Like the new vehicles. Look well made. Borrowing from a comment here, let them pass through 'Bush break' to iron out shortcomings. In other news, how do we not already have counter battery radar going by previous developments? Terrorists have launched mortars at FOB and GRADS at Maiduguri now without precise responses. |

He's a masterful thief who's used state resources to effectively capture and install his puppets everywhere. Pray tell his enduring legacies out of which he's instilled touts into the master plan of Lagos. |

Could have utilised an 'African orchestral' sound rather than a Tchaikovsky-esque sound . Examples are Soweto Gospel Choir or borrow from Hans Zimmer's attempt at African sound like in Tears of the sun. Alternatively, songs such as Baba Yetu would have been great. Leans too heavy on Western traditions for something called 'A Naija Christmas'. 1 Like |

The level of ignorance by the Governor of the current dynamics in the North West should make residents of Delta state worried. Let them continue to share spaces on roads, farms, et al with livestock as if we have enough. |

How much were they paid exactly that's worth canvassing for that corrupt charlatan? For example, How many actors have we seen soliciting for funds to go India all because governors like Tinubu looted treasury meant for healthcare and such to stupor? 1 Like |

Good stuff all around. Quite a couple of hardware last few months. What about those Innoson versions, haven't seen them in a while. |

kabe1: Most people know Proforce's story. The CEO wanting to work with a defence company in the ME, was rejected and later swooped all the employees to Nigeria when the company went bust. Before them, they were others such as Obasa Specialty. The former benefitted from their superior grade of their finished articles and manufacturing just at the right time for the government to patronise them. If you left most Nigerians to it, they'll explore well trodden paths or copy other already thriving Nigerian businesses. Without a form of subsidy to private companies, most might not scale past the hurdle in a tough unsupportive environment or attain a capability to produce quality hardware. We also lack many supporting industries to make manufacturing easier. We need to have already had an 'Engineering conglomerate'. Special attention would need to be paid towards STEM subjects. We can leapfrog to an extent by sweeping up experts from around the world but how long could we sustain it without a technological base. About DICON, I don't know what the isuues are, but here's a good read of a succesful government (Singapore) run defence organisation . https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/26461969.pdf 3 Likes |

When the American army moved into Afghanistan, acts like this occurred before new rules of engagement were created to adapt to current realities of asymmetric warfare. We have been doing COIN training for quite a while, not sure if this is implemented in the NA. 1 Like |

Lurker4Long:Inadequate infrastructure means cost of production is quite high. Few multinationals are willing to stake a gamble in environments like that. Even though there's concerted efforts for efficient taxing, a tax base consisting of a large informal workers/economy would struggle to generate adequate funds. 1 Like |

DubaiLandLord3: There should be incentives (monetary rewards or otherwise) by the government leading to the capture or identification of these gun men especially when they show their faces on videos. They've caused havoc for far too long and are no less than deranged terrorists/fanatics. Stormtrooper11: Misconception is that Nigeria is wealthy. For one, its population is oversized but not as productive. Look at our education or health budget for example. Even before releasing funds (some of which gets stolen), it is barely enough to adequately cover a quarter of the states. All stolen funds recovered have barely made a dent on our infrastructural needs. Example :Germany's health budget for 2019 was 410 billion Euros which is our entire Federal budget for the next 7+ years. 8 Likes |

The American Bradley has the same form factor with a BMP. Uparmored, RWS and all the other shebang. If R&D was a thing for Nigeria, we could have effective 'battle taxis' without breaking the bank. |

DaddyGoo:Many advanced countries don't have this problem. How many terrorists have you heard in tunnels. CCTV covers entry points of tunnels, pray tell how you'll get there. homerac7:I haven't. But if geography and poor planning is why this can't be implemented, then that's on the government and the planners. Any country deploying troops to secure 200km of rail tracks is already a failed state. Toss it in the bin. An alternative is to create a Nigerian Transport Police or similar. 6 Likes |

homerac7: A bit of planning would be needed. Intersections for human crossing can be made. Deploying a few 100s-1000 personnel is a waste of manpower especially now we do not have enough soldiers. CCTV can be at strategic spots, eg places with high human traffic. Regular pruning of trees, bushes close to the tracks, occasional patrols might help too. There are models out there that could be studied to find a solution to this. 2 Likes |

I thought maybe use of 'palisade fences' might work out for the whole stretch of the tracks with CCTV at intermittent positions assuming electricity wasn't a problem. Or if this is going to keep becoming a security issue, time to go for TBMs and start doing the tracks underground. 1 Like |

Saw this video about Proforce. (7 months old) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msDGpER3Frc Interesting comment @ 4:14 timestamp. ... 'Takes 4 months to build 1 MRAP'. Guessing critical parts importation issues? I think Nigerian government should start interacting with businesses and highlighting skill/industry shortage lists so other private businesses can fill the vacuum. Hopeful that next steps will be making engine blocks for cars, ships et al under licence from a local manufacturer. 4 Likes |
