Srsly? I thought we talked about this!?

We did?. Pls educate me.

iwaeda:
Lekki-Epe Expressway Road is full of holdups.

Because they are expanding my friend. About six low bridges, more lanes and some foot bridges. Open your eyes.

Cheii. Fear don catch me.

This is an idiotic thread. The FG never said Dieziani owned diamond encrusted bras or that the bras seized were worth $12.5m.
Lazy, social media addicted youth without critical faculties merely ran with it after someone posted the news about Dieziani assets marked for auction and the world's most expensive bras as a footnote.
Brains were given to man for a purpose but being wide open on social media to suggestions is a sign of a weak brain

This young man is going to pay. Don't waste sympathy when he starts to pay

Haba why do you keep repeating this misinformation? Type 89 APC has different variants, we don't know the variant NA bought.

Some can only take 12.7mm hits on frontal arc, but only stop AK-47 rifle 7.62mm hits on both sides and rear.

Its best variant that withstand 12.7mm all round is only comfortable if Bandit or ISWAP fires DShK from long distance, anything closer than 300 feet to that armour will fully penetrate and kill all our soldiers inside your magical Type 89 APC that you are praising like its the perfect equipment for Nigerian Army to succeed

Abeg our teacher please no teach us nonsense oooo ,

Soldiers don't stay inside APCs to fight. Why are you building a structure on your ignorance. It is a transport vehicle into battle and there are other vehicles designed to cover APCs.
You need to think up the reality of the scenario where Boko Haram gun trucks fire 12.75mm at 300m.

Lamasta:
Our God is a wonderful God Ole is doing well he is correcting his mistakes.....We the true United fans are with him

Ole is a thoroughly bad manager. What were Fred and Maguire doing in that line up? . Maguire lost steam in 50th minute. Fred is still leaking tackles and would have gotten a red card

BABANGBALI:
Boys pls don’t safe him

Yes Ole should still go.

Maguire is the only weak link. Fred is finding his play now they allow him to play more forward.
Wan Bisaka has become a star
Cavani understands the entire field end to end. He should be captain
Maguire is not in a good mental place

buckeyemedia:
It is a lie, I thought Olu Falae was going to win the election, which right thinking Nigerian will vote for that demon Obasanjo, even his own people did not vote for him, jargon manipulation business of pdp.

Of course Falae won that elections.
There was supposed to be demonstrations but unfortunately the SE. Conservative, money loving SE spoilt everything. They are paying a heavy price for money, money and more money.
Falae would have done a neat restructuring of the federal system then. Now if anyone comes near me with true federalism, I will insult you. People must pay hell for their perfidy. I am even hoping Buhari does third term

Pius will sleep in the office

Stormtrooper11:
Exactly. The fv101, fv103 and fv107 are already good platforms if utilized appropriately and properly.
For people clamouring for IFVs, i tell you what, those IFVs ain't gonna win you this war in no time. That's a misperception of things on ground. We got a whole lotta Vickers mk. 3 MBTs and T 55s prior to the purchase of T 72m1 and VT4 tanks. Those older MBTs would've ended this war quickly if they were utilized appropriately. We all saw what Late. Lt-Col Abu Ali did with the 272 tank battalion's T 72s. It takes determination and commitment to the cause, to win a war of attrition.

Five STAR comment. Very good points. Thank you

Silly ex this, ex that.
Buhari did not listen to you, not the people.
When did you ever listen to the people when you were in Aso Rock?

Whyem15:
There are about 500 operational vehicles, including guntrucks at NPF force headquarters.

Is this from Beegeagles story on Twitter?

Stormtrooper11:
Sir, you believe RWS are useless on an MBT platform too?

RWSs are required on MBTs and IFVs. There are battle scenarios where they come useful BUT plss this video game attitude to combat realities must stop.
When you use your imagination to conjure up battle scenarios, you will find they probably won't be used 80% of the time on MBTs and IFVs for firing the 30mms and 12.7mm. I am not talking of the MBT main guns

Stormtrooper11:
Same here �. I'm suprised he is saying soldiers don't what it. He doesn't know how it feels like to pop your head out of the hatch in the heat of battle.

How many soldiers stay inside an APC during combat?. Do you even know what APCs are for?. Do you know why they are different from IFVs / AFVs?

youghs:
I believe this will help you

This is nonsense. I know what RWS is. Soldiers don't want it in most countries. RWS are good as stand alone, unmanned guard emplacements. Part of electronic fencing.
Maybe when autonomous robots start getting deployed, the systems would find widespread adoption.

Rhozabeth:
I still wonder why we buy everything we need from china!

We don't

Nigeria should set up a Ministry of Energy and close up the Ministry of Power.

We should set annual targets for carbon neutrality and we should be reporting annually.

First step all gas fueled power plants should be retrofitted for carbon capture. We can tap grants for that. No need to spend own money.

Remove Okada and Keke from the roads completely. Grants exist for that, easily done.

Retrofits for Dangote Refinery and FG owned refinery carbon capture. Cheap loans exist.

FG should roll out subsidized home solar power solutions.

youghs:
Army procurement can be annoying sometimes.
Why buy an IFV just to fit 12.7mm on it like WTF

It is not an IFV. You lied calling it an IFV and then wondered why it does not have a 30mm. This APC will be used in convoy with IFVs and Tank destroyers

youghs:
What do you mean by RWS/RCWS are useless?

What's the use case for RWS/RCWS? - the ability to hide somewhere in the vehicle or in another vehicle and shoot?

If you think 'soldiers' want this then rethink. Maybe it's only justification is trying to bring choppers down when the enemy is a conventional force

keep2silent:
Mate, I cant blame you for being optimistic o, abi wetin man pikin go do now?

But sha in 2015 NA used 43 tokunbo T-72 tanks to recapture like 60 towns in 8 weeks what 136 new Vickers tanks cannot do in a whole year, night vision n RPG resistant made big difference, gave us victory in 2015.

Yes IFV of hull n belly STANAG 4, RPG cage, is nearly indestructible to Naija Bandits, BHT, ISWAP, such IFV is d real game changer.

Type 89 IFV uses low-cost RCWS 25mm with cheap IR night vision as China makes it specially very cheaply affordable, easy to use, effective power, thats why poor armies Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, etc rushed to buy it plenty.

But why waste effort to fix RPG cage on APC that its sides and rear can only resist ordinary AK-47 rifle?

No mind our Naija Army n MoD big men joor, they dont care for best choice Cheapest may not solve problem as our 10 years war now turn to nationwide insecurity. NA needs equipment thats able to bring us final solution not just plenty of ineffective cheapest vehicles in market
°

Final solution?. What does this mean exactly. I think we got the best equipment for the threat level and threat nature.
We don't want think skin vehicles
We want to be able to storm defences in all terrains
We want decent fire support whilst disembarking
This solution fits everything.

Nobody uses this mechanized infantry tool without IFVs, a few light tanks and even some eye in the skies providing back up.

RWS/RCWS are near useless and expensive to own. Nobody has actually talked about use case, operatability and reliability in the whole fog of was situation.

The only thing missing in this solution is an active protection system APS like GL5 but the MBTS and IFVs in convoy would have that and there are just too many other sensors active during an offensive to destroy any hostile with RPG or RCL quickly

In the US there would be about ten different ways this man could have dodged the payment. Not Chins

Sahara Reporters is just good for half educated Nigerian young people. The story headline suggested a near crashlanding whereas the body was hinting at either a fault detect on the instrument panel before a take off or a routine maintenance stop.

komekn:
Ignorance is bliss.

What knowledge, capacity and experiential capacity do we have that exceeds and or is comparable to the British armed forces.

Lets not comment like we are talking about our favorite football teams.

When it comes to the Navy, Nigeria will sit and the British Navy will teach. Five centuries of knowledge and experience is no joke. A navy that projected power to build an empire equal to 3/4 of the known world

Maxymilliano:
Our media'houses are more proactive and intelligent than government security agencies.

What stops the Defense HQ from deploying one of the tuscano fighter jets to the identified location and flush out the bandits ?

What stops you from understanding that the government already knew this before the newspaper carried it and are doing things about it?.
If this newspaper knows, everybody knows.

youghs:
Yeah we've had similar incidents like that a couple of time in borno

The entire design of the vehicle is around sacrificing the body of the vehicle to save the people inside. So there are impact absorbers and crumple zones. If you ever see a modern vehicle with extensively deformed body at an accident location, know that the a lot of the passengers must have come out without injuries

jpphilips:
I hope they don't end up in the back of a hilux, the essence of having specialized groups is to fund, train & equip them better, 5,000 men is not a lot to provide for in terms of protected mobility, automated precision fire power, NVGs, world class training, CAS and specialized riffles.

This may be the idea behind establishing them, however, at the implementation stage, a corrupt goat will water down their capabilities to mere boys scout then we come here to wail.
Nigeria is cursed with the quality of people in it, how can God assemble loads of inefficient people in one geo location?

Yeah. How could God do that?. It is not fair

Iyiataata92:
FFK just landed in APC and is already attacking someone that has been a member for years.
He should just tread carefully else the official bandits in Aso Rock remember him for the wrong reasons

Gumi is not a member of APC

What of justice for the people killed due to their illegal agitations?

Meks21:
Sacking ole is not the solution to manutd problems... Truth be told manutd players are currently not playing well especially the defense. Manutd loss to liverpool is as a result to poor defensive display from maguire and shaw... Is ole the cause of maguire mistakes?? So sacking ole is not the solution, if you like bring Oracle to coach utd. Some utd fans would not like this, but they gat to stick with ole. From the words of ole "we have come this far to give up now".

Yes Ole is the cause. Ole should not have played Maguire and Lindelof. They are both out of Form. Lindelof is weak. He should not have played the formation he played with a lazy Fred and McTominay.
Every amateur pundit or coach knows Man U weaknesses and Ole is doing nothing about them because he can't.
He is just a company man. A process guy who cannot see into human capacity.
