The AK-47 is not the most suitable rifle for CQB. As a matter of fact, I'll give that to the CTAR-21 presently used by DSS and the Nigerian Navy SBS. Anyway I think rifles suitable for CQB (CTAR-21, Beryl Carbine) should be left to Special Forces (SBS, AFSF, NAF's QRF, and Police's ATS/CTU) as they more involved in operations in compact spaces (e.g. Hostage Rescue). The present Beryl rifles used by our Special Ops operators should be transferred to the infantry solders. But thats my opinion.

The beryl is good, but my money is on the M4 carbine anytime anyday

What are you even saying ? Did you not see where I said the TAvor TAR21 was a carbine for close quarter combat or fire fight .. I said pound for pound the AK47 remains the best assault rifle out there and that's a fact .. The development of the M16 was influence byvyhe success of the AK47 and till date the M16 has not been able to surpass the AK in any assault rifle ranking .... Oga contrary to uninformed opinions like yours the AK 47 was never a copy of the Nazi STG 44 infact apart for the seeming similarity in aesthetic form they have no mechanical resemblance from bolt mechanism to breech mechansim to gas loading mechanism

I quite disagree with ur assessment on AK47 been the best out there, if u say its an all weather and terrain gun, i agree with u but when it comes to accuracy, the M4 carbine is the best.

Ak47 is not designed for close quarter combat as it has a longer barrel, whereas the Tavor is one of the best close quarter combat weapons with a shorter barrel, but on a more serious note, the military needs the new and improved AK47 currently in use by the Russian armed force or better still opt for the American made M4 carbine.

Very true the plague of get rich quick no matter the cost has plunged Africa into great darkness. Too many souls calling out for judgment and yet the evil ones do not seem to care. The spirit of greed and selfishness is operating in this country. People have opened the door for them to walk in and they don't care whose ox gets gored. Can you imagine an 18yr old looking for wealth by blood ritual? Africa really need to be forward thinkers, selfishness has to go but believe me those spirits don't just go cos we say so. We need to start from our spirit man. One who is humbles in spirit is one who can check temptation in its stride.

I quite agree with u bro. The problem we are facing in Nigeria and Africa is one, we have a teeming docile youth that pay more attention to ethnicity, religious sentiment, and a very redundant mindset. Use d forth coming election in Nigeria for example, in developed countries, it is more about how sound and intellectual ones economic blueprint is and if such economic blueprint is feasible, but unfortunately the same cannot be said of Nigeria.

Our higher institution of learning is no longer an institution for breeding next generation leaders, rather it is now an institution 4 breeding next generation looters and dictators. You can imagine a lecturer demanding sex 4 mark from female student he was meant to impact knowledge in and make them understand that they are the pillar to any great nation and another asking student to pay if they want to pass his course as if he is not being payed his monthly salary. How then can this undergraduate help develop the nation when institutions of learning become institution 4 exploitation? How then do we become leaders of tomorrow?

Its so disheartening but the truth is we the youth are devoid of sound reasoning and anytime i think about it or go through comment on Nairaland, i shake my head in pity coz we are intellectually lazy and doomed for failure.

Well said. Let me ask a question.....Do you think Africa will get back up from the loom of things? What does your soul tell you? Do you inwardly think Africa will get to an era where great minds who think alike will be born and take over the mantle to African rise to independence in truth or do you think it simply depends on us as Africans to decide to change and as long as we remain the same we will experience even worse problems and subjection to other races?

I always want to believe that one day Africa will change but for it to happen, we must first do away with our outdated mindset that sets us back, we must stop planning for tomorrow and start planning for 10 years ahead, we must learn to have vision, focus and direction.

For Africa to grow and join the league of developed continent, we must do away with the mentality of get rich and settle down, ethnicity, tribalism, religion.

For Africa to grow we must develop the habit of protesting against bad governance, we must learn to give women better education and equal opportunity to succeed in their chosen field, we must do away with every culture and tradition setting us bad

For Africa to succeed, we must stop cheering our leaders when they do what they were elected to do and instead charge them to do better. And above all, we the youth need to be re-educated to better be of use to the society

Who will produce the great minds? Is it our young women that r been used for money rituals? Ritual killings and every other form of ritual sacrifice is hugely responsible for setting Africa backwards, great minds have been sacrificed on one alter or the other just 4 money. We Africans need to wake up to the destruction we are doing to ourselves.

Take Zimbabwe and Zambia 4 example or even South Africa, the Chinese community now have 13 or more police stations in SA, sanctioned and approved by the SA government, tell me that is not the height of stupidity? It suffice to say that China town is now a country inside another man's country.

That one weak me o. You spoke well.

I don't see Western control as our problem, but useless and senseless leadership and above all, the general naivety, cluelessness, stupidity and bigotry of Africans.
The African man or rather the black man is d most useless and retarded being on planet Earth with his thoughts. We blacks don't just suffer from bad leadership, we suffer from blind followership of visionless leaders. Mark my words Africa is heading towards recolonisation by China.

Oh yes bro we are breaking free from Western control and breaking into Chinese control

Hedonini:
So you're still talking about guerrilla warfare? How is it guerilla warfare that you were notified in advance that you will be attacked, and then you're eventually attacked as promised - at your own base?

This is full blown, 'face me I face you' frontal warfare between a weak state actor and a non state actor. Full stop. It's no longer guerilla warfare. Boko Haram isn't sneaking around. They're in your face. In your bases, again and again.

Let's stop making excuses for these incompetent cowards in the Nigerian military.

I quite agree with your assessment that the Nigeria military is incompetent, because if they are not incompetent, how was there no information about possible enemy movement? We have surveillance planes, how come none could pick up pictorial movement of heavy artillery? What about our surveillance drones? Anyone making excuses for the ineptitude of the military high command needs to get his head examined.
How can there not be 24 hours aerial surveillance of the entire Maiduguri that sits on the fore front of the war against boko haram?
My honest assessment is that even the Nigerian soldiers are way to relaxed for one in the war front.
Until we tell ourselves the gospel truth, our military bases countless fathers, brothers, nephews, uncles, fruends will continue to fall by the sword of boko haram.

But nothing wrong with her dressing naw................

I just dey read comments...................�

This post reeks of low level of thinking and stupidity, can a Christian become a deputy governor in Kano, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara,Jigawa and other core northern state in Nigeria?
A Muslim will not allow his daughter to marry a Christian, but will want his son to marry a Christian and convert her to island.
You see the igbos as d problem of Nigeria because your islamization agenda cannot sell in the east.
If u want nation building, advocate 4 restructuring and stop displaying to the world how redundant you are.

I don't know jack about the activities of NIA, but one thing I know for a fact is that NIA has been compromised. Quote me anywhere

Yyeske:
Give us proof that his house was invaded

Like are you 4 real?

My questions are as follows
1. "if the Nigeria Army acting under order from the FG had succeeded in killing him (Nnamdi Kanu), will the court of law still order his sureties to forfit such huge amount of money?"
2. "Since there is threat to life by the very people who took him to court, why then should his sureties be charged?"

This is the greatest lie in the history of Nigeria, how can Federal govt claim to feed sch pupils with 9milion eggs and over 500 cows weekly and the effect of such figure is not felt economically across the national? Where are the pupils been fed? Why then the govt sch pupils around my area malnourished? This are questions we need to ask.

I can't kill myself for whatsoever reason.

Nnamdi is intelligent very intelligent.

whitebeard:
so isreal will send their military to Nigeria and u think the Arab nations will sit idle looking at them..

Which of the Arab nation, is it the ones that where pummelled into submission in the six day war? Or is it the once that where almost crippled entirely in the yom Kippur war? Pls which Arab nation are you talking about?

And to think that such kind of man goes to church every Sunday, i wonder what kind of preaching he listens to.
To all those in position of help, pls do without expecting anything in return and your reward will be great in heaven for Christ Jesus commanded us to be of help to the needy.

Its high time we address this hypocrisy, the same people will come to collect income tax from beer sellers. Heavenly father i don't want to be powerless again please.

Systematic gagging to subvert the collective will of the electorate just to keep the ruling party in power.

We are in a mess

Tried using the brightness of my phone screen to load call credit at daytime.

This woman reeks of class

JMAN05:
I don't think you really understand. True, one must not be a priest to serve God. But some might really want to be priests. They may desire it. Now, I believe a priest can be termed a pastor. So, which scripture states that a pastor MUST celibate? If such is not written, don't you think that this requirement is hindering Gods word? In other words, you are restricting someone unscripturally.

You are not a Catholic so I don't think you will understand, just allow us catholics to continue with our belief, whether our belief leads us to hell or not is not up to you.

If you are not a Catholic, don't meddle in the affairs of Catholics, rather meddle in the affairs of your own denomination.

JMAN05:
The problem is making it a requirement to be a priest. Who established that law? One may want ti be a priest and also be married. Is anything scripturally wrong with that desire?

An impotent man or someone who castrated himself is not allowed to be a priest, as a priority, the church has deem it fit that before one becomes a priest, his sexual organs must be intact to be able to stand the temptation that comes with priesthood. I also want to bring to your notice that one must not be a priest before he can serve God, there are other noble ways to serve God and still get married.

A priest has already sworn to a life of chastity, having no possession and in death is a property of the church. Knowing all these, anyone who decides to go into priesthood have already decided not to get married nor have any worldly possession nor heir, so it's not right for you to say that someone may want to be a priest and still get married.
