Agree without reservation

But it can later be use against our security personnel in this COIN war

What this bullet can do is scary

Justice is all Nigerians are asking for and justice they must get else we wont make any progress as a nation. In this same Endsars protest we saw videos of middle level officers particularly Majors in the army disarm and de-escalate angry mobs w/o firing a single gunshot infact the Major that was in charge of the NYSC camp in kogi literally stopped his soldiers from firing into the crowd that wanted to loot the stuffs made for corpers he appealed to the mob and made them see reasons why they shouldn't steal what belongs to their brothers/sisters that came for service, similar scenario occurred in Osun state were we saw another army Major engage an irate mob and within 10min he deescalated an already tensed atmosphere also not forgetting the Senior NAF officer captured on camera warning police officers to stop firing at the mob so he could engage them. These is to tell you that the military have alot of good men that know the sanctity of human lives and the huge responsibility that comes with wearing the uniform, what makes you a good soldier is the ability to carryout your objectiuve with as minimal casualties as possible infact if you can disarm your enemy w/o firing a shot the better. To those set of officers we will always praise and commend them but you see those bad eggs that perpetrate criminalities we must call them out it doesn't mean we aren't patriotic we all want a sane society not a banana republic were anybody can misbehave because he or she have access to a rifle, virtually everyone can pull a trigger people at the helm of affairs should try as much as possible not to push the citizens to the wall because when all hell breaks lose simultaneously all over the country the resultant effect will be worst than a zombie apocalypse.

GabrielYulaw:
Hi all! Here are my thoughts. But first, where's Bidexii?
Me and him no agree on much, but this na his thread. Did the guy mount a 122mm rocket that was fired to the heavens? Or is he on a hush-hush commando mission? Would love to know.

On a serious note, I'm afraid that regardless of what the EndSars panel said, nothing will change within the NA. No one will be punished, no real reforms will be implemented. And something like this will keep happening again and again.

The NA is dysfunctional for a purpose and making it a fully disciplined and professional fighting force is not something I see happening soon. It's more like a collection of rogues than an army. But I'm really happy to know there are shining lights here and there that are not like the typical Nigerian soldiers/commanders.

You know, we are Nigeria. We suppose be the giant of Africa. When we cough, neighboring countries suppose p1ss themselves in fear. When we blink they suppose cry for their mama.

And what do we have now? Chadian and Cameroonian troops can saunter into our country anytime they want, kill our countrymen and say they were suspected Boko Haram fighters. Governments like Ghana can go on national tv and insult us. Ivorian authorities can confidently frame up a girl for a crime she no commit and get her killed in jail.

We are so massively disrespected on this continent. We are the butt of jokes and it's not even funny. There's only one way we can change this and that's to start living up to our potential.

It will involve modernizing our security agencies, our economy, our way of life and everything else. But is that going to happen? Not at all because the way Nigeria is set up right now is super profitable to the elites. There will be no change. And we will keep being treated like scum across much of Africa.


And there's another thing. EndSars and the Lekki massacre was special. I'm not sure some of you noticed, but there was a very massive and skilled disinformation campaign just after the Lekki massacre.

I have never seen something as skilled happening in this country and I don't think this disinformation campaign was run by Nigerians. And the goal was a simple one- to make us doubt what we saw that night and to provide ammunition for doubters like that Askia guy to come here and say the whole thing was a hoarse.

Who was behind this wide scale deception? Who paid for it? It's important we find out and fast because I fear something like this will be repeated again, perhaps during the 2023 election.


Some of you come here and see me wailing always, criticizing and gnashing my teeth and think I'm just a chronic complainer. That's not true. I love my country. It's beautiful and magnificent.

We can easily rule Africa and we have the brains and resources to make that happen. And it just tears me apart to see the depths we keep sinking to as a people and as a country.

Talk true, is Nigeria a fit place to live and raise children? For me the answer is no and I will keep doing my best to change this and make this a country we all can be proud of.

My apologies for the long epistle.

RiceProducers:

Some of you guys are incapable of thinking.
The NA is increasingly being called into internal security duties because you are a rich beautiful country of corrupt, idiotic and selfish people who cannot engage in politics, sharing of power and business without cheating yourselves.
You also have no love for yourselves and you have a crappy police.
Your police is crap because your all crooks.

Look at you casting aspersions on the Army as if people join the NA to whip people or kill civillians.
If you actually think the above is true, please check yourself into an asylum.

Dastardly armed robberies, inter communuals wars, bank robberies by and other violent crimes was why all states now have NA involved in internal security duties.
Better show some gratitude and respect.
Without them, you guys are so depraved, you will be snatching babies and pounding them... oh sorry, you are actually doing that now.

I think we should seek ammendment to the Army Act and remove IS duties from what the President can call the Army out for.

Out of the depths of the heart � the mouth speaks.

Your words are a reflection of your person in some cases , you are your words.

So if your communication is unguarded, gutter language ,vitriolic and debased , then that's essentially who you are.

I would have advised you get be some manners and be civil, but l think it's going to be waste of time, you are
incorrigible

This report states how the General died, Apparently he didn't die from ISWAP fire.

[b]It added that a “battle could have been lost if a commander is killed.”

The signal read in full, “At about 130915A Nov 21, following attack on troops of115 Task Force Battalion Askira Uba by ISWAP terrorists, troops of 25 Brigade led by Brigade Commander, Brig Gen MF Babayo (N/10211) in conjunction with troops of 28TF Brigade carried out reinforcement to Askira. While on pursuit of the terrorist, troops made contact with the terrorist at Leho Village (N10°42'10.22" E12°50'47.76"wink in Askira LGA.

“During the contact, own MRAP conveying the Brigade Commander deliberately rammed ISWAPs MRAP which led to destruction of ISWAPs MRAP while own MRAP engulfed in fire. However, the Brigade Commander and the MRAP crew were able to get out of the MRAP but the commander had serious chest injury due to the head on collision. Casualties on troops are one soldier and one CJTF WIA while equipment casualties are one x Phantom MRAP, 3 x AA Guns (2 DAMAGED), one x AK47 rifle, 2 x AK 47 Magazine and 60 x 7.62mm (SPECIAL) rounds. Enemy casualties are over 50 terrorists elements (including their commander) were killed. Enemies one x MRAP and 5 x GTs destroyed while tps recovered 3 x GTs, 2 x AA guns, 5 x AK47 rifles, one x HK MG and one x HK MG links were recovered.

“At about 131745A Nov 21, the WIA were evacuated to 7 DMSH for further medical Management. Reinforcement team returned to HQ 25TF Bde Damboa at about 2000hours same day. Please find pictures attached. One of the major elements in battle is the Commander. Commanders of 25TF and 28TF Brigades put up amazing direction of command leading troops into battle.

“Unfortunately, the 25TF Brigade Commander lost his life in the process. It is quite heroic but not to good that commanders are found in the fore front to lead battles. If the command should fall, then troops have not direction or fighting spirit. It is one of the rules of warfare that the battle could have been lost if a commander is killed; hence soldiers could retreat.

“It should be note that ISWAP intends to follow this suit by targeting commanders. Commanders are now eager to motivate and inspire soldiers where moral is low. It is only significant that troops be always encouraged to show professionalism in the face of existing threats to fight without recourse the enemy of the State. Such motivational aspects of military trade craft should be encouraged as well as discipline while the Commanders highly directs and request appropriate from ASA need items and CAS to support the battle. Kindly forwarded for your information.

The Driver of a MRAP carrying a Brigadier General will deliberately Ram into a terrorist MRAP?

Yes. If there was little ammo and they were shooting at his own MRAP.

If ordered by the General, Yes...
