You sound like a child of a top Military Man enjoying life in the Barack who won't smell the odour of War front ..Thats what I was able to conclude man.

That’s your conclusion or take and you’re far from been right.
Like I said the military is not everyone, And who told you that the child of top military men do not go to the war front. Guys like you just like to talk rubbish, they didn’t come to your house to come and join the military.
Let me give you a typical example of a General whose son was in the frontline; Maj Gen Victor Okwudili Ezugwu when he was the acting G.O.C div 7 his son was in the north east frontlines and I know couple of prominent Nigerians whose sons where serving in the north east, so stop spitting trash of what you don’t know.

GOV ZULUM COMMENDS NAF ON FIGHT AGAINST INSURGENCY AS CAS PLEDGES COMMITMENT TO SUSTAIN ONSLAUGHT TO ELIMINATE CRIMINAL ELEMENTS IN THE COUNTRY

The Executive Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has commended the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for his exemplary leadership in ensuring that the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE continues to play a pivotal role in the fight against insurgency in the North East of the Country. The Governor equally lauded the immense contributions and sacrifices of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) personnel in securing the territorial integrity of the Country. The Governor made this known today, 25 May 2020, while speaking as the Special Guest of Honour at the Luncheon organized by the NAF to celebrate the Eid-el-Fitr with personnel of the ATF in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. The Luncheon was held in keeping with the CAS’ tradition of spending festive periods with NAF personnel serving on the frontlines.

Speaking further, Governor Zulum stated that the tremendous efforts of the NAF in general, and the ATF in particular, in the fight against insurgency had degraded the abilities of the insurgents and gradually facilitated a return to normalcy for the people of the State. He noted that the NAF’s contributions were not limited to kinetic operations, as the Service had also been active in providing humanitarian services such as the healthcare facilities it had established at the Bama and Dalori IDP Camps since 2015 as well as the school feeding programmes that had been running in the Camps since 2016. He noted that these, along with various medical outreaches undertaken over the years, had helped to assuage the suffering of affected communities, while contributing to the enhancement of the overall wellbeing of the people.

Governor Zulum disclosed that the people of Borno State were quite appreciative of these gestures and would continue to hold the NAF in high regard. He therefore assured the CAS of the enduring support of the Borno State Government, noting that posterity would remember the CAS kindly for his selfless leadership. While requesting for continued surveillance over the Borno State airspace to enable farmers go about their farming activities during the rainy season, Governor Zulum expressed appreciation for the airlift support that had enabled him and other government officials continue the vital tasks of governance, even with the restrictions imposed due to COVID-19.

In his remarks, the CAS, while thanking Governor Zulum for the support which the NAF and the ATF had continued to enjoy from the Government and good people of Borno State, noted that, since assumption of office in 2015, he had maintained the tradition of hosting frontline NAF personnel to luncheons during festive periods because, in his words, “these get-togethers foster comradeship and give us the opportunity to commend ourselves in the duty of securing our Nation against criminal elements”. Speaking further, the CAS stressed that the NAF, working in synergy with sister Services and other security agencies, would continue to evolve new methods and emplace new strategies aimed at eliminating all forms of criminal elements in the Country. He disclosed that the NAF, despite the challenges of competing demands for resources and the COVID-19 induced lockdown, had, through pragmatic logistics planning and foresight, maintained the tempo of its operations, not only in the North East, but also in other parts of the Country.

Air Marshal Abubakar noted further that the immense contributions of the NAF, through the ATF, in the fight against insurgency in the North East had helped to shape the theatre of operation and provided freedom of action for the ground troops. He reiterated that the NAF would sustain the current tempo of operations and also advance forward based on the Key Drivers of his Vision for the Service. According to him, “We have kept the pace in training of both air and ground crews, developed the Regiment speciality to defend our Bases and increased the force structure of the Service, whilst building more accommodation and office infrastructure to cope with the growth. Our units are flying the NAF flag across the Country. The latest of these is in Lafia, where the 22 Quick Response Wing was recently activated with the injection of additional Special Forces (SF) personnel”. The CAS equally disclosed that a new Unit would soon be established in Damaturu, where a helipad had been constructed along with refueling facilities. He observed that Force Protection elements would soon be deployed to the location so that operations could commence to improve the ATF’s ability to respond to threats in the Yobe State general area.

The CAS remarked that, whilst sustaining the fight against the seen enemy, personnel must also maintain vigilance and ensure strict adherence to the guidelines and protocols to overcome COVID-19, which he referred to as “the invisible enemy of Humanity”. He said the NAF had accordingly distributed reusable face masks to all personnel and provided Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) and ventilators to the NAF Hospital in Maiduguri. In this regard, the CAS also disclosed that NAF Engineers, in collaboration with the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, had equally developed locally-produced emergency ventilators that had been tested and made ready for use, which, he said, would be unveiled during the week.

Air Marshal Abubakar appreciated the commitment of the Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari to providing the NAF with resources required to perform its assigned duties, thereby enabling the various accomplishments of the Service. He therefore urged the troops not to relent in their efforts and also continue to maintain the highest level of vigilance and combat readiness to guarantee the security of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commander ATF, Air Commodore Precious Amadi, thanked the CAS for his consistent presence in the Theatre, which, he said, was not only a huge source of motivation but a staunch indication of the CAS’ commitment to the welfare and morale of the personnel. He also expressed appreciation for the various laudable projects executed in NAF Base Maiduguri as well as those that had recently been approved. He said these had boosted the fighting spirit of the troops and strengthened the resolve of the ATF to sustain the highest level of professionalism in the accomplishment of its mission.

On the entourage of the Governor at the Luncheon were his Chief of Staff, Dr Babagana Wakil, as well as some members of the Borno State Executive Council. Branch Chiefs and Directors from Headquarters NAF as well as Commanders of NAF Units in Maiduguri were also present at the occasion in Maiduguri. Similar luncheons were also held today for ATF personnel in Yola, Adamawa State as well as for troops of the Air Component of Operation GAMA AIKI in Minna, Niger State.

It is the same everyday Nigerian that walks in the street, soldiering on and making the most of his opportunities. The market woman who goes to the market by 6am, and leaves the market by 8pm.

Not cowards like you that run away when the going gets tough.

FIGHT AGAINST INSURGENCY RECEIVES BOOST AS NAF SETS TO ESTABLISH A VIRTUAL FOB IN DAMATURU

In order to further boost the response capability of the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE to threats in Yobe State, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to establish a virtual Forward Operating Base (FOB), with a helipad and refueling facilities, in Damaturu, the State capital. This was made known by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, yesterday, 25 May 2020, while on an inspection of the facilities in Damaturu. This is just as the Yobe State Governor, Honourable Mai Mala Buni, who later accompanied the CAS on the inspection of the helipad, commended the NAF and the ATF for their immense contributions towards ensuring a gradual return to normalcy in the State.

In his remarks at Government House Damaturu before the inspection, Governor Buni said the fact that the Eid-el-Fitr Celebrations were marked in relative peace was as a result of the bravery and commitment of NAF pilots who not only conduct daring air raids on terrorists’ locations to destroy their facilities and neutralize their fighters but also respond speedily to distress calls to support their comrades fighting on land when locations in the State are under attack. He said Yobe State would remain indebted to the NAF for such commitment and would therefore continue to support all initiatives of the Service to enhance its capacity to respond to any threat in the State. Governor Buni equally thanked the CAS for his support in the realization of the Damaturu International Cargo Airport project, which he said would witness its first test flight on Friday, 29 May 2020.

Earlier in his remarks, Air Marshal Abubakar, appreciated Governor Buni for his personal commitment and tireless efforts that had facilitated the speedy execution of the helipad project. He noted that the enhancement of NAF facilities in Damaturu would reduce reaction time and ensure greater effectiveness and efficiency in mission accomplishment. He said this would even make it easier for the ATF to sustain the surveillance of the Maiduguri - Damaturu Highway which had brought some level of succour to commuters. The CAS said the NAF, working in synergy with sister Services and other security agencies, would maintain the tempo of operations with a view improving security in Yobe State.

The CAS, who was accompanied on the visit by Branch Chiefs and Directors from Headquarters NAF as well as the Commander ATF, has since returned to Abuja.

Hmmmm the story no be here oh bro. On Feb 28 2018 I was in Rann carrying out my Humanitarian activities. The next thing I raised my head up to see people running and I asked my colleague, What is happening bro? He said the locals said Bokoharam is coming

Omo I confuse instantly. Soldiers don dey hit the alarm iron dey hung on a tree. Soldiers started jumping into trench. One soldier driver said guy enter FOB oh I became confused cos I know the FOB is the target but I got no option.

Omo I ran into the FOB. See Artillery guys begin dey gym heavy boxes out with with bombs. Two white Humanitarian ladies that were with us started crying. Radio communication was going up and down between the military.

It was then the Major who was the head then told us Bokoharam and Some soldiers who left Rann for Surveillance 5Km away were under attack. Military guys started jumping into Hilux, Tata Lorries, Even the Major was holding his AK 47 and Pistol and told us he is coming that they need to teach this boys a lesson

My heart was pumping fast as I began cursing the day I accepted this humanitarian work. When the Soldiers left tho some stayed behind too in the trench on alert. Omo for over 2hours I was just thinking Why? Why?

I asked my colleague if these BH attacks here what should we do? He said he will plead with them that he is a humanitarian worker. I told him as for me I will tell the military to give me an AK oh cos my body structure no BH will believe I am a Civilian. Even if the military withdraws I will follow them to run.

After two hours we saw motorcycles coming from afar on high speed. Omo I don set to begin run self cos I said how come the military that left never used a bike and some bikes are returning. I asked an Artillery guy not too far from us is he not seeing some guys approaching on bikes? He said yeaa that they have communicated it is his colleagues coming back after killing some Bokoharam.

That is how the military returned with a 2 Bokoharam dead bodies and some weaponery.

Two days later on March 1st Bokoharam came for a revenge mission.

I never liked the Western mission in Libya right from start. And if Hafter should lose out in this game then expect the same fate in many other Africa countries. Europeans started this for their selfish gain and they should pay for it.

Truth be told, I want him to be killed in action. No arrest, No surrender.

Maybe the guy surrendered to become a spy for the terrorists. The level of radicalisation that would make one to become a terrorist field commander would ensure that you can't just give up just like that. That is the job of DSS and NIA though.
