Odunayaw: You don't need to agree. It's how shit is. That's why the military does its best to train men to carry out orders because many times that's all a man may be able to do in a firefight — carry out orders from his seasoned NCO Seasoned NCO  I laughter You know why most NA NCOs aren't seasoned? Let me give you an example... A retired NCO was interviewed by sahara reporters and he said that when it came time to send them (NCOs) for training abroad, senior officers will drop rank and take their slots and that it had become common place such that it was seen as the norm... And you tell me that money ain't enough...Now just look at that scenario. Instead, our NCOs are left to themselves to learn what they can from combat (that is if they survive) |

Odunayaw: Look at all countries (peer and above peer) facing terrorism budget and tell me you're not misyarning
We've only moved from "pathetic" to "meagre" in defence spending You're the one talking from your anus. Tell me that the service chiefs have not mismanaged all the monies given them. How much is night vision goggles? Yet our guys can't boast of it unless they are special forces (something that should be standard issue for regular soldiers) Oga, you're the one talking rubbish |

Odunayaw:
That meagre defence budget But hasn't it been bigger than it was before 2013/2014. Let's be honest, the Military oga's have not been managing the defence budget well. Call it meagre all you want but many countries can only dream of having such and yet their security is not as bad as ours |

You are entitled to your opinion.
Pointers: Your emojis show your age. The way you reason shows your age (maths teachers easily recognise these things)
I have been at that age and reasoned the same way as you before, I have made the same inadequate statements as you before...I was once at your age and level...
You will understand what I am saying in the future, especially if you have kids and watch them do the same stupid stuff you used to do. My emoji's show I'm not taking this as serious as you are Sorry bro, emotional outbursts would take you nowhere Enough tango....goodbye |

andrewbaba44: Chelsea British fans and their Nigerian hoodlums I still can’t find any difference
I am at their Instagram page reading comments which is about 23,000 and majority of them is asking why did the coach start kepa ? I wonder how these guys watch this game we call football ,where did kepa go wrong against Leicester ? Mendy will never save that goal

Abi is it not same kepa that has been keeping all the fa cup games till the final ,they must always look for where to throw the blame on

When some monickers begin to tell me not to compare our military with others, I need to remind them that in the last 7 years, our military's budget has been unprecedented. So what are the service chiefs and military high command doing with all the money?
The men on the ground know this and thus they don't feel its fair to give their lives for a country they feel has abandoned them |

Stephandesward: Lol, you call this ambush.....if boko haram ambush these guys, in their standard op.... they wouldn't even have that ledge to hide, because the .50cal would destroy that small cover gradually and RPG rounds would be flying. I wish this was the kind of ambush our men usually face. Oga, go online..the Americans faced worse and in mountainous terrain too. They were also new to terrorism at that time. Let's stop looking for excuses for mediocrity. NA troops are mediocre at best. Running away and giving up large cache of arms to ragtag guys wielding just guntrucks . |

SamuelAnyawu: Basic Truth.... We are just using numbers to fight this war. Competing same casualty figures with ISWAP/JAS. That's what is called War of attrition. The Americans made the same mistake in the early years of the Vietnam War before Gen Westmoreland was retired but it was already too late |

JOSCOFELIX: yes 4sf in an armour suv .with a hilux of full with niger solider. they have the best training , doctrine,equipment , intel .they were killed by some terriost . a us drone was moving over them some min before the ambush and after the change of mission.but did not detect the terroist. I never said the Americans were perfect but we stand to learn a lot from their attitude and discipline in combat. Our guys act like disorganized cockroaches in an ambush |

I have check your past comment both on this thread and narialand and i came to understand you say thing without verfication. go and check the same youtube about ambush on usa army both special force and you will see they only post what benefit them. i remember when usa green beret was ambush in niger republc, i remember when us special force excorting ammo was ambush in iraq killing all and many more online. and remember all with mrap and good equipment. nigeria military have many times successfully fight ambush and gaining victory. things is different from what you think Green beret were just 4 against Avery determined and pre-planned ambush. Stop deceiving yourself...I have nothing against the NA but their training needs complete revamp |

You guys thinking that regionalization and federalism is the answer. Let me ask you dome questions. Who will lead the different regions when this restructuring is carried out? Is it not the same tinubus? Or Kalus? Or amaechi's? Or Buhari's? Do you guys think that having regional governments would automatically make the leaders of those regions saints? Have you all actually thought this through? Will regionalism automatically kill corruption? Or will it automatically strengthen security in those regions? Is it not these same regions that have been producing senators, rep members and ministers? What have these senators, rep members and ministers contributed to our country? Make una dey deceive una self you hear... Nigeria's problem is mostly the kinda people we have.....corruption, nepotism seems ingrained in our DNA... Let us see whether the Yoruba's won't start practicing ethnicism even in the regional governments or the Igbo's or Hausa's or Fulani's... They will say "this Yoruba is egba and they can't rule or this Igbo is Afikpo and isn't pure Igbo".... No be Naija again  When the time comes, bookmark this page and come back to it |

ugo4u: The duration of training don't really matter, what matters most is the quality of training. US and UK soldiers don't spend more than 10 weeks in boot camp for basic military training as it is a continuous process as you advance in your career. Infact during the civil war the Nigerian army training for short service was 3 months. Core basic military training for RRI doesn't take more than 4 months the remaining 2 months is usually for seminars, POP rehearsals etc. Last year they only trained for 4 months at depot after which they did POP. Was about to point out the length of US training as well as the fact that even the US Marines considered elite train for just 13 weeks basic. Its not about the length but the curriculum. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the curriculum for basic hasn't been updated and is very outdated. |

Greatisthelord: Most of our southern elites turn a blind eye to this;as long as their children's future is secure. Even those in the position to help find it difficult to assist job seekers;they rather sell the slots than give them out freely. May God help us. i was about to point this out. The real problem lies with the southern elites if you notice, a northerner is ready to go out of his way to help his unemployed kinsmen. it's not so with southerners. The average southern elite is too proud to relate with an unemployed job seeker. Northerners help their own and southerners do not. |

Ishilove: And this, folks, was one of the remote causes of the Rwandan Genocide.
The day I knew we are in trouble in this country was the day I went to the state HQ of the NCS in Apapa during Buhari's first tenure. Every where I turned to, there was a Bala, Usman, Halil, Dikko Yahaya et al waiting to attend to me. I heaved a small sigh of relief when I got to a section where the only thing they do is to sit on their asses and twiddle their thumbs. In this section i finally saw a Bayo and Ifeoma. In every department, 4 out of 5 officers are Northerners, and in some sections, ALL the officers are northerners. My mind boggled.
I saw the same thing when I went to the National HQ of the same NCS in Wuse 3 in 2018. In whole sections the officers were Northerners but it was a bit better here because there were more non-northerners as one moved up the rank and file. Still yet, the lopsided federal representation was glaring. Some of these officers can't even write a simple statement, and the one who attended to me gave me pen and paper to write his report for him after he asked me the correct spellings of some words a couple of times and i gave him. Last last he handed the paper to me and asked me to kukuma continue. I left what I came for to be doing secretary.
Let us be guided. We are in deep shït. Smiles All will be well |

Rich4god: How do boko boys get fuel to drive all these gun trucks they are carrying around. Is it like there is a filling station under their custody or what.
I am not a military expert, but to be fair our govt don't what to crush boko haram.
During the civil war, Nig govt used a blockade as a source of weapon to get Biafrans to surrender. Since the govt knows that BH are mostly residing in sambisa and around lake Chad, why can't they together with Niger, Chad and Cameroon form a perimeter around those areas so as to block any form of movt to and from that area. Let's see how they can get their weapons, supplies or even launch an attack.
Except if the govt (like we all know already) are actually part of boko haram. You make a valid point about the blockade |
