hmmmmmmm, two tyres bursted at once when it tried to take off to bomb insurgents. I suspect that a boko haram personnel at the airport is responsible for this |
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A MERE ACT OF IMAGINATION AND CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO REALITY(even if it can happen na 200 years to come) To illustrate a future war with a niche competitor, imagine the following hypothetical scenario. Nigeria attacks Zaire with 10 armored divisions (including 5,000 armored vehicles). Nigeria's operational goal is to capture Kinshasa, thereby cutting Zaire's access to the Atlantic. Drawing on its oil wealth, Nigeria has built a substantial military. In addition to the ground attacking force, Nigeria's military consists of:* 200 fighter aircraft (half are front line: MiG-29, Rafael, Su-35), equipped with advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles (AMRAAM) and precision ground-attack munitions, Five nuclear weapons (100 kilotons), and 100 intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM) with a range of 1,000 NM and CEP of more than 500 meters. *Such a force is notional; it bears no relation to current Nigerian inventories. In total numbers it's similar to the force structure used by RAND in The New Calculus, 16. Also, Nigeria has integrated three emerging weapons into its military. First, it uses COMSATs (commercial satellites) for photo reconnaissance and communications. These satellites are majority-owned by the European Community, the Arab League, and an Asian business consortium. Nigeria is a minority owner of each system. All refused US requests to shut down Nigerian access. These satellites allow encrypted communications throughout Africa. They also provide imagery directly to mobile ground stations in Nigeria and with the attacking columns. This imagery has one-meter resolution. In addition, the Nigerians have two backup ground stations in sympathetic third countries. These facilities are connected to Nigeria by fiber-optic cable. Second, Nigeria has stealthy cruise missiles (purchased from Israel, Brazil, and France with these capabilities: Inventory: 5,000, with 100 mobile launchers. Guidance: Integrated GPS/INS en route; terminal guidance uses millimeter wave seeker, infrared, or antiradiation. CEP is <5 meters. Range: 1,000 NM. Warhead: 1,000-pound conventional warhead, cluster bomb unit (CBU), zirconium disk, napalm, infrared cameras with data burst transmitters, multichannel jammers, decoys, HPM, MHD, or EMP. RCS <.001 (frontal aspect only). Third, Nigeria bought five ASATs from Russia. The ASATs launch from Su-35s. They are kinetic kill with IR sensors. These ASATs can only reach satellites in low earth orbit. Zairian forces are moving to reinforce Kinshasa but are considered far inferior to the Nigerian military. Countries between Nigeria and Zaire (Cameroon, Gabon, and Congo) either ally with Nigeria or give Nigerian forces free passage. The US decides to unilaterally enter the conflict on Zaire's side.* The president orders the US military to assist Zaire's army in halting the Nigerian advance north of the Congo River. Figure 10. Map of Africa *This is only an illustrative scenario. The specific reason for intervening is not important for scenario purposes. What is important is to outline a contingency where the niche enemy is superior to its regional opponent. Also, the fight is thousands of miles from US territory and there's little in- place US military infrastructure. The theater CINC levies the following specific aerospace taskings: Establish air supremacy over US forces. Establish air superiority over Zaire and the Nigerian LOCs. Airlift US units to the theater. Attack Nigerian military forces south of the Nigerian border. Provide near-real-time information on Nigerian military movements to Zaire. Assuming this war starts in summer, weather is not much of a factor. Throughout the year, ceilings are above 3,000 feet more than half the time. The rainy season around Kinshasa is early winter, especially November and December. Precipitation in July and August is practically zero. Temperatures are always above freezing. Table 6 Kinshasa Weather (Ceilings in Percent) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Ceilings <3,000´ 22 19 19 19 25 49 40 45 33 30 16 16 Ceilings <1,000´ 1 1 1 1 1 1 - - - - - - Inches Precipitation 5.0 5.6 6.7 8.4 5.4 .2 .1 .1 1.3 5.5 9.3 6.7 Source: USAFETAC/DOO (Now AFCCC) The US begins deploying two armored divisions and 10 fighter squadrons, with their associated C4I, into Zaire and southwestern Congo. One ARG and two carrier battle groups position themselves off the coast of Gabon. Defensive systems against cruise and ballistic missiles deploy with these forces. Batteries position around the land bases. Improved AEGIS-type ships escort the battle groups. Both rely on airborne aircraft equipped with long-wavelength radars for missile detection and cueing. Surface radars guide the actual intercepts. One week after deployment begins, Nigeria launches 200 stealthy cruise missiles with CBU (plus four with electronic decoy packages and four with jammers) against the Brazzaville and Kinshasa airports. They overwhelm the limited number of fully operational air defense batteries.* In addition, some of the intercepts are hampered by software shortfalls; the Nigerian cruise missiles present slightly different signatures from those expected. The simultaneous arrival of three tactical ballistic missiles further confuses the defenses. As a result, half the cruise missiles penetrate. Multiple AWACS, J-STARS, KC-10s, and B-747s are destroyed on the ramp. A large tent city is heavily damaged. US casualties are high. Television crews transmit pictures of Zairian soldiers looting the bodies of dead Americans. Stealthy cruise missiles also cripple three USN ships off the West African coast and one RO/RO supply ship at Kinshasa harbor. *For example, a single Patriot battalion is normally equipped with six batteries, each of which can fire up to eight missiles before reloading (total: 48 missiles). In the wake of this disaster, public support for intervention polarizes in the US. The president reaffirms the US commitment, but replaces the theater CINC and requests a new strategy. Planning is constrained by basing restrictions. All countries within 1,000 NM of the AOR refuse US overflight and basing requests. The US must rely on Ascension Island (United Kingdom), Azores (Portugal), Canary Islands (Spain), South Africa, Kenya, and Zaire for land bases. Bases in the CONUS, Europe, South America, and at Diego Garcia are also available. US Aerospace CONOPS In this scenario, a hypothetical enemy (Nigeria) launches a land invasion of a nation 700 NM to its south (Zaire). This operation is a land force-intensive attack, with 10 divisions of armor and infantry.* Its size and capability far outmatch the defending (Zairian) army. To protect US interests in the region, the president orders the US military to assist Zaire. The military task is to stop the Nigerian advance short of the Congo River. *Current demographic projections estimate Nigeria's 2010 population at 240 million. Anticipating American intervention, Nigeria bought high-technology weapons. It has stealthy cruise missiles with 1,000 NM range, access to civilian satellite information and communications, and a robust air defense system (radars, fusion centers, surface-to-air missiles, and manned interceptors). PLEASE NAIRALANDERS CAN THIS EVER HAPPEN? lolz

victorazy:yes indeed, she is not like other ladies bleeping instead of reading, facing relationships instead of attending to lectures. Please ladies beware because this is a challenge. It means that you can be like her. Not that she is not beautiful nor is it that she doesnt love sex or relationship but she choosed to go for "business before pleasure". Pls ladies "STOP BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPING" |
cant wait to see your update, so please dont fall my hands |
i suggest we read more or google africom before commenting so as to understand what africom is all about and its impact on africa |
Do we think that it is a coincidence that nations and rival nations to the US had already engaged on the re search for the cure of ebola even before the emergence of the virus in west africa?. Some of the rival nations was smart enough to understand this ploy of ebola as a bio-weapon and therefore started developing a vaccine for the virus so as to protect their citizens from the ebola virus which some scientist consider a biological weapon developed by the USA to test on africans through American Military-Medical-Industry that conducts biological weapons tests under the guise of administering vaccinations to control diseases and improve the health of “black Africans and this is done under USAMRIID( US army medical research institute of infectious diseases),a well-known centre for bio-war research). USA is also looking for a way to establish their presence in west africa to beat china through this ebola saga, can we imagine that obama has deployed 3,000 troops to west africa in the name of combating the EVD and we expect the number to rise. What have troops to do with EVD?, America has been looking for a way to establish their military presence in Nigeria and the entire africa throuh AFRICOM but failed so they are now using the ebola viral disease!(EVD) as an excuse to achieve their goal. Or have we forgotten that america refused to give Nigeria any support to tackle the EVD but rather was engaged in condeming our locally sourced cure(nano silver, etc) and trying to compel us to sign in gay law and accept africom and other things that will promote their interest before they will give us zmapp to contain the EVD. The US went as far as refusing the sell of arms to us and blocking the the sale of arms to us by other countries(which i suspect made the FGN to involve itself in the secret buying of arms from south africa that escalated as an illegal deal) and also refused to share intelligence with our security forces,refused to track the source of international funding for boko haram and refused to block the sahara route from libya to west africa where arms are supplied to boko haram. They are doing all these to make sure that boko haram overuns the Nigerian military so that we will beg them to come to our rescue and therefore they will use that avenue to build up there soldiers on our soil to protect there oil interest not only in Nigeria but in west africa and that of the whole africa so that in the end they will achieve africom (african command) and beat the chinese presence in nigeria and west africa because it is estimated that at the rate which china is growing that they will overtake US as the world best economy by 2020. |
i knew it and i suspected as much.

ajibolabd: This one no be president o, na mumini.then you be muguni |
this man is a prime fool. Who wouldnt be afraid if he or she knows his or her life is in danger. So he want us to loose our dear president as we lost aguiyi ironsi. Wasnt aguiyi ironsi the commander of the armed forces?, even some people in the army are double agents so you dont expect the man to go to a place where he knows his life is not assured because some of the military personnel that is expected to protect him is part of the insurgency. So he now wants the president to compromise his life to please fools like him. Pls lets ask ourselves this simple question, who wont be afraid to go where his or her life is threatened |
ohaji egbema is the LGA of my mother. I can remember her telling me about the attracious crimes commited in the LGA such as rape, robbery, kidnapping and worst of all jungle justice, a situation where a a persons father, mother, sibling or any close relative is shot dead for a crime commited by the person. Well it is always the case with any oil producing Local Goverment Area. There youths are always violent cuz my LGA (oguta,which is very close to ohaji/egbema) also experienced thesame i.e when izombe(an oil producing community in my LGA ) had a gun duel with the military the battle became tough (becuz the youths uses charms to protect themselves) to an extent that armoured tanks where deployed to fight the youths of the community. But they where later outgunned so the had to flee to my community. lest i forget, the community is like sodom and gomorhha |
can you imagine this comment: Guy, are you some sort of a mo-ron? When there is an allegation, the next step is an investigation and depending on the outcome of the investigation, the accused can be prosecuted. The next step here is an investigation and not a silly argument on compelling Boko Haram to come to court. If someone kills another person, must an eye witness be present at the murder scene before you can prosecute the accused? What if you find the blood of the murdered party on the accused? What if the weapon used to kill was fond in the possession of the accused? Do you still need an eye witness? If Ihejirika sponsored Boko Haram for monetary gains from defence contracts, the money trail can be followed in the investigation and needed actions can be subsequently taken. you are too folish to say that everyperson knows that ihejirika cant make money by sponsoring boko fools rather will spend by doing so. People are judged by their motive of doing things nd ihejirika is not seeking for political position in the north neither is he a politician nor a northerner. So why on earth will he sponsor the fools he is fighting against. Besides boko haram was already existing b4 he was made the cas, so the question now is who was sponsoring them before then?. And how can bokohara reveal their sponsors? Even the north was angry with his marvelous works that is why the called for the trial of the innocent man and since the failed on that scheme they had to look for another way of indicting him. But we igbos are saying NO WAY WILL THAT HAPPEN |
of course people will always criticise success. innoson designs and manufactures his car parts though not all so there is no reason why some people should wake up and start criticising him for decieving nigerians and going into collaboration with a chinesse firm dongfeng in car manufacturing. or do you think you are more informed than the federal government and the minister of information who saw the car manufacturing plant himself. of course innoson has various departments that specialise on the manufacture of different parts of his cars and also is in collaboration of your so called dongfeng motors who supplys him with the parts that he cant manufacture in enough quantity due to high demand. remenber that even almighty toyota dont manufacture all parts of their cars even great nokia is now in collaboration with microsoft. so please all you haters and false informers of peoples prosperity should desist from such acts. long live innoson our great igbo brother for helping us industralise our homeland. also yorubas beware every igbo governor is serious in the building of markets all over igbo land very soon we will all depart from lagos and watch it crumble like a lame man. very soon our goods which you yorubas has sold to your brothers as contraband goods will soon stop because when we relocate we will transform and make use of PH seaport and other seaport around us in the east. |
