    • How many top commanders do Bokoharam have? Everyday JTF kill their top commander yet Boko haram still wax stronger than ever. Nigerian security outfit is a joke, incapable of containing this insurgency. They should learn from the west especially america inorder to effectively stop these maggots called bokoharam.

  2. Some people are just making comments on what they don’t understand. Do you know that Boko Haram has been planning this since Murtala’s time? They have commanders of 10, 20 30… 100, 1000… What FG should do to fiight boko haram and conqure them is to surender the states towns and villages where they leave and conduct jungle search with shoot aside order. I tell you Boko Haram will be a history.
