    MUDA FUCKERZ NEVER LOVED OF,, THE LEADERS OF THIS COUNTRY KNOW THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM..
    AS A MATTER OF FACT, ARRESTING AND PUTTING THE BOKO HARAM MEMBERS TO DEATH, WILL NEVER STOP THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING,, BECAUSE ITS TO EASY FOR THEM TO FORM A NEW SET OF BOKO HARAM AND LUNCHING THEIR ATTACKS AS NORMAL..
    THE LEADERS OF THIS COUNTRY WILL SHOULD FISH OUT THE PEOPLE FINANCING THESE BOKO HARAM, THAT IS THE FIRST TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM THIS CALAMITY.
    SOME TOP POLITICIANS SPONSOR AND FINANCE THIS MOVEMENT.
    SO THE LEADERS SHOULD STOP PRETENDING AS IF THEY DONT KNOW WHO ARE BEHIND THE BOKO BOYS.
    THEY LEADERS CLAIM TO BE SORRY AND CLAIM TO BE WORKING SO HARD TO ARREST THE BOKO BOYS,, YOU CAN FOOL THE MASSES SOME OF THE TIMES BUT YOU CANT FOOL ALL THE MASSES ALL THE TIMES..
    REMEMBER MUDER FUCKERZ NEVER LOVED US.

    FIND THEM AND DESTROY THEM..
    WITH PASSION, EVIL KEEP INCREASING,, NO PLACE IS SAFE IN THIS WORLD ANY MORE..
    UKRAINE AND RUSSIA, NIGERIA AND THE CHIEF SPONSORS OF BOKO HARAM, KENYA AND ANNUAL TERROR ATTACK, SYRIA AND REBELS, IRAN AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS, ISRAEL AND PALESTINE WAR EVER SINCE I WAS BORN. SOUTH SUDAN AND WAR REBELS.
    CHINA AND LAND DISPUTE BETWEEN JAPAN, NORTH KOREA AND HIS STUBBORNNESS NOT TO USE NUCLEAR SHITS.

    i feel so sad for the Nigerian Army and the Families of these soldiers, Despite dying to let othere live peacefully, Nigerians can't even appreciate them instead we condemn everything they do wrong. They have families, daughters, fathers, mothers , uncles and wives just like anyone else. You join the army knowing one day you may die for your country. the highest paid general in the Army is not paid unto what confab delegates earn in a month/ FACT

    I MUST COMMEND THE SACRIFICE OF THESE WAR HEROES. I SALUTE YOUR BRAVERY IN THE FACE OF BATTLE. THANK YOU FOR THE LIFE YOU HAVE LAID FOR A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT HONOR ITS VETERANS.
    I USE THIS MEDIUM TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL THE FAITHFUL HEROES THAT HAVE TRULY GIVEN THEIR ALL FOR NIGERIA. YOUR DEATH WILL NOT GO IN VAIN.
    I STAND TO REGISTER THIS CHALLENGE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THIS LAND TO DO MORE FOR THIS GROUP THAN WHAT IS BEING DONE CURRENTLY. I KNOW WHAT OBTAINS FROM THEIR DEATH IS TO LEAVE THEIR FAMILIES ABANDONED. BUT PLEASE NIGERIANS LET WAKE UP IN THE FACE OF THIS CRUELTY FROM OUR GOVERNMENT TOWARDS THIS GROUP TO KINDLY ADDRESS IT.
    LET THESE MEN IN THE FACE OF DEATH BE PROUD TO DO SO KNOWING THAT THEIR LOVED ONES ARE NOW THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT.

God bless nigeria and again why will an igbo man be commanding such squad, y not an hausa man. may the Almighty God punish that general and his wicked generation for no blood of ezekuna goes in vain....
