This doesn't mean anything in a Nigerian context.

We've never closed any significant deals of note in any of these air shows.

We only go there, look, come back home and have a different competition.

CAS ON OPERATIONAL VISIT TO GUSAU, CAUTIONS TROOPS TO BE FOCUSED AND VIGILANT

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) component of Operation Hadarin Daji have been charged to remain focused and vigilant as they make concerted efforts towards ridding the entire North West of bandits and other criminal elements. The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao stated this today, 14 September 2021, while on operational tour of Air Component under Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) in Zamfara State. According to the CAS, the current onslaught against bandits and their activities has continued to yield the expected outcome hence the need to remain focused disciplined and extra- vigilant until the security situation improves. According to the CAS, 'This is not the time for you to be complacent or assume that we have overcome the enemy. Rather times like this calls for utmost discipline, alertness and extra focus on the task ahead.' Air Marshal Amao went on to commend them for their gallantry, dedication to duty and resolve towards ensuring that the fight against banditry in the North west is brought to a conclusive end.

Earlier, the Joint Task Force Commander of OPHD who also doubles as the General Officer Commanding 8 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General UU Bassey, briefed the CAS on ongoing operations in Zamfara State and the entire North Western area. He informed the CAS that the operations have continued to yield the requisite results with bandits hideouts being destroyed and decimated. Maj Gen Bassey also thanked the CAS for ensuring that the Air Component as well as the NAF Special Forces are well trained and equipped for deployment to operational areas in the Region. According to Maj Gen Bassey, the renewed vigour exhibited by both Air and ground troops will no doubt be instrumental towards bringing the security situation in Zamfara State and environs to an end.

The CAS also took time to visit wounded airmen at the Federal Medical Centre and 207 Quick Response Group, Gusau where he assured them of NAF's commitment towards their medical attention and complete recovery.

It is important to note that the NAF Special Forces as well as its air element have continued to be key enablers and deciders in the fight against banditry in the North West. Indeed, in the last 2 months, several bandits have been neutralised through coordinated efforts between the air component, NAF Special Forces and other security elements in the theatre of operations. The joint operations, which is in its critical moments, has so far seen to the dislodging of key bandits' leaders and their followers as well as the destruction of their strongholds.

As good as they are, I think the demand is too time critical to rely on local vendors for now. Buhari is throwing so much cash into the military in anticipation for next year's offensive which he's hoping will be decisive. Its his last chance to leave a positive legacy on security and he know it. Lets hope to see results and a mother of all offensives this dry season
If we look at the number of CS/VP3, Isotex Legion & Isotex Phantoms we've bought, i'm not even adding off the shelf FV-103s, we could have accommodated local manufacturers.

Although i agree with your comment in bold, but we could have also achieved a balance.

New batch of 100 Bigfoot MRAPs for the Nigerian Army shipped. NA seems to be building up and investing significantly on protected mobility in anticipation for the dry season offensive operation. I hear 35-40 Isotrex Legions Mraps are currently in Abuja pre deployment, along with new tracked APC's ordered after the impact made by the FV-103 Scorpions
We should really look at building, investing in our local manufacturers.

Purchasing these many vehicles from abroad makes no sense to me, especially when we are dealing with a not so technical equipment, where a strong local alternative exists.

Sorry Josco, we don't have money to buy 4 submarines, even if we are getting submarine, it won't be more than 1, highest would be 2 and it will take years, submarines are very costly, 1 submarine cost a billion plus dollars, where would Nigeria get such amount for 4 submarines, when it's not even a necessity?
We can't even get that 4 frigates you mentioned there, easy abeg.
You can't be talking like this.

You know if Oga Josco wants to do give away for us?

You've only helped in exposing the utter incompetence & cluelessness of the Nigeria Police Force.

What a waste.

Officers like you in the Nigeria Police, gives more credence to our current shameful state of insecurity.


Embarrassing!!

Nigeria should stay away from any hard power diplomacy unless its likely to become a threat to us or impact on our closest neighbours.

We have far too much insecurity on our home turf to go get stuck in a quagmire in Guinea.
GEJ Diplomacy is usually too soft, too understanding.

We need a hardliner to act as a counter-weight to him with regards to diplomacy.

Short term military interventions are really important, however i don't think we should get into it for now.

Although i believe we can spare 2,000 soldiers for any intervention.

Short Term, yes. Long Term..... NO!!!

Army procurement is madness *no offense.*

First they acquired less than 50 T-72s (three different variants), then they went for less than 50 VT-4s which is perfect, and then someone somewhere thought it was a good idea to buy another 10 T-90s! Wow. And we still have T-54/55s, and Eagle (Vickers) Tanks.

Let me not even talk about MRAPS. because personally I've lost count of the number of varieties. From west to east, middle east and back to Africa.

Technical support, training, and logistics would be a nightmare by now. Well I believe the Army have their reason which I don't know about because they've stuck with this policy for a long time.
Lacking strategic thinking.

The security of the gulf of Guinea is very important to the economy of Nigeria. Especially now that critical economic assets are being sited near the shores(LFTZ and Dangote refineries etc). For a country that depends heavily on import of finished product and export of raw materials, we can't have a strong economy if we don't have safe waters.
There's also BUA Refinery in Akwa-Ibom, but i get your point. I get your point though.

Chai four corvettes.. Nigeria is truly better just that. Although, the CNS said that the NN is still adhering to its 10-years strategic plan.

Right now, with the two new corvettes in the pipeline, that means they've fulfilled their short-to-medium term requirement. What is left is the longer -term requirements which includes a submarine and a frigate.
The good thing with the Navy is continuity of policy, strategic plan and objectives.

The Nigerian army just seems to be all over the place.

I don't like when commentators refer to our OPVs as corvettes, it gives false hope of what it really is.

We are getting 2 additional OPVs.

We should follow up with 2 proper Corvettes.

I don't know if you're following the Philippines military modernisation, it provides a modern approach for a budget military.

Let's see what happens within the near future, but i usually don't like to push my hope.
