JOSCOFELIX: They was an operation yesterday involving two mi 17 and two mi 35 at a border town the m17 was carrying upto 50 DSOF strike iswap sf base beliving to be housing some iswap new commander. More detail later
ugo4u: The coordination between these present set of service Chiefs is highly commendable and encouraging, something that was almost lacking during the reign of their predecessors (Buratai them) they've all tucked in their ego to work together with the CDS leading the charge; with the exception of the Naval Chief all of them where once theatre commanders so they know where the shoe pinches. As I'm typing sweet sounds of Jet engines propulsion just dey do Dorime over the skies of Kaduna; for three days now I've noticed an increase in night sorties, nothing is as terrifying as fire like brimestones raining over those forests in the night you gotta feel for those bandits them dey run helter skelter in the dark ISR just dey dish out coordinates to their Rotocraft/Jet engine wing men for proper straffing, to add salt to injuries NAF SFs and NA SFs will now do tag team on sweeping operations. Honestly, the reports I'm getting dey totori me the operation is so well coordinated that we haven't lost even one personnel. Some of our gallant NPF for KD don begin wear SF kaya but once e knack 11pm them don close their stations carry tire barricade everywhere prolly for security reasons.
mekussa: Imagine how the gunner would feel when he is shooting at full auto mode... At high speed... On an untarred bumpy road...under the rain..... And having to shoot (at say...a 60 degree depression)
Then also imagine what the ears of the rider would be passing through with the gun firing that close to his ears(protection might reduce the noise but also prevents you from hearing your team mate).
Whoever designed this should be airdropped naked into one of those bandit camps.
Covert1: Have to spare precious time...for this retort. This attitude and exactly the body language of your Buhari is what has become our headache
Listen the intelligence community here don't eat our own except of course till this present dispensation but have they the salafists gotten anywhere with there shenanigans, no! Rather they will find themselves naked without power and helpless if they dare.
How dare you...listen even the mad man on the street know there are salafist sympathizers in this Bubu government. We have never shied away but now to come out and say it like it is you think is some sort of joke.
What do you take us for, you think this is some sort of habadashri business or your archaic police beat of kobo kobo. You think the intelligence community throw out half baked nonentities into the system. Get off your high horse and listen all over again to the fine gentleman without bias and some patriotism.
Propaganda my foot. Are you serious. Please tell me you are not a police officer. How low in intellect can you go to suit primordial sentiments. You see why the police is not respected in any way in Nigeria. It's a shame to castigate the sacrifices of an intelligence military officer because you hate his positions on national issues which by the way are hard facts at risk of life and limb.
This country has never been so divided and that is a fact. The escalation of our internal crisis can be traced straight back to Aso Villa where the ascetic Buhari for whatever reason acts ignorant of intelligence estimates and briefings he receives but kowtows to people who think their ideology should be the law of the land creating more fires than the army can put out at any one time. Hey wake up and smell the coffee. The time for this nonsense has passed.
And stop waiting for evidence when your very Bubu is the very person with authority to do something about it but refuses to do so. Having said that not all though agree what the ramifications of that exposure will be but the problem here is Nigeria is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society and if you go after characters in the south then your body language at least should also reflect likewise in the north and that is not the case.
Foreign intelligence agencies already report now this Bubu government to their home governments as an Islamist northern government. That's a shame in 21st century Nigeria that has had in the past Fulani leaders.
Gen. McKenzie tells CBS News' David Martin his "working assumption" is that Kabul airport suicide bomber detonated while being checked by U.S. service members at a gate, but this is not confirmed. McKenzie says U.S. is focused on preventing other "active threats" to the airfield pic.twitter.com/HaBajJn0Az
Whyem15: We heard this same type of bullshit in 2012, up till this moment, no concrete evidence has been released. Since they've been catching Boko Haram members, none of them has been questioned on tape to claim any politician is funding them, no whistle-blower or investigative journalist have investigated any of such claims and published irrefutable evidence. What's the route of finance or they just go to the bank, collect cash and handover the cash to the terrorists? Let's even assume these accusations are true, that would mean either the DSS was severely incompetent in the last administration to the extent that they couldn't find members of the opposition to be corrupt or the administration itself was incompetent or scared to use it against political opponents and ensure they continue to stay in power and they are still incompetent for them not to be using it as a tool to discredit these government. In the time when people's gazette and Sahara reporters are getting confidential information in the presidency and publishing it, they haven't been able to find any documents on these claims.
This is not an imaginary setuation. This guy has been places and done things you can only dream about.
I know none here would pay attention to the above interview. Instead let's keep fantasizing on shiny new toys until they all become useless like the ones in Afghanistan.
Odunayaw: I really interacted with guys on ground up till Riyom side. Whoever cursed us with shortsightedness! Some guys in power are seeing to it that our borders stay easy to access by this guys
SamuelAnyawu: The North don’t emigrate for greener pastures outside Naija as most of them have this belief that their current ordeal is What God has destined for them.
Some other part of the country fully believes than an individual can get to the top against all odds.
Coolliot: This man has committed much greater sins and crimes, than he is facing now, if this man was truly prosecuted for the biggest crimes without interference, he might be in jail for more than 20 years. Efcc and Nigerian police are fast becoming useless in the international scenes, EFCC arrested a man that claims to be a businessman because 8 million dollars was paid into his account and another sum in the millions of dollars from another country, EFCC without investigation arrested the man....paraded the man , after then they started investigating.....they didn't find anything incriminating with the man, they wrote letters to the embassy and EFCC opposite number in 2 countries, those one's didn't even bother to acknowledge talkless of replying EFCC, they had to apologise and withdraw the case. The police and EFCC are acting on a principle of bad belle, like how can someone be successful and have money, therefore it's enough to burst you, without establishing a solid foundation. Most worrying is the political class are not doing anything, it becoming like EFCC is even more powerful than the legislative and executive.
Xbee007: Why will any reasonable human being fire a weapon in a crowded market??
During the series of jos crisis, I know of guys who got charged to IHL for accidental discharge, I also know of guys that got dismissed from the army because they could not account for their ammo or misplaced a couple of rounds, even if it was not intentional.
I believe bidexiii would be able to relate in terms of how strict rules of engagement from that time was.
I watch the graduation ceremony speech made by the GOC of 3div for course 45. He said a young officer posted to camp Buratai, he deserted for 400+ days, when he returned his unit did not want to properly charge him.
The NA needs to take disciplinary actions as a priority.
Some of the things we overlook this days are dismissal offense a few years ago.
We have good soldiers today but the Cortese is no more there in most cases.
ugo4u: ..and you didn't mention joescofelix2 our in-house Intels officer that have participated in past and future operations in the northeast. Is he a joke to you?
