Hmm, Salkida is not even reporting this. Dude got tired already. Too many bad news coming from NE lately.

allexpensive:


This is crazy. I still repeat NA base are not safe in the Northeast.. NAF operates sole FOB too and our base protection is better.

I don't know how NA handles things but they need to improve. Men are dying.. Apart from situational awareness, other things can be put in place. Men just died and being here, I don't even know about it

iblawi:


Another new army base.

Why must army open new bases that can't be protected?

Xbee007:

It is time Buratai is replaced with another competent leader. The crazy man is just opening news bases that are literally sitting ducks.

]I think it's high time Buratai resigns, he has done his best[/b], let another man come and try his hands, we need fresh tactics. Meanwhile some people are in Katsina doing campaign.

I believe the man is bereft of new ideas, but then is the Chief of Operations dull too?

They open bases, make dry statements, pose for the camera & Sai dai safe!

Let's use our imagination and try to understand how the word "base" may have been abused. If an Army has a strategy of steadily increading its "holding positions"holding ground, there would always that initial period where things are just being positioned and defences not ship shape. These are the periods that Boko Haram seem to be exploiting. I don't blame them though. So they definitely have hardy, endurance tested scouts who can blend hard with surroundings and study NA positions.

There is also some sabotage within N.A. and I have read online material about foreign "private" satellite scans over the area where NA are being sold to Boko Haram. None of these issues should have such consequences that we are seeing now. I think we also have to blame our in-house skills at the platoon leadership level.

giles14:
let the NA go back to drawing board.

let's retrain our new fresh soldiers on base defense and properly reequip them

jakeporeshenko:

Boko Haram reviving receiving satellite intel ? Hahaha don’t make laugh, the problem with Nigerians is that we blame our issue on every single thing possible apart from the root causes, the death of newly deployed soldiers is due to poor planning, incompetence, greed and lack of hindsight with the NA, not satellites flying above sir.

It's not Burutai fault. Those who should be held accountable are those heading the theaterrrr. Make I no go talk now before my next deployment be deep into lake Chad region.

allexpensive:


If it's the same units from Jilli then they're fresh soldiers because those guys were deployed from ilorin. Most of them don't have COIN experience but are visible in terms of training.

Coin isn't about training. It's about experience. When I come under fire, when it's not tactical, I drop my training somewhere else and do what ever will keep my boys alive.

I'm presently in a sane country,while you're in that hell hole called Nigeria posting useless pictures up and down.
If boko haram and Fulani herdsmen like make dem over run all the northern state, nah dem sabi,it's none of the business of an ikorodu guy like me.

ugo4u:

If they successfully over run the entire north, where do you think will be there next target? Let's be patriotic for once biko, that country you are in they made their place peaceful for you to be there, last last no place like home because tomorrow you might sneeze and they will bundle you back to Ikorodu.

Odunayaw:
C'mon boss, he is oblivious to what's going under him?

The Chief of Ops both at Army & DHQ are Chairmy generals!

I agree with lower level competence issues and I have mentioned same. Greed is also possible. Discipline, most certainly.
