In respect to the debate about recruiting the service of Eben Barlow and his mercenaries that helped stem the tide of Boko Haram's onslaught circa 2015, this book - Mercenary by Colonel Mike Hoare appears to be pertinent. Mad Mike Hoare is acclaimed to be the grand father of modern day mercenaries. He was consulted by Ojukwu and the federal government during the heat of the Biafra war.

In this memoir, he gave a rich historical account of the Congo conflict. The book contains Maps, Battle plans, Military strategies, War notes etc. Most importantly, readers will get insight into the pros and cons of the involvement of mercenaries in internal conflicts. Military history buffs will find this useful.

Here is something on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Rwanda. The book was authored by the Commander of UNAMIR. It examines the historical, political, diplomatic and military dynamics of the Rwanda genocide, and the catastrophic outing of UNAMIR in that unfortunate country

About 200+ was kidnapped during the GEJ era, now under GMB that promised us change more than 300+ were adopted

This is the highest number I have heard since the business of kidnapping started in Nigeria. BuBu holds the terrible record

AskiaHarem:
Where does it say there was a kidnapping? Any visually proof by the way?

BabaOwen:
More than 200+ students were kidnapped in chibok, I told myself there is no way that large number of students will be kidnapped in Nigeria again. But, GMB breaks that record

This is the highest number I have heard since dz business of kidnapping started in Nigeria. BuBu holds the terrible record

BabaOwen:
Where in my post did I say Christians were kidnaped today? They were only chase away from their towns for been Christians

Nobody can fight for Allah.

AskiaHarem:
I know right imagine if a massive terrorist attack took place on AMERICAN SOIL THAT WOULD NEVEEEEEEEER HAPPEN. America is the worlds so superpower after all. If such events where to ever take place I guess the USA would cease being a superpower by this logic.........................................................................

AskiaHarem:
Your entire beginning statement was about kidnapping. You brung up how it was getting worse and immediately slid into the attack despite it having nothing to do with the opening subject. A bait and switch you where trying to lure readers into mentally connecting the two. I couldn't even find anything about the Villages being confirmed burned down only that they where under attack. Your not as sneaky as you think you are bro knock it off that's borderline fraudulence aka fake/exaggerated news.

AHEAD OF A-29 SUPER TUCANO DELIVERY: NAF COMMISSIONS INFRASTRUTURE PROJECTS IN KAINJI

In preparation for the expected arrival of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft from the United States of America by the end of the Second Quarter of 2021, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is leaving no stone unturned in its drive to emplace necessary infrastructure at the NAF Base Kainji, for the seamless induction of the aircraft and subsequent efficient support of its operations. A key milestone in the preparations was attained today, 23 December 2020, with the commissioning of 3 blocks of renovated and remodeled 10 x single-bedroom apartments for Non-Commissioned Officers, 2 blocks of newly-constructed and furnished 110 x single-bedroom Single Officers’ Quarters and 6 newly-constructed three-bedroom Married Officers’ Quarters at the 407 Air Combat Training Group (407 ACTG), Kainji. Also commissioned was a 1.3Km road, to further consolidate the development of critical infrastructure within the Base. The additional projects are also in fulfillment of the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar’s, earlier promise to personnel, to transform the infrastructural outlook on the Kainji Base in order to enhance their professional performance.

The CAS, who was the Guest of Honour at the commissioning ceremony, charged the personnel to strive to meet the expectations of the country at this time of heightened security challenges by protecting the citizenry and critical assets as well as bringing succour to those in despair. He noted that, considering the effort and contribution of personnel of 407 ACTG in projecting Air Power across the Country, a befitting environment to further motivate them towards better output in their endeavours was necessary. “The projects being commissioned today are part of our efforts towards ensuring a befitting environment and better living conditions in Kainji Base. These accommodations and some ongoing ones, will ensure that personnel of the Unit have a conducive environment to retire to on completion of the day’s work”, the CAS said. Air Marshal Abubakar further charged the personnel to do more for the Nation. According to him; “Much as we have sacrificed, let us be propelled by the support and goodwill of all Nigerians to the NAF, to do more for our nation. Our loyalty and service to the nation must always be our motivation”, he charged.

Air Marshal Abubakar stated that the Service would continue to embark on projects that would ensure the comfort and safety of NAF personnel and their families as the Administration remains focused on ensuring that its personnel are proud of being Airmen. He urged the personnel to continue exhibiting high levels of discipline and professionalism in the conduct of their duties. According to him, tremendous resources are being expended daily to improve personnel welfare and motivation and therefore they must do all within their powers to justify this expenditure in the face of current economic challenges.

The CAS noted that the execution of the projects would not have been possible without the unwavering commitment of the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, who, in spite of the current economic realities, continues to provide necessary support to ensure the operational readiness of the Armed Forces of Nigeria. Air Marshal Abubakar reaffirmed the absolute loyalty of NAF personnel to the Nigerian Nation and the sustenance of democratic values in the Country. He also expressed his sincere appreciation to the host community for its support and the peaceful co-existence with the NAF.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commander 407 ACTG, Squadron Leader Gambo Maidawa, expressed profound appreciation to the CAS for according high priority to the provision of adequate infrastructure for enhanced professional performance. He said the conductive residential accommodation for the personnel would translate to increased work drive and heightened morale for the attainment of the NAF’s Mission. The Commander therefore pledged the commitment of personnel of the Unit, who would continue to offer dedicated service while working passionately towards the effective and efficient accomplishment of assigned tasks.

Also present at the event were the Air Officer Commanding Air Training Command (AOC ATC), Air Vice Marshal Musa Mukhtar, as well as Branch Chiefs and Directors from Headquarters NAF. Others that graced the occasion were the Emir of Borgu Kingdom, His Royal Highness, Barrister Muhammad Haliru Dantoro Kitoro IV, as well as the Representative of the Chairman Borgu Local Government Area.

Seems to me that the attitude responsible for Negroid underachievement relative to other races is exhibited in the extraordinary anger one finds in the black world to Nigeria labeling self Giant of Africa.
