i think he has done very well and he is still very young. this also means she should become our next chief of defence staff

MiddleDimension:
he is a very handsome man, the CAS

Jimi24:
You accept guys who should be selling motor spare parts into the Army, what do you expect? A mine protected vehicle ran into a big IED and got destroyed only for the chickenshit trader as oldier to start crying and blaming his Chief of Stafflike a woman.

Toju200:

If I manage to get your service number , you will beg for mercy.

I always thought the NA could learn from the other insurgencies, like eg Syria.
The video of the frontline shows little progress albeit not enough. Our soldiers did have protective gears, few MRAPs but with limited airpower, limited intelligence and 'logistic problems'.
Please go read where with the current defensive 'Super Camp' strategy, the nature of attacks mostly faced by the army when on patrol are ambushes.
Apart from equipment, the whole strategy is faulty where the army hierarchy is content with laying back and absorbing attacks while going on patrols which achieve nothing than engaging enemy forces.

Its why the army chiefs should be changed, but what do you expect from Buhari who took 6+ months to select his cabinet.

Ok..let me throw in some economics so u can understand better. According to World Bank, before a country can move at her right pace of development, ur tax/revenue-gdp ratio(revenue of a country compared to its GDP) has to be at least 15%. Nigeria has one of the lowest ratio in the world at 6.5%.. The issue here is not that there's fund and they do not want give them, d issue is dat there's no enough fund..The Nigerian military 2020 capital budget which happens to be one of the highest on the capital budget is N110bn($300m) whereas if we had enough(15% tax/revenue to Gdp) the capital budget should be at around $4bn(N1.4trn), imagine what the military would be able to do with what that amount if they doing all they are doing currently with little they have.

We all do not like those useless Hilux vehicles neither does soldiers nor the authority want them..buh you should also remember that the funds available to them cannot be compared to that of Algeria one bit..They don't have any other choice than to go for less capable vehicles.
The first thing about any good army is their financial capacity and then ideas follow..They know the things they need buh at the same time they don't have enough funds for those things. So the need for prioritizing comes in.

Toju200:
The general is now a research fellow at NARC.it was a redeployment

Toju200:
Hmm..
I salute those Men I swr down they are brave strong and relentless.I won't say they were given wrong info..But ISWAP changed tactics quickly against them According to the General A gunship just arrived and was authorised to destroy anything that moves .
He said they were good to go..They have all they need.They are not running and will continue to fight...
The ARA was also with them..
Those men are brave and strong I salute their courage...

HIGHEST RESPECT TO SOILDERS OF OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE.

Mike..ZA:
Oh you know I'm smoking a fine cigar not some fake Nigerian cigarette. Now if I may ask are there any lies in my post? Is Nigeria producing better 155mm shells,MRAPS,Drones,howitzers,IFVs and mortars than South Africa?. YES or NO please.

Mike..ZA:
Are you bringing weapons industry into this. South Africa has a bigger and better weapons industry than Nigeria,but you blokes were reluctant to admit that this would influence the outcome of a war between both countries if it ever became a possibility.

Z3tdee: [color=#000090] Cameroon Navy receives new patrol vessels, landing craft [/color]

https://www.defenceweb.co.za/images/stories/SEA/Aresa_Defender_Landing_Craft_400x300.jpg

Cameroon’s Navy has taken delivery of two new Spanish patrol boats and a landing craft, providing a major boost to the country in safeguarding its maritime domain.

Cameroon’s Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Jean Mendoua, commissioned the 23 metre Aresa 2300 landing craft and two 24 metre Aresa 2400 CPV Defender patrol boats at the Cameroon Navy Base in Douala on November 21. The commissioning also included a presentation meeting as well as a tour of the boats while moored at the Naval Base, according to Grup Aresa Internacional.

The Spanish shipbuilding group has worked extensively with Cameroon, supplying a sizeable number of vessels to its Navy, which has 12 Aresa boats in service. This figure includes six Aresa 750 Commandos RIBs - delivered last August -, five 1200 Stealth RIBs and one 1200 Defcon RIB – delivered in May 2013.

Further deliveries will take place in February when two 32 metre patrol boats will be delivered.

Grup Aresa said that for the Cameroon Navy, the Spanish shipbuilding group is providing two years of technical support, as well as spares and boat refitting services.

Cameroon’s navy is relatively well equipped in order to secure Cameroon’s oil installations and prevent maritime crime and is optimised for coastal and river patrol, especially in light of rising levels of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.

It has around 40 coastal, inshore and river patrol craft as well as several combat patrol vessels.

CAMNEWTON4PRES: the pseudo boko haram drop their weapons before crossing the border

CAMNEWTON4PRES: Naija police budget indeed, the same policemen who sleep in toilets? We saw how your school police looks like ? We saw how your soldiers were fighting over fish's head , bottom line your army and police are ill equipped and ill trained, they are useless to say the least and can't win even a wresting match against us talk less about a war, we will simply destroy everything .

Someone mentioned Chad, like I said we train them, and Chad can't dare Cameroon, not only we feed them but we are more advanced than them in all ramifications, furthermore it is not in our country that they are backing rebels groups, what is the great Naija doing about Chad? Na throwing punches in the air won't save your country ?

For the one who mentioned airbase with frenc jet fighters stop being a slowpoke they have to stop in Cameroon for refuelling etc , we make money from that and we refused to go in CAR and die to protect French interests like you slaves have been doing in CIV, in Liberia etc naija is the African country used to maintain African under slavery , you think Cameroonian are mad? Lol we want to completely get rid of them but we know we can count on you therefore we have to b careful , our former president signed contracts with them what we do is to not renew them when they expire, as we can see there are no French bases in Cameroon unlike in West Africa that the pseudo giant of Africa is supposed to protect .
Please kill that dream in your mind right now bombing our territory will mark the end of Nigeria . And do not think we are not aware of your shenanigans, trying to get us involved in bokoharam for where? We have made it clear we don't get involved in people internal problem this is in our constitution so you can ask your soldiers to stop throwing stones (and don't discuss that we busted u)

@ sambo , Bokoharam haram said they want to form a country out of northern Nigeria why should it bother Cameroon? Are we the one that should maintain the integrity of your territory? Why should we b against them? Do we call Nigeria to deal with secessionist groups in Cameroon? No

CraigB: Shekau is dead - says who?

Say Naai-gerian propagandists?

Even if he were dead...big deal! Boko Haram is still able to capture your soldiers' wives and children today.

So, in the end, Shekau's dreams and desires are happily being given effect to by Boko haram and you military can't stop it.
