I saw a video a soldier made on twitter. The soldier said so many soldiers have died and he and his colleagues are running away from Borno state because they don't have adequate weapons to fight. He said whenever Nigerian army is ready to supply them good weapons they'll come back. My questions is "what about the pictures of weapons boko haram seized from Nigerian army ?" Are those weapons not good enough for combat ? I'm beggining to think our soldiers are the problem not government. I may be wrong though.

present army cannot win the war. it is only U.N. or U.S backed army that can. U.S has seen this coming years back. then, us wanted to set up a base in chad region ( now boko haram region), obasanjo said no of course with good intention but he had no idea real reason behind U.S. move. GEJ recorded some success in fight against boko haram with aids of military mercenaries from S.A. Present administration terminated the contract.
i repeat present army cannot win boko haram war. the fight now has global dimension,boko haram is now part of global movement for islamic state.

Painful to know situation in the Northeast is getting messier everyday. The hurnt now hurnts the hurnter. While the Boko Haram are restrategizingon how to be deadlier and be untamable, corruption in Nigerian army and ineptitude of the ruling class kills and silences the resistance of the military. Another state under state and the FG is there, concerned about 2019.

Of course any observant mind knows these recent terrorist are not the boko Haram of old..the video that went viral some weeks ago, where they overran and shot soliders at point blank range showed that these new guys on the block are much more formidable..even their dressing showed that they were fully kitted, armed and trained..these guys are definitely getting training from mercenaries affiliated to ISIL..how many of our military commandants have been in actual battle before? You see? They can't give what they don't have..it's not just about weapons..


Wrong!! A preview of some of the men sent by the NAF, and the criteria for sending some army soldiers/officers to troubled spot, them no need tell you.

Na craze men full there. All thanks to Late ACM Badeh. He was the one that stopped a very strange trend as CDS, where NDA graduates will be using levels to have DSSC graduate substitute them for combat ops in troubled spots of the country (That is aside from those who are on PD or punishment posting).

In fact, within the airforce, it was he that started sending women on rifle duty even to combat zones.

Before he came on board, DSSC officers will be going to strange places to do patrol like Sambisa (without any form of CT training), he fought that thing to a standstill and at a time, stopped DSSC recruitment for more than a year as a way of protecting them.

Some of the attacks, from reports of folks who went and escaped, was either as a result of them being outnumbered or soldiers running out of ammunition.

If na the calibre of commanders, don't go there oooh!! I can't be mentioning names upandan the place, but some of them have seen more action than is necessary for officers of their rank.

What most people don't know is that, in public administration terminology; there is a difference between "appropriation" and "allocation". Most of the cash the government announces have not even reached CDS office not to talk of people like chief of army staff.

As I speak to you, the conditions for service for DSSC officers have been reviewed. Rank you will attain in 14 years, you now attain in 16years.

All signed by President Buhari (abi na Jubril, na only God know), but the increment in wages as recommended by the new conditions, has not been implemented up to even the office of the military chiefs and their deputies.

If you check, na money whey dem release for pages of newspaper and propaganda outfits own by the ruling party, but no cash backing to effect it.

So if cash/allowances meant to encourage boots on the ground is being treated with levity, is it hard to believe otherwise when the same people run back, saying they ran out of bullets in the theatre of war........?

Are soldiers not part of government again. What are you saying? When a person swears on oath to defend the integrity of the country, what does he become. Please educate yourslef first. You guys are part of the problem. An ignorant society simply cannot get better that its status quo.

My friend shut it and sit down. You can run this form of government for a thousand years and be guaranteed that it cannot get better. You keep on pouring water into this basket case called Nigeria and you will die of thirst. It is not a curse. The structure of this country is hopelessly defective and Boko Haram is simply the virus that exploits the weakened immunity of this nation.

Whether you like it or not the best this government or any other can make are superficial improvements. I said before the last elections and I am saying it again after four years. Your Buhari may win but please leave out Nigeria from your parochial views. It cannot get fundamentally better under this structure.

LordsApostle:


I'm surprised you are just realising that. The problem has always been the soldiers, they only use the weapons thing for media sensationalism, that's all..
It is common knowledge that the weapons most of the Boko boys use were seized from our military, you always hear "large cache of arms and ammunition seized" when military bases are captured , that is the real issue.., the recent 40heads that was seized from the military is just one of the many.

The truth is, most of the soldiers joining the military do so, to wear camouflage and slap/brutalise everyday Nigerian walking on the streets, for them that's all there is about the army, when they get confronted with what it really entails, their eyes gets cleared up and they become fidgety crying like toddlers... The problem has never been weapons, the courage and morale is just totally lost.
exactly my thought. Army is joined by jobless and ambitious youth now. they are not ready to fight for this country all they want is money. imagine buying Nigerian Army slot for 200k. corruption is what is killing Nigeria. We are corrupts of the highest Order.

Sometimes, I and my colleagues do read everything you guys post here with a heavy heart and pity for your ignorance towards the real happenings in the theatre of war or the military generally..
That boko haram took pictures of few weapons they captured shouldn't give you the idea that they took large cache of weapons.. what they won't show you is that most of the weapons has no ammunition or is not combat worthy.

There is a clear difference between having weapons and having ammunitions to use in those weapons.. as a lieutenant heading a reconnaissance team of 12men, I'm assigned only 2 drum magazines of 30rounds capacity, with no renewable chance until exhausted.. my men are issued one each... now tell me sire, how many people do you wish to kill with 30bullets? how do you defend yourself with 30bullets with no assurance of a side arm(pistol)??

The APCs(Armored personnel carriers) you see boko haram capture, which are not made to participate directly in combat like the AFVs is not even equipped with the normal M50cal weapons as it should for defense... most of the automobiles are not temporarily in service, that's why boko haram tend to burn them instead of taking them..
out of my whole team, only 7 has rifles and is equipped for combat, the others, their rifles jammed or either went to Kaduna for servicing or permanently out of service.

In order to sound woke or informed, you guys tend fabricate things or make certain conclusions that you think is right which is actually wrong, endangering humans like yourself somewhere fighting for the survival of everybody.

I have a lot of things I still want to say.. but I will stop here cuz duty calls.

He recorded nothing to be sincere my friend!! What did he do when boko haram was bombing everywhere in the North including Abuja. He was only proactive when the 2015 election was approaching. Buhari led administration tried compare to GEJ considering the bombing and killings of civilian by Boko Haram. when last did u heard bomb blast ecen in Maiduguri? which was frequent during d previous admin. here in Kaduna since 2015 bombing targeted on Buhari we have never experience any bomb blast uptill now.
Concerning recent Boko haram attacks, our Army is very corrupt to the point of recruitment of the soldiers. Most of these soldiers we are recruiting they dont have zeal for war or depending Nigeria. We know them you know them. they are in the army because there ar no Jobs and those that are ready to join Army dont have money they will bribed their way in to the Army.

You seem to be in the know, atleast more than I do so I'll take your word for it..it's just so hard to believe that a group of fighters(in this case the Nigerian army) having armoured vehicles, tanks and RPGs will be losing to another group that started out having half of those...check am na! Boko Haram initially had no tanks and even less patrol vehicles..they got these things from the people who had..right now that it has metamorphosed from boko Haram into ISWAP (a much more deadly group) it will need more than just bullets and rifles to subdue them..the Nigerian army needs better warfare strategy..this is beyond just point and shoot..that is how I see it.

My point exactly! It has gone beyond point and shoot..saying it's the lack of ammo is just one part of the issue here..it goes beyond that. The Nigerian army needs to engage foreign mercenaries/aid/help..people who are very adept at intelligence gathering and modern warfare tactics..

This was my first comment when I heard that Baga town has been seized........before Nairaland Zombies and BMC faithfuls and the Nigerian military denied Baga was ever seized.........



People don't know that Baga hold the most significant capture to the terrorist. Baga is close to lake Chad, and any shipment or source of weapons coming from Isis/Isil or from neighbouring countries will come through lake Chad area. Capturing that part is humongous to them cos they will close the year with huge arms and ammunition from other countries. This arms would be used to attack other military Base.

I want to state a point that the moment the garrison Base of Monguno and indeed Monguno town falls to ISWA, then they will overrun Maiduguri in less than a week. Cos Monguno holds a significant Base for the Nigerian Army, if that town falls and arms and ammunition is taken by the terrorists, then even government house in Maiduguri isn't safe.
