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

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.

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:

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.

What a bunch of self-absorbed bastards

"People think I'm rich because I'm fine"

"People think I'm a snob because I'm too cool"

" People think I'm arrogant because I'm like smart, with a 4.8 CGPA"

"People say I've got a big prick, and sadly it's true"

"People think I'm a ho because I'm beautiful and sexy"

" People think I'm expensive because I've good taste"

Fukk you all.

'Leicester Have Replaced N'Golo Kante, Remarkable' - Fans Hail Ndidi After Producing Exquisite Assist


Wilfred Ndidi put in an impressive shift in the middle of the park as Leicester City claimed a 3-0 victory over Newcastle in their Premier League meeting on Wednesday evening.

Playing his 20th league game, the Nigeria international laid off an assist for midfield partner Hamza Choudhury in the 87th minute, with a deft pass for his cracking goal in the victory.

His all round performance was eye-catching and domineering, and such display had got people talking on the microblogging platform, Twitter, with most observers hailing him.

Below were some of the tweets we gathered..

@DominicWells: Wilfred Ndidi has played a perfect first half, the small passages of play where #LCFC have been out of possession, Ndidi has won it back. He's intercepted, tackled & progressed the ball superbly. Somehow, #LCFC have replaced N'golo Kante, remarkable.

@mikeivory91: That Ndidi assist ��

@DominicWells_SJ: #LCFC's overall performance, outstanding. Some of the standout players being; Maddison, Ndidi & Fuchs. Maddison the creative source, Ndidi winning everything in the middle & Fuchs - out of position (LCB), was brilliant, went about his work quietly.

@basilabia: Just seen Ndidi's assist. Exquisite, like my pastry making skills

@EaglesTrackerNG: New Year, Same Ndidi. Wilfred Ndidi with an assist and a brilliant performance in Leicester City's win.

@GLimbert4: Single pivot 352 worked well today against a poor Newcastle side with obvious injury issues. Maddison and Tielemans both got time on the ball, Ndidi unbelievable. Perez looks so much better centrally. Imagine that system with Demiral added into the 3 �� #LCFC

@Blue_Foxx1884: Wilfried Ndidi's improvement this season has been staggering. He's gone from being sloppy in possession to being Mr Reliable. Spraying balls left and right, little ones twos, nice lay offs. The complete package �

@Dsport_channel: Imagine if Wilfred Ndidi is a british player, the Hype and support he is going to see from the media. Let grow our Talents from here, we should treasure what we have as africa!!! Ndidi Midfield Beast

@ayushfernando10: The assist from ndidi is just as good, sets him up perfectly. Would've been rude not to place it in the top corner

@_Grimanditweets: Ndidi teed him up exquisitely there.

@Mattyflash23: Ahh it's like watching @England vs Holland, Gazza to Sheringham, to Shearer > Gray to Ndidi, to Hamza...The names just roll of the tongue...�

@Daywhaley: The assist from Ndidi ������

@ladisayz: Ndidi sabi ball choi

@apw024: Ndidi with the spatial awareness

Lingard is a very useless player

No goals no assist throughout 2019

Happy Birthday Joebie

Starboytwo:
azin I no understand Could you believe I was actually debating weather I should go watch man u or stay home, but the lure of watching artetas arsenal(4 d first time)and hopefully Pogba was tempting so I went to the viewing center...

Around d 30 minutes mark, i was so uninterested that i was surfing nairaland I swear...

Martial and rashford=zero...

The James boy can only run dazall, he can't dribble or turn or anything, just run, and then they rough handle him anyhow = 1

I've never liked Fred, he shouldnt be playing for us. Him and perreira should look for a team of their level...

Harry Maguire (people wondering how he became skipo) very very stiff... Maybe the 80 Milla was a scam

Degea nko? I don't even know... We have a bunch of crappy players, I never even mention lingard

Mtcheeew

Something is really wrong somewhere, I left the place around the 74th minute, I was just bored, super bored...

And I envy united fans who manages to watch our every game...

Poor man coutinho

Danielnino00:
Eze may get called up by England in March if he keep up his good form..
But making Euro 2020 squad would b hard with players like Madison, Graelish and Alli in the AMF role..

charlesemeka85:
Am not saying u re the only who attacks him but 80% of folks in here do that on daily which is very bad.

Even when he is making sense or not he is been attacked and called out which is unfair
