  1. How many times have soldiers burned down houses, cars, filling station and hotels in Northern part in retaliation for losing a colleague or more to bandits, Boko Haram and or herdsmen

  2. Nigerian soldiers are cowards and a big disgrace, go to all check points in the South East, observe their activities, you will weep, at gun point they extort money from motorist.
    You can’t be extorting money, issues “charge” (balance) to those with high denominations and be battle ready. The Nigerian Army must pay for the atrocities of it’s men.

  3. Why didn’t the same soldiers burn houses ,cars , hotels and other destruction being visited on the people of the south-east on the same terrorists called bandits that killed a brigadier general and three others in the north? What I don’t get here is , are the people killing battalions in the north different? The same soldiers are selling and giving Intel to terrorists and the bragado been displayed in the south-east is not seen in the north that has been completely destroyed. I don’t blame the soldiers, it is the useless south-eastern governors that keep selling their people out.
