He gave them information about Sunday Igboho I can honestly say that.

Flanker:
Yes , according to media at that time , they received from china in 2020 a batch of 17 vehicles without specifying each model

From sipri : from china 2020

- 3 SH-2 122mm Self-propelled gun
- 2 SH-5 105mm Self-propelled gun
- 6 VT-4 Tanks
- 6 ZTL-09 AFSV

= 17

I'm sure if the vt4 shows that its good for their needs , they will purchase more

The insecurity issues Nigeria faces today is due to decay in security architecture for a very long time, it made the central government week, the effect started showing with the Niger-delta militants, other hyenas sensed the weekness and started attacking, the bokoharam insurgency last this long is part of the reasons why we are starting to see a new insurgency in the northwest and Southeast. It will get worse before it gets better but with sustained efforts, everything will soon be history. We started getting it wrong when we didn't finance the military for several years, allowing well trained mobile police officers to serve as bodyguards to rich and powerful people. The mopol of the early 2000s would have comfortably dealt with many of the crisis we have today, but they've been reduced to bodyguards. Today, the police force doesn't have any plan of taking over from the military in the places the military has managed to stabilize so the military can be free to move to other Hotspots which has led to the military being tied down in many places. Many settlements in Southern Borno, adamawa and yobe states shouldn't even have military garrisons by now so the military can focus on northern Borno and the lake Chad Islands, we've even seen civil militias being more effective than the police force.


No amount of weapons bought for the military will stop terrorists/criminals from attacking soft targets, only effective policing will stop that. The police force need to be in the rural areas too, not only in the cities and towns.
In many occasions, we've seen reports of terrorists hoisting flags in settlements in other parts of Northern Nigeria other than the northwest, these are done by very weak groups and individuals and only possible because there is no one to stop them.
If we are not careful, twenty years time the military will still be in supercamps in the northeast(I'm not even sure they have a time line of operation). The military needs to rest and rebuild, they need time to reflect and learn from the war of the northeast to better prepare them for another potential insurgency.

Virtually no one even focus on weapons procurement for the police, they recently got a share from the northeast extra budgetary allocation given to the military,till now nothing has been heard of their plans for the money.

Why would you want to prevent an oncoming revolution?

You mind sharing your source?

Yak-130A . Algerian AF

Other countries with oil are still investing in refineries. Thank God they're not African nations else some people would insult their forefathers.

NewDelhi:
The way some of you reason ehn. And you think Nigeria is a country that will easily adopt green energy? Or will even consider adopting it? A country where majority of the elites have oil blocks to their name? Infact I'll tell you dangote is a very smart business man. He knows most African countries and other third world countries won't be able to maintain it, the cost of producing green energy is cheaper but it's maintenance is more expensive in the long run. We've not even solved the issue of household electricity , you're talking of green energy to millions of auto mobiles. His refinery will be a major hub of fossil fuel in Africa, Asia and south America. Stop deceiving yourselves about green energy in Nigeria. The elites will never let that happen . What will happen to their oil blocks? Lol.. wake up.

Omooba77:
I pray this project is not abandoned. If FG is wise, invest in modular refineries as being done in Saudi and other saner clime..

onuman:
octaganerian and sick Tinubu- the best man to rule you?
Don’t wish for others the bad you wish for yourself.

SW has refused the use of rotation in the south because it’s the turn of the Igbo to preside over Nigeria, but SW is asking north to consider rotation so that southern president shall succeed PMB, that means north shall also refuse the use of rotation for the 2023 presidential election.


Another northerner shall succeed PMB.

illmatic101:
PDP is practically dead you say!

Till 2023 I won't say much.

Sizzorkay:
Wasn't there a story i heard about us paying them with crude?

youghs:
You're talking about ka52. Mi28NE is cheaper than Mi35

SamuelAnyawu:
Soldiers should continue moving in Hilux? If you know the number of Ambushes that has occurred this year only, you’ll weep for a week. 60% of military ambushes are not reported on any media.

Four APC convoy can move with obviously 30 soldiers. We use too many Soldiers on open Hilux so we can scare the enemy.

We better start acquiring APCs/MRAPs for road. Ambush no be moi moi oh. Even the Gunner on the Hilux usually get hit before even trying to understand where the bullets from the enemy is ringing from

bidexiii:
Definitely something good is coming from the delegations visit, all thanks to uncle Sam intimal denial.

jlinkd78:
If Goodluck Jonathan understands that d political class both APC and PDP are not happy with his unassailable credentials which keep soaring day by day as a true Democrat and that his timely phone call to calm nerves at d heat of d 2015 election; if only he knows they will do anything to tarnish that reputation and brand him a typical Nigerian politician without honour and decorum; if only he appreciates the goodwill and mass appeal his calm disposition especially in his words on d marble statement that his political quest is not worth d blood of any Nigerian; if only........then he would distance himself from any political whether selective or elective interest and continue to enjoy his statesmanship status and international figure figure. Back to APC romance, it's all plots to ensure if d presidency comes to d South it will just be for four years and return to the North and GEJ will forever be remembered as d Saboteur-in-Chief against his people if APC Aboki use his head drink this garri

[s]The loans are not up to N200k per head yet. Easily payable.[/s]
You're borrowing without a sustainable means of paying back.
What of reasoning is yours? You probably don't even know anything about lending and borrowing

abhosts:
Nigerians are truly captives that love their chains. A Head Coach leads a football team to woeful failure and your next recourse is to clamour for the appointment of the Assistant Coach that is not ideologically different from Head Coach, to lead the team. Osinbajo is not pro Business or pro Economy and would be no different from his current principal. He is a Tax-and-spend big government proponent; a policy that is disastrous for a poor country like Nigeria(look at Nigeria's ballooning debt profile). If he becomes President, the current nepotism would simply be replaced with RCCG clique.

EmperorTolson:
How can Buhari just be borrowing like this?
Is this man okay at all.
Abi which kind president be this?

Even at this present moment, I'm sure if Buhari contest as the SUG President of my Alma mater, he no go come close to winning.

Maxymilliano:
Since the DSS is aware of the movement, what stops it from thwarting the relocation or is it when the deadly group start attacking the poor people of Southern Kaduna before it start unnecessary eye service

ugo4u:
You're the ignorant person here, and arrogant at your ignorance. Going by your logic one can build groundnut pyramids in Akwa Ibom and spend millions transporting same product from Kano to A.Ibom on bad roads to maintain the pyramids as against building those pyramids in Kano where it's easier to plan for the logistics. You people don't ask questions why private investors don't operate that way only the government.
You're a "Rice producer" indeed.
Ichabod

ugo4u:
It's only in Nigeria you will build an Oil refinery thousands of Kms away from where the crude is drilled and now spend billions to build/maintain pipes to connect the refinery as against building that facility where it will be easier & cost effective to access the crude. All in the name of federal character or sentiments purely to appease or massage the ego of whoever is in charge, and we're wondering why things don't seem to work here.

youghs:
If only Nigeria can develop its own APKWS, it would be a total game changer.

Na wa o...

Are bandits these powerful.

Overrunning a base is a thing that only Boko boys do. This issue is no longer a child's play.
