They have been defeated technically.

The funny thing about these killings by Boko Haram is it's beginning to look normal whenever the news comes up.

What a failed state, while the clueless president and his team will arrest and recycle members of the sect into society in the name of repentance. I remembered the active days of the Niger delta struggle how the airforce used to indiscriminately bomb villages in the name of fighting militants but now the are very careful not to kill cows grazing while the so called president is busy distributing pictures of himself picking his teeth. Gradually, the technically defeated boko haram is gradually dissipating the army...

Buhari has ended Boko Haram, built railway from Lagos to Ibadan, rehabilitated Apapa - Lagos - Ibadan expressway, built power plants in Osun state and this has turned Nigeria to one of the fastest growing economy in the world; says Yorubas, very selfish set of people undecided

This is a lie by bloggers.

Buhari is the best thing ever to happen to this country.

Bokoharam has been defeated technically.

The media is not fair to PMB government.

We will make PMB life president.

These are IPOB lies.

Buhari is the best for Nigeria all round.

Why would he be sad, was he the one that killed them? How can an enemy you claim to have defeated, continue beating you black and blue, home and away? The blood of this soldiers is on PMB an APC government head.
