The Nigeria army has commenced their deployment in Mali with arrival of the first batch of a projected 1200 strong force landed in mali on board the Lockhead C130 military transport plane from Kaduna. The Nigeria army kitted in desert fatigue, blast helmet, our Made-in-Nigeria DICON-Marom Dolphin flak jackets – product of Israeli-Nigerian military cooperation. would be joined by the tavor rile equiped airforce Quick Response Force special forces commandos who took off from Port Harcourt, aboard the G222 medium transport plane. Our troops would be supported by the alpha jet and F7. I have to say that I have been truly impressed by the professional way the ministry of defense have handled the deployment of our troops. That we are handling the transportation of troops and materials goes show the state of our airlifting capability.

You people just criticise blindly without thinking. If those same forces were American or French you would not say a damned thing. But it is Nigeria, so you think you can open your mouth to talk trash. Maybe it's your complex. Why not let the military commanders who are highly trained, unlike you, do their jobs? You should simply keep quiet since you have zero military training.

If you decide to sure your ignorance online for the whole world to see that is your problem. I knew when I posted this that the cynicism casue it's cool brigade would show their head to find something sinister to say.

Addressing your points. when deploying in a conflict zone. come out fully armed and ready. Bamako as it stands now is not safe. We are getting reports of rebels infiltration has been reported in the city and rebels columns have been sighted less than 400km from bamako.. What is the rebels decide to give the Nigerian a special welcome? what happens then? When entering conflict zone one has to be ready for anything as the situation is very fluid and anything can happen. In one of the pictures you can see an unsmiling mean looking Soldier standing guard why is comrade disembark. That is how it's done. Make no mistake this is not a picnic.. This is war. not african nations cup.. anything can happen and one can not be too careful

when are we going to move away from this inferiority complex that we always display up and down, the mind of our own things is not gud, is not standard and always find something to criticis about our own. Just go and watch how military use to disemback from plane and enlighten ur ignorance. Irrespective of where they are they must be battle ready, fittness and agile.
Goodluck to our brothers, fathers, son, wife, uncles, relative and fellow Nigerians in their course to serve humanity in Mali.

I love the Nigerian Army! Kill those islamic bastards in mali as a warnin to blood suckin demons up northern naija!

See their fine camouflag! soldier go, soldier come.

Wish the Success in dia 0perati0n!

Chai....enough friendly fire.... I sorry for the village wey these guys enter....

I think you have aa point. While i think the whole commando ish was not necessary at the airport, but Nigerians always have a wway of criticizing anything Nigerian and a foreign country had done the same thing, they'll say it's strategy.

Um...isn't that what the C-130s are there for? Lifting men and materiel?
There's no indication that armored vehicles are being airlifted in too, so what exactly is the complication in this?

Ple like una nor dey use una head, I can bet 80percent of the nigerian troop deployed are moslems. Dem for kukuma give u M 60 so u wud do the job effectively punk

Na you wan teach them their work?

may God be with you guys o!

for those of you criticizing for being battle ready at the airport, there is one thing Nigerians are known for and it is being different in whatever they do. as long as it is not a crime, i dare you to be different.

I trust Nigeria my Country, they'll Never disapoint!

Mad Cow: Mali peope don price bad market...






These boys are gonna funk them up so badly, when next they think of war, they will remember Nigerian soldiers, them go park well..




My only fear na the first Nigerian civilian wey these guys go deal with when them return..

LOL, I hear you.

These Nigerian-made soldiers are blacker than mid-night. I love their dressing mehn! suitable for d desert(Mali). I wish them luck o. but why isn't there any fair soldier there ? i know d army is mainly made up of d northerners.(northerners are mostly black)

Stupid argument. What does the word COMBAT READINESS mean?

In 1990, ECOMOG forces were met by Charles Taylors NPFL forces at Monrovia port. Only fools do not learn from the past. If you have nothing better to say, I suggest you keep quiet and let the experts in military matters talk!

Notice the same position of fingers, close to the trigger, by all the men. It shows the high quality training, they,ve received, this is no rag tag army .

Why pretend to know what you dont know. Who says the rebels cant be anywhere close to the airport Find out when you are already dead.

Why can't people like you just shush if you can't manage to put your tiny little brain to work?
Hey! They are not there for a summit conference!

Monrovia 1990 and freetown under sani abacha ,nigeria troops were met by rebels at the airport.

God bless our Troops.
Army-of-1-strike

Well I still feel we have outgrown such toy looking AK 47 rifles.

Btw imagine crested numbers on the gun, I bet handlers name and family history is written there. If you lose your gun! God punish satan and Boko Haram.
