He said the military has succeeded in degrading the terrorists and will sustain the tempo as the troops are motivated to ensure victory against all criminal elements.

He emphasized the need for unity among the various sister agencies as well as among officers and other ranks.

Oga, go after bandits yourself! Are you crippled?

God bless NA for their sacrificial service to the our dear nation.

God bless The Nigerian Armed Forces

There are saboteurs right under your nose sir. Until you start from them, your fight against insecurity may not yield the desired outcome

Merely looking at the faces and conditions of the recuperating soldiers almost made me shed tears. See that soldier's leg on acupuncture, see the damaged face of the other soldier, all as a result of being in the Frontline against bandits who will later be freed. The most painful part is that these soldiers has nothing to show as benefits from their sacrifice nor their families enjoying anything from it either.
May God continually bless our gallant soldiers who are genuinely fighting the course of
peace. May God also punish all saboteurs in their midst as well as evil politicians profiteering from banditry and kidnappings.

Because the COAS is visiting they quickly put bread beside the injured soldier in the second pic, after he's gone they will remove the bread I pity this country! If only the government are aware that injured soldiers buy drugs and other amenities for themselves. 10million is allocated for the family's of fallen soldiers but the hierarchy will only give the family's 400k with a tuber of yam and u called this a country? Las las everybody go get sense.

The soldiers in the last picture don't even look excited to see them. It seems they were regretting their decision to the military 🤔🤔🤔

Were you the one that quickly dropped the beside the injured soldier?

Or you were the one that sent someone to quickly put the bread beside the soldier because the CAOS is visiting.

Are you trying to tell us an average Nigerian soldier cannot afford a loaf of bread on a norm?
Yes, the Nigerian system is corrupt and our soldiers are not well taken catered for, but pls don't let us overflog the situation.

Thanks

Life is really unfair.....these ones are busy flexing life and looting funds meant for ammunition....their kids are enjoying the best of good life while the average soldiers from poor struggling families are sent to die in the hands of worthless terrorists and bandits


Are you aware that some of the top Nigerian military officers are working with the Bandits, Terrorists and Fulani Herdsmen landgrabbing killers They leak classified military operation details to these ragtag militants who then use it to ambush and kill our poor soldiers fighting the bandits. Its a very messy situation...Nigeria is in...and need a honest, uncompromised President that really have empathy and integrity to confront these anomalies among the top military high commands in order to end the insecurity in Nigeria. Looking at the poor injured soldiers brought tears to my eyes, in this life, pray for God to bless your family financially so you won't be a sacrificial lamb to other people's corrupt ambition

Give them a Better welfare package and up to date equipment to fight insurgency. That's the best way to celebrate with them

The biggest motivation that can be given to those troops is to give them a good allowance package.

Do the talk, not talk the do

Troops have been going after the bandits themselves for ages!! It is high time tactics change and COAS lead the troops from the front lines so they can see for themselves ist hand what they need to do to end the war!!

The injured soldiers look unimpressed.

Him no relocate to Benue again..?

COAS needs to lead from the FRONT...... 😊😁😂

I thought he was in Benue?

To go after Bandits and die more while you sit down in Abuja sipping tea with fat brown envelopes getting to you everyday.Troops please wise up 9ja is not what dying for.

Seems COAS doesn't know how to handle a riffle.

It amazes me that trained forces like the ever gallant Nigerian Army that's has gone for peacekeeping mission in Africa and the UN is finding it hard to defeat and crush rag tag terrorists.

Go after them with brute force and neutralize them.

He should lead them

The Major problem facing Nigeria is Lack of Patriotism..

only Sokoto?

Why do we keep wasting so much lives and tax payers resources fighting insurgency in which when we capture the bandits, we celebrate them, refurbish them, and re-habilitate them back into the same terrorized zones.

And after a few moment, they ultimately return back to the Sambisa forest to regroup claiming hunger.

What a joke of a system.

In this life, choose your battle wisely. Nigeria is too corrupt a country to sacrifice your dear life.

The average Nigerian is évíl, dubioús and dishónest.

Let me tell you. The government is not the problem of Nigeria. Do you want to know the problem of Nigeria? Take it from me - the problem of Nigeria are the masses.

FG Scam.

See as wounded ones just dey reason who send dem Nigerian Army cos e sure dem sey e don ova for dem.

Although I can't attest to the former insinuation but you see the situation in every sector is highly embarrassing
