That’s what they keep saying: boko haram has been technically defeated, the insurgents have been decimated , yet the attacks and the killings by the insurgents have not abated, they are increasing by the day

When will these stop

Get this idiot fired...what’s all this nonsense

Criminals God will judge you for prolonging this Boko Haram war

When dem go kill u gan gan nah

Amotekun is their problems not boko aram.

Its note worthy to say that the current head is a shadow of what the Nigeria army represent.due to nepotistic tendencies, he is allowed to sit, the ulterior motive is that he is guarding the crown not the life's of the citizens of this nation. Nigerians should get the Real pix

News of Nigeria getting victory over Kidnappers and insurgents : - No Comment. News of Nigeria military suffer few casualties: - Comments coming from all angles. HYPOCRITES!

Too many negative minds here. Nigeria will overcome all her enemies.

oluwaloninyo in 2020 insurgents are still killing Nigerian soldiers.I don't know why the govt still sticks to these service chiefs

Thank God for the security officers but all these are still the results of the North for badly opposing Good luck

Six soldiers,many insurgents killed; Hmmmmm,God help Nigeria.These are people fathers.Thank God my mother fasted so that I wil not be taken when I applied to join Army maybe I could have been among.I can't die for Nigeria.

Our soldiers paying the ultimate price every single day. It’s heart wrenching. Yet some are feeding fat from this war.

if any brave soldier manage to capture them alive oga at the top would tell us he is a repentant bokoram member and release him back to the society, the family of the soldiers he killed might not have been compensated but he's been rehabilitated and released, what a country!

We have lost enough oooooo. Haba. These are our husbands, brothers, uncles etc. We need help in this fight. We need Trump!!!

And this man still remains the army chief

God help, boko haram and herdsmen are really holding Nigeria hostage. They are killing both civilians and security operatives. Something definitely must be fishing 🤔

6x6=🤐... Many insurgents = None

For how long will this last? Guess you guys are really making profits from this. So sad you are just wasting our dear soldiers life. R.I.P to the dead 'Our gallant soldiers'

Nigeria has become a field where dreams and mowed and cut short on daily basis
