So far, our military personnel have done a lot to keep the country safe. We thank them for the good job they are doing and we hope that they will not rest on their oars. It is true that that they have decimated the Boko Haram sect to a very large extent but they must not relax. The terrorists will still want to carry out attacks to show that they have not been defeated. Also, residents of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states should support the military with relevant information that can help them forestall attacks. 

The military should also do their best to ensure that the remaining Chibok girls are released and reunited with their parents. This war has had a terrible effect on people in the North-east and Nigeria as a whole, and we will all be glad if it comes to an end as soon as possible. The government should continue to provide the necessary support to the military so that they can function effectively. Their welfare should be taken seriously. Families of all those who died on the battle field should be catered to, so that they do not feel abandoned.
