Mercenaries, Military Contractors and the Economics of Warfare by Saifulah(op):
Has anyone noticed the recent increase in clamour for mercenaries by politicians, pop up videos or topics on mercenaries online and all the noice around it.

There is even a video interview of one of the so called mercenary contractor company who in that video claimed the Buhari administration rubbished them after their success in Jonathan's regime. In that interview this particular contractor claimed to be a subcontractor to a contractor (imagine how deep this war economy is).

I might be wrong (and I hope am wrong), but all this recent wrangling (the zabamari massacre and the attendant media coverage/boost) might just be a ploy to water the ground for a huge military contract to this so called private military contractors.

God help us

I just saw a thread on FP that military contractors offer to help Nigeria.
The greatest mistake humanity is making is the privatisation of the ultimate public (state) duty - Warfare

God will help you when terrorists and bandits wipe you out. You guys are busy paying ransom to terrorists while opposing effective military action against them.

Never ever use contractors or mercenaries to fight your war...they are not loyal and have no loyalty.

Mercenaries are more intrested in money than actual war.

Nigerian government can defeat boko haram in 1 month if they want to....the truth is this...Nigerian government is been caged by so called human rights activists and crime against humanity accusations

My brother it's not just the human rights angle, public service in Nigeria and by extension government as a whole is plagued by gross ineptitude, mind boggling corruption and unpardonable lack of patriotism. its sad I tell you.
