Kennydoc:
You've shown how you lack comprehension skills. So in your mind, BHT killed 150-2000 military personnel? You're just a kid.
Go back to that article and read it again.

Take a look at this excerpt from the article:

"According to Senator Ahmed Zanna, who represents the district of Borno Central, government forces—despite being the joint headquarters, only Nigerian Army forces were stationed there at the time—resisted the militants, who "attacked from all sides", for several hours, but eventually "joined civilians fleeing into the bush". [9][10] They reportedly seized a large number of weapons and vehicles, according to Zanna.

In the days following the assault, the militants forced Baga's residents into the surrounding area villages.[4] On the evening of Tuesday, 6 January, two local residents reported that the militants began to burn local buildings using petrol bombs and explosives, and according to survivors proceeded to kill those left.[4][5] On 9 January, a resident described the extent of the damage by reporting, "There is not any single house that is standing there."[11] According to Musa Bukar, head of the Kukawa local government area, all 16 villages in the LGA were razed as well, and their residents either killed or forced to flee."

Old papa, you are simply a dull pig

You know I've been very carefully avoiding outright insults and exchange of foul words with you. The way you throw insults while having an argument with people shows you're highly immature and uncultured.
If you can't show me where it was mentioned that over 100 military personnel were killed, just shut up.
This is the last time I will say it.

knightsTempler:
100 soldiers

100 husbands

100 Brothers to many members of their families

100 Fathers to children (nuclear and extended)

100 friends to many people

100 Nigerians

100 Heroes

No flag at half mast

No word from their Commander-in- Chief

No word from the Army

No list of our fallen Heroes

Nothing from any quarter to show the importance of these heroes that die that we may live.

Their lives meant nothing to their Government.
Govt Attacks those that mourn or publish this gruesome killing of our soldiers.

So, you can't see it in that baga massacre...avoiding insults but telling me to shut up.....Mr. PDP, go and take a nap.....you need it

Kennydoc:
This is where I will end it with you.

Another excerpt from the article...

"The exact death toll in Baga and 16 surrounding villages is unknown, with estimates ranging from “dozens” to 2000 or more. “No one stayed back to count bodies,” one local resident told Human Rights Watch. “We were all running to get out of town ahead of Boko Haram fighters who have since taken over the area."

Key points from the article:
1. The attack was on a military base and 16 villages.
2. The Army guys were overwhelmed and ran away from the base and escaped into the sorrounding areas. Unfortunately, we don't know how many of them were killed.
3. There isn't a clear figure regarding the total number of people killed, but it could be anything between 150 and 2000.

I was only trying to point out a few things to you:
1. There is no record of how many military men were killed. You can't even estimate it from the quoted figures, cos nothing in the whole report alludes to that. Majority of the victims were villagers. The Wikipedia article says nothing about how many army casualties.
2. If the terrorists that attacked Metele base were interested in killing locals, they wouldn't have had any resistance cos they had wiped out the only military base from which opposition would have come.

If APC and Buhari promised to eradicate Boko Haram and they've been insisting that BHT has been defeated, how come we can record such casualties from the supposedly highly armed military? Didn't Buhari request for $1 billion to equip the military against BHT just a couple of months ago?
I remember that after that Baga attack, there was a lot of pounding of the terrorists even before handover in May 2015. How come after 3½ years of a governmemt that promised to defeat the terrorist, we could lose over 100 of our army guys just in one attack?

Is it not clear to you that there is a big issue on our hands?
