But he was redeployed from Lafiya dole theater recently after BH ran amok.
Is he really as good as you claim?

As a casual observer, I feel he did well. Himself and Maj Gen Lamidi Adeosun were outstanding field commanders of the whole Boko Haram war. No wonder they exchanged batons at the MNJTF. I also think the Rann bombing incident was a bad blot that was "unpardonable" for PR reasons.

Army General Leading Nigeria's War Against Boko Haram Removed



The Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, Attahiru Ibrahim, has been removed from that position.

Mr. Ibrahim’s redeployment comes three days after Boko Haram insurgents carried out one of the deadliest attacks on Biu town in Borno where at least 18 people were killed and 52 others seriously injured.

Mr. Ibrahim, a major general, took over the command of the ongoing counterinsurgency operations in the North-East in May 2017. The former occupant of that position was....Read more

Bad guy, Maj Gen Lucky Irabor. The dude still moves around with his side arm.

One of the things that the COAS LT. GEN BURATAI instituted for new GENERALS ( both one STAR AND TWO STARS).
Upon promotion to rank of General, a meeting is held, every Newly minted General is compelled to talk freely
( Thinking is you have been promoted now is the time), These views are taken very seriously and are based on personal, academic , professional and real life experience.
My view :
The NA is changing even with regards to it's transparency record, ( Recently a GOC met a friend of mine and promised to look into some ARMY/ CIVILLIAN wahala) , however the way forward.
Actively Recruit
* Civilians from high school who score DISTINCTION
** Ditto those in the Medical School and also Nursing School
*** Ditto those in Law School.
**** Ditto those in Engineering.
The N.A. will face asymmetric warfare for years to come it is extremely important that they go out of their way to CONTINUE to recruit....... Natural born female Soldiers who can interrogate, search and analyse female suspects.
The unconventional:
Learn from scratrch how bh make their IEDs AND VBIEDs and then use as a basis of training to see how fast the response time is.

I think they should recruit about half of depot intakes from technical and specialized colleges. That creates a supply of semi-skilled recruits which are better/more easily trainable to fit into technical role that modern soldiering is fast evolving into. The benefit of technical/special college education at recruitment also helps with imbibed discipline. This does/should not in any way stop the quota for skilled artisans/tradesmen recruitment either.

Education / Re: What Chances Of Success Does A 2.2 LLB Holder Has? by homerac7: 11:07am On Nov 14, 2017
Antecote:
I know a lot of posts have been created concerning graduating with a 2.2 but I haven't come across any post with regards to having a 2.2 in law hence the reason for this post.

My younger sister just graduated from a state university with a 2.2, which makes her a 2.2 llb holder, she graduated with a cgpa of 3.4. This has made her really depressed and sad as she has even refused to resume at the Nigerian law school. I work in a bank that hires only First Class and 2.1 so I know what individuals in other fields with a 2.2 go through now

my question is this do 2.2 llb holders also go through this discrimination while searching for a job or their grades doesn't really matter so long they have been called to bar, what are the chances of success of a 2.2 llb holder
please I really need opinion and advise because I really don't know how to speak to her or what to tell her,

Please mynd44 this is very important
Cc: lalasticlal.a and other lawyers in here.


The famous Dr Joe Abah @joeabah on twitter is by his own self confession few weeks aga a 2. 2llb. You may just Google up his name and show your sister.

You sister needs good talking to. Class of degree matter as much as getting a start, afterwards it matters so little. Your skills take you on from thence.

Goodluck to your sister

I give up. You explain one angle and then a history lesson follows as if we don't all know what we need for our national defence. I am no politician and support nobody, but at least there is a government in power that appears to be planning long term for the military and not just rushing out to buy the latest toys without a thought for through life maintenance/upgrades or trying to be self sufficient.

What, alas, happened to the Jaguars and MIGs without this forward planning? How have the current crop of Alpha jets been kept air worthy if not for R&grin apart from the ones recently purchased, which will also benefit?

Who, for crying out loud, has ever suggested that a super tucano be used to intercept Flankers. Whose Flanker are we intercepting? I didn't realise that the country was in grave danger. Na wah o!


You're disappointed mostly because you got the whole thing twisted.

Can you please show any credible reference anywhere that the Tucanos have been referred to as front line jets?

Ground support is an aspect that we never really had, probably because our doctrine has been strictly conventional all these while. Thus we never had assets to fulfill that role. By the way, the regional threat assessment likely will be seeing more of counter insurgency sort of operations than conventional one, so the Tucanos are very very very required.

Again, where did you see that we acquiring the Tucanos foreclosed acquisition of other combat keys? Isn't it after the much publicised confirmation by the US govt that we all had the snippet from minister of defence himself that Nigeria is considering YAKs and Migs?

Gentleman, please save your emotions. You aren't more patriotic than anyone her, bro. By pls note, the fact that the honorable minister said it doesn't mean they're gonna do it (sooner). I understand that part of frustration.

My whole point is that;

1. Tucanoes are very good strategic acquisition,

2. They weren't acquired to fill front line role

3. Having then doesnt prevent us from acquiring front line aircraft's

4. No any aircraft currently in NAF inventory can play CAS effectively and efficiently like it

5. Please CALM DOWN

overhypedsteve:

Oga don't write point of correction. You are writing your opinion not correcting anybody. Except you are one of the decision makers that know everything about the deal, the deep and the lows or Air Force Spokes Person then you have no justifiable intellectual bearing on this matter to be correcting anybody. Just write your opinion and leave am like that.

Secondly.
the conditions under which these planes are coming are too humbling, too expensive and they are too over rated. The Tucano is the perfect COIN aircraft but outside COIN what benefits does it offer?

Why buy twelve attack planes that we can only operate within Nigeria apart from insurgency are we planning to go to war against ourselves?

12 turboprop attack planes That Won't see the Air in a contested airspace for 600mils. What the Tucano does now future developments in Air technology would see drones and unmanned planes doing them within the nearest future so what's with the 30years thing.

The C130 is no longer the ultimate cargo plane but it fulfils it role well and nobody doubts that. It's now obvious there was no plan to phase it out when it was being procured.

But why buy a plane that have been in use for seventy years now and say you want to operate it for thirty years to come. Dude when you talk you think oh. Do you want your kids future to be protected by super tucanoes? You want your kids to live in a country whose national security is guaranteed by turboprops. When nations of the world are already partnering for future fighter programs you are telling me you want to operate Tucanoes for years. Even the SU-25 and the fair child republics A10 warthog will soon be replaced by better systems and drones.

Just watch. Even those many story about the aircraft been expensive cus of PGMs , training consoles and maintenance will soon change we will soon be faced with some frightening but unavoidable truths about this deal.

Boko Haram that you chased out of Sambisa with Alpha jets now you want to buy PGM' s and tucano to do what? When you needed it we nor see. Now it's time to re-build the military into a standard conventional Armed Forces after all the tweaking to our doctrine that came with us fighting a non conventional force, you say you want to buy 12 turboprops to chase terrorists which terrorists?

You want border patrol platform buy drones. Those saying it would be used for border patrol where are you getting your info from. Did the airforce specify it would use it in that role?

We ve tried to buy the Tucanoes for almost 6 years unsuccessfully what that means is there have been a gap all this time that needs to be filled. At this point in our war against terror even a C130(A) would be a threat to the disorganised and disoriented terrorists but it's now that we are buying an expensive plane meant for "COIN alone "

A plane that you won't even contemplate calling up if there is a convoy of terrorist moving with some serious anti Aircraft Guns. If a ZSU can bring down a russian SU25 then the obvious can be the truth about our expensive "sophisticated " turboprop trainers when they go against anti aircraft guns. With those birds in the sky the terrorist confidence of survival will be improved. They now have the confidence that the bird in the sky can be brought down, it is no longer a mystic iron clad angel of death. It's just a super tucano that we can shoot down if we are lucky.

Calm daaaawn! Oga, calm down!

Ok... Ok... You've made your point, and we can see with it that you know names of some combat aircrafts. Well-done...


But still calm down.

Your argument is faulty because you outrightly threw out reasonable explanation made to you by the poster above us. Read him again and listen, he isn't far from reality.

Who go sell you AC130? Why una just like to dey drop big big names anyhow? Oya, show us which country US don ever sell AC130 give...


On Super Tucano, you obviously know so little of the tactical usefulness of the aircraft, otherwise you won't mention BH attacking it with AAs. It will roast the AA convoy from BVR. Find out again what it's targetting pod and smart bombs are for.

Who also told you it will be irrelevant in another 20-30 years? Are you aware that it's being touted as likeliest aircraft to replace the Warthogs in USAF? Bro, get your info right.

I, for one, thinks it's good thin to get them. Then, we should get the YAKs to replace our Alphas, and mix of single (light) engine interceptors and double engine (heavy) multi role jets from Russia. That mix should be good for next 30 yrs, while we move on to heavy and light lift capability replacement program me.

Politics / Re: The Real Conspiracy Against The Eastern Seaports And Riverports by homerac7: 9:04am On Aug 11, 2017
IgboSubmarine:




You can keep ranting to console yourself but take note that as long as we can't import all manner of products through all our Eastern seaports, our desire and clamor for a separate nation will keep growing.


Anything the useless country must do to get those ports fully operational since we now import more from China which is closer to the Eastern seaports, should be done now to reduce our agitation before it is completely too late

^^^

This is atypical weakness and deceit characterizing the senseless IPOB shinenighan.

Why are you online barking at the Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba and every other person when the current and one of the most powerful serving ministers, Rotimi Amaechi, is a full blooded Igbo man and a SSner?

Why didn't you mobilize with elders of Igbo land and SS to strategize with him on geopolitical needs while he's in power? Unfortunately, you won't. Rather, you'll court and defend Bishop the drug lord for convenience and yet cut your own nose to spite Amaechi's face, and still come here to rant about. Guess what? With this kind of thinking, you will end up raising children who will be complaining like this you are doing to their own children too in the future.

EDIT: What stops IPOB from having agreement with Ohaneze, ASPANDA and other trading blocks to use ➕ of One, PH, and Calabar ports? Is it impossible to influence, after influencing a sit at home order?


Stop grumbling and throwing tantrums, think and strategize.

There are indigenous tribes living in the Amazon forest, and desert dwellers in Sahara desert. In fact, Sahara desert has been crossroads of international/continental trades for thousands of years, so there are well worn trade routes and rest points for those who know the place very well.

Career / Re: What Do You Think Of Female Engineers? by homerac7: 7:31am On Jun 10, 2017
Worked with several. On average, female engineers are very professional and capable. You only should know not to overburden them with too much physical tasks. Apart from that, they are usually fantastic to work with.

A female mechanical fitter and another female machinist contributed immensely to my workshops trainings as a pupil engineer. They taught me with ease and allowed me to take up tasks.

As junior engineer, I found female senior engineers as competent and detailed as their male colleagues.

As maturing engineer, I hardly see gender when we are at work. They go toe to toe with you (apart from the natural fact that they carry more of family responsibilities to work place- which nobody can do anything about it)

I decided to be more careful with my water and bought one of those over the counter/shelf purifiers.

I looked at the ingredients; Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium Hypochlorite has very interesting uses. Its a disinfectant - used on wounds, etc.


Another use of Sodium Hypochlorite is bleaching clothes. Products like Jik, etc are a brand name of substance. Look at your bleaching agents ingredients.

So we are drinking the same thing a doctor will use to clean your wounds in hospital, and what you will be soaking your whites in later.

Something sounds off about all this undecided

Photos; ingredients - water purifier, washing bleach

The joke of ignorance is on you. A little further study would've revealed to you that Hypochlorite is stable solid form of Chlorine-which is the most common disinfectant used in water purification, other disinfection and bleaching purposes.

Ozone, liquid Chlorine and Bromine are substitutes as may be required.

Hope they aren't gonna be the new EU mole in ECOWAS, to be used to achieve the regional market destruction which they've so far failed to achieve through the Francophone states that can't get around Nigeria as bulwark.

Then again, they should be ready to open negotiatons with Western Sahara as precondition. Collonial occupation is out of fad.

Morrocco needs ECOWAS more than the reverse case. They have Western Sahara to contain on their western front, vulnerable Tunisia with her own local insurgency challenges on eastern front, spill over from failed Libya on far east, and a vast no-man's land crawling with growing number of armed terrorist groups and largest arms bazaar on southern boarder. With these, it's only a matter of time before the chicken come to roost. She will need more reliable allies than Ghaddaffi's Libya have. ECOWAS has 100% record in all her political interventions among her member states. No other regional group, anywhere in the world, boasts of better.

Solution to your problem is not difficult. Only decide to be the more matured and tolerant one when argument arises. Don't shout back, rather "hold on" in your mind and call his attention to what he did calmly later by asking the "why" questions, and your opinion "suggested". This requires tact and self control, but you can master it quickly.

Would it be a fair deal if FGN buys up the debt through NEXIM, for example, then draft out trade agreement, which includes Nigerian banks and insurance coys having foothold in the country, then flooding the academic space with Nigerians, and their govt projects with Nigerian firms, and open their markets up for Nigerian goods and Igbo traders. I'm sure we can recoup our investment in multiples within 10-15 years by direct and indirect value.

For the debt buy back, NLNG or NIMASA can conveniently liquidate it.
