Nigerian military must be commended and encouraged by all patriotic citizens for their inexhaustible labour in the battle against insurgency activities afflicting the country.

It is evident that the military are fearlessly neutralizing terrorists across the country based on various reports so far.

It is therefore unpatriotic for Nigerians to always blame them when fiascos occur, instead of giving them support.

The spate of success they have been recording is a clear indication that our military men are giving their best on the battlefield.

Therefore, the Federal Government should urgently equip them with adequate and sophisticated weapons and give them necessary incentives to enable them execute and complete their assignments.

They have been lamenting poor allowances. This is enough to discourage them from showing commitment to their duties. You cannot go to the battleground with an empty stomach and without settling your loved ones back home.

Procurement of modern equipment at this juncture is paramount. Though, the Federal Government is trying, it needs to do more.
