E shock you ba?
I think they even wrote OSINT instead of the full meaning to confuse some poor desk pusher in charge of appropriations.

A LOT OF THESE OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE/PROGRAMMES(OSINT) ARE ACTUALLY FREE.

MALTEGO is one of the few available where you have to pay and like you said its ONLY 40K for the server version PLUS TRAINING.

Someone in DIA has made a hit.

They will use their veto against any sanctions.
Sometimes resist the urge to write.
The Nigerian Military doesn’t have a dedicated Military Satellite System.No one said they did .
They have the King and the AT-42 that provide more than enough.
Just to throw this in Russia is also a member of the P5
They will also veto any sanctions.
Now go and play with your toys

What if I tell you that it was a Co-Op. The so-called kidnapped guy is one of them US operatives, with gps location implant in body. The man has a farm in Niger. Since when did Americans start farming in Niger. Nigerians who have not lived abroad do not know the real nature of the white man.

So, how did they trace him pin-point if he was not one of them. That is the reason why Knowledgeable goons have deserted the thread. Because if you talk, rather than learn, they will come with stones.

Their aim is to embarass Nigeria. But alas, they will fail. Same way they are blocking NOI at WTO

She was walking and got hit from the rear of the vehicle? that said, who was claiming 2nd degree murder? This is involuntary manslaughter, not 2nd degree murder.
It was an accident.
And only in Nigeria would passengers in vehicle involved in an accident be arrested and prosecuted, they weren't in control of the motor vehicle, only one person was driving that car, and only him is responsible for this, not all 3.

LtRussell:
Honestly the "repentant" terries project is one of the dumbest I have come across.
Terries ambush, kidnap, kill and maim without batting an eyelid. They stick to their demands and justify their actions.

Terries don't have "repentant" captives or hostages. But for some silly reason, the proponents of the project believe that
you can de-radicalize a hardened terry within a year, in an ongoing conflict fuelled by religious ideology.



The solution to this war is simple and straightforward. But the sad reality is that the political ruling class and some elements in the military
are not ready and willing to do the needful.

Politics, corruption and nepotism has crippled the war effort.

Respect to every GI in the field, under the scorching sun, wielding that old AK-47 with 3 magazines.
Taking orders from high command knowing that you will might not return alive.
Leaving your loved one's behind not sure if you will see them again.
Going on patrols without adequate comms and mobile protection, on ops without intel.
You are dispensable.
But your sacrifice remains long after you are gone.

Jimi24:
The man made a very intelligent, security savvy suggestion about buying up weapon stashes (for cheap) in what was then a government-less country and you did not even think thro it before dropping "secure borders" cliche. What is the special meaning of "secure borders"? . Every government has been trying to secure borders since xxxx BC and every government fails.

If Nigerians would just stop dropping generic buzzwords all over the place and get creative about solutions maybe things would be better.

ugo4u:
One of the mistake Nigerian military and in extension FG did was not buying up the stash of weapons in Post Ghadafi's Libya. The NIA, NSA should have played an active role in this, we would have killed 2 or more birds with one stone i.e getting sophisticated weapons at giveaway prices & to a reasonable extent controlled the illegal proliferation of arms in the west African sub-region, but we let that golden opportunity pass us. The then gov't of the day together with the service Chiefs were more interested in stashing their soakaways and Geepee tanks with hard currencies, the status quo still remains the same.
We are always reactive, being proactive is not our thing. Everyone leverages on any opportunity they get to enrich themselves, no sense of Patriotism whatsoever.

Texman21:
Here goes the chad debate again...

Mugiwaraluffy:
Having special forces operating behind enemy lines is risky, but might work out.
If they can blend well with the terrain and supposedly there are no saboteurs that'll give intel to the enemies, this might work.
The idea behind this is just gathering Intel and reducing rate of ambush.
My theory is that BHT send maybe a 2-3 man to set out these IED before converging to execute an attack.
They use several bunkers as sleeper cell hence the reason why they're quick to disperse whenever they're on pursuit.
If it's a 2-5 man team planting the IED, the soldiers should be able to take care of them without stress.
They'll need to be discreet about it using supressors, NVG (if required especially at night), scope etc.
We can also have a dedicated air support on standby 24/7 close to base should in case they'll need help
Note: this is just a short term fix pending when we can have eyes in the sky 24/7

Mugiwaraluffy:
I have an idea, but it might be wrong so I need your inputs.
Recently our troops have faced ambush whenever they're on patrol or coming back from a mission. I think the risk can be reduced by setting out a 5 man cell with a sniper fixed at strategic points along the road. This guys blend in well with the terrain and can get real time info on movement of hostile and also reduce ambush to a considerable amount. This guys are also in charge or getting real time info on movement of BHT hence FOBs would be notified before they come close to town.
These guys can be rotated let's say daily.
I don't know Borno, but let's say Maid-Damboa is 50km, we can get a cell positioned at strategic locations every 10km or 5km.
Since we don't have drone that can loiter 24/7 and even if we do, that'll be loads of info to go through daily, we can use this method.
This would require some kits let's say NVG, scope and some basic stuffs like that.
We can manage this pending when we can get enough drones and good mraps.
NB: sometimes IED still take out MRAPs

komekn:
We just need to accept the fact that we are not longer the big brother we think we are.

Swallow our pride and beg the Chadians to come and help us they did it before they can do it again.

I think moral in the army is at a very low level.

I think it would be much much cheaper to pay the Chadians as well.

Faithful007:
what of foreign assistance. I don't think any other country is fighting terrorism alone like we seem to be.

Faithful007:
The only option for Nigeria to move forward is to employ foreign actors in this war before it turns to something overboard. Though that has some disadvantages, it should reduce the bht and iswap before they reach the stage of the houthi's and the likes

They recruit a lot of rich people. I can mention more than 5 offhand. but, let me mention one and you can search and know more about him. His name is Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

Litmus:
Give everyone in Nigeria a job, a house and a car and the war in the NE will continue. And those that feed you the poverty excuse will point to poverty in the Sahel region, then Africa and then a return to the “Corruption” trope.

Whyem15:
Let's even assume this isn't a speculation and we are able to prove it, who do you think they target to recruit or you think "the Arab and western world" can achieve what they are assumed to be achieving without recruiting from our populace?

Whyem15:
It isn't caused by poverty, it is fueled and sustained by poverty!
How many rich people do they get to recruit?

demolition:
when hell breaks loose and you are disoriented and deaf. Your chances of survival are close to zero.

The engineers threw safety out the window on this one.

You have to be a really good rider to keep that bike stable even on a normal ride.
Talk more of when in action,
lol with vatually no stabilizers I can imagine the rider trying to keep the bike stable while the gunner stands and tries to do his thing.
It's gonna be a comedy show trying to keep the bike from tipping over.

I need a hit of whatever the engineers smoked.
WHat a fantabulous idea

hunter21:
This is very hot in my mind and I am going to drop it here.

The problem we have with this war is that we don't have an "army", what we have is a "cult" .
In a population of about 230,000,000 people the army is only 250,000 the ratio is too large and because of this there is a disconnect between the military and the populace

Nigeria fought a civil war with 250,000 (possibly more than) troops, what was our population then and what is our population now?

Boko Haram, bandits, 1 million boys, what ever name they give themselves, they are all the same thing, terrorists and the police has no business with them. we need Army national guard and army reserves . We need a land force not less than 750,000 men in active and reserve then we can start talking about secuirity/defence

We can stay here and continue posting endless pictures of war weary soldiers fighting Modern Warfare with 20 rounds per man

Or we can start stoning the hard truth like Lance corporal Martins idanpkin

I swear I don't even want to see 1 more fvcking picture again

are we winning or not?

Sizzorkay:
So soldiers got killed in the same area they've had ambush in the past, and most of you here want to blame Buratia? Is he the commanding officer? Who lead these troops and how come they couldn't be smarter in how they carry out their operation? The fact that they failed to adapt and neutralize a trouble spot shows poor leadership at the ground level, Buratai isn't gonna tell these soldiers how to invade ambush or how to drive their convoy, space them etc, or use scout, especially since this wasn't the first incident .
You can remove Buratai today, and another ambush will happen with similar result.
Clueless commanders on the ground is the problem here.

komekn:
You should know l can easily substantiate my position, using appropriate metrics as well as the USAF AFTOC.

You could easily do a degree on this subject some reports on costing l have are 200 pages long. There are a number of different metrics used.

But l have made my point clear, which us simply that USAF costs and NAF costs will be dramatic different.

l am sorry, l don't see it as important to score points of, I know more than you or you know more than me.

ugo4u:
If I am the President before or upon appointing a service Chief, target(Performace evaluation) will be given to such a person for e.g 1 year if he/she doesn't meet up he will be shown the way out but before then such a person will be made to submit a proposal of what is needed to meet the said target. It's high time the political class apply business model especially wrt appointing service chiefs everyone should be made to justify the amount of money spent on them with commesurate result.
For instance, I'll call my service Chiefs in a high powered security meeting, I'll allow them speak their mind and each of them should come up with a proposal to end the insurgency within a given time frame or atleast make significant gain say capturing a Bokoharam stronghold like Lake Chad, or Sambisa and not allowing the terrorists to ever get access to that area again, it will be my responsibility as CinC to mobilize funds or whatever is needed to make such operations run smoothly, I'll expect nothing short of results after a stipulated timeframe otherwise such a service Chief should voluntarily handover his resignation letter.
That way I believe the position will not be seen as a mere political appointment and the need to lobby/jostle for the position will be watered down, anyone that aspires to be in that office should know his Onion and be amongst the very best of his peers cos he knows he will be shown the way out if he doesn't pass the performing evaluation after a given time frame.

komekn:
I don't engage with caustic and vitriolic rhetoric spewed from the gutter.

Even with all that you still failed to give just one LIE.

Until you have washed your mouth of all the filth and gone back to school to learn civil behaviour, you will only have SILENCE.

komekn:
Lengthy they may be but far from the facts I disagree.

You have a narrative and you look for the rhetoric to support it, not a substantive deduction but an emotive one.

With regards to the A29 my view is underpinned with the question of " best value and most effective use of scarce resources." $600 million for 12 turboprop aircraft that will take 3 years for the first aircraft to be delivered and 6 years to complete the contract. When we are fighting a existential insurgency is IRRESPONSIBLE at best.

On the contrary you have made completely delusional misguided deductions. You and other claim this aircraft is the best COIN attack aircraft. But that's opinionated balderdash.

But you don't substantiate your position opinion with anything beyond very weak conjecture and assumptive emotive led opinions.


But back to you tell me one item that is UNTRUE and not Factual .

You must appreciate that opinions are not facts but they should be underpinned with some knowledge and or substantive rational.
