Match never start we don score own goal.

Reminds of when Iran was posturing to duel with uncle Sam and they shot down their own plane.

However they were smart enough to call it quits.

R.i.p. to the fallen service men.

One sad reality about war is that young men get slaughtered on the alter of ego of old politicians.

ECOWAS will not see this one and come to our aid to help flush out these bandits.

Even the Niger we are squealing to drink their blood has not lost 26 men yet.

Crazy

26 heroes gone just like that.
Condolences to our fallen heros.

Illegitimate tunubu has not dealt with bandits, he is itching to go waste the lives of our soldiers in niger for his personal ambition.

Them never shout “warrrrrrrr start”

Una don dey crash by una sef

RIP to the 26 soldiers I pray God console your loved ones left behind

who knows if the helicopter has been malfunctioning for a long time, budgeted money to run the military and paramilitary institutions always ends up in the pocket of a few fat fellows in the institutions.. judgment day is getting close, when all men will for their evil deed.

Nigeria wey dey push plane to start for airport

E get wetin dey work for this country?

Don't they gather intelligence before lunching out into enemy territory?

I mean...they have the facilities, they have superior air power for reconnaissance missions, they have fully equipped situation rooms where they can hack into the enemy's communication system and know their next move.

So why is this battle with bandits, Boko Haram, terrorists, kidnappers taking forever to end?

And why do Nigerian soldiers keep getting slaughtered like chickens?

Rip to the dead.

That plane looks primitive aaaaa. Naija, which way naaaaaaa.

Another scam loading!

God rest people. Who ambushed it? So many problems bedevilling this nation. The figurehead balabloo-blu-bulava microphone head lacking druggie should better stay off Niger Republic matter for now. So sad!

Na dis outdated aircrafts Tinubu wan use fight war 😂😆😂

What a loss!!


Ambush? In this era where drones can be used to gather information.

Lack of intelligence is killing Nigerian military.

Quite unfortunate;I wonder how many of such outdated helicopter we have in our fleet n gearing for attack with..

I lost a friend too
