, wow, just wow,

This is super-story,

Maybe the reason behind the proposed office is to co-ordinate the activities of the various counter-terror units such as the Police Anti-Terror Sqaud (ATS), Army Special Forces Group, Navy's Special Boat Service (SBS), and the counter-terror wings of the various intelligence services i.e SSS, DIA, NIA. But I advise that office should come under the purview of the office of the NSA.

Really?

LIKE THIS GUY?:

Our intelligence and LE services will always have baffoons/morons like those. Still, i stand on my point, this being that we have a lot of seasoned and capable people there.

FOR PETE'S SAK, WHY IS EVERYONE GETTINGSO WORKED UP ABOUT THE FBI ASSISTING IN THE INVESTIGATION?! Now I do not trust the Americans one bit, and I know a have A LOT seasoned and well trained agents, operators, intel analysts with our foreign/domestic/military intelligence services and law enforcements units, but WE NEED all the help we can get in nipping this problem in the bud. Besides, I'm sure that the FBI will only be serving in an advisory role, probably under the supervision of the SSS or the Office of the NSA.

@ ROSSIKE, I'm not going to tow the same line as most, if not all, of the posters here on this thread. But I must say that I find it really amusing that you're siding with those thieves in the national assembly. Now I agree that the NA, particularly the lower house, have passed a few good policies eg the investigation of the airport road project contract. But most of the positive development witnessed by the nation can be attributed directly to the executive, and in some cases the judiciary. Besides, I think its safe enough to say that the legislative arm of govt is the most greedy and corrupt. Just take a look at the recent laws they've passed or are pushing to pass, e.g moves to make them automatic members of the NEC of their respective parties, the passing of the NCC budget for SIM card registration-a clear duplication of the works done by service providers. Oh, and did I forget their bumper salaries?

Until an official independent investigation is carried out, we won't know what transpired during the military operation. That said, I won't be suprised if the crook John Togo had his camp located close to or within the community. It wouldve made perfect sense as the militants would've been able to use the villagers as human shields.

Besides, the military won't just attack a settlement without carrying out some form of recon using military intelligence assets or SSS operators, aqcuire and process collected intelligence from HUMINT source

1) the only people who really support mend are people from the ND. fr the rest of nigeria, they are the fellows who turned nigeria to the black mexico/colombia - a country where kidnapping s an industry

mend has been a loose coalition of 'freedom fighters' oil bunkerers who pollute the environment, former pdp enforcers turned freelance, outright criminals

in the course of the so called amnesty former miltanat have regularly cause upsets because they are not eceiving theri allowances(money for doing nothing' on time.

a few months ago, they ran wild in uniport, despoiling and robbing.

it is difficult for those outside the nd to understand exactly what mend are supposed to stand for

they talk about justice etal, but the most corrupt leaders are right in their backyard, ibori, alams , odili

they talk about oil companies destroying the environment, then they go and blow up pipelines or engage in bunkering
it has been pointed out before - organisations like hamas and hezbollah, reviled in the wstern meddia, are still hailed as heroes by their people becasuse they engage in social services etal

what has mend ever done for the immediate community?

look at their former commanders, filthy rich and giving nothing back.

when i criticised their act of terrorism earlier this year, i was shouted down and cussed out

this time the have overreached themselves - lets see what the westerm media will have to say

mend has already gone the way of FARC (of columbia) , a onetime revolutionary force that devolved into cocaine warlords

God Help Nigeria

We need an OBJ type leader now

@ oyb, pls one correction: most people of the ND do NOT support MEND. they're just a bunch of criminals, and i personnally have a big grudge against them. i know what residents of PH went through in the hands of MEND. I personally lost my uncle in an attack/ambush by MEND. I want those bastards hung by the balls at the Directorate of Military Intelligence.

This is not the police bomb squad, i've seen some before.

Those are officers of the NPF Bomb Disposal Unit. Look at the shoulder patch.

. . .F-16's and Apache's my foot!

Our best jet fighters are based on a plane that came out shortly after WWII (15 Chengdu F-7s from China). Our best attack helicopter is the Hind (Russian, Apache is American).
This is our airforce website. Its packed with assorted junk and planes that look like bicycles, what a disgrace! You can view it here http://www.nigerianairforce.net/Default.aspx

You're just getting the "F's" twisted and promoting our ultra lowtech hand me downs to modern F-16 fighters. . . Serious over promotion! The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is from the USA, while the Chengdu F-7 is a Chinese plane based on 1950's and 60's technology (thats the best we have ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengdu_J-7

This is an F-16. Where have you ever seen such a plane anywhere near Nigeria?

I'll take the Mi-24/35 attack helo over the AH-64 Apache/Longbow ANYTIME ANYDAY. Reasons:
-Well for one, the Mi-24 is one hell of a beast that packs A LOT of heat compared to the Apache, hence its nick name SATAN'S CHARIOT.
-The Mi-24/35 is far more amoured compared to the apache, thus ensuring the survivability of its crew. For heaven's sake, the helo is also known as the flying tank.
-The Mi-24/35 can also double as a utility helo as it can ferry 7 heavily armed paratroopers or special ops operators safely into hell and back. Pls let me know when Apache can do that.
-The Apache may be festooned with lots of computers compared to the HIND, but everyone, including the Americans, know that the helo is a maintenance-intensive and sensitive helo, thus it spends more time in the workshop than in the air. Imagine if this occurs in the battlefield. it means that the turn-around time for the more practical HIND is far shorter than the Apache, thus enabling the HIND to provide combat air support (CAS) to troops in the frontline.

Well, you have the following:

Nigerian Intelligence Agency: Foreign espionage ops and intelligence gathering
State Security Service (SSS/DSS): Domestic intelligence and counter-espionage, VIP protection
Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA): Military related intelligence gathering arm
Nigerian Police Force SCID & FCID: Intelligence Gathering arm of the NPF

The most corrupt? ALL OF US.

davidif:
HA HA HA HA, NIGERIANS ARE IGNORANT ABOUT HOW THE U.N WORKS SO JUST FREE THEM MY GUY HE HE HE.

Based on your posts, I have to say that both of you are the most ignorant people on this thread. Do you know how many countries lobby to sit on the Security Council. Do you know that the Security Council is the MOST POWERFUL arm of the UN? And Nigeria gets to precede over the affairs of this powerful group. Yet both of you see nothing good in it. Typical.

RuuDie:
& since it appears u know li'l about turkish-kurds history, mull on this!

So the best you can do is quote another person's post as a source? Now that's funny

RuuDie:
Nah. . . your question is perfectly understandable but I'll not bother to answer that because if i think if you read wide and far enough, you shoulda seen at least one news agency that's given a much more broader coverage of the attacks & listed at least 1 settlement in that region that was affected by the brief incursion.

As for the figure. . . . sources are not hard to find, except of course, you choose not to see! As for the identity of the casualties; don't tell me that you sincerely believe that most of that number are Turks *wether millitary or otherwise*

Ah come on, you're already bugging out from the question? *tisk* *tisk*

I'm sure you can find RELIABLE sources to back up your "40,000" figure. Or you don't have any? And how about the list of Kurdish settlements/population centres hit by the Turkish military in Northen Iraq during this recent military operation (and the casualty figure)? Nothing? 'thought as much.

By the way, you do know that that the PKK is listed as a terror group by the United States and tthe United Nations, right? And you do know that the Iraqis and American could stop all military incursions by the Turkish military? Now I wonder why they chose not to, hmmmmmmm,

RuuDie:
How about ", 40,000 have died since this conflict began in '84"

I bet u'll tell me all are confirm PKK

40,000, hmmmmmm. And i guess you excluded members of the Turkish military and Law Enforcement agencies, innocent civilians killed by the PKK and their affiliates, and PKK terrorists huh? And didn't I ask you to list out the settlements ATTACKED in NORTHERN IRAQ, especially during recent ops, along with the casualty figures of INNOCENT CIVILIANS? I'm sure my question isn't so difficult to understand.

By the way, I would appreciate it if youi could back up your figure (40,000) with a reliable source. And PLEASE I hope it isn't WIKIPEDIA. Thank you.

RuuDie:
What are u saying. . . . there are no settlements in Northern Iraq

I never said there were no settlements in Northern Iraq. I simply asked you to list out the settlements attacked by the Turkish military and the civilian casualty figures. Go on, I can wait.

please, give me a break n move on. there is no way he is gonna be faithful, u only see it in nigerian movies, trust me when he leaves the country his eyes go open to the temptation around, n having a long distance relationship doesn't work, i didn't really up with my boyfriend before i left naija, i thought the long distance thing was gonna work, but trust me i've been here for 5 years n all these while he has written less than 10 times and we were in a 2 year relationship, so when i went back for holidays he tried to get back with me but i didn't feel anything for him. all i am trying to say is that you should move on, bcoz he is gonna do the same.

I'm afraid I totally disagree with you. And I'm a proof that a guy can still be loyal to his woman. I left the shores of Nigeria 3 years ago for my post-grad studies, leaving behind my beautiful fiancee. You can only imagine the pain we both went through that very night I took off from Lagos, and I can still remember her cries tthat night (luckily, she wasn't there at MMA to see me off cos I doubt I could've handled it).

I spent two good years in the UK, but through out my stay I NEVER cheated on my fiancee in anyway. Don't get me wrong, there were times I felt strong sexual urges, afterall I'm human. And it was so easy to get laid. But the very thought of cheating on the very girl that loved me so much and stood by me through good and bad times NEVER crossed my mind.

Anyway, the one thing that made those 2 years a bit easy for both of us was COMMUNICATION. Boy did i spend a lot of money on airtime.

RuuDie:
A millitary incursion remains that however brief. . . . & pls, can u tell me how to distinguish between ethnic Iraqi, turkish & PKK kurds thru the sights of a rocket launcher!?

Why don't you list out the populated cities/villages attacked by the Turkish military during this incursion? And while you're at it, pls do list out the civilian casualty figures (exclude all combatants from both sides). Thank you.

Turkey had EVERY right to carry out the incursion. Keep in mind that Northern Iraq has always been a haven and staging ground for Kurdish terror group (the PKK) against the Turkish state. Also keep in mind that the PKK just recently launched terror attacks within Turkey, and the in the past the Turks had lodged complaints with the Americans.

But here's the difference between the actions of Turkey and Isreal:

1) The operation of Turkey was simply a brief military incursion that targeted PKK TERRORISTS, NOT CIVILIANs. That's so unlike Isreal that occupies Palestinian lands and carries out collective punishment on the whole civilian population (men, women, children, young, old, etc).

2) The operations was limited with the Turkish military withdrawing later. This so unlike the Isreali state that continues to place embagoes on the Palestinians and control the airspace and territorial waters of Gaza.

So enough of the "hypocricy" bullshit.

No offense to the supporters of Fashola (I'm also a very strong supporter and admirer of the governor), BUT when it comes to new civil infrastructures, I'm afraid Gov. Akpabio takes the lead there, and a very strong one. You only have to go to Akwa Ibom to see all these. Right now I can say without any iota of doubt that Akwa-Ibom boasts of one of the BEST, it not the VERY BEST, road network in the Federation (excluding the FCT of course). And these includes both state and federal roads, ALL constructed by the State govt. without any input from the Fed. side. The best part of all these is that all these developement witnessed in the state isn't localized in the capital and the surounding LGs but extends to all corners of the state, thus it's impact is felt at the very grass roots. Keep in mind that i haven't mentioned anything on education, marine and air transportation projects spearheaded by the state. I have lived in Rivers state for a very long time, but I can tell you that the current dev., while laudable, there don't even come close to that of Akwa Ibom. Overall, I think the list for the best performing governors ought to be like this:

1) Fashola
2) Akpabio
3) Rotimi Ameachi

I'm sorry, but the BB Storm 2 SUCKS bigtime. I really wish I got the Sony Ericsson Xperia. At least i would've been able to read my pdf files while on the road.

[quote author=Ol_Soldier link=topic=358286.msg6211436#msg6211436 date=1276507932]first, i am a retired nigerian soldier and my personal quote has always been 'stronger than nails' Glad to stumble on this. But where are all the military pensions going to, the arrears that has been left unpaid for decades now to retired military personnel's. why flaunt the nigeria soldier capabilities in weapons when they still suffer in abject dejection, even after risking their lives in wars and several peace keeping missions.

Is Goodluck a good luck to the nigeria military or a bad luck, he has approved the payment of soldiers old time arrears, when will it be paid, whose incharge, i write this in pain and tears, cos many of my colleagues have died in the army especially the 93' 94 peace keeping mission, i was a present soldier in yugoslavia, many have also died unpaid. what is the essence of serving nigeria?

pls stop posting this weapons. why show your anus to your enemy, it is not all that right to tell everything you got to the world, i mean weapons and all.

if you want to know me you ask ask anything.[/quote]Much respect for your service to the nation, and If what you just posted is true, then I sincerely hope that you along with every service men/women are paid your pensions as you all definitely deserve them.

But with respect to the posting of weapons on this post, it's not as if the pics posted here were well gaurded secrets stolen from the coffers of military intelligence or so. Most of the pics posted here were initially posted by the Nigerian Armed Forces and the press in their respective PUBLIC websites. Hell, the last pics posted were from the just concluded NAF Airshow held in month May this year. And most of the pics posted here are what you see everyday, not any of the military assets. So please relax, we're not posting any military secrets here.

yeah me too it is VERY annoying but just in case the brigade of guards DOES not use it i think they use FN(60% sure)
But the advantage Ak-47 has is that it never jams

The Guards Brigade uses the FN-FAL as it is the standard issue rifle for the Nigerian Armed Forces. The Uzi submachine gun is being used by the army's special forces unit, while the latest rifle, the TAVOR TAR-21, is now the standard issue rifle for the State Security Service (SSS) in addition to the STEYR AUG rifle. For the Police Force, the FN-FNC is the standard issue rifle, although the rifle commonly used these days is the TYPE-56-2 along with the K-2 and the FN-FAL. The Nigerian Customs Service uses the older G-3 rifles and the newer STEYR AUG rifles.

For machine guns, the GPMG is still the standard issue rifle, although the Army also uses the German MG-42/MG-3 and the M-60.

Standard issue sniper rifle for the army is the ,although the M-24 was used by the army in the last Liberian conflict.


For side arms, the standard issue for the armed forces and the Police force is the BERETTA 9mm, although the Police also uses the Browning Hi-Power, WESSON & SMITH autos, and the MAKAROV. I know the Nigerian Navy also uses the SIG SAUER P226. I also believe that the DSS/SSS also uses the SIG P226 as they tend to get the very best kit

@Dogma- AK-47's jump wen u fire dem, so u might not get the accuracy needed, although the improved Ak-74,ak-101,105 series solved this problem. Yes AK's are more deadlier because they use 7.61by51mm bullets, but M-16's use 5.56 by 45mm NATO rounds. But still, a soldier using an m-16 is better than one using an AK because(1) My lighter rounds(5.56mm) is like a force multiplier for me because i can carry more than what a soldier using an Ak would.(2) M-16 5.56mm rounds have longer range cos they are lighter and the guns have pretty good mussle velocity. But seriously, u cannot compare AK-47's with modern m-16's. The difference is sooo clear. What U can compare with M-16 is Ak-101.

Oh please, with the current chest rigs beieg carried, a soldier carrying an AK-47 could carry more hagazines. Please keep in mind that in low-intense conflicts or counter-insurgency operations (COIN) were the enemy tends to favour the AK-47 over other rifles, soldiers or special ops operators using are definitely not going to run out of ammo anytime soon. So the force multiplier argument doesn't hold.

On the Ak-47 vs M-16, yes the M-16 trumps the Ak-47 abit in accuracy, no thanks to the bolt mechanism of the AK-47 that causes the barrel to wobble when fired, and the stock of the rifle that adds to it. But that's it. The M-16 doesn't even come CLOSE to the Ak-47 in EVERY OTHER ASPECT. I definitely would not want to go into a firefight with the M-16 cause it will definitely jam on me, and that's a big no no in a firefight. And God forbid if I have to use it in an arid region with lots of sand and dust. Right now, US soldiers in Afghanistan are complaining alot about the M-4, which is supposed to be an improved and lighter version of the M-16. It's no wonder US Special forces from Rangers to Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta have all dumped the M-16/M-4 for the FN-SCAR. And it's definitely no wonder the Isreali, Finnish, and South-Africans copied the Ak-47 designs for the Galil, Valmet, and R-4 rifles respectively.

Overall, the M-16/M-4 may look cool with all the EOTECH, ACOG, Laserpoint, flashlight, and pistol-grip attachment, but when it comes to practicality, the AK-47 is KING.

Now you clearly show yourself as knowing absolutely NOTHING! How can you claim that the MiG-21 cloned F-7 is 'more advanced' than the SU-30s, Su-27s, MiG-29s et al that Russia and most of the Eastern bloc countries fly? The F-7 cannot be comparable to an F-16 in any way. Haba!

The Chinese have long since moved on to F-8, 9, and 10 as well as other 4th generation ultra modern fighters. All the F-7 is used for now is as a mass aerial deterrent since the sheer number of F-7s employed by the chinese is enough to make life extremely difficult for few ultra-modern aircraft. For primary air superiority, the F-7 has long been superseded by several generations of Chinese planes.

You're just an ignorant person awestruck by simple things. It's people like you that keep Nigeria back from progressing, happily gobbling down the sop thrown at you. You can only make a change when you question things, which i why you people crying about 'unpatriotism' are extremely pathetic.

Let that fellow from the NDA tell us why homeless palestinians can build homemade rockets (Qassam I and Qassam II) yet Nigeria cannot. Ask him when Nigeria started making ordinary Mortars.

The combat performance of the F-7NI may not be as good as the Su-27/20 or the new MIG-29 SMT, but it is definitely a step ahead of the old MIG-21 which happened to be a very good close quarter dog-fighter. Please keep in mind while the F-7 is based on the Mig-21’s frame design, it is a later and far better version. With its crank-delta wing design, bubble canopy, and new generation avionics (i believe with BVR capability), it eliminates the defects of the old mig-21 and has the same combat performance of an F-16 Falcon.

Oh, by the way, Nigeria (DICON in particular) manufactures Mortars along with their 'mmunitions. And they've been doing that for a VERY long time.
