F7 are 'Interceptor jets'. They use Air to Air missiles.

The one primarily used in the fight against BH are Alpha Jets.
May be a stop gap measure in the absence of ground attack jets

The last government was a 'Heist Government'.

Their theme song in Aso Rock then was 'Make it rain' by Lil Wayne, Fat Joe.

I like Amaechi, but if he's a thief, then he's a thief. Let him face the full wrath of the law.

This is about the country and no man is bigger than the interest of the collective interest of millions of Nigerians.

Uncle Alams
Tinubu
Are the others I'll like to hear prosecuted.

Proficient as a word means a lot. It equals to you having skills (advanced level and 'experienced') at a high level. If you know you're only at a beginners level, I'll just state that you start video tutorials via Youtube straightaway. There's a lot to learn; macros, databases, etc.

Good luck.

Hehehe.

Once we start seeing any and every man held accountable for their actions. Then Nigeria would move forward.

Please, EFCC should do the needful.

Happiness87:
you are a fool. a very big one at that , show me your your tax records, idiots

you dont even know that companies add all taxes to cost of production, hence it falls on consumers.
you are very silly, not to know that every item you purchase the VAT has already been added.

Did UAE become rich over night?? what did they use to develop their cities??
How do countries without oil survive??

You are beginning to give answers to your stupidity

Now we hope that you'll continue to gain knowledge and would go on to acquire a decent education (your current education has been inadequate) of how nations work. Not just what the Kardashians did or what the latest bodycon trend is.

Happiness87:
see how foolish you are.....

lecture us what you know about VAT, do you think you are talking to kids or fools.

Grow up and mind the words you use online

Lol


UAE is rich enough to afford no VAT so also Saudi. Have you checked their oil revenues against their population? Besides now, with low oil prices they are considering introducing... Show me one developed country without a tangible money spinner that has even 5% VAT. I'll be waiting! I want the GDP and Per Capita too so we can start drawing up a pattern.

Nigeria's oil revenues would never carry 170 million of you. FACT!
SO tell me Einstein, what other revenue source would be open to build up the country. Don't mention Agriculture, etc

All you are thinking is your pockets, how you'll use the rest for makeup and not pay tax on it. Do you know the kind of taxes people pay alone then VAT added. Must be the only country where citizens don't want to sweat but want roads to fall from heaven.


End of this discussion. Like I have said, when you gain a bit of exposure and knowledge! Come back.

Happiness87:
stop comparing Nigeria to other nations,

those nations have better facilities and infrastructure and they don't have 18500 as minimum wage.

Salaries have not increase, expect prices of goods to increase by 15-35%.

Companies are struggling esp manufacturing sector and they are the ones to be worst hit by the policy.

government can raise IGR through other means not impoverishing the masses, any government policy that does not benefit the people is wrong, no matter how good it seems, the government was instituted because of the people.

when NLC embarks on strike, we will start complaining that they are wicked

Lady, VAT is tax on goods! This is the only part of the world where the citizens think only oil would give them the standard of living they aspire.

Fine, don't pay it! Kontinu...with your shabby roads, electricity, no water and expect that a massive oil windfall would fall to give Dubai's standard of living. You all need exposure man!

No one's fault that most of you never knew there was something called 'Value Added Tax'. Other countries pay minimum 15% VAT but my fellow countrymen want to almost commit riots over taxes.

Nigerians don't like to pay tax but want good roads, schools and hospitals?

Even at 10%, it's one of the lowest in the world!

The crux of the matter was BH started blowing up the ceiling eons ago, Jonathan then embarked on a weapon spree beginning of 2015 prior to election (knowing he would lose) $2 billion got released and there was where the chaos set in.

So many dodgy deals left and right, including Arthur Eze trying to pay over the odds for a bunch of cobra choppers that Israel have now gifted to Jordan. Other invoices showed up the overpriced sums paid out for weapons which in a time of war is just insane. No reason Dasuki should go through third parties, we are not under embargo with anyone unless the Americans.

This whole kerfuffle was just majorly depressing seeing soldiers fighting and dying everyday while their ogas played 'roulette' with the money allocated for weapons or decided to jollificate with money for arms!

Step 1: Abolish secrecy in weapon acquisition - must be the only country in the world where they can maybe buy a submarine but only the army chiefs know how much they paid for it.

Only people that don't know jack shite about the army would be mesmerized.

$2 billion was left and this is what you get?! Alpha jets and a bunch of MRAPS, tanks ?

Btw, some of the pics are unrelated to Nigeria.
Also those Ukranian tanks with the blue tarpaulin were never shipped to Nigeria cos they were converted for Ukranian use after their secession shite went down. Ask me if you want the video.

End of the day, this is far from impressive. I'll not deny Jo did a whole lot than the other governments involved but the acquisition was characterised by corrupt overpriced deals, so therefore we got less supplied for more money!

We'll like to know the numbers and prices.

And why are we always keen to skimp, with tranches of 2-20 units. Makes no sense especially as in middle of an insurgency with not enough to go round.

$2 billion was earmarked separately for weapons and this is what our ex NSA can show for it?

Badeh had previously stated that they suffered from lack of hardwares, the earmarked sum could buy enough firepower to sink the goat shaggers in their strongholds.

The military is just an extension of the state.
Their function is to protect the integrity of the state, mostly against external forces.
Over the decades, the military left their role as protector to govern us, since then it has become a misconception to look upon them highly as 'superior'.
No they are not.
If our institutions were also strong as they should be, Policemen can equally arrest and charge an officer for breaking the law.

There needs to be a deep rethinking of the whole health care situation in Nigeria. First is the standard of hospitals.
I shuddered at the type of amenities in one of the most expensive hospitals in Nigeria where millions are paid out for bills. It is laughable that that's what is essentially considered one of the best in the country.

For a start, there should be at least one 'standard' hospital in every local government with ability to cater to hundreds. Specialised hospitals such as pediatric, A&E, etc can be situated centrally in each state but with a caveat that each hospitals can perform a degree of 'stabilisation' for any type of emergencies before transferring to other suitable hospitals.

A lot of things are already militating against suitable healthcare. High cost of construction, land, power generation means that the so called best hospitals are so dear with minimal equipment only because they have to justify the capital invested in that project.

Gboliwe:
Having such name doesn't worry me, the one that makes me laugh is the kind of names like "[b]fineface, governor, tata, baby, somebody, his excellency etc that they give and allow the kids to grow up with. Those ones make me laugh.

Governor, His excellency ?

Add
'Monday'-'Sunday',
Polycarp
Boniface

Props to the guys on the battlefield.

'Not a single radio/comms unit' seen.

A terror group in the North East are also infamous for doing this.

Please do add the flag of the United states and Israel for added effect.
'Oh wait, but the latter flag?'...

Lol.

But think about it, a bank turning over billions finds it hard to replace a client's money. If they done same to another batch of say 10000 clients without refund. The same bank would have added to their revenue stream albeit illegal.

She should drag them to court and possibly get compensated too for having to fight them for her hard earned resources to act as a punitive action to others.

Not only banks get away with this, others like MTN, etc do this and get away with it. It's not right even if it's N5. It's a case of rich stealing from the poor.

This government should just get down to issues. All these meandering and talk is beginning to tick me off. Haul the thieves in already!

If not, 4 years would be spent pursuing thieves, joined with witches and wizards while other problems would fail to see solutions.

I'm already impatient. One thing always said is that politicians lie. They lie through their teeth to get elected and then do nada when they get in.

Buhari's two months reign so far has shown him to be more suited to be an EFCC chairman than President. However I'll still be watching. I'm yet to cast him aside, but...

Henry120:
They are a Recon team, target designator and acquisition not frontline infantry. "Get in-Get out"!

Great then.
I just don't want to see one upmodded dirt bike falling into the hands of those twats.

engrshakespeare:
men sorry o, this thing pain u sha.

you're a twät right?

Dude is just there every week, not straining a muscle and getting paid in Chelsea.

bidexiii:
Definately it's going to be comprised of both bykes and the quads,moreover I think we,ve being seeing pictures of all-terrain quads.!

I'm still to be convinced of the essence of motorcycles in a warzone especially for SF operations.

I'm all ears. Please sell this concept to me.

Re: motorcycle battalion.

A quad would be better suited to a motorcycle.

Besides, I'll keep shouting out about bridge layers in that pic with blown out bridge.
NA engineers are just as important as the infantry.

PS: 8 mags minimum for any soldier.

This man's destiny got overturned for a negative word. The same word a bunch of black people have adopted freely as a term of endearment.

Ignorance is not an excuse. Say no to the use of the 'N' word! I do not take lightly to being called that by any human, black or white.

Good riddance to Hulk too. Once a huge fan...

Ololade1999:
i dont agree with what you posted here. I have bought a lot of things on Gumtree and those whites brought some of those goods to my płace including a laptop. It takes honesty.The Nigeriąn Man goofed because he should have całled the police immediately when the business is about to go wrong. Their police system is very efficient. If you misbehave you will eventually be caught

He goofed quite alright, but like said it's rare for sellers to take item to the buyer. It's strongly not advised. Thousands have got mugged that way.

Tompolo, Dokubo et al have more to lose personally than others.

The Faux freedom fighters who claimed to be fighting for a greater share of oil wealth for their own people backed down when they too got offered greater wealth. Thereafter, they joined the those at the top of the food chain who siphoned more of the wealth than the majority at the base of the food chain.

Now, this is what would happen, their acquired wealth would be lost. All the mansions cars et al procured would be targeted in tat for tat. Then all accounts linked to them would be frozen and international support would also be taken to freeze assets abroad.

Their only way out is to fight to be the last man standing and only then can they decide to 'compensate' themselves with any largesse that they'll find themselves in control of. Anything other than that is to get ready to be subjected to a life of penury all over again.

I expected Jo as President should have been able to influence greater resource control for his region but failed at it. I still hope one day the ND gets what they deserve as they lay the golden egg but until then...

Sad, RIP
you don't go to people when selling on Gumtree. Best place is at an underground station, your home or a very public place but not going to the buyer's place.

What sort of daft news is this?

First Nigerian to be verified on instagram?
DonJazzy is Australian ?

WTF!
Isn't Gwoza in Nigerian Army hands? Besides Pulka is a link town into Gwoza. The last offensive had Pulka routed by the army.
