I feel like weeping for our fathers, brothers and friends but what else can we say. Duty calls. MAY God keep and protect them and also may God bring peace in Mali.

ReplyDeleteInsanity of the first order! Boko haram cannot be taken care of you are going to Mali to kill innocent Nigerians in the name of foolish big brother!
ReplyDeleteMay God be with them, amen
ReplyDeleteMay God guide and protect our army as the war would soon end .In God we trust
ReplyDeleteYou this foolish leader. You can't bring peace to your father land but you can send troop to Mali and proud there.
ReplyDeleteMr. Man, what do you even know about regional security, always blaming people in authority when you no nothing. Abi you Neva hear say Mali na the lunching and operational base for Boko Haram
DeleteWe don't even have a leader to talk of disciplined army to protect and defend our country is only God that is protecting us, abi na police chei chei dearis god oo
DeleteWish U Allah's protection through out ur stay ther!
ReplyDeleteall we av to do is 2 pray 4 dis soldiers to cum back home safely, bt 2 be frank hw proud will i be if our own nation is secured first?
ReplyDeleteSome of you guys have no common sense.
ReplyDeleteFirst of, Nigeria is never used as a training ground for boko Haram, they use places like cameroon, Niger and Mali for that, which means its important to dismantle such settings and make sure they have no safe haven to stage attacks on Nigeria.
Secondly, Boko Haram isn't holding any town or city, they hit and run, so its a long term battle, but those in Mali are holding towns and controlling it, which means they have to be dislodged.
Fighting in Mali won't diminish the fight against boko haram at home.
Morons
Thanks man. Many folks don't get the big picture. If the Insurgents in Mali are not routed out, they will establish a base close to home for training their like. It will be like giving BH a training camp as close as possible to us
DeletePlz wat is d meanin of nigerian' dat is a question 2 answer anoda day' urs pplz r dienin @ home' bt d stupid man is deployin soldier 2 mali' 4 wat
ReplyDeleteFor not crediting the source of his photos and passing them as his own, I hereby declare the guy behind this blog a thief and is no better some PDP politician.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing we have to do now is to pray for all our soldiers in MALI, may almighty ALLAH protect them, save them, guide them through out their stay in MALI and may the peace of ALLAH continue to rise their include our own father land 'NIGERIA'.
ReplyDeleteThanks ror the education! Nigerians never seen anything good in themselves!a victory at Mali is a avictory against islamic terrorists! The kind of war, they are fighting at home is the most difficult to win~ambushes&attacks! Wishing u God's protection guys!
ReplyDeleteWhen we send our young men in harms way, we have a duty to ensure that government provides correct information when they die and they are brough home for burial. Do not allow a repeat of the Abacha and IBB ecomog of burial at Liberia and Siera Leone or bringing the officers in secretly. When they come back in coffins, they must be received by the military high commands and the presidency in broad day light and not like those who died as a result of crime that are secreted to their villages for burial at night.
ReplyDeleteWe must ensure that we have adequate provision for their families and dependents. It is not out of place to announce such programs and let all know now. The least family should earn 10 million Naira. Hardly a high figure considering that it is less than a Senator's 60 days emolument without any touring allowance etc. PLEASE READERS, EXCALATE THIS ASPECT OF THE DISCOURSE. Jyde
Lai lai i no go check out lai lai i no go run away NIGERIA is my own. I salute NIGERIA ARMED FORCES. Victory is of d LORD he shall b with u AMEN
ReplyDeleteI,m proud of Nigerian Troops, go in peace, God be with you all. Amen.
ReplyDeletewhy its difficult to thrash boko haram, their member are within the military, comparing it to period of ecomog,somalia,chad invasion,sudan lebanon etc the armed forces find it smooth bcos of non insider,boko haram are the less in strength. insider makes it difficuit.
ReplyDeletePlease my dear nigerian soldiers ensure ur safety. When d war is very dangerous, use wisdom. Be assured of our prayers. None of u will die in Jesus name Amen- Ps 118:17 is ur portion. I don't want ur family and dependant relatives' financial situation to worsen. Know that only u can provide adequately for ur people. Better a living poor man than a dead rich man. As soldiers made for nigeria, I will not be disturb if u are claimed by our war but dying in other people's country is not good enough. All the Big Brother nigeria has played in Liberia, South Africa, Ecomog has only ended in nigerians living in these countries being molested. Whoever sent out our soldiers to mali should pray and ensure none of them dies there!!!
ReplyDeleteyou leave your house when de burn go de turn off your neighbour lantern. i call it misplaced priorities.
ReplyDeleteHANG ON A SECOND!
ReplyDeleteThe debatable captions say “Nigerian Army paratroopers jump off an Alenia G222 plane” and “Nigerian Air Force F7-NI AirGuard fighter jets”.
But these particular captions have not placed them in Mali. They do not read “Nigerian Army paratroopers jump off an Alenia G222 plane IN MALI” or “Nigerian Air Force F7-NI AirGuard fighter jets IN MALI”.
He has not done anything wrong because he has simply shown us pictures of the Nigerian Airforce WITHOUT NAMING WHERE THEY ARE. Having public pictures in public blogs is not uncommon. It is you that is making the assumptions which the author cannot help. A bit careless of him, but not illegal. Definitely far from plagiarism.
Meanwhile, those other pics are real because we have seen them to be so on TV.
Give the guy a break.
Beegeable, please keep up the great work. Nice one!
long live Nigerian Army. May God protect you all.

ReplyDeleteMay God guide u all and bring u back alive IJN Amen
ReplyDeleteIt's same story everytime nigerian contingent went for reagional peacekeeping, big sister role and @ de end nothing in return for the big sister politically, the francfone nation have no single luv for nigeria, you wll get to know this when it comes 2 regional poltical relevance, we dnt get any support 4rm french colonised nation. Nigerian govt should stop waisting masses tax monies for no gain wars. Also govt should communicate 2 nigerians how soldiers fared in war fronts, just like in sudan last time when rebels attacked nigerian women police based which caused severe injuries on some women but nothing like that mentioned in the media and the government kept mute on the incident.
ReplyDeleteNigeria should stop sending out our soldiers for peacekeeping to any country again unless if the govt will pay them when they returned back straight without those generals putting hands on it coz they remove some percent in each and every order rank that comes
