You are an idiiot.

How many bullet proof vests do boko-haram members wear?

All Nigerian troops in the field get issued with bulletproof vests, you should ask the soldier were boko-haram keeps getting resupplied and armoured personnel carriers from?

Cowards keep getting their bases overrun, and you have the audacity to blame the president.

Bro, this my comment is not due to political reasons but just think am..

Do you know that during the Boko Haram attack of Maiduguri Barracks at night early last year, according to a soldier, they discovered that their bulletproof vests are fake?
Soldiers were being killed left right and center by bullets piercing trough the vests. He called them 'China vests'.
He also narrated how Boko Haram fighters had night vision goggles but Nigeran soldiers did not have. See slaughtering!

Please do not suppress the truth. People's lives depend on it.

What do you think the Army is? You think people join the army to bully civilians only?

Nigeria does not operate a conscripts military, when you join the military you should carry out your duties, as you aren't forced to be there.

Nigerian troops were, have and never will be poorly equipped than boko-haram. They have always had the advantage over the enemy. The federal government has and continues to invest in the military.

What do Nigerian troops need to defeat illiterates, I bet if they are giving nuclear weapons they would still complain of a lack of equipment.

Have you asked yourself, where does boko-haram get the T-55, Steyr 4K FA, Otokar cobra, Mowag piranha, Streit MK3, type 88, boxes of ammo they field in their numerous propaganda videos?

You think they magically fall from heaven?

You claim it isn't a political statement, but you just couldn't help inserting political chants undecided


The manufacturer of N.A's bullet proof vest is the same manufacturer that supplies the Israeli army with their own vests.

Marom is a respected and well known vest manufacturer. They manufacture N.A vests in partnership with DICON in kaduna. DICON-Marom vests. When the army complained, the showed the army their quality control measures.

70% of the bulletproof vests Nigerian soldiers carry are made in Nigeria, by a respected Israeli company in partnership with DICON.

Boko-haram members do not wear Night vision goggles. Nigerian troops also have access to Night vision goggles, yes it doesn't go far enough but it isn't enough reason to get your bases continually overrun by the enemy. In essence we are resuppling boko-haram.

That's the official manuacturer no doubt.

But fake ones can get into the system as well.

Why do you speak like it is not possible to bring in cheaper, substandard or fake vests trough the backdoor and claim they're the real Marom? In Nigeria.

Anyway that is the soldier's tale I gave you. Do not attack the soldier as it is a matter of life and death. If you are wrong and he is right, you are unwittingly supporting murder.

Cowards? Are you serious? If you have or know anyone in the army, you would not talk this way. You sit behind your computer or phone and write nonsense while our brave soldiers are being slaughtered by a ragtag militia that should not have existed past 2011. If not for the president and his corrupt cabinet, why should we be having the same problem of unequipped soldiers with respect to Boko Haram even after TRILLIONS of naira has been supposedly spent to equip them? Who is lying? The president or soldiers? Or does Boko Haram have a bigger budget than our army?
These are questions you should ask instead of castigating anyone who is against GEJ. The amount of brevity those soldiers have in one strand of hair is 10 times greater than you will ever have in your lifetime.

When presented with the facts, you claim "fake ones can get into the system". The manufacturer has his firm's reputation to protect. Like I showed you, Marom isn't a tin-pot defence manufacturer.

Wearing a bulletproof vest doesn't mean you can't be killed by a bullet. There are no guarantees, just probabilities.

Jisos Kristi of Otueke!!!

I disagree that my point completely flew over your head. shocked

Marom is a contractor. It is not the Nigeria Army.
Contractor delivers vests to Army, Army in turn shares to soldiers.
My comments about fake ones getting into the system is in the Army to soldier part of the vest transfer.
It is easy to claim a contract money for 10,000 body vests and order for only 5,000 from Marom. Then make up the shortfall of 5,000 with cheaper fake vests from China. Someone has made money sharply.

Na Naija we wey o. What is all the high level coruption in the Miliary top brass you have been hearing about?

Abeg no make me dey explain simple things to you.
No form sharp guy just dey argue. You end up looking foolish.
