PrinxArthur1: Rare photo of National Intelligence Agency Headquarters Abuja.

So what is rare about the photo
Abi na guy men no just de interested for the agencie

charlos14: Mister ask yourself why they waiting until nightfall to loot!
We could only see 3 soldiers there concluding that less than 7 soldiers were manning this post!
This supposed barrack only showed two sections of a building, looks more like an fob to me!
This is pure propaganda and standing together will defeat this group........... Take the Israeli way and knock this mthafvckers out.

Democracy will persist.

You still think this video was pure propaganda, how about those military trucks packed in the compound, the two tanks on the video, even most of the hilux truck BH use were in NA colour they must have taken them a long time ago.................but come to think of it, haven't Nigerian millitary ever thought of using TRACKERS on its APC or TRUCKS and let BH do away with them, so that they can be tracked to their base, or they are waiting for us to tell them.

All this talk talk would not solve issues,
Unless we go down on our knees and beg uncle sam to borrow us just two longbow apache for two weeks with their pilots.......then all boko hardware will be history
If not, let's wait for our 40 attack helics which will be delvered in 20??, by then the islamic caliphate would have reached portharcort.

this is dismal, after watching this video on youtube, i now dont have respect for the Nigerian military, i dont know how boko haram took over a military base,even staying there for long taken away ammunations, and we say we have an Airforce, does it take a general to call for a MI 35 helicopter (which i think all might have crashed) back up or alpha jet backup,why dont we have air support, but we keep hearing of orders of AW101 vvip transport helics, delivery of vip beach craft for generals, and the whole airforce has notting to write home about.
From the video,those soldiers running up the mountain running for their dear lives, because no backup to support. Any of those innocent soldiers that loose his life, i pray that any currupt politician or General who miss used the money meant to protect those soldiers, may they crash in the beach craft or Aw101 vvip helicopter....can i hear an AMEN from nairalanders.

Dambao retake

There goes the mind set, I thought of this issue knowing that Africans don't believe in our selves and what we can do, obama called for a summit with African leaders because even America was scared of what we can become in feature when we liase with the Eastern world like china......check out our military hardware in subsahara Africa, all are not from US with the exception of North Africa countries like egypt etc, if the whole of US cannot win in Vietnam, Taliban, AL Quada and ISIS then they have no reason to blame Kenya for not winning Al shabab and Nigeria and Boko haram, even their baby the isreali which have Hamas on a confined sq metre cannot win the war with all their Apache, F16's , Riper drones, F35 lightenng,, then we should never be blamed, except for our selfish currupt leaders, I don't believe in one Africa but believe we can be great.... VIVA AFRICA..

Its amazing ,all the country the hardwares ETC.......But I just thought of something, can all the African armforces combine together win a war againts the United States.

Got this from AUGUSTINE on BEEGEAGLE BLOG.

Nigeria is fighting rag tag insurgents, mostly illiterate men who have never been to world class military academies in Europe….and we are sweating like this?

What if Nigeria is fighting Sudan, Ethiopia, or Algeria ?

Our soldiers will run to hide inside water bore hole ?

Boko Haram has exposed the weaknesses of Nigerian military.

1. Poor equipment and obsolete weapons
2. Outdated public relations management policy, principles and methodology
3. Insufficient or very low number of weapons/equipment
4. Financial corruption and greed
5. Selfishness and mediocre patriotism
6. Poor foresight
7. Weak communication, command, and control
8. Bad supply chain management
9. Wrong procurement priorities and choices
10. Faulty doctrine, combat tactics, and war strategy

If Nigerian military goes to war in this condition, Algeria will pound us into humiliating surrender, and Chad will shock us to the point of calling ECOWAS/AU/UN for peace negotiations.

========================================================

The perplexing question….

Is Nigerian military well equipped ?

The shameful answer….

NO.

Any proof ? Of course yes !

I leave out the Navy, they are winning their own war against piracy with world class results.

Nigerian air force….F-7NI jets…flying coffins….mostly absent in battle….Invisible Super Tucano….mysterious 4th generation jet fighter we don’t see we don’t know….Helicopter gunships with no guided air to ground precision weapons….few numbers of scanty Mi-35 Hind….tired and overworked Alpha jets with no laser guided bombs….Mysterious MBB 339 jets and L-39 jets….two crashes in ‘training’ in wartime…..poorly guarded Air base invaded by terrorist.

I leave it there.

============================================================

Is the 150 year old Nigerian Army well equipped ?

Big NO !

Any proof ? Easy….

There are only two praise worthy weapons in Nigerian army…Palmaria and Bofors artillery guns.

Will they save us now ? No.

We dare not use Palmaria and Bofors on Gwoza, similar Israeli artillery used on Gaza against insurgents, killed 1,000 innocent women, children, men, and new born babies in 30 days !

Will Nigerian army kill innocent Nigerian ? You answer, not me,

Does Nigerian army have enough equipment/weapons to fight this Boko Haram war? No !

Nigerian army is built to fight conventional war, and we lack the exact type of equipment needed to fight unconventional war or terrorist insurgency.

Nigeria is about 4 times the size of Great Britain

North Eastern Nigeria alone is about the size of Great Britain

Great Britain is defended by an army of about 120,000 soldiers
Nigerian North East the size of Britain is defended by an army of about 30,000 men

British army defends their land with about 6,000 armoured vehicles
Nigerian army defends North East with (estimated) about 600 armoured vehicles

Be the judge, not me….I keep quiet

============================================================

The only infantry fighting vehicle in Nigeria army is BTR-3U, we have the poorly armed version that fails to pass NATO standard definition of IFV, we have 14.5mm machine guns on them instead of 20mm cannon…and we have only 47 units of BTR-3U IFV to defend about 250,000 Sq Km land in the north east, bigger than Great Britain !

Cobra APC is the most prominent and fastest armoured vehicle in Nigeria (Apart from Spartan Mk III that has unknown numbers in service, but I assure you we have very few, we hardly see them, it’s all Cobra and Toyota we see).

Nigerian Cobras are the poorest types, base versions, poorly armed and have no smoke dispensers to blind the Bokos in battle.

Cobras, we see with 5,56mm guns and 12.7mm guns, when manufacturer has built Cobra to carry 30mm auto multiple grenade launchers, 20mm cannon manual or remote control, anti-tank missile launchers, etc.

We have 203 Cobras officially.disclosed. Some overseas, peace keeping, some taken over by Boko Haram, some destroyed in Niger delta war, some destroyed in Boko war, many deployed in 30 other states of Nigeria, we see them in Lagos riot, Kaduna city, Abuja etc.

Likely we have about 100 Cobras in combat zone North East.

VBL is a designed to be a recce-scout car and not a combat platform, we have maybe 50 units in NE zone doing the job of a heavy IFV…with toy VBL ?

Those are the two most prominent ‘fighting vehicles’ we see in Boko war…..

Is Nigerian army well equipped ? No sir !

Has anyone counted how many Big Foot MRAPS and Spartan MK III APC we deployed in NE ?

They are not all over the place in large numbers. China is reported to plan for 10,000 mostly Big Foot MRAPS, for her 1.5 million man army.China is NOT at war.

Means Nigerian army should by 1,000 Big Foot MRAPS by comparing our size with China.

Do we have 1,000 MRAPS ? Any proof ? We are poorly equipped as an army, truth !

We are good at buying weapons is small numbers, Iraq bought 600 Cobras.

The photos of T-55 and Vickers MBT shows rusty metals, Shilka AAA unreliable, poorly armed Steyr APC shows the rusty metals we hate to see, the Sagaie Armoured vehicle is few in number we bought 46 units some ancient years ago, maybe 12 left in good service.

You call that an army in year 2014 to defend land bigger than Britain ?

Nigerian army in battle is more of a large number of men riding Toyota’s to go fight an entrenched enemy in a fortified strong hold prepared for about 30 days, Boko having 14.5mm to 23mm guns to shoot and kill us from 3km away, we die before we enter the fortress.

COIN war is a game of fire-power in general, and protection when attacking a fortified position or to survive ambush, one mumu terrorist can use AK-47 to kill a Colonel.

Boko RPG in Afghan war Vs USSR mode will use ‘soft part’ multiple hits to disable out few tanks, Bokos inside houses, hiding behind windows, RPG, Bokos on roof-tops with 14.5mm guns, mowing down our AK-47 infantry, tearing Toyots Hiulx apart, Vickers becomes vulnerable to targeted soft spot RPG and any likely Boko ATGM when there is no infantry support, tank commanders don’t see well, poor situation awareness you get from tanks without infantry support….dying infantry already retreating back to base falling under superior firepower of Boko Haram….wonder why they say we lost a tank…captured by Bokos? Vickers at 60 km/hr, Boko Toyota at 100 km/hr, tank commander retreating, Boko is faster, oga abandons tank, runs into bush or waves down our Toyota to rescue him with speed….back to base…uprooted in battle….Nigerian army fighting at home and getting beating blue black by half illiterates?

Am I done yet on equipment, No….I leave it till tomorrow

=======================================================

Is Nigerian army tactics bad? Yes !

Good weapons, poor tactics, you still lose battles like Ghaddafi’s Libya in the 1980s, best weapons in Africa those days, lost every war and every battle…Libya beaten by Chad.

How did Nigerian army march into Gwoza like kings hoping to win because they are Nigerian army? Do we have Recces? British recces crept at night from Atlantic ocean in small boats into Falkland Islands and destroyed Argentina’s air force at the airport, went back to sea safely….they had destroyed enemy air power to give the British army balance of power for army vs army ground war…they won !

British SAS, against Sierra Leone rebels called west side boys, British soldiers had been in the bush close range, with Binoculars for many days, I say many days, spying on the rebels, drawing maps of sentries, armoury, best weapons positions, and daily routine of the enemy….then on D-Day, helicopters landed the special forces and the west side boys became history…wiped out.

Nigerian army, did you ‘Recce’ Gwoza? Did you know estimates of Boko men and equipment? Best weapons, heavy weapons positions? Daily routine? Prayer time when they are vulnerable? Sentry positions? Entry points and exit points? Routes for pincer attack formation? Route for tanks and mortar spearhead attack? Routes for light infantry? Soft positions of Boko Haram fortress? Ammunition stores? Number and discipline of fighters? Likely commanders?

Poor spy intelligence.

Why did you march into Gwoza without doing your home work on good tactics based on recce reports? Did you attack with ruse/deception/bluff/tricks on the enemy?

Okay, now can you still win? Yes !

Get your acts right.

agaugust: Na person wey una go put inside hot pepper soup you dey find, Army Chief Of Staff say make Sirius close shop, you say make the innocent man take style open new market. Army never torture you before abi? Them go insert broom stick or tooth pick inside your 'long thing' and your piss go change colour.

Abeg no put Sirius Black inside trap o. If una wan confirm war news, enter bus go Damboa, sebi your village fit cover you with African insurance.

R u trying to scare me, if u tot so, then sorry u jst failed...........I knw watin I match

@sirius black I hav a suggestion, why don't I giv you my mail adderess and u'll be sending pix and stories to my box, while I publish it on this trend,,,,,,it will be nice as no one can get to you.

NAIRALANDERS do you guys concur to this.

I don apply ARMY, AIRFORCE tire now I be banker, I wanted to become the next Jack Bauer (24) of NIGERIA , but dem de carry d work giv people way no deserve am. Nigeria Military I wish You the best...sha.

agaugust: .
Nobody knows with 100% proof that it was the real SiriusBlack who posted that sensitive comment, so sensitive it can demoralize soldiers and lead to his arrest for disobeying army chief of staff's orders on internet reporting of this war. Sirius may get away with it if he is a civilian, who knows, some even say 'he' is a woman because of 'her' weak emotions when a battle goes bad and our soldiers die in numbers or her close friend is killed.

The Damboa-Gwoza-ETC battle report is no secret, news is freely flowing in town that we got a pounding but we won, Bokos got heavy casualties too. Nigerian army fought gallantly. Most other African countries cannot do what our soldiers did and win 5 towns in 40 hours.

A more powerful brand of Boko Haram fighters have emerged. Warning for FG, NA, NAF.

A good hacker does not need simple password to break into an account and post there by impersonation. I work in defense industry with ex-military and ex-intel guys, and where I live, ordinary civilian teenagers hack into government military and public financial websites despite all the IT security and encryption.

World's best computer Guru Bill Gates had his credit card hacked by an ordinary computer savvy 19 year old boy, Bill Gate's card money was used to order viagra drugs and shipped to his doorstep last year.

I don't want us to believe this is the real Sirius, he has said finally on july 27th...

It's a free world, those who want to believe 100% can believe. Me, I begin to doubt. It's a free world.

Baa ruwan na , ewo ni o kan mi ?

Ele yi gidi gan.

agaugust: [size=16pt]Fellow countrymen and women, several respectable bloggers on Beegeagle's blog have doubted the above post as being a comment from the real SiriusBalck that we know and that created this whole thread.

They say the statement is too 'improper' to have come from him, they believe SiriusBlack is now being impersonated and a hacker is using his account. SiriusBlack has told us all that he has STOPPED commenting/posting photos on Nigerian army war in the NE, he even tried to deactivate his Nairaland account.

I observe that this new comments are coming from a Nairalander who posts on a computer technology thread on this same Nairaland, he seems to know a lot about computers and is a potential suspect of the act of hacking into SiriusBlacks account to use his name illegally.

Let us be careful from now on.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. [/size]

4get about this beegeagle guys all they knw is talk talk talk and talk, when an individual comment they take it out, only comments from, oga henry, oga jimmy, igbi, are james and so on, I guess they shold be reading their post since they don't want to involve others.
The other day, they talk about survellance beach craft for almost 2days not knowing it was just for VIP transport, then I realized that this guys are wacked, all they knw is talk talk talk and talk.
BEEGEAGLE use people like sirius black and tell us where our super tucano's are, our MI-35m, MI-17sh, JF-17, SU-30, when r de arriving or have they arrived yet and stop this your...........oh no NAF has taken delivery of survellance beach craft,oh no that's the pod underneath, oh no its the baggage compartment, oh no the pod must be hidden somewhere and after two days, oh no its even for VIP transport

NAF
