If not that President Jonathan was a weakling and a coward who easily bow and melt under presume you wouldn't hear of any terrorists operating in the Northern Nigeria today. Yet despite the atrocities that Buratai committed during his time, Buhari refused to remove him. The name Ihejirika terrified terrorists in North during his reign. Ihejirika was aware that there were moles within the military, he often hid intelligence gathered and future military onslaught on the terrorists from other military chiefs. Top northern military chiefs will wake up to read on newspaper, Nigerian army's successful air raid and attack on BokoHaram just like every other Nigerian. Ihejirika decimated terrorists to an extent that northern elders have to dragged him to International Criminal Court for genocide. Had it been Jonathan didn't remove him out of fear dude would have concluded his plan in 12 months time and free northern Nigeria from terrorists. Hausa-Fulani COAS can't do it because he will be sympathetic to his brothers. Fear of Fulanis no go gree yoruba COAS to do it. Na only Igbo COAS go get liver to eliminate those terrorists or maybe foreign intervation by America. "Political will" and "a military with no internal sabotage" are all that are needed to end terrorism in Nigeria

Only an igbo is capable of accomplishing that feat of solving a major problem as if it is nothing. It is called Ikenga . The rest do not have it and that’s why igbos are always yearning to solve a problem while the rest appear confused, clueless and pray to god like Inmam bola and pastor remi to solve problem their mental laziness created….Nigeria have set igbos back by at least a hundred years…smh |

motymop:Don’t mind him ihijirka or whatever his name is, his specialty is human rights abuse. His army killed nearly everyone in Borno except Boko Haram. While BH was advancing and marching toward Abuja, he busied himself killing the vulnerable the lame, the blind, the beggars. There are videos of his army rounding people up and executing them summarily. As if this was some kind of revenge mission for ancestral grievances. His forces killed the civilian population while the actual insurgent threat went largely unopposed. |

motymop:When were you born? Make I know if I'm arguing with a teenager. Why was these northern groups; Borno Elders Forum, Northern Elders Forum, Arewa Consultative Forum crying daily on TV that Ihejirika was massacring their people during his tenor that he wants to revenge on the north because of Biafran war? They even went to ICC to complain. Things became worse after Jonathan removed him. |

Ihejirika was carpet bombing terrorist hideouts in the North on a daily basis. Dude would have ended terrorism in Northern Nigeria.

Ihejirika didn't terrorise boko haram, a lot of soldiers lost their lives back then. He couldn't even kill Shekarau till he handed over to Minimah The military was also ill-equpied with a lot of bomb blast happening all over the north. An army officer created a thread about the havoc boko haram was unleashing in the north back then, the thread had to be taken down at some point |

Nigerians are not ready for a better system. And let me say it without mincing words, it will hurt them but it is the truth. The only tribe that has the magic wand to turn Nigeria around are the Igbos. But that is a discussion for another. |

Ikaeniyan0:It's a war and every war will always have casualties on both sides. George Bush that invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and killed many terrorists didn't kill Bin laden, the later US president that took out Bin laden didn't kill much terrorists as much as Bush. Since 2008 that Boko Haram began it was only Ihejirika time that was the most hardest period for any terrorists in Nigeria FACT! |

centurionpapa: You are 100% correct. Ihejirika was a busy killing innocent local northerners instead Boko-Haram. It got so bad that people realised Ihejirika had deep rooted hatred for Muslim north and he used his position as Chief of Army Staff to execute his personal war on northerners. Things got so bad that most northerners saw the army under Ihejirika as their enemy that had come to execute them because the army kept on decimating entire village after villages cc aariwa |

Pure lies. The chief of army staff that gave Boko Haram the hottest hell was Buratai followed by Minimah. BH actually festered under Ihejirika. So don't bring your propaganda here. |

chnnmfl: Phred1717: aariwa:Iherika was doing nothing other than rounding up civilians in their houses and burying them in shallow graves yet Bokoharam were causing havoc and advancing towards Abuja. It got so bad that Abuja was no longer safe, suicide bombings took over everywhere. GEJ had to hire South African Mercenaries to push back Bokoharam. |

U09ce:You must be living under a cave. We are talking about terrorism in the North in general. So what you are saying is that northern Nigeria was safer under Buratai & Buhari? You must be delusional. Buratai tenor that had Bandits terrorizing North West, BokoHaram & ISWAP massacring in the North East while Terrorists Herdsmen were spilling blood daily in the North Central? Ihejirika was made COAS in 2010 during the early emergency of BokoHaram. It was the peak of BokoHaram when all their commanders that started the group were still fighting together and were all alive yet Ihejirika delt a massive blow on them. Buratai came years later when BokoHaram has been weakened after separating into many splitter groups while they regularly fight among themselves yet Buratai couldn't achieve much. It's believed that Shekau was killed by a rival group and not by Nigerian military thats why Nigerian army don't have his body or couldn't show his corpse. So truth is, Ihejirika decimated BokoHaram when they were united and formidable while Buratai achieved nothing even when BokoHaram was in disarray and were fighting among themselves. Buratai had to rely on a rival group to eliminate Shekau for him. You clearly doesn't know what you are talking about. That is, if it's not a kid that I'm arguing with. |

Putindbutt:Is Abuja safe today? Bombing in Abuja during Jonathan means they lack active fighters in Abuja that's why they have to resolt to occasional suicide bombing in Abuja. Fast forward to today, they now have active foot soldiers stationed in Abuja today. After Ihejirika left. Dude was engaging and containing them in the North East. Their most recent Abuja attack was the one that killed Arise TV presenter when over 50 terrorists invaded her estate in Abuja. |

Na we dey Maiduguri that year and na we go talk how e start what Ihejerika did to book Haram no Army Chief after him has achieved that, he killed them to the point that,Jonathan has to travel to maiduguri, where he told the state elders that if they assure him the hat there will no longer be violence in maiduguri as he is living the Army is doing same...tell me, till date non of the northern elders gave any assurance of peace in their dormain |

Putindbutt:Lol another baseless Ibadan- ogbomosho beer parlor talk. Dambazzau was chief of army staff when Jonathan was sworn in on 6th May 2010 and on the day he was sworn in there was a loud bomb blast few kilometers from eagles square and the whole Nigerians heard it , bombings including suicide ones continued within Abuja up until the bombing of UN building in Abuja on 26th August 2010 after a Friday prayers. The response of Jonathan government was scattered , Dambazzau gathered a lot of Muslim youths in north east and summarily executed them and some people within his government pointed pointed at Niger delta activists like Henry okah, boy loaf etc as being behind the problem but this shabby Agbado like excuses did not impress international community and they including Obama gave Jonathan and ultimatum or face consequences and that was when he realized he needed a capable hand and as someone who grew up with the Igbos, he already knows the capability of a competent Igbo man on 8th September 2010. From that date he used technology to decimate boko haram in the nations capital and no single bomb was heard again. He took the fight to north east and recovered most of borno , yobe and Adamawa territories that were formerly under control of boko haram and was on the brink of ending that war forever before the north deceived Jonathan to remove him . Inspite of pleading of Patience Jonathan Jonathan mumu took over him and he replaced ihejirika with Keneth Minimah in January 2014 and boko haram started regaining their strength and territories culminating in the kidnapping of more than 200 chibok girls in April 14th 2014. Nobody could have been able to remove Jonathan with Ihejirika standing gidigba with his Ikenga as an igbo man and the north knew that an played the mumu on him Cc- stuffs2002, centurionpapa , phred1717 , chnnmfl, kaltonga |

chnnmfl:The main reason they pressured mumu Jonathan to remove him was that they saw ihejirika as a stumbling block to removing Jonathan. Under Ihejirika watch nobody would kidnap over 200 chibok girls …impossible. He has almost won BH war 80% before Jonathan mumu remove am |

All of you are lieing as if it didn't happen in our presence. General Ihejirika gave BH woto woto and that is with the sanctions on us then oo, no weapon but men still mounted BH matter. Right now what they doing is playing and being sympathetic with BH otherwise tell me why there could be a standing order not to engage terrorists?? The northerners (especially Kanuri and Fulani) have soft for these terrorists. |
