I think if we take Tribalism and Religion out of the election process . He’s the best candidate .

And again. Can you take religion and tribal bigotry out of Nigeria politics?

Don’t be surprise Kwankwaso May have more votes than Peter Obi come 2023.

This country is not design to work .

What makes him the best.
Politics / Is Peter Obi A Better Candidate Compared To Others? by EricBraven: 2:09pm On Jun 17, 2022
Let discuss.
In what way his he better than other candidates.
Are the youth chasing shadows? Do they do due diligence before they start campaigning for him or they just join the bandwagon of IPOB supporters on the internet.
Your take

Cheap illiterate comment with no value to readers. Better not to comment than write rubbish o grin

You fit go tell Algeria, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan, Chad, Sri Lanka governments they all made wrong decision for buying hundreds or thousands of MRAP, APC, IFV for their Armies.

NAF too should have stopped buying combat aircraft because our jets and gunship helos were shot down grin

No.

For now no. We don't have open orders.

Money is going to many hundreds of troop and cargo transport vehicles approved some days ago by FEC FGN as largest military vehicles procurement in the history of Nigeria.

Am just afraid and hope its not same type of vehicles dry, no weapon, no night vision, and Bandits will be posing with it in photo few months after delivery. We don't know any names of vehicles in the plan.
Buy anything you want,when troops get overwhelmed they will abandon their vehicle

Chief we are losing Soldiers carelessly. If the US and UK are as careless as us, they’ll lose more Soldiers than us.

Base Fortification Zero
Using Open Hilux in Red Zones
Proper Base Surveillances etc drones.
Previously we had a poor response time for Air support due to inter-agency bureaucracy.

There was no need for the bolded statement.

We need to Improve. We are having the mentality of using numbers to win this war after all Depot go open and Nigerians will troop in for recruitment.

When you are tasked for a duty, you make use of the available resources provided.
When you say we are using numbers to persecute this war then i am forced to ask you,how did you come to that conclusion.
The TOC is vast and cut across border,we also do not have the required vehicles (formally we roll out men in soft skin vehicle at the begging of the war) but the reduction of soft skin vehicle has started.
The rate at which we lose men have also reduce incase you don't know

When making comparison and trying to be the smartest in the class,you need to consider density of troops and total mission encounter.
The total amount of troops deployed to fight the insurgency in bornu may be higher than the total amount the UK deployed to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Common knowledge is the the rate of encounter and density of troops is directly proportional to the amount lost. Take it or leave it

Small players in the market should meet with the big players like proforce and Innoson to organize defense expo, to increase collaborations with other players in the market to improve products and to also help link some of these startups with their target customers.

The primary local defense partner of the military will definitely be proforce and as such the military will prefer to buy whatever UAV proforce has to offer than what these startups are offering but the startups can partner with the likes of proforce or sell their systems and subsystems to proforce to incorporate into Proforce's systems.
This is the only way many of them will survive and expand.
At the height of the mass school kidnappings, a startup came up with a UAV system that can map out CO2 emmisions and detect large gatherings of people in a large area based on their CO2 expiration. It would have been a very useful search and rescue tool for the military but then...... If they had probably met with proforce or INNOSON, they might have helped them reach the military.
Exactly what I had in mind. Most especially proforce

You said PMB is not the problem. And yet you say you are not absolving him of blames. Make up your mind bro.

PMB campaigned to end insecurity, eliminate corruption, finish Boko Haram in 3-6 months, stop fuel importation, give graduates stipend and lots of other stuff. How many of these promises has he fulfilled? Since he took over has he made the country better or worse? Are we going forward or backward?

Your PMB was busy since the return to civilian rule campaigning for president and saying he had the cure for all that ails us. And now, instead of the cure he has given us a sickness that might not be curable and the country is more divided than it has ever been since perhaps the civil war.

I still remember the wild fever in the air when he won in 2015. Everyone was expecting Nigeria to turn to Dubai and we all believed he would be very much better than Jonathan. After all, he had been saying so since 1999 and must have all the answers and solutions we need.

And now he has led us into unmitigated disaster and seems totally unconcerned. Yeah, he met a sick country in 2015, but what did he do? He made the sickness so much worse. The cancer in the country has metastasized and now everywhere is in turmoil, no where is safe, people cannot afford to eat, everyone is angry and tribalism is the order of the day.

Nigerians have an extraordinary ability to bear anything. But I fear they could be at the breaking point. And the military overstretched as it is will not contain them.
The increase in prices is everywhere not only Nigeria. The dollar to naira exchange rate is still fair to me compared to some developed nations. Infrastructure is the bedrock of development and accessibility to basic amenities

You get time, bro. That guy has to be one of those "16 years of PDP" chorists who are ever willing to excuse all evil where their mentor is concerned.

It has never been this bad. NEVER.

Even during the darkest days of the Jonathan government, insecurity was confined to a few places in the north and you could very easily travel from place to place without fear. These days, nowhere is safe, not even Abuja, with bandits, kidnappers, herdsmen and more roaming virtually unchecked and often overtly supported by the government.

To go from Anambra to Awka dey fear me sometimes, let alone from Anambra to Enugu. And food was extremely affordable compared to now.

Currently, food prices are 3x at the very least and I sincerely have no idea how people on minimum wage eat. Are they getting manna from heaven or something?

Even the crypto we have been using to make money, they have banned it cos how dare we make money when this government is so intent on grinding us all into penury and institutionalizing poverty?

How someone can see all this and much more and still say that the person in charge for the last 6 years who spent decades contesting for the presidency and promising heaven and earth if elected is not to blame for the current state of things is what I don't know.

Is it Osibanjo we should blame? Or Dubailandlord?

Thankfully intelligence doesn't rest with the Majority.

Let me use a football analogy to bring light to your dark sense of reasoning, if it can even be called REASONING. That way you may just about grasp how ludicrous your suggestion is.

So because former Chelsea Managers Hiddink, Conte, Sarrri and Lampard started badly and wallowed in mediocrity therefore Tuchel current manager of Chelsea SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be top of the Premier League table, Today.

This proposition is a nonsensical one with no be substance WHATSOEVER.

PMB is a comprehensive failure on all fronts, and he offers absolutely nothing from the past, present and future. Six years in power and he is blaming his predecessor that's foolish, he's taken us to the ABYSS, worst President in the entire in history of Nigeria.

When a football manager FAILS we don't keep him to keep failing WE SACK him IMMEDIATELY and get somebody else who can succeed and WIN.

Cast that same light on your dark reasoning,I didn't absorb PMB of blames, insecurities has worsen because every successive government refused to do the right thing,or do you think insecurity start in an environment with growing industries and proper infrastructures.

Oga...in the country of over 200 million people...you are here asking of where the manpower would come from...??

Have you even sit down to ask yourself the cost of governance in this country...!! Nigeria tend to focus on what is not needed amd never necessary....!!! All.those jumbo billion they are sharing among themselves along with the once borrowed would go a long way to properly train and equipt all the man power we need to prosecute this war to a logical end and within a short period....!!!
Your answer does not correlate with the question, moreover the people you expect the billions to recruit will have to sign up willingly and pass the test. You don't just pick anybody.
You haven't been able to properly cater for the ones on ground and you want more.
The police is the primary go to force for internal dispute till the police is properly fixed,we would continue to hammer on the same issue (same with the judiciary)

Call it pull down whatever if you wish, but only a joker will celebrate 100 Dongfeng unarmed vehicles as solution to this endless war and PKM + RPG Tuaregs on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway that in 1980s Nigerians travel midnight without fear of killers. Its senseless to roll out drums and dance every 6 months that 100 vehicles are procured by FGN.

If FGN takes delivery of 1,000 LandCruiser with KPV 14.5mm & 1,000 VN22 IFV & 1,000 ZBD-03 & 1,000 REVA MKIII then we all know dis war will end in 6 months with saturation of security presence in all our 774 LGA. That is the one and ONLY way to secure a Nigeria that has unprotected porous borders open to poverty hungry bloodthirsty machine gun and rocket grenade armed fearless killers.

Shout those 4,000 vehicles are expensive billions of dollars, but what is the life of 200 million Nigerians worth? If we are Europeans with smart brain of White men will we celebrate 100 Dongfengs unarmed, as if we got 1,000 Boxer IFVs ?

We don't need to dance for every ineffective procurement, we need to dance for what will make us Nigerians able to travel from Lagos tru Kaduna to Maiduguri in 16 hours without armed escort and arrive home alive without fear in the 1990s.

Maybe you are too young to know the safe Nigeria we know, your generation grew up to know Niger Delta Militants, Boko Haram, and killer Fulani Herdsmen plus Bandit with RPG
Where is the manpower to saturate everywhere

I know our "Government", is "sabotaging" our security forces through their policies atimes, but Nigeria would scale through.
