I am not surprised seeing this post from an IPOB apologist. There is no army of any nation that can not suffer a setback or defeat in the battlefield. The Almighty Russia is presently facing an embarrassing defeat against Ukraine. America suffered the same in Afghanistan etc. This is a half story. The armoured tanks got stuck in the mud and had to be abandoned in the midst of heavy gunfire in order to save their lives. The problem predated Tinubu. Their son, Buhari, was in power for 8yrs and couldn't do anything to tackle the banditry. Why blaming someone just little above 1yr in office.

You have always stood on the wrong side that's why you don't always see the good side of Nigeria and her military, but you are a Nigerian too, you can join the military and show them how to be a good personnel cum citizen.

Edit; I know this happened in Niger, you all should understand sarcasm and the fact that we should now use every ironical situation to let the international community know about human rights violations and civilian abuse in southern Nigeria.
.
And for haters...I am Yoruba and will always support Mr. President and the development of Nigeria as a Nation... so don't politicize it.
.
Even if Ghanaian military are ambushed then Nigeria as ECOWAS leaders should go set up military bases there....since they now take over functions of every one including the police and the civil defence. Not to even mention that Nigerian forces are active in all ECOWAS borders with Nigeria. Smh
The military won't flex muscle here cuz' it's the north. They only remember they can shoot when there killed in the south or assaulted by civilians. Shame on all corrupt military leaders in Nigeria. Lazy weaklings only good with assaulting helpless civilians.
.
Randomly pic 100 soldiers from Nigeria and bring them to the creeks in Lagos, Benin, Warri, etc and make them go one on one in boxing with boys in the ring. The soldiers will lose every time.
.
Their poor training shows in their judgements and inability to deal with terrorists.
.
They are fast turning Nigeria into an animal farm and I hope they won't end up waking the sleeping giants in Nigerians.
.
As powerful as the Egyptian Military is, when the Egyptians decided they've had enough the military was totally helpless...and the population of Egypt is nothing compared to that of Nigerians.
.
People are kidnapping and killing Nigerians in the north but these organized criminals in uniforms are dancing python and assaulting people in the south. No transparency...even the governor was saying 'some of those things cannot be revealed publicly' if soldiers were killed and civilians are now being assaulted why can't the whole processes be totally open and transparent?
.

Nigerian soldiers can whip and beat 80 years olds, pastors, imams on their asses and even frog jump them. It's what we have all seen before. No respect for Nigerians... And in Russia with all the trainings and rogedness of their soldiers they treat civilians and foreigners like me with care and admiration.
Imagine a 7ft muscular bald tough-looking Russian soldier in uniform telling a black 5'9 man like me "Sir, did you also arrive on the same flight UTair With me?" -Yes. "Then you are standing at the wrong place. Our baggages will come from that second roller" (point of view. He noticed as a foreigner I had problem reading the instructions in Russian and thus stood at the wrong place for my baggage)
.
I will be honest. No one has ever respected me that much in Nigeria. And I can bet that No Nigerian soldier nor police could be this gentle even with their own citizens.
.
I have always maintained that the rot in the military and the police force is the biggest problem of Nigeria from assault on junior officers and ridiculing of civilians, flouting of court orders and torture, bribery, extortion, manipulation of court proceedings, intimidation and implicating people you need to step out of Nigeria once to realize the level of backwardness we have in so many sectors.
.
Nigeria has all the military apparatus to defeat Boko-Haram we just need to change our orientations about a lot of things and the most important one is interaction with civilians, synergy amongst military forces, respect for culture and cultural leaders.
.
Again for those quoting me, you forgot Nigeria was almost going to be involved in a military action against Niger then we backed out. But now we are involved in a military action against our own brothers from the south.

Killers and murderers should be made to face the book but transparency matters otherwise you can't tell me civilians are not being killed unjustly.
.
God bless Nigeria and God bless the president to make the right decisions in the face of Northern and military pressures.
