Lives are being wasted everyday, we are talking of hundreds and thousands of lives of Nigerians since 2015 and all the PRESIDENCY with the like of known terrorists like Buhari, their grand patron, Patamni or whatever his name is, Shehu, Lier Mohammed not the dead pedophilic prophet Muhammad but our own very big nose Lier could keep spewing is about politics and how Ottom defects from one party to another instead of getting to the root of the situation or treating the Fulani Bandits in the language they will understand like in other parts of Nigeria. Well, Benue is the state where the COWARD past military general Gowon who committed so many genocides in Nigeria is from. So I'm enjoying every minute of it and I wish them what they did to my tribe back then. So I'm with the Fulani on wiping the whole of Benue if need be.

On behalf of Benue state and her indigenes, including myself, I REJECT General Yakubu Gowon.

We hereby direct you to return him to Plateau, his state of origin!

5m every month? To maintain what exactly?

Thief!

That is a Mecerdes Benz (Rosanbuar)
Fire Tender. Price tag depends on the capacity and capability of the Fire Tender.
N60m - N112m

Maintenance cost

1. Servicing every 6 months -
Engine oil - 35 litres = 30k
Oil filter/ Water separator/ Fuel Filter = N20k
ATF - 6k

Total - 56k

2. Other Technical faults that can gulp up N1.7m at a go is the FR- Module, however FR-module can last for 6 - 15years without issues.

I can confidently tell you that the maintenance cost of this new brand Vehicles will not go beyond 500k within the first 1 - 2 years of proper usage.

The N5m every month is for what?
5m × 12months = N60m.
In 24 months = N120m enough to buy extra 2 or 1 more fire tender.
Lol.... Corruption will eventually kill this country.

Note - If this vehicle is not a refurbished vehicle, then with proper operation by competent people this vehicle is expected to go 2 - 4 years without any major fault.

Because a new Mecerdes Actros vehicle is not beans.

Also Note: it is an emergency Vehicle it does not ply on the road everyday only when the need arise.

I do constructive criticism, counter me with facts, don't quote mean without facts else thunder will fire you idiot in advance!

If you are docile and have no brain to think avoid my post.

You're correct on all but one thing sir, na MAN TGM dem use as the base vehicle not Mercedes Benz Actros.

Salatavor:
in this world of Google na him you dey boast of these Useles knowledge. There is weakness within you.

And the Google world was built, and is being continually developed by illiterates like yourself ba?


Uncle strong man, aka no weakness or brain, remember the pen is ALWAYS mightier than the sword.

All wars are started and ended with pen strokes.

The bullets come before or after!

Salatavor:
You stopped reading because reading is not your thing. You should know enough to know that's a mistake. Someone that knows enough to call the aircraft turboprop knows the difference between jet engine and turboprop. But you decided to use that escuse to further your long running family tradition of not reading and illiteracy. What good thing did you think will ever come out of your calling me out? Idiot is telling me female sheep is ewe. Ode where you expecting a female sheep to be called b#tch sheep before? Just dey nitpick my comment for grammatical errors. Ode.

Bros, your education and civilization levels are clearly not so great.

Mine aren't the highest, but definitely I'm not at this your market level of flinging unnecessary insults!

With all due respect sir, turboprop and jet are two different types of propulsion plant.

And if you truly knew a female sheep is called an ewe, why did you wait for my correction to use the word ewe?

You and this your I too know behavior remind me of our local journalists that refer to Tucano turboprop airplanes as fighter jets and Mi35 attack helicopters as attack aeroplanes.

This is probably down to poor research from them, or stubborn I too know as you are currently displaying.

I normally won't engage an obvious ITK like yourself, but Sallah don give me time...........if you like continue in your myopic ways, if you like take correction and improve yourself.

Na your effin business.

Salatavor:
I nor dey follow crowd I nor be sheep. Dey do moo moo dey follow everybody because I dey fear criticism. Na. You are sheep, probably a ram no, no you can't be a ram, cus you are always getting bleeped by the government. You must be a female sheep, a b#tch sheep.

In the spirit of Sallah, a female sheep or ram is called an ewe.

Just seizing the chance to share knowledge #peace

Salatavor:
Terrorists will die and airmen will die too. Does it even matter to you at all... F#cking scum. Do you know how much it costs and how many years it takes to train an airman, the family and all concerned?

You want to strap people up and put them in a noisy low flying [b]turboprop jet [/b]in an AAA laden environment with the believe that terrorist will die. Is that what you call chances?

YES he has a right to speak out here, this is a mil forum isn't it? He has every right to speak his mind about the ills of the military without painting it in shining colors if he wish.

The tucanos will kill terrorists, it will kill airmen and it will probably kill innocent people when it starts dropping from the sky. This is a Kamikaze project.

That's where I stopped reading..... turboprop jet??

Smh

OP I dunno about you, but I met my wife on a dating app.

We bonded over religion, politics, movies and other topics.

4 years and a beautiful daughter later, I have absolutely no regrets.

Love is like shoe, one size does not fit all!

AGGRESSOR!!!

That chant alone makes me want to sign up this moment.

God bless our gallant flyers jare����

Odunayaw:
I'm glad the pilot is okay but why do I feel NAF is pushing a "hero" story to cover reliability issues of the Alphas

1 Crate of your brand for you sir.

My 1st thought as soon as the news broke

Litmus:
In the strange situation whereby we are defeating terrorists, herdsmen, kidnapers, separatists but overall insecurity is worst now than ever, exemplified by common bandits attaining the level of freedom and sophistication needed to shoot down military aircrafts, when are Nigerians going to unit in calling for the resignation of Mr President?

I’m not trying to be controversial and I have not ethnic or political axe to grind in anticipation of beheading anyone. I’m genuinely interested in opinions on how bad security in any democracy needs to get for the leader of that nation to resign.

The bolded is the main topic.

Insecurity and victory/defeat can only be dealt with after that has been cleared up.

Coolliot:
Where is the Co-pilot?

E mi o mo!

EricBraven:
Where did you get this from

A WhatsApp group I'm on.........many senior men including military are members.

The news has also surfaced elsewhere, and the pictures sure don't lie.

Toju200:
WTF
First of all Thank God for his rescue
Now wtf did I just read the shot down the plane..
At this point in time Drones are needed like now alpha jets pilots risk their lives too much because of the kind of aircraft they fly damn they have tried abeg

Brooo, e shock me o. Na from clap e dey turn to dance.

CDS and CAS should rework the air strategy for higher impact and less human/material/machine costs.

We have lost too many aircraft in recent memory. Doesn't bode well for future acquisitions IMHO.

PRESS RELEASE

ALPHA JET AIRCRAFT CRASHES IN ZAMFARA STATE, PILOT RESCUED

On 18 July 2021, at about 12.45 pm, a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft, returning from a successful air interdiction mission between the boundaries of Zamfara and Kaduna State, came under intense enemy fire which led to its crash in Zamfara State. Luckily, the gallant pilot of the aircraft, Flight Lieutenant Abayomi Dairo, successfully ejected from the aircraft. Using his survival instincts, the pilot, who came under intense ground fire from the bandits, was able to evade them and sought refuge in nearby settlements awaiting sunset. Using the cover of darkness and his phone set for navigation, Flight Lieutenant Dairo was able to elude several bandits’ strongholds and maneuvered his way to a Nigerian Army Unit, where he was finally rescued.

It is instructive to note that upon receipt of the news of the crash, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, had directed that all efforts must be emplaced to rescue the pilot. Accordingly, NAF Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms and helicopter gunships provided close air support to NAF Special Forces and Nigerian Army troops who were able to locate the crash site and the pilot’s parachute, while also combing nearby locations for any sign of the pilot. It is gladdening to note that while in hiding, Flight Lieutenant Dairo confirmed that the presence of NAF aircraft within the vicinity of the crash site helped in scaring the bandits who were after him, thus enabling him to find refuge and escape to a safe location.

It is important to also recall that only recently, the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, had directed the Armed Forces of Nigeria to do all it takes to flush out criminal elements in Katsina, Zamfara and Kaduna States. It is in fulfilment of this directive that the NAF, in conjunction with surface forces, has in the last 2 weeks mounted intensive day and night air interdiction operations against bandits and their hideouts, especially in these 3 states. Through these intensive air operations, hundreds of bandits have been neutralized and several of their hideouts destroyed.

Despite the setback of yesterday’s crash, the NAF remains committed towards fulfilling Mr President’s mandate as well as other constitutional roles assigned to it. The willingness, readiness and tested ability of the NAF remains unshaken and unwavering as it continues to carry out its assigned roles.

Kindly bring the information to the awareness of the general public. Thank you.

Pics of the CDS, CAS and other Flag officers of the Air Force welcoming the hero back to base.

NAF has confirmed the crash of an Alpha Jet due to enemy action.

Praises to God Lt Dairo took his SERE training serious and was able to escape.

It is APPALLING that these "bandits" now have the ability to bring down aircraft.

These jokes need to stop fast

Leemaoo!

Alex my nigga......I hope say no be cruise you dey catch o.

How you go consult sotey you even do bodyguard duty for Maduka the attempted PDP candidate, still wan come enter the same election with Accord?

Make Dem no chop all the small dollars wey Maduka dash you.

Good luck in your pursuit sha because last last I see one of the "real candidates" compensating you with commissioner for information!

Educationalserv:
he doesn't face same kind of challenge s Nigeria face .go and find out how Sri Lanka did with Tamil tigers.when canada have large scale violence done inside canada leading to killing of 60 security personel and destruction of 100 public property and release of deadly criminal then we know the type of rhetoric the prime minister of Canada will use. Ask wj Bush and 911

The Sri Lanka method is the perfect example of what Nigeria needs to end insurgency.

But the comparative complexity of our society versus Sri Lanka will never allow such a solution to take hold.

As for the large scale violence, Nigeria provided the conditions.

Unfair policies, generally hostile and unfair government, ultra-poor economy, historical unemployment , biased government appointments, calling some 5% and others 95%, daily growing inflation and insecurity among so many others.

When the Canadian or US government provide these conditions for their citizens, let's have this conversation again!

9/11 and the war(s) it has caused..........hmmm, my brother we know that story has too many angles.

Let's stay with our relatively simple one lol

Educationalserv:
it for bandit and terrorist .not middle class hustling Nigerians .am not for the looters and bandit

Agreed, criminals need hard treatment. Consider the below though.

Unless proven otherwise, the accused terrorists and bandits are Nigerians too right?

As a Nigerian, there MUST be a basic minimum of Rights you have, just as it is in Canada. Or isn't it so?

In summary, Trudeau will never say he's speaking to anyone in any dirty language.

He'll simply get the mounties, whatever local police force and if necessary the Defence Forces to do their jobs with a minimum of fuss and drama.

That's one of the reasons why you found Canada attractive enough to relocate to, and Nigeria repulsive enough to run from, despite the latter being your home.

P.S I have lived abroad before, for a long time!

Sad how it went down.......this link to the collapsed condo just sums it up for me.

When last building collapse like that for Yankee, kill people join? #9/11

Madam carry her to an actual hospital now!

A doctor here can only advice based on what you tell him/her, whereas one in a hospital can do far more. Run tests, give drip(s), give injection(s), prescribe medicines etc!

Dunno why people think that Nairaland is a hospital.

Igbo Amaka!
Nigeria Amaka!!
Africa Amaka!!!

Na we get the world, if we agree to apply our brains and work hard!

Oldddd trick. NPF are vagabonds!

Na so one keep bullet for our door as we dey go Benin from Abuja.

God punish am that my cousin who is an intelligence service officer was there and identified himself before they could conclude their rubbish!

Unity Bank.

Money go dey the vault so?

On a real, I hate thieves.

Especially those who carry gun to steal from others!!

Sympathy to the bank and their customers.

Educationalserv:
they are hard working Nigeria runing enterprise like hospitals ,textile store,phone store pure water factory ,rice mills , interlock factory they are hard working and not like yours wanting war so both hard working and lazy citizen will become zero .no way.

Na who hand touch dey know how e be.

Not all of us that visit Nairaland are lazy and poor you know.

I wish you and your relations well, and pray sincerely that this language we are all being spoken to in ceases as I honestly feel it unnecessary in most cases

Educationalserv:
me dey chill for maple land .enjoy ur misery .

I hope all your relations are in Canada with you, oga maple.

Will be sad that you japa the language and they have to learn it!

iKingsley:
What would you expect from terrorist government?

Imagine they even go the length of kidnapping someone from another country, damnn!

We never had it this bad.

Surprised?

E be like say you don forget say Bubu run this kidnapping racket on Umaru Dikko as military Head of State.

In conjunction with Israel no less!

Madmohamed1:
Yusuf buhari will die the way his father is killing people

Baba don't visit the sins of the father on the son

He looks like he has been heavily drugged.

I guess they had to do whatever to nab him

LibertyRep:
Granted that the fire service "misfires' in that video, I sincerely doubt what is being poured into that truck is water.

How many many buckets and Jerry cans will they use to fill that truck? That's sheer stupidity and incompetence and the onlookers might have attacked them.

But then, this is Nigeria and anything is possible.

Me sef wan assume that they are mixing the foam chemical.

But as you say, Naija anything fit be!

Iceyjayz:
Incredulous

Na so we see am o

lapazi:
All you conspiracist lol
Epstein the convicted rapist?
Guy go sit down!

I'm only talking based on the man's tweet, of which his wife has reiterated something of that nature in an Instagram post.

Epstein was on suicide watch yet he "killed himself"

You know what that means?

Someone that is checked on every 10 minutes, has 24/7 guards and is in self isolated confinement except for said guards killed himself.

How biko?

And those guards are about to walk away free from court, no blemish as professionals and back to the same jobs they clearly did not do well.

If there is no hidden hand, how possible is that kind of escape from punishment for such breach of duty?

Sometimes we need to connect the dots. Not everything is conspiracy theory

Jeff Epstein's case comes to mind.

Plus McAfee tweeted some time last year that he will most likely die "by suicide", and that he was tweeting so that the world knows he DIDN'T kill himself when it happens!

Odiegwu and RIP

The driver is wrong but the VIO too is wrong.

The truck na regular 4 ton Canter, so what is heavy duty about it?

The regulation says regulate time movement of heavy duty trucks, he go dey check Canter.

This is the overzealousness we all cry about.

Speedy recovery sha Mr VIO!
