Oga Lstar, you have not still given me the breakdown, do it please, Thanks

SiriusBlack: @Quid
I have read with great amusement, your constant bashing of this thread...I know how you come here at 3:am to heap accusations on me..calling me a betrayer and all that...
Let me tell you something...No amount of insults, abuse, and accusations will ever make me stop my work...you can come here, post photos of sulptures, and other stuff like you have done in the past, it just won't stop me..I will keep posting photos from the frontlines, relaying requests for equipment upgrades, and when we eventually get Shekau, I will break my no corpses policy and get exclusive photos to put here..I'm not going to argue with you over what you call classified or otherwise, Only if soldiers at the frontlines tell me to stop, that I will, and so far, I have peeps who keep pleading with me to also put their own photos online too..So you see, shout and scream from now till next year, I will keep posting...you can't stop me..This thread is not for me, or you, or for Gen.Minimah...this thread is a piece of history that 30 years from now, will be vey valuable...Since our journalists prefer to chase celebrities than get behind the camera and visit Maiduguri, I will make this thread my work...Only my death can stop this work...Our troops's stories have to be told...NLders, if I eventually pay the ultimate price, I have given instructions to a close friend, to reveal my identity...till then, this is my war..quid, this is the last message I will ever send you.
God bless a Unified Nigeria.

@Sirusblack, You are a True Spartan Spirited Patriotic Fellow. Keep up d good work, ur name will be written in GOLD.

Lstar, no information yet? Have they arrived Nigeria. Whats up?

Ibnsultan: #unitedNigArmy

@ibnsultan, Are they seized or newly procured weapons

komekn: Siriusblack,

I want to be constructively critical and proffer solutions, military engagement is essentially about strategic management and the allocations of fit for purposes resources and assets, with the best return on application (investment)

Boko is roaming around with impunity because the right strategy and assets are not in place. I don’t know if our top brass are clueless, negligent or just downright corrupt.

Communication is everything in COIN, it seems we are not linked in, units are isolated not in any communication loop. There has to be an interface that should result in immediate actions from pre planned contingency resulting from battlefield intelligence and situational awareness. Expedience wins war and delay loses wars.

We order six Mi-35M helicopters and we think it’s an achievement only two have been delivered and we have the whole NE to cover what’s wrong with our strategic planning? I would buy 20 used mil 24 helicopters urgently from multiple sources Poland, Belarus, Russia very easily on the cheap no more than $3 million per unit and get a S.African or Israeli company to upgrade them with thermal night visioning weapons targeting systems and superior avionics within weeks and we will be operational.

Buy a number of used Su25’s from Russia, Czech Republic, Belarus, Georgia, etc, of course these planes may not be as good as the A10 but are very robust and need minimal maintenance reputed to fly on poor quality aviation fuel, even kerosene, and petrol, again not more than $2million per unit, pick up 24. Possibly even cheaper get after market kits from Israel to upgrade them.

The mbb bo105 is familiar to the NAF we can buy them and have after-market upgrades kits fitted for laser targeting, thermal and night visioning, ask the Germans for a friendly deal at 200k per unit we should get 30 with tow anti tank missiles. That’s not more than $8 million incl. upgrades., that will enable us to give quick fire support through unit commanders not central command even with multiple engagements.

Again get in touch with our friends the Germans used 100 leopard 2 tanks 250k each as a deterrent at our base camps and forward bases that’s a mere $25 million for arguably the best MBT in the world. Another thing to consider most of them have never seen combat are well maintained and I bet in excellent condition, also I got great trust in German engineering. We have a huge trade deficit with the Germans in our favour so credit terms will be very easy.

The deal changer is IFV’s and APC’s with the right weapons stations not light armoured vehicles (igirigi), that a 20mm will rip right through and don’t have enough fire power to reply in kind and with accurate precision.

When I talk about weapon stations I really am talking about remote weapon stations with laser range finders with target acquisition software making use of thermal and night vision technology. Depending on the weapon type you can be almost 100% accurate even at ranges of 1.5km, that means one IFV or APC could possibly take out multiple boko technical’s and their stolen APC’s before they can even see where we are. This would be a game changer in this war there would be no talk of desertion and for sure, know where near the level of casualties we have experienced, which is probably in hundreds.

Currently our procurement to me stinks; I would like to know how much we paid for those giant Chinese MRAPS that are not fit for our purpose.

You are Welcome, Komekn

This is exactly what Oga Jona needs now, Brilliant suggestions, can somebody pass the message across to him, so that he can prudently
spend the I Billion USD when he grabs it.

Henry120: Desertion isn't new in the military. Bowe bergdahl, the american soldier recently exchanged for 5 Taliban commanders from GITMO was a deserter. It is not new, it would continue to happen as long as wars are fought.

Here is what the COAS had to say on the isolated cases of desertion

“Most pple want jobs,even if it means joining the Army when the reality of military service comes he drops his rifle & runs away”Gen Minimah".

@Henry120, read in between the lines, she wasnt talking about desertation but Lack of High tech weapons to wipe them off during the attack. Thanks.

NafeesaAA: Imagine Almighty Nigeria Army fled from Dambuo and prevented from going back on two occasions, I guess it is high time these Civilian JTF are given arms to confront these lunatics. We don't have an army in Nigeria.

Ok, so that is the reason somebody was asking me what Happened in Damboa in the course of our discussion, its a pity in this country.
Iwatched a clip as Isreali jet fighters were taking out HAMAS rebels as they were entering their Bunker Tunnels.They were smoked out even in the Night.
Nigeria is a JOKE.

Noted

Lstar, whats the latest information

komekn: Taking a back seat as well as the pressure of work.

Been disappointed by the perverse, vitriolic and debased politicisation of this conflict by our political leaders that's caused me great concern.

It is really Pathetic, but when it comes to boasting of country with the highest number of Private jets in Africa, Nigeria will rear its ugly head,
Our Boys are fighting without Air support, Why cant they take a clue from Operation Serval carried out by France in Mali ,What they are after is Selling Oil Blocks smh
#EQUIP OUR ARMY, BUY FIGHTER JETS FOR THE NA
Long live our Army against all odds

komekn: Siriusblack,

It’s great to see this thread is up and running again.

Don't think this will work, the problem is not money but corruption. You will not get a licence to export weaponry to Nigeria without full government consent, you would have to give the money to the Nigerian authority, and you know what will happen to it, POCKETED.

No quibbles, if I had the supposed capital investment budget of $1billion for our military this war would be over essentially in four weeks, With just 30% of it Boko would be almost inoperable in terms of it's capacity to carry out hit and run raids.

I saw a video on youtube today with Boko posturing and making a mockery of the Nigerian nation and its political leaders, in the background was a newly captured Streit Spartan APC.I do not know what specification we have on these vehicles ? But I have said time and time again it’s not just the vehicle but the weapons station on that makes the difference.

Please nobody in Iraq or similar would steal a French, US, German, etc APC, it would be suicide, worse than a Trojan horse, you have just made yourselves roasted beef. You would be tracked so easily all your communications monitored , bases exposed and at the right time you would be laser guided bombed to meet your fifty virgins.

Are we just buying the bare bones , I am not expecting the full suite of C4ISR systems on our APC’s and IFV’s communications technology is dirt cheap right now. What does it cost to have a tracker system on every single vehicle linked into satellite and mobile gps communications; for goodness sake we have our own satellite.

I’m sorry I find this to be gross incompetence, it costs less that £20 quid to have each vehicle linked in and tracked, it should be part of basic battlefield management and communications.

The minute they took that vehicle we should know all their movements all digital communications monitored , logged identified and by now I would have shekau eating HOT humble pie in chains. Instead I have this sadist posturing on youtube with his new captured apc from the Nigerian army.

I still feel there is massive corruption in procurement hence the quest for Chinese weaponry. I don’t even want to know how that APC was captured it’s too painful. Furthermore those BIG BOGUS Chinese MRAPS are in my limited opinion are not fit for purpose for the purposes of COIN in the NE. There are far better options available to us that will give us expedience and precision in taking out targets with great devastating effect.

It has become painfully apparent, with loss of numerous gallant officers and soldiers that the gap between expected outcomes and actual delivery is enormous. The matter is being politicised while our boys are being killed. I put the blame squarely on the politicians who are essentially clueless.

Where have you been all this while.
welcome back.

bidexiii: beegeagle./2014/07/15/in-cameroon-boko-haram-fighters-bodies-quickly-disappear/ please I think people should see this ? !

Link is not opening

Lstar4real: sir the balls seller ship Today but haven't receive tracking number ..m just hoping its not fake shipment

Can you send the other items down let me buy the balls over here. I dont have time again

Lstar, any update?

Why are they still allowing that Monster called Sen Ndume to breathe. Was it not since last two years that DSS saw over 70 call records from his phone to Boko haram?
The evidences are too glaring& Overwhelming.
Sabotage!!, Sabotage everywhere!!

rugged7: Well, i hope so too my brother. But the news from the North-east has not been uplifting at all. If this story is actually true then it sucks[color=#990000][/color]
http://www.nigerianwatch.com/news/4804-162-soldiers-desert-nigerian-army-over-the-last-week-as-boko-haram-defeats-kill-morale#sthash.LDkoicey.dpuf

This is a Story that can Weaken a Giant. Our Soldiers are dying in their Numbers. The ones that tried to protest are charged for Mutiny. No Air Power to support ground troops. Sabotage every where. Top Millitary Brass are smiling to Banks.
What is happening in NA is a reflection of the insincerity of the entire country.
Believe it or not

I mentioned this road earlier in the thread that said 70% of FG highways are motorable.
Guy the road is a nightmare, we had to make a u-turn earlier this year & Follow Aba to Owerri.
Its Horrible, yet we have Second term campaigners.

Lstar4real: everything fine just that the balls seller is too sluggish

So what do we do the seller right now?

Lstar, How far with our goods, whats the progress report?

EasternLeopard: Pls how many men on the average do we lose daily.

Obeedee lost a colleague yesterday, Sirusblack lost a friend same yesterday, yet till this morning no news in the media about any attack.
Our Soldiers are dying in their numbers daily & no records, no history.
Is it not because of 18 MOPOLS killed that ODI was obliterated??.
Have our Soldiers not died enough that the entire SAMBISA should be anihilated together with every living soul there, am asking oh!!!

Hi Lstar, whats the latest on those items, let me know the new total after those minus.
Thanks

quid: This is what they urgently need in that yeye NE ===>

@Quid, if you have been following the Thread ever before the data loss, there is no Boko Apologist in this thread. Even we were shown the PIC of the commander that gave others that caused the Mutiny in Maiduguri.
Sirusblack, Komekn & others have long time in this thread advised the FG on the use of All terrain & submersible Armoured tanks. All were postes here.
Sirusblack & others have also advocated for the use of US styled MRAP for conveying troops to Frontlines.
Adminstration flexes differs, OBJ' flex cannot be the same as GEJ.
We know we are loosing Gallant Men & that is the message everybody here is Preaching
#EQUIP OUR TROOPS.
@Quid- Cease fire ok!!

Brazil also has the highest number of Shemales in the world
"Quote me"

odeebee: just lost an officer last nyt

So sorry, was he KIA?

God bless our Gallant Troops, just as Sirusblack said, the Defense Headquarters need to boost their morale and confidence by Flooding the Army with Ak-74's and ATGMs to root out these devilish virgin seekers.
Thumbs up Sirusblack.
Sirusblack Sir, pls dont forget to be backing up your data incase of a replica of the past catastrophic data loss. Keep up the informative update post. Respect

Lstar,
those items i sent are all that is required for now
the 10 pieces of wallpaper,
water mat( big size)
plastic ball (1 lot)
i will need them this week pls

SiriusBlack: Time will tell if I will...The data loss was very disappointing..All that work..Wasted..I'm considering re-opening the Thread tomorrow...Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

Thanks Sir, SIRUSBLACK, we will be highly delighted you do it at least keep us updated. The God you serve will protect you now and always

From all indication, the number of dead soldiers is more than the published figures. Nigerian Govt, Please EQUIP THE ARMY.Buy Mordern warfare equipments. Sto playing politics with the LIVES of our brothers in the ARMY.

azpekuliar: I'm definitely following this thread. Sadly, Siriusblack's thread was completely erased by the hacking. 13volts was hounded out of NL by Nairalanders who accused him of being a mole within the Nigerian Army.

But which way are we really heading to, just imagine a Nigerian Senator going to United Nations to solicit for Aids to help build refugee camps for his constituency people who have Fled Borno into Cameroon borders.
They call for security during attacks, nobody responds, Boko Haram, are walking freely, Killing and Maiming them. Yet Federal Government does not want to equip our Soldiers. Where is the Billions allocated for Ministry of defence , when their jets cannot even have bombs in them.
It is a Pity

komekn: By the way anybody know what's happened to siriusblack, he's been able to give authentic reports of the reality of the boko haram situation.

And not the propaganda that been churned out very unconvincingly by the politicians who have unfortunately politicised the whole situation.

Komekn, thank God you are here Brother, i told my Millitary Friend that it was because of SIRUSBLACK thread that Nairaland was Hacked.
The country is embedded in gross Corruption. They are recruiting scores who will go & die like Fowls in the Hands of Boko Haram.
We couldnt hear from 13volts again, now Sirusblack has gone into oblivion, pls Gallantsoldier, pls do watch your back!!
I have come to a Conclusion that this country called Nigeria Hates when the TRUTH is told.

I dont know where the basis of the 71% is coming from.
The road that made up the 71% is it Lagos-Ibadan express way that Killed millions before now.
What of Port-Aba-Enugu Express road
What of Owerri- Port Harcourt Express road, that is now a Nightmare to Tankers & Trailers.
What of Aba-Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road. That road Sinks a Mack Truck Head. The list is endless.

What we are saying is that the development rate is not directly Proportional to the rate at which the Politicians, Govt officials are embezzling Trillions of Dollars.
My 1cent.
