BE PROFESSIONAL IN YOUR CONDUCT: THEATRE COMMANDER OPHK CHARGE TROOPS IN DAMASAK.

The Theatre Commander Joint Taskforce ( JTF ) NorthEast Operation HADIN KAI ( OPHK ) Major General Christopher Gwabin Musa has charged troops to be professional in their conduct in the performance of their operational responsibilities in the fight against insurgency in the North East region.

General Christopher stated this on Friday, 11 March, 2022 while on operational visit to 5 Brigade DAMASAK under Sector 3 Area of Responsibility.

The Theatre Commander who was accompanied on the visit by Commander Sector 3, Major General GM Mutkut were received on arrival by the Commander 5 Brigade Brigadier General GO Olorunyomi at the Tactical Command Headquarters Damasak

According to the TC, the Chief of Army Staff ( COAS ) Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya as one time Theatre Commander is conversant with the operational situation of the North East and has therefore, provided all the resources needed to prosecute and end this war against the Terrorist group.

He further stressed that with the much needed resources provided by the COAS therefore, troops must reciprocate by using the equipments professionally in order to end the menace of terrorism in the region.

Additionally, while calling on the troops to remain focus, dedicated and committed in all the ongoing operations in the theatre, he urge them to be professional in their conducts at all times and further warned that any unprofessional conduct from anyone will attract severe sanction.

He further emphasized on the need for troops to continue to be law abiding in their conducts and not to violate the fundamental human rights of law abiding citizens whom they are paid to protect.

Furthermore, General Christopher Musa advised all Commanders at all levels to be good managers of men and resources entrusted to them for the prosecution of the war against the Terrorist.

He warned seriously that any Commander who fails to judiciously manage the resources given to him will not be spared.

The indefatigable Theatre Commander also addressed Senior None Commissioned Officers ( SNCO ) to leave up to expected standard and justify the rank given to them by having full grips and control over their subordinates, soldiers. He urged them to see it as a rear previledge to serve in the North East . That the previledge has placed them ahead of their colleagues who are not serving in the North East.

In his address to soldiers, he said as soldiers we are trained to to face challenges and also to be able to defeat the challenges. Therefore, those committed to doing their job would be rewarded. He stressed that their promotion in the field must be base on performance. The Theatre Commander promised that those soldiers putting in their best in the operation would be considered for special promotion.

Present during the visit were component Commanders of Operation HADIN KAI, Principal Staff Officers of Headquarters Theatre Command and 5 Brigade, Unit and formation Commanders under 5 Brigade.

Is that a gatling gun on that mrap by the right? Or it's a cover for the gun?

...and when people speak up against the conspiracy against ipob and ipob is stopped who gonna save u from the grand schemes of The Fulani expansionist , you Yoruba and Igbo lack history and Fulani dosent they have their eyes on u.

Full grown adult won't just have common sense. And you would be beating kids for been dull

Always igbo ladies.

I not sure if the ammunition are much anymore, due to usage in Borno.

It's majorly navy ammunition, and you know navy is heavy ordinance...not grenade and mortars.....

tutudesz:
That deport is very big O!

If e blow, bye bye to Lagos

tutudesz:
Is it the one at Ojo barracks

Yeah, near kirikiri

tutudesz:
The vibration alone was terrible, I pity those staying close by.
When Ogomudia visited, he said "We just tasted the sounds of war and he pray we never experience the real thing"

The ikeja blast would have been childs play, if the armoury depot, less that 2km from my house exploded....the biggest depot in west Africa and one of the largest in Africa....half of Lagos would have sunk. The ikeja bomb blast while a tragedy was also a Blessing in disguise, as it moved the relevant authorities to repair and upgrade dilapidated ammunition storages.

January 27 bring back some bittersweet memories

I was ironing my uniform and my sisters, when I heard a huge blast and I ran down to check what was happening O!

When I saw my neighbor a Brig Gen shouting that his children and wife should come ouside i went inside to call my sisters and my senior brother, grabbed the New N500 note my uncle gave me (Mumsi went for NAOWA Function, has per PRO)

My classmate,her brother, Mom and their neighbor (5) were in front of my street (Obj Road) when we saw a army Range Rover speeding, 4 soldiers came out and straight to the fence started breaking it the next thing was boom!! boom!! boom!! Boom!!

The look on some Officers face was priceless , they were asking if it's was a coup 5 soldiers were running toward us and one of the Officers asked what was happening, Oga na fire near storage

The officers shouted we should jump the fence into Onigbongbo and leave the area before the situation gets out of hand Has we were lining up, the blast sound increased and everything went out of control so fast

My family (4) my classmate family (3) their neighbor (5) ran from Maryland to 3rd Mainland Bridge, were we charter a bus to Ikoyi. We were still hearing the blast and vibration the sky was red, we could not sleep that night.

Unfortunately no single life was lost inside the barrack , that was not the case for those outside

Am very grateful to God that the blast happened on Sunday and not monday, because the death toll would've been close to 50,000.

I remember this day, I was in my house in navy town , a couple of sub-lt were in my house, they probably just passed out if NDA less than 3 years, and my curtains were flying up, with each explosion, they asked us to open all the doors and windows, it was then the curtains stopped flying about, and it was then I learnt if there's an explosion avoid enclosed spaces. Those guys would be Commodores anytime soon, if they aren't already.

I'm a young hard work guy who's planning to settle down someday. I have a girlfriend whom I have gone to see her family with my own family , as in, we have done our introduction, what was remaining was for us to fix a date for our wedding.

But this girl started showing some nasty attitude. There was a day she came to spend weekend with me and I gave her some money to buy some food stuffs to cook, that day i received the greatest shocke of my life , my fiancee warmed me never to send her message like that again that she is not my slave.

As if that was not enough. Another day she came to spend some days with me but when she got to my house I was not at home that day. She went to the bathroom to get some shower but unfortunately there was no water running in the bathroom because we didn't had light for 2days so we couldn't pump water. Normally when there's no water like that we usually fetch from the next compound. Though I live in a room and parlour self contain with water running in my kitchen and bathroom.

To cut the long story short, my fiancee refused to fetch water for herself to take her shower. She had to call me on phone to come home and fetch water for her to take her shower. When I eventually got home at late hour, I took the bucket went to fetch water for her to bath just for peace to rain. I later asked her why she had to call me to come and fetch water for her to bath knowing fully well that I was not around. She said in her house, she does not fetch water that her dad usually call Aboki's and buy water from them. She told me that she can't leave a suffering life of having to fetch water, she can never do it.

Please nairalander is this a good sign or bad sign to watch out for?

Nah igbo girl, abi?

Zandena:
Is this CG fire service not galvanizing support for 2023 governorship ambition?
Time will tell most especially that he is from Bida zone that is expected to produce the next governor of Niger state

Me too, I'm wondering what game play the CG is up to, that is been covered as official visit.

SamuelAnyawu:

How do you guys involve girls, without letting them know your motive initially? Tell even the hottest and most sophisticated girl, what you want to do to her, you only just need to be interesting as you tell her......and let her know you are discreet, you have solved 70% of the issue and you spend less.

jakeporeshenko:
Clearly you’re a clown, you said that’s not NAF Maiduguri now I’ve shown you it is, anybody with half a brain can tell that’s the silhouette of the A-29 immediately…
Here’s a larger Google Earth screenshot, there’s literally no argument here.

The only thing I would agree to is that, the location is Maiduguri...this aircraft you are calling super tucano aren't super tucano, you can see the engines by the side and you can see the size in comparison with the j7, and the shape of the supposed tucano wings. This is most probably a picture from this year, but much earlier, before the f7s left the country and tucano came to Nigeria.... because there are only 2 f7s in the country, the rest are out.
My fellow clown

MAN1960ii:
In this image I can see the j7, are the back from China?

That's not even j7...those are mig 21s.

Lurker4Long:
Thank you. I didn't want to say it because some idiots here fixate on my nationality when I mention facts which contradict their feelings.

Me I'm even tired of them wanting to seem like omniscience, they would see someone paste, they would all copy it and paste, like it's them that got the information first or have a direct source.
Dongfeng mengshi 4x4 , that everyone was posting still we haven't seen proof it's in Nigeria. Why annoying crowd mentality, with scrutiny of details or information.

SuperSixSeven:
Sattelite images show at least 4 Tucanos based in Maiduguri

I'm starting to get tired of you people, at least tag your source for one, so that when your mistake is been called out you wouldn't be tagged the idiot.

1) the f7 are not in Nigeria, they are in China, only 2 are in. Nigeria, there are 3 on the flight line

2) these air crafts you are calling super tucano have dual engines with the propellers by the side, super tucano has a single engine with propellers at the front.

3) the time line of when the super tucano were in the country, the j7 were already out.

4) the paint scheme of the j7 isn't what Nigeria uses

5) the paint scheme on the false super tucano isn't the same as Nigerian tucano.

6) super tucano is a tiny aircraft, those aircraft in the pics are about the size of the j7.

This picture isn't even Nigeria

SamuelAnyawu:
You can’t say peaceful until we start a massive operation. As long as we continue waiting on them to attack an FOB I can’t say the NE is becoming peaceful.

We need to corner them and send these bastards to meet their creators.

I agree, but are there any signs of the military amassing for an offensive? Maybe from gist, or type of equipment and other indicators.

SamuelAnyawu:
See Roasting….

Hey samuel, would your opinion be that the north east is starting to become more peaceful?

DubaiLandLord1:
I no get strength for long talk.

I don give an answer.

Regarding reality, your answer isn't an answer.

DubaiLandLord1:
I cant join the Nigerian army.

If am a British or German or Canadian or Australian or Norwegian or Sweden military personnel, I will join and fight to death.

I can't fight and die for an organisation wey fit give me a mass burial or deny am one of their personnel If I get caught by the enemy.

They joined, nobody forced them to join. I don't even know if dem still dey bribe to join this days, before the arrival of Boko Haram, I dey hear and read stories of you needing a Godfather or pay your way into depot.

Your issue that affects you is here in Nigeria, not abroad.... so are you brave to change what affects you directly in your spatial environment or you just prefer insulting the ones that have prevented you from been a modern day slave, while you do nothing.

DubaiLandLord1:
The Nigerian army have all this weapons than the bandits now.

The Nigerian army personnel is just mostly filled with cowards, people that are more interested in harrasing and killing unarmed civilians for very tangible.and senseless reasons

Are you brave man?

Quality20:
Have lived all my life in the north and as a brilliant,discerning and intelligent mind , I can comfortably tell you that Hausa and Fulani girls are so shy, green, clean, decent, chaste and highly moral. Before you see a real indigenous girl involved or agree to immoral acts, it's gonna take u a lot of effort, unlike most others where they see immoralities as something that can't do without. I wish every decent man from wherever here in Nigeria get married to these moral ladies

The freakiest girls I have ever been with are northerners.

youghs:
There are alot of things we can do with $800 million dollars, US chopper is not one of them.
If the rumor is true then It's a total shame.
AH like the cobra is meant for fight against reasonably strong army and not those f**king scumbags.

The minister of defense made a statement sometimes ago, we are not arming just to fight boko haram, but external threats too.

EkehPraise:
Good morning brethren
I come again but this time with smiles on my fave because I am here to give a follow up on my thread of yesterday about my girlfriend not always calling or chatting with me even when I recharge and pay for her data subscriptions,
Here's the link to the previous thread :
https://www.nairaland.com/6858380/girlfriend-doesnt-call-me

Of which my fellow wonderful Nairalanders advised me accordingly.
Firstly she's a Nairalander so she saw the thread and people's reactions I guess that was what made her call me last night but I didn't pick up and when she 'Hi' me on whatsapp I ignored it also. This morning as early as 6am she called me again and out of church mind I picked up and she started by apologizing for her behavior then dropped the bombshell that her Pastor told her we are not compatible a year ago but she couldn't tell me because I have been good to her and supported her in every way.
I asked her so why don't you reciprocate my love or leave me alone ever since and her response was that her Pastor monitors her but I should give her another chance

So I told her no problem, I have to consulted with my own pastor (NAIRALAND) and he said I should stop keeping myself down to be used so I have moved on and she should do the same.

Happy Sunday brethren

I once dated a very pretty girl,there's this church her mom goes to, along the line the pastor too started calling her and praying for her, it migrated to pastor asking about her relationships, and discouraging relationships, after that it went to pastor trying to date her and sending her money. I have a policy, once you start making 3rd parties seem like I'm dating them too or in a relationship with them too, we are going to crash, there won't ever be a future.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says the threat to Nigeria by Boko Haram, ISIS and its affiliate, Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), is increasing.

Osinbajo raised the alarm on Thursday at the State House, Abuja, during the United States-Nigeria signing of a $2.1billion Development Assistance Agreement.

The VP thanked US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken for America’s support on security, infrastructure and intelligence

Noting that the 12 Super Tucano turboprops have been delivered, he said Nigeria looks forward to receiving the fighter helicopters.

Osinbajo informed Blinken that the security issues and terror threats in the North-East, Lake Chad and the Sahel persist.

“They seem to increase. We are looking forward to greater cooperation because the challenge of terrorism, especially of the sort we have seen with ISWAP, Boko Haram and ISIS.

“It will fester and it can really take on the kinds of dimensions that may turn out to be much more grave than we ever thought. We need to do a lot in that particular respect,” he said.

He expressed gratitude to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for their work in Nigeria over the years.

Osinbajo revealed his admiration about how USAID mastered the way of ensuring that there is a bottom-up approach and participation of beneficiaries.

“I think that accounts for a lot of the success that we are seeing in a good number of those programs. We really would want to thank the USAID”, the VP added.

In attendance were the VP’s Chief of Staff, Ade Ipaye; Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama; Minister of State, Industry, Trade and Investment, Mariam Katagum; US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard.

Others were Molly Phee, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs; Dana Banks, Senior Director for Africa, National Security Council; Suzy George, Chief of Staff, State Department; Tom Sullivan, Deputy Chief of Staff; Kathleen FitzGibbon, Deputy Chief, US Mission Nigeria

I hope we get the ah1 z viper... even the next best cobra version is above 30 years old, with old manual dials...
I surprised the USA even used it for that long.

Stormtrooper11:
I don't believe German operated Leopard tanks are overrated. In as much that I feel that the Abrams and Leopard tanks ain't the best tanks in the world, I do believe they both rank high in having the highest tank protection.

Leopard 2A7 tanks failed in Syria because of the mode of deployment of the tanks by the Turkish Army.

Every modern tank is vulnerable. Especially against systems like the Javelin ATMG and AT 5 ATGM. The AT 5 was used by ISIS in Syria against Militaries. In fact, they were responsible for some of the destroyed tanks, including Turkish M60 Patton tanks. Other techniques employed by the insurgents include : VBIEDS and mines. I am of the opinion that, the Leopard tanks of the Turkish army are stripped down versions.

Turkey uses the leopard 2, but not the leopard 2a7....I think they use leopard 2a4 , they had wanted to upgrade it, so that it can handle challenges in Syria better, but Merkel refused, because of the Kurdish people.
