Wasn't there a prediction about Nigeria collapsing ? This is what worries me the most, not Iswap, but the constant rate of chaos enveloping the entire country, Nigeria doesn't have the manpower to put out all these fires. If care isn't taken, the whole darn place is collapsing right in front of our eyes, all because the darn police and security agencies and politicians can't do their jobs and secure the country.
Right now legislative committees should call in Cabinet members and military leaders for hearings/grilling, so they can explain the madness we are seeing all over the country. But in Naija, smh, won't hold my breathe.
Oh well, at least we weren't selfish in our budget, we got Iswap some Mraps. Fvkers.

We can't seem to contain the mayhem in the northeast yet we are opening more fronts in almost all regions of the country, were we ought to use the carrot and stick approach we use a hammer, where we ought to use a hammer we use carrots to romanticise the problem. There are people that benefits from a destabilised Nigeria, people whose stock in trade is giving out contracts for weapons, equipments, buyers/sellers and black market merchants, politicians, military contractors etc Well, like I always ask who is in charge of the affairs of this country? I've said it before that if Bokoharam decide to strike Abuja today they'll do it without any hassles as there is nothing really serious in place
to checkmate any act of terrorism, Bokoharam have hoisted their flag in some parts of Niger about 2hrs drive to Abuja sacking communities and we're not yet bothered only hoping on insha'Allah.

And the dss and NIA DGs are both reading news paper and watching plasma TV in their respective well furnished air-conditioned offices doing nothing meaningful, while waiting for the month to end and alert to enter.... Subhannalah

kabe1:
ISWAP has captured newly delivered Nigerian army MRAP.

This is beyond embarrassing.

I feel very, very ashamed!!!

Jakpon:
The carnage in Nigeria is under reported by the media

Nigerians should take the trouble to think about situations. The brain was given for a reason.
When you are an Army company on the ground and you radio for air support, the *nearest* aircraft is asked to come to you.
What if it was vectored in from another engagement and dies not have any more bombs, rockets and even fuel to make it back to base?. It woukd have to leave you without engaging but there is value in the trip because it might have scared the enemy away or given information to joint operations control.

It is always annoying to hear these reports of NAF coming and leaving without engaging and dunces concluding that it was sabotage

The vehicles are usually carried in a convoy.

Let us tell ourselves the truth, the Nigerian army is an ineffective fighting force. The army is moderately equipped, but poorly trained and poorly organized.

Deep down in our hearts, we all feared a scenario were the VT4 Tanks are captured by the terrorists.

It's just a terrible, terrible situation.

Litmus:
A million man army or high tech; be serious about the borders; trust none of the allies, not the coalition members, not the Pakistani, not the Americans, UK, PMC, not arms sellers -trust none; for every advice, information, etc, ponder what ways it could turn out counter-productive. Seek more cooperation with the Chinese yet do not glibly accept all help and advice….

Things are getting very bad, getting seriously out of hand. Isn't there a way we can invite contractors or colonial powers to help? We can't just keep deceiving ourselves to be a big country, we need outside hands to stabilize this situation.

In fact, at this point, all infrastructure construction and non essential expenses in Nigeria should be suspended and money channelled to security.

Faithful007:
Are you saying we don't need help, with all that is going on?

kabe1:
We need PMCs from South-Africa, security has gone completely out of hand.

We need to bury our heads in the sand, and do the right thing.

Nothing is stable, I don't support giving the military more money, we should have a separate agency which is responsible for procurement and servicing of military equipment in the open.

The military has proven to be very incompetent.

We are just like the Iraqi army, but at least Iraq army have the feared Golden Dawn Division (Special Forces unit).

In Nigeria we had 72 MSF, we had AFSF effective units that were shut down because of politics and utter foolishness.

Xbee007:
Why can't Nigerian military build a drone and helicopter base somewhere that is much closer to the battle field? Housing just drones and helicopters, that is all.

Faithful007:
Do you want BH/ISWAP to start conducting airstrikes too?

Faithful007:
Honestly, these are good suggestions but I don't even understand the kind of president we have. Can he just get out from there so Osinbajo can take over, the latter has better ideas for governance.

Niger state can be handled by 8 division though it will be wise to create another division in that angle.

Whyem15:
They know what to do, they are not just doing it.

Whoever is in charge of logistics should be jailed for negligence of duty. Don't be surprised is the incident repeats itself.

NAF should resume air interdiction, NA isn't ready to continue with the offensive and there is nothing stopping the terrorists from planning and organizing attacks. No attack on their logistics and so on and we expect them not to pull together 50 guntrucks to attack poorly defended bases.

Niger state can be handled by 8 division though it will be wise to create another division in that angle.

Stop making the overstretched excuse for the army, they can easily recruit 20k people, train them in 6 months or less and deploy them. Get emergency funds for weapons and other things.

The actions of NA are deliberate, 1997 they were in Liberia, 2002 they were in Sierra Leone. 2006 they were still fighting militants in the Niger delta.
I have seen NA deploy in times of crisis. They are not naive to warfare, they are deliberately sabotaging the war.

DubaiLandLord:
Is going to cost us millions of dollars to take care and equip those 20k soldiers you're talking about.

DubaiLandLord:
Why should another division be created again Niger state should be under 1 division or 3 division, let one of those divisions handle Niger state so as not to overstretche 8 division which is even performing woefully in is area of operation.
