Let me breakdown something most of you don't know.

In Borno state, there's no way Nigeria can cover the whole border.

If you worked in majority of those terrain you will understand.

For Instance.

There's no way you can cover the whole Abadam axis I will still find ... 1
My way out of Nigeria to Maiduguri.

There's no way you can cover the Tumbus, Kwatan or Dabans, I will definitely still find my way to Chad.

There's no way you can cover Bama, Gwoza, down to Gamboru, I will still find my way to Cameroon.

And so on.

Majority don't even ... 2
Know the terrain but are always quick to criticize the Military.

Funny how even if you want to do proper deployment, the total number Military can't cover Lake Chad axis alone talk more of other part of Borno state and North East at large.

The terrorists ...3
Are very conversant with the terrain and they know how to maneuver their way.

For Instance there's a road from Sambisa to Malam Fatori where you won't see a single soul until you get to your destination.

There's a road from Malam-Fatori to even Lagos where you ...4
Boycott both North East and North Western state.

The size of Sambisa alone can create 3 solid state in Nigeria if compared to the size of Lagos.

You won't know what the Soldiers are going through in the frontline until you have a family member there or witness ...5
It first hand.

My Prayer everyday is the safety of Soldiers fighting for the peace of our dear nation first before even praying for myself and my family.

You think we are only fighting terrorists? We are fighting lot of people both within and outside the country

But ...6
Soke folks are always quick to insult the Military.

My 9+ years experience fighting insurgency is enough evidence to tell my grandchildren about the war.

Don't ever compare these war to Biafra, Ecomog and other battles the Nigerian Military are involved in, never.

You ...7
See it first hand, not as if they will drop you letter on route you should not disseminate, no.

There are places in that region, where in hundred years to come, nobody will even notice they exist trust me.

You don't just jump into conclusion and say whatever you feel like...8
About the Military.

You sit and the comfort of your home and insult those who risk their lives for your own safety.

Funny how I don't even know my own state the way i can confidently give you the map of Borno state as bit as it is, all just to make you people sleep ...9
With two eyes closed.

Appreciate them, and always put them in your prayers.

Nigeria shall be great.

2014 nomination for a Special Operation.

Fmr COAS Lt Gen Minimah (rtd) was to lead the operation himself as the new Chief.

Trust me, you'd never want to miss those kind of operations. With COAS? We die there.

We arrived Maimalari , briefing as usual (we are Soldiers).

The following day, some Soldiers are to join us for the operation.

Funny enough, majority of them are just being nominated from their unit, that's their first time coming to Maiduguri.

One of the officer (new comer), walked up to one of my buddy , Soldier how ... 2
Are you? He answered fine sir.

Officer: sorry, have you ever seen Boko Haram with your eyes? Like physically?

Soldier: Oga don't worry, as we are going now, you will see them.

Officer was surprised.

After the Gwoza operation there comes another deadly one ALAGARNO.

Don't ever joke with that axis.

That's one location where I see the other side of my Anti Aircraft gun, it became so red that i was even scared after firing for several hours.

The last time i ... 1
Experience such was with my GPMG.

Few days after the Gwoza operation and few weeks after my death of my brother.

GOC came, gentlemen Weldon job, we are Soldiers and we can't get tired. Nigeria is proud of you, the coas is proud of you and the CinC is proud of your ... 2
Heroics.

I try to stay professional no matter what, but Obansa Pius i am not one of those Soldiers you step on their toes trust me.

You're happily married, you went to ADSS Maitama and your dad being a retired Soldier doesn't mean you know everything about the system.

I will just ...
Let it slide for now.

My tweet popped on your timeline, you don't know me.

No matter what we see, we always try to stay professional to who we are.

I never criticised the Military in way.

But you jumped to my tweet even tagging the highestu authority.

I believe if ...
You see me physically and I show you all my scars you'd shed tears.

But I try to stay professional swallow my own tears.

I fought several battles for the leave of this nation.

I was whisked away by BHT in the frontline, I came back alive with the grace of God.

My Dad ...

Serious attack was ongoing at Konduga, BHT attacking 103bn.

Distress call came in, we just come back from one a deadly operation around Gubio/Damask axis.

If you're in Maiduguri those period you should know how hostile those locations are.

Officer : ... 1
Gentlemen we are going to Konduga now order from the GOC, they are under attack.

Some of the Sldrs were grumbling i was just laughing because i know they are waiting for me and my partner in crime xoxo to talk.

Once we talk be rest assured if we are against it the ... 2
Operation is at least 70% dead.

I did not say anything because i knew they will never overpower the bn because of their resilience they don't give up.

We proceed. Few KM to the location one of the vehicle entered landmine, unfortunately we lost some buddies.

One deadly operation i can't forget was our operation to recapture Malam-Fatori.

After tough battle recapturing Kangarwa, days later another task came to recapture Malam Fatori.

Never say never then Let Col Abu-Ali briefed us and you know when he talked we listen attentively /1
I jumped down from my EagleEye went straight and request for something special which he gave me with so much joy.

They all know when Eagle is happy operation is at least 70% done with God and man😁

It all began, few km after leaving Kangarwa you know the next thing /2
Ambush and all that.

Immediately i sighted those Donkeys and Camels then i knew there's something fishy, unfortunately those who came newly to the operation were novice.

Rapid shots released from Eagle as usual, targeting the nearby trees and bushes (kangar)

Everybody was /3

Our fore father's will never forgive those sabotaging our efforts. Why will Nigerian Solders be celebrating the Victory of Chadian forces in our own territory?

Let me tell you in August 2014 i was discussing with a Chadian Soldier very close to me while we are in joint /1
Operation to flush out the terrorists across the lake Chad region, after we moved from Kaokiri, Kangarwa, Madahi, Daban masara, Duguri, down to Chuku-Hadji before Talia he told me we Nigerians are not contented with what we have, with all the Crude oil we have in Nigeria /2
We are still dragging the one in Lake Chad with them, and they know we have a strong forces they can't withstand us, and it has been a serious debate in their country how to stop us from drilling that oil.

When PMB won we met again in an operation to clear Kangarwa down to /3
