Thank you for protecting Nigerians against evil element, even if most Nigerians don't want to admit it because of ethnicity, political, religious difference.

Not a chance! The Nigerian military has recently stepped up its game and is on the verge of reclaiming its lost glory.

That's like the size of the population of a small LGC in Nigeria.
We don't know the numbers that hunter,vigilante,costom, police and civil defence may have killed.
May God show us mercy. Nigeria is a crime scene.

It is not funny... Usually, we can't completely blame hunger for the continuous acts of terrorism.

The main factor is ideology.

Some believe that they are fighting for a religious cause, while others think they are fighting for biafra.

It's just not funny.

I hope the military continues to sustain this onslaught against these d3mons.

IPOB is included on that kill list as well.
Always remember that IPOB is a terrorist organisation and are also part of those who contributed to be dispatched by the Nigerian Army.
