“At least 90 soldiers have now been confirmed killed within the past six weeks.”
We may have to review the figures but off the top of my head, I cannot remember Nigeria losing troops in such circumstances and in such magnitude ever in our history. premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines…

The magnitude is clear but the circumstances are unique: Govt insists that we have technically defeated BH which means we’re at peace with them.
Surely, soldiers have never been lost in this magnitude ever before in ‘peace time’, while their CinC @MBuhari remains silent.

This is a Govt that directly or indirectly got funds to Boko Haram by paying ransom in dollars;
A Govt that released their commanders back into operations;
Ironically, it is a Govt headed by a retired soldier who should know better and who was elected on this particular issue.

It has never happened before in Nigeria’s history - soldiers dying unsung, fallen heroes trampled upon even further by a Govt that sacrifices their noble warrior legacy on the altar of looking good politically.
Buhari has failed not only we civilians but also the military.
Buhari has failed not only we civilians but also the military.
He who promised to lead from the front is not at the front.
He’s not even backing his troops by making sure that history doesn’t forget their names.
He is more concerned with re-election and their dead bodies are a dozen more reasons he should be voted out.
So he ignores it.

Under Jonathan and PDP, some of us took to the streets of Lagos to march and #SupportOurTroops.
I remember @gentleojay emotionally chanting #NeverAgain as we all responded.
We were prepared for his failure on economy and corruption but on security - @MBuhari has disappointed.

The highest level of Patriotism is Martyrdom and Nigerians troops must be recognised in death.
@MBuhari do the right thing: honour those who died defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria against insurgents.
Let History Remember and Celebrate the names of these Patriots.

The Beauty of History is that it is never conclusive until it can be rehashed with new information and these dead soldiers will one day be sought out one by one and named in honour.
@MBuhari sir, doing right by them isn’t only for them or is but to salvage a bit of your legacy.

@MBuhari - if you fail to recognise and honour these troops, it is only to your own discredit and dishonour as Nigeria will one day remember and honour them with the epitaph:
THE SOLDIERS BUHARI SENT TO DIE BUT FAILED TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE.
They Rest in Power ALREADY!

90 soldiers sir - in just the last six weeks.
I’m not a liberal and I understand the casualty of war and that the tree of democracy must sometimes be watered with the blood of patriots as Jefferson said.
But that their C-in-C keeps quiet is something no patriots should accept.

The Nigerian Army is the Nigerian Army, not the Buhari Army.
Buhari is Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces because Nigerians voted him into that office.
Buhari must not keep quiet about the death of 90 soldiers in 6 weeks as though they’re boys he sent on personal errand.

90 soldiers.
In just six weeks.
That’s 90 families bereaved in a war that the FG insists it has won already
- it has never happened before in these peculiar circumstances along with official silence, ignorings and denials.
We need to know them and know their names.

If @MBuhari has any Honour,
If @MBuhari has any dignity in the military uniform he once wore,
If @MBuhari has any empathy of human feeling left,
Then @MBuhari will do the right thing.
But if not, then those esteemed values are absent in him and all that can be left is SHAME.
