no external forces can wipe terrorist impeded as deep as this in another man country

Terrorism is the fabric of Nigeria as things stands

You can't wipe it out without some saying it's attack on them, culture etc

Afghanistan 2.0 USA has to give up the country to the terrorists las las
Fighting terrorism is different from nation building. I don't know why most of you so called educated people conflate the two. USA lost entrenching democracy in Muslim world not the wars.

Israel is destroying Hezbollah without staying there to control Lebanese politics and is working gradually.

What do you mean? Is this the first time? There's several many and they succeed and even cart away amunitions from the bases.

These guys mostly have superior fire powers. Read the Op again and see what's said to be in their hands.

Before the troops would receive order to shoot from their sell out bosses, BH would have overun the whole place.
Why should they wait for order to shoot when terrorists attacks them,an inside source should tell me it is not true.

I wish they can just stop attacking people, what are they gaining from all this violence
They are gaining the same thing Tinubu is gaining from fighting for power and grabbing it before running with it, just for the purpose of stealing higher tax burden on Nigerians while bragging about hitting August revenue target and not borrowing money.

Haba, Americans again?

The innocent northerners that they killed on Tinubu’s invitation are enough o. Let them not come and kill more innocent northerners while claiming to be looking for Muslim terrorists that are committing genocide against Christians.

It is easier said than done!

Many of these terrorists have innocent civilians in their camps which they hold unto to prevent attacks on them.

Nevertheless, the army needs to do more but they are stretched thin.

This land will swallow the terrorists, this ground they desecrate, will swallow them all, including their collaborators and sponsors...the reason why terrorists are multiplying is because they release them...by releasing them you embolden them, as there are no consequence for their actions, no deterrence.

We need to use intelligence and attack and eliminate them, we need more forces, more intelligence, more drones and jets.

God bless Nigerian army, God's own army... unconquerable.

We don't want Trump,fight the terrorist now,you can't,defeat the terrorist,you can't, after how many years.
Nigeria should give Trump crudeoil,so he can fight bokoharam,at least our soldiers will stop dying, nairalanders,said no.

We are waiting for the people that will defeat bokoharam.
Is it not better we tell ourselves the truth,that Nigeria can't fight bokoharam.
Our leaders should keep deceiving themselves,both the northerners,even if they give Nigeria army all the intelligence and technology,they won't defeat bokoharam,they are there relatives,let's give contract to Trump and netanyanhu to fight bokoy,give them crudeoil let them fight for us.
My opinion

“terrorists were decisively overpowered and forced to withdraw.”
What an arrant nonsense
They were engaged with firepower yet they forcefully withdraw.
This is a big joke. Ammunitions wasted without killing a flies.

They're terrorists, their method of attack is guerrilla tactics. They do not have a specific base due to their mode of operation.

They have decesive base, abandoned base and run away base
