If those guys are Nigerian soldiers, then it is the DHQ's fault that these things are happening in the first place. The army is not consistent with routine rotation of it's men at the TOW, how can you expect human beings to be fighting continuously in the wilderness for as long as 2 years without them getting messed up in the head?, if the army has shortage of men, then they should recruit more men, there are hundreds of thousands of young Nigerians willing to serve the fatherland, even to the extent of paying the supreme sacrifice.


These things will continue to happen until the DHQ does something about the welfare of it's kinetic manpower. Routine training, retraining, counselling and periodic rotation of men should do the trick of reducing such disasters.

Covert1:


Indeed you are right. We all wanted anything but Jonathan because of the open stealing but that man put food on the table and relative security. Today no food, no security and in fact soon no nation.

I for one sincerely regret my support for Buhari and sincerely apologize to the Nigerian people. I sincerely thought we would have our first Mandela. No but a tyrant and religious bigot who history will never forgive.

So in my laziness, decided to just repost last years X-mas message......

Cannonleo:
i can confirm with uttermost disappointment that there is a huge shortage of men and large number of desertions, the number of candidates that applied for SSC and DSSC is at an all time low

EVarn:
Well, some of us are willing to apply for SSC next year. If there is such shortage of men why then don't they increase the quota for both SSC and DSSC?, I am very active on the SSC thread, and I know that when the first list came out yesterday, many people were complaining about it.

GeneralFarouq:

Pls bto, send the link of the SSC thread... Thanks

LTGEN:

Go ahead and apply don't be misled by misleading comments.
If you want to join the DSS , join the NPF or have a law related degree.

LTGEN:
Please don't mislead people.
My brother sat for the SSC for the Navy portion in Lagos.
There were over 11,000.
I don't support the current Military doctrine but to say people are not applying to the Various arms of the Military is utterly false.
One dude was pissed on Twitter for not being able to apply to the NA.
Let people who want to apply, apply.
It is voluntary.

In the video, you could see an airstrike on the MBRL. I doubt it was destroyed though.

Whyem15:

From this video, it can be deduced that bokoharam militants have been moving heavy equipment around, which sector is meant to be gathering intelligence for the army for God's sake, these are targets that mortars can destroy from far away, if proper recon is done it might even give out the locations these terrorists are using for their base and could help in destroying their logistics. There is something very wrong with the Nigerian army in this aspect.

Whyem15:
Problem is, the trucks has been with the terrorists for some time now, how on earth did our recon team not notice it /its movement until the attack.

but..wait a minute guys....don't y'all think we've been getting this COIN thing all wrong?.... A wise guy once told me, 'take out all the bad guys, then new bad guys will come take their place'....we can't just think if we kill them all the problem would just simply go away do we?...the Americans have been in Afghanistan for over a decade now..and surprise, surprise....the Taliban still controls about 60% of the country!!....now, how is it that the strongest country in the world with all the fancy toys.....ucavs, tactical and or technical superiority can not successfully eliminate a bunch of AK wielding fanatics?.....it's because it is counter insurgency!!!....gun wielding foreigners ''imposing themselves'' on the local pop. you can never win this kind of war militarily, Bleep it!!....trump just figured that out....that's why he's pulling the boys and girls out of syria....you can all him all you want but that, my friends is the best decision he has ever made!...the U.S.A isn't winning the war on terror, the're only making new enemies....the sooner they'd pulled out of there the better.....the only way to really win the COIN war is politically, compromise.....no matter how bleeped up someone is....you'd still sort for a peace of mind...if there's peace...economic activities would flourish and if that happens they'll be prosperity for the local community...if there's that..then they'll certainly be peace....I'm very disappointed to say that the only solutions we hear from top brass are military solutions only...that wouldn't get us anywhere it would only extend the underlaying problem...that there was and still is poverty and neglect in the north east...and if we don't solve this problem or first things first, think there's a problem...and continue to treat the enemy as shit....then am sorry to say this folks, they'll still be insurgents in the north east hundreds of years to come, like in Afghanistan..the super tucs, jf-17s and whatever badass toys we can afford to buy won't save us we should learn from the mistake. i guess it's alright to say, YOU CAN NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!!!
