Saudi deal with the Egyptians?, permit me to roll my eyes. Apart from financial muscle, the Saudis have no coherent military structure. In event of a war, the Saudis will rely on the Egyptians to act their customary role of an attack dog.
how then would one go to war without financial muscle?the Egyptians are no match for the saudis

grin grin grin this one off me. They will deal with the Egyptians the way they dealing with Houthi rebels abi? For your info Saudi has one of the most indisciplined army in the middle East even though they have the latest of equipments money can buy. Till date, the Russians, Americans and by proxy Israelis give Saudi army technical support in basic gadgets an average Nigerian soldier will perform without hassle.
The war in Yemen has exposed their incompetence, infact the Egyptians will overrun them within a week without the backing of super powers. Infact the Saudi Arabia situation further proove the notion that no matter the most modern equipment you acquire if you don't have the requisite know-how and discipline to maintain or use them you're as senseless as someone bringing a knife to a gun fight.
those Egypt have the funds to persecute a war

Remove Egypt from your list, aside Iran and Israel I don't see any middle Eastern country that will defeat the Egyptians in whatever form of warfare, even an open confrontation with Israel will be too bloody on both sides. Don't underestimate the Egyptians.
Saudi would deal the Egyptians

you are not up to date bro, isreal almost pounded syria to stone age this last Sunday and Monday.
am aware of the pounding which consist of 3 attack waves shielded by two passenger airline.

Even a third aircraft from a Jordanian air company had to divert very far away from the Israeli and Lebanese air space to avoid unpleasant stories

Sorry missed ur post

Every system can be circumvented / exploited provided one is technologically and operationally capable enough to do so.

Eg even if one manages to have a clear and accurate electronic order of battle then they can exploit the gaps to penetrate without detection and hence destroy hostile systems without even the need to tangle directly with any of the elements of the overall air defence systems. Those systems will simple be blind in the EM spectrum they operate on. If the sensors can't see u , nothing can shoot u either.

All these ain't easy but it ain't tough either.
thought the Russians are the guarantor of the Syrian state. Why the laxity for repel Israeli attacks

this is what we have been tell zohariel and the likes, all systems have flaws which can be exploited. Look at how many of such batteries that have been destroyed just in the wake of a week?
i thought the recent Israeli attack on Damascus was facilitated with the presence of 2 passenger jet(used as cover) coming from Iran.

The best for Iran is to get a new airbase outside of Damascus and then fortify it with its "more capable bavar" S300 knock off.

This is a FAR MORE EFFECTIVE patform than the over crazily over priced and over hyped Tucano.

These flying tanks are actually cheaper to run and available immediately for peanuts used from the plethora of former and existing Eastern block countries. eastern europ?

Get the them upgraded with FLIR, etc and your good to go. You could procure 24 multiple sources not more than $6 million per unit a lot cheaper depending on your ability to negotiate and bargain as well as bribe unfortunately. You are dealing with corrupt eastern Europe remember.
weldon sir,
pls did you say we could get KA-52 for $6m from eastern Europe? or you meant another attack helicopter

This us very disturbing, and amnesty international would probably latch onto this too. War is bad it damages the psych.

I also noticed that despite being at close range, targets were not hit immediately, almost like the person couldn't aim.

I believe Nigerian army must have seen this and should discipline the erring soldiers. Nigerian army might also need to incorporate a counselling/therapeutic section for those in this war, and those returning home.

In a volatile place like the north, where you have seen lots and lots of your brothers die, it's easy to mistake everyone as the enemy.

I don't like the Israelis but I do respect their capacity for innovation. Naija keeps buying main battle tanks when what we actually need are heavy IFVs like the Namer and BMPT. Alternatively, since Russia has tens of thousands of T-62 and T-72 tanks in reserve or awaiting scraping, we can beg and obtain a few hundred of these for free and pay to turn them into heavy IFVs. These will be equipped with anti-tank missiles, multiple cannons and sensors. That makes much more sense considering the threats faced by our troops and is more cost effective than what we are currently doing. But that will never happen, cos the Nigerian army is run by idi0ts, and th1eves whose main reason of being is to enrich themselves.
on point.

for me we can even convert our Vickers to a Heavy tracked IFV just like the BMPT.

Can Russia defeat NATO with Soviet era armour?
its very possible.

it takes just 1million to upgrade a T72 tank to a T72BM3/4 tank standard and Russia has over 4000+ but in service and storage .

even the BMP ifv with good upgrade can face its western counterparts

Sometimes I wonder if some of you have brain.

Rwanda now have better hospital than Nigeria abi?

When many of us complain about health sector, we are complaining about good hospital spread across the country or states and accessibility for everyone not that good hospital aren't available. I wonder if you have ever been in Rwanda to Prove this your claim.

Do you even know how many doctors we roll out of our schools yearly? Or how many hospitals are available that we still claim not to be enough. Or health insurance scheme running is several states not to talk of the national level.

I would agree if you say the health sector is not good enough but not comparing us to several small countries just achieving what we've achieved long ago.

Hospital are over crowded, doctors are over worked, resources not enough, etc happen but doesn't mean we don't have good hospitals.

If you have problem accessing or paying the high bills in some of these hospitals doesn't mean you should generalise your frustration.

Use your head.
I wonder why some people will see White and still maintain that its black..

you produce 2000+ doctors per year how many remain and practice in Nigeria?

crowded is not the issue quality accessibility ad affordability is the issue .

mind you its not only in the health sector its in almost every sector in Nigeria.

on your comment of Rwanda just achieving what you achieved since just know that I get am before no be property.

u problem is that u think that anything a white man says or do is da deal. Little wonder all the countries u mentioned above are all white major strongholds. Apart from maybe Rwanda.

If u navigate through the states and capitals in all nigeria and Africa and couldn't find any good hospitals. Then am sorry to say that u re the one blinded with hate and as such don't want to see anything good these places.
blinded with hate ? Putin just spoke the gospel truth and I go with him.

those good hospitals you shouting about how many average Nigerians/Africans can afford to go there?

being patriotic doesn't mean going blind when you see the clear truth

if it's all true, how bout the people investing back home? Are they aliens?
U re all as$ lickers with inferiority complex. We have good hospitals in Africa, we have rich men who also invest at home. We also have politicians who go to local hospitals for treatment.
Because one or two people or goes abroad to do their shiits doesn't mean every body tows the same part.
what pres Putin said is a bitter pill that must be swallowed. apart from south Africa, Egypt tunisa,Morocco ,Algeria and Rwanda of resent. which other state in Africa have good hospitals?

being blind and being patriotic are two ends of a long line.

Politics › Re: Ganduje Sues Daily Nigerian For N3billion Over Dollar Video by giles14(m): 6:01pm On Nov 15, 2018
sophsia62:
Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has sued an online platform, Daily Nigerian and its publisher, Jafaar Jafaar, for defamation.

He is claiming N3billion in damages.

Counsel to Ganduje, Nuradeen A. Ayagi in a writ of summons tendered before the High Court demanded the defendants to file an appearance before 14 days. The writ was dated 13 November.

Daily Nigerian, had published stories and videos alleging that the Kano state Governor Ganduje collected $5 Million as kickback from contractors.

Nuradeen asked the court to declare that the act of publishing and circulating libellous statements, false and doctored video clips attacking and impugning the character and integrity of the plaintiff amounts to defamation of character of the plaintiff by the defendants and thus wrongful.”Jafaar Jafaar, middle, says the Daily Nigerian will soon respond to the suit

He also asked for order perpetually restraining the defendants, their agents and all persons and entities to whom they shared their libellous documents/records from further defaming the good standing and character of the plaintiff

The suit also seeks an order compelling the defendants to write a public apology to the plaintiff and broadcast such apology through their online platforms and news media with global accessibility.”

Daily Nigerian in a report on its website quoted its publisher, Jaafar as saying that its lawyers would study the court papers and respond appropriately.

The remorseless paper in its report still repeated the alleged libel, restating that Governor Ganduje appeared in several video clips it obtained receiving bribe, amounting to about $5million from contractors in the state.

It said its sting operation to capture the governor on camera began two years ago when one of the contractors agreed with DAILY NIGERIAN request to plant spy camera on his kaftan lapel while offering the bribe.

“During about 10 months efforts to capture the bribe giving/taking scenes, the governor’s face and body were clearly captured in nine clips, while six others did not clearly reveal the governor’s face.

“About $5m dollars were delivered to the governor during the sting operation”, it reported.
