      This is just common sense, when the insurgents capture a town They fly their flag, BUT when the Army recaptures back They replace the signs and flags....

      Boko Haram violence remains a political campaign tainted with religious cause by Northern Jihadists and APC.
      Kidnap of Chibok girls was a political campaign executed to malign the incumbent government. 


      The demise of Boko Haram is the worst nightmare of APC and its disgruntled members. Too bad you placed your election hopes on the misfortune of the nation. Your ill-wish had boomeranged! Shame to you!

    Abi this is abit suspicious because those pics are not pics of Gwoza. The only evidence of Gwoza recapture is that sign board inside gutter with someone supporting it from behind.
    Someone should verify these claims and if this is indeed true then the nigerian army has definitely gone to the dogs.

    The BH are only beign repelled, they are still hanging out somewhere. If a town is recaptured how was is down by killing the BH or by chasing them away? We are yet to see corpses of BH from those captured towns and why is the NA not taking over some of the town liberated by the chadian soldiers from them? My spirit is telling me there is a big scam going on. Remember Mr president predicted that the last town will be captured on friday morning and it came to past without a hitch. Dont that speak volumes to someone?

    He is a journalist and a journalist is meant to present to the public facts and not questions.When a journalist throws silly questions that are meant to undermine the confidence and security of the people raising unusual sentiments,that we will call unprofessional.A picture of anywhere could be shown of anywhere as Gwoza and u can assume it to be true,but yet the fact that the military snaps behinds a signpost does not make them liars.Amongst the professionals of all fields the military are about the ones with the greatest integrity.They dont care about the media publicity for you to praise them.They dont make comments,make observations or make allegories to the people.All they owe you is protecting the integrity of the nation and they shut up their mouth even when they are dying in it.My dear journalist please only come out with a statement when you have credible facts and not ungrounded reasonings before you make a tweet or presentation to the public.You are a journalist and ur pen is ur tool,while their tool is the rifle.You do not take a bullet for the people but yet they take a bullet for us.respect them and give them the regards they deserve.God bless
