₦airaland Forum

As a military enthusiast, it is my opinion that threat assessment should not apply to the Air Force. Threat assessment should not. Because the Air Force is an extended fighting arm at short notice. The air force is the very long defense arm of any nation, with response time of few minutes. Hence, the NAF should be developed to full all-round capability. Threat assessment shouldn't apply to them at all.

See what is happening all over the world. India vs Pakistan, Israel vs Iran, US vs Yemen, Russia vs Ukraine, etc. The NAF must be recalibrated to all round strength. Not the trash we currently have.

Know this,,, Navy or air attacks from 2000 miles away can only be repelled by the Air Force. Only the Air force can vector to such an attack. The Army, Navy and Air defenses would be helpless. And if you dont have a capable air force,, the entire military would be decapitated within 24 hours of war.

To the Nigerian Air Force. They are the weak link in the Nigerian military architecture. I have always known this. Their penchant for buying low end jets (M346), lack of air superiority fighters, lack of long range interceptors, bombers, refuelling tanker, AWACS, long range air-air missiles, long range anti-ship missiles, etc, is a thing of worry.

The NAF as presently constituted is a Shame for Nigeria's global and regional status . They lack the capability to defend Nigeria against a first strike launched from 2000 miles away. With intelligence or news of an impending attack, the jets would already be in the sky doing patrols, sorties of patrols ready to vector to any threat, with air refuelling, plus AWACS providing far-beyond Intel.

M-TRACON is coming very late. We should have had it long ago, but it still needs a potent Air Force to back it up.

The NAF lacks the reach, strength, numbers, expertise and capability to vector and stave off an air or naval attack from 2000 miles from Nigeria. And, that shortcoming would see the death of service chiefs, top generals, etc, and the destruction of armoury, air bases, warships, radars & equipment, within the first 24hrs of an attack.

While you may argue that Nigeria faces no such threat.... True. But when such threat happens, you would NOT be able to build military capability at short notice. It takes over 10 years to acquire, train and develop air capabilities.

A new jet takes 3 years to build. Super Tucano took 7yrs to deliver. You would not be able to catch up whenever the threat comes. Big powers are currently fighting, no one would sell you jets now. Our NAF chiefs are very stupid. The NAF needs recalibration to meet contemporary threats, and specifically to develop capability to defend against long range attacks from air or sea.

It's what it is. Same thing with Christian Europe. They were conquered by the Romans under Constantine. Wars and conquests usually shape and influence people for life

Same thing happened in Turkey. A former strong Christian territory that was conquered by the islamist Mehmet 2 emperor.

Yorubas lost Illorin to Fulani and Lagos to Hausas all in a space of 100 Years, how possible is this.


Wait until Dangote or Rabiu declare to contest for Lagos Governorship position before you realize who owns and controls Lagos.

Hmm. That one sef dey. It would happen soon.

ukukaegbu:
They will come and tell you it's the Igbo that brought Fulani to enslave them.

that's the thing o. They seem blind to their real enemies

stainzvill:
Fulani don pocket these ones tey tey

no be small thing o

If you want to see a people with lost identity, battling with mental enslavement in religious vigorousity for 7 generations, go to Ilorin.

Ilorin Durba is Fulani cultural celebration. It is the celebration of Fulani cultural dominance in Kwara, yorubaland. It is hurtful seeing Fulani foreign culture being celebrated by Yorubas in yoruba land. While Yorubas were banned from celebrating Isese festival on their own land.

Fulani are not indigenous to Kwara or Nigeria. The Durba is imported fulani culture. The turban is imported Fulani culture. Where is the yoruba culture in Kwara. It is a shame o.

Yorubas in Ilorin are lost; culturally lost, religiously lost, mentally lost, and geo-politically lost. It is a shame.

Yorubas in Ilorin could not celebrate Isese festival in their ancestral land, but Fulani migrants can celebrate Durba, with yoruba active participation. Every display in the pictures are not indigenous to Nigeria. The Durba is foreign, the turban dressing is foreign. And yorubas celebrated. Na wa ooo.

They first need to ensure all the foreigners are identified in their community and required to register with immigration or get deported. A lot of foreigners in the North need to be deported first before Hausa can get their power back.

Removing foreigners is a job for Immigrations. Let's hope they wake up to their responsibility.

They never rose before. Tinubu made their son Mumumodu Buhari the President, not the North, if not, the North would have made him the President on the three occasions that he tried and lule, and started crying all over the country like bush baby.

Olusegun Obasanjo made Yar’Adua President, not the effort of the North. The North has never ever risen except in killing and bloodshed. So, stop overeating yourselves

You got it wrong. Read the post again

As the 2027 elections approach, we want to make sure that the Hausa people are well represented in that election. We want to make sure that indigenous northerners join political parties, and come out to contest elections in the land of their ancestors.

Enough of Fulanis taking all the elective positions from the North. In the Presidential, Governorship, Senate and HoR, state House of Assembly, Military, Police, MDAs, all positions in the North West are taken by fulanis. Children of foreigners completely subjugated the indigenous tribes on the North West. We are saying Enough is Enough.

At yesterday's meeting, indigenous northern groups resolved to push for, and support only Northern indigenes, real Nigerians, for all elective positions at Federal and State level.

Consequently, we are calling on indigenous Northerners who are lawyers, academics, bankers, consultants, professionals, retired senior officers, etc.... we are calling on them to join political parties. Educated Northern indigenes across all professions are called upon to join political parties, and present themselves for elections. For Federal, State, and Local Government positions, in the executive, legislature, judiciary, military, MDAs, etc.

Educated Northern indigenes must come out and contest. Do not leave your ancestral land to foreigners to rule. Every effort must be made by Nigerians to ensure that indigenous Northerners take priority in elective and appointed positions.

We are calling on President Tinubu to prioritize indigenous Hausa people in political appointments. We call on every political party to ensure that No Fulani man controls the state political apparatus. And we call on our fellow indigenous Nigerians in the corporate world to create opportunities for indigenous northerners to thrive. No more Fulani foreigners ruling Hausa in hausa land. No more Fulanis taking all political offices. Fulanis can go contest in Futa Djallon. 2027 elections is for northern indigenes ONLY. No more Fulani foreigners ruling us in the North.
