Thats a lie, av u seen a full kitten navy personnel, to b navy go hungry u. Even soldiers sef, their full kit dope.

Bros, the reality on ground is that those kit in pics are usually collected from them before they go into war.

PM news did an investigative piece on the state of NA soldiers in the North-east. My brother, you would weep

karnafiu03:
Lol, Bro...u know nothing about the NA, u are just typing what u read on internet

Oga, I k ow of the NA and he is 80% right.

Common Book haram, we are struggling. Can we defeat external invading countries? No

SangoOlukosoOba:
Stop sugar coating

Have you seen a Nigerian military personnel kitted for warfare. You have not!

Simple

Oga, there is no sugar coating here.

I will post some sickening pics and videos for you soon.

Which kain kit. Naija soldiers be looking like village hunters

dfrost:
Standard procedure. They have it with them though.

The first pictures show battle hardened men in front. Probably done 2-3 tours in the Middle East.

A staff sergeant. Can't make out the rank of the other one.

The second one is either a Major or a Lt Colonel

Prymestrr:
You want an accidental discharge? These are not Nigerian armed forces.

Also, there guns don't look Rusty.

Chai, everything for Nigeria na Mediocrity

KingAzubuike:
Kid, dey look face or in this case moniker before you talk okay.. mind you I hold an American passport so not everyone is a failure and reject like you.
And mind you, defence budget doesn't equate to kitting your soldiers and making them fit. Yes it equates to military hardware but not petty kits like night vision Google's and C4s.

Whereas , the yearly budget for the Nigerian military, where do they usually end up? They get swallowed by Buratai, olonisakin and other generals down to the level of lieutenant. Even a warrant officer will have his own share and you're here saying rubbish.

Gbam brother

I have always shared your sentiments and aired my views on social media. Yet many of my detractors have always shouted "budget", "budget". My brother, if greedy politicians and Army Chiefs make maximum use of our military budget, our boys would at least have Night vision goggles to fight Book haram and have their allowances paid on time and in full.

Oche211:
This war is not good.
Many of these men and women are uncertain of their fate.
Some many not return back alive if the war begins.
BTW, does the Nigera Army send women to the war front too?

Have you seen Nigerian Female soldiers. Most are very obese looking and unfit for active duty

andrewbaba44:
Is this a drop ?

Some of Leicester City better players where benched and I don’t think this game is important

I agree with you in this matter.

It shows iheanacho is important to his plans

Icon4s:
Oga I have posted it here before:
Emenike: 9 goals in 37 matches
Ighalo: 16 goals in 35 matches.

Or which other major yardstick do you want to use to measure "delivery" of strikers

I myself would choose ighalo over Emenike. No other yardstick can be used in measurement

You are absolutely correct. Another thing is her drive to succeed. Many people forms rich homes tend not to take life seriously because they think they'd always have more than enough, but she always says life can turn for anyone at any time. A rich man could at the speed of light, turn poor and vice versa.

Exactly. Anyways, its clear from your description that she's a rare breed. Please keep her

annford:
Yes she is but she wasn't depending on her family as at that time. When I met her, she had graduated from the University, and had a great job. Really it is not about the wealthy background, but about the heart to give. She is so selfless and sacrificial to a fault. I was doing great myself when I met her, but wasn't as generous as she was. She ended up changing me for good.

She was able to finish on time and get a good job because of her privileged socioeconomic background

annford:
That was how I got my Wife o. A weak of chatting with her, I wanted to slow down on the way I was going with the texting so I told her my phone had developed issues. The following morning, she called and said she wanted to see me urgently. When I got to the meeting venue, she gave me a brand new phone (Samsung) She had bought N180,000. I almost passed out. The receipt had my name boldly written on it. It was accompanied by Laptop. I told myself I wasn't going to let her go. I quickly apologized, told her the truth. I had thought she was going to get mad at me, but she smiled and told me she hated lies. As for the age thing you talked about, my wife was 22 when I met her. It is not about the person's age but their level of maturity.

She must be from a rich family

ILLICITblood:
Better than Sarr because of leg-overs??

Something my younger brother does with his eyes closed

In fact ehn...his talk just weak me...

Isaac Success better than Sarr

Gaffe of the month (January 2020)

ChrisKels:
What is this? Celebrating step overs?

As in ehn....the way we sometimes celebrate mediocrity is sickening....

Its only on this thread that you'll hear things like "a Nigerian player headed a ball that started the attack and that finally led to a goal"

Arrant Nonsense...

sikowitz17:
lol brother leave them and their high moral..people just like to comment on stuff when they've first hand not been part of something .. during my clownship, all states and their village men that didn't participate in this parade would be made to suffer in all the battalions....these boys didn't have a choice...and that oga that said he's an ex boy...in stating it for a fact that it was the ex boys and the ex jams among us that were facilitating the entire thing...same thing with our seniors then . Leave matter for Mathias...I still stand and say, if you were a regular cadet, you'd have done it..

Just agree you're supporting mediocrity. When you become a victim of highhandedness of tiny cadets, you'll know.

sikowitz17:
small talk you'll be bringing american standard into conversations that you clearly don't know anything about...you know you could just join the US Marines or go to West point..be claiming Western supremacy to our small and developing nation..

But you can't deny the saliency of my points.

And yes, I will continue to hold us to high standards if we insist on calling ourselves the giants of Africa

These people again

How does this help the economy? How?

How does this help combat religious extremisim (the basis for Boko Haram) of which Islam is seen as the tenet?

Isn't this a case of misplaced priorities or are their leaders suddenly suffering from Parkinson's?

When Nairaland babes advise you to leave a lady, then you btter run OP

marvin906:
stop.overhyping the US please..
in conventional war the US is gonna win buh it won't be easy have done alot of study on iran military and they aren't push over's one on one they will take out Saudi Arabia even will all the money Saudi Arabia are throwing on weapons..buh in an uncoventional war the US has no chance

Well, you shouldn't expect more from a kid

THe USA has been battling countries that use unconventional warfare for decades and you think they will be stupid enough not to learn their lessons?

Hahahahahahahaha......I pity Iran sha. If you must know, the US is backed by the military might of the west and Iran will become another Syria.....

Dayordee4:
Oga tomi!!!! This is why we are where we are!!!!!!!!!

Exactly. Do USMA Westpoint cadets do this? Is this how to serve taxpayers? By making a fool of yourselves and causing pain and anguish to motorists?

What if a pregnant woman was in Labour and had to get to the hospital fast? What if accident victims were short of time in that traffic?

Are they better trained than USMA Westpoint cadets or Sandhurst Cadets? NO....

Officers ought to be trained to be gentlemen and not to show off false bravado. They ought to even be in traffic situations and help control traffic to make it flow smoother and not to inflict more pain on road users. This apocryphal show of strength doesn't make you a better leader or a better fighting man (in battle).

Nonesense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Icon4s:
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?

Yes to the second paragraph

I'm waiting for the state of those houses after 6 months of occupation.

Nigerians don't know how to maintain infrastructure

andrewbaba44:
Lol

Go and Sleep Andrew

gustav25:
Them don start , when their pseudo transfer no come again end of January, I surely will be here to remind them and they will sayeth that I'm a hater

Happy New year charlie

Putin007:
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

We are saying the same thing. I am not in contention with you on the subject of third party interference in conflict .

Oga, google will not say wether the USA won any war since WW2. Winning or loosing a war is subjective. Its based on how the Americans see the wars they've been involved in. The only loss they'll generally agree that they took was the Vietnam war (and maybe the Korean war of the 50s) because they failed to kill or capture the leaders of the communist forces involved

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.

The US doesn't see these wars as a loss. Because of the death of the following, Osama Bin Laden, Muammar Ghaddafi, Saddam Hussein and recently the death of Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi of Isis.

And Vietnam was a loss because they rushed into it without understanding the terrain and underestimating the resilience of the Vietcong and NVA. A mistake they sure won't make again. Also note that that was their first real intro to Jungle Guerrila warfare. Let's not also forget about the interference of the then Soviet Union who supplied arms and ammo to the VC and NVA

andrewbaba44:
I know broda

Trust me

I am just hoping for the best

Besides I don't think Liverpool needs another striker. We need replacement full backs and a good creative midfielder

LtChisom:
I was replying to the cadets blocking and causing traffic holdup.

OK brother. I get you now. Sorry for the mixup

cheerokee:
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

Thanks brother

I'm not against the use of the AK-47. In fact, I prefer it to the M16 assault rifles due to its more distant firing range. However, the ones we have are too old and worn out. I get worried about the young guys that are being wasted whose death are totally avoidable.

And I don't think I want to believe that the ISWAP guys are better trained. However, Musa has been at the gate too long to know that anything is possible. The question is; do al-qaeda now have better training centres than Depot? Or is it that they have more battle hardened veterans in their ranks? Please could you throw more light on these so that I may know more.

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.

Liverpool is the best for this guy now. Klopp will bring out the best in him. Not saying this because I'm a Reds fan but I have a bad feeling about Barca and Madrid
