Na lie

I literary want to kick a chair each time i hear Nigeria military and air force shouting in the news (we've bombarded bokoharam camps), with an imaginary fighter jet that looks like a sketch drawing. And i keep asking, why pressmen not involved in HQNigerianArmy opts. Shameless

The army cannot be trusted. What is 'national interest'? When BH are killing our soldiers?

Now after leak viral video

Let's see the outcome

Compromised Chief

SEE FINISH I won't advise my enemy to join this operation, where moles within the HQNigerianArmy leak intelligence info to Boko Haram for ambushes. Not even with the current state of grafts within Nigeria's political & military firmament. Like Pontius Pilate, I wash my hands.

A long overdue move the army needs to implement as quickly as it can to restore public confidence in it. However, when it says ‘on the condition of respecting national interest’, everyone should expect twists ‘nd turns ahead. In Nigeria, nothing is ever straight forward!

Your Mates in Chad are decimating Boko Haram Insurgents, u r here talking in the Rubbish

It’s clear their secret is being exposed, for many years they have covered their asses while they continue to sabotage the war within. Clearly Terrorism is a wonderful business. Now that their sabotages, asses are being exposed. They don’t want us to know.

Which military operation, the ones they just go to kill armless civilians.

Clearly they aren’t happy about the daily reports from the war front and how Chadian Army are destroying the BH element.

So that you can control their mode of reporting?Get sober.

If you are pure always, why give conditions I smell foul play

Hahahah, they are not happy that we are getting information about the Chadian onslaught of the Boko Haram and ISWAP in Nigeria. Shameless people.
