You came to this conclusion based on a match Omeruo had a bad day in the office at Laganes.

Can you comfortable say Awaziem is a better CB in the SE jersies than Omeruo?

interference ? Show me a war or conflict in which a 3rd party did not interfere in, and remember the United States have not won a war since WW2 google that

Putin007:
Is extreme corruption in the Nigerian Military ? Yes

Is our Military under Funded ? Yes.

Who is to blame ? The legislature, The Generals,

But just know this, even if we get 300 Billion dollars in military funding, Boko Haram / insurgency won't stop,

Black market military contractors, Greedy National assembly members, 3rd party contractors ( those in charge of idp camps), Nations with vested interest in West Africa like France, and citizens who benefit in whatever means won't allow it, plus this a guerrilla war, even the United States have lost their last 4 wars, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and then possibly Iran.

Just to add a little on what ugo4u mentioned, the AK47 remains the best assault rifle we have in this world.
.
It is capable of firing under any condition, including under water.
.
It doesn't have stoppages due to firing for long.
.
Soldiers at the battle front don't have to bother about cleaning their rifles always because it requires little or no maintenance.
.
In general, the usage of AK47 by the Nigerian Army can't bw downplayed atall.

You both have very salient points and I was able to pick a thing or two from you guys (Ugo4u & Blueelf).
.
It's a shame our military are yet to completely defeat this insurgency, but also have in mind that those guys (the Boko Haram & ISWAP members) are well trained, if not more trained than our soldiers.
.
The solid backup they have and the surprise attacks (ambush) are what is giving them an edge over our armed forces, imagining them possessing high end weapons like Anti Aircraft (AA), RPG, GPMG.
.
Bare it in mind that the tactics and approach of war (Guerrilla Warfare) is what's making it difficult to completely defeat the insurgents in Nigeria, that's the same tactics the Al Qaeda and Al Shaban are using in their terrorism which has made them still dominant today.
.
The Nigerian Army of this decade isn't same as previous ones, anyone who's joining the Nigerian Army should brace up and make up his mind that he is going to fight terrorism be it RC, SSC, DSSC, EC or RRI and should be ready to pay the ultimate price.
.
May God help us all

Victor Osimhen update

Liverpool transfer target Victor Osimhen has emerged as a potential for signing for Real Madrid and Barcelona with the January window now open.

The Nigeria forward has shone since swapping Charleroi for Lille over the summer, putting in impressive performances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

Express Sport understands Jurgen Klopp would love to land the hotshot this month to boost his options in attack for the second half of the season.

However, Spanish outlet Marca are reporting Real and Barcelona pose a threat to Liverpool’s chances of getting Osimhen on board.

andrewbaba44:
If all this news are true he should better go to Liverpool and not near Barca or Madrid for now

ugo4u:
You're totally ignorant of what is going on.. Those soldiers you see wearing Wellington boots did so not because they don't have jungle boots they wore that boot because as of the time the video was shot it was raining season in NE and it is easier for them to move with Wellington boots than the normal jungle boots because of the terrain during rainfall.
You'll be somewhere in Lagos or Calabar analysing what you have no idea of, if you want to know if recruits have training after depot travel down to the north and see things for yourself, go to Jaji and ask them such questions, the fact that you don't see soldiers parade themselves with equipment doesn't mean that they don't have it. The AK 47 still remains the most reliable weapon in the world, it can operate in any condition and cost of maintenance is low and eastyto manage compared to the much taunted Tavor Rifles used by the DSS and some special units.
I know an officer in the frontline that always query his soldiers for not dressing properly due to I don't care attitude, it's even the harmattan that is making some of them in the NE put on their complete kit. We're not there yet and their is room for improvement in all aspects of this war against insurgency but the bottom line of everything is that you can't build anything on nothing, the political class and policy makers should make provision for adequate funding and also strengthen already existing institutions to checkmate corruption.
You said most Generals are theives but if you're called upon to defend your wide sweeping generalisation you won't be able to do so, let's be guided with the kind of utterances we make, if you think you have better idea you can join he military or better still become a policy makers at the political stratum and bring reforms.
PS
[b]Don't compare the US Navy SEALs with our regular fighting troops, that's [/b]fallacy of false equivalence. You can't even compare them with US regular soldiers, those guys are highly skilled in their craft by virtue of the immeasurable investment by the US govt and are also few in number, you don't expect them to have casualty rate like regular guys.

Kaeboy:
That's how average uniform person behaves, especially soldiers and police in Nigeria. In fact the major reason most people love the job is because they'll have the power to harass civillians. Nonsense and lawlessness

LtChisom:
They should just bundle all these ones to Borno now them go start to cry now small boys.

Real Madrid are watching three of Lille's star players.

Marca says Boubakary Soumare, Victor Osimhen and Gabriel dos Santos Magalhaes, who is known simply as 'Gabriel', are all on Real's radar.

Casemiro is the only pure defensive-minded midfielder that Zinedine Zidane has at the moment and finding a natural replacement for him is high on his list of requests, with Soumare currently topping the list of names.

Osimhen, 22, arrived from Charleroi last summer for just 12 million euros and with 10 goals already in Ligue 1 and two in the Champions League he's grabbed the attention of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool.

And then there's Gabriel. The 22-year-old defender struggled to settle in Europe and at Lille at first. He was loaned to Dinamo Zagreb and Troyes and only started to show himself this season, earning interest from Juventus

Yes I use the Navy seal as a benchmark to drive my point that no matter how well you're trained as a soldier death is not out of the table. A US Navy seal by virtue of his training and exposure is equivalent to a doctorate degree holder in Harvard(this is to tell you their level of exposure in all manner of high risk operations).
If you're a student of past and contemporary military history you won't be asking if the navy seala have casualties. Go and pick up secret memoirs of the war in vietnam now declassified on the operations of the the Navy seals, they lost men in that war & they keep losing men till date, the difference is that the casualties is not as high as regular troops, a navy seal is equivalent in efficiency to 20 regular soldiers.
No matter how kitted you're as a soldier it doesn't take away the fact that you'll not die, it only reduces the chances, go again and watch how US marines were massacred in Mali last year by ragtag militias, even our soldiers won't make such tactical error in a flat terrain (desert) with almost no obstacles to take cover.
If you say troops are not well kitted then it's either you don't know what's on ground or you just talking for talking sake, I know for sure that kits are being distributed to troops the situation has improved unlike before, enforcing soldiers to put them on is another issue entirely.
We have problem with funding our military, no serious nation funds their military from regular budget, so before you blame the Generals first of all ask your politicians how much they earmark for military spending, infact go and look at the budget of the Armed forces which is grossly a pittance and yet they don't get full disbursement of funds yet you want them to perform magic, go and look at the defence budget and spending of advanced militaries in the world you people like comparing Nigeria to before making your categorical statement. Common Chad spent $1bn for their military last year, I don't want to even call America sef only their Army aviation unit have more aircraft than the entire military bin West Africa talkmore of other arms of service. And for your information it cost an average of $2m to train a US special forces soldier or a Russian Spetsnaz, so is it in your Nigerian way of funding military you want to see the money to train our special forces to the class of the Navy seals, Spetsnaz, Haga nar, Shin bet, Legionnaires etc? My brother you should be realistic and channel your grievances to the right channel.

Clint02:
So Semi Ajayi has scored more goals than Chukwueze this season...interesting.

MUTERIKA:
Understanding what Ugo4u said is key. As an active soldier, more over, a combatant, death is always lurking. You can't stay in your location and think you know all about the frontline's happenings. US does loses soldiers too, even seals but their discreet nature and pride of service will change the mood of the people. Here in Nigeria, we always take the glory from the fallen heroes by attributing their deaths to one thing or the other. Kit or not, the thing that matters most on the front is the soldier and the degree of training. We will always make reference to US because despite their kit, ambushes and other tactical and technical goofs still cause loss of troops.

ugo4u:
You have to come to terms with the fact that once you become a soldier you've already signed your death warrant, it has little or nothing to do with Generals. Senior officers often visit troops in the front to encourage and boost their morale, they too have paid their dues when they were junior officers.
The bitter truth is that we're in the middle of a very tricky war, and in war good men must fall irrespective of the amount of training or equipment you have. That's the sad reality, that's why the best welfare any soldier can receive is training and more training, this is to atleast mitigate casualties even in countries with advanced military are not spared of casualties in war. The US navy seals who are arguably the best trained and equipped special forces in the world loses some of their personnel in action, talkmore of regular soldiers. As a soldier your goal is to successfully complete your mission or objective making it out alive after each operation is like a gift because no one is guaranteed anything, being a professional soldier is no child's play talkmore of a combatant.
