I don't understand all these international media outfits. you quoted different sources which gave conflicting accounts of what happened, yet you are saying the military experienced huge casualties.

In as much I believe that are more work to be done in the fight against Boko Haram, this publication seems to contradict itself. Hence, it is mere cooked up story.

It is called objective reporting which years of political blindfolding have rob you of. You had expected the normal soldiers are dead or boko haram are dead but was totally disappointed so much that you can get the story.

Here is it in simple English ;

Boko Haram attacked a military formation and overrun them, the soldiers have obviously called for backup which later came both ground and air support and the military killed the bokos and regain ground. Gerrit?

Jonathanians won't like this too much . . . Nigeria is becoming more governable under the 'certificate-less' man of integrity.

Between Jonathanians and you, who wanted Bokoharam defeated?

Why was APC supporters called Janja-weed? Tell me I pray thee why Seun auto-corrected Janja-weed to "Supporters of APC"?

Bunch of hypocrites.

Your Papa-Ganja is not working. If the Jonathanians couldn't rig election, how will you guys ever rig reality against Buhari n APC?

As usual, change the narrative for want of common sense.

Answer the questions I put to you or get lost.

Dund, you come to Nairaland to twist facts and turn the truth upside down.

gringringringrin Goodnews.


I like this report. BBC doesn't lie.
All their reports are accurate.
And how is this good news when it say our troops were killed
Re: BBC: Boko Haram Have Inflicted Heavy Casualties On Nigerian Forces by Nobody: 1:59am On Apr 19, 2016
Very balanced reportage from BBC. I'm waiting for Army DHQ to tell us they killed 1million BH boys and only one soldier sustained minor injury.grin

Meanwhile, kudos to our NA for their prompt regaining of grounds.cool

Now i dont have time, lemme mak dis simple and short before i leav for patrol! Ders so much to it dt i cant scribble out here.

1. D attack was a dawn attack very early in d mrnin and we wer both advancing(NA & BH). and der was a contact and fighting broke out.
2. D advance was to capture damasak (a very strong hold of BH). BH dint also knw we wer advancing dt mrnin dey wer actually coming to cause chaos in a village (God knws y it happened so. Probably by now we wil b talkin abt civilian casualties whch my naija pple no wan hear).
3. D battle raged on for hours, d BH riffraffs. Wer much. Our boys wer outnumbered quite alright.
4. Air support was radioed for bt d response was slow.
5. Our boys wer already becoming low on ammo.
6. Der line was becoming thin by the minutes (cant tell u d casualties on our boys bt d BH suffered a heavy casualty).
7. Finaly airforce came to d rescue wit jets especially Alpha jets. Dis rekindled lost hope on our troops. But most of dem wer already in disarray.
8. Our jets went after dem wit everything dev got. Believe me wit everything they HAVE GOT. Because d jets actually went to refuel lik twice for dis mission.

.......gotta go!
