Even Julius Ceaser did a better Job crossing the Rhine on his way to Gaul in 55BC

The army cant buy decent Rafts?

Boldwinner:
God bless our GALLANT boys. You see, most of you don't know what it takes to be a soldier, to dodge deadly flying bullets and to be in the direct line of fire. It takes courage and serious discipline. These guys do their best to combat terrorism while missing some of their loved ones.
It's NOT EASY. You're online with your laptop/mobile browsing and typing freely. These guys might be somewhere in a thick forest trying to pitch a tent while being alert for any sudden invasion. They hardly sleep.. just rest.
May God bless our soldiers and keep them safe in the face of war.

DonBobes:
Ds is an old pix, happened late in 2014 durin d tym of dis lake chad crossing. bt y is d pix jst bn dsplayed nw.

EreluY:
You call it gallantry, I describe it as primitiveness in the face of modernity.

OBAGADAFFI:
It's not normal.

That Raft is too weak and small for that job.

If the enemy opens fire on them they won't have anywhere to hide.

On RPG they are gone,

Any collision with rocks they are gone

yomalex:
They're supposed to use Amphibous

Its not just logs of wood. Its called a PONTOON BOAT. Now you've learnt something new

LoveMachine:
Naija soldiers are too real and too raw. Against all odds, hungry, outgunned, and outnumbered they stood tall and now they shall be vindicated. May they slaughter the demons of the sambisa.

Missy89:
are you saying they have decent rafts now?

Biafrarep:
What is this one saying? Nigerian soldiers hungry? Are they not being paid their salary?? Outgunned & outnumbered by who? boko haram?? You must be joking exceedingly! How can the so called giant of Africa, a country of over 150 million people be outgunned & outnumbered by a rag-tag milltia in an obscure part of the same country?? Have you heard of al shabaab in Somalia? Al Shabaab is by far more experienced, richer, well motivated, heavily armed, have access to ports etc yet the Ethiopian army with the support of Kenya, were able to rout them within a limited time frame! Stop celebrating mediocrity, NA are a bunch of gutless indisciplined barbarian cowards. The Chadians, Nigeriens, Camerounians & even Benoinese army all know this fact!!!

You should quit posting because you are out of your depths on this subject.

OBAGADAFFI:
Mr ITK tell u how that Raft is safe for our soldiers.

ehissi:
There is no wisdom in your comment whatsoever!! This is why nobody will offer you scholarship to join the armed forces! You buy the form yourself!!

Even if Dasuki stole nothing, this is still how they will still cross the river; so don't be petty!! When Obasanjo led 3 Marine Commando's in the civil war, you think he was using Amphibious truck?? Na still the same Pako!!

All of those fancy equipment you see, used by Military forces of developed countries, that make people under - rate our military - because we don't use them - cost big bucks!! The entire Nigerian Budget isn't enough to properly kit every Nigerian soldier, this is why even so-called developed countries ramp up heavy debt, just to float a military in their opinion that they can trust!!

This is why, developing the military is a long-term plan, done in phases and is capital intensive!!

Think about it, most people will say Dasuki stole $2.1billion or mismanaged the said amount!! But even that money isn't enough to buy one standard Land-Mine resistant Armoured tank!! With the level of Mistrust that Nigerians have for our political leaders, if Chief of defence submit budget proposal to buy 12 Land Mine Resistant tanks for #14.4Trillion, no be the same una go call am thief??

In any case, any smart student of Political History or War studies will let you know that the kind weapons/equipment you have are not anywhere near important as the strategy with which you intend to use them!!

The most important thing is that they are moving forward; that's what Nigeria troops are known for!!

This is why we are respected when we lead peacekeeping tour in Africa; we get the Job done, at almost low cost, because we apply strategy!! This is why till today, countries like the US still enquire for our brief on Peacekeeping OPS led by Nigeria!!

So don't be bothered by the image; it doesn't matter how we get there! The most important thing is that we get there and we get the result we want - and the result we are seeking is desirable, Chikenan!!!
