2 more Proforce ARA MRAPs ready for delivery to the Nigerian army

We need more.

walemoney007:
it's owned by investors

This investors found the south safe to operate and work,without the money coming from some of the southern state,all the state in the north will collapse.

Do not feed the troll
The troll has nothing to contribute except pit one ethnic group against the other

jakeporeshenko:
Ohhhhh now I get, you should have made this point in your initial post. I thought you were asking a genuine question meanwhile you already knew the answer to it, I guess what you’re trying to say is Africom is a scam ? Or it’s multinational exercises.

Jakeporshenko:
Ignore.When it comes to Nigeria
Frumentius has all the answers.
He believes nothing good can come out of
Anything called American / Nigerian collaboration.
He has been consistent from day one.
Unfortunately for him the Americans don't seem to agree with his narrative.
Despite the fact this exercise has been going on now to test the capabilities of Countries that cover almost1/4 the continent of Africa' s marine mass it( The exercise to him) is just ticking boxes.
Very soon he will tell us how he ran the entire exercise check the dumb Nigerian barely could get their ships in line.
This is the reality:
The operation involved 4x Ships from Nigeria.
It will test their capabilities with their African counterparts.The usefulness of this was demonstrated when a pirate attack occurred from Angola to Lagos with each Coastal Nation handing off Years ago.

Sizzorkay:
That's a pretty sad way of thinking, if you did at all.

Don't feed the troll.
He is looking for attention.
Ignore.

Odunayaw:
what 5m euros, the one Sahara Reporters Bank manufactured

BH said NO RANSOM WAS PAID
MAMA BH said the girls will be released
They were released
The NA were ordered by the T. C MAJ. GEN to STAND DOWN
They stood down
The only condition the AL- BARNAWI insisted on was that they bring the GIRLS back.
Some how SAHARA knows more the Principal actors involved.

abiodunalasa:
First of all I did not see anybody in this video you posted that is not directly a BHT member.

And even if ordinary citizens were there hailing them, what choice do they have ?
BHT already defeated the Nigerian military, so what do you expect the ordinary people to do ? Chase BHT out with spoons and forks ?

Those pictures were taken specifically in Gwoza and were first published on the web in 2014.

It has been confirmed by Garba Sheu.

tdayof:
Eeben has his opinion but there's something I have always queried and this made me message an uncle of mine who's a major general.

The last time we talked about him, he admired the fact that Eeben gave victory and credit to the Nigerian military but eeben talks like he knows much than the military hirachy here.

Anyways... You can check his response.

There is a lot in here that corroborates what a One Star has implied.
2014 was the worst year.Equipment was deliberately not procured.Communication was non existent during firefights Brave , loyal soldiers used their own cellphones and whatsapp to call in Fire.
I don't want to get political but the average Nigerian officer at the Major through Colonel level who fought and survived and kept the bulk of their troops safe need to be commended.
The election seems to of changed everything.Let me rest I want to keep this from being political.Like Eebs has said repeatedly unprompted Credit should be given to the Nigerian Soldiers.

jakeporeshenko:
Is this Nigeria Cameroon border ? I think it’s Adamawa

.
Yes the Mandara Mtns on the Nigerian side are in Adamawa State.

"It's a dangerous thing we're about to do now, [Odunayo]".
Mate, take it 1 day at a time and hopefully with you soon in the officer corps, mortars will soon take their rightful place in the Nigerian Army orbat .

GODSPEED ! The measure of a man to join in time of Flux and a measure of your toughness. I pray that you will be okay and deep down i admit I am a little jealous ( because i am too old to join and when I had the chance to join i didn't')
May God guide your path and your ways Amen.

NNS ARADU is probably coming back to life. It uses 2 MTU 20V 956 TM92 diesels.

T hat is one of the things i have been thinking , but is it repairable?

GERMANY donates Five Gunboats to Nigeria
also Donates MTU Engine training
Henry please forgive me I know you are busy , perhaps you can get some pictures?
The MTU Engine training is a pleasant surprise as a lot of our Ships including the two most recent NN UNITY& CENTENARY are MTU Engines I believe ( Someone correct me if I am wrong).

newafricaken254:
are you kidding me !that i should go to twitter or cnn!ask around who i am on twitter

Forgive me for interpreting your post.
Your post said that it was rather " disheartening is that they don't want to revenge for their fallen comrade,they just want to Sweep under the carpet the whole incident.those malian tuareg rebels were able to recover those items with out US support"
perhaps i cam across as asking you to go to twitter.
For clarification:
The US always takes revenge on its fallen SF " The verification of the extent of their revenge can be verified in News reports on CNN and other American Media outlets.

newafricaken254:
whats disheartening is that they don't want to revenge for their fallen comrade,they just want to Sweep under the carpet the whole incident.those malian tuareg rebels were able to recover those items with out US support

That is not correct.The US and NIGERIEN Forces already avenged their deaths.There have been other firefights since then.The US ALWAYS avenges the death or ambush of their personnel.For details go to Twitter and see CNN article.

newafricaken254:
Mali rebel groups MSA and GATIA have recovered a vehicle and small arms amidst an operations in the past days southwest of Ménaka, mali, seized by IS group in sahel from US Green Berets on October 4, 2017 in Tongo Tongo, Niger

What happened to the green berets. These weapons are used by the SF of the U.S.

Heavy IED Explosion Reportedly Kills 4 Nigerian Soldiers In Borno State (Photos)



https://www.tori.ng/news/90981/heavy-ied-explosion-reportedly-kills-4-nigerian-so.html

LT. GEN BURATAI
Respectfully speaking Sir
The Nigerian Army needs those APCs and those MRAPs
Please.

jakeporeshenko:
LTGEN see your life ?

Ok o

jakeporeshenko:
Things are really progressing at a fast pace these days, it was less than a month ago that the chief of army stay mentioned the need for these armored mine clearing bulldozers.

These armoured Bulldozers have been in Nigeria for a while at least a year they were bought for mine clearing operations.

Sizzorkay:
Might wanna use that steel to build ya infrastructure first lol, hahaha.
Steel manufacturing is a threat to nato? lord have mercy lol

jakeporeshenko:
He’s a Mopol ?
Anyways I think we demand wayy too much from our already over stretched military, there is no way we can expect every single square kilometer of land in this country of our to be under watch by the military 24/7 ! Plus why don’t we ever shift blame to the intelligence agencies? Why don’t we receive human intelligence from individuals who have infiltrated this BHT organization so we can see these attack’s coming !

The whole idea that the military rendered that town vulnerable when they redeployed makes no sense because those soldiers were probably needed somewhere else urgently.

Let me interject.Please tell your Police friend to stay safe.
Again it depends on which detachment of the police he is attached to.
The Police have seen heavy action in the North East.A Classmate of mine who is a very senior officer has witnessed the carnage.
A lot of policemen have died from Gboko to Damboa fighting alongside their Army brethren.
I have no reason to doubt his sincerity, He is a blueblood meaning second generation and he chose to be a cop.
This incident boils down to leadership as someone remarked the most dangerous person on the field is the guy on the field.The second?
The guy on the receiving end.

Don't know whether this is true.
I will try to confirm
Some of the girls have been rescued.....again I need to confirm.

Odunayaw:
annexation or even a overt support for is equals to shooting oneself in the foot and ensuring tetanus comes to rent the injury
my point exactly is that it looks like we are being strong-armed. What would it cost us to send their ambassador to Yaoundé? a few less Kamerunians I'd reckon

I don't believe it ! jpphilips
I have agreed with all three of your posts so far (not that you need or seek my approval).
I have told my ANGLOPHONE Cameroon friends right now Nigeria needs Cameroon more than than Cameroon needs Nigeria.
Nigeria is in daily contact with the upper echelon of the Cameroon Military up to the Presidential level and the action of over zealous junior level army officers should not be blown out of proportion.
We call the Ambassador, the FM and the Ambassador sort it out.
Odunyaw
I t is considered an act of War both under the UN CHARTER and the AU CHARTER and as the Yoruba people will say " o je te slow" rora o mase gra , gra.
An example of overreacting happened last week with ISRAEL AND IRAN.
Iran and Israel have for years been spying on each other , Iran sent a drone , Israel retaliated by sending F-16 ( gra - gra) One of them was shot down, lucky for the two pilots they crash landed in Israel ( The plane was lost, one pilot was seriously injured and considering what would of happened if both pilots had been captured for destroying some worthless ARTILLERY pieces) then I understand JP PHILIPS drift.
lastly just because the bigger country ( Nigeria) refuses to overreact is not and should not bee misconstrued as meekness it is called seeing the much bigger picture.
Cameroon will long term need Nigeria's help in dealing with
1) The Anglophone problem
2) The bh problem
long after the bh is solved in Nigeria. What Nigeria most definitley cannot do is invite separatist from another country to come set up shop, understand this ( Big picture Nigeria shares borders with 4 different countries and is currently towing a $16 Billion floating platform into the open sea.

Interesting read how the US has placed an embargo on a third party ( France) from selling to Egypt.

Odunayaw:
How they feel comfortable wearing pullovers & sweaters in this blistering minna heat beats me

Minna is not that hot it has a similar climate to Bida , in the Mornings it gets cold, and then takes a while to warm up, gradually ( I stayed in Bida for a while your Body gets used to the variation in Temperature . Ditto for Soldiers.

Xbee007:
Lol, some religious folks', in the Religious Section, sole duty is to curse Allah. They are too ignorant to know that the word is just an Arabic word for God. Arabic version of Bible uses Allah.

I believe my Muslim and Christian brothers
get my true meaning.
