Ibrahimanis , sad that educated people fall for the cheap gossips ampliflied by the Media, same way we saw theories about BH only for the figures to show Muslims were killed more, now the herdsmen crisis ppl have forgotten those murdered in Numan n zamfara, to them Fulani are on a mission,

iblawi:
Not all Fulani are herdsmen.
Agreed.

Not all herdsmen are Fulani
Are Yorubas men herdsmen? What of Igbo? Hausa? Kanuri? Igbira? Just mention any other tribe in Nigeria that push cows from state to state.

Under the same Northerner boko haram reduce but something more deadly grew again. Are they not all killers?

seems your from another planet, this crisis has bn happening for over a decade

iblawi:
Is ministry of interior a security agency? Still headed by someone from Kano a fulani. NSA is Kanuri and what is the difference? Another northerner.

The truth is, if nothing is done quickly we are heading for something worst than boko haram.

Apart from the navy and chief of defence staff, why must the head of every other agency be from the north and mainly from the same tribe that have being killing people.

Instead of solving problems you are asking governors to give them cattle colonies if they want peace. Should this be coming from a president? It's really annoying.

Interior is Hausa
Not all Fulani are herdsmen
Not all herdsmen are Fulani
It's quite interesting to see someone educated judge ppl base on where they come from and not pedigree or competence
Under same Northerner chiefs BH was rolled back,

Little knowledge of the issue n not the shit media rolls out will inform you that multiple players are responsible for the violence from militias, rustlers n elements within the herdsmen community, including environmental degradation, Nigeria had grazing areas initially dev to keep farmers & herders separate that's exactly what the colony is suppose to do

M14A1:
So whats holding military action against killer herdsmen?

addressing underlying cause is priority, local militias n rustlers are major contributors of the conflict

iblawi:


The president is also a fulani. He will never give such order to kill his tribal men or their cattles. Nowadays, cattles enter hotels, major road and even the presidential villa uncontrolled not to talk of farm land. All the head our intelligence agencies are fulani and all others security agencies are northern except the chief of defence staff and chief of Naval staff.
Sometimes, I feel this was done for a purpose.

Cheap lies
The problem is beyond just kinetic action
Moreover the NSA is kanuri , Interior is Hausa
Service chief coming from the north doesn't prevent military action when needed

More more more
Of precision guided bombardment

One thing was clear the bird fell in their torf
The children visible in the video n conts flow of fighters

tdayof:
Any other video apart from the first one? If none then there's nothing to say.
..the shilka in that video isn't the same in the original picture plus all pictures released by BHT seems doctored.

They should show us a video of the Mi-17 going down or being shot at .

Go to SR
N see the full video
Painful
Hours of attack on position, the 76mm cannon was also used along side other gun trucks

What's the use of gunship
When hundreds of insurgents attack a position for hours

New video shows seized MRAP, destroyed shilka n utility trucks n co, including the destroyed MI17
Best guest, the position was attacked

bidexiii:

BH says the Gun down NAF Mi17 .pic1
NAF says crash land pic 2
The aircraft in question pic 4

Just In: Sources close to the Shekau led terror group say they shall be releasing a string of videos on the abducted Chibok girls, Police wives and crashed helicopter. The group claims they gunned it down amid unrelenting push by the Army.


I hope NAf said the truth on that helo
No MIA/KIA

NA

jakeporeshenko:
We don’t have to discuss it in details buddy.

Pic 1 four troop trainers
Pic 2 STTEP “trainers”

Spot the difference ?

My comment is due to dynamics of COIN n the fact that we have few COIN specialist, having expert cont training means will have more troops with knowledge of the new warfare and how to effectively respond to ambush, isolated and decimate the enemy unlike whats happening now, with Garrison towns

jakeporeshenko:
They aren’t Mercs.

Israeli private Def coy
SAttp SA private Def coy

Eeben will be great asset in field training of soldiers on an enemy that keeps changing tactics

If NAF can hire Israeli mercenaries
I see no reason why sttp shouldn't be recalled

L39za nice looking bird from the sky
Red nose
Low noise also

Complete lies
We keep seeing different figures n name
All I see is a weak attempt to attack the young man

The Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano also named ALX or A-29, is a turboprop light attack aircraft designed for counter-insurgency, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance missions in low-threat environments, as well as providing pilot training. Designed to operate in high temperature and humidity conditions in extremely rugged terrain, the Super Tucano is highly maneuverable, has a low heat signature, and incorporates fourth-generation avionics and weapons systems to deliver precision-guided munitions.

The Super-Tucano is the best COIN aircraft available to Nigeria,the aircraft is what we need to deal with the types of threats that we face

Nigeria is a crucial partner to the us
Even after the Jerusalem vote they understand the Govt in power tough stance n is ready to partner with her. N respect her foreign policy

UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR PRESENTS LETTER OF OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE FOR SUPER TUCANO AIRCRAFT TO NIGERIAN AIR FORCE

The United States (US) Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, today presented the Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) in respect of the A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). The LOA represents the official US Government offer to sell US defence articles and services to the Nigerian Government. Speaking while presenting the LOA to the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, at NAF Headquarters in Abuja, the US Ambassador noted that peaceful existence in Nigeria was strategic to the security of the entire West African Sub-Region in particular and the entire world at large. Accordingly, Ambassador Symington expressed the commitment of the US Government to helping Nigeria completely defeat the Boko Haram Terrorists and also eliminate all forms of terrorism from its territory. In addition, he conveyed the US Government’s belief that the capacity of the NAF could greatly be enhanced by the acquisition of the Super Tucano Aircraft. According to him, the US Government would therefore continue to support the NAF in its capacity building efforts, including the timely supply of needed aircraft spares. The US Ambassador also indicated the readiness of relevant US Government officials to work with NAF officials to facilitate the early delivery of the aircraft once payment had been made. In that regard, officials of both the US Government and the NAF would be meeting in early January 2018 to jointly study the LOA prior to subsequent endorsements by both parties.

The CAS, while receiving the LOA, expressed the appreciation to the US Government for its steady support towards sustaining NAF air operations. He also praised the personal commitment of the US Ambassador to ensuring that the Super Tucano Aircraft deal became a reality. Air Marshal Abubakar agreed with Ambassador Symington that the wellbeing of Nigeria was closely linked to those of other African countries, and indeed the entire world, as terrorism is a global phenomenon, which had to be confronted by all stakeholders. He then reassured the US Ambassador of the commitment of the NAF to the stipulated deadlines in the LOA. Furthermore, the CAS assured the US Ambassador that the NAF would ensure the readiness of proposed home base of the Super Tucano Aircraft in Nigeria before the aircraft’s delivery. He further said that the NAF would nominate and prepare all the pilots and maintenance crew to be trained on the Super Tucano Aircraft, ahead of their training in the US.

It is expected that the LOA would have been signed and necessary payments made before 20 February 2018 to ensure the commencement of production of the NAF’s Super Tucano Aircraft. It would be recalled that the US State Department had earlier approved the sale of 12 x A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the NAF to further aid the nation’s counterinsurgency campaign.
