Never assume the worst. No hell will be let loose if govt extends the lockdown. Humans are selfish and would always want what's best for him/her. Govt on the other hand wants what's best for all. People are hungry, I get it, but trust me, no one wants to put himself at a disadvantage position with govt.
Govt is hit the hardest with the lockdown.
With no vaccine against COVID-19, human race is on the brink of extinction. Extreme situation requires extreme measures. I support any measure by govt to curb the spread. This is the only option available to us.
Human has a tendency to adjust and adapt to any situation. After God is govt.

Angelfrost:
What number??! Oh Please... Will it get to the number taken by Boko Haram and Herdsmen alone??! Will it ever match the fatalities from malaria on a yearly basis??!...

You talk about locking yourself inside the house because you have what it takes to do so... Not everyone is that fortunate!!! Do you know what it means to stay indoors without a dime or grain to feed even one's kids??! Can children also go hungry for weeks on end??!...

Let's learn to comment with some humanity!

Reference:
They were selected because of their low speed and low operating altitude which is ideal for close air support of ground troops.

Also fixed aircraft like the Tucano are more reliable and cheaper to operate than rotary wing aircraft. Reason why America cannot retire the A-10 Warthog, though it is jet engined, it just doesn't have a present battlefield replacement.

But of course the US will not sell us the A-10 (they rarely export it) so this is the next best thing.

I may be wrong and would want to be corrected but a toy drone from Ali express would help in knowing the direction the heat is coming from and helped save lifes almost effortlessly.
The use of different kinds of drones for surveillance in this war can never be overemphasised.

The video is proof that our troops will always be at a disadvantage when on the defensive. Take the war to them, isolate and neutralise continously for months, let intelligence agencies together with law enforcement search every liberated settlemets for those among them who will have joined civilian population waiting for the military to leave before regrouping.
I don't know whether the military doesn't interrogate those among the terrorist they catch. Most of them Won't talk without being made to but I trust the boys to know how to handle cases like that.
We just need to change our strategy in this war.

Whyem15:
You can fire an RPG while kneeling.
One RPG fired by the terrorists on one of the vehicles and most of those men are lost, this is what happens when they send guys with basic infantry skills alone to the frontline. I wonder where the 72 MSF guys are.
Buratai will lunch a derby style offensive for a few weeks and return to Abuja. He is just trying to save face.

When your relationship is doomed, there are almost always signs your relationship won’t work out that you are overlooking.

It can come as a shock when a relationship ends. You think things are going great, then boom, a breakup right out of the blue. The thing is, it didn’t happen out of the blue. In the moment, it’s so surprising that things were ending because it’s easier to ignore all the signs your relationship won’t work out.

Of course, some breakups really do come out of the blue. More often than not though, there were signs your relationship wouldn’t work out that you just didn’t see.

That’s what I’m here for. I went through the shock of multiple breakups and went to therapy and worked through what happened in those relationships so that you have an easier time managing yours.

So, what are the signs your relationship won’t work out?

Why you’re worried your relationship won’t work out

Before we even get into the signs your relationship won’t last, if you are looking for signs you will find some. If you look hard enough you will find signs like this in any and every relationship.

The fact that you’re actively looking for these signs means you already know that your relationship has its share of problems. You just want reassurance that it isn’t doomed.

It may not be, but these signs can point you in the right direction.

Signs your relationship won’t work out

Relationships are all different shapes and sizes. Some are more stable and others aren’t. That doesn’t make one better than the other or more likely to work out.

But, sometimes things happen that reveal the subtle signs your relationship won’t work out. You can work on these things and hope to change what these signs point towards or you can see these red flags for what they are, caution signs to make a change.

#1 You’re not keen to see each other. Relationships, no matter how old, should ignite at least some level of excitement. You should look forward to seeing each other, not dread it. If making plans to see one another feels more like a requirement more than a fun date with your significant other, that is not a good sign.

#2 Your fights are always risking a breakup. Fights, arguments, disagreements, they all happen in relationships. The difference between that and fights that nearly end in a breakup is the trust.

In a healthy relationship, a couple knows this is temporary. They will still be there for each other when the fight ends. In a relationship that won’t work out, fights contain threats of ending the relationship which is disrespectful and manipulative.

#3 You put them first. You might think that putting your partner first is a good thing, but it isn’t. Yes, we all make compromises. But if you continuously put your partner’s needs above your own, you are not only becoming codependent but steering into dangerous territory.
#4 You almost cheat. Yes, some relationships survive cheating. A sign that yours won’t is that you are often on the verge of cheating. You may think you’ll never actually act on it or cross the line, but getting that close is not a good sign for your relationship.

#5 You look forward to spending time apart. When your boo is going away for a week on business, you would expect to miss them. If you can’t wait to have some time away from them, that doesn’t shed a flattering light on your relationship.

If you are still together and craving time apart, it will only get worse.

#6 You don’t talk. Talking and communication are key to a relationship that lasts. I don’t mean talking about the weather or the recycling. Talking about your feelings, working through things together, planning for the future. These things should be present for you to feel that your relationship brings joy to your life.

#7 You have the same fights. If you keep having the same fights repeatedly, there is an underlying problem that is not being addressed. These fights could start with someone not doing the dishes, but if it always ends on the same topic, you either need to face it and make a decision or go your separate ways.

#8 They don’t get along with the people in your life. I know our partners don’t always get along with the in-laws. Most can swallow their pride and enjoy a nice holiday. If your friends and family cannot hold back their disdain for your partner, that is a bad sign. They are seeing something you’re missing.

Hear them out. These are people you trust. Their opinions matter. They want what is best for you, so go in with an open mind.

#9 They are rude to others. Maybe your partner is the sweetest person you know, but when you go out, they have a bit of a rude streak. If they are rude to your friends, servers, cab drivers, or anyone else, that is not a good sign. Someone who can change their personality or attitude so quickly is showing a lot of red flags.

#10 The jealousy never stops. If you are jealous of your partner’s friends, job, or ex, it will slowly eat away at the foundation of your relationship. The same goes if they are jealous of you. If you don’t trust each other, nothing will save your relationship.

#11 They ghost you on and off. A healthy relationship is based on trust but also has consistent communication. This will differ with every relationship. If your partner disappears for days at a time, that is not a good sign. Not only are they not clueing you in or easing your worries, but you could drive yourself crazy.

#12 Their social media habits changed. I don’t usually put a lot of weight into social media, but if you and your partner do, it could be a sign. If you always post pictures of each other but those posts decline or get replaced with friends and activities you’re doing apart, that could be a sign of where your true focus is.

#13 You just feel it. Unlucky number 13 is your gut. This is the big one. This is the one that may not have a quantifiable definition or proof. It is all about a feeling. This is just you feeling something is off.

I’ve had this feeling the night before one of my worst breakups. What did I do? I shut it down. I convinced myself I was being crazy and overreacting, until the next day my boyfriend at the time was acting strange. Right before he broke up with me I said, “are you breaking up with me?” He looking shocked that I said it.

For me the A-29 Super Tucano is a poor marketing strategy for a plane that has limited functionality but is being presented as a game changer to gullible unimportant 3rd world nations that are not considered strategic to USA interests.

The term COIN is one of these buzz word used in contemporary times to address the issues of counter-insurgency strategy in war against insurgency. It means everything but nothing specifically its ambiguous and fluid. As a consequence how do you measure its success

So when somebody carries a megaphone and says it is the best aircraft for fighting COIN in the world what does that mean what is the unit of measurement, historical deployment, battle records, delivery impact , etc, etc. In actual fact it means NOTHING, its just noise.

But the USA have said so, then it must be true according to a few. If somebody says that the food in his Mums restaurant is the best in the city, but he never eats there, Eeeeee get as he be Will you believe him.

Lets look at Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan and ask to what percentage of USA aircraft deployed over the past 5,7,10 years in these atypical COIN war settings were the A-29 Super Tucano. If you look at the % US flight hours for this the best COIN attack aircraft in the world across all locations the US has been engaged in COIN, how many flight hours has the A-29 Super Tucano in combat So how do you underpin the efficacy of an an attack aircraft without an experiential historical base line to make a deduction from. By presumption and or imagination.

Second observation, the USA has allies and partners, number 1 is probably UK or Israel, and NATO in the Middle east its Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Qatar, Pakistan, Morocco, Jordan all these countries are having issues with insurgency some to greater extent than others. They are either major partner or minor partners with the USA. Africa i really cant see a major strategic partner, or please correct me.

Now considering the relationship of these major partners and or minor partners and the need for COIN attack aircraft, how many of them have procured the A-29 Super Tucano in their inventory of their air forces The answer is a very loud resounding NONE not even ONE, I wonder why

So how did anybody conclude this A-29 Super Tucano is the "Creme de la creme of COIN attack fighter aircraft " This to me is an elaborate marketing ploy given to insignificant and inconsequential poor third world associates not partners.

Using a Yahoo boy term please correct me if i get it wrong, "Guy man chop, Moogo fall"

There is nothing to compare, one is battle tested proven, reliable, rugged ,resilient, bigger payload (triple the A29) and established with stupendous survival under fire, well over four decades, and can even run on poor grade fuel including petrol doesn't need complicated ground control avionics to get airborne.

They are two totally different aircraft so its a failed comparison.

But the crucial issue is we need aircraft in the NE, RIGHT NOW like yesterday not in 4 years time.

If I had $100 million, we could have 12 Sukhoi Su-25 within two week operational and 24 in 4/5 weeks all turning Boko to dust, that would be a complete game changer.

IMO not just my opinion, I know this war is very political and the fifth columnist are not in the rank and file of Nigerian armed forces but somewhere way higher up.

komekn:
What does it take to CO-ORDINATE a mission it requires 100% connectivity of all combatants to ensure command and control.

Coordination of air assets to ground targets after being painted with lazer for precision strikes is what gives you overriding advantage.

What do you notice about modern armies every combatant is linked in.That gives complete spatial awareness and the ability engagements to be directed and positioned for the best advantage. Making it possible for a unit of 12/15 men to engage 100 create confusion and overcome them.

Are all our combatants linked in with individual comms for control and command, NO.


How much will it cost to do that and effectively increase efficiency by near 100%

ugo4u:
I saw a video on twitter today showing the COAS leading operations in the NE(that's what it was tagged) mere looking at the convoy, the type of vehicles used(Hilux)and the way they were advancing my heart was just beating. Many things went through my mind, it's very easy to lay ambush on our troops walai! Just one land mine/ IED will wreck havoc. I don't know why I am just irritated seeing those Innoson pickup/Toyota Hilux as our primary patrol vehicles, our guys are just too exposed, and genuinely feel for them putting into Cognizance the fact that just one bullet within the kill zone of the body is enough. I still insist we if possible sign a bond with Proforce for continuous production of Mraps infact we can help them expand production line by giving them necessary support (loans) same for NA's Ezugwu Mraps, if Innoson can manufacture APCs/Mraps they too should be given massive contracts, we need to relegate the Hilux for transport of logistics in other part of the country that are peaceful not a hot zone like NE.

Texman21:
I think u should be the one to understand what u wrote.Afghanistan is part of middle east(greater middle east).

blacKDalia:
BMPT Terminator, my weapon of choice for the NA in the North East(because of the double 30mm auto cannon and good crew protection and choice of thermobaric bombs for anti personnel) . The airforce should procure thermobaric bombs for those remote islands to be able to flush them out from their nonsense bunkers.

aro360:
hi nl
it has been a usual attitude of most ladies to tax guys and i think some of them have taken it as a job.



There was dis girl who knew me through her sister then we exchanged numbers because i was trying to teach her how to use an app,weeks later she called me that she has something on her mind that she wants to tell me....then i was like what does this girl wants to tell me then i asked what was it, she said she wants to tell me but she is shy... immediately she said that i knew it was about to tax me then i told her not to say it if she doesn't want to.


At this moment i was really trying to end the call but she later said she needs subscription and me as a sharp guy i told her that am a student lyk her and I'm currently broke that at the end of the month when i receive money i will subscribe for her,thats how i she bleeped off.

Just imagine how would terrorism develope in a western world. they're Alot of things hindering such Their borders are not porous e.t.c
Secondly TRACON is not only for marine only Total Radar Coverage Over Nigeria is merging the airforce Tin sheild Radar with civil aviation radars. I'm aware of the recent setbacks the military is facing it happens everywhere you don't expect our military to be super human
Whether terrorism is In US and Russia or not they should flex some muscles na abi are they not world power.
If it's conventional warfare would u say because it's not in their country it started they're losing...
I'm not selling you absurdities.
If Nigeria says they would send an astronaut in 2025 I believe it's possible with the level of effort I see NASRDA putting they'll achieve.
I'm telling u things that are going on not Absurdities neither I'm I sugar coating any shit..
Well I won't blame you but Top brass
Also lemme inform u new equipments are already heading to the NE apart from the imported VT4 and the artillery..
It now the job of the boys to use them well..

Odunayaw:
My man, there's no idea that will enter the budget. The Tucanoes are paid for and are coming...all this "brighter idea" will only be used in Nairaland Air force

BlackBaron:
At bolded, pray tell where I said such?

About the AC-130, You have comprehension issues I'm guessing? I quoted the dude as an aside. Nigeria can damn buy any military hardware from any blocs, union or party willing to sell. However, you don't seem to know anything about development history. Retrofitting by Denel to any C130 would take a significant period of time before their concept becomes reality unless Nigeria hasn't got any immediate need for it.
It took 3 years for Airbus Military/ATK to retrofit the AC235 and was still undergoing more modifications as the years went by. If we are talking of gunships available for service right now, those are the options I gave.

Odunayaw:
You think planes are a bunch of leggos that you just strap things as you like?

GabrielYulaw:
Lol. In my opinion the F-22 Raptor is the best plane ever built bar none. No other jet even comes close to it. This is all the more remarkable considering it is not even new and was released decades ago.
The JSF on the other hand... If you read my earlier write up, I said the JSF is "supposedly" better. I don't agree with that assessment at all, but who am I to question the wisdom of the Pentagon.
As for gunships, we don't need very elaborate ones. It merely needs to have FLIR so it can work at night, a kind of Firefinder radar for detecting gunshots and long range for loitering over the battlefield. It would be best to use it at night since the terrorists won't be able to see it then. It should have some armor too and must be heavily armed with bombs and cannons.

phazotron:
The army needs to Invest more in battlefield communication and coordination. Our Intelligence gathering agencies are asleep.

My grouse with the super tucano is that the aircraft doesn't seem to have sufficient armor protection to be able to withstand potential aa gun attacks and whatever BH/iswap might want to fire at it built in as well as multiple redundancies to reduce the risk of a crash due to enemy fire. Because BH isn't fielding manpads now doesn't mean they won't try to shoot down our air assets. Theyve fielded aa guns before. We need something that'll survive any BH onslaught while performing 2-3 hrs cas for the army. My 2 cents.
