If you I became careless about taking care of my family, outsiders will notice and they will lecture me on how to take care of my family. Something is not right about our military's strategy at handling this Boko Haram issue. If we don't admit it we may not be able to start the process of addressing the wrong.

firetrap:
So many Nigerians are gullible and will believe anything the see on CNN. CNN is the propaganda tool of the USA have and their campaign of calumny against Nigeria has been going on for a long time.

many of you do not know that with the help of disgruntled elements like atiku and tinubu, the USA is looking for a means to exert their influence on Nigeria and if care is nor taken, it'll happen this year. Nigeria is the ideal country for their so called African command and if they build it in the northern parr of the counre, they would have access to all the uranium they would possibly need.

their plot to destabilise Nigeria is in full gear and the election of next month will be the tipping point. when PDP wins this same CNN will conduct interviews with purported "inec" staff who would claim that the election was rigged in favor Jonathan administration. with their puppet Saudi Arabia, they've already stated wrecking havoc on our economy.

Nigerians be careful do not allow yourselves to be used. Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya are good examples of how America has "liberated" a country and since then nothing good has come out of those countries. NIGERIANS BE WARNED

i have watch CNN all my adult life, i have never seen CNN interview an AMERICAN SOLDIER during IRAQ or AFGHANISTAN wars

only authorized military personnel are allowed to speak to the press. any soldier speaking to the press is on his own

but in Nigeria when we do something wrong we dont take responsibility it is the fault of the president

we should be mindful the way we advertise our country, when they would show up under the guise of help and destroy our country like they have done in a lot of places our children would continue the fight for many years

Somalia have not recovered till date.

this is not POLITICS this is our LIFE.

The Nigerian army playing the victim card as usual. If there wasn't a crack on the wall, the lizard wouldn't have found a place to nest.

Guy...Let me clue you in

1. You dont fight boko-haram armed guys. They are nobody
2. You go after the sponsors, network and family members. Cut of the head of the insurgence, and the armed guys (body) will die naturally.

Obasanjo told Jonathan to do this, Jonathan said they are members of PDP and some of them are part of his cabinet. So he is not ready to dismantle PDP or show weakness in his administration.

Remember, Azazi says PDP is boko-haram, bokohama is PDP.

Only a bias and political inclined Nigeria will refute all these facts.

A leader that is ready to take these steps will win the war.

Can Buhari do this? I am not sure. I dont trust Buhari too.

Only someone like OBJ can do this

ed2gbi:
I strongly agree with the soldiers. There is 100% of truth in what they said. I served in the Nigerian army for 8years and 6 months. So speaking from experience, soldiers buy their own kits from the ordinance unit of the army. Sometimes we buy from other soldiers of other countries during joint operations. Soldiers get issued with basic kits like uniforms, belts, berets, boots (1 pair each) once in 3-4 years. We paid for our own medical bills even though we we and our families were supposed to have access to free medical treatments. It is a shame but the truth is bitter.

ROSSIKE:
You are a bastar.d. What and what do you know about Nigerian military kits and uniforms? And training? Worthless animal.

The US Army is technologically advanced because the US invests heavily in technology and innovation....and their Armed forces are no exception.

As an example...Neil Armstrong...the man who walked on the moon....was a Navy officer...and for much of the 1950's and early 1960's before being recruited to join the astronaut corps...was a research aeronautics engineer...who assisted in the design and testing of high altitude aircraft as part of the research effort to develop space vehicles.

Also....many of the things we use today were invented by US army scientists....eg..the Jeep and the Hummer.(Jerrycans were invented by German millitary scientists in WW2).

Nigeria,on the other hand, refuses to invest in innovation, and technological development. We would rather chop oil money. That is why our army is so poorly equipped...because we do not have the industrial setup to equip them....because we would rather chop money at all costs.

vanunu:
Buhari is going to pay 5,000 naira to 25million unemployed nigerians.

Teagirl:
The west will do to us what the have been doing to other countries, expect more lies from CNN between now to 14 febuary, the aim is to completely loose faith in the present government and vote for their puppet Buhari, their aim is for Nigeria to break up and the will succed cos we are not united..poor Nigerians the believe any lies the are been fed by CNN..the will fuel fake war and put their puppet in Government**the will do to Nigeria what the did to libya..only if we are united or doom await us.

U.S. soldiers lack best protective gear
By Jonathan Turley

I recently received a note from one of the few husbands who knows just what his wife wants as a holiday gift. The Army sergeant (who asked to remain anonymous) e-mailed me from Iraq asking my help in finding him a store to buy body armor for his wife.

Both the sergeant and his wife are serving in Iraq, and both have seen action. But, like thousands of U.S. soldiers, his wife was not given the vital ceramic plates for her Kevlar Interceptor vest to protect her from bullet wounds. Instead, he said, she had to scavenge to find plates left behind by Iraqi soldiers — plates of inferior quality that do not properly fit her vest.

I know must would choose to believe CNN rather than our military or even the Nigerian government. Because it's all about integrity and trust! And trust is earned, can't be forced! Come to think about it, do we even need CNN to tell us about the deplorable state of the military in Nigeria? I think not.

thunder74:
I have followed this terrorism war for sometimes now and can tell you that it is not easy to face it in this present Nigeria. Why?

Every honest action of the govt will be misinterpreted on these three major Nigeria factors; Tribe, Religion and Politics.

When some states adopted Sharia law some years back, Obasanjo had the opportunity of stopping it, he chickened out and said it will die a natural death that it is a political Sharia, that is the beginning of this problem and it begins to grow from one state to the other until the demand by Boko Haram that the President convert to Islam and the famous Buhari "I will spread Sharia in all the state of the federation in sha Allah" came up.

Kano state established a state Islamic police called Hisbah, Obasanjo could not do anything but rather cowardly sent Atiku to talk to his people.

Fast forward to GEJ time, it all started like joke, the Northern leaders, Borno elders, ACF were talking about dialogue, later amnesty, etc while Boko Haram was getting stronger day by day. You will recall Nyako's memo to GEJ accusing him of carrying out Southern agenda against the North and threats to charge Ihejirika to ICJ by the Northern elders. Remember also when Sultan said the army is reducing the population of the Muslims by their killings.

I guess the PDP Members Aziza was referring to had moved to APC. Haven't you observed that the exodus of people that left PDP were Northerners and Muslims?

Put all the above puzzles together, you will understand what I am talking about.

If the president should arrest any of these people suspected, people will interpret it to be fighting dirty with opposition parties or bc they are not from his tribe or religion.

Senseless message. Go n hv sex so you can think properly.

Raiders:
why are you comparing US army and the Nigeria army. Even a f00l knows the most poorly equipped US army unit is much better equipped than our army. Why did you think those soldiers sentenced to dead refused to fight boko haram, They all complain that they were not well equipped with weapons. Our soldiers still use old soviet weapons while the US army uses advanced weapons.

nefertitiram:
Was still very funny sha! Change is the only constant thing in life. GEJ can rig this elections but he cannot rig Karma and mother nature at her worst elements! What happened to Pharaoh in 10,000BC will repeat itself, and this Red Sea will carry Fani Kayode. MuAzu, Okupe, Maku, Abati, Reno and PEJ along with it.

ROSSIKE:
CNN HAS INTEGRITY? THE SAME CNN THAT SOLD YOU THE LIE ABOUT SADDAM HAVING WMDs? THE SAME CNN THAT CLAIMED ''2000'' WERE KILLED IN BAGA? THE SAME CNN THAT LABELED NIGER AS NIGERIA AND FALSELY INCLUDED US AS AN EBOLA INFESTED NATION? SORRY, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INTEGRITY. IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE SLAVE/COLONIAL MENTALITY OF NIGERIANS WHO BELIEVE WHITE IS FROM GOD AND BLACK FROM THE DEVIL, SO ANYTHING A WHITE MAN SAYS MUST BE TRUE AND ANYTHING A BLACK SAYS MUST BE FALSE. IT STARTS FROM COLONIALISM, RELIGION, WORSHIP OF A WHITE JESUS, WORSHIP OF LIGHT SKIN, BLEACHING ETC ETC. COLONIAL CONDITIONING LEADING TO SELF HATE. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. OH...BUHARI'S DAUGHTER IS STUNNING! WHY? SHE IS LIGHT SKINNED WITH A POINTY NOSE. THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO WHITE THE MORE ''BEAUTIFUL'' AND ''STUNNING'' YOU LOOK TO THE CONDITIONED, BRAINWASHED NIGERIAN. HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT 100 YEARS, THIS MENTAL DISEASE WOULD HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT FROM THEIR SYSTEM.

iterator24:
ISIS took iraq in a year, meanwhile boko haram is still confined to the north east (borno) in 5 year insurgency. . dude, do you think boko haram can get into abuja with their pick up trucks anfd start running things any how? their weapon is suicide bombers and cowards do that.. respect ypur military!

CityNG:
I don't need to watch the interview.

I completely trust CNNs reporting.
