kikuyu1: First of all having a RWS on a light skinned pick up truck is simply ridiculous and not the way to go. You want it on your APC, IFV ,LAV, MRAPS, etc. You really need to have in the NA at least 1500 armoured vehicles ,that are mobile , resilient and fit for purpose. A brand new Type 70 Toyota pick up truck ( soft skinned) military spec, will cost you about $60k . What's the lifecycle of this pick up after being hit a few times by the obligatory AK47 rounds Hard usage ,etc I really do not know. However, I would procure used surplus equipment for a fraction of the cost, which is still relatively new and fit for purpose. For example the M117, which is an MRAP type armoured vehicles. Which the Greeks got for a mere $70k with electronic hydraulic turrets still intact . That means we can fit them with cheaper but still very effective HMG and 40mm Grenade launchers from Ukraine. Then retrofit FLIR and target acquisition software. You are good to go . What do you think will happen to the entire arena of conflict in the North if you immediately commit 1500 armoured MRAP type fighting vehicles. In the first instance , taking out technicals will be routine. It means you go off road and dont follow designated routes or roads. It means you drive at night without lights.You now have stealth with element of surprise. And the complete end of using soft skinned pick up trucks in a battle zone. How much will all this cost a little above $110 million. Which would you rather be in s Toyota pickup or this . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnfeEKOcC-Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUGoxEcjZHg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKdW9YDmVkc 3 Likes

Odunayaw: None of us care for ISWAP propaganda - I hope - but what is the Nigerian military doing? It shouldn't be left to the troops on the ground. Exactly the same problem I have with the SANDF: were it not for Botswana and Lesotho, we'd have no idea what SAMIM is doing in Mozambique. Even more of a responsibility for the Nigerian military to communicate more transparently and effectively, seeing it's fighting on home soil. 7 Likes |

Lurker4Long: I've said this before, the first CASUALTY of war is the TRUTH. I actually don't care for anybody's propaganda but the truth . Citizens have a right to know what is going on, not a politically palatable version that suits the politicians narrative. If we had independent news media given access to these areas of conflict, that would be the minimum requirement. But unfortunately we do not. I don't trust our political player's and leaders . I don't trust our army , the same people who shot sorry murdered defenceless peaceful protestors on live TV. And had the audacity to deny it all. Such institutions cannot be trusted to tell the TRUTH. The media we have is predominantly in the ownerships of the highly positioned political elite. These media houses pander to thier owners not the public interest. Although this is not unique to Nigeria, it's a question of degree. We can not deny that our armed forces will be a reflection of the Nigerian situation and society. So Nepotism, favouritism, Godfatherism , Tribalism , religious discrimination will be alive and kicking. And of course corruption and mediocrity will always be on the menu of our armed forces to different degrees. These components make it very difficult to have a very effective armed forces. The historical Psychologically make up of our armed forces is fraught with in-depth issues of contention. No wonder moral is low. 5 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: Wow, so it seems the manufacturer that offered FGN 1,300 multi function MRAP ISR IFV vehicles was very right with their mix, the pics the procurement staff showed had 25mm and 90mm gun. I am comparing with the Greek story photos you posted. Those 1,300 game changers would have likely ended the open part of war in Nigeria, only suicide bombing will remain for CID, DSS, NSCDC to kill by growing superb intel. 4 Likes

JOSCOFELIX: You are humbly ignorant o You think you know all about all of Nigerian Government, all procurement files, all official documents in all agencies, all activities, all plans in Nigerian civil service? No way. You claim to have special intel but you don't even know publicly available information like Niger State. Very funny. Here is proof of what I said about Niger State where Bandits hold territory now. "Niger Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, confirmed that Boko Haram terrorists have seized a territory in Kaure village in Shiroro Loca Government Area and have hoisted it flag there. Kaure is 2 hours by road to Abuja. According to him, no fewer than 50 communities across the two local government areas have fallen under the Boko Haram control." "The Secretary to the state government, Ahmed Matane, raised the alarn at a press conference in Minna on Tuesday. Mr Matane said armed bandits were aligning with insurgents to indoctrinate residents in some communities in Shiroro Local Government Area." https://www.sunnewsonline.com/boko-haram-takes-over-50-niger-villages-hoists-flag/ I go back to silence and wish you all Happy New year on the forum.

Roan77: Thank you my brother... I don't know how some people think something that happened months and some weeks ago they want it to remain the same. Ok the Governor came out publicly to say there are terrorist in some communities in his state and some people here expect the situation to be the same today, the military is active and the top military brace will look into the governor's statement and then make subsequent deployment of troops to those affected communities.. STOP COMING HERE TO SAY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW The way they say things is as if there is no Government in the contry, so you are telling me since this news came out those communities have not seen security personnel's in their community.. ENEMIES of the STATE always happy to hear BAD news 2 Likes |

MAN1960ii: Here is a December 14th report, today is December 31st. "The Council Chairman of Mashegu, Alh. Alhassan Isah Mazakuka said victims who sustained injury in the attack are receiving treatment. Mazakuka, Adogon Malam, Kulho among other communities in Mashegu LGA have been experiencing series of banditry attacks that have led to the death of many. Just last week, scores were feared dead." You know Niger security situation better than Niger State Governor and Council Chairman reporting series of attacks in present continuous tense if you understand English. Shay you have cleared all Bandits and Insurgents out of Niger State since those 16 days ago. I dont insult anybody, but using English Language not meaning any insults, I say you and him are just fooling yourselves on Niger Banditry while Niger Government officials say you are wrong. I leave you alone, I won't waste my time. Keeping silent is better 2 Likes

bidexiii: We have combatants fighting for thier very lives some have even died. We lack equipment and manpower. Boko , ISWAP and their affiliates are taking over territory we are fighting an existential war on multiple fronts. We have Russian expansionism outside of our external borders . France had very unwisely departed from Mali ( after Russian disinformation campaign) making it a defacto launch pad for the West African sub regions Islamic jihadists. Islamic jihadists have now gone into hitherto very peaceful countries like Ghana Togo, Benin and Cote d'Ivoire and what are we doing. We have major issues our CASUALTY rate is off the scale and we are not winning this war. The country is in its worse state of insecurity since it's birth.
