We massed up to go and recollect Damasak which was a blood bath back then.

The Officer Commanding called me immediately and say, Die hard please no question, I know what you want to ask.

People don't really talk about the late ABU-ALI enough.
Without him probably there might not a peaceful Nigeria today.
Because if the Boko haram Terrorists had taken over Maiduguri Metropole that would have been the end of it all.

Let me breakdown something most of you don't know.

Know the terrain but are always quick to criticize the Military.
Funny how even if you want to do proper deployment, the total number Military can't cover Lake Chad axis alone talk more of other part of Borno state and North East at large.

@obyezeks I understands these are not the best of times for Nigerian commercial activists like you especially for a woman who parade herself as a technocrat for years to get jobs. Now listen very well: According to the Global Fire Power Ranking,Nigeria has moved 7 points within
a year. In 2020 we were ranked 45 with a Power Index of 0.6485 2021 we are ranked 35 with Power Index of 0.6261.Yeah these are not the best of times especially when the #bringbackourboys project failed before take-off. Patriotic Nigerians understand your pains and we sympathize.
I know your son at @sbmintelligence will also help you to confirm these ranking of 138 countries. I also attached here with recent pictures of our soldiers and their kits to make you jealous a bit. The country is moving in the direction we predicted and your time is over. 
Today Nigeria marks #ArmedForcesRemembranceDay. We remember and honour the men and women of the Armed Forces who have paid the supreme price to safeguard the peace, security and stability of our country.
We also commemorate the operational successes of our Armed Forces in the fight against terrorism, banditry and all forms of criminality. We owe the progress being made to their unceasing gallantry and sacrifice on behalf of all of us.

1. I’m in love with the PEACEFUL REVOLUTION going on in Uganda, through the ballot.
#ThankASoldier - a 35 year-old Bobi Wine dared to dream. He dared status quo. He challenged the establishment. He has empowered young generation of Africans. For me, that’s more than a WIN!!✊

2. He is inspiring a young generation of Africans with the CAN-DO SPIRIT. Much of Africa is under occupation at the hands of Museveni & oppressive regimes. Old incompetent guards have held Africa down for decades, with support from globalists - the old system of alliances & pacts
3. Africa still suffers from suffrage (the right to vote). So the choice for young generation of Africans is to continue to Soro Soke (speak out).
Continue to lend your voices to issues affecting the continent. Stand as ONE, carry the HOPES of Africa with you, everywhere you go.
