The angry Nigerian soldier also called out the Nigerian Defence spokesperon, Gen. Olukolade and the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, and blamed their inability to provide weapons and welfare facilities to enable the victory of the military over Boko Haram
Read more of his tweets below...
It can be recalled that Boko Haram militants yesterday seized a military base outside Baga, Borno state, near Lake Chad after engaging Nigerian troops in a fierce battle, with manyof the soldiers fleeing to neighbouring towns.
Fleeing to the neighboring country is one the strategy of the Nigerian Army

ReplyDeleteWe have to respect national integrity as a leader. A country with out a strong military is failed country. Together we can protect our sovereignty like brooms together
ReplyDeleteNig. army b patient positiv change is on d way 2015. boko haram would disapear like maitatsine
ReplyDeleteAPC at work. This won't fly. Nigerians are too smart for this game. Try harder.
ReplyDeleteLike labaran maku and doyin okupe all you GEJ sycophants will never want to hear the truth until it has entered into your very veins. Every problem is APC, that was how your leaders shouted it until you went and embarrassed yourselves in the international community. Instead of you to face the problems and solve. Shallow minded people
DeleteKeep fooling ya self that is APC you hia, no be so una talk during Chibok girls until Isha Sesay come embarrass all of una for hia. Ordinary boko haram ya GEJ cannot take care of, how will be able to take care of this economic mess he has caused?
DeleteSo u feel they are lying. Enlist with the army if you have the guts. Can you honestly tell me these soldiers are well equipped? Or that they av good welfare? When our young soldiers are sent on suicide missions, it worries me. Such things lead to mutiny and who will fight for us when external threat come up? People like u that just sits outside the box and politicise real issues facing our nation. God bless you
DeleteImposter from APC, try another waiyo or tricks, this won't fly
ReplyDeleteSycophant keep fooling yourself and your Oga. Soldiers are dying by the day, towns are being run over due to lack of ammunition. You president got aproval of $1Billion to purchase more equipment to fight the war, yet towns are still be taken over by boko haram every other week. Yet you sit here and keep screaming APC.
DeleteLets assume you are correct, why doesn't your GEJ gather enough courage and arrest these so called APC people instead of name calling like market women fighting? O sorry, he is even a woman wrapper sef, he cant even control his own house not to come and talk of the army he supposed to command.
I am sure the Army chiefs collected the $1billion from him and shared it straight in his very presence and he couldn't say a word. You want us to continue with that ehn? NEVER Mr. Sycophant NEVER will we again
The guy is not lying.
ReplyDeleteAPC is just desperate for power. Hmmm! I laugh in Kanuri language. Hahhahahaha
ReplyDeleteNigerians are not fools.! Nigerian Army takes part in well organized UN Missions abroad and excel. The same Army are left to fight without proper ammunition because of corrupt leadership at home.
ReplyDeleteInstead of fishing out those involved in these shameful atrocities and punish them, the same criminals in the Army stupidly trying to punish the poor and patriotic soldiers facing Boko Haram.
The biggest problem of this administration and its cronies is putting on lies on APC. In the end, truth comes out for all Nigerians and the whole world to see. Always the rotten leaders in the Army say "we are winning the battle against insurgency" while realities at the war fronts expose them.
History is there to judge you all!.
Anybody just makes a statement on twitter and we say it's a Nigerian soldier. A soldier who is unhappy with equipment would direct his attack to the military high command comprising the chief of army staff and GOC's who provide him with equipment and logistics and not defence spokesman and the president. And he wouldn't be tweeting" Boko Haram over runs military base in Borno" as if he was a newsman reporting what affected 3rd parties . He would say "Boko Haram over runs our base" . "Our" because he is directly affected. If your car is stolen right in front of a police station due to the police's inefficiency you don't say " car stolen right in front of police". You would say "my car was stolen right in front of police". This tweet is too fishy and smacks of dirty politics as we countdown to February.
ReplyDeleteif we don't wake up now, we may sleep forever. how can somebody accuse APC of this revelation? why can't we verify the veracity of this allegation? the guy may not be a soldier but his claims are 100% accurate. pple are still fleeing Baga in mass exodus. must we accuse other parties for our woes?
ReplyDeleteYou are in war zone Baga and instead of fighting or finding how to escape you sit down and Twitter? Go rest my friend you are not a soldier.
ReplyDeleteIt is well with Nigeria!
ReplyDeleteI wish this is not happening. I worked and lived in this area for years; how does these places turn to war zone... It was a peaceful place to live then.
May God bring back peace to Borno. AMEN
All of u calling this tweet lies and a set up are BIG FOOLS, MUMU. Maybe wen u loose a loved one to bokoharam, ur eyes will open.
ReplyDeleteIf you think Nigerian army is well equipped and taken care of, enlist in the military so that you can enjoy the goodies. The truth must be told these young men are dying every day because our leaders have failed to do the needful. Let power change hand if you love our country.
ReplyDeleteNigeria sends it's troops abroad to fight as askari's for France, Britain and the US in return for crumbs. What have all these Israeli and US advisors brought against Boko Haram? Nothing! The US tortures it's prisoners, bombs countries for booty and still it says Nigeria is not respecting human rights and therefor doesn't provide military gear. Just like during the Biafran war, Nigeria is left to fight for itself and not count on those countries that have stabbed it in the back both then and now: US, France, Israel, ... . During Biafra, they provided Nigeria's enemies with weapons. Now they are just sitting by and watching doing nothiing and looking how things unfold. Will another coup d'etat occur like it did in Mali soon before the elections and after so many military defeats in Northern Mali? Time will tell. Naija gov should get it's act together. It should acquire the best and most lethal weapons from any country willing to provide it (Russia, China, Sweden, ...) and brake BH back once and for all!
