Sizzorkay:
That's how things get muddy, a soldier threatening to charge a police officer, under what authority? Unless war was declared in that area or zone, the sole Authority btw those two men, is the police officer, not the soldier.
But of course in Nigeria who the fvk cares about such. In sane countries, soldiers have zero authority in civilian areas and on the street, unless they were deployed there
The Officer was right Firing teargas and live ammunition wouldn’t de-escalate the situation .
Let’s try something else .
Everything cannot be solved by bullets.
You would be the first to criticize the NA Officer if he didn’t intervene.

A lot of things are really happening. I just heard that some herdsmen or so are dressed in military uniform and killing people in rivers. Others said its soldiers. I dont even know what to believe.
Herdsmen again the ethnic baiting arises.
The people living in PHC have debunked this rumor since yesterday that absolutely nothing like this is occurring but you are here wanting Nigeria to burn smh

Egypt has the strongest military in Africa, followed by Algeria then Morocco.

After these 3, you have regional powers, Nigeria in west-africa, South-Africa in the Southern region and Ethiopia in the East African region.
Seconded.

The Remote controlled weapon station Guns is not visible or present huh

These tanks looks like the metal composite body is getting corroded already .
This is what is known as the PATINA of the Tank Most sheets of Metal Tanks prior to be being painted would of been galvanized/ bathed in Zinc to prevent against Corrosion it is highly doubtful that the Chinese fully aware that Nigeria being one of their future Biggest customers would sell inferior Tanks . The Chinese would be anxious as well as the Nigerians to see how well / badly they perform in battle, Also there are a quite a few Western Countries even from a point of curiosity would like to see why Nigeria actually chose these Tanks over the upgraded T72.

The way to understand how powerful a Country really is look at how much they spend ( money , time and personnel ) on maintenance. not the shiny new equipment.

You see them Josh as I am being DRAGGED , the premise of my argument is what happens when SF OPERATIONS GO SPECTACTULARLY WRONG ALL OVER THE WORLD
They on the other hand including" MR NGO " have reduced it to I am comparing NIGERIAN SF TO US SF, They are also comparing body counts 600 to 5-7?
May the souls of all SF who were KIA rest in perfect peace. your watch is over .

If am not mistaken..this happened on a mountain top...where SEALS where asked to set up OP...the C130 that ran surveillance didn't see Taliban fighters Hidden in caves...two Chinooks were destroyed... 2 Rangers squad came in as back up, they lost some good men that Day (both seals and Rangers)
Thank you Josh Education given to you by your parents wasn’t wasted
That whose name I would not mentioned also chimed in
One said 5-7 SF died.
19 Died May their Souls rest in perfect peace
The Laziness just to read and Comprehend continues.
Some even said I compared the Baga operation of FOB to the US Navy Seals
Josh actually Highlighted what I said
The operation became botched because their communication equipment failed Pure and Simple.
The Rescue operation failed because the enemy was not spotted and Two Chinooks against better judgement took off without Gunship escorts.
I know it would absolutely kill some of you to criticize another Country .
Don’t worry they no go deny your visa now.
Baga got overrun SFs got killed and the Naval Commander ( Who by the way wasn’t SBS) was killed.
See how simple that is ?

Faithful007:
A botched operation is different from an overrun base.
It wasn’t a botched operation.
The comms failed.
As is the case in SF ops when they have to be bailed, The 2 ,Chinooks sent to extricate them had no gunship escorts they were shot down by a rag tag group of Taliban with RPGs ( sound familiar?)
When thing go wrong they can go spectacularly wrong even for some of the World’s Best SF.
We just don’t get to see it that often
Here you are already defending another Country’s SF but Rubbishing Nigeria’s
You probably will defend the debacle that Russia’s SF did at a day care too .

yeah officially Egypt has a smaller budget than SA..... Lol!! However they are well taken care of by Uncle Sam and the middle East
Based on the US Aid ,
Based on aid who are terrified of Iran
Based on the amount to maintain the gigantic amount of maintenance for such a large arsenal of weapons
It will be IMHO
$20B.

Same way we have been BASTARDIZING THE WORD SPECIAL FORCES.

Imagine telling a Sayeret Matkal of Israel.
Or a British Special Air Service (SAS)
Or a Navy Seals, USA that less than a dozen ragtag Almajiri boko boys with just AK47 and a couple of RPGs over run a Nigeria Special Force base comprise of several gun trucks, NAVY SBS in Baga
So SF Bases don’t get over run
The lone survivor was about what in Afghanistan?
Read enough books on the Failed operations of Mossad then come back here and talk.
The reality of SF is the failures never get published unless someone goes rogue .
The reality is they do happen.

Please grown ups are talking this is something you don’t know anything about including Iran.
Just for your feeble mind , before the Hostages were released , The USA would pay the same Iranian Govt millions of dollars to the Algerians who acted as go between.

Blind patriotism is not different from religious fanaticism, they won't make you think well.

Whether is your military or paramilitary forces, once the US can prove your security forces are violating human right, then the Hammer will fall on you, it does not matter if you use your money in buying the weapons or whether is giving to you free by the USA.
Please grown ups are talking.

Iran paid the USA for weapons, the USA didn't deliver the weapons and they withhold the money.

So far the weapons will be coming from the USA, the leahy amendment can fall on you.

The leahy law was not existing when the USA seized the Iranians money for arms, but I am just trying to prove the hammer won't fall on people that depends on military aids from the USA alone. And it has to do with all security personnel, not just the armed forces alone.

If it's proven any security personnel of a country is violating human rights, the hammer will fall on you.

And we can still remember what happened during the GEJ administration when the harmer was knack on his administration... Even South Africa was not ready to sell arms to us grin

GMB wey promise to reform know Wetin e dey do grin even though his Government has been reforming and disbanding SARS since 2015 grin

In my opinion the protest has been hijacked by hoodlums and clout chasing celebrities
A demonstration that becomes emotionally driven eventually becomes like a curve it will reach its peak within 2-4 weeks and then it will fizzle out.
I whole heartedly support the ENDSARS ( absolutely) mission accomplished
have the President speak on the issue of Police reform in a whole (mission accomplished)

What cannot be reasonably done in one to two days is to weed out all the bad / killer cops you cannot discharge 30k Men and Women and hire their competent replacements in a short period
OGA JTEKU you are bigger than this and you know it deep down i have no quarrel with you and that is from my heart to yours it is not about the pictures ( trust me if I actually agree the detested one ( Aisha ) is right best believe me it is not about the pictures.
What is the END game of the demo ? NPF as a whole is less than 400K
UN suggests a ratio of 1:400 meaning the NPF should be 550K Minimum fully equipped you now randomly dismiss 30k and imprison say 1000 of them where do these hungry , angry men and women go ?
I will tell you where they will go:
They will become the ZETAS of Nigeria ( google is your friend)
What actually should be the medium term goals of the demonstrators ?
A tax to pay for the accommodation/ barracks of all NPF PERSONNEL, Pay , uniforms, equipment specific like water cannon , shields, pepper spray , rubber bullets to replace live bullets?
What actually should be the long term goals of the demostrators?
The infrastructure should be put in place with judges, NPF personnel fully integrated INTERNAL AFFAIRS UNIT and HR orgs to monitor and punish the erring police personnel and even tried for murder. ( NAF has this in place)
Real security is handled by the big three
Army, Navy, Airforce
This is what we discussed on this blog, the fact that the demos has continued for more than 6 hours shows none of the armed forces are involved.
The demonstrators have genuine grievances but it is now being derailed and people are beginning to turn against them.
I perceive you to be a GENTLEMEN hence I await your apology for being abusive.
Best regards

Here are some iconic pics from the #EndSars protest
It is off-Topic
You knew
But you posted it.
And no reform
End SARS has nothing to do with this thread
It is called African Military.

Algeria, Ghana, Liberia, S’Africa.

Nigeria may yet fall foul of Leahy Law if going by current happenings! Lack of trigger discipline amongst armed personnel, unchecked powers and mouth service by heads of some security services.
The Leahy Act is when Military AID is being given
Not when something is bought.
Can We please stop the panicky writing.
I know quite a few people believe all this Leahy bullshit all the time.
The Dems are not in power
The Republicans are and the Americans have a lot on their plate right especially dealing with their own Police Brutality Issues.
President Trump is the one who okayed the deal not
Sen Leahy.
Nigeria spent $490M
On that deal.
By the time the first 2 Birds arrive in 2021
Nigeria would of spent a LOT more than that.
The Bulk of Nigeria’s weapon purchase come from OUTSIDE the USA.
Next month the JF17 will likely be here
10UCAVs will be here
And as we speak I believe Nigeria is unloading Tanks from China , Tank Destroyers and GPS guided Artillery systems.
I am sure these systems work just fine at killing .

If Operation Fireball is to be the final offensive it is welcomed.
It must be sustained.
The Entire Shura Council of BH must be eliminated.
BH leadership must be neutralized
NA must be sensitive to the fact that Collateral damage is very likely to occur Godspeed.

Nigeria needs to take a pass on doing Biz Military wise with S’Africa .South Africa is among the unreliable Countries that will drag out the production and eventual handover of Military equipment.
Chad wanted to buy Military equipment from S’Africa, they gave the green light , South Africa was unable to fulfill the request .
Chad would turn to ProForce in Nigeria for the same requirements.
True S’Africa has Missile Technology, but it is not for Sale.
It also is not worth the hassle, the baggage that comes with it.
There is a difference between national pride and priorities.
The Nigerian priority is two fold
G2-G2 Contracts with no baggage .
Military industrial complex to build Weapons such as APCs,MRAPs, Rockets , UAVs/UCAVs and eventually Missiles.
The “ Embarrassment “ of the GEJ years and the front page news of Nigeria trying to buy weapons from S’Africa should be an enduring lesson as to why Nigeria should ALWAYS pass when it comes to South Africa.

It is official:
CAS Sadique Abubakar has disclosed that
8X UCAVs are arriving into Country
70 NAF are headed to China
These UCAVs are most certainly CH4
So in the Quarter Q4 2020
NAF will be expecting
3JF17
8UCAVs
NA
3UAVs
Job well done
Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by LTGEN: 4:19pm On Oct 08, 2020
