And that oga always coming with yeye analysis everyday please keep quiet e don do, una no dey let us read again , people just dey scroll and pass. Better info go just come and go......

I leave You to heal and get well in peace brother... Stay safe and be good...

ugo4u:
I said it is the best within its class e.g AR15, Tavor21, M16 etc

I understand Sir, I get ur point already... But I'm not convinced it's better than M16... As far as I'm concerned, it's a Win-Win comparative analysis

ugo4u:
It's the best weapon in its class.

Civilian General Sir, I refuse to Agree with this 100%... It's no argument that it's one of the 2 most Popular Assault Rifle in the World and ONE OF THE BEST...

As far as I'm Concerned, its disadvantages Aren't Forgivable.....
(1) Its Accuracy is very poor and highly unsatisfactory at a Distance more than 400m
(2) It's heavy.. Has an approximate weight of 4.8kg with a Loaded 30-round Magazine
(3) Its shooting Velocity ain't that spectacular (Approximately 700m/s)... M16 for example has a value of 900m/s

WHICH AMONG THE ADVANCED COUNTRIES IS USING AK-47 AS THE OFFICIAL ASSAULT RIFLE FOR THEIR ARMED FORCES?? Even Russia sef where it originates from, their soldiers currently carry the AK-74M assault rifle.

....

Specification comparism

Can you just look at this AK47 that I thought was shit!!! Kai

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ42vtzEuxA

AK-47 Bullet Resistance Helmet Developed by a Major in the Indian Army that works fine at a distance of 10meters... That's Y I keep saying it, RESEARCH WILL FOREVER BE THE BEDROCK OF ANY FORM OF ADVANCEMENT, BE IT TECH-WISE, ADMINISTRATIVE OR LEADERSHIP-WISE.. At least for him to have bn Successful with the 10m distance limit, Definitely in a Matter of Some time Now, Necessary Modifications will be Introduced to Further Increase the Allowable Distance

Its quite Pathetic that As far as the Nigerian Army is concerned, they Now see EZUGWU MRAP as One special Unique Invention, something that both ARA AND ARA-2 MRAP (BUILT TO MEET GLOBAL ANTI-BALLISTIC MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS STANDARD WITH INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION) IS ALREADY BEEN PRODUCED IN NUMBERS BY PROFORCE AND ALREADY IN USE BY THE NIGERIAN ARMY SINCE 2018-2019. Now this is my question::

WHAT ARE THE SPECIFICATION SUPERIORITY EZUGWU MRAP HAS OVER ARA-2 MRAP ALREADY BEEN PRODUCED IN NUMBERS BY PROFORCE TO QUALIFY ITS PRODUCTION AS A SPECIAL ONE??

This is One Area where I Salute Research Enthusiasts, U CAN'T just Present ANYTHING for them and Not Receive heart-shattering Criticism... ALL IS WELL

pes2019:
Can u help ask estimated time frame for the whole process. Thanks

Training is 6 Months and Location, Lagos, Kano or Imo state depends on the Cadre U applied for... As for when the Shortlist for Screening-Exam will be Out, Nah Only the Ogas go fit tell U that

Oladeligt:
The most dreaded Major Umar Dagga. I heard he became an officer through EC. Don't know how true it is though.

explosiveskull:
Please who knows the whereabouts of one captain dagga that trains regular intakes then?

sikowitz17:
like this would matter anymore... people that were trained for it are dying

Lol.. U right on that though... And Maybe U might av to Read up some Basic Terrorists Fighting Tips and Counterinsurgency Hacks online to equip ursef as a DSSC officer per chance dem call U up to march to the frontline...

What do I know... Lol

Arisukuni:
this Brig Gen that is tall and slim like this, I think he was the only one star General on ground then, he is dark, he has small head like this

Cheers!

BossMan, which kind description be this Nah..Lol

pes2019:
The exam too na scam, after you have been screened, then exam.... Start praying oo, baba God ná my connect.

Pls when exactly is the screening / exam tin, this month or?, pls estimate tnx

I doubt if anyone apart from the Ogas at the Headquarters will have an answer to Ur question Brother... Let's just be Optimistic

Ibks100:
Amen
I don dey dream of seeing myself in Immigration uniform sef ���

Since the word of the Lord has made it clear that ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU... So Just Pray Fervently Abiut It and Put ur Utmost Reliance and Hope in HIM, We Shall Surely hear A GOOD NEWS

Blueelf:
Also, the Mseries are very expensive and harder to maintain...you need special oils to even clean them unlike the AK 47

The AK-47 also has a longer range...only disadvantage is the recoil, so it isn't as accurate as the M series weapons

(1) THE AK-47 IS MORE USER FRIENDLY, EASIER TO MAINTAIN AND DOESN'T JAM

The AK-47 is an easily operated rifle and it is perfectly suitable for poorly trained or untrained recruits.

The M16 is a different story. It’s design and technology make M-16 a more modern and more advanced weapon than AK-47 but works best in the hands of a well-trained soldier, not really easy to use and maintain as AK-47 and therefore it’s not suitable for recruits and poorly trained soldiers.

(2) THE M16 HAS A DECISIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS RANGE.

The AK-47 assault rifle is chambered in 7.62 mm caliber. Its maximum effective range is limited up to 400 meters. In fact, this weapon is not really meant to shoot at a range of more than 200 meters.  Beyond that, it will hardly hit anything.

The M16 weighs half as much with the full magazine than the AK-47. It is because the rifle is chambered with a slimmer 5.56 mm bullet. This bullet travels really fast. As a result, the M16 is more has a longer range and is more accurate than AK-47. Because of that, the M16 has a maximum effective range of 400-500 meters.

(3) THE M16 HAS AN ADVANTAGE IN CALIBER WHICH MAKES IT A MORE ACCURATE WEAPON, BOTH IN SEMI-AUTO AND FULL-AUTO MODE.

When it comes to accuracy, the M16 is a much more accurate weapon than the AK-47. M16 has less recoil and it is a much smoother-operating weapon which means it can be easier controlled during full-auto fire. The recoil of the M16 moves the weapon very little due to its internal design and the 5.56 mm caliber. Also, its buttstock is lined up with the barrel. This feature additionally reduces the muzzle climb.

On the other hand, the AK-47 is much heavier and poorly balanced with a more powerful cartridge. Because of its internal mechanism, the AK-47 recoil is slightly out of the center. Furthermore, internal mechanisms of the AK-47 assault rifle are essentially big chunks of metal that move violently after each shot. Also, this weapon has a traditional position of the buttstock (depends on version, fixed or foldable buttstock). All of these features combined cause muzzle climb after each shot. It makes the AK-47 very inaccurate during full-auto fire.

(4) THE AK-47 IS SUPERIOR IN TERMS OF PENETRATION.

The AK-47 uses a 7.62mm round with a heavier bullet. It’s a bullet that is slower and less accurate. But its share power is indisputable. This weapon is superior in terms of penetration and stopping power.

On the other hand, the M16 uses a lighter 5.56 mm round. It has a slimmer bullet that travels faster. However, the punch of the M16 is not that strong, but as it is mentioned it is faster, more accurate and with better range.

(5) THE M16 IS A LIGHTER WEAPON.

As the US Military required a lightweight weapon, the low weight of the M16 was the driving emphasis of the whole design. The M16 benefits from lightweight materials in its construction. Also, it uses lighter rounds. As a result, the M16 can weigh around 30% less than the AK-47. It is more comfortable to carry around and the shooter can carry more of its ammunition. So lighter weapon is better, especially if you are the guy that has to carry it. It is estimated that if a user of AK-47 carries on 6 mags, the operator with M16 can have 10 mags.

On the other hand, the AK-47 uses little weight saving methods.

(6) THE AK-47 IS A MORE DURABLE WEAPON

The AK-47 is an enduring weapon with a robust design. It can take any misuses that soldier can throw at it. If the battle moves into hand-to-hand combat you can really smack your enemy with the AK-47s buttstock.

On the other hand, a fiberglass buttstock of the M16 is not durable as a wooden buttstock of the AK-47. So low overall weight of the weapon was a trade-off at this point.

(7) THE AK-47 IS A MORE RELIABLE WEAPON

The AK-47 has a malfunction rate of 1 per 1 000 rounds fired.

The M16 has a malfunction rate of 2 per 1 000 rounds fired.

( THE M16 IS SUPERIOR IN TERMS OF ERGONOMICS.

It seems that ergonomics was the last thing that bothered the developer of the AK-47. This weapon is poorly balanced. Also, its controls are not well thought-off and are stiff to operate. It takes more time to change the magazine on the AK-47 than on the M16.

On the other hand, the M16 was intended with ergonomics in mind. All of its controls are well designed, well-positioned and easily used. Also, it has a built-in carrying handle on the top making it easier to carry. The M16 is considered one of the most ergonomic weapons in the world. In terms of ergonomics, it is superior to the AK-47 in most respects.

(9) THE M16 HAS BETTER SIGHTS AND BETTER ACCURACY.

From the design of the sights, it is clear that the M16 was designed to be more accurate from the very start. The American assault rifle has a little ‘peep’ sight on the back that can be flipped for ‘short’ or ‘long’ range. The front post sight is called ‘bunny ears’. Similar sights are used by Americans since World War II.

Sights of the AK-47 are very crude. It is clearly not as good as that of the M16. It has an adjustable notch on the back that can be set to a range of up to 800 meters. However, it is more of a psychological boost for untrained recruits. In reality, the maximum range of effective fire is limited to 300-400 meters. Beyond that, it will hardly hit anything.

(10) THE AK-47 IS THE MUCH CHEAPER RIFLE TO BUILT THAN THE M16.

Although many variants are available for both the rifles, when comparing the base models, the AK-47 is significantly cheaper than M16. The government price of the AK-47 can range from $150 to $200, depending on manufacturer and contract.

The government price of the M16 was $673 per new unit as of the U.S. Army’s 2012 contract.


OVERALL.....

TO SUM IT UP, BOTH M16 AND AK-47 HAVE THEIR OWN STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. BOTH OF THESE WEAPONS CONTINUE TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. AND BOTH OF THESE WEAPONS REMAIN IN DEMAND. THE M-16 HAS TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY IN 3 KEY AREAS, INCLUDING RANGE, ACCURACY, AND WEIGHT.

THE AK-47 HAS A REMARKABLE ADVANTAGE OF SIMPLE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN CONSTRUCTION. SO, I GUESS IT IS A NO-WIN SITUATION. IT DEPENDS ON THE USER, WHAT HE WILL CHOOSE.

Gentlemen and ladies POP calendars for DSSC 25 are trickling in already and it's a lovely sight to behold.
omo that two stars they make person fine die, if una see as them carry shoulders with pride like say them wear iron shoulder pad you will be impressed. Infact DSSC don dey hungry me, you see that one lonely star SSC dey wear? e no dey balance at all for shoulder

Lol... Chai, so our dear Civilian General Sef No wan experience the 9 months Die-hard training and at the end of the day, hang 1 star for shoulder.... I laugh in Swahili kikikikikiiiikiikkkiiii

AirmanB:
Army with their light vehicle for patrol, it's s suicide mission!

My brother, U don talk am finish... I just dey Imagine aw MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) go burst into flames while Under Gun fire Attack and not even any form of IED ooo... I still Maintain my Stand, All these Yeye APC, ICV wey dey 9JA NE and NW Theatres and frontlines Are Either already Weakened (Old and Outdated) or Are made of Low Quality Materials

May God help us

Parisleo:
He is still saying the same thing na....I don't think there will be massive CBT test....they will just do screening and exams for the 100 to 130 persons selected per state just like the last recruitment.....
Shit.... that makes it very very tight

Exactly my brother... Just to prevent the 2013 Immigration stampede scene from reoccurring.... God no go shame us

Uspic:
So there won't be CBT?

ACCORDING TO THE INFO:::

It Is Screening 1st, then the Exam shall follow... The screening will involve Verifying ur Certificates to be sure U are a qualified Candidate.. Then Once U scale through, U shall be Marched in to the Exam Hall...

After the Exam, the successful applicants will then be shortlisted for Interview in Abuja after which List of Successful Lucky Chaps will be Released and each individual notified of Resumption for Training at Either Lagos, Imo state or Kano, depending on the Cadre U applied for...

It is at the Training that comprehensive medical examination will now be conducted to be sure U are fit enough to scale through the Training... Once U found wanted, then that's AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION and such person will be sent home

Information reaching me this Morning has it that Serious sorting is going on at the Immigration Head Office in Abuja as per Shortlisting for Screening and the same report has it that this year's Shortlisting method will definitely follow suit that of the Last Open Recruitment they did (100 - 130 per state)

For those wey get connect, No dull, start reminding them and No let them Sleep on it coz I learnt it's a Very tight Race this time around...

So for those of us wey No get Connect, this is the High time To Start Praying and Mocing Close to God for his Divine Assistance... Even if You can Fast join, abeg No delay, It surely worth it... I wish U All and Myself Best of Luck

A RESEARCH ARTICLE ON COMBAT EXPOSURE AND PTSD AMONG MILITARY COMBATANTS IN NORTH EAST NIGERIA...

Victory is from God Alone

ugo4u:
I saw different designs all of them are made from Kevlar material, I even saw a design that was made of Kevlar, they settle for Kevlar and other associated materials since they are also effective in stopping fire arms.
.

MOST ANTI-BALLISTIC MATERIALS used in bullet-proof jackets or explosion-proof blankets are MADE OF KEVLAR, TWARON or DYNEEMA FIBERS, which stop bullets from penetrating the surface by SPREADING AND ABSORBING THE IMPACT OF THE BULLET'S FORCE. These products were a significant step forward, but often still result in the target suffering from BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA, SEVERE BRUISING or DAMAGE TO VITAL ORGANS. THIS IS BECAUSE THE FORCE FROM THE BULLET REACHES THE WEARER EVEN WHEN THE BULLET ITSELF IS STOPPED.

AND AS FOR KEVLAR::

(1) Despite being such a Tough Material, it gets broken down and Damaged when exposed to sun having High content of UV Rays and We All know that The Northern Nigeria is a Perfect Example in this Scenario.

(2) Kevlar by itself only makes soft body armor. Other materials such as steel, ceramic and Polyethylene are used to create stronger armor plates that reinforce it.

(3) Kevlar fibers quickly absorb moisture. Although Kevlar is strong and tensile, its ability to cope with compression is fairly poor....

(4) KEVLAR IS COSTLY TO PRODUCE AS WELL.....


ABC-Matrix (A Cheap and Highly dependable Material) that is just as tough as Kevlar is the MOST PREFERRED MATERIAL OF CHOICE the World is turning to NOW. The material, which is waterproof and flame retardant, can withstand 3,000 rounds of fire from an AK-47 rifle.

SIR UGO4U, CAN U NOW SEE WHY KEVLAR ISN'T ACRUALLY THE BEST IDEAL MATERIAL FOR BODY ARMOUR FOR OUR TROOPS AND THIS IS WHERE MY QUESTIONING THE SERIOUSBESS OF SON comes in.....

ugo4u:
The army won't issue a substandard bullet proof vest to their personnel, infact before it leaves the factory it's usually subjected to varying degrees of test and SON have to give their approval before it can used.
I have been opportuned to visit DICON's factory in Kaduna, the guys there are thorough bred professionals made up of ex-servicemen, servicemen and civilians. I saw different designs all of them are made from Kevlar material, I even saw a design that was made of Kevlar, it kind of had a compartment in the chest and ribs region to place titanium sheet. Even a .50cal can't penetrate titanium sheet, because titanium is very expensive that design is not produced enmass, they settle for Kevlar and other associated materials since they are also effective in stopping fire arms.
There is a video on YouTube where the army were testing their ballistic vests and it performed well.

Thanks for the Enlightenment Sir... During my Undergraduate days, we were Made to believe that Any Engineering Manufacturing Industry that wants to Have International Value must be fully approved by ISO... But Since DICON nah FG parole, so such recommendation might be Easily Waved and Ignored..

My initial postulation about them Was coz NO WHERE on their Official Website Was it Written that THEY HAVE ISO CERTIFICATION and As an Engineering Graduate, I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO UNDERMINE AND QUESTION WHATEVER THEY SEEM TO BE PRODUCING THERE, That's Just the Engineering Ethics in the Academics... Anyways My Oga Sir, I'll go check up the Videos as U av Suggested

But U see that SON ehnn, Abeg Just forget am, Those people are Yeye people I dey tell You, They do av Serious Issues with University Professors A Lot Anytime their Paths Cross.. I sabi A Lot of their Shady acts Well well and I tell U, SON no get any meaningful Reputation when it comes to World Valuation Ranking... Place Wey 3 of my classmates go do their 6 months I.T then wey be sey Nah Paper work occupy 90% of their activities

ugo4u:
The truth is distribution of kits is not a problem for the army, I know are personnels are issued these things the problem sometimes is refusal of said troops to put them on especially NCOs.

General Sir, but the question is ARE THE BULLET RESISTANT VESTS AND HELMET OF INTERNATIONALLY CERTIFIED BALLISTIC STANDARD MATERIALS (CEN LEVEL B7/NIJ IV, CEN B6/NIJ III) and MILITARY STANDARDS STANAG 4569 Level 2/2A/2B.)

Truth be told Bro, I doubt it Coz report has it that Larger cache of the Army Bullet resistant Vest are being Manufactured and distributed by DICON, and Unfortunately, DICON no get ISO CERTIFICATION

USE OF UNSUSPICIOUS ANIMALS FOR LANDMINE DETECTION: AFRICAN GIANT POUCHED RATS AS A RELIABLE CANDIDATE

(1) Trained dogs, while commonly used, are EXPENSIVE AND TOUGH TO TRANSPORT. These critters are LIGHT ENOUGH TO WALK OVER THE MINES WITHOUT SETTING THEM OFF, AND USE THEIR NOSES TO FIND THE EXPLOSIVES QUICKLY. They've Also Got an EXTRAORDINARY SENSE OF SMELL

(2) Finding these hidden explosives is challenging and dangerous: PEOPLE WITH METAL DETECTORS NOT ONLY RISK THEIR LIVES, THEY WORK SLOWLY, STOPPING TO INVESTIGATE EVERY SUSPICIOUS PING. 

One African Giant Pouched Rat can search over 2000 square feet (200 square meters) in 20 minutes, an area that could take a human up to four days... Making reference to A 2018 LANDMINE MONITOR REPORT, THESE FURRY SUPER-SNIFFERS HAVE HELPED CLEAR 13,200 MINES FROM MINEFIELDS IN TANZANIA, MOZAMBIQUE, ANGOLA, AND, most RECENTLY , in CAMBODIA.
