Oh really!! Who told you the Tucano isn't armoured? in your fantasy world, its not about the ancient of days relic SU-25 is, it is not about the cost of keeping it operational, it is not about Tucano's advanced weapons systems, it is not about how many hrs it can last in battle abi?
I thought you want Nigeria to have the likes of raptor for perfect air defense, since when did you accept that COIN is a priority with your SU-25 recommendation? Thank God for whoever that knocked your brain to factory reset.
Can you shut that infected v@gina you call mouth please!!

Always displaying your high level of ignorance, even new aircrafts that are newly purchased and maintained crashes.

How does your claims justify the aircraft crash incidence, even if we have these 4th gen Jets already does that mean there wouldn't be aircraft crash incidence anymore. Every profession a it's own hazard.

How long will it take for the Chinese to take over Zambian defense force over unpaid dept. Please, keep showing us more trainer aircraft, UAVs, and ADS from Zambia.

So you would rather the mobey wasted in the Gambia, or on vessels that have no way of protecting its crew.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its candidate, Ademola Adeleke, would still lose the rerun of the governorship election in Osun even if they get the support of the Social Democratic Party, SDP candidate, Iyiola Omisore.

APC said the opposition party was battling to get Omisore’s support because it was clear to them that Adeleke cannot win on the popular vote.

In a statement on Tuesday by the Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the APC in Osun State, Kunle Oyatomi, the party said Adeleke was the least educated and qualified candidate.

The statement reads, “They know that the PDP candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, can’t win on the popular votes.

“First, He Is The Least Educated And Qualified Candidate Osun Has Ever Raised In Its History Of The Political Contest.

“the Fraud That Brought Him To This Level (Manipulation Of Card Readers And Purchase Of Pvc Of Ill-informed Voters) That We Are Now Discussing Him As A Potential Governor, Marks Us As Essentially An Illiterate And Backward Democracy.”

All done. I've modified my post. Competent igbo man, an incompetent Hausa man. Thanks for the correction.
And I am not Hausa.

ugo4u:
Abeg let's not turn this thread into a tribal bashing one.
PS: IBB and Buhari are not hausas. The former is NUPE while the latter Fulani. Aminu Kano is the only Hausa that superintended over the affairs of Nigeria(prime minister).

Ibrahimanees:
You can also add largest deposit of natural gas, large deposits of gold, nickel, iron ore, coal, uranium, farming land and a very large population to exploit these resources. Are we done? Good, then let's talk economics.
It surprises me how some like to throw figures about without knowing the basics of economics. Nigeria's GDP is in trillions only in naira, in dollars? 300plus. Do you even know what GDP is? It doesn't mean sh*t. What we need is increase in government revenue, stop all our revenue leakages things along that line. And while you might be correct about natural resources (because it's debatable between Nigeria, Congo (yes DR Congo) and South Africa) debatable because the exact value of Nigeria's and Congo's resources are unknown because of..... unreliable data from both countries. so what? You go to site, chant abracadabra then viola! All the golds, the crude oil, the natural gas starts to pop out? All these things are primary products (things that have to be extracted) it took total 3 billion dollars to build and oversized ship and container to extract oil from egina field. GDP doesn't equate to hard currency. And comparing Nigeria to those countries? Nigeria's population is almost double the next in line, Ethiopia. Show me a country that has up to 200mil population, 250 ethnic groups and about five hundred Languages doing better than Nigeria, not in military terms but general societal issues because when you can't fix your societal issues, you can do nothing. And don't mention US because most of them are immigrants so they don't have that sense of entitlement like Niger Deltans and the rest. And don't mention India,
China (Brazil?) because they are not as diversified as Nigeria. I am not making excuses because things like corruption, nepotism, and sheer incompetence also plays a major role, but these things will not matter if an igbo man does not have to choose between a competent Hausa man or an incompetent igbo man and vice-versa. More money was lost in the US than nigeria between 911 and 2008 crisis. They didn't get noticed until after, you know why, because US has a very very very laaarge economy, grow the economy, get investments and we can buy all the F22 and s400 we need. Unless that is done, we can all shout about our resources thy kingdom come. Lastly, Which will you prefer? A personnel with all the basic amenities or one with all the hardware in the world but but worries about things like accommodation, feeding etc. I like what the CAS is doing, build from scratch. This might sound boring to most but I am not a military kind of guy, I roll the econs.

For lovers of sweet things, the unripe plantain pottage alone, somehow, is a dish that is not as interesting as it sounds. Not to worry; this is the recipe for you. You can add sweet potatoes or ripe plantains to this recipe for added sweetness.

-1 medium sweet potato, washed, peeled and grated
-¼ cup palm oil
-2 tbsp ground crayfish
-1 medium onion, sliced
--2 cups shredded smoked fish
-2 seasoning cubes
-1 tsp ground pepper, or to taste
Salt, to taste
-A handful of fresh greens (ugu, spinach, utazi), thinly sliced.

Method
1.Put the diced plantains in a pot.
2.Add the chopped onions, stock cubes, fish, ground crayfish and pepper.
3.Add in enough water to just cover the contents of the pot.
4.Cook on medium-high heat until the contents boil.
5.Add the palm oil and salt to taste.
6.Cover the pot and cook on low-medium heat until the plantain is almost tender. Then add the grated sweet potatoes and cook until done.
7.Take off the heat and stir in the vegetables.
8.Leave to stand for a few minutes before serving.

You should know better. You've been keen on saying the super tucsno is a propeller aircraft and it goes beyond that.

The tucsno is what we need to prosecute these COIN in the North East. You have to go and read about the aircraft.

The A-29 Super Tucano is an aircraft that the U.S. Air Force paid to develop precisely for partner countries that needed air support for their counter terrorism operations. The super tucano has wing-mounted machine guns, weapons integration with advanced surveillance and targeting pods, precision-guided bombs, and even air-to-air missiles.

This makes it an excellent territorial defense and close support plane for low-budget air forces, as well as a surveillance asset with armed attack capability. The Brazilian Airforce uses it this way. for instance; alongside very advanced EMB-145 airborne radar and maritime patrol jet platforms..etc

The super tucano as is own distinct capabilities- to carry it's own ISR and strike capabilities, which these 4th gen Jets wouldn't offer plus cost & maintenance.

I think should do a little more research on the super tucano and NAF super tucano's contract. The whole $600M is not only for the 12 aircrafts alone, it comes with a whole lot of packages.

patches689:
That is an assumption as well. What we actually know, is that an Su-35 was able to visually identify an F-22 (hence the picture).

Which is not surprising since the USAF and RUAF share flight schedules, plans and altitudes as part of a the de-escalation plan.

Henry240:
I'm not insulting you, but you comment spews of Ignorance.

What's Nigeria's defence budget?

How much of that budget is re-current expenditure?

How much is left for capital expenditure?

The Nigerian Air Force in 2017 flew over 5623 missions in support of Nigeria's COIN operations, what was the operational cost of carrying out all that mission in 2017?

You're spewing lots of emotions, no facts to back up anything.

You post photos of Algeria and Egypt, do you know how much Algeria spends on defence? 10 billion dollars.

Egypt spends 4 billion dollars, 1.3 billion in US aide not included, aid from the likes of Saudi Arabia not also included?

In Uganda, you shared a photo of their SU-30, Ugandan pilots routinely bolt, go AWOL.

Eritrean SU-27, 3rd hand aircrafts the Eritearans purchased.

All of Chad's "1" MIG-29 have practically never flown.

Zambia flying unmanned UAVs, really?

Dude, you need to research more before going on a social media meltdown.

61mech:
Your assuming the F-22 had not detected that SU-35 20mins before.

In reality the Raptor would have smoked the Sukhoi long before that pic was taken.
A guy in a Cessna can take a FLIR pic of a aircraft that's not allowed to shoot it down.
Vlad is so insecure about his 1980's fighter , he has to post pics online like a Kardashian.

It all a moot point anyway. Israeli F-35's and us F-22's mount radar reflectors to amplify their signature 200X. This prevents the Russians from testing their EW against them.

Suzzyyy:
Hello Nairalanders! Plz help! I hv been scared and confused abt a risk I want to tk so I decided to share for advice.

Im 29 and I hv a boyfriend who is 33. We hv been happily dating for close to 3 years now, he once helped me financially in a good way with 100k when I had problem with my little business, then he was doing pretty fine with his business, I sell plastics and hez into cloth business. But somtin happened last 2 months, he had terrible problems with his business and lost almost everything including his shop and in a bid to salvage his situation he ended up owing many pple, when all these started he didn't tell me, thou hez a kind of person that likes handling his problem alone without disturbing or telling me which I don't like bcus it somehow makes me feel less important and useful to him, I got to know when he changed, his attitude, moods and everything changed, hez always disturbed, thinking and always visiting pple, he payed less concern and attention to me, don't even call and when I call, he will be in a haste to end it, I became confused, so I had to asked what was going on, he said nothing, I got upset and insisted he must tell me, he then opened up, I felt so bad and almost cried, since then I have been trying to maintain his upkeep and sometimes give him money which hez not comfortable with.

The problem now Is that im scared, he asked for a huge amount of money from me which is 700k, he wants to start all over again in his cloth business and also clear some debt, and I can only boast of 820k home and abroad as a business woman, i just feel he saw my account balance before asking for this, Im scared to loose the money and him too. I love this guy but im so scared of doing this, he helped me when I needed money, but this sacrifice is bigger than me, he showed and detailed everything he will be doing with the money, Im just confused to gamble with my life savings, I know I might sound ungrateful what if the business or our relationship crumble? Won't I be stranded and doomed? My business is not that strong and we all know how most of sacrifices like this ended for people. Is this kind of risk worth doing for a boyfriend

Plz advice me on what to do, plz.

The Nigerian Army in its quest to unravel the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Maj Gen. Idria Nur Alkali (rtd), has been conducting several search and rescue operations around the last known location of the missing senior officer.

Consequently, the COAS Lt Gen TY Buratai constituted a Joint Task Force comprising officers and soldiers from 3 Division Quick Response Team, Operation Safe Haven, Nigeria Police Force, Vehicle Inspection Office, Fire Service, as well as Local Divers.

According to a military report, several logistics issues including the alleged sabotage from the host communities have hampered the success of the operation.

Due to the terrain in the general areas of Paddock in Lafendeg Du Plateau State, the task force consulted a Chinese construction company working in that area who promised to assist in drilling out water from the pond where it was suspected that the vehicle belonging to the senior officer was pushed into.

However, the Chinese company was forced to withdraw from their services due to continuous threats and protest by women in the community clad in black dresses.

In the midst of this challenge however, the Task Force continued with its search and rescue operation which led to the recovery of an 18-Seater Hummer Bus door. This discovery indicates that there could be other vehicles in the same pond hence the continued protest by the community.

It was earlier reported that the army general went missing after leaving his house in Abuja on Monday 3/09/2018 for Bauchi where he has a farm but is yet to be found. He was alleged to have been kidnapped and killed in Plateau state. 

The major general was reportedly found dead in a pool of his blood along the University of Jos teaching hospital’s permanent site, according to a report by journalist Bello Lukman. 

According to reports, the deceased’s car was found alongside various other automobiles, ranging from motorcycles to tricycles otherwise known as Keke Napep.
