Dr Gusau stated that the visit had further strengthened his resolve to immediately upgrade the level of collaboration between PTDF and AFIT for the development of the nation.

This is supposed to pass as a Joke?

Please ignore these cockcroaches

GabrielYulaw:
Lol @where was I? Actually, i have been following this and other similar pages for a long while. The fact that I only recently began posting on it does not mean that i just stumbled upon it. Frankly, the fact that you admit that the army commits atrocities but that doesn't bother you at all is astonishing. As is the fact that this thread is basically a mouthpiece for the army. Una well done.
Why not get posted to Borno as an entrenched journalist, so that you can more clearly report all that our glorious and gallant army are doing from the front lines.

Shot the Bleep up..............

Who told you that the thread is a mouth piece for the Army. Where are these miscreants coming from

walemoney007:
you must be a son of a b!tch for justifying soldiers killing innocent civilians.

Who is more clueless between you and i ? You mean am more clueless than you wey no sabi meaning of ragtag or am more clueless than you wey dey accuse GEJ administration of embezzling defence budget, yet one of the men that embezzled funds is serving as the second most powerful military personnel in this present government.

Boy, you're a stupid tout. Sense is just so far from you...keep on posting your useless pictures and stop showing how fool!!sh you're.

More cockcroaches......

Odunayaw:
Seeing this IRT is effective, can some of their members not be posted to teach effective tactics to the Police Detective schools around the country.

.

That would be a good idea. But the intelligence response team (IRT) is a special unit arm of the NPF.
Really don't know much about them.

Please for the sake of peace let's ignore these cockcroaches, who do not contribute to the thread. They only show up to rant shit.

Odunayaw:
These thugs are getting bolder all around this country

God help us with these new alliance of ISIS & al-Qaeda

One of the Most Deadly and Most wanted Boko Haram leader arrested in Lagos.

He was the Mastermind of the Kuje and Nya nya Bombings Of 2015, he was Gang-leader who lead his members in which they killed 7 police officers at Galadimawa Roundabout in Abuja, Lugbe police Officers killer, Gwagwalada area police killings all in Abuja.

Overall Commander Of Edo and Ondo State Multiple Bank Robberies, Several Killings in Okene Axis Of Kogi.

He was the Grand Commander of the Attack and Rescue operations of the Prison in Niger State early this year where he lost one of his eyes During the Operation and also over 100 prisoners Escaped.

The most wanted Suspect was arrested by a Special IRT team in Lagos after he escaped with bullet wounds from Abuja 3 weeks ago.

when IRT teams arrested 4 of his Gang members and recovered 4 AK47 Rifles And Hundreds Of ammunitions.

Kudos to Nigeria Police force, Kudos to IGP Ibrahim Idris, Kudos to IRT.

GabrielYulaw:
Truth is our soldiers are more than foolish. They are also very corrupt and very very very incompetent. The only time they become powerful is when they face unarmed people. Otherwise ,if you give my grandma a gun she can go toe to toe with them.

Id1ots like you are unable to see beyond your noses. You feel it is ok for the Shiites and Biafrans to be killed like chickens by the very people that swore an oath to defend them. What you are unable to realize is if the army can mete out such unwarranted brutality on unarmed Shiites, there is nothing stopping them from doing the same thing when the rest of the citizens protest over governmental policies. Would you be praising the Nigerian army if it were fuel price increase protesters that it just willfully massacred?

Another thing, the presidential guard are supposed to be the elite of the elite. Seeing just how brutal, and bloodthirsty they are the Nigerian army has a very very long way to go. Right now, even the Chadian army can wipe the floor with us.

Lastly, it appears the army learns absolutely nothing. And I mean NOTHING. The more Shiites they kill the more martyrs they create. These killings lead to more and more anger among the Shiites and God help us if they choose to go the Boko Haram route.

Finally, that guy with the flag near the end of the NYTIMES video is one very courageous Shahid. He stood there, raised their flag and showed his defiance. He is of course dead by now courtesy of lead poisoning but compares with such icons as the Tank Man and Faris Odeh. May he rest in very perfect peace.

Where are these cockcroaches coming from...

Harmless civilian who showed up with dangerous weapons attacking soldiers; is that a peace protest.

Are they not mad as you are...

abiodunalasa:

I don't know sir. But I will never shoot at harmless civilian.
No I won't do that shiit. That's not what I sign up for.
I will disobey that order and wait for my courtmatial.

Shooting into protesters ? With even 50.cal... no no no! There's no way I will be able to live with that for the rest of my life

Those where not harmless civilians.

Harmless civilian with improvised spikes made from nails, cutlass and catapult etc.

walemoney007:
Only God knows the ass lickers that f soldiers that are shooting against unarmed civilians are not foolish, then what are they ? The same soldiers will flee when they are to face boko haram

The ragtag boko haram has so dealt with the Nigerian military to the extent where the likes of bidexiii now feel they are no more a ragtag group but are on the same par with the Nigerian army in terms of funding, training and organization

A useless military that can't defeat a ragtag group operating on Nigeria territory

You're such clueless and foolish rant.

The only time you show up is to spit your clueless opinions.

abiodunalasa:
Those are not NAF bro.
They're Nigerian Police Academy graduands

Imagine a tiny vehicle like this taking out several million dollar tanks with the help on an ATGM purchased for a few thousand dollars, the future of warfare is crazy, just take a look at the situation in Yemen today.

Nice video, what if 7.62mm rounds are fired continuously in same place?

All bullet proof vehicles as limit to which they will give up. In real scenarios it's not possible to be fired at and you're not finding a way of escape .

Proforce ARA MK 4

The MK4 variant of the ARA MRAP features a number of improvements.

In this image, we can see it's roof, the central turret and 4 additional roof firing points.

We can also see the vehicle's monocoque haul.

I pray the NA authorities buy these MK4 ARA MRAPS in considerable numbers .
