To be fair, i've heard a lot about Gadzama and he is quite competent. The nation stands to gain from his years of service in the intelligence services.

"Oh Lord, please help her wind for me...with her lower body. Amen"

Where are the pellets?

iberu001:
Says who, I said they are among the security units attached to the President and VP against foreign threat. The DSS primary job is to protect the President,VP and VIP. Let me cite u and example,few years back when Clinton was the president,he was on his way for a function in US when the CIA attached to his security team told his convoy to return back to due to possible attack from Al-Qaeda, so they returned back to WH then they later discovered a bomb underneath a bridge where his convoy have to pass. If not for CIA he might be dead now. So Al Qaeda no be foreign threat abi na domestic. I dey tell u Wetin I knw.

The NIA is NOT attached to the President's close protection detail in ANY WAY. That is the sole responsibility of the DSS. NIA's sole focus is foreign espionage outside the shores of Nigeria.

And with respect to your example, yes the CIA probably shared intelligence with the Secret Service about a threat to Clinton's life, and the Secret Service ACTED on that intel. THAT IS THEIR JOB. However, you DO NOT see CIA agents attached to the protective detail of the President. Hell, the CIA's espionage works within the territories of the United States is restricted and focussed EXTERNALLY.

. That falls under the purview of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The DSS is a paramilitary group

The DSS is an Intelligence Organization, not paramilitary.

Thurifer:
U don't know what u are saying.
*The DSS are trained on Defence Tactics and protection of Subject or Assetswhile the Military are trained on both Defence and Attacking Tactics (And of recent years now, they are trained on HOSTAGE RESCUE MISSION)
*The DSS are the A-List of the biggest agency in terms of Defence Info, Intel, and Commencement (more of office agents) while the Military are the Defence Body that secure externals from the country (Field Agency)
*I Would have love to enlighten u more but to cut the long coaching short, in terms of COMMAND, POWER and AUTHORITY... MILITARY is the highest Order. Be Guided �

1) The DSS is PRIMARILY a domestic intelligence agency although it's functions mirrors that of the Isreali Shinbet. However it isn't the only Service trained in defence tactics. The Army's Military Police and the Police's SPU are equally trained.

2) I'm not sure about A list, but if I'm going to place one agency/service as the Top Dog, it will be the NIA, not DSS. Keep in mind that the Army is actually the most influential of the tri-services in the military.

iberu001:
Who says NIA isn't suppose to be among the security details, is there such in the constitution.My bro I'm telling u what I knw .

NIA are not involved in close protection detail in any way. Their's is solely foreign intelligence (espionage). The DSS is the one responsible for close protection details, while the Police SPU (along with DSS agents) counter-assault the outer counter-assault teams in same detail.

HarunaWest:
lol...DSS civilian ke...If soldier go DSS training make I hear say he no confirm.....A DSS that is trained to take a bullet whereas army is taught to return fire...Except recent recruitments into the service, in terms of intellects and tactics, you shud compare the DSS to NIA or EFCC and not NA

Physical wise, the DSS don't come close to the Army. The later's physical regimen is quite brutal. Intellect wise, the DSS obviously takes it as it is an intelligence service/organization.

Finally, please don't compare DSS to NIA. The NIA is on a whole new level and draws from the very best from the DSS, military, and NPF.

Lalasticlala, other side of the story.

Emotions and sentiments apart;

First, sincerely when I watched the video yesterday I was confused. I didn't see any persona that looked like a DSS officer. I've once had an 'encounter' with DSS officers.
They escorted the corpse of a federal icon from Abuja to our village for burial. They arrived early in the night, witnessed the burial, shot guns in the air and drove off.

It was an intimidating experience. They were so organised and gallant. Their men were heavily built and their guns were sophisticated. No one in that video is similar to the typical DSS officer in my imagination.

Secondly, the word REVOLUTION that Sowore used is enough crime against him. I'm almost certain that if someone tried a tenth of such in the US he would be corpse in less than a month. Or at least be undead in Guantanamo.

Note: I'm opened to objective counter-arguments. If you rationally, objectively and politely debate my points then I'll listen to you. I'm willing to engage in intellectual debates.

But if all you have is insults and curses then expect no response from me.

Thanks for reading.

Typical DSS agents are meant to look discreet as the DSS is the nation's domestic intelligence service similar to the Isreali Shinbet. That's how they are able to blend in and gather information that's later processed into actionable. Those agents you saw are probably members of counter assaults teams of VIP close protection details (black outfits, body armour, Tavor CTAR-21s/FN-FS2000s/Galil ACE and Jericho 941 pistols). Actual field officers gathering intel from HUMINT sources are usually very secretive. So it's absolutely possible that DSS agents we're in the courtroom to effect the arrest of Sowore.

This palm wine drunkard again.

Because of their lack of maturity during that particular phase of their lives. Most of them aren't always committed to whatever relationships they're in and will always two-time you. So dating them is simply not worth the effort, funds, or emotion.

shadowprimezero:
I believe you meant the one handed over from NIMASA. That one is still in the process of reactivation. This is brand new. The picture was taken a few days ago at the Leonardo Helicopter factory in Italy.

Wow. Then I stand corrected. That's a good one. I hope the Airforce will also increase their transport helo fleet.

Latest addition to the Nigerian Navy Air Wing spotted

It has always been in the inventory of the Navy for quite a while, but was used for Search and Rescue (SAR). The only difference is that the colours have been changed.

payperpost:
yes even private companies dey owe salary and so? those people can die, not his business, government can not employ everybody

Lord have mercy on Nigeria...

payperpost:
the man has done enough to rescue kogi people from poverty, what are you doing from you own end? you should be happy you have a great leader like him in Kogi, that is why people trooped out overwhelmingly to vote him in again! he's a hero.

Rescue people from poverty....by owing them their salaries for 4 years? Lord Jesus, please I want to leave Nigeria....

Let me use this opportunity to congratulate Yaya Bello in advance. To the people of Kogi, SUFFER is your name, and POVERTY is your hobby for 4 more years. Sorry o.

Have you finished pitying Abians?

What concerns me with Abians?

I won't be surprised if Bello wins. After all this is Nigeria. Pity.

even without knowledge of f/maths. With an adept knowledge in Mathematics (core), you can scale through Engineering well


Without further maths knowledge, I didn't/am not struggle/struggling through Engineering Mathematics courses. There's a lot of time and alot of resources to use pull through while in School

That may be in your case, but I'll always advice EVERY prospective engineering student and even students of Financial Maths not to overlook Further Mathematics. The subject is extremely important.

InansBobo:

Without the knowledge of Further Maths, he will struggle through Engineering Maths that is compulsory and carries a high number of units.

muystoy:
Rubbish! I don't even understand how all these symbols and jargons relate to life, we understand physics and chemistry are practicable, but that further maths is a fucking scam.A friend of mine said further maths was invented just to scare students and make them feel like failures

Further Maths is no scam. Apart from Engineering Maths, engineering students will see it's application in other subjects/modules eg Signal Processing, Control, etc (for Elect Elect Engr. Students).

oluwasegun462:
I am aspiring to study computer engineering in unilag and I want to know if further maths is compulsory. I studied further maths in secondary school but I didn't write it in waec. I passed excellently in maths, physics, chemistry, English and other subject.
Pls I need answers

ABSOLUTELY. As an Engineering student you'll meet Engineering Maths from 100-500Level. I STRONGLY suggest you take your Further Maths subject VERY SERIOUS.

One billion Naira....to prepare a budget....yep, Nigeria is f@#ked.

MiddleDimension:
i have asked the same question too. i wonder why all we keep getting from Russia is this helo. when will other helos arrive? when will sukhois arrive?

The Mi-35M are ok, but we need a considerable lift capability. Buying more Mi-17 Transport helos would've been preferable. And we need better fixed wing fighter jets like the Su-27 or Mig-29SMT

Jimi24:
The real helicopter gunships are not up to 70. Nigeria had about 12 to 34 A109s doing nothing but utility for many years.
MI 24/35P/35M not all in active service.
I agree we should be using a lot of L-39s in the daytime. F7NI is useless on the battle field only good for destroying bases

F7NI useless? I thought we acquired precision munition kit for the F7s, hence they employment in theatre up north.

Looks like a modified copy of the Russian FALCATUS APC used by the FSB.

WARTHUNDER:
The blood of 2,000 KIA Kurdish fighters and 10,000 WIA, defeated ISIS, not Iraqi army aviation. Helicopters will help but not the winning tool. We all read about it, and experts who witnessed the war tell the world that Kurdish men on ground were main key to victory over ISIS not helicopters.

If you're referring to ISIS defeat in Iraq, what about Iraqi Special Operations Force (ISOF- Golden Brigade) that basically engaged ISIS from the very beginning when other Iraqi Army units fled, and the Shia Militia groups with backing from Iran? These units equally deserve commendation for the defeat of ISIS in Iraq.

Looks like a Gaboon Viper. Longest venom fangs.

Yet we celebrate those who steal billions from the public coffers. I'm done with this country..

They are the lucky ones

They are NORTH KOREANS. Nigeria is better.
