Which tactics? When you still send in soldiers for raid without air support. When you don't scan for heat signatures or employ infra red camera before sending the young men to am ambush at night? So what actually is he gonna do. My guess is simple, loot the stf budget as usual.
SEE WHAT TOO MUCH AMERICAN FILM HAS DONE TO YOU, DID DASUKI BUY THE INFRA RED CAMERA OGA JONA ASKED HIM TO?

Ride on Operation Lafiya Dole.

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace, strengthen them in their trials and temptations, give them courage to face the perils which beset them, and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be. Amin.
Amen

Already BH is defeated, they can't overrun military bases as they used to during Jonathan again. Soft attacks can happen anywhere in the world e.g @recent France attack

Lol, you hear as them mention my name for the loot ba?

Movie aside, which is better? Conducting search and mop up on large expanse of land say Sambisa with men or doing so with a drone?
Heard of Remote sensing? I guess not unless you studied geology and and appreciate the use of aerial photographs. It's not movie bro, it's technology and it brings out the effectiveness of a system. The numerous lives lost in the last ambush would've been averted with a single drone flight on the route with real time data relay to advancing convoy. So you think the army signal corps should sit by archaic radios while you've your gsm with 4g lte. Let's ask google if Dasuki bought the cameras.

There are no military solutions to ideological conflicts. Once 'god' is put into the equation you better fight the soul not the body.

Get in some mercenaries who are well versed in the art of guerilla warfare; it does not diminish the prestige of the Nigerian army. The govt could be discreet about it too.

That is one of the ways to take care of the kind of enemy we are dealing with.
You too dey watch American film but this approach go save lives

You have said it all .. Till we stop sending our boys to battle like NURTW fighters then we will make real progress.. Till now Nigeria doesn't have any aircraft that can hit targets on the ground..The Alpha jet can on bring its noisy ramjet engine to battle but can't kill anything on the ground because its munition is not precise

Employing machinery is sometimes dangerous, because it can result into something called friendly fire. this same scenario happen in January during the intense military occupation in Borno, remember that machineries were involved - i got this info in a documentary on YouTube.

How can a friendly fire occur, this can can occur when the machineries fail to recognized friendly unit approaching and were made to believed that the enemy can also were camouflage...

I believed in NA, we should let them used their intel to solve our internal problem this will help improve their capability

A military commander who knows his task can end the Boko Haram insurgency within 30 days. See Nigerians Report Online: More Than 16 Million Babies Were Born in Conflict Zones in 2015, http://www.nigeriansreport.com/2015/12/more-than-16-million-babies-were-born.html

The Defence Headquarters on Friday, December 18, announced the restructuring of its fight against the Boko Haram insurgents.


According to Rabe Abubakar, the military’s director of Defence Information, the Operation Lafiya Dole in the Northeast, which is at the forefront of the battle, has been repositioned to make it more efficient and effective in the discharge of its assigned tasks of crushing the Boko Haram sect, Premium Times reports.


To this regard, a new Theatre Commander has been appointed for Operation Lafiya Dole and he is Major General Hassan Umoru.

Umoru who was the general officer commanding, 3 Division Nigerian Army, is succeeding Yusha’u Mahmood Abubakar, a Major General, who was appointed four months ago.

The Defence Headquarters however did not state why Abubakar was removed.

Also appointed is the Deputy Theatre Commander who is Major General Lucky Irabor.

A statement from Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar reads: “The changes are part of the reorganisation by the Defence Headquarters in line with the force restructuring of its operations to attain the overall objectives of the Chief of Defence Staff.

“The aim of this new development is to re-strategize and inject new tactics to the existing operational procedures with the aim of finally knocking out the terrorists who now devised means of hitting soft targets through suicide bombings and isolated attacks on remote villages.

“Operation Lafiya Dole will continue to be responsive until all elements of terrorists are finally crushed.”


Naij.com recalls that a deadline of December was given to the military by President Muhammadu Buhari to end the activities of Boko Haram terrorists in the northeast.
