The most mentally weak goal keeper in the premiership. De Gea has to be booted out with ignominy. He was the direct cause of both goals. Skills is not enough. You have to have the mind to win. 1 Like 1 Share |

Pogba, Wan Bisaka, Martial, Rashford.. all of them very angry with De Gea. It might wreck the match. Pogba especially won't concentrate and may lose the ball often |

Goodvibes007: Most business men are extremely STUPID and should not be allowed near government. They think short term cash flow and immediate profit while visionary politicians build generation scope wealth and advantages for their people. "Sell Puerto Rico" just because of a natural disaster? . That's a stupid prezident without sense of perspective. Why did he not sell his lovely daughter and kids before they grew up and started making money?. Every body is looking at the slowpoke in the White House and making excuses for him because he is white and calls himself a billionaire. It is a shame. 4 Likes |

Nigeria Airforce has institutions looking into Airframe designs and some engine work. Rockets are different. Rockets don't breathe air. They carry their own oxidizers. 2 Likes |

depezee:Black lives matter protests, everybody was asked to wear masks. Even looters of shops wore masks. Anybody who did not accepted responsibility. A President sets good example, does not run his mouth and does not poo poo the effectiveness of PPE in a pandemic regime. Trump is jerking off the half educated rump of the US electorate and they are filling hospitals and morgue. Hopefully in November there will be no one left to vote for this money miss road trash of a President. The big mistake of his Presidency was entering office in "angry white middle-aged male protester" mode and getting locked in that lie. A President is not a protester. You are actually listening to experts, asking questions, reading briefs, crafting policy and leading people. You are taking responsibility. 1 Like |

It is the recoil of a GPMG on a motorbike we are talking about. I like the concept of highly mobile units insurging the insurgents but let the operational procedure be to dismount quickly, set up, lie down splaying your legs and shoot the GPMG. The motorbikes are also good as snipermobiles although most snipers are loners who don't want to be conveyed anywhere 4 Likes 1 Share |

SamuelAnyawu: 80% of incompetence is at the operational level. If this routine ambush is true, there would be some major or colonel who bleeped up but in Nigeria everyone blames the top of the hierarchy. I suspect serious over confidence or carelessness by a company commander caused this one if it really happened. |

Hopefully the idiot in the White House will be defeated in November and we won't see the greatest country on earth break into two or four before our very eyes. What were they thinking voting him into office anyway?. If it's a reaction to excessive liberalism during Obama, why did they not vote McCain or Cruz or Rubio?

komekn: Good arguments, sound reasoning all destroyed by this bit about Wing Loong. Wing Loongs don't replace the flexibility and accuracy of the A29. The flight cost differentials between A29 and F16s are template costs. Those differentials carry over whether you are paying your ground crews $1m or $50.0. The differentials are coming from fuel, pre-flight maintenance, compulsory inspections regime in-between flights and OEM support. Some people would also depreciate the capital cost over the life of the aircraft and add those costs on it. This is where it gets interesting : &$85m F16 to shoot precision missiles on 10 Boko Haram in a technical. The technical is N10m, the guns are stolen or captured, say N5m, the worth of the 10 Boko Haram is say minus $5000.00. I would take the A29 any day. The systems on it at least in ground attack are the same as F16 Block 50. I can use the same aircraft for border patrol, pipeline inspections, SAR, geo spatial surveys, crime fighting, bandits tracking et. c. The F16 is a rubbish budget buster. They won't even allow you to use the offensive systems so what's the point?. Nigeria is also buying JF17s to do the regional security, power projection and strategic stuff. We are buying right. 7 Likes |

There are is O level and A level strategies in strategic intelligence management. O level is to think that the US wants to buy the missile from Turkey to copy the tech or counter it. A level is to know that they are making 'noise' about what should be secret in order to cover up that they already have the info they want on that missile and are trying to confuse everyone to protect the source OR they have decided not to sell F35 to Turkey and just looking for flimsy excuse to cancel. Turkey knows they cannot sell that missile. |

Why did they make this local, provincial, good timing, spoilt, selfish and childish man their President?. That is the question. They did it out if anger, racism and jealousy against hardworking Asians and Africans who are beating them at their own system. A good system that only works with fairness, inclusiveness and diversity. Trump will finish the bad work started by George Bush and pave the way for a Chinese century. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Did God Create Trump To Punish America by Jimi24: 6:36pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
Yes he did. He has successfully divided the country. Most Republican Presidents are fiscally conservative but Trump has piled even more debt on Americans with his tax cuts for the rich. What about restrictions to H1B Visas, highly skilled talented people now head to main Europe, China and believe it or not.. Turkey. The US will give way to China and Trump is the instrument to actualize that. Already hundreds of thousands have died from his tepid response to coronavirus. Did you watch his last campaign rally?. Even by the lowest of standards, his rhetoric was low brow. If you doubt it watch it again. Biden is not even campaigning. Probably does not need to. Trump will talk himself out of office. 4 Likes |

komekn: Falsehood magnified. The NA is actually buying tanks for offensive purposes against highly defended Boko Haram positions. Pls can these stories about shooting 155mm shells at 'technicals' moving fast and winding to evade shells. We have all seen Vickers MBT in action against Boko Haram. They actually captured the tank and left it behind because they could not operate it. They have also captured a number of Sagiae "tank killers" and have fielded them often. How did they capture the tank?. They mobbed it with suicide attacks and presumably climbed aboard in the heat of battle. Take it from me, sinpers are far more effective against insurgents than MBTs. When they hole up or mass in hundreds with technicals coming in a line along a road, maybe there is the case to be made for an MBT but in a wide level field engagement with shrubs and tall grass, you can't take out technicals fast enough. 2 Likes |

Whyem15: Why do you guys subject us to these kinds of BS? You are posting rubbish and you think you are making a point. Do you know how tanks work?. How easy are they to use against fast moving insurgents who move very close to your positions. Have you studied the vegetation and terrain?. You think it is desert?. No it usually is not. There are sparse forests, 6ft high sahel savanna shrubs, winding roads, hills and valleys. The enemy has suicide bombers, the enemy holds civilians as human shields. The enemy sometimes disguises as Nigerian Army soldiers just to get close. To load a tank, fire and reload is at least 10secs, how does that help when the terrorists dismount quickly, hide and start firing RPGs? There are so many interesting dynamics to fighting insurgents that absurd simplification should never be made. The Nigerian Army is buying new, ultra modern, high grade hardware but the focus is far more than Boko Haram 1 Like |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Breaking news :Iran Issues Arrest Warrant for trump, calls interpol. by Jimi24: 12:49pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
It is a valid legal precedent to issue a warrant for Trump or sue US govt. They killed another country's government official in a foreign country without having declared war. Very illegal and there will be consequences. Iran has time on its hands, Trump has just till November. This is why governance is for serious minded folks who consult widely and not for insecure, septuagenarian business men who want to show they are tough all the time 5 Likes 2 Shares |

komekn: Where exactly is the US using F35s to chase insurgents?. Pls don't misuse the term CAS. What we are doing against Boko Haram is not what we probably will do against a conventional force like the Chadian army. As for the US and using F16s against ISIS, there was a time ISIS stupidly became a conventional army. I believe that was one of the few times the US used F16s to counter terrorists but only for the range and maybe flight over contested airspace. A29s are just the right platforms for high tech, cheap and high precision delivery of ordnance against hidden insurgents at the current time. 2 Likes |

youghs: A29 is more useful against Boko Haram. Why people think jet combat aircraft are any good against insurgents beats me. You need slow moving platforms to deliver ordinance accurately against a 'fast' and 'hidden' enemy. You won't see them if you are flying fast or you won't be able to process the data and deliver before you fly out of range to destroy the targets. The US fields A10 Warthogs against insurgents not F35s. They are also buying A29s. Nigeria's JF17s are officially against Boko Haram but unofficially we know better. 3 Likes |
