Days after some Nigerian soldiers spoke with CNN exclusively and exposed what they claim is the 'rot' in the military, i.e, they buy their own kit, they are not well equipped etc, Major General Chris Olukolade, the Nigerian Defence Spokesperson took to twitter this evening to set the record straight. He asked Nigerians to ask whatever questions they wanted to know about what the Nigerian military is doing in their battle against Boko Haram and he addressed some of the things the soldiers alleged in that CNN interview. See the tweets after the cut...

its a welcome idea to have the spokesman for the military make himself available to the public to answer questions, its very good, I'm not happy about some of his response but I still like the fact he is willing to take questions.
nigeria's military is a joke tsk

Kilonso.
.he wasnt answering d questns....
I find that response "human needs are insatiable" funny.It is an open secret that the money allocated for security alone can buy smaller countries like chad.But when the money goes down the food chain of the millitary,it keeps being hijacked and before it reaches the lowest soldier on the chain,it has become stipend.so which insatiable is he talking about?He should have answered all these questions in one sentence."The Nigerian millitary has failed to protect you but we promise to do better"
Bravo

That's rather interesting, i must say.
He will never say the truth but speak in favour of the military.the truth only surface when they retire.
They re really trying o. Lets support them.

Ok. All is well
#Commenting thru Glo 4G LTE
Nice questions esp the last one dt talks abt moving in convoy.
#dtsnoneofmybiz
I respect the military and my father served in the military...He looks like an egbo smoker though#justathought
The last man@ Chinedu asked the best question
It is well
GEJ till 2019
!! BIG BROTHER SAYS SO !!
Story for the gods. #lindagiveawayonmymind
They were remarkably soft on him.
The problem is too much. The one thing I don't understand is how boko will drive in convoy, massacre people, and leaves.
Shalom in Nigeria, Amen
The only reasonable question there was d last one, chai, I want an answer to DAT...DAT guy is smart...
What we need is peace abeg. Twitter or no twitter questions and answers.

Hmmm
Rubbish!
Q&A section abi. WI'll Boko Haram still continue after d February general elections?
His tweets are totally different from the questions. He should ve released a statement to defend/ save themselves the shame d military that granted d CNN interview caused. Rubbish
SUPER STORY THINGS...Story for the gods.
If they had used the money as it was supposed to be used, then the war would already be finished. All of them have their way of chopping their own "Share" of the money when purchases are made. If you doubt me the track down a guy named Amin Ilyas and ask him where he got the money to buy his Bugatti and his Rolls Royce!!!! He is in charge of laundering their "Shares". He even went with some of the military to Belarus a few weeks ago to help them get the equipment and collect their "Shares". The NSA and the Chief of Defense Staff know him well and they are all a bunch of Thieves!!!!! They have stolen so much of the money meant for weapons and equipment for the soldiers! They should be in jail! They have cost a lot of Nigerians their lives!!!! As they say in law enforcement, follow the Money!!!!
Nice gesture but I know he will only answer the once he can,not all,......
#Linda's give away
He didn't answer even one question biko nu
Bringbackourgirls#
Well, for those who want to read lies and damage control statements please send your tweets to Olukolade or the defence headquarters. U will get abundance of it, good luck. Nigeria will regain a trust-worthy military only when the current military community is overhauled, and rid off political officers.
In fact I taya... He didn't even answer ny of the questions.
Ok ooo
Nice one frm them.
Keep it up. Job well done.
God bless our fight against BH.
He talks a lot of s**t without answering any questions. Trying to deceive Nigerians with big big English. Yeye man
He can't answer going to the simple ones
Okay oh
GREAT NIGERIA, OUR DEMOCRACY MUST GROW, MORE GREASE TO DR. GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN!!!MORE GREASE TO PDP!!! MORE GREASE TO NIGERIAN ARMED FORCES, MORE GREASE TO THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. OUR INSTITUTIONS MUST GROW STRONGER, FORWARD EVER NIGERIA, BACKWARD NEVER. MY PEOPLE, FOR THE FIRST TIME WE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF NIGERIA ARE BEING ABLE TO CALL OUR GOVERNMENT TO ANSWER TO US/OUR CONCERNS, OUR QUESTIONS. IT IS HAPPENING UNDER GEJ!!! NOW THIS DEMOCRATIC HATERS, THOSE WHO DETEST OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH ARE TRYING TO COME AND TAKE IT FROM US AGAIN. NEVER AGAIN SHALL ANY NIGERIAN BE PROSECUTED FOR HIS/HER VIEW OR OPINION. NIGERIA WILL NEVER HAVE ANY OTHER POLITICAL PRISONER, NO JOURNALIST SHALL EVER BE IMPRISONED FOR DOING HIS/HER JOB. NEVER AGAIN NIGERIA!!! WE/NIGERIANS SAY NO TO DICTATORS. NEVER AGAIN, BUHARI NEVER AGAIN!!!
The fact still remains that BH issue is a high level conspiracy against GEJ's government and soon God will disgrace them all - the group and their sponsors and rid Nigeria of these evil people.
Sir is it truth that some of NA have metamorphosed into BH ????? Linda answer me
I don't know ...
cant find answers to the questions relating to ensuring victory over the insurgents.
The Military and our govt failed woefully in protecting lives and property. The solders on battle front have outdated weaponry to fight and up till now, all he can answer is "AK47 is okay"
The money allocated for arms and ammunition, has gradually gone down the drain with no single explanation. I taya
JAIL AWAITS YOU SIR... JUST JOKING.
