what we need are chinook ch47s, about 30 of them, with a stand by armed helicopter escort about 20 of them (mi35)and those super tucano(, they are really valuable).....all tasked towards quick reaction and as blocking force, leapfrogging around bht.....but if they do this, how would the policymakers get money to loot?

Seems BH/ISWAP is really after Borno North, out of 10 local government areas,only Monguno has any coherent military presence, the rest have been deserted. Places like Abadam,Marte,Kukawa and so on have zero military presence and little civilian presence. Infact, even Borno South isn't safe(look at Bama). To the extent that in some places, residents have to pay taxes to BH, according to reports.

Something drastic needs to be done. It all boils down to the Lake Chad corridor where these people ferry smuggled weapons through; if what it would take to stop this catastrophic flow of ammunitions is an all out invasion of Chad and annexation of the Hadjer lamis-massakory region, I think we should start considering it.

This is getting serious, we need to restrategize and like Ugo said, increase the quota for recruits. We desperately need to control that Lake Chad region, beef up intelligence,and avoid incessant losses of arms to these people. From what I have observed so far from reports and all, it seems these BH guys are well versed in the art of ambushes; they will send a contingent to attack a military base and while the attack is ongoing, another contingent is lying in wait fo the inevitable back-up to come to the aid of the distressed soldiers(maybe from a neighboring military formation), they then proceed to bombard the rescue team, loot arms, kill soldiers and join their colleagues in finishing off the soldiers at the base. They have been employing this unholy tactic for a while now. To imagine that some people are still dreaming of those disgraceful crop-dusters that aren't landing until 2022.

If they completely overrun Born North and Borno Central(which they are about to succeed in doing), stealing our weapons and getting huge reinforcement of arms through the LC corridor, then a major offensive to capture Maiduguri is inevitable.

Baba Buratai needs to be sacked abeg, clearly, the man has lost initiative. Is this how all our gallant men will die finish at the hands of BH?. Not long ago, we lost so many soldiers in one fell swoop that the entire theatre command of Operations Lafiya Dole had to be restructured.

Martin Luther go really like you
this one na serious "I have a dream " level

Tobiloba2407:
how is it a dream, we can get chinooks if we want, we can order more mi35m, pending the arrival we can lease from from Russia.....I'm sure with the right diplomacy, we can get a couple of super tucanos within 6 months, its not f22 , it's a turbo prop, we can end this war if we want to, a lot of people are just becoming rich from it, and Buhari is using it, to keep the generals busy, i think he still has a phobia for coup.

Why will BHT waste logistics smuggling weapons through the Chadian corridor when they can walk into any base to get anything they want?

EVarn:
Because despite the amount of arms they capture from us, they end up losing 60%-70% of it to aerial bombardments. So in operational terms, it is not just the weapons they steal from the military that is sustaining them.

It's all a strategy. Stealing the weapons and forcing the Airforce to locate and destroy them is a ploy to not only beef up their own armoury, but also deprive the army of critical arms and dampen the morale of soldiers.

The Elbarnawi faction receives a lot of weapons through that LC corridor from it's Libyan and Malian allies. These people actually travel out of the country through that route to negotiate arms deals with allies, smugglers and black market profiteers.

SamuelAnyawu:
You have really analysed the reality of the Lake Chad Basin so well. Are you a military personnel? Funny enough i travel from Monguno to Maiduguri every weekend by road just to cool off. The risk ain't easy but wetin poor man go do

Who will sell the Chinook to you? How many African countries operate the Chinook?
Why did you end at the Chinook, you would've asked for the Raptor as well.

EVarn:
I am not a military personnel (though I do believe I will throw my hat in the ring with this ongoing recruitment exercise). But I have a number of acquittances in the military that feed me vague reports of what is going on, combined with what we read and watch in the news everyday, you just need to seive all the information to get the rough picture.

I advice you not to take such risks o...at least,not too frequently. Anyway, something must kill a man. I just hope we get our act together and be serious about winning this war soon. Everyone is tired, including us far away in the south.

Lol o boy it's hopeless..and we have buffoons here posting never ending pictures of Hillux van and insulting anyone complaining about the insane status quo. There is no hope for this country. It's over.

You should be given an award for the most delusional Nigerian that ever lived. All you do is post the same stupid picture day in day out. The entire north East corridor is on fire..You are still posting Toyota 4x4 and Twitter Press release. SMH.

The event took place at Konkol in Fufore LGA. The high value weapons were arrested by troops of 23 Bde stationed at the Area . [/b]

EVarn:
Guy,what do you want him to do?, Should he commit suicide because the NE is on fire?. Abeg free the man make e post him pictures. At least we can take consolation in the fact that we have gallant men and women giving their best to prosecute this war, let us appreciate them in our own small way by acknowledging their efforts.
