200??

Yesss

SuperSixSeven:
Its upon time! The Mi-35s are dearly needed.

Of course. The contract signed recently was just to secure agreement to buy. Nigeria needs not less than 200 armed choppers for security.
The economy will explode in 2021 and it will pull all sorts of elements from the larger west africa. Interesting times.

The IOWA caucus winner will be the guy that will bring an.end to the joke called the Trump Presidency.
Let it be SANDERS, God.

I agree with the last idea. Let us make LGAs more powerful and take powers from governors. Let LGAs secure themselves.

Fukers i am back

You 're welcome

The RCCG prayer walk was on instruction of PFN under CAN. Aso Rock was definitely informed and gave the okay.
Osinbajo must be worried about the security situation but he wont join a prayer walk as an elected public servant.

FFK is a fool jerking around people of lower IQ than.himself.

Muslims may do their own protests about the security situation in the country. Boko Haram after all has killed and displaced 30 times more muslims than christians.

When muslims start their own protests, I suppose FFK will shut his mouth and his low IQ supporters may get really confused but hey, that's the qualitybof human beings inhabiting our country

He is NOT a suicide bomber though. You cannot 'arrest' a true suicide bomber. He was going to throw that device or bury it with a timer.

Nigerians are being manipulated big time and out of anger I dont care anymore. If you want to believe all 80m muslims want to kill the entire 80m christians OR vice versa, you are a fool and may it happen to you as you believe, Amen.
The people who will reap from all these setups and manipulation l are in fancy board rooms and hotel suites. They are like serpents and those who so believe are the dust that has been cursed to be fed to the serpent.

The FG should start community policing and put in place, proactive, early warning systems into the security architecture.
This would be a Nigeria Police Force information system not under the control of any political appointee.
Ordinary land disputes should be reported, put into databases, ranked as to risk rating and escalated up or dealt with at the local level. Every incident recorded at a village police station should remain on the database. Very simple.

If this had been in place since 1999, there would have been no militant Fulani (not herdsmen pls), no middle belt militia, no Boko Haram and no ND militants

Hmmmmmmmm....?
Doesn't look brand new to my eyes

Nothing looks brand new after being touched with NAF north-east specific yellow / light brown non glossy camo paint.

bidexiii:
Insurgency Is not easy to defeat even if you have the best equipment in the world; ask Americans and the Russians

We won't ask both. They have both failed at defeating insurgency. The annoying part is they both lied that they did.

We should be asking Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

That old simpleton in the White House is out of control. Whether you are smart enough to understand it or not.

The US is going to be whiter, poorer, older and more fearful of the world in the next few years. It is a sad end to a people called "land of the free and country of the bold" nut every empire eventually gets weak

#NA

We're witnessing significant improvement in the provision of equipment and kit at the squad /platoon level. However, corruption and stealing of funds should stop.
Nigerians also want the entire insurgency to be brought to an end this year.

If the top brass is truly and deliberately prolonging the war for pecuniary gains, they will be exposed individually and dealt with even when they must have left servicr

Sizzorkay:
You want to close the entire border crossings because we are at war? ha. okay.
That tells me we've lost control of things, no need to close the border entirely, create a choke point, if you will, that is have certain designated border posts where people can come in and exit, and check everything they have with them.
Illegal entry routes should be the main concern. Creating more hardship for people already suffering will only breed resentment.
Desperate people will simply find another way in, to smuggle in their goods etc.
So why not create a way for legitimate individuals to carry on with their business

There are designated official ways to carry on business. The problem is for the last 40 years 'business ' in Nigeria had meant criminal activities, economic sabotage and tariff/tax evasion.

bidexiii:
I think its was reactivated......

It is brand new. The upgraded MI 171E did not come as a version till after 2015. It is a reconfigable version. You bolt on new parts as per the mission.

Guess where the money came from to buy this? . It was not on the budget for the last four years.

Why are Trump supporters so full of lies and so deluded by parochial interpretation of scripture?.

They mix things up to achieve their own purpose. It is clear from Revelations that the anti Christ would be a 'friend' of Israel who signs deals and gives them security guarantees.
He also EFFECTIVELY deceives the 'ELECT ' if God.
The Good Book calls for UNDERSTANDING not sentiments, emotions OR making a hero of flawed characters like Trump.

The man is imporivising and suddenly a patchwork of Arab nations and Israel in one alliance against Shiite / China / Israel is suddenly coming up.

Look, pray and stop deceiving yourself.

Odunayaw:
My problem with misinformation!
CAS doesn't authorize any Air ops as per Op Lafiya Dole. The Theatre Commander does that through the Air liaison for the Air component of the while effort.

I think its wishful thinking for anyone to think that the same Army that cannot maintain worthiness of lesser complex systems like Tanks and APCs would suddenly handle an Air Arm better.
There's the Intelligence aspect of this war lacking and its not Helicopters that'd remedy it. Compliment —yes, Remedy— no!

The Super Camp strategy is not "doing" anything asides withstanding attacks on it. Is that how BH/ISWAP will be defeated?

Super camp not working eh?
Was it the small camp strategy that was working?
You keep 100 lightly armed men 400 km from Maiduguri. To do what exactly?

This talk about "Intelligence ". That's just book talk BS. Boko Haram actually wrote some small camps that they were coming. You saw them on motorbikes surveying your perimeter. Its the realization that you are a small camp, far from major installations and observation that frequency of low flying air patrols have reduced hence Ops Lafiya Role aircraft probably temporarily out of action that does it. They also know Alpha Jets can be weather limited and if they attack the base at closer quarters the jets dont come in to avoid blue on blue.

A lot of commentators have not run operations before in civilian life and are talking about military. Suppose you are just 100 in the camp and your scouts tell you a Captain or Major that the frequency of sighting BHT spotters is increasing. You calculate that you need more mortars and about ten snipers and they should come today by chopper ..what happens?
Lafiya Dole will tell you that chopper flights are once in two weeks by the backbone schedule, otherwise talk to your battalion commander who will call the General in charge. What do you do?

Super Camps puts more authority right in the field. You can do more extensive aggressive patrols backed by chopper and dominate the area. Let Boko Haram attempt to ambush a patrol party that has an eye in the sky. The field will be painted red...real fast.

ecomog1990:
Smart, experienced war veterans and defence strategists worldwide condemned Super Camp long ago calling it Tactical Retreat in CT-COIN war theater that needs spreading forces to saturate and dominate N.E. to kill this guerilla insurgency.

I dislike these legislators but they got it right by listening to various complaints from colleagues who are retired military officers now legislators and other well meaning defence gurus.

Lack of NA Army Aviation helicopters is no excuse, does Bokoharam or ISWA have any combat helicopters to fight NA? NA refuses to listen to voices saying failing to get right type of modern high firepower composite infantry weapons will weaken our army's small units so that BHT ISW was killing soldiers in weak locations, fault of NA.

Get the right high-power low cost infantry equipment​ fit for BHT type of war and win since 10 years, Nigerians don't want war for 40 years to ruin our lives.

If extra cash change remains in pocket after buying fit for purpose guerilla killer high speed amoured vehicles and right gun types for all FOB and units in N.E. then use our surplus to buy helicopters.

If Nigerian Army says it cannot defeat guerillas having no single air asset, without squadrons of NA owned army helicopters, then Nigeria no longer has a regional power army.

Thank you. Bye bye. I won't burn sweat on arguments. Not all wide open eyes see clearly.

"Spreading forces" that Boko Haram was over-running?. It happened not once, not twice...many times. A few occassions, they attacked, were beaten back, ran away and then they reinforced and came back again. Spreading forces actually became even worse because of no dedicated Army Aviation. The Airforce is working in a silo. There is no centralized planning. If intelligence said, "we think Boko Haram will start a rolling campaign of attacks on remote camps and we may need quick reaction NAF back up" , there was no synchronization of this with NAF aircraft availability. NAF would have the same aircraft required to back up the Army in the workshop undergoing PDM at the wrongest possible time when they are needed by the Army.
I like the Chief of Air Staff but he is the worst at inter service cooperation. Very poor CAS service to the Army. Everytime posting videos about destryong BHT gathering points. This is nonsense.

Let us leave the Army with their supercamps. The equipment situation has vastly improved. They say a lot of weapons coming late February, mid year and towards last quarter. Let us see get them their choppers and see how Boko Haram can still move around

Nigeria should go back to how we were in the 70s - not taking Shit from anybody. In that regard, this travel ban is very welcome. It will correct negative psychology some people have.

Most of our youth are completely INFERIOR in their psychology and empty in ideology. Some of them even have Trump as their hero.
Trump, at best a rich but unedicated old man jerking around hard core followers in landlocked states in the US is hero to Nigerian youths in 2020. What a shame.
He has committed a crime against Iran and is now afraid of countries with large populations of the Shiite sect coming to live in the US and exacting revenge

We should be giving the US the middle finger. In the 60s and 70s, Nigerians had a more healthy psychology in international relations. We would burn US flags and vote against them at many fora. We need that same attitude ..especially with this idiot in the White House that four of his own party senators joined with Democrats against to allow witnesses at the impeachment trial.

We can retaliate this but the options are not many. One way is to tighten expatriate quotas against US companies, dump US products in favour of Chinese products BUT better still we should work against Trump and donate to Democratic party campaign organization

Mike008:
There's nothing to lose.
Ighalo for certain is better than Anthony Martial in some ways.

Martial is way more skillful and talented. Ighalo has courage to get into good positions and try shots at goal. This will rattle goal keepers and confuse defences.
Lets not forget they got him because of SMALL teams causing ManU the most wahala

GamalNasser:
Thanks to those animal that went to protest and burn American flag when Soleimani was killed ...Well no matter what Trump does I still support him ..We must not forget that Buhari has locked our own border for months now and zombies have been applauding them

The most stupid American President in modern history . So stupid that even the most conservative, hard core republicans he appointed as secretaries called him that - a slowpoke
So you kill a foreign government official in a neighboring country and now you are now afraid of consequences. Dont worry, you can do visa ban against the whole world only God can defend against the consequences of state terrorism you unleashed ...and your enemies can wait.

The Nigerian visa ban is because of the vocal Shiite minority we have in Nigeria that most of our dumb youths like to support blindly without strategic sense.
Anything to go against Buhari.
Most narrow, myopic and parochial positions that some fools are taking in Nigeria will be challenged in the coming years

Oga, SuperCamp is not a wrong strategy. Let us give the Army the choppers they need to.patrol in.between.camps and other tools to dominate the AOR.

Boko Haram was attacking lightly defended positions and carrying away weapons...that was why.they started super camps . The defence chiefs are not being pressured because of Boko Haram.
The legislators are bloody civillians and corrupt. Somebody has lied to them that internal security is the primary job of Army and Airforce. It is NOT. Politicians cause problems dividing people sling tribe and religion and they now expect the Army to put out the 1000 fires they set in the country within one month.

Bad performance of a few stubborn selfish ones spoiling record of a few sincere serious serviceable ones, and them all may end decades long career with bad ending record of "they were all sent packing in 2020, sacked for failure to deliver." What a pity, not all are guilty, but see much insult, no single applause from angry frustrated Nigerians.

We warned very early about this Super Camp wrong strategy, but those who dont understand real war just agree follow some people because of their senior star ranks as if uniform or high rank means those people must be correct. I pray that those who make wrong decisions for Nigeria and those who support them sheepishly will not send the the whole of us Naija to early grave one day sha. Those few who said Super Camp is wrong, a military error that will make Nigeria suffer losses, you are few in number, but you are true military geniuses, so I salute you all, thank you for trying to save many lives.

SmartMen:
so ighalo is the best man for such? Why not Musa or any other great forward? Let me just say Ighalo is spiritually favoured...

Musa also has a Martial kind of problem. He 'argues' with the ball too nuch sometimes. Man U wants someone who gets into position in the 18 yard box and shoots. They only need him to vanquish small teams. Big teams are easy for ManU. Even Liverpool gets nervous around ManU

Matrimonous:
So innoson manufactures state of the art fire fighting trucks yet a SW governor traveled overseas to shop for it.
What a shame.

Personally I would buy anything Nigerian EXCEPT fire trucks. There is a certification that the pumps, valves, hoses and nozzles after to meet that I am sure INNOSON can not beat for now.

Fore trucks are fast reaction, reliable service vehicles. You start the pump it must be ready in 30secs. You open a tap, water must flow You roll a hose, it must move quickly.

Car manufacturers dont even make fire trucks. It is specialized manufacturers who build them around a chassis they buy from truck manufacturers.

Oyo State Gov is an engineer so he knows things that are critical.

Arrewa:
They should emulate kano and develop the east... Was in the east November and was disappointed

Northern Nigeria is lucky. A project you deliver for N10bn there would cost N30bn in SE and N50bn in Niger Delta. Its partly the soil, partly labour cost and partly not too many people to settle

I dont believe it BUT it might work. ManU does not want to spend on an industrious/take them on striker. An opportunistic one like Ighalo might just work. If you coach Ighalo properly and get the likes of Pereira to feed him properly they might just get a devastating strike force against small teams that give them all the problems.

lol, converting gyrocopter to weapon instead of buying the best hardware affordable that both protect our men and devastate the enemy. I’m not avers to using our imagination, in fact I welcome and advocate it, but we too often appear to penny pinch, if what people post on Niaraland, mirrors the truth. It’s why I coind the phrase, Nigeria's A-Team approach to weapons acquisition, see A-Team in action below


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7zc1iySY1I

Absolutely we want to kill terrorists for as cheap as possible. We want their deaths to be as painful and as cheap as possible. Nigeria is clever. Why should o send F 16 against some worthless cowards who only know how to attack civillians and kidnap teenage girls.
One F16 aircraft starts up and taxiing for take off is the salary of a primary sch teacher. One complete sortie will build a village school. Boko Haram is not worth that.
I think Algeria is a stupid country with all the money they are spending.

This gyrocopter idea, the Nigeria Army was already independently working on it.

It is gratifying to note that the Nigerian Airforce is partnering with this South African company to refine this capability for recce and weapon delivery. It will be a UAV.

Officialgarri:
Ganduje will leave someday and Sanusi will remain..

Ganduje will be so unlucky if his successor is from an opposing party.
I respect Sanusi's calmness because he would surely laugh last.

Ganduje will leave and Sanusi will stay?. Really?. Who is keeping Sanusi in office?
Please think thoroughly about it

Mispreeti:
Please I need your advice.

My sister is at the hospital with one of her twins who is seriously ill and I'm in her house taking care of the other twin. I have been here for a week and her husband has been disturbing me for sex. I refused but he is not listening. He touched me while I was asleep and I felt it then I immediately woke up. He pretends to be covering the baby sleeping beside me. I told him i will report him to my dad in the morning. He has apologised and promised not to do it again but I know he is lying because this is not the first time it has happened since I came here.

I can’t go back to sleep and I'm afraid if I close my eyes and sleep, he will come again.

Please should I report him to my dad or give him another chance?

Pick a quarell with everyone and leave the house. Dont report anything.

Niger Republic please.
Who else suspects that some world powers have made the decision to kill Boko Haram that they escalated and were secretly supporting before hence making their troops no more required?
France, US withdrawing troops.
Chad withdrew troops from MNJTF, the few coming back seem to be for mop ups

Awol1:
Look at her face critically, and you will see that Mama peace is at peace.

Nothing concern am.

You actually looked into that face and saw PEACE. You know I used to say Nigerians tell lies a lot but I am wrong. Nigerians are conceived, nurtured and matured in lies.

Call other people to look at that picture, dont say anything to them and ask them what expression they see. I can think of many words coming out but none related to peace.

Jokes aside, my own description of what I see on her face is not PEACE but that she is holding her PISS.
She wants to go to the bathroom.
Ask other people

You don't love people. You don't want the best for them and since your nature is just, your inner mind is telling you they feel the same about you.
You are a terrible person but very fair and just.

Try to just love people. Imagine them when they were cute babies and love them like you would when they were babies.

Smile more and always speak and act from the heart.

Captainrambo2:
See eh. This Govt is so anti people.

So they want Nigerians to be driving picato and other mumu cars. Who get money for motor wey nor be tokunbo for this low income earning country.

Except yahoo boy, buhari cronies, people wey don work for 20 yrs who go buy motor of 4m 6m 7m ?


Most Nigerians re poor . Useless fg dont care

It is to encourage investment in cheap locally produced cars. They have also not banned new cars
