An attack on my hometown Mubi is immaterial - Chief of Defense Staff

Reacting to reports that Boko Haram men attacked and seized his home town, Mubi in Adamawa state, the Chief of Defence staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, said an attack on his village does not mean the military is helpless. He said its immaterial if it was his hometown that was attacked as the attack could have been on any other part of Nigeria and it would still have affected him as Security Chief.

Mr Badeh made this remark while speaking to newsmen after the National Council of state meeting at the Presidential villa in Abuja yesterday.
"How can Nigeria be helpless? If the CDS loses his hometown, its the same thing as losing Lagos, its the same thing as losing Enugu. Any part of Nigeria that is lost, CDS carries the weight. So its immaterial, whether its my hometown or my house that is burnt or Emeka's house, or whoever's house that is burnt in Nigeria, the CDS is pained".

    This guy should shut uo already.He thinks we are not aware that he packed his family outta mubi four days before the attack? It is an open secret that only the common msn in Nigeria dies miserably in the hands of cowards like BH.But there's no problem.With every attack we get wiser and just very soon people will start fighting for their survival.

    Honestly, the Nigerian military is handling this insurgency issue with kids gloves. Mr. Commander in Chief is in Burkina Faso making peace while Mubi and possibly other villages in the North are being stampeded by these faceless terrorists. God save Naija.

    It is a shameful thing if the people that are meant to protect the life of the civilians can say this. What then should we expect if after Chibok girls, Alamesia's son and the the rest of others who have lost their lives in this country? God will help us as He is our security.

    Why do we keep having this kind of people in sensitive positions, I can't imagine a right thinking person saying it's immaterial, gosh, I throw my cap for America, the man would have resigned honourably but her we don't have sense of dignity.

    God help us... the kinda unchecked utterance this ignoramus in sensitive posts pour from their mouth is appalling. God gave us 2 ears to LISTEN more, 1 mouth to speak less, 2 hands and legs to act more.

    senseless incompetent so-called-leaders.
