A well trained Army under ambush

People think because we are not soldiers, we don't know what we are saying

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

Friedyokes:
acting was an intense dumpster fire .

story was rubbish.

only redemption was kano who carried the entire movie on his back with his acting , brought the character to life.

Exactly

I slept off during the movie self

The director is wack

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 I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the curriculum for basic hasn't been updated and is very outdated.

All your people fool for she'll, Chevron, Exxon, Mobil, we no complain.
Just this low paying government work, and we cannot hear word!

You're a child

NNPC, FIRS, DPR, CBN pay way more than many oil servicing firms and top banks

And less I forget, with way less workload

Be guided

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.

Nbote:
Wait until U go to Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) den U will really understand d kind of Nepotism dat is ongoing under dis govt
On a lighter note mayb they all thought it's a cow related agency considering it is called NAMA

Chai, this guy, you're not serious

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

farem:
Mr misguided!
Who is the enemy here? Isn't better for fire of God stop someone who is of the devil and pretending to be of God or someone who is out to bring another person down through lies?
The society will be blessed for it if the real evil is rid of the society.
What really is your interest between the two and how difficult is it for you to save the humanity by saying AMEN to eliminate the real enemy of God (humanity) between the two?

Oga, you're not Lord Commander of Heaven's Nightwatch. You don't fight God's battles for him.

Christ is explicit on. "Pray for your enemies". Even Apostle Paul says to "do good to those who persecute you". You know this and yet chose to ignore it because you are no better than he is.

Like I said....continue

farem:
May this Jesus of Nazaret bring down his fiery judgement over you and this Adeboye.
May the anger of God fall without mercy over any of (two) of you who is of the devil.
In Jesus mighty name I pray (send in your "Amen" now

So this is how Christ taught you to PRAF FOR YOUR ENEMIES

Continue

Fire Marshal of Heaven

demolition:

This is where you get it all wrong.
The Nigerian army as an institution is very lazy and sometimes consoles misbehaviors from the ranks.

A while back I saw a video that was trending,
a video of newly graduated female recruits threatening to take hostile actions against civilians.

The first thing that came to my mind is if this recruits are thought the basic dos and don'ts in training.

Do we train our recruits like rebels or weting dey sup.?

The average Nigerian soldier thinks he is the law.

All this boils down to training.

No soldier in a forward thinking army would behave like a thug and it would get over looked by the provost Marshalls

Thank you for this

I said it before and I say it again, if TRADOC Minna can't do its job, let them scrap it or reorganize

Odunayaw:
If you're asking this it must mean you have zero idea on what training is like in the Army. So what chest have you been using to chide them?

Anyway, there's a documentary of how life is for fresh recruits and NDA cadets on YouTube. If you truly want to rid yourself of ignorance, you can find it

It was rhetorical...

Its not my problem if you don't understand the structure of a rhetorical question

All I see is a thread encouraging gold diggers spouse.

Even below #60k, you can marry. Rome is not built in a day.

Watch the testimony of Mrs Faith Oyedepo on you tube and thank me later.

Despise not the day of small beginning, I believe with God, all things are possible.

Start small and grow big says the motivational speakers.

You see those people called motivational speakers have landed their audience in more troubles than necessary

You better be wise my bro. No go they measure trouser length with another person o

As a man, I wouldn't advice any Lady to try it ooo

Abeg, if una no like una sef, pity the kids you may try to foolishly bring into the world

Besides, nothing causes marital problems like the scarcity of funds

I know you are desperately searching for a man, so you are trying to be in your good books. As old age don come na, your brain don reset. I bet you wouldn't say this in your early-mid 20s.

So when BOKO Haram comes, they will plant head and BOko haram terrorists will fall down and die miraculosly or run away from the amazing head planting

Oga, please post something else jare

DubaiLandLord:
Is not all about giving me gun, can you also pay me? I have other options of making money, so if you wan give me gun to go and fight in the North East, are you ready to pay me #5m per month Most Kanuris were quiet, while some where cheering and rejoicing when Boko haram was attacking Christians and churches in 2010 and 2011.

#5m nah just salary, my allowance will be 150% of my salary too with a life assurance worth $1,000,000 Then I must have an artillery support, MI-28 for close air support and a helicopter that must always be available to supply anything I need My life is too precious for me to lose in a senseless war that have nothing to do with me.

If you can't provide all this, then you can go and join the Nigerian army pass out from depot as a private earning 47k and quickly volunteer to be posted to Gudumbali to help the Kanuris in fighting the monsters dey created all because of say dem carry religion matter for head, while I keep on lashing Una(Nigerian army) for yansh because of Una cluelessness, cowardly act and unprofessionalism.

Normally I don't support your posts but the bolded statement is very true

Funny man but I support the bolded statements

He is just trying to balckmail us into supporting mediocrity

JOSCOFELIX:
95% of you guy saying rubbish about the military operation in the borono have never or dream to come to the battlefield. some people say that the military lack coordination in an attack against it battalion or barrack, let me give you weapon so that you go to the battlefield and when your base is under attack you advance toward enemy and see if you will make it. i imagine how some of you guys think , let us drop patriotic and let tell our self the truth. i have being the battlefield as a civilian more than two time and i have seen thing, forget all this rubbish media produced ,make a trip to the battlefield and see how it work their. some say what training are give to them in deport and NDA . the NDA and deport you are saying your have not gone their or see the formation. some say will overrated the special force let me tell you all guy saying those type of rubbish are big FOOLS. i heard of some men in this country saying that they are private mencensarie and claiming ex us army , this men are number 20 to 25 they went to the CDS and say that want to operate in the battlefield the CDS gave them two armored personal carrier and some guntruck . just after two attack from iswap the men that clam ex us Solider return the APC and Guntruck to the DHQ and run . you cannot seat in your in house and being say rubbish about what you do not have knowledge about. they make be mistake with military but they are two meter i heard of the mistake

Oga, its all there for us to see

Stop blackmailing people to carry weapons and fight. If thry do well, we praise them like we praise Late Abu Ali (Rest his wonderful soul)

They are mostly uncoordinated and bereft of basic tactics. Planting of head should have been outdated and banned but trust them to stick with mediocrity.

Are we saying there are no brilliant officers? NO. But they are few and far between and in fact those rare breed of officers rely on their ingenuity and not the nonsense taught at Depot and NDA

Odunayaw:
Planting head alone is all you think they do?

Hence my questions bro...

Watch any video of NA in a firefight

See disorganization..you'll see them shooting sporadically and most time, you can't even tell who the leader/officer is

What goes on an depot or NDA is what I don't understand

Odunayaw:
Leave the generals a bit. Forward operations take ingenuity from the officers on ground. If this is the best they could come up with, I am very ashamed of them.

Haba!

Bro, not to inflame tempers but hope you see my point about the quality of training given to these officers.

Is the NDA just for show or is the SSC course just for gra gra?

What type of training do we give our soldiers? Is it yo plant head alone or just go through unnecessary hardship while ignoring battle tactics.

I have always said it and I will continue to say this; TRADOC of NA is at the root of our Army's problems and if that organization can be revamped, then we may yet see better fighting men

ugo4u:
Even NYSC members will put up a solid defensive barrier around that base, which kind nonsense be this? I personally don't believe this is an active military base/outpost even a dummy will know they're sitting ducks in that open field.
Bokoharam don't even need to come close to displace them, 10 technicals from 500metres away will do the job.

Recruit well....No

Okay train your officers (many of which were recruited via dubious means)...NO

Nigerian Army for you

And somebody said Harden is a better offensive player than steph



Some people's true talent lies in stand-up comedy

Napoleon55:
Eze is not far ahead anybody in our fold except Etebo,
in time u will c it.
Eze ,Olise,Iwobi,Aribo,Nwakali,Ejaria,
they r all just above average players for now.
Time will tell who among them is truly a top player,bar Iwobi we have all seen how far he can go.
The only advantage he has over some of them is his stature as a midfielder,
That kind of stature and height fits our present midfield more than the other players'

Please could you elaborate on his stature and his advantages to out midfield. Not that I don't agree with you, its just that I don't understand..

Ppogbae:
CAF and FIFA need to start penalizing countries that do not have have stadia up to standard for World cup qualifiers. These postponments are getting ridiculous. We should've had a handful of 2nd round games completed by now!

You have a point but please understand that the lack of a FIFA standard stadium in a country may be due to other factors besides corruption in their FA... things like GDP, insecurity etc.

In those cases, it may be unfair for FIFA to swiftly penalise them without first seeing how they (FIFA) can help out

andrewbaba44:
I love this

He should not go to Huesca to stay at the bench

It’s better he stays there and keep on improving

To play for division 2 team no be crime

True..plus if he continues his fine form, better teams would lok his way
