Well said bro. This is the most objective and constructive comment ever on NL. Let's forget about Politics and see things the way they are.

The army on "cordon and search operation" in the wildernerness? I do not think the picture correspondents with the story...

As much as I appreciate the work our soldiers are doing, it creates doubt when we keep on seeing lies in pics. We were told "two insurgents" were killed but If my eyes are not deceiving me,I think I can count at least 7 dead bodies in the pic. Suppose it also included that of the dead soldier,we shouldnt have more than three dead bodies on the pics!!!

Na waoh ooooooooooooooo

The pictures are fake and misleading.

I served in Okene you hardly see grasses there the town is 90% filled with rocks and stones

Stop posting rubbish. I'm from Okene, and there is no where in Okene or Adavi local government that looks anything like that. By the way, the shootout happened at Inike, which looks nothing like that. That pic is certainly somewhere in the Northeast.

kogi should not be as dry as this at this time of the year.

Nigerian troops on cordon and search operations at the general area of Enike Mosque, Okene town, Kogi State were attacked by some suspected terrorists at about 5.30am Tuesday. The troops responded and 2 of the attackers were killed. In addition, a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) bomb and empty cases of expended ammunition were recovered. Unfortunately, the troops lost a soldier, while another sustained gunshot wounds.

LordMecuzy:


okay bro no P but if you've been to okene and Adavi you'll understand.. good morning

I am in Okene now, there is no place like that here. The fight even took place in a built up neghborhood - Inike.
That pic is Borno state.

Op correct your spelling, it's INIKE not Enike.

Eh ehn...seriously
Okene kor okija ni...
Liars crawling all over Nairaland

God will not forgive this op. where do see desert in Okene that is full of mountains. the event happened right in the town

The news said 2 of the attackers were killed but the bodies on the ground are like 5-6. The story and the pictures don't add up.

fake picture, Okene does not even have this kind of flat land. The poster says two dead bodies why there are up to four or five dead bodies.

they look so cute dead thou kogi vegetation ain't like dat shaa

APC and propaganda........This is a recycling picture of what happened during GEJ's tenure now being front as a recent pics.

dis can never be okene,it impossible,i have lived in dat place for sometime...i cant even see any hilly rock,op u fall ur hand.

Eugenedimgba:
Rain no dey fall around mosque

eugene,, box box dimgba

BlackTechnology:
This is not Kogi


The vegetation is toooo dry

exactly.. This must be a picture from previous military exploits in the north east.. The attack actually happened in the suburbs of Okene, around the junction that leads to Ondo

.

LordMecuzy:


I served in Okene you hardly see grasses there the town is 90% filled with rocks and stones

una dey hear...someone that was there,is telling you,what he saw.....soooo..believe it or let it,who cares....
but,one thing i know is: you can not defeat nigerian army...even if you defeat them on nigerian soil,they will just move their headquaters to another african nation,russia,iran,china,south-america and keep on fighting you.....

StepTwo:
is it that there are some parts of the middlebelt where it does not rain or this picture was taken during the dry season?

why the grasses so dead?

..........all nurtured and fostered by GEJ's negligence and cheap excuses for every damn thing for 5 whole years. Kindly, be truthful, you think 4 months is already too much time to fix 5 years intense rot? By the Grace of God and genuine commitment by the new government, we would triumph and Nigeria will be great again. ✊
