MizMyColi:
The Shadow Cabinet Of Nigeria in a state of utter shock and dismay hereby decry the coordinated‎ bombings in Yola and Kano in the past 72 hours resulting in 49 deaths and many injured, worse still, the alleged case of 105 missing soldiers as reported in the media.
‎
We are aware of the recent press statement by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, that no army officer is missing.‎

‎We beg to differ on this.
We have reached out to a few reliable sources within the ranks of the Nigerian military and we can confirm that things are very bad, the Nigerian press seem to be covering up a lot of things. 

Could it be that the Nigerian Army and FG have colluded to quash this issue of grave concern by maintaining plausible deniability‎, in a bid to forestall a campaign similar to the BringBackOurGirls movement? 

At this point, we demand to know the men who make up the 175 battalion, we demand a proof of life. Also, we demand undeniable proof that all vehicles, a truck loaded with over 60,000 rounds of AA ammunition and artillery pieces be accounted for‎.
‎
As a matter of National emergency and urgency we charge the presidency to take the following steps:-‎

1. Conduct a more thorough investigation and release an official press statement confirming or denying such reports. Nigerians deserve to know the truth.
‎
‎‎
2. Inform the Nigerian people on steps being taken to ensure the safe return of our gallant and brave soldiers to their families and loved ones, in the case that this report is officially declared to the general public as true.‎

3. Employ every might and resource to ensure that the Nigerian Army #BringBackOurSoldiers‎ ALIVE.
‎
The Boko Haram insurgents have been reported as the world's deadliest terrorist organisation. Such negative and shameful development is a far cry from President Muhammadu Buhari's promise to annihilate Boko Haram within two months of assuming power.

The Chibok girls saga is yet to be resolved and at the time of this release, we have an alleged case of missing soldiers on our hands.‎

If this eventually turns out true, then it is a monumental embarrassment; A slap on our military might.
This cannot be handled with kid gloves.
‎
We urge all hands to be on deck.
Our collective resolve as a people must be to shun terrorism in all it's forms.‎
In all sincerity and purpose, we hope that this alarming news turns out false, however, in a case where such is confirmed, our hearts and prayers go out to the families‎ of the missing soldiers who are yet unsure of the fate of their husbands, sons, and fathers.
Moreso, we commiserate with the families of all the victims in the recent bomb blasts.‎ We pray that they be granted fortitude to bear such immense loss.
‎
We equally encourage our soldiers out there on the battlefield not to despair.‎
‎
Nigeria will rise.‎
#SayNoToTerrorism‎

what is with you and buhari this and that

Did buhari contribute to your MISERABLE life

Weather he lied or not, did you think he is omnipresent to know everything or what is going on

WOMAN! You really need DELIVERANCE I swear

Na wa o! how true is this

MizMyColi:


So why the brazen lies by Lt Gen. Buratai?

This is shameful!

There's still a lot that's not being said.

why dont u get the right info first,before rushing into conclusion that there is a cover up....a security expert on twitter initially confirmed the news,that iswap had cut off some men from the 175 batallion,but he latter posted that a combined team of soldiers and CJTF had broken the seige and rescued the soldiers..,the T-72 tank initially captured had been demobilized by the troops...were u expecting BURUTIA to come out and say,troops were cut off but they have been rescued?what difference does it make?...if u believe 105 soldiers were captured by iswap,then i think u need serious brain check...we're talking of 105 armed soldiers not kids...https://mobile.twitter.com/DonKlericuzio/status/667429377328717824?p=v

APC and lies be like Burutai and snakes.

This is really mind blowing to think in a great country like ours, about a hundred plus soldiers we just get missing without trace. The story seems to lack credibility mere looking at it, but somehow anything is possible in this country. I just pray this doesn't turn out to be truth.

A security expert tweeted yesterday that some of the missing soldiers have been rescued. But why is bruntai and apc lying

any fool can claim to be security expert on twitter..
check the pix u posted yourself you can see white officers behind.. who knows maybe the man in the picture he is not even a nigeria marine..

omenka:
Opposition by a "shadow cabinet" that believes only negative news?? What manner of opposition is that

These guys are simply reeling from the defeat in the last election and would do anything to paint this admin in bad light. We've seen and heard just too many of their trash it is almost impossible to ignore them.

PDP took Nigerians through SIXTEEN horrendous years, none worse than the last SIX years, yet they expect Buhari to undo the rot they instituted over that period in just SIX MONTHS!! Isn't that sheer madness

When u mention Pdp and 16yrs always add Obj,Atiku,Ameachi and others that are now saints in Apc,cos we are tired of hearing Pdp ruined Nigeria for 16yrs

jaykaylegend:
Just imagine it...

How would 105 soldiers miss??
Did they die or they did not see them at all??
Did you ask the fool that reported it for evidence that soldiers were indeed missing??
How many press statements do you want??
Even if you take a 100 school boys with dane guns to fight BH, they wouldn't miss not to talk of 100 heavily armed and trained soldiers....
One fool even came on NL to say that most of the missing soldiers are from the SE and SS regions...

Before you criticise someone, try to get your facts right and don't abuse the privilege OBJ gave to us by using it to display your utter stupidity

This guy has been sleeping even before the chibok girls went missing/kidnapped.

Beremx:
LMAO!! busted!

Isn't it surprising that all those GEJites who said Chibok girls abduction was a scam during Jonathan's administration are now telling us now that it's no longer a scam?

hypocrisy at its peak!

You are comparing two different things.

Innocent young school girls no matter the number can be frightened by a few gun wielding men and they will succumb and be taken away.

105 trained and armed soldiers will require over 500 well armed soldiers to cause disarmament and kidnap/abduction to happen. Soldiers are trained to defend and attack, programmed to fight and psyched up to die for their nation should the need arise. A few roasted chicken eating ragtags can not just kidnap or abduct an unarmed soldier let alone one armed at that in the battle field. Saying 105 soldiers are hiding or have defected sounds more reasonable than saying 105 soldiers are missing, abducted or kidnapped.

hmmm....

People just make silly comments. You need to be in Buratai's shows to understand why he acts the way he does

Shuoooo

What kind of stupid nonsense post be this early Friday morning ...

Op, you have any brain so?

erunz:

Who knew or ever heard of the so called security expert before this incident?

If you know the extent of propaganda machinery, you will double check your the source before believing everything some kangaroo 'expert" throws at you.

This film is interested.

Is this not typical?? What you lot prefer to believe are the worst news about this admin. When a bomb goes off and official stories says 3 died, you'd rather believe Shekau if he says 500 died.

We are used to all of these. Keep picking your rotten cherries as you please.

Nonsense.

...And hit the damn treadmill already.

God bless you, Omenka. Same thing on my mind as I read her silly post. These senseless saddists are quick to believe every bad news but will doubt the good ones. I don't even know if they are Nigerians anymore. That your GEJ lost election doesn't mean you should become an enemy of the state.

Mizmycoli, I used to think you are a bit intelligent..why prove me wrong? How can over 100 soldiers go missing just like that? Dem be chibok girls? Abi na civilians? Abi u think say na GEJ administration we still dey? Madam, use your head na

Chai! You guys are becoming really annoying these days

Names of soldiers are not classified. Don't show your ignorance in public

Says who mister man. Can you go to Nigerian Air Force base and ask for the name of the commander of ESD? Please try it and see if dem no go slap your face.

Imagine this foolish girl, you want the names and make up of soldiers fighting terrorist? Do think this is Mr Nairaland contest?

LMFAO.

I won't surprise me if she doesn't bother to reply to this. You can even ask Mizmycoli, passingshot, midolian who they deem necessary to save, is it the Chibok girls, or soldiers who are trained to kill and withstand the deadliest of situation?

I mean the propaganda is just dumb ...

It simply boils down to gutter journalism and unintelligence of a majority of Nigerians. A whole company of troops missing in action? IMPOSSIBLE. Most likely, the troops had to make a withdrawal and lost contact with Division/Brigade HQ. But to believe that over 100 well trained troops were kidnapped boils down to stupidity and ignorance

Is it not funny that the reverse was the case in the last administration?

The sooner dey kill dose soldiers d beta.... Hw can 105. Soldiers allow demself be captured alongside deir tank and 60000 rounds of ammunition. Do they not knw the havoc such weapons wil be used fo in hands of boko haram. 105 soldiers is more than enuf to hold out and fight fo hours pending rescue. They gallant my foot spits. Shameful men

Midolian, passingshot, omenka et al, the question we all should be asking is, which is more serious: the missing soldiers, or the chibok girls?

I believe the case was the reverse my man.

C'mon, can't we have constructive decent arguments on NL without resorting to abuse and name calling? The Op made her own point and gave her opinion, if you disagree do so constructively like learned ppl that I think most of us are. Even Hitler and Idi Amin had followers, so counter her opinions without insulting her weight or Size or whatever. Remember nobody is perfect , not even Bee. Majority of females are only concerned about likes on Instagram and making their as.s look big, she's at least in tune with political happenings around her. I'm not saying she's 100% right or wrong, I'm just saying let's argue constructively without Insults. Ta

MizMyColi:


Omenka Shut Your Stinking Gob!

It's my body and I'll do whatever and however I like with it.

You are an inconsequential slave, and your sick opinion as far as I'm concerned does not count, so shove it up your stinking slimmy arse!

Now that I think of it

Get your lice infested gorimakpa treated already.

And while at it, be done with that over washed and over used red shirt.

You devilish and heartless Bigot.
You keep insulting me everywhere on this forum and all I've done is ignore you!

You are a disgrace!
A big disgrace to whatever God forsaken, poverty stricken community that you represent on Nairaland.

Your people are slaughtered daily by Fulani terrorists and you have never deemed it fit to create a post where you strongly condemn such.

Look at this filth!
This uncouth demon.
Who do you think you are.

Ewu anumpama.
You are cursed and forever irredeemable.

Pathetic Scum.

I like peace. I am a woman of peace. I dont fight, I dont abuse

I trust in the higher energy

The comments I cancelled were actually irrelevant.

To the one I left, were you not among those propagating these same "bad news" against the last administration?

For your information, the Press Statement didn't say the soldiers were kidnapped as the news was and is still an allegation. Government only added some spice to the stew.

The Press Statement is to compel government to tell the people what actually happened and if the allegation is false, the onus is on them to prove that actually there was no missing soldier.

That Press Statement is a sharp deviation from the kind of Opposition you and your comrades played in the last administration. The Shadow Cabinet is setting a pace - as GEJ did in strengthening democracy in Nigeria - on how vibrant and constructive opposition should be practiced in Nigeria.

So either you take a seat and learn how it is done or you shoot your leg.
