An obviously elated and newly appointed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Marshall Alex Badeh, told the press last week that given the changes just made by President Jonathan in the military leadership, the Boko Haram insurgency would be defeated before April.
The CDS may be a fine officer, but he appears to be a bad historian. Surely, he must remember that his ultimatum is not the first. The president himself and other military and police chiefs had on different occasions given timelines for the end of the insurgency.
Any time a timeline was issued, however, the terrorists simply intensified the war and gave very embarrassing ripostes.
Let us hope that unlike the president and others the CDS will not be forced to eat his words ignominiously.

People like the CDS are apparent enemies of the northern people. They want to see the mases being continously killed without ending. If not, why can't he cds just pray to God for success in the war against BH? But rather chose to use inciting remarks by bragging that God can never accept? The thing is that when you brag, God will show you that He is theone that give success, not the cleverness or power of common individual. Better correct yourself CDS.
