and what are the Insurgents armed with you dimwit, machine guns?

omololu2020:
y don't u go and join the nigerian army and see ao easy it is.mtcheww

are you really ths daft?...what sort of weak argument is that? did anyone force them to join the NA? of course they knew what they were getting into when they signed up to join...the army life is no joke,its live or die fighting for national and territorial integrity and pride, and every soldier is expected to know this before joining even the academy. I can understand that soldiers are also humans and are entitled to certain emotions like fear which is normal..but common,when you are well equipped and kitted you are expected to stand your ground against any opposition...much less a ragtag bunch of teenagers, there is no damn excuse why a full battalion of supposedly well trained soldiers and officers should desert a position to teenage gun totting insurgents,worst of all abandoning large military equipments to your enemy!!! the Cameroon soldiers who repeatedly make a mincemeat of BH attacks on their territory don't have two heads,neither are they better equipped or superior to the average Nigerian soldier..but there is something called FIGHTING FOR NATIONAL PRIDE.

lets be clear on one thing,Nigerian army has never OUT-RIGHTLY won any war, even the so called Biafran victory was a farce if one looked at the underlying realities,USSR/USA/EGYPT/CAMEROON actively won that war for Nigeria,and not to mention the starvation policy which sealed the Biafran fate like a death knell of some sort...current events are surely proving me right..a ragtag bunch of teenagers overwhelmed and sacked a whole battalion of Nigerian troops and captured a town right under their watch..even going as far as capturing the home town of a top ranking officer , if our so called top defence and security echelons are not ashamed of this,then I don't know what else can make them bury their heads in shame.

berem:
willywilly,listen to me before you become a boko haram sympathizer!
There are so many Igbos living,schooling and doing business in Mubi town. Some minutes ago,my sister-in-law told me that a church member of hers who is Igbo has lost two of his brothers in the Mubi attack and his sister is still missing. In fact,many Igbos have either died or are missing right now.
Stop sympathizing with boko haram thinking its only the northerners that are being affected by the insurgence.

call me an apathetic scum but any Igbo who still stays in any part of the NE...deserves no form of sympathy,and what economic buoyancy can a crisis ravaged axis offer any sane business person?

Arch1:
A large portion of the Nigerian territory is in the control of insurgents.

point of correction NORTHERN NIGERIA.

welcome to the club dude,got mine over a month ago...

so of all of a sudden Nigerians now love Keshi? all I see here is nothing short of hypocrisy...this was the same Keshi everybody here was literally crucifying and calling for his sack,I can't begin to imagine the type of insults that were hurled at Keshi,now Keshi is now some sort saint who was unfairly hounded away from his post as coach. Nigerians have to be the most confused set of people you can ever meet,una too much.

well..Lagos is NML

shymexx:
Only when the war becomes complex, and there is desperation. Even with that, they lead from the rear.

However, this is an insurgency, and they are using battalions, which should be headed by Lt Colonels. And in no place did the article state anything about the alleged General running. He was just accused of poor leadership, perhaps due to the corruption in the Naija Army and he deserves the court martial treatment for putting the soldiers' lives at risk.

You lot need to stop this nonsense of creating misleading titles. And it is also poor journalism from whoever the source is, for citing the part of the country the General is from, when his name can't be mentioned for obvious reasons.

yeah this post sure has the blueprint of disingenuous bigotry written all over it,I don't even have to be yoruba to notice it...reason why I highlighted the most unnecessary part of the post.

seems I have been sleeping on Mozambique babes sha,exquisite sceneries btw

shymexx:
Stark illiterate, did you actually read the article, or just jumped to conclusion after reading the misleading title?

So, in your obtuse mind, Generals in the military fight on the frontline, or the alleged person here is being accused of not providing proper leadership for the troops.

And when the same Yoruba Generals like Adekunle the Scorpion starts killing you fvckers now, you will start shedding emotional tears everywhere about genocide. Scandalous primeval slut and a stark illiterate.

yeah Generals lead in the frontline sometimes,especially when psych-ops like situations are involved to bolster the morale of the troops...the mere presence of an high ranking officer at the front(not necessarily to engage in any combat) could prove useful.

Caseless:
as bitter as this report taste, u still quoted everything to make matter worse.
U need help.

do you have a problem with that?

imakulate:
ABUJA—There were indications, weekend, that the Army High Command has ordered the arrest and detention of a Brigadier-General attached to the 3rd Division of the Nigerian Army (names with-held) over allegations of negligence that gave Boko Haram terrorists an opportunity to overrun some communities in Borno State recently.
Vanguard gathered that the senior officer who hails from one of the states in the South West, was the officer coordinating the military onslaught to dislodge several Boko Haram terrorists from Bama, Gwoza, Madagali, Michika and other communities in Borno and Adamawa states that later fell into the hands of the terrorists.
The General was accused of providing poor leadership and failed to instil confidence in the soldiers, resulting in several soldiers allegedly abandoning the fight against the terrorists while several of them lost their lives.
According to the source, when the Boko Haram insurgents came in full force to attack Bama,some top brass of the unit offered no resistance by running into the bush.
The source disclosed that the insurgents entered the Brigade Headquarters and Armoury freely and carted away vehicles and Tanks.
President of the Court Martial, Brigadier General. Musa Sain Yusuf after the Inauguration of Court Martial to try soldiers accused of mutiny tasked with fighting Boko Haram militants in Abuja on October 2, 2014

Vanguard was told that some of the commanders were rescued from the bush by a battalion deployed at Konduga, which was stationed about 15 kilometers behind Bama, the last deployment before Maiduguri.
The Military high command was said to be furious that the insurgents after taking over Bama and killing hundreds of civilians ransacked the armoury with no soldier offering resistance, leaving the insurgents to have a free day.
According to the source; after seizing the equipment at the 21 Brigade Bama, the terrorists used the same weapons to attack the infantry battalion at Konduga but met their waterloo where hundreds of the Boko Haram insurgents were killed.
The source added that the 21 Armoured Brigade which had several armoured tanks could not withstand the battle that was later decided by less than 400 infantry soldiers in Konduga.
It was further gathered that after running away from Bama, some top brass of the brigade and about 800 troops went straight to Maiduguri instead of joining the troops in Konduga to repel the attack.
To face court-martial
Vanguard gathered that a board of inquiry is investigating the conduct of the officers for acts of negligence among other offences.
Military sources further told Vanguard that Boko Haram terrorists were not really better armed in the terror war but rather leadership of troops on ground has been discovered as a problem that needed to be tackled.
Giving an instance, a source said: “Commanders of troops are supposed to lead soldiers from the frontline but what we discovered is that most of the commanders operate and give orders from the rear.
“If not that our soldiers are rugged and know that the Boko Haram terrorists could not match them professionally, what we are seeing today would have been the opposite. Actually, when terrorists see soldiers coming, they run for their lives, but due to poor leadership, the back-up arrangements are not activated. When soldiers therefore run out of ammunition and the terrorists regroup, soldiers will have no other choice than to retreat”.
The source cited the successes recorded severally in the battles to take over Konduga as the perfect way the Nigeria Army operates, noting that even though there were four different attacks with heavy weaponry, the army was able to defeat them and recovered stolen weapons.
Military extends restriction of vehicular movement in Maiduguri.
Meanwhile, the ban on vehicular movements in Maiduguri, which was to last from 5 pm last Friday till 7 am today has been extended till tomorrow. The ban was imposed following intelligence reports that Boko Haram terrorists will attack mosques, markets and other public places during the sallah period.
A statement by the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations of 7 Division Col. Sanni Usman, said “all necessary security measures are being implemented, while members of the public are hereby requested to comply fully with this embargo as defaulters will be severely sanctioned”.
He said, however, that workers on essential services such as hospitals and fire services with clear identification are exempted from the restriction.
Colonel Usman then advised members of the public to report any suspicious movement of persons or vehicles around their environment to the nearest security agencies.

Omololu007: are u now sayin d nigerian army lost more dan 60,000 soldier in d war.

Militarily, the Federal side lost far more personnel than the Biafrans,we can even argue it was on 3:1 ratio if real records of the war casualties were anything to reckon with. Biafra lost more civilians since they were relatively easier targets for the Egyptian piloted war planes.

Those poor girls will never be the same again,one can't imagine the psychological and physical horrors they had to endure in the hands of those bastards...the govt had better put them through a rigorous rehabilitation program to re-orientate them to the normal society again.

This Cameroonians are either too mischievous with their attention seeking propaganda/ lies or just plain daft and ignorant about distinctive geography and common sense...Konduga is not even a border town with Cameroon...it is located almost in the heart of Borno state with a few mile radius from the capital,so how the hell did the whole crock about "killing" Shekau come about?

Typical ghanaian slave mentality,their kenkey economy is fast crumbling and sinking into doldrums that even IMF is tired of bailing them out yet again,yet this deformed midgets still bother themselves over irrelevant thrash like the queen and English accents...who gives a bloody finger what the queen thinks? and of what business is this intellectually derailing topic to NL and Nigerians when we have far more important issues to deal with...sometimes I wonder why we Nigerians are so nice and annoyingly diplomatic with this insults from this inconsequential roaches that fight hard to pinch us,on a good day if hard core moderation was anything to reckon with,thrashy topics like this shouldn't be allowed to survive the break of dawn...just another waste of space.

Legend

This explains why BH and their indefatigable leader Shecow have been very quiet lately,so untypical of them...they sure must be licking their wounds,meanwhile the NA and the CJTF should continue to hold their forte,and reinforce their grounds with solid infantry and mechanized firepower should they decide to go on the offensive to clear remnants of those irritants once and for all. The best days of the terrorist sect are gradually over,but the war is far from over...we shall surely overcome.

vicadex07:

Oh boy this goes beyond losing an argument,I just couldn't help but fix the blunders of that dunce, to think that the underachieving scum has younger ones who look up to him as a role model makes me cringe in disgust and Pity...I have ready sealed his fate-doom,and it will take more than any deliverance to break it...his destiny is now in my hands like a scroll embedded in inscriptions of blood,he is an era of fatality.

papparatzzi2013: Product of ogbanje molestation of your worwor fugly mother, when was the last time your slut of a mother showed who your father was? Like mother like bastard son.

May your lineage never know peace
At a tender age, all of you will always go to the world beyond.
The best of your lineage will be a personified edifice of abject poverty and wandering in life.
You and your entire household will never amount to anything in this life and even in the life after.
If your blessing is meant to be delivered to you and your lineage tomorrow, you will wander off today.

Were omo jatijati.

My nyggah is highly pained Lmaooo,so bad I'm way above your radar...typically I don't expose my little profile,but here is a little synthesis on my humble self...medical student doing his internship at age 24 in a prestigious Ivy league school here in the states...three siblings of mine all practicing professionals...two doctors one pharmacist...can your redundant a.s.s replicate a quarter of my achievements in your entire life span? your guess is as good as mine,but while you ponder on your fate, just know you are the next recipient of a death mail...in the most painful and excruciating way at that...before the month runs out,your fortunes will run out,dry up,and leave you in a shriveled state...people will pass by your emaciated frame helplessly sprawled out in the streets,and your enemies will toss coins of mercy at your state of melancholy and deprivation...all this will take the form of a sequel in your life,before a 6 wheel haulage truck finally ends your misery by crushing your bones and sinews of tendons/ligaments into a bloody heap of gore...I sympathize with your brother...rest in " peace" when the hour comes...for now keep basking in your little decrepit world,this will be my last post to you cause I have far better things to do with my life and time, and this might be the last I'll see you mention me...adieu mate.

mrham03: u know sometimes am even confused myself. We ghanaians are generous and loving people, because of this nature we tend to help and we neglect ourselves but its time we started putting ourselves first

ghanaians suffer from low self esteem,it reflects in how they think.

Lol they wouldn't even dare it if they had such opportunity staring them right in the face, I understand the " Ghana must go" stigma is still plaguing our vertically challenged swarthy "bredas" but abeg,they will need to do more than stooping low to conquer...we sponsor a fair share of their economy including their football local league...if nah lie I dey talk ask Glo or Adenuga

papparatzzi2013: This product of back alley gang molestation, I repeat, you are an unwanted mistake and a liability to human race.

The last time I checked, your IQ is sub par to imbecil1ty

You were either not taught properly or you refused to learn. We will teach you on NL.

You are just starting. This is just "hello chief chief" testing mic for you.

You are getting boring jare,go reshuffle your cards! Since your destiny begins and ends on NL..., May you never get any better than you are now you pathetic dreg of the society... Your lineage will always tow the lane of mediocrity, and stigma shall be the stamp on their destinies, your mates are out there garnering accolades of notable achievements,you dey here dey languish on NL; better go find that river where your wretched mother dedicated you,cause chances are that she washed away your destiny to some strong marine spirits...seek that old hag you call a mother and shoot her dead son...cause you will never grace the path of elevation in all spheres of your accursed life! standard bastard, reply or quote Mr again if your mama no born you well.

papparatzzi2013: ..... and the bastard son of a slut, keeps vomiting thrash.

I am sorry for whoever is calling you a son. You are a mistake, that ought to have been washed away with sanitary pad.

Copy that m0ron.

Sorry for your pathetic self, now geez off you child of circumstance,biologically distorted specimen,son of a wretched mother.

papparatzzi2013: ........the red mud tinted brain keeps spewing thrash. I repeat you are a world class buffoon.

We will teach you how to respect the view of others. NL is a class for mofos like you that lacks home training or that refused to imbibe the training.

Go ask your wretched mother for re-orientation and training, you nearthandal freak of nature.. bloody slob, at least I have a brain...you just have big head with no brains, a freaking load to the neck.

papparatzzi2013: ...... and the ranting of a demented brain via his odoriferous buccal cavity continues.

Whenever a roll call of buffoons are called, always ensure you are number 1.

If you are not thought how to respect divergent views, from the tree top you came down from, we will teach you on NL and send you back to the useless person that tutored you.

Respect the view of an inherent dunce? Nyggah your intrepid daftness is quite admirable I must say Lmao, just imagine your incongruity...who in his right mind will deduce any sense in what you wrote up there? " ranting of a demented brain"...does a brain rant ? "via his odoriferous(another ambiguous use of words that lack the ideal substance of context) buccal cavity" stupid dunce I'm not verbalizing my stance with my mouth, I'm" obviously" using my phalanges to type the thoughts my brain processed.

papparatzzi2013: U

See this descendant of Cain. You are clearly a dumb and hollow head, with H2O being the constituent of your vestigial brain.

Showing your folly and not agreeing with your view is now a crime? It is another clear sign of y1bos --- we are always right -- even in their doro-f00lishness.

Ode,for your mind you are making sense? Using words in misplaced context makes you nothing short of a victim of some degenerative disease,do you even know what vestigial means...you worthless piece of work, prototypical product of a flawed system.

papparatzzi2013: Can u hear yourself, in the usual "we are always right" y1bos mentality, others aspirations of self actualization is an.act of insurgency and it is misguided and your own is justified based on self preservation.

This is why Igbos always ridicule themselves. How is your post different from the mistake of 1966 of killing the leaders of others and telling us the b/s story of angel Michael protecting yours.

Shaking my head.

You are clearly too dense to articulate simple distinctions in argument,so its pointless making you appear more stupid...dunce.

And what's with the Ijaw habit of dragging the entire Niger Delta into their orbit of insecurity and delusion? cuz last time I checked there are many tribes in the Niger delta capable of making decisions for themselves...if Ibibio's,Annang's,or Efik's decide to support Biafra...I hope the Ijaws who are just as inconsequential as they could ever be, wouldn't dare jump in and start sh.it.

papparatzzi2013: What were you looking for on another man's soil?

What free and fair referendum gave you the right to drag non-igbo speaking areas into your hallucination of a country bearing Biafra?

Why did you not keep your Biafra to your Igbo speaking areas?

Why did Irons quelled the declaration of Independence by Ijaws?

Isaac Boro remains a hero and we will continue to celebrate him, though he was assassinated by rebels.

Ironsi crushed a insurgency not a declaration of independence as you naively allude...Isaac Boro led a team of misguided schoolboy bandits on a suicidal movement to usurp the oil rich areas of the Niger Delta when the first republic was barely recovering from a coup,his so called kiama declaration clearly had the blueprints of a modern way avaricious Militant...Biafra on the other hand was born out of a genuine act of self preservation following the generic massacre of Eastern Nigerians(Ijaws inclusive)in the North, in the events leading to the declaration of Biafra,the feeling in the East was that of secession...and this was heightened by the feelings of insecurity that plagued the region at the time...Ojukwu was forced by a consultative assembly of Eastern Nigerian chiefs drawn from across the region and mandated him to declare Biafra...the whole feeling was of unanimous solidarity,until Gowon created dichotomy my his twelve states creation,that pretty much won the minority areas over...they foolishly allowed became tools to the greed of oil annexation by the Nigerian govt...who could care less about some Ijaw minority fighting against Biafra...the crux of the whole war was OIL.
