He just gave Boko haram orders to back out. Why hasn't the army been able to block supplies from getting to Boko haram? How did heavy weaponry like armour tanks get to The terrorist? They obviously passed through the southern states, through customs, police checkpoints,soldiers. Jonathan controls the transport routes to Boko haram. All he needed to have done was stop supply from reaching them. .for six years he allowed them to grow and only when he saw he could lose election because of that, he ordered Boko hara to back out to make him look like a hero to most voters

So Naija Army had all this might but had waited for Christian to face hell in the hands of these beasts b4 action.

It is hard to explain or is this as a result of support by Chad and Cameroon support? Or just a mere campaign push?

All the same we welcome the fact that the Naija army has finally begin to live up to their age-long no-nonsense reputation
