No be lie!!!


Today a Journalist on a political program on TVC(JH) said KPIs(Key performance Index) should be set for service Chiefs so that we will have bearing and know if we are making progress or not and also justifying whatever the military is getting.
Again we've said similar things on this thread, for me the problem isn't really the military it is the political class that is frustrating efforts at defeating the insurgents.
By the time Bokoharam strike Abuja one or two times all man go wake up, that money they say they don't have will come out by force. I still feel Bokoharam deliberately restricted their operations in the northeast partly to concentrate their firepower in their strongholds, while giving the guys at Abuja a false sense of safety. If they decide to detonate an IED today at Abuja they will do so effortlessly. Possibly they don't want to disturb the politicians and those that matters so that the military will continue to be in a beggarly state.
How can one justify the fact that it was just last week that army got the money they budgeted for 2020(after 7 months) most of which is even recurrent expenditure.
Nigeria is not yet serious in tackling insecurity.

Odunayaw:
I guess Buratai just gave up on hounding these guys and concentrated on his Legend instead.

But DIA can stage false flags to awake those agbada wearing terrorists

seankafor:
that's how they do USA army personnels over there in USA I heard..
Don't know why people dear the military over here when opposite should have been the case

ugo4u:

Exactly what one of the soldiers I met today said,
in his words "DSS should stage a phantom terror attack in Abuja it should be executed in a way that no casualties should be recorded them they tell the media that X number of people died".
I saw sense in what he said honestly, the DSS, NIA, DIA have being reduced to tax collectors, political witch Hunters and election riggers.
Only the armed forces especially the army have bared the brunt of this Insurgency. The irony of of it all is that they are least taken care of welfare wise. DSS/NIA enjoy very juicy package for wearing suits and dark eye-glass and be pursuing yahoo boys. If I say all I heard from some serving personnel true to God even a devil will pity our soldiers. It even seem like Buratai is already suffering from "combat stress" the man look tired already, e don begin misyarn for media.

NewDelhi:

Very risky. 50% of them would have shot you on sight as you try to approach.

Nicheey:


Who is this one?

Coming from someone who thinks you'll be shot by the armed forces of Nigeria in a relatively calm environs because you approach them to appreciate them for their services towards Nigeria at large. I pity who like ur post.

ugo4u:
I did something that really felt so satisfying to me, I was going somewhere and the route I followed I saw some heavily armed military guys in two gun trucks guarding a house (possibly) they escorted an Oga(prolly a General) all of them looking fierce. I had passed them but my mind pricked me to atleast show a lil appreciation for their efforts in securing the nation. When I approached them initially they were kind of apprehensive, but they later loosened up and I had a brief but fruitful engagement with them, as per na emergency meeting when I know plan for I felt heavy not dropping a lil cash with them, I had to get a chilled pack of Soft drinks and snacks for them. They were happy and the same time surprised. I was impressed and a little bit ashamed when I saw the very small boy manning the machine gun mounted on their Buffalo truck, wallahi that guy no pass 20yrs. I was like wtf, I'm sure this guy haven't even felt the warmth of a woman na him carry this kind responsibility for shoulder? I just codedly squeeze 2k into his palm, I was awed.
We talked about issues concerning banditry and the insurgency in the NE, it was really an eye opener.
I have always wanted to join the army via SSC/DSSC (Officer Cadre) but have being quite unlucky as them no dey even shortlist me for previous exercises atleast for interview to proof myself before the board despite having every goddamn qualification and age is ticking very fast. After gazing for a while I just said(in my mind o)army should stop putting babies in the frontlines, make them sef consider agbalagba like us wey wan contribute our own quota.
Overall the encounter was worth it.

NewDelhi:


Lol don't make that mistake boy, it can go either ways. I've been a witness to something similar before. The damage would have been done before anyone realize you were approaching to appreciate them for their services towards Nigeria.

Nicheey:


Brother man, our two no get any issue. I have been following up your exploits in various theatre as a humanitarian worker, I commend your bravery, truly not all heroes wears cape.

remi1444:
Do heroes wear Cape? .
The only Hero I know is Col. Abu and he was always on camou pants and Tee.

UltimateDreamer:
V/STOL

Tobiloba2407:


Please, any information on this?

Toju200:
I've forgotten the name of the Company that Produce the Drone but it's not indigenous...

Nicheey:


Are you being sarcastic or?? Cuz aside from col Abu we have many heroes, both past and present that has paid the Supreme price in Northern theatre.

Jimi24:

The man made a very intelligent, security savvy suggestion about buying up weapon stashes (for cheap) in what was then a government-less country and you did not even think thro it before dropping "secure borders" cliche. What is the special meaning of "secure borders"? . Every government has been trying to secure borders since xxxx BC and every government fails.

If Nigerians would just stop dropping generic buzzwords all over the place and get creative about solutions maybe things would be better.

BabaOwen:
Very soon, the murderers of the aid workers who were killed in Borno state will soon get armnesty as repentant boko haram terrorists.

LtRussell:


Honestly the "repentant" terries project is one of the dumbest I have come across.
Terries ambush, kidnap, kill and maim without batting an eyelid. They stick to their demands and justify their actions.

Terries don't have "repentant" captives or hostages. But for some silly reason, the proponents of the project believe that
you can de-radicalize a hardened terry within a year, in an ongoing conflict fuelled by religious ideology.



The solution to this war is simple and straightforward. But the sad reality is that the political ruling class and some elements in the military
are not ready and willing to do the needful.

Politics, corruption and nepotism has crippled the war effort.

Respect to every GI in the field, under the scorching sun, wielding that old AK-47 with 3 magazines.
Taking orders from high command knowing that you will might not return alive.
Leaving your loved one's behind not sure if you will see them again.
Going on patrols without adequate comms and mobile protection, on ops without intel.
You are dispensable.
But your sacrifice remains long after you are gone.
