My point still stands, how many units of the vehicles did they get?.
Legion has proven its worth in the NE, but how many units did they get?
The armored recovery vehicles too are great to ensure troops leave nothing behind for the terrorists to use for PR. Majority of the phantom APCs the terrorists published as captured in January and February were abandoned by troops when they could not move them. But what will 10 units do?
Buying 75hp tractor to plough 10,000ha and you expect not to lose your investment.

Well at least some people are now thinking at DHQ with the quality of weapons being purchased. Soon we may start seeing good quantities.

How far bro. Long time..
How every na?

Maybe recent NDA or SSC grad

You are just confused, just an advise, discuss things you know, leave the rest alone, talking directionless isn't smart.
Why will a regional block you don't belong to, no membership obligations, no security agreement just wake up & help you? does it sound smart to you?
why will Ecowas give a fvck about Chad?

Bro, the insurgency might never end and yhe reason is clear. A large percentage of the Muslim North are in tacit support of Boko Haram. They would have had no qualms if BH had restricted their terror to non indigenes and non Muslims alone.

Some of us have been here long enough to remember how they celebrated when BH bombed the Catholic Church at Madalla. We remember how they rejoiced when BH killed scores of Christians celebrating the Christmas at Bakin Ladin in Plateau State. We remember how they often jubilate whenever BH kills an Igbo trader at the Monday Market in Maiduguri. As recent as few years ago, we saw the video of Dapchi residence waving and embracing Boko fighters when they returned the Muslim girls they had earlier abducted, retaining only Leah Shuaibu because she was a Christian.

Their camaraderie with Boko Haram went sour wen BH decided to extend their terror to all and sundry. Even at that, their closet support for BH has not dimmed. President Buhari's complicity with Miyetti Allah's ethnic cleansing agenda, the exposé on Isa Pantami, the relationship of Sheikh Gumi with the so called Fulani bandits, and the support of the Muslim North towards these exponent of Islamic terrorism is a enough for the discerning to know that bloodletting on the North may not end anytime soon.

Madam police officer, the police are worse when it comes to arming hoodlums and you know it. The Book Haram and ISWAP we are facing today is because you guys decided to take the law int o your hands and execute a prisoner.

Madam Officer, stop defending Mediocrity. Before you remove stones from someone else, remove the dust from yours

Good day Madam officer

You know our police only come tops in bribery and mediocrity.

However, there are few that are dedicated to their jobs. But they are very rare and I've come across only 2 in my lifetime

Nigeria as presently constituted don't have the capacity to end France hegemony on West Africa. Ask yourself do we even have a foreign policy in the first place? We are lucky France isn't really interested in the affairs of Nigeria, if we provoke them to beam their search light on us believe you me there may be a coup in Nigeria. It's like we all don't really know how deeply divided this country have sunk. Some people are ready to sabotage Nigeria even without any form of incentive as long as they get logistic support.
The centre is already weak as there is no leadership presently in Nigeria, give or take we are towing the Yugoslavia path except something urgent is done to put the nation on a 180° turn.

Toju200:
yes

SamuelAnyawu:


You’ve said it all. A week to the Sallah festivity I’m off to Maiduguri.
The method of defending just supercamps and leaving ISWAP to have a field day in the host community remains a slap on our armed forces. Tho ISWAP never tried this when our Neighboring Soldiers were around, well they knew it will result In an open shootout

Good Morning great Patriots

Hi Samuel, pls I advice you to stop being suggestive. I principally came here to reply this comment. The Nigerian Armed Forces is not a fifteen century army that do slug fest to pump chest. It is a modern Army with able officers and men and equipment in tow. We don't fight like Chad or Cameroon, even Cameroon in my opinion is better than Chad no much different in style of fighting than the rampaging terrorists.

If you want to buy the narrative of the western media that Chad have to quote "the regions best trained army" then hope you sleep better at night if it helps you but any military expert knows that is hogwash and useless propaganda to massage the egos of the late Deby to continue to send his men to die for France and himself typical of a dictator.

That they crossed and did one or two noise making events and left without holding ground has no strategic effect on the war. The Nigerian Army has gone back to every place those armies fought to do the heavy lifting. And what people forget is that the Nigerian Army not only fights to take these places but it also has to hold them. That my friend is a whole different ball game.

You don't come in make one or two gra gra then tell me you are a fighting Army yet in thirty years you have rebellion left, right and center in your country some times right to the door step of your palace except when France intervenes.

Please give me a break no modern day army fights the enemy on his terms, not the US, not Britain, not Russia and certainly not the Nigerian Army. As this war evolves we continue to understand the modus operandi of ISWAP. One Nigerian soldier means a lot to them and to us and they know it so they would rather be cannon fodders to achieve their objective. Not exactly tactically sound.

One thing is certain they can't win this war so the Nigerian Army will continue to kill them until we get to a threshold where they are unable to replace as many men killed quickly enough to sustain the war. Presently they are being thought a bitter lesson on our terms and they are doing just what any enemy would do knowing there are incoming wonder weapons that will be a game changer so why expose our men to a slug fest.

Covert1:

Yes and no. France is not fighting the disparate tribes or constituent states it will be fighting the elements that constitute the power of the Nigerian state namely the military and the nations intelligence apparatus. We've been here before with the Biafran war and France failed. A lot of our problems are internal and one way or the other it inhibits us reaching our full potential and we need restructuring or some form of twerking of our current political experiment. Yet you underestimate Nigeria to your own peril as a foreign power. What exactly has France being able to pull off, please check your history. It is in their psyche to be egregious but when push comes to shove they bail. Before the second world war it was claimed France had the best standing army but Hitler road into Paris and humiliated them signing the terms of surrender. Same with Vietnam. All they do is go in somewhere start the fire and take off for others to pick up the pieces. France is a declining power for a long time and would rather be in Nigeria's good graces to trade as it is doing now and also to continue to feed fat off its colonies. We haven't started to assert ourselves, when we get the right leaders you will see a whole new dynamic foreign policy that will make Africa and the black man everywhere proud to be African. Also to be clear France nor the West won't get involved in an African war.

iboboyswag:


Maybe not directly but by proxy they would... Especially when their interest is affected.

Nigeria has been able to, to a large extent fend off their influence due to a compendium of factors to our advantage.

SamuelAnyawu:



Are you insinuating that ISWAP should continually attack a town with a military base and go home scot free as long as they do not attack the Military base in that town?

I’m always of the opinion that something needs to be done about this. What’s the essence of spending millions of dollars on equipments only to have our enemies rampaging the town while the military keeps watching and being on alert from a 500meters range.

Something different needs to be done to teach these guys a hard lesson.

I concur "A strong ECOWAS is a strong Nigeria". A strong Nigeria is also a strong ECOWAS. A weak Nigeria is a disaster for all of Africa. We can even stretch it to say a strong African Union behind Nigeria taking the lead is a force to be reckoned with in global affairs. The way to shut down these colonialists once and for all is to be united. But fifth columnists abound everywhere because of envy. The likes of Quattara helped by Jonathan to office now a total lackey of France and then the perennial ruler in Cameroon and even worse South Africa under Jacob Zuma and other puppets of the west. I expected more from Ramaphosa but with him and his ANC already advocating support for the junta in N'djamena for the sake of stability raises questions of what are there motives here. The whole chad business screams bad news with terrorists running amok and cheap Libyan weapons awash in the entire sub-region.

Another option is to allow the regional hegemons a seat on the UNSC with veto power but here we are with the west playing brother against brother. ECOWAS still seems the best route for Nigeria but Africa would be better off with Nigeria as its lead voice in global affairs much like Europe defers to America. Many will not agree with me and may clamor instead for a United States of Africa but I don't see Nigeria with its huge population and potential acceding to such ideas which is why it supports the gradualist position of integrating the African Union. The strategic patience Nigeria has thus far employed might need to be jettisoned for a more robust assertive foreign policy to whip these nations into line for true emancipation.

Ops Tura Bango seem to have lost momentum. No more updates of military achievements, only news of repeated BHT attacks on Super Camps.

It seems to me like the NA can't fight these ragtag militias without air support. Its like the NA are waiting for Tucanos and JF-17 before they could muster courage to venture of thier Super Camps.

Everything just looks blimp and scary to me. I come to this thread to read and enjoy news of Victory over these bloodsockers but I am.daily fed with news of REPELLED REPELLED and REPELLED
