They should be lambasting him ?

This same news outlet is no deference between them and the Sahara reporters !
All there speculations are “sources claimed”. In any organization there would be voluntary resignation are do you justify that to the poor military performance or lost of interest. I don’t want to go deep into this before someone his in Borno would claim he knows what is happening in the NA

There is vehemence in the tone and diction of your words.

But why ❓ I am puzzled.

And there is a lot of stupidity and provocative tone in your words also.
Posted what is Nigerian military related issue and what might also benefit interested Nigerians you took it another awkward dimension ?
What have been posting for years, you came saying jargons.
You should ask your self the same question?

ugo4u:
Customs, Immigration, Police, Civil defence and other supporting paramilitary agencies should be massively deployed and properly equipped to man the very porous borders and the communities around esp in the north that is where the real work lies, not in the airports or seaports where they become over night millionaires. The army is highly overstretched and stressed to elastic limit, the NA should only be concerned with advancing, dislodging terrorists and not holding grounds this is where paramilitary organisations should fit in.
These paramilitary outfits should conduct massive recruitment for this reason, atleast govt in one hand will improve border security, while creating employment for the teeming youths wandering about doing nothing.

Honestly if am Mr President; I will change the Nigerian civil defense to Nigerian National Guards they will be rebranded, well equipped and they will be trained like the army, airforce and navy.
There core responsibilities will be securing our borders, they’ll be first inline when there is an external aggression before the other arms of the military are on ground, in case of man-made disaster and natural disaster, they will be in charge of other interior conflicts like the kidnapping and banditry.

Our borders are so porous, we have to do something about it!

Travelling in your uniform without a convoy makes you an easy target . Shooters will make an easy meal out of you.

After this incident and another military officer killed along that same route, it’s wise to travel has a service personnel without your uniform or anything that might implicate you .

I saw a recent picture of one of NA's MRAPs that hit an IED omo !!!? If you see like the thing scatter fear catch, walahi had it being that was a light skin vehicle that hit same IED it will turn to metal smoothie straight up.

Which type of MRAP ?; his it one of the one donated by the United States.

I saw one twitter few hours ago misleading people, if it was the one that one had an electrical issue and it exploded. I think it happened in Yolanda or Yobe state.

Whyem15:
Come to think of it, isn't it the same soft skin technicals that the chadiens and caneroonians are using, obviously we should be doing far better than they are but the point I'm trying to make is that they use the same technicals we use but with far lower casualties than we get. I'm not even sure the chadiens field armoured vehicles as much as we do. So what exactly are we doing wrong.

You are totally right mate.
But don’t let us forget what lead to Chads military campaigns few months ago, in the true sense it was not a campaign because it was more of a retaliation when BH/ISWAP killed closed to 100 Chadian soldiers. And don’t forget the so called campaign didn’t last for month.
Am not justifying our poor performance against these stubborn animals, moreover they use technicals mounted with AAG likewise our own troops do with better training and other edge over them.
Brother have witnessed these; especially ambush scenarios; terrorist will throw all your technology through the window and make you look foolish and stupid! The best way to stop or bring casualties down is through making MRAPs/AFV/LAVs standard means of transport. If not it will still be the old stories of lamenting, the best way to fight through an ambush his through well protected armored vehicles and return with heavy suppressive fire!
Nigerian soldiers in the N.E are trying; riding on soft hilux vehicles with roads laden with I.E.D and ambush I doubt if any western or European military can survive what we undergo for 3-4-5 years in the north eastern part of Nigeria.
Another thing to add, it will be bad to compare us with Chadian army, they don’t get attack or ambush the way we do frequently. If they get attacked frequently the casualty will be higher than ours.

KEY ARMED BANDIT LEADERS NEUTRALIZED BY AIR COMPONENT OF OPERATION HADARIN DAJI AT KAGARA FOREST IN ZAMFARA STATE

1. Some notable armed bandit leaders and several of their fighters have been neutralized in air strikes executed by the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI in the Zamfara State section of the Kagara Forest. This was achieved on 9 July 2020 pursuant to Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports indicating that some armed bandits had relocated with a large number of rustled livestock from the Sokoto State side of the Forest and set up camp in the Zamfara State portion of the Forest. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions also later confirmed the exact location of the camp.

2. Accordingly, the Air Component dispatched Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to engage the location. As the attack aircraft approached the camp, some of the bandits and their leaders were seen fleeing towards the surrounding bushes. Consequently, the attack aircraft struck the area of vegetation taking out several of the bandits. HUMINT sources later confirmed that 8 bandit leaders and no fewer than a dozen of their fighters were killed as a result of the strikes

3. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has commended the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI for their professionalism and urged them to remain resolute in the conduct of air strikes whilst continuing to provide close air support for ongoing ground operations in order to eradicate all armed bandits; thus accomplishing the directives of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to restore normalcy in the North-West and North-Central Zones of the Country.

The previous leader , Amir Abba Abba Gana was dismissed and detained as ISWAP leader. The Shura council accused Abba Gana of a consistent weak leadership and that he has failed to demonstrate adequate command and control in the group operations.[b]

Xbee007:
What were they thinking for God sake?! They keep churning out these impractical contraptions. First of all, hot shell casings is going to be landing on that driver's head. [/b]Secondly, stability is going to be a huge issue here. Lastly, why would any reasonable soul place a .50 cal that close to human head[b]?!

Yeap we are forced to think because funds allocated for defense is not enough say less of the army.
Have seen armies from Indonesia, India and Pakistan with close byke design or something close to the NA.
And talking about stability yes there will be stability because it’s a MG/GPMG not a .50 cal/12.7 x 99mm or equivalent.
A general-purpose machine gun (GPMG) is a air-cooled, fully automatic weapon that can be adapted to light machine gun and medium machine gun roles. A GPMG weapon will typically feature a quick-change barrel, configuration for mounting on bipods, tripods, ATV and vehicles as infantry support weapons, and calibered to fire full-powered rifle cartridges such as the 7.62×51mm NATO, 7.62×54mmR, 7.5×54mm French, 7.5×55mm Swiss, and 7.92×57mm Mauser.

Toju200:
these bikes need adjustment

Most troubled western/central northern states has this mountainous terrain, I think that’s why the gunners position is somehow elevated.

Hennynitan:
Won't this burst the rider's ear

It’s a GPMG/PKM equivalent and the burst is not that harmful or harmful to the ears !
Even inside the trenches sometimes when the shit get worst you don’t mind your eyes or ears.

ugo4u:
Are these improvisations put to test before induction? because I don't see how that goes gunner will properly handle that gun in a gallopy/rough terrain, I think adding extra wheels at the rear will give it more balance. I sha want to believe both the rider and his gunner will have their own side arms when shit gets real because I don't that gunner has more than 90° freedom.

Already in use and have seen some in Kadunna, they’ve been in use already but not in large quantities.
You can’t have that luxury of 100% freedom or 360 dgr’s view on a nuke. These is to lay down suppressive fire. And it’s not intended for the Northeast it’s only for the the North west/central where the threat is not that high.

Litmus:
This one is a bad idea unless the intention is to shoot at the sky as the bike roars along doing the wheelie.

That’s what it seems to you !
Has ugly it looks and little adjustment needed, it’s already operational and not doing bad in the central/western north terrain against banditry.

Necessity is the mother of innovation , NA Gun bikes ...

The AFN procured some mountain climbers bikes to boost our fight against security challenges in our country. These bikes were modified by configuring and fitting communication equipment which will enable effective communication amongst our troops.

Nice to have you back @nemesis8u
I doubt if these would last on the battle field, overloaded with a lot of sensors that can easily be damaged by RPG/rockets by there positioning.
