NIGERIAN AIR FORCE COMMENCES 3-DAY SPECIAL SURGICAL INTERVENTION FOR IDPS IN BARKIN LADI

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commenced a 3-day special surgical intervention programme as well as medical outreach for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and other residents of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State. This is part of the NAF efforts at alleviating the plights of persons affected by the recent violence in the area. The special medical outreach, which is holding within the vicinity of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Hipan in Barkin Ladi, has been attracting a large turnout of IDPs as well as residents who expressed gratitude to the NAF for its humanitarian gesture and concern for the wellbeing of Nigerians. During the 3-day outreach, which is expected to end on 19 July 2018, patients with surgical needs would be operated on by NAF surgeons at the 563 NAF Hospital Jos while patients with other medical needs would be treated and given drugs as deemed necessary. Medicated glasses and treated mosquito nets would also be distributed during the exercise. A total of 3,000 patients are expected to benefit from this special intervention by the NAF medical team.

The first day of the medical outreach was attended by the Director of Health, Barkin Ladi LGA, Mr Badung Daylop, who represented the Executive Chairman of Barkin Ladi LGA, Honourable Dickson Chollom. The Chairman appreciated the laudable effort of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, in rendering humanitarian services through the provision of free healthcare to the people of the LGA. He noted that the medical outreach would bring great relief to his people after the recent ordeals. During the first day of the medical outreach, the medical team from NAF Headquarters and 563 NAF Hospital, Jos conducted medical check-ups on the patients and screened those who potentially had surgical cases and thereafter immediately conveyed them to 563 NAF Hospital, where surgeries were carried out. Furthermore, eyeglasses and drugs were distributed to patients. Other medical activities carried out were de-worming of little children as well as distribution of treated mosquito nets.

It would be recalled that the NAF on 25 June 2018, deployed an Mi-35P combat helicopter and an Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft to Plateau State in support of efforts aimed at quelling the crisis that erupted in the State. The medical intervention is a follow-up to the earlier deployment as part of NAF’s efforts at enhancing civil-military relationship.

Nigeria is punching far below its weight. Nigeria should be up there with the ranks of Egypt. Lets not forget this is Africa;s richest economy. Lets not forget this is the country with Africa's second biggest external reserves in dollars. Lets not forget this is a country that has the advantage of having an option of not wasting her precious foreign reserves by paying for weapons with commodities. Lets not forget this is a country that has been in a defacto state of war for 15 years. There are times i believe Nigerian leaders are Manchurian puppets....some of the things going on in this country defy human comprehension. TEN years of war....TEN YEAR...nothing to show for it..except a couple of helicopters and super mushank trainers. JF -17...the deal was reached upon 2015..its been three years we are still waiting for THREE aircrafts for test an evaluation. At this rest it will be 2045 before Nigeria acquires a squadron of the aircraft..thats if they do at all.

The ineptitude, non-chalance and stupidity of Nigeria's Military leaders stretches the capacity of the human brain to comprehend.

Modern Ethiopia began in 1855 so except for the Ottoman case other 2 war I listed happened afterward.

I know the difference between war and battle, and it was why I said war before. During Egypt-Ethiopia war (1870s), there were 2 major battles. During 1st Italo-Ethiopia war (1890s), there were 3 major battles. Ethiopia won those 2 wars.

Yes I failed to talk about 2nd Italo-Ethiopia war because the comment purpose is just to tell you that Ethiopia had won wars in the past.

And what about the Eritrean–Ethiopian War, one of the conflicts in the Horn of Africa, took place between Ethiopia and Eritrea from May 1998 to June 2000.

Eritrea broke international law and triggered the war by invading Ethiopia. At the end of the war, Ethiopia held all of the disputed territory and had advanced into Eritrea.


It's a bid win for Ethiopia and it still recent.

COMMENCEMENT OF TRAINING IN FOREIGN AND LOCAL LANGUAGES IN NIGERIAN ARMY RESOURCE CENTRE

Over the years, the Nigerian Army have been engaged in different military operations both locally and internationally with great successes. The troops while participating in these operations, require understanding of the local languages of the host countries or local communities to enhance their operational capability. The present engagement by the troops in the NE and the Lake Chad Region against Boko Haram, the various internal security (IS) operations in various parts of the country as well as at the international fronts, has brought to fore the need for proficiency in local and international languages. It is in recognition of this that the Chief of Army Staff directed that all personnel of the Nigerian Army be proficient in at least 3 major Nigerian languages as well as UN recognised international languages.

Consequently, in keying in to this vision, the Nigerian Army Resource Centre in collaboration with LACLIC SERVICES LIMITED (a leading language School and cultural Institution in Nigeria) is currently training 100 of its personnel in foreign languages such as French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Swahili and/or any of the local languages of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.

b. Normal Programme. This programme runs for a duration of 3 months. The Mode of study shall be twice every week between Monday and Tuesday from 9am to 12noon per day per session (3hours cumulative studies per day). The programme is meant for Abuja residents that are very busy in their various offices.

The cost for each participant is N90,000.00 (Ninety Thousand Naira) only but for the 3 months programme, participants are allowed to make an instalment payment of N30,000.00 (Thirty Thousand Naira) only per month. The first set of 100 participants commenced training in the various languages for the fast tract programme sponsored by the Chief of Army Staff on 25 June 2018 in the Nigerian Army Resource Centre.

Xbee007:
There is no Under 18s in the Nigerian Army. This is Nigerian Army not some child soldiers group.

Heck, no sane military in the world employs underage fighters. It is illegal!

Thanks for pointing that out, I never noticed it.

When you are filling your forms there information you give i:e age, health status, criminal record that's if you have any and you specify . When filling the form you must be strictly18 at the time and you know everything your signed and declare is under oath.

iblawi:
My only crime is that I find it difficult to explain at your level. You just qoute my word without thinking wide.

Population put pressure on those arable land for different economic reasons. Our population have grown 4x more than what we use to have then and the need for land in different areas of our life has increased.

Even under agriculture sector we still use land for several economic activities.
Farming
Grazing
Fishery
Poultry
Forestry
Horticulture
Ranching and dairy
Storage of goods
Transporting goods
value addition to the goods.
Research and development
Training
Etc

As population increases we start having conflict over this resource because the use are numerous. Take for example the way herdmen and farmers clash over land. I've not even mentioned other economic activities in other sectors that require the use of land as well like housing, industries, education, health, transportation, mining, etc.

If people now build houses on drainages, farmers and herdmen are clashing, communities fighting one another over land, and government also finding it difficult to allocate land where farmers need them, don't you think we've started entering a new phase in our life?

These activities are making land scarce resource for farming when compared to the rate our population is growing.

Secondly, its important to note that i never claimed population was the only problem why our agricultural sector is not growing. I gave population as one reason why we dont export despite being one of the largest producers of agricultural produce. If you have problem with comprehension please Dont put the blame on me.

Inadequate transportation facilities as well as poor electricity also limit agricultural output in their own way. Even farms using modern technology in Nigeria find it difficult to cope with these challenges. Some of them limit their output because of poor state of power for storage facilities and lack of access to good transportation system.

Having conflicts over resources you mentioned are not excuses if you really mean business. You plan ahead in every thing you do, we are in a scientific age and all these things you are mentioning are easily solved.

The population of today is crazy when compared to total land area.

Do I have to be going over the reason we should serve our huge local consumer market instead of exporting raw farm output? Why should I export when my local demand for the goods are expanding exponentially? Several companies starting up with huge demand for raw materials and population which need to be feed is equally growing. Land to be used for farming is contending with other economic activities not to talk of other challenges faced by agricultural sector.

This is how low I can go to explain my original claim. If you still don't get it then am sorry for you.

You are good in twisting arguments and disclaim ingredients what you typed that is evident. Probably you go back and check your post.

Dude all your essay you composed are not yet genuine factors not to have enough to export, come up with other flimsy excuse. The black gold as made us not to think ahead and that's why we find our selves in these present situation.

Serious countries that make there major earnings/GDP from agriculture plans ahead. The black gold is going to come to and end one day or its value in global market should fall to minimal.

Some European countries with France pioneering the race has said by 2025 -2030 they are going to ban cars using all sort of fuel(PMS & diesel). Sooner or later other countries will join, and when your biggest customer who buys your oil joins....what will happen


Then you know all these you explanation will be useless, people would go back into farming irrespective of any challenges they face.

abiodunalasa:
NA

2nd picture.

Seems a sand storm wants to take place.

abiodunalasa:
Like I said the other day, the rate at which very young boys and girls enlists in the various arms of Nigerian military .. it is really awsome.
If you think it is unemployment rate, you are sick in the head. Because what possible reason could this under 18s have that will make them want the job so bad... it can only be high sense of adventure and high sense of patriotism.

If you don't agree with me, argue with your cheap phone

Hmmmmm.......when 60-70% of them will be deployed to the north east, after finishing 6 months of basic training in Depot Zaira. It's not unemployment

For the young men & women we now see, are as a result of policy change in recruitment.

The faces am seeing are damn too young

@bidexiii, were you really once in the military

Help me ask him o

Covert1:
Incoherent reactions as I see here. You dont Need to respond.

Dude you should be given your self to same advice...

Covert1:
I didn't join in on that topic. Don't involve me there. One way or another all of you have points but I think you had better consult economic experts on that. I'm not one. I guess my forte is most glaring for the discerning to know. However my 1 kobo knowledge on economics based on my discipline is that it is an advantage for trade & economics and for times of exigencies say war. In rich economies where the population is dwindling women are even paid stipends to encourage child birth. Nigeria must do more to leverage on the advantages of a large population.

Yedingham you did join all the topic. Stop pulling your self out. Don't tell me you are tired dude.

Can you just hear you pity self.

Covert1:
Apparently you picked up another word: degenerate I used today to describe the consequences of substance abuse. Well I don't abuse hard substance I actually thought for a moment you did considering the usual Bidexiii here today. But you see it is honorable to leave it here. If you or your lackeys don't comprehend someone's schools of thought you let it slide other than to go low on abuse. No one will be promoted on Nairaland.

So how did you know so much on when the substance "weed" takes a toll on a person.

You don't need to answer the question....

Covert1:
Obviously the weed is still talking. Excuse me.

It's glaring you have been taking the hard substance and it has degenerated your ability to think
