Scary country. How can terrorist ambush military vehicle if they don't have insider that relates information ?

Oh my God

It still baffles me why our people have refused to leave this FG (Fulani Government) Army. They can only send you to their gallows controlled by their lieutenants BokoHaram while they send their 'integrated' to kill your people. Their cleansing agenda going on

Until people understand the relationship between boko haram, bandits and Fulani people, they will continue to say that buhari is incompetent.

This is already showing us that we are not safe in this country this is proverb for who has ear to hear .

Zoo called Nigeria has happened to him.

What if e go teach them some strategy

He’s an Igbo man I don’t think he will come back alive honestly.😭😭😭😭

Soldier go, soldier come

Dismissed court took him back and u now set him up yeah? God will help him come back alive, pls leave this complicit armed forces when god frees you.

Still Taraba is quiet, no killing of Taraba youths, but IMO, hell will let loosed.

It's a good one. D Nigerian military are only saddled with just one crucial responsibility, dat is... SECURITY, but d fact dat d have failed cannot be over emphasised. D rather chose to play politics, now they themselves are not safe. What a country... its really so cold outside.
