₦airaland Forum

Capnd143: good to see someone who knows a bit about NAF, but sorry bro, i didnt include the F5's and the MiG-29 fulcrums in my post, i think you are mistaking the FF7's for them! And yes Nigeria owned UH-1 Huey birds and i can prove it. No harm meant dough, Thanks

I'm afraid u did post a pic of 3 aircrafts (one F-5 in woodland camo with NAF roundel, and 2xMig 27 Fulcrums in blue). Check your previous post with the "naija I hail thee" phrase.

And no, we do not own the UH-1 Heuy. Yes we own the Pumas, Bo-105s, Mi-17s, Mi-35s, Mi-24s, Augusta 109s, Augusta 139, and even Bell Jet-rangers (Navy) and Westland Lynxs (Navy). We even own an old Alloute LUH that currently sits in the barracks of 3rd Brigade (former Air-mobile brigade), Bori Camp, Port Harcourt. But what I haven't seen is a UH-1 huey. Then again, I may be wrong

Your post is riddled with so many inaccuraccies. We do jot own any UH-1 Huey helicopters or C-160 Transalls transport aircraft. Never have, never will.

ALL our A-109 LUH (bought just a few years ago) are pretty much in service (Enugu). Four AS Puma utility helos have equally been put back in active duty after beingupgraded in Romania. 2 of our C-130s are currently on active duties flying sorties in Mal, and 3 more are expected to return this month from Europe where they were sent for upgrades. All 6 G-222s are in active service, with one that flew in NAF technical teams and Special Forces into Ali and Niger Republic during the start of operation serval in Mali. Alpha jets and Mi-35 Hind assault helicopters have also been deployed to provide combat are support for troops on the ground.

But yes our old Mig-21s and Jaguars have been withdrawn from service. But we DO NOT own any F-5 fighters or MIG-29 fulcrums.

Capnd143: As of 2011 this is the list of samples of birds (unservicable and servicable) on nigerian airbases

We don't own any F-5s or MIG-29 Fulcrums. They are not in our inventory.

Capnd143: What happened to this guys:

naija i hell thee!

The Alpha jets are still still in service. 4 are currently deployed to Mali for combat. The rest are either at 99 Weap Train School Kianji (our Topgun school) or Port Harcourt.

The L-36 are still in servcie . I believe they are are stationed at Tactical Air Command Makurdi. Just like the F-7NI fighters.

The Mig-21s have been retired from servcie.

The Sepecate Jaguars have also been withdrawn from service and are currently in storage. They never came with spares or any armament, no thanks to the Brits who sold it to us during Shagari's era.

Last time I heard, the MB339As were sent out for upgrades and aren't back yet

That said, the aircraftin question isn't the one you just mentioned, but rather aicrafts like the single engine bulldogs or any other used for basic training similar to PPL for commercial pilots, and probably other aircrattfs for multi-engine training for future transport pilots. That's why NAF sends out cadet pilots to training in different countries before returning home for their type-ratings.

Capnd143: Come what happened to all those :
1.dornier alpha trainer
2.l-39 albatros trainers
3.MB339A trainers
4.l-39ZA Albatros trainers
5.mikoyan gurevic MiG-21S trainers
6.sapecat jaguars?
Of all the 32 MiG birds none is servicable? Abi? Where is the money budgeted for defense?

Cheif of Air staff better go and get some [Rafale jets] and euro fighter EF 2000 TYPHONS OH! To boost are NAF.

gidiMonsta: We should have a special unit that handles the heavily armed assailants just like what obtains in Brazil. A normal police patrol has no business with AKs, that gun is too unreliable for poor trained officers we have here. A small firearm and a stun gun will do.

Uhmmm...a lil correction. The AK-47/Type 56-2 rifle is the most reliable rifle in the world. Cheap and easy to maintain.

I honestly don't understand the clowns we have on NL. Here is a once comatose tranportaion system left to rot for 40+ years and just successfully revamped by this current administration, yet some baboons here expect to see bullet trains almost immediately. Una dey craze? Y'all think successful rail systems across the globe (London tube, Amtrak, etc) were all built in just 2 friggin years? When will you morons learn to be patient?

Please do explain your "bigbang" approach.

ballabriggs: I have read some rubbish about "slow and steady" on this forum and I laugh. A nation in a socio-economic crisis talks about "slow and steady", rubbish.

There is no "slow and steady" change in a crisis but rather a 'bigbang' approach to change.

Abrantie: Because Nigeria fears small but mighty Ghana. Nigerians find it hard to believe such a small country, just 3 doors away, can be so influential.

My babe once said to me, "Abrantie, size doesn't matter you know". I was offended at first. but she quickly purred in my ears, "I'll love you even more if you were small but used it well. Next time take it easy on me".

There must be a lesson in there for Nigeria as well.

You just told everyone u have a small dinkie. No wonder you've been pissed with Nigerians. Kpele.

Well I my case, I was sick and tired of hearing those fucktards run their mouths or reading their trash talks and tweets. They had it coming.

So....what's the point of this thread?

[quote author=De-Grace01]You are a very big GOAT, if that is what u hv to say. ldiot.
Thanks to the federal govt. for this good move at last.[/quote]I'm not sure his post was meant to be an insult. A "congested" port will indicate that it is thriving.

neena adjei: i dont thin ghanaian ppl hate us THIS much lets show some self respect

Really? Check out ghanaweb and see for yourself, and other Ghanian forums. They started this whole "war". Too bad they chose the wrong country to f#@k with.

[quote author=Selasie_D]That's what am wondering too. Why are ghanaians on a forum where ppl hate their guts. Its one thing if ur invited or liked, its another thing when ur hated. I think we'll a lot of us found this site by mistake and joined to "defend" wat was being said abt ghanaians or maybe they just like nigerians. I have not been here long but am tired of all the fighting and insults from both parties.All this is unneccesary. We should stop fighting abt the same nonsence and let it be. It should not matter wat they say or feel abt us. Its their site and all are entitled to their opinions. Ghanaians have overstayed their welcome here so think its abt time we all leave in peace.[/quote]If we Nigerians hate Ghanians, it's because YOU GUYS PUSHED US. We are naturall very friendly and welcomed everyone to our forum. We even admired the strides made in your country and had good things to say about it and Ghanians, even though Nigeria is leagues ahead of little Ghana. But you guys rewarded our friendship with malice and venom (no thanks to your unhealthy fixation on Nigerian, jealousy, and inferiority complex). Check out Ghanian website and forums, and you'll see that Nigerian bashing is a favourite. Be don't forget baboons like abratie, petrodollar, otumfour,and co who run the mouths here on nairaland.

But too bad you folks chose the wrong country to mess with . You shouldve known that Nigerians take no prisoners when we decide to descend on you Ghanian lot and return the favour . So, if you decide to leave nairaland, pls do 'cos. No one's going to miss you Ghanian folks.

Sam Milla: I am from Enugu. I think we should arrest and charge him to court for leaving the state without proper handover to his deputy.

He is a good man and he works very well but the Law is the Law. The lawmakers should be dismissed as well,

Oya, go and arrest him na.

CFCfan: LWKMD
My guy, abeg cool down

Why are you telling that demented baboon to calm down? Let the idiota blow an artery or develop high BP,and even take his case to heaven, but it won't change the fact that Ghana got its ass whoooped.

Ilekokonit: Abrantie, you a Ghanaian has the effontery to call Nigerians crooks after Nigeria saved your peoples bacon when your Currency was as worthless as toilet paper in the 1980's ?

Ask any woman in Ghana who is over 50 years old and was living in Nigeria in the 1980's what job she was doing in Nigeria. If she has any ounce of honesty, she will confirm that Ghanaian women living in Nigeria in the 1980's were P.R.OS.S.TITUTES and that is a fact that any Nigerian male who was of age in the 1980's will confirm to you.

Yet you have the guts to call Nigerians crooks. Omo ale. B.STARD.

I don't normally get into abusive words BUT a Ghanaian calling Nigerians crooks (on a Nigerian Forum) just because he is forced to swallow his boastful pride after losing a football game takes the biscuit when Ghanaian women in Lagos in the '80 were prostitutes.

Just get off this website you stewpeed eediort.

My brother, u dey mind that Charley person? Right now, his dear Ghana are even scared to send combat troops to Mali (same cowardice shown in Liberia and Sierre Leone), just a bunch of carpenters and brick-layers. Yet he had the audacity to run his mouth like untreated dysentery on a Nigerian forum.

Abrantie: [size=24pt]GHANA WAS ROBBED OF A VICTORY!!!

WE WERE CHEATED!!!
I BET THERE WILL BE A BETTER PITCH FOR THIRD PLACE MATCH... WHAT A JOKE!!!
FCKKK SOUTH AFRICA!
FVCCK BOKINA FASO!!
FVCK NIGERIA AND THEIR FAKE SUPER CHICKENS!![/size]

Payback/defeat sure is a bitch . Next time you burnt offerings will learn not to run your mouths. Now go home punks .

LOL!! Where are those loud-mouth Ghanian burnt offerings now?! Oya come and talk na!

Nice merger. All prepared for a collective ass-whooping dished out by PDP.

claycares: These ailing companies are looking at Africa because of the fierce competition in the smartphone market and the decline in PC sales.

Huawei ailing? Lawd, ignorance is a real disease! You're talking about one of the largest manufacturers of telecommunications equipment in the WORLD. ALL GSM operators in Nigeria and a lot of foreign service providers use their access and core network elements. And Microsoft? Yet you call them ailing?

Jlow2: Pdp has failed nigerians,even with trillions of naira @ der desposal,gej was voted out of sentiments,hw can a public servant stl 40billion pension fund,n be givin an option of fine @ d court of law,while a woman spent 6months in kuje prisions 4 hawkin pure water,wer is d 600,000 dollar bribe otedola gave 2 farouk lawan,y is east/west road still an eyesour,wer re d promises of subsidy removal?dis re questns n many mo pdp has 2 answer

Was the pension fraud cprit not rearrested? Is Farouk not in jail awaiting trial? And what this talk of subsidy promise? Weren't you guys the ones that took to the streets to protest aginst the subsidy removal causing the president to halt the process temporarily? Even with the halt, the marketers who defrauded the country through the subsidy scandal are currently in EFCC's net, and current supplies are thoroughly vetted by the Ministry of Finance before any payment is made.

My money's on PDP.

Where are those useless critics that insult GEJ blindly for deploying our troops to Mali?

truth4meal: if you sent this say sometime before the 2011 elections it will make the collection of Nigerians aspiration at that time. But this is Feb 2013 - present reality; GEJ is not that man people voted for. He has exhausted the sincere support of the people. Corruption is the fad of this present adminstration - he is doing his best no doubt but that best is not fair.

List out GEJ's "crimes" and back them up with facts. Thank you.

Eko Ile: The fact that she featured just 3 people doesn't mean she didn't interview more than 3 people. it's all about what she can fit into her show because of time limitations.

So she just picked 3 people from A SINGLE STATE, because their opinions represents that of most, if not all, Nigerians? Really?! This is just plain wrong!

Afam4eva: So, are you suggesting they go and interview 150 million Nigerians to get the true story? Was it not Jonathan that told her to go to lagos and ask people annd that they will testify to the improvement in power. He never thought she would do that. The people CNN interviewed are Nigerians living in Nigeria and their sentiments reflects the sentiments of majority of NIgerians. Are the comments on her page not an evidence to that fact?

I'm not saying she should interview 150 million plus Nigerians. But just 3 people within a single state?! Cmon! What the opinions of those from other states? Even a poll would have been way better than what they did.

I've always had a lot of respect for Amanpour. But she is DEFINITELY wrong on this one. Is Lagos the only state in Nigeria? Of course there's been an increase in power generated. Over here in Jalingo, Taraba state (at least from Mile-6 to road block), we enjoy btw 22-23hrs of light on a normal day, and straight 24hrs of light in the past few days.

Back home in PH (Ada-George), power supply is a bit erratic, but our neighbours along the same street connected to a different lineand some areas within the adjacent Federal Housing estate enjoy way more hours of light.

But I guess the 3 individuals interviewed and tweets from a few Nigerians (including some in diaspora) represent the opinions of all Nigerians.

tchaik: have you had Power for straight 24 Hrs #uninterrupted?
And where exactly do you reside in Benin?

Yes I have (Jalingo, Taraba state). Including today.

COOLDUN: It was the British that joined you together not God, or do you mean god? if that you are correct but if you are referring to the almighty God you are lying. If the living father did it, the rate of tribalism wouldn't have been so high like this. You guys believe in what others don't believe in.Where there is unity, love and peace,God is never seen there. Nigeria is an example. We only call God in vain.

Mr man, if you're sick of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, here's an idea-drop your passport and get the hell out legally or illegally (no one cares). Just leave this great nation to those of us that deeply caree about here and have faith in her potentials.

You can also quit whining and play your own part in taking your nation forward.

So far GEJ has impressed me infrastructure-wise. From improved power supply (which has been sustained for quite a while now), the nation's rail network, to the repairs of our dilapidated road network (my recent trip from Jalingo to Port-Harcourt was quite smooth and fast, thanks to the ongoing road repairs). Come 2015, GEJ will get my vote again.
