₦airaland Forum

Where is the over 300 aircrafts? What on earth make Nigeria the 5th best fighting force in Africa? Ghanaian Army, the Chadian, the Nigerien army are far better than the Nigeria Army. How can the 5th best armed forces in Africa find it difficult to defeat the ragtag BH boys. This news and its source are fit for the dustbin.

Why do Nigeria government minders like playing on the people sensibilities? The CDS told the world that a ceasefire had been reached with the BH boys, and that the girls would be released few days time. What happened thereafter, the boys took over and hoist their flag in Mubi; the home state of the current CDS. What a shame!! If the CDS cannot prevent his state from being captured by the ragtag BH boys, how can he and his red necked strategist protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria from external aggression.

This ceasefire is more of a political ceasefire rather than a hostility ceasefire. When has it become the responsibility of the CDS to be the spoke person of the government, that it was the CDS that was saddled with the responsibility of making the ceasefire announcement, not the acting minister of information or Abati or Okupe?

It is time the CDS stop making mockery of the Nigeria military institution. He should focus on making the NA, NAF and NN a formidable fighting force, and rescuing the nation from the hands of the blood sucking and wasting demon called Boko Haram.

Nigerians want a tactful, strategist and a gallant soldier as a CDS not a political minder or government of the day baby sitter.

jteku: Got this from AUGUSTINE on BEEGEAGLE BLOG.
Nigeria is fighting rag tag insurgents, mostly illiterate men who have never been to world class military academies in Europe….and we are sweating like this?
What if Nigeria is fighting Sudan, Ethiopia, or Algeria ?
Our soldiers will run to hide inside water bore hole ?
Boko Haram has exposed the weaknesses of Nigerian military.
1. Poor equipment and obsolete weapons
2. Outdated public relations management policy, principles and methodology
3. Insufficient or very low number of weapons/equipment
4. Financial corruption and greed
5. Selfishness and mediocre patriotism
6. Poor foresight
7. Weak communication, command, and control
8. Bad supply chain management
9. Wrong procurement priorities and choices
10. Faulty doctrine, combat tactics, and war strategy
If Nigerian military goes to war in this condition, Algeria will pound us into humiliating surrender, and Chad will shock us to the point of calling ECOWAS/AU/UN for peace negotiations.
========================================================
The perplexing question….
Is Nigerian military well equipped ?
The shameful answer….
NO.
Any proof ? Of course yes !
I leave out the Navy, they are winning their own war against piracy with world class results.
Nigerian air force….F-7NI jets…flying coffins….mostly absent in battle….Invisible Super Tucano….mysterious 4th generation jet fighter we don’t see we don’t know….Helicopter gunships with no guided air to ground precision weapons….few numbers of scanty Mi-35 Hind….tired and overworked Alpha jets with no laser guided bombs….Mysterious MBB 339 jets and L-39 jets….two crashes in ‘training’ in wartime…..poorly guarded Air base invaded by terrorist.
I leave it there.
============================================================
Is the 150 year old Nigerian Army well equipped ?
Big NO !
Any proof ? Easy….
There are only two praise worthy weapons in Nigerian army…Palmaria and Bofors artillery guns.
Will they save us now ? No.
We dare not use Palmaria and Bofors on Gwoza, similar Israeli artillery used on Gaza against insurgents, killed 1,000 innocent women, children, men, and new born babies in 30 days !
Will Nigerian army kill innocent Nigerian ? You answer, not me,
Does Nigerian army have enough equipment/weapons to fight this Boko Haram war? No !
Nigerian army is built to fight conventional war, and we lack the exact type of equipment needed to fight unconventional war or terrorist insurgency.
Nigeria is about 4 times the size of Great Britain
North Eastern Nigeria alone is about the size of Great Britain
Great Britain is defended by an army of about 120,000 soldiers
Nigerian North East the size of Britain is defended by an army of about 30,000 men
British army defends their land with about 6,000 armoured vehicles
Nigerian army defends North East with (estimated) about 600 armoured vehicles
Be the judge, not me….I keep quiet
============================================================
The only infantry fighting vehicle in Nigeria army is BTR-3U, we have the poorly armed version that fails to pass NATO standard definition of IFV, we have 14.5mm machine guns on them instead of 20mm cannon…and we have only 47 units of BTR-3U IFV to defend about 250,000 Sq Km land in the north east, bigger than Great Britain !
Cobra APC is the most prominent and fastest armoured vehicle in Nigeria (Apart from Spartan Mk III that has unknown numbers in service, but I assure you we have very few, we hardly see them, it’s all Cobra and Toyota we see).
Nigerian Cobras are the poorest types, base versions, poorly armed and have no smoke dispensers to blind the Bokos in battle.
Cobras, we see with 5,56mm guns and 12.7mm guns, when manufacturer has built Cobra to carry 30mm auto multiple grenade launchers, 20mm cannon manual or remote control, anti-tank missile launchers, etc.
We have 203 Cobras officially.disclosed. Some overseas, peace keeping, some taken over by Boko Haram, some destroyed in Niger delta war, some destroyed in Boko war, many deployed in 30 other states of Nigeria, we see them in Lagos riot, Kaduna city, Abuja etc.
Likely we have about 100 Cobras in combat zone North East.
VBL is a designed to be a recce-scout car and not a combat platform, we have maybe 50 units in NE zone doing the job of a heavy IFV…with toy VBL ?
Those are the two most prominent ‘fighting vehicles’ we see in Boko war…..
Is Nigerian army well equipped ? No sir !
Has anyone counted how many Big Foot MRAPS and Spartan MK III APC we deployed in NE ?
They are not all over the place in large numbers. China is reported to plan for 10,000 mostly Big Foot MRAPS, for her 1.5 million man army.China is NOT at war.
Means Nigerian army should by 1,000 Big Foot MRAPS by comparing our size with China.
Do we have 1,000 MRAPS ? Any proof ? We are poorly equipped as an army, truth !
We are good at buying weapons is small numbers, Iraq bought 600 Cobras.
The photos of T-55 and Vickers MBT shows rusty metals, Shilka AAA unreliable, poorly armed Steyr APC shows the rusty metals we hate to see, the Sagaie Armoured vehicle is few in number we bought 46 units some ancient years ago, maybe 12 left in good service.
You call that an army in year 2014 to defend land bigger than Britain ?
Nigerian army in battle is more of a large number of men riding Toyota’s to go fight an entrenched enemy in a fortified strong hold prepared for about 30 days, Boko having 14.5mm to 23mm guns to shoot and kill us from 3km away, we die before we enter the fortress.
COIN war is a game of fire-power in general, and protection when attacking a fortified position or to survive ambush, one mumu terrorist can use AK-47 to kill a Colonel.
Boko RPG in Afghan war Vs USSR mode will use ‘soft part’ multiple hits to disable out few tanks, Bokos inside houses, hiding behind windows, RPG, Bokos on roof-tops with 14.5mm guns, mowing down our AK-47 infantry, tearing Toyots Hiulx apart, Vickers becomes vulnerable to targeted soft spot RPG and any likely Boko ATGM when there is no infantry support, tank commanders don’t see well, poor situation awareness you get from tanks without infantry support….dying infantry already retreating back to base falling under superior firepower of Boko Haram….wonder why they say we lost a tank…captured by Bokos? Vickers at 60 km/hr, Boko Toyota at 100 km/hr, tank commander retreating, Boko is faster, oga abandons tank, runs into bush or waves down our Toyota to rescue him with speed….back to base…uprooted in battle….Nigerian army fighting at home and getting beating blue black by half illiterates?
Am I done yet on equipment, No….I leave it till tomorrow
=======================================================
Is Nigerian army tactics bad? Yes !
Good weapons, poor tactics, you still lose battles like Ghaddafi’s Libya in the 1980s, best weapons in Africa those days, lost every war and every battle…Libya beaten by Chad.
How did Nigerian army march into Gwoza like kings hoping to win because they are Nigerian army? Do we have Recces? British recces crept at night from Atlantic ocean in small boats into Falkland Islands and destroyed Argentina’s air force at the airport, went back to sea safely….they had destroyed enemy air power to give the British army balance of power for army vs army ground war…they won !
British SAS, against Sierra Leone rebels called west side boys, British soldiers had been in the bush close range, with Binoculars for many days, I say many days, spying on the rebels, drawing maps of sentries, armoury, best weapons positions, and daily routine of the enemy….then on D-Day, helicopters landed the special forces and the west side boys became history…wiped out.
Nigerian army, did you ‘Recce’ Gwoza? Did you know estimates of Boko men and equipment? Best weapons, heavy weapons positions? Daily routine? Prayer time when they are vulnerable? Sentry positions? Entry points and exit points? Routes for pincer attack formation? Route for tanks and mortar spearhead attack? Routes for light infantry? Soft positions of Boko Haram fortress? Ammunition stores? Number and discipline of fighters? Likely commanders?
Poor spy intelligence.
Why did you march into Gwoza without doing your home work on good tactics based on recce reports? Did you attack with ruse/deception/bluff/tricks on the enemy?
Okay, now can you still win? Yes !
Get your acts right.

A very objective analysis of the on-going war in the north east. Gallant soldiers are being lost as a result of the foregoing post.

Which way Nigeria? My heart bleeds.

Hello General,

How're you doing out there? Trust you're fine and in good spirit. My General, I strongly believe you and your men are stylishly sending those ragtag idiots to the journey of no return, and have a date with their imaginary 72 virgins.

Sir, your forced absence from the public domain has created a serious vacuum, no thanks to the front-line blackout ingloriously red taped by the clueless, potbellied, red necked man in his announcement in Lagos recently. His pronouncement has denied Nigerians at home and in diaspora a credible source of news from the front line and the opportunity to show our appreciations to those thick skin men and women weathering the odds. God bless you all.

General, it may interest you to know that Mr. Oluk, sanctioned by the gang of clueless, potbellied, red-necked men, has failed to live up to expectation. Since you left, he has not told or show Nigerians a single gains made by the boys out there, whereas, his opponent chunk out news of grounds taken and outrageous number of people sent to their early grave. General, is Mr. Oluk on leave? His silence in the last few days is turning to be a grave yard silent.

General, it is high-time our technicians or mechanics or scientist develop a brain measuring barometer and thermometer, because the thinking of our red-necked men seems not to be in tandem with realities. The print and electronic media were agog with report of the headmaster saying that new uniform design would be given to the student very soon. He said, with the new uniform the operational failure of the students in their current examination would be curtailed. The headmaster and his egg heads failed to realize that putting on new uniform will not ensure success, the student needs new and modern physics materials and not the civil war physics materials.

General, I wish you a safe campaign out there and hope to hear from you soon. God bless and protect the men and women at the front line.

Thanks

SiriusBlack: Thanks for the concern...the COAS said nobody should "report" for the army...whatever that means...I'm done bro..if that is all the Army can say about this thread, then...............
Just pray for me..and evry soldier, policeman, customs, DSS and immigration personnel at the frontlines...
Goodbye bro...ill deactivate my accnt soon.

@Sirisublack,

My able and gallant soldier don't be disheartened, you're bowing out with your head up high. You've done what the entire Nigeria Army could not achieve in the last five years. You gave and made us believe that we have warriors in the Nigeria Army, with little push, encouragement and provision of standard weapon, the average soldier in the Nigeria Army can rub shouldier with the US Marine, British SAS.

I salute your courage. I promise you one thing, I will always put you in prayers. Like I said in one of my post on this thread, you went to the NE with you whole body intact, you shall by the grace and mercy of God walk out with you being intact in Jesus Name. Body bag or wooden coffin is not for you. You will live to tell, write your Sambisa experience. And most important you will live to see your children and children's children.

I look forward to connecting with you after your tour of the NE. See you soon my gallant soldier.

@SiriusBlack


News going round alleged that the NA deliberately looked the other side when Damboa was invaded by BH. The community was accused of selling out the NA to BH and that some people of that community were armor bearer for the BH guys. The report says, their alleged cooperation with the BH boys was said to have led to the killing and maiming of my soldiers. Please is there an iota of truth in this report?

SiriusBlack: Finally!
Let's spice this up with 15 units of Su-25s and 10-20 units of Super Tucanos for the NAF...Replace all Hilux vehicles with the IGIRIGI, get a dedicated IFV in about 250 units, ATGMs for troops, BH will be wiped out before the end of the year...
GOOD NEWS!!!
http://dailypost.ng/2014/07/25/book-haram-fg-orders-purchase-40-military-transport-helicopters/

@SiriusBlack,


Should this report turns out to be true, it will be several big up to you and others who have made great contributions on this thread. It goes to show that a 60 Watts bulb can light a forest.

If by next month NAF receives the first batch of the attack and transport helos as claim in the report, by October, there should be scarcity of virgins for those to be earthly expelled by December.

SiriusBlack: Siezed Boko Haram "Technical"...Coated in mud for camouflage against NAF airstrikes.
Frontlines of the North East.

Haba, these 'technicals' get disappearing and reappearing sense ooo. The good this is that the NA guys are wiser. Good good job, wishing you more discovery and most especially the giant trophy - Shekau's head.

March on my gallant soldiers, victory is yours and ours.

SiriusBlack: I'm not pro-GEJ or pro APC, as I have little time for ghana-must-go politics, still I'm 100percent loyal to the President..and will die for him if necessary, but I'm not his supporter....I think the oppostion's behaviour in all of this has been very shameful...Every single time a bomb goes off, it is an opportunity for finger-pointing and attacks on the government...What will they have the man do?! He just requested for USD1bn and they are pushing against it...is that not sick? What could a president have done that he has not done in the area of defence? Instead of pointing fingers at the same people who were pro-BH when BH was bombing churches..the same people who had the guts to say that the State of Emergency is not needed..same people who refused to call their supporters into order when they were killing corpers after an election loss...the same people who created the Boko haram sect in the early 2000s in the first place...the same people who were caught red-handed with phone logs to BH insurgents!..Red-handed..Is anyone still asking me who BH's sponsors are? I have a lot of respect for the General, but, right now he is sorrounded by murderers..Nigerians, let's turn our anger towards the Modu-Sherrifs, the informant senator, the anti-FG governors, the pro-BH sheikhs, and the clowns at CAN...this country is at war...don't let anyone decieve you..this is a civil War...There is no time for APC vs PDP jargons while slave raiders keep killing men, women and children...It is time to put our ethnic differences behind us and work together as ONE to end this madness...A boko haram bomb does not care what village you are from...they are ENEMIES OF THE STATE. Or is it when I start uploading photos of dead villagers? A year old baby was cut in half and hung on a pike, by the bastards...same bastards that Amnesty International calls "Victims of Poverty"...I wept for days for the child...Are Nigerians thinking?! Sitting in the comfort of their homes in Lagos and Abuja watching DSTV? This is a time for unity...our politicians keep planting the seed of discord among us and we keep taking the bait!...You don't have to be pro-GEJ to support the Government's fight against this madness!! Nigerians wake up!

@SirisuBlack,

Posterity would have alot to say about you positively. Gallant soldier!!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡!!!!

@SirusiBlack.

How many months do you've in a tour of the frontline?

SiriusBlack: Through rain, through sunshine...Night and day..
Nigerian Army battalion advancing through marshes of the Sambisa Games Reserve.

@SiriusBlack,

My heart bleeds seeing this picture. I guess this is one of the reason, NA is recording casualties everyday in this war against the demented BH guys. We all need to apologize for condemning and complaining that the NA hasn't been capable of dislodging BH or taking to long a time to accomplish the desired goal. In a sane country with sane leaders, these men would be air lifted and dropped to wherever they are going. This picture clearly show how vulnerable our soldiers have been.

Where has all the huge defense budget gone to or spent on?

cirmuell: It baffles me how people couldn't just ignore this Quid of a guy honestly.

Even if he quotes you, U don't have to reply.

Seconded.

quid: Stop comparing Britain, Germany and Russia to Nigeria.
Nigeria does not produce arms like these countries, and so has nothing to showcase.

Both NA and BH are importers of weapons.
This thread indirectly tells BH the best types of weapons that will counter NA weapons

@QUID,

Stop displaying your ignorance.

When you don't know please asked. Defense industries corporation of Nigeria, in Kaduna produces medium range weapons such as 60mm mortar, 81mm mortar, the RPG-7 and Irigidi APC. DICON is in the process of producing Nigeria version of AK47.


Maya Angelou says ' My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.'

[b]

SiriusBlack: @Quid
I have read with great amusement, your constant bashing of this thread...I know how you come here at 3:am to heap accusations on me..calling me a betrayer and all that...
Let me tell you something...No amount of insults, abuse, and accusations will ever make me stop my work...you can come here, post photos of sulptures, and other stuff like you have done in the past, it just won't stop me..I will keep posting photos from the frontlines, relaying requests for equipment upgrades, and when we eventually get Shekau, I will break my no corpses policy and get exclusive photos to put here..I'm not going to argue with you over what you call classified or otherwise, Only if soldiers at the frontlines tell me to stop, that I will, and so far, I have peeps who keep pleading with me to also put their own photos online too..So you see, shout and scream from now till next year, I will keep posting...you can't stop me..This thread is not for me, or you, or for Gen.Minimah...this thread is a piece of history that 30 years from now, will be vey valuable...Since our journalists prefer to chase celebrities than get behind the camera and visit Maiduguri, I will make this thread my work...Only my death can stop this work...Our troops's stories have to be told...NLders, if I eventually pay the ultimate price, I have given instructions to a close friend, to reveal my identity...till then, this is my war..quid, this is the last message I will ever send you.
God bless a Unified Nigeria.

[/b]



@SiriusBlack.

No matter the months or years it takes to prosecute the NE war, you're not coming back to your family and loved ones in body bag or coffin IJN. You walked into the war with your body intact, you'll work out will your body intact. I pray that in the next 20 - 25 years, you will live to talk and write the stories of this war.

@Quid,
I want to toll the path of other guys giving wonderful contributors on this thread, lets not give a guy with a demented mind and brain the opportunity to be popular on this forum and most especially on this thread. Like i said in one of my post, he is infected with a PHD and ignorance syndrome.

The fall guy revealed a great degree of ignorance in one of his post this morning, when he said, revealing the weapons used by the Nigerian Army on this thread is synonymous to revealing vital and sensitive information, he went further to say, by revealing such weapons, it gives the enemies opportunity to procure for themselves better or more advance weapon to counter that of Nigeria Army. This is totally absurd and can only come from unintelligent person.

How can revealing the NA light and heavy weapons be detrimental to the troops well-being and safety Mr. Quid? Why do you think that the US, British, Germany, Russia and other do an open gun shows, test firing advance weapons and conducting aeroplane shows? It is simply to send a message to others countries that what you're seeing are what we have and capable to creating more. In early 80s, as a kid, I was always thrilled when the Nigeria Air force flies their Mig 29 Fulcrum and Alpha jets over our house in Lagos, everybody would come out to see the display. I am so sure if you were born then, you would have queried the NAF of exhibiting the Mig - 29 and Alpha jets. Oga, in those years, NAF used Dornier 227 to throw down a small green white green ball from the sky during the independent day, as a kid we always look forward to 1st of October because you will see green white green balls dropping from the sky. I'm sure you would has asked the NAF why use a Dornier -227 to for such purpose.

Quid, there is nothing sensitive or vital or classified in revealing the guns and other heavy weapons our troops are using to persecute this war. What it has succeeded in doing was to reveal to well meaning Nigerians that our military armory - Army, Airforce, Navy, Police and other gun carrying agencies need to be urgently rebased.

Quid, in conclusion P. J. O'Rourke once said, 'Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.'

quid: Medal of Betrayal

Gross display of ignorance in action.

quid: Yes, and leak out vital information while giving constructive criticism which you are not qualified or experience enough to give.

@Quid

Mr. qualified and experience, I challenge you to a debate on military history and how modern warfare are fought and won. And am sure you don't know what is called classified information in military parlance or intelligence circle, it would be a waste of time contending with you on it.

Mr. keyboard warrior, can point out one classified information that has been disclosed on this thread.

Keep on putting on your jacket of ignorance.

In modern day warfare, propaganda plays a major role. In the recent downing of MH 17, one can see the way Ukraine has use the propaganda machinery to their favour, Israel is currently doing the same in its war against the Hamas, many other countries had used this vital element to their advantage. Some couple of months ago, during the North and South Korea crisis, US Airforce flew two B2 bombers to South Korean which was widely reported; this singular act of the US, was enough of the North Koreans to retrace their steps and agree to a truce, because North Korea knew the massive destruction the two bird could do when called to action.

In the context of the above, can the same thing be said of Nigeria in the current war in the North East? The answer is No. Not using this warfare element is one of the reason why this war has lingered for so many months and years, and Boko Haram seems to be winning the war. There is news blackout on the giant strides made by the Nigeria Army on both the print and electronic media, no footage of fire fight won by the Nigeria Army posted on youtube, no face(s) of captured or killed Boko Haram commander(s) flying around the social media. The Nigeria Army failure in this regard, is giving Nigerians impression our military are incapable to prosecute this war successfully. Omnri and his media cohorts saddled with this assignment has failed to accomplish the task.

Fortunately for Nigerians and the Nigeria Army, someone with the alias SiriusBlack, knows the important role propaganda plays in every warfare and is actively filling this void at the risk of his life. Sirius is playing an image laundering role for the Nigeria Army, and its availing people having good military background and experience to give useful suggestions that can improve the soldiers on the field. Through Sirius act, Nigerian have come to the understanding that past leaders had staved, improvised and neglected the Nigeria military and the need for Nigerians to ask for a probe to know what the huge yearly the defense budget was spent on.

I won't be surprised if the President's, defense and military minders goes through this thread because one of the clarion call of Sirius and other well meaning forumites was the urgent rebasing of the Nigerian Army armory, this call was yielded to by the President in his recent request to borrow a $1 Billion to re-equip the armory with modern day weaponry as against the civil war junks.

For those who are crying wolf about classified information, I implore them to go to Youtube and watch the live video for fire fights between Israel and Hamas, US and Taliban, see footage of British soldiers actively engages in fire fight with the enemies, watch the footage of making of B2, F22 and F16 stealth fighters, watch the making of the aircraft carriers etc. You wolf criers, can you guys point just one aspect of the classified information that has been posted on this thread. Is the picture of the gallant soldiers classified? For those Sirius think that revealing their faces would compromise their safety, he blanked out their faces. Is showing Igirigi APC a classified information? Is showing the tanks, Hilux, soldiers at the check point and guns of various types classified? Please let us to know.

If not for Sirius, am sure everyone thought that Sambisa forest is akin to Amazon forest in South America, his post made most of use to know that Sambisa is a lowland savanna as against it been a very thick forest. This thread has made many to know that AK47 has an effective range and so on. Has the forum not revealed that Nigeria don't have a air power and need to be urgently acquired.

These thread is not for PHD invested people like Quid and his likes. What is needed on this thread are constructive criticism that would bring about positive change in our military, and words of encouragement to the troops at the frontlines who putting their lives in harms way so that you and I can live.

Ibnsultan: #unitedNigArmy..

Please tell me that these armors were seized from these twixted minds.

e

Jakumo: From his terrorist Al Queda-linked collaborators in north Africa and beyond, Ayatollah Buhari is obtaining a chunk of change and the services of hardened Chadian rebel fighters, along with lots of ex-Libyan army weapons and explosives. The terror group will ultimately be annihilated by federal military might, backed by Western nations united in resolve to protect their substantial investments in Nigeria, but the body-count tally on both sides will go up for a good while yet, before that figure goes down for good.
The external sponsors of Nigeria's current rebellion seek oil concessions from the imposed leaders of the fundamentalist rogue state that they hope to create from the ashes of Nigeria's mortal remains, and so their invasion continues apace, spreading southward from the north east. Ayatollah Buhari imagines himself to be Nigeria's future Grand Sheikh, vested with sweeping God-like powers to loot Nigeria's petroleum sales proceeds with reckless abandon, and to silence forever any "enemies of frogress" foolhardy enough to express dissatisfaction with that arrangement.

Please let us maintain the sanctity and sanity of this thread. We should continue to use the thread to promote and encourage the gallant officers and men that are putting their lives in harms way to protect you and I from those twisted minds.

SirusiBlack is doing more PR job for the Nigerian troops out there, let's not discourage him.

Please no political magamaga and busese on this thread.

@Sirirublack

I strongly believe it is time for Nigeria military high command come up with new innovation to make out military a formidable fighting force. One of the innovation is for the Army, the Navy to have their air wings as obtainable in other clans.

Rest in peace Galant soldier.

Hello Siriusblack, good to have you back. The pictures of our the officers and men at the frontline are so wonderful, it shows they are men and women that are ready to sacrifice their lives for the peace of Nigeria. God bless and protect them all.

I witnessed the action of three soldiers last Thursday, and it was wonderful to behold. Whether Nigerians believed it or not, our soldiers are operationally effective, but whether the red necked, war room officers are tactically and strategically effective and sound is yet to be proven to the admiration of Nigerians home and away.

Back to the action I witnessed. Three soldiers (two men and woman), came to eat at the federal secretariat in Abuja, fully armed with an AK 47 rifle. The three ordered for food and were about to be served, suddenly, one of the men beckoned on the girl serving telling her to serve the his other two colleagues and to hold on to his own.

As directed the other two soldiers were served while the third soldier stood by guiding his two colleagues that were eating and by extension others including me. The way he stood by says it all; his look alone would melt a stony heart, his finger was by the trigger, his neck movement 180°. When his other male soldier finished his meal, he went over to him, took over the guiding role from him, so the he can take his meal.

It was amazing seeing the ways and manner their coordination, and what it means to be conscious of threat. When I finished eating I met with one of them and appreciated their efforts in keeping us safe at the detriment of their own lives.

We need to appreciate the work our soldiers are doing and pray for them.

God bless the Nigeria Army officers and men at the frontlines.

glasmirow: THERE ARE SO MA ANY HOODLUMS WHO CARRY ARMS TO MOVE ABOUT THEY HAVE BEEN SHORT BY THE AGBOROS SO PLEASE STOP PUTTING ALL BLAMES ON THE POLICE MEAN WHILE RIP TO THE DEAD

I'm sure you're related to Ngozi Braide because both of you seems to be allergic to the truth. Your sister said the boys were macheted, you're saying they were shot by Agberos. So she can differentiate a machete inflicted injury and gun shot ehen?

@glasmirow, you need to have your brain scanned for virus and debugging, because lying seems to be your hallmark.

BrAkingNews: https://img.naij.com/n/08/3/ikenna.jpg
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, had told our correspondent last week that the boys were stabbed to death b[s]y some hoodlums during a fight that broke out at the hotel[/s].
Braide had said when the police arrived at the scene, the boys were rushed to the hospital where they eventually died.
“There was a stampede at Dele Hotel where they were holding an end-of-the-year party around 11pm on December 14. Hoodlums engaged in a fight with machetes and bottles. Moses Aiyenuro was slashed on the neck. A team of policemen from Ijora Badia Police Station rushed to the scene and rescued him, Ikenna and another unconscious person.
“Moses was confirmed dead at the hospital. Hoodlums attacked the police station demanding the release of their colleagues and five suspects were arrested.”
However, a medical report signed by Dr. Durojaiye of the Lagos Island General Hospital, stated that Ikenna was shot in both legs.
PUNCH Metro also learnt that Moses, whose corpse was deposited at Mainland Hospital, Yaba, was killed by a bullet that pierced through his neck and collar bone, and not a machete cut as claimed by the police.
When our correspondent visited the family of the two slain boys on Sunday, sympathisers were seen consoling the family.

The online shops or merchants in Nigeria still have a very long way to go, the most unfortunate reality is that they don't know the way. Copy copy no go kill us for the country. It is either there are cheating their online buyers by not delivering the goods or making refunds for paid but not delivered good(s) or not collecting money for good(s) or item delivered.

I did a smartphone purchase on KONGA, with a pay on delivery option. The phone was delivered to my house via DHL, the DHL delivery man did not ask for money, I signed off on the package and he went away. I called the online shop immediately, tell them that I have taken delivery of my order but surprisingly the delivery man did not ask me for money; the lady I asked for the order number and she confirmed that the order was a valid transaction. I gave her my email address and told her to give me the their account number and a payment reference code to the address. I requested for the payment reference code, so that there can be a trail of the payment to my order reference number in order to avoid future 'I don pay, you neva pay' troubles. She said no wahala, that I should be expecting the mail for her ASAP, and thanking me for the informing them of the none payment.

After some couple of hours, I got an email from the lady, to my amazement the email contained only their bank account numbers with various banks, no payment reference code requested for, no mentioning of my order reference number neither was there any reference made to our discussion. Its being four months and over, Konga is yet to contact me asking for payment. The money for the order is waiting for them to collect, I'll wait patiently for them to ask .

If they fail to on the dot of six month, I will don't the money to charity to free my conscience.

Op, thanks for the insight and for narrating your invaluable experience in the prison. It is very unfortunate that no reformation or transformation whatsoever takes place in Nigeria Prison, except for those that decided to turn a new leave once they are free, and I'm sure the percentage will be less than 3%. With your expose, I must redouble my effort to be conscious of my time, what I say, where I go, those I hangout with and most importantly asking God to guide and keep me away from the "Älakobas" that are out there. And I pray for those that are innocently incarcerate, God will send them a Moses, that will liberate them from the shackles of incompetent judiciary and tortuous prison system.

When the "GO and Die" widow story went viral on social media, some of us insisted that the widow was not selling nor hawking by the road side after listening careful to the woman during her encounter with the comrade governor. Here is the link

to the part two of the encounter between the "Go and Die" widow and Oshiomole, where she told the governor that she was waiting for a Bus to convey her to her destination before the comrade governor suddenly appeared.

You will agree with me that God Blessing comes in different forms, ways and manner. Thanks for the great influence and role social media played.
