Funny thing is it was printed on the shirt, they got this during their training and should have been given new gear on arrival back to naija...having a flag from Pakistan even though we know we should have trained with the Indians (respect) tells alot about our military.

Sizzorkay:
Even though we know? Why must we train with the Indians? What have they done for Nigeria lately? Just asking
I think Pakistan has more than been there for Nigeria since this boko thing started, didn't hear much about India

We have strong economic ties with India. What economic value is Pakistan (a harbor of terrorists) to Nigeria. India is overall more strategic to Nigeria than Pakistan. We just need to work on our diplomatic strength and we will get the needed military patnership with any country in the world.

They bombed the terrorist location where the aircraft was shot down.

The link also shows when the pilot was in a shootout with the terrorists.

You raised some pertinent issues about Egypt and KSA.
First Trump has cancelled Egypt's military aid since last year so a tit for tat vote from Egypt is expected.
KSA is fighting a full scale war in Yemen, US is looking forward to sustaining that profit so it doesn't matter how KSA votes.
In our own case, we have on the table a one off deal and you think the smartest way to pull it off is voting against the US interest? Does it make any sense?

Fine, we may love Palestine for as long as we have a Sunni practicing CIC, but Boko haram is a priority that torpedoes religious sentiments, it is only the living that practise Islam.
Palestine has absolutely nothing to offer us, it is unwise to prioritize them above the US.

I took a day to respond to your comments because I believe your comments were and are in good faith.
Here is where you get it wrong.
Nigeria has history of going against apartheid regimes, Israel for lack of a better phrase is turning from a right wing regime into an Apartheid one.This is a personal opinion from someone who has actually admired Israel for a long time.
Israel and Nigeria have extensive diplomatic, agricultural and Military ties.
Military ties started during the Yaradua era, here is where you get it wrong religion has nothing to do with it.
The Shaldags were bought and paid for.
As recently as 2016 Military Instructors from Israel were training NAF special Forces .Buhari did not cancel the contract nor did the CAS ..
Training is based on capabilities.
Some of Nigeria's secret services still use the Uzis.
Nigeria wants the A29 and America wants to sell it to them and at $500million , One vote is not going to change that
Also put it in the perspective of it is only one procurement.Over the next 4-5Years, the NAF will make several procurements irrespective of how Nigeria votes and judging on the work done by the Israeli Military Private group and the ovation received they will be back too.
Lastly the last official statement on the deal by the US after the vote by Nigeria was the Ambassador and the CAS signing the Contract.

The shekah faction I guess.

The recent helicopter crash that was burnt was by his men, and ever since the ground troops and airforce has been trailing is movements and activities.

The popular camp Zairo was been controlled by him and is men.

“Military authorities have revealed that the Nigerian army has completely defeated Boko Haram insurgents in the country.

The Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Rogers Nicholas said this on Saturday during the inauguration of the Nigeria-Cameroon military joint mission in Maiduguri, Borno State capital.

According to General Nicholas, troops under the operation “Deep Punch II” had on Friday dislodged the insurgents for their tactical ground “Camp Zairo.”

“My soldiers are in the heart of Boko Haram enclave that is Camp Zairo. The gallant troops have taken total control of Sambisa forest. We have broken the heart and soul of Shekau’s group, taking over the camp and its environs.

“They are on the run and we are pursuing them to wherever they go. This time around there is no place for escape anywhere,” he said.”

I'm so sure that attack must have cost N.A some men, saw this on friend's timeline,he's a captain and I think he lost some friends or men.

He is a Flight Lieutenant and the loss wasn't connected to the crashsite attack.

Would have made sense if we had that too.

I have seen pictures of Caucasian men,
I think this is a plausible explanation, under the auspices of the MJNTF and the G5 to which France and Nigeria are signatories.This is what is taking place.There are French as well as US Soldiers in Niger.I don't want to muddy the picture but both have personnel in Niger.
