Boko haram has been emboldened somuch by the government style off dealing with terrorists, no wonder they can conveniently attack militry formations and base. They use to attack soft target but now they attack the militry more. Wat an indication

Time shall come when airports in this country will come to a stop or pay ransom to Fulani Bandits for plane to Land and Take Off!! Soon. All these will happen in our very eyes and the government will do nothing. The Government emboldened them by its actions and inactions. Finish

Ok

Sad

Even despite Buhari's Audio warning this people are not bothered they still go about with their killings

How these criminal elements go about these their daily menace in the north with the might of the HQNigerianArmy still eludes my thinking.
