Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: [AfricanWorldForum] Pathetic! Boko Haram hoists flags in Monguno [1 Attachment]

Dear All;

The Nigerian soldiers have probably lost confidence in their officers all the way to the highest ranks of the military 

brass and ultimately in their Commander in Chief.

They are voting with their feet to flee the battle fronts in the face of the onslaught by the better

equipped and well fed determined and purpose driven Boko Haram fighters.

On Feb 14, 2015 the vast majority of the Nigerian electorate will vote with

their ballots to evict GEJ from Aso Rock and pave the way to a new dawn of visionary leadership in Nigeria.

Growing up shoeless in primary schools

all over Nigeria is tough, but it holds no candle to being a shoeless Nigerian and malnourished Nigerian soldier confronting the deadly Boko Haram forces at the battlefront.

If GEJ cannot contain the Boko Haram

less than three weeks before the elections, what is the guarantee that he 

could do so if re-elected for another term?

Bye,

Ola

Pathetic! Boko Haram hoists flags in Monguno

<image1.JPG>

By  Duku JOEL, Maiduguri

The battle by the military to reclaim Monguno from the hands of the Boko Haram insurgents may be an exercise in futility as fleeing residents on Tuesday disclosed that the insurgents are presently in full control of the town.

Abdullahi Jibril, who fled to Maiduguri through Gajiganna, told our correspondent on Tuesday that there is no military presence in Monguno town.

He also said residents of Gajiganna a town along the Baga/ Monguno road are also on the run for fear of an impending attack by insurgents.

"As I am talking to you now, there is no single soldier in Monguno. Anybody that is saying that there are soldiers fighting in Monguno is lying. The Boko Haram members have put their flags in the hospital, police station and the military Barrack. They are preaching in the place right now.

"I was lucky to escape after I moved my father and my mother to Gajiganna. They killed the Imam Bachila of Bakasi area. They also caught the chief Imam of Monguno town, Liman Modu, who is the most respected man in the town," Jibril said.

Hundreds of soldiers from Monguno are stranded and loitering the streets of Maiduguri after the Sunday attack on the military formation in the area.

Reports said the soldiers were denied access to Maimalari Barracks and some of them were camped at AIT along Damboa road.

Our correspondent who was at Baga road saw many stranded soldiers and other displaced civilians from Monguno, Baga and Gajiganna sitting under a tree with nowhere to go.
