The ISWAP terrorists, who invaded the Askira Uba town destroyed telecommunication masts with guns and other firearms in their possession, forcing residents to flee.

“A military commander was killed in an ambush while leading troops on reinforcement operation. Some soldiers were also killed.

“Another group of terrorists attacked Mulai village, close to Maiduguri and rustled some cattle while another gang of fighters attacked a communication mast and health centre in Buni Yadi, Yobe State and carted away generator set and drugs.

“Meanwhile, at Ngamdu, in Kaga Local Government of Borno, ISWAP terrorists suffered a devastating blow in the hands of the troops, unfortunately, three Special Force operatives paid the Supreme sacrifice during the encounter.”

Your statement is general and without any specifics it becomes a NOTHING statement like a political slogan.

Ordinary barbed wires and machine gun nest will significantly blunt the terrorists attacks.

A disturbed Ethiopia makes the government weak, a weak government will make a perfect ground for terrorism to thrive.
It's now a matter of if they want to.
