Nigerian military begins airstrikes in Sambisa and parts of Gwoza

The Nigerian military says it has started airstrikes on Sambisa Forest and parts of Gwoza in Borno state. According to a statement posted on the Defence Headquarters Facebook page, many Boko Haram members have been killed as a result of the airstrikes. The statement below
A concerted air campaign by the Nigerian Air Force is ongoing in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves. The air strikes which today targeted the training camps and logistics dumps of the terrorists in Sambisa forests and parts of Gwoza have been highly successful as it achieved the aims with required precision.
The death of a large number of terrorists has been recorded while many others are also scampering all over the forest and out of the struck bases. Details of casualty will be determined in subsequent phases of the operation. Meanwhile, the strikes continue in other locations of the theatre heralding the advance of troops and other elements of the mission

    For years, America bluntly refused to sell weapons to Nigeria despite our country's battle against Boko Haram
    America did not stop at that, they commandeered their allies, namely the UK, Israel, South Africa, among others, into rejecting Nigeria's pleas for weapons supply...
    Lately Nigeria would turn its attention away from its traditional friends (US/UK) and looked towards Russia...
    Pronto! the weapons, the military hardware came in large numbers from Vladimir Putin's land....
    And the bloodbath is now being turned against Boko Haram and their APC sponsors!!!!
    According to Bishop Emmanuel Badejo of Oyo, Nigeria, and others in the know, Obama took the tough stance against Nigeria because Jonathan repudiated US/UK entreaties for Nigeria to yield to the homosexual agenda being advanced by Obama...
    To add salt to injury, Jonathan signed the anti-gay bill into law despite US entreaties...
    And incensed Obama went up in flames...
    Thus you'll hear American diplomats parroting that the reason they bluntly refused to sell weapons to Nigeria is because of Nigeria's human rights record!!!!!!!!!!!
    How ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!
    Any way, we know that the new face of human rights is actually GAY RIGHTS!!!!
    If America were God!!!!!!

    Linda, its unfortunate the kind of people u have here in ur blog. You need to leave this gossip tin alone and educate ur people, u are breeding negative minds here pls. How can the same people complaining that Gej and nigerian military are not doing anytin to eradicate this boko haram menace from our society be the same people complaining now that we are making progress, some saying that its politics,must we politicize every tin in dis nation haba. Abi u guys don't won't boko to go again. Instead of praying for the peace and safety of this nation you guys are here ranting. Do u know anything about terrorism, even the US with all there powers haven't been able to defeat terrorism. How many years did it take US to kill osama bin ladin. More than 8yrs. The hardest people to fight are people that are ready to die for wat they believe in, faceless people. So defeating boko haram is not dat easy, the military needs time to study the situation. Let's just pray for dis nation and its leaders. If we use the energy we use in abusing the government and pray for them, things will change for good. Its only God that can change this nation not man, even Apc so called change na wash, they stole the slogan *change* from obama. So let's us pray period. Bible said pray for ur leaders. Thanks and God bless Nigeria
