More Victory for Nigeria Army

Kindly roast them all. They mean no well for peace and stability of this country. We are peace lovers and anyone that doesn't need peace should be sent to hell. No peace for the wicked.

accordadoga25:
Hehehe

Cannibals will come to defend IPOB and ESN as usual.

I thought they said IPOB and ESN are not the same.

They even said Nnamdi Kanu is not a terrorist.

By the time their colonial master, Ekpa is caught they will still say he has committed no crime.

All the enemies of Nigeria shall know no peace.

I was looking to see dead bodies littered everywhere but that wasn't the case.

gammarays:
You already know the drill
One or two killed
One or two captured
Some mobile phones and okada captured and so on.

We know their usual storyline

I still wonder how stupid Nigerians are still falling for this " put gun on the floor-take picture-issue statement" propaganda

The Nigerian Army is shameless. 4 out of 6 geopolitical zones are in the grip of insecurity. Rather than do something about it, you are busy issuing worthless statements and congratulating your self for doing well


Do what will make people feel safe and protected,
not issue statemens while daily reports comes out of people and communities being massacred
