What do you think guys

MiddleDimension:


COAS tasking officers and men of the army or airforce, which one is it?

Whyem15:
Most points raised by others are true and play key factors but one important thing we all aren't considering is the fact that a soldier will think more than two times before he throws caution away to attack terrorists recklessly whereas the terrorists are actually looking forward to die in battle, they've been indoctrinated to believe a great reward await them on the other side. No one won't flinch when being attacked by waves of terrorist who care more about killing you or die trying than protecting themselves. That is why the terrorists have high casualty rate on their side in any engagement with the Army. If it were to be a conventional military, the result would be entirely different.
Another point is that the army is very slow in evolving to meet up with the dynamics of warfare today,they've been trying to catch up lately (super camps, Hescos, and others) but we are too far behind.
So many other little things play important roles in the defeat of the army.
Take for example, the Army as a whole has lots of bullets but a specific number is assigned to each soldier/unit daily, if you exhaust, they will definitely give you more but the process of requesting for too much time than you can have in battle, so such a soldier/unit will be conscious of the fact that they do not have unlimited bullets and since you are the one defending and do not know when the enemy will stop attacking, you might be economical with the use of your bullets. On the other side, the enemy attacking knows the duration it can attack for, he came prepared and has planned most of what he is going to do, when he exhaust his ammunition, he simply retreats.

Kalapizim:
On the operational side I will point fingers at our training institutions. Quantity seem to be the goal rather than quality these days.

Same for Depot and NDA, imo the last set of quality officers graduated in 2016.The army especially is a mess with low discipline from the rank and file to even senior officers which points at leadership too.
This current system cannot inspire any soldier to fight.

komekn:
Are we ready for that debate are we ready to face hard truths.

We have two main camps here.

The first one is the Nigerian armed forces can do no wring and any criticism is an act of subversion and treason group .

The second is the knowledge based group mostly objective but still critical.

SamuelAnyawu:
1) Ammunition might not fully be a factor only. As most Bokoharam attacks on Military base are with Toyota Guntrucks.

2) Our Soldiers morale are kinda low bro. Some already got the feeling that this war is politicised and corruption by top heads of which they are not ready to pay the supreme. Sometimes Bokoharam attacks a base with fewer Guntrucks that what the military base has in it's stock.

3) The Psyche of our Government/Top Military needs to change. We are giving the Bastards so much room by not taking the war to their households. We cannot defeat these bastards by Repelling only. "[b]Haba an Nnamdi with an AK 47 comes to my house and we engage each other in a shootout, next week Nnamdi comes and we engage in a shootout , Next month Nnamdi visits again and we engage in a shootout. I no need brain to tell me say I suppose go search for Nnamdi on the streets to fall am na because if I keep on waiting for Nnamdi's visit soon I'll be scared of watching the English premier league in my sitting Room with my back on my window.

Repelling has now become a sign of Victory on how to end this Insurgency war by our leaders .... like WTF? [/b]


4) Too many stories on how the top Military diverts funds meant for fallen heroes and how they are so quick to chase the families of fallen heroes out of the barracks without their entitlements. Go and see most hotels now being builts in Kaduna and even Abuja by Military heads. The worst is those soldiers Missing in Action. Voicemail things.

We need to take this war to these Blood savage thirsty Terrorists and send them to judgement ASAP.

ugo4u:
1) Most atimes it is as a result of poor situational awareness, Boko guys will collect intels on the numerical strength of our troops, equipments etc and triple that number with high volume fire using unconventional weapons such as AA, SVBIED, RPGs etc and all other weapons that goes against Geneva convention. Again the said base may be in an isolated area with weak defensive setup so atimes it is easier for Boko to engage them for hours since they know backup either from other land forces or the NAF won't come ontime to rescue the situation. This is one of the reasons army super camp was setup and so far it has being a success because many soldiers were pulled out from their outposts to fortify bases but not w/o disadvantage as it has given BH leeway to operate freely in ungoverned areas.
2) It's not necessarily because of that most atimes it could be as a result of faulty equipments such as unserviceable vehicles, tanks etc that will enable them do their job effortlessly and as a soldier if your equipment fails you the only option is to japaa( tactical retreat) so that you will live to fight another day.
3) No matter how poorly trained we feel recruits are, they are better trained than the Insurgents, sometimes the media blow some of these attacks out of proportion and also the military have done a shoddy job in the other part of the war which is Media propaganda. I don't think Bokoharam fighters are trained for more than 3 weeks after which they are shipped like zombies to fight. If you even see some of the videos of their attacks the way they move and fire their weapons if you're a trained eye you will notice that they lack coordination or discipline, they take advantage of numbers, ambushes and suicide attacks to win battles collateral damage isn't their business.

Toju200:

Tobiloba2407:
First question, what type of gun were the robbers using?
He isnt sbs, since the start of this insurgency navy basic training has placed higher emphasis on field crafts and tactics, an average navy sailor has basic infantry training, unless the standard has dropped again within the last 3 years.

MEET THE NIGERIAN NAVY PERSONNEL WHO GUNNED DOWN FIVE ARMED ROBBERS IN CALABAR

Mohammed Mubarak is a sea man, a gallant marksman and a skillful Navy Personnel. His display during the encounter with armed men that attacked Uddy King Filling Station in Calabar some time ago has gained him recognitions and awards.

He recently received a Gold Medal award from the Eastern Naval Command of the Nigerian Navy in Calabar for displaying such gallantry and bravery act in bringing down the bandits.

Mubarak was said to have returned fire in the defence of himself and passerby and his courage and marksmanship even in the adverse conditions led to the killing of the 5-man gang and seizure of their weapons.

The Flag Officer Commanding Eastern Naval Command, who presented him with the Gold Medal Award, said the Gold Medal Award is for any personnel that distinguish themselves for bravery and gallantry.

If the Nigerian Navy or other Security agencies in the country can have skillful, gallant men like Mubarak, robbery and other criminal activities would reduce and peace returned to the country.

The issue of Robbery, Kidnapping and Killing has become a usual activity in the Country as the security system is porous, posing threat and fear in the minds of Nigerians as no one knows who could be the next victim

blacKDalia:
Who told you that? A standard Humvee will not stop any kind of projectile. It is no different in that respect to a civilian SUV.

An up-armored Humvee can stop essentially all pistol rounds, and most common rifle rounds (7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, 7.62x54mmR, 7.62x51mm NATO). It will NOT stop a .50 caliber round, nor will it protect against anti-tank weapons or IEDs.

seankafor:
oga calm down.. you cry too much..

If you re so passionate, why don't you channel your energy to the appropriate quarters..?

With the capacity of your job as an NGO..you can write letters to the appropriate quarters stating your observations, such way it will make a great impact..

Not coming here to be crying and seeking some sympathetic validation

Toju200:
I still don't get something.
Where are all these terrorists emerging from.
Despite the Airstrikes conducted against them which visibly we see proofs
The recent operations which again we saw proofs of success

These guys still comes out kidnap people unluckily service men fell victim
And they into hiding Question is where
NAF has been conducting intense ISR operations
We should just rotate troops in the NE deploy fresh ones including a unit of AFSF

On my birthday it was two service men death day so sad...

SamuelAnyawu:
Goodnews !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Nigeria Military were able to Trace the ISWAP bastards inside the bush and engaged them in a fire fight. The Abductees escaped during the gun duel. My friend was able to escape too

May God bless all Gallant Soldiers in the Northeast.

God Thank You.

Time to drink beer in the Military Barracks.

Reporting live from Borno Central.

Once again may God bless all the Gallant Soldiers

Whyem15:
Ask turkey about their F35 programme with US. Ask Iran about their S300 deal with Russia.
If he refuses to deliver the planes, who will punish him for it?

cutievik:
Yes he can, and as for the payment, they wouldn't even bother with the refunds, you can ask Iran...

Whyem15:
Amnesty international is starting to shout human rights abuse by Nigerian soldiers again. Those people sure know how lobby US politicians to get what they want. For the sake of discussion, let's assume Trump doesn't win the elections in November, will Biden continue the tucano transfer to Nigeria? A lot will happen between now and 2021 and placing all our hopes on the tucanos might be very dangerous.

kabe1:
Not everything is corruption.

No amount of corruption can cover up a lack of money.

It costs $30,000 to fully kit 1 American soldier every year.

Comparing the Nigerian army to America is dumb to be honest.
