Odunayaw: You get me now bro. The lies they tell in the media doesn't mean they themselves are bound by that lie too. In all, its so sad we have terrorism in-country, this demon is so slippery.
Buhari might be unaware. I don't trust the health of his mind
upko: Bro, come down from there. There is no top secret classified Sophisticated weaponry hiding anywhere, and no you don’t know shi.t!! This is 2020 not 1987, do you really think Nigeria would procure something major and it’ll remain a secret??
Talking about “few people like us” please stop this faux importance nonsense you’re projecting.
bidex111: Zulum on 4th visit to remote Kala-Balge; 10,000 households get food items
... Zulum wants Wulgo community resettled ... Borno Governor meets Soldiers in Rann, Wulgo
Borno Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum has led the distribution of food and non food items to 10,000 households living in Rann, headquarters of the Kala-Balge, the remotest local government area of the state.
The latest visit was the fourth by the governor to the local government that shares border with the Cameroon Republic.
Zulum was flown from Maiduguri to Rann, onboard a military chopper, on Sunday May 31, 2020.
The Governor who had made three previous similar trips, the first being in June, 2019, few days after coming into office, when he undertook the need assessment of public facilities and subsequently ordered construction works.
He was later to return in December 2019 to distribute cash to 15,000 widows.
Zulum was soon back to Kala-Balge in February this year to distribute N100 million cash to 10,000 trapped families.
During the latest visit on Sunday, Zulum supervised the distribution of relief items to mostly women and aged men amongst other vulnerable persons in need, with about 300 Nigerians taking refuge in the Republic of Cameroon who returned to Rann benefiting from the gesture.
Each of the beneficiaries received a bag of 50kg Maize grain, two cartons of spaghetti, two bags of 10kg rice and a-3 liters cooking oil, while female beneficiaries got wrappers in addition to the food items.
Residents in Rann have since mid last year been trapped without road access to farmlands due to the flood from a dam, this forced Nigerians in Rann to resort to neighboring Cameroon Republic for livelihoods.
Governor Zulum at a press briefing after the exercise, acknowledged food contributions from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, the Northeast Development Commission (NEDC), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and Dangote Foundation.
He said: “I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the President and Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari, for all that he has been doing towards repositioning the northeast.
"I also wish to express my appreciation to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Northeast Development Commission, as well as NEMA and Dangote Foundation, all of them have contributed to the success of this excersice."
... Zulum wants Wulgo community resettled
Meanwhile, after his food distribution exercise, Governor Zulum traveled to Wulgo, a border community, to assess the destruction caused by the Boko Haram insurgents.
The assessment of Wulgo, acording to Governor Zulum, was preparatory to resettlement of thousands of IDPs from the community currently staying at formal and informal camps in Gamboru town of Ngala LGA.
The governor said: “The aim of our visit here is to assess the town with a view to resetting back the community. We will have an interface with the community, I think the first thing we will do is to clear the town.”
Zulum then proceeded to Gamboru Ngala where he passed the night, during which he interfaced with the Internally displaced persons from different communities.

Also during his visit, Governor Zulum while in Rann and Wulgo, paid visits to military formations in the two towns in order to boost their morale.
During the visits, Zulum presented 250 bags of 50 kg rice,10 bags of 50kg sugar, 200 cartons of noodles, 500 cartons of sphagetti, cooking oil and cash to each of the formations.
bidex111: The Nigerian Army on Monday 1st of June 2020 flagged off a joint Operation called ‘OPERATION ACCORD’ in Sanga LGA of Kaduna State. The operation was flagged off to neutralize and destroy all bandits and militia groups and their hideouts in the North West and North Central zones.
I doubt if much will be achieved. These guys are highly mobile. They will simply hibernate and resume their killing when the operation is over. Focus should be on the source of the problem besides the issues in southern Kaduna is not primarily about banditry. It is a more of an ethnic revenge mission.
Kalapizim: I hear he does so to others who called him out.
I am not sure of what the case is if he is deliberately out to misinform people or just daft. He does not even know the difference between our various platforms. You can check his handle now and u all see he has posted the pictures of Uju on one of our OPVs as NNS Aradu and there countless examples. What he says a thing is is what it is, he does not care whether it is true or not.
We spend $700 million acquiring two state of the art stealth Chinese OPV and refuse a $45 million package to arm the ship with anti-air craft missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes. We turn down the offer because there was no credible threat to our surface fleet.
In 2015 the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corp completely destroys strategic ammunition belong to the Nigerian Navy because there was no threat. The weapons destroyed are our stock of 45 Ottomat Missiles anti-ship missiles and 20 practise missiles. Seacat Missiles, Aspide missiles
For God's sake must lies be added to anything to make it dramatic?
I don't know what the guys seeks to gain. $700m will buy us two frigates but u can't correct someone who does not want to be corrected...he leads the gullible on twitter.
AraduF90: Well spoken bro! Our Soldiers are under-equipped leading to some being demoralized but our Military need to ask themselves WHO ARE THE MOLES AMONG THEM? Me I am asking why no snergy between the Army and the Airforce?
Because the CDS is not in the lead in fighting this war. Every chief is trying to gain spotlight of what he is achieving with his 'army' which I believe is just to keep their office and for the politics of the future. They are each fighting their little wars while the CDS is just a ceremonial head
phazotron: That's the consequence of not having 24/7 all weather isr capabilities to cover the entire theatre of operations from the sky
We don't need to keep risking our servicemens lives all the time in the name of reconnaissance and surveillance
Our airforce and intelligence services never start work
Others may have contrary opinion
But that's the truth
No b boots on the ground suppose dey do some of these things
Pls help my ignorance. The first part of your comment is something I don't get, is it even possible? The north east is the size of some countries. How many countries in sub saharan Africa have the ISR capabilities NAF has? Ground forces need training and equipment that is what is lacking the most. In Afghanistan for example there was nothing like 24/7hr ISR coverage. What the US did was to have small FOBs in hills and mountains along key routes to look out for abuses and IED planters
Toju200: The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, on 18 May 2020, neutralized unconfirmed number of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) and destroyed 2 of their gun trucks on the outskirts of Dapchi Town in Yobe State. The air operation was conducted following reports that BHT/ISWAP terrorists, in about 5 vehicles, had launched an attack on the Town. A Helicopter Gunship was scrambled to engage the terrorists and scored direct hits on their vehicles, destroying 2 of them and killing the occupants. The Chief of the Air Staff commends the Air Task Force for their professionalism and directs them to remain resolute towards eradicating the the terrorists from the North East. JOHN ENENCHE
ugo4u: The rate at which NAF churn out special forces is a bit of concern to me putting into Cognizance the number of years it takes to train Special forces unit in advanced countries with heavy resources and facilities compared to our own NAF that train special forces guys in less than a year with limited resources and training facilities. One is tempted to talk about the quality of this unit or maybe we're more concerned about quantity. Be that as it may I think NAF should just deploy them full-time in the NE to support the army, they should forget about this there talk of base protection (though important), I won't be surprised if NAF have more special forces personnel than the army . We need as many boots on the ground as possible, in the NE to consolidate on recent victories at the theatre of operations. In addition to that, Immigration, Police, Customs, NSCDC etc should be also massively redployed to hold the grounds captured by the military in other to enable them advance to other objectives. It makes no sense seeing checkpoints at almost every 5mins drive in the southern part of the country most especially with our limited personnel, when they will more useful in high risk areas.
The thing tire me. That is one you hardly hear anyone mention them when u list special forces in Nigeria. I think they are more like SOF than SF
Some people here have multiple personality disorder. They create multiple profiles to charm their delusions and some of us help then carry it on. Can't u just decipher who u are chatting with?

LTGEN: Why are you interested in something that it’s no longer being produced in Brazil anymore?
It is not a must for you to respond if u don't understand the question. Don't we still use the T-55 which is far older? At least it is in our inventory and there is evidence we have it but nothing points to the existence of the EE-9
