A very welcome development, but why does GEJ, as commander-in-chief continue to allow any force to capture or take control of any of our territories? This is quite disgraceful.
Why can't you be objective for once?

Please enlighten me about the lack of objectivity in my post and I'll be glad to make adjustments. You have to agree with me that it is quite disgraceful for a great Army such as ours to be losing terrotories to BH due to lack of leadership.

Nigeria's military set out to battle Boko Haram in dreaded Sambisa forest:

I am not impressed by these endless musical chairs btween the Nigerian military and Boko Haram. Today Boko Haram takes Chibok, Damboa, Mubi, Baga, etc, tomorrow the military retakes, the next day Boko haram retakes again.

This is not how wars are fought and won, you will only succeed in gradually wearing out your soldiers. It is frustrating to ask soldiers to go back and and recapture a town they had already fought bravely and gallantly to capture.

This war and wars generally are not won on the battle field, they are won from the command centres. Wars are like a chess game and the opposing commanders are the players. You out-think your opponent and not send soldiers into the war front without a strategy or goal. Nigerian Commanders seem to always respond in a knee jerk like manner to Boko Haram moves. We have not seen any brilliant strategy from the Nigerian military to counter Boko Haram.

To me i believe the main goal of Boko Haram is to take over Maiduguru. They are using the two prong strategy of encircling the city by capturing the surrounding towns and villages and at the same time widening the scope of their attacks on many other communities in order to pull out substantial troops from maiduguru as it is a heavy fortified town. They would continue to test the defenses of Maiduguri by launching sporadic attacks and see the responses from Nigerian Troops. Once they confident enough they would then pull all their resources for a full scale attack on Maiduguri. If Maiduguri falls, the war is as good as lost.

It is a disgrace for any military commander to lose a captured territory so easily. In a war reserves are called to hold unto territories after the main fighting force has captured it. This gives the main fighting force freedom to advance on the enemy and capture other towns.

Thank you sir.

If BH is the object, then why is it not objective to get to the root cause of the continued, undeserved wins, by BH? The root of their wins lies in the leadership of the Armed forces and the buck stops with the commander-in-chief! No same person would disagree with my assertions here.

Unfortunately, the said commander-in-chief is a person, so he must be attacked...you may minimize the effect if it pains you by envisioning that I am simply pointing out the incompetence of whoever currently occupies that office (i.e. commander-in-chief). The last time I checked, a st.upid goat did not occupy the office but a person.

Please stop this "full support and prayers" bulshit being propagated by PDP, TAN and the government. What a modern army needs to succeed are Motivation, military hardware, training and most important of all good commanders.

Al-Qaida did not hold unto any territory and was never interested in capturing any territory, their main goal was the elimination of western influence from Islamic nations and revenge on the west for killing fellow Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.

ISIS came up due to the crisis generated as the result of the civil war that started in Syria and spilled into Iraq due to the Incompetent, sectarian and corrupt leadership of Al-Malaki.

Do you think Nigeria Army is more equipped than nuclear powered nation like Ukraine that have lost large chunk of their territory to insurgents. What of Syria and Iraq who have lost almost 40% of their territories to ISIS, despite help of America and their NATO allies. It was the same rag tag group like boko haram that over ran Gaddafi's dreaded army and toppled his government. In 1991, an insurgent group led by FARAH AIDID defeated American military in Somalia with little effort.
Why I'm narrating all these events is to show you the mystery power of insurgency. I expect some of you to hail the efforts of the Nigerian military without attaching politics, religion and bigotry

Oga, we are discussing Nigeria and Boko Haram. I don't give a doggone what obtains in Ukraine. I have very little patience for redd herrings, sir.

If you have the capability to focus, then stay on topic.

The commander-in-chief of the armed forces is squarely responsible for the gains and losses of the armed forces....this is not rocket science.

It is annoying when you guys talk as if you are talking to illiterates, you lie, twist logic on its head and attempt to compare oranges to eggs in order to give useless excuses for the incompetence of the government you are supporting.

The so called Nuclear power of Ukraine was built by the Russians during the Soviet era, and it is the control of the Nuclear bases situated in Eastern Ukraine that is the main bone of contention in the on going civil war in Ukraine. The rebels (not insurgents) are ethnic Russian Ukrainians being back, funded and equipped by Russia to break away from Ukraine, because the government in Kiev has decided to align with the west. How does that compare with Nigerian Military failures in the war against insurgents.

No rag tag insurgent group defeated Colonel Gaddafi, It was the west NATO, the US and France that defeated Gadaffi. In fact at the beginning of the Civil war, In spite of all the ammunition and logistics supplied by France and the US, Gadaffi almost overran Benghazi, the rebel capital. It was when the US got physically involved by bombing Gadaffi's troops and the crippling the libyan air defences by imposing a no fly zone that the rebel were able to gain the upper hand in the war. Without the US and France, Gadaffi would have ruthlessly dealt with the rebels. So what is stopping President Goodluck Jonathan from dealing ruthlessly with Boko Haram?

Farah Aidid defeated the US military in a war? I honest do not know how to respond to that fallacy.

Hail the Nigerian Military? The Nigerian army that runs away from its barracks at the sight of Boko Haram, leaving all their armory behind? and leaving Nigerian towns and cities at the mercy of Boko Haram? A Nigerian army that swore to Uphold the territorial integrity of Nigeria and yet leaves about 24 local government for boko Haram to control?

We should coin a new word for you guys - EXCUSEOCRACY. Government of excuses by excuses. Blame every other person or thing except those in charge.

You know what, I don't argue with people like you.

My own take is; whoever is power should perform. The country is in a mess. That's a fact. Because the operation is slow doesn't mean that the Nigerian Army is not working. Don't forget that lives of those kids are involved here
