President Jonathan demands
$1billion loan – See what he wants
it for (Look)

President Jonathan is seeking $1billion loan to fight
Boko Haram. In a letter sent to the House of
Representatives this morning, President
Jonathan asked the Rep members to approve a
request for an external loan of $1billion (about
N165billion) which would be used to upgrade the
equipment of the Armed Forces in the fight of
the insurgent group, Boko Haram.

Jakumo: Unless I am mistaken,that tripod-mounted weapon in the middle picture looks like a recoil-less rifle of some sort, similar in design to the Carl Gustav 84mm recoil-less rifle that has seen use by many armies worldwide, including the Nigerian army, between 1948 and the present.

The specimen in this photograph looks like a WW2 relic for sure, but if properly maintained, will no doubt work as reliably as it did when new.

Jakumo:

No sir. Modern ordnance will be used, and the pilots will be adequately trained before they ever get airborne in anger.

PrinxArthur1: Do u know how many hours it takes to be a pilot it "ll take six years active for u to become a fighter jet pilot in the US i dont know for NIGERIA.

Jakumo:

A rookie pilot already familiar with the aerodynamic performance of a jet fighter can be cross-trained very quickly to become moderately proficient with flying and fighting at the controls of a different platform IF there is a shortage of pilots for a specific combat aircraft during a war, as would be the case in northern Nigeria's battle front IF, for example, Uncle Sam saw fit to loan a few A10 Warthogs to the good guys fighting those slave-raiding hordes.

Yes a crash course is a poor substitute for the whole nine yards of a comprehensive pilot re-train comparable to a civil aviation type-rating course, BUT the chit HAS hit the fan in Nigeria, and if a shipment of A10 Warthog ground-attack jets arrives in Nigeria in furtherance of her war against terror, those birds will be armed and piloted by Nigerians into battle very swiftly indeed.

PrinxArthur1: first of all i hate that A10 of a jet and currently from my views NAF have only 3 Pilots that are air worthy if u want me to put it that way

bendeniceguy: Some of the things you people think of to destroy what you cannot create. Spreading false propaganda is a SIN not a virtue

skullz:
Yes by donating a ship, which was virtually stripped to just the basic. Nice gesture still.

But asking for A-10's is out of the table. You know it.

SiriusBlack: Nigerian Army...Frontlines of the North East.

ocelot2006:

Screw the A-10 Warthogs. Let NAF go for the Su-25 frog foots.

realnas: oga sirius in the second pic I can see a b10 recoilles rifle that's pretty awesome but I tot the N A uses the carl gustav rifle or is d b 10 a new addition to d frontline?

tonte: God be with you

Taking a back seat as well as the pressure of work.

Been disappointed by the perverse, vitriolic and debased politicisation of this conflict by our political leaders that's caused me great concern.

Jakumo: By the way IbnSultan, those of us who have refrained from posting pictures in this thread out of respect for the wishes of SiriusBlack, would have still have found your contribution of photographs relevant WERE IT NOT FOR your adding that stomach-turning shot of cadavers floating alongside a military patrol boat.

Bearing in mind that Narialand is a family oriented forum, SiriusBlack has been kind enough NOT to post photographs showing dead people in various stages of dismemberment or decay, which is why your post of a macabre picture gives off a whiff of "over-sabi", whether intended or not.
