This Boko haram war is by no means over

Until Nigeria kills or captures the top commanders or financiers of the sect.

Otherwise, this is just a merry go round.

olapluto:
Is it just me or is anyone else enjoying the cross fire between Shekau and al Barnawi? It gives me confidence that Nigerian intel is deep within BH ranks. I remember a time when Col. SK Usman gave a release about Shekau BGs killing some top members who wanted to abscond. The whole jigsaw is now taking shape.

Also, Shekau has been confirmed to be inside Sambisa still. His days are numbered

Royal Air Force Regiment’s 5 Force Protection Wing Supports NAF in base protection and security
RAF Regiment supports Nigerian Forces in counter – terror training

Nigerian Air Force discussing the plan with RAF Regiment.

Personnel from the Royal Air Force Regiment’s No 5 Force Protection Wing (5 FP Wg) recently returned from Nigeria, where they helped train the Nigerian Air Force to protect its personnel and aircraft involved in counter-insurgency fighting. A team from 5 FP Wg and 51 Squadron RAF Regiment, usually based at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray, deployed to Nigeria to deliver bespoke military training at the request of the British Military Advisory and Training Team (BMATT) in Nigeria

Working with the RAF Force Protection Centre at RAF Honington, 5 FP Wg designed a programme to train 100 newly qualified airmen and 8 officers of the Nigerian Air Force Regiment to defend Nigerian Air Force forward operating bases involved in the fight against insurgent activity in Nigeria. RAF Regiment trainers also mentored their Nigerian counterparts at the Nigerian Air Force Ground Training Centre so that they can replicate the RAF Regiment’s training, and to enhance their own training capability for the future.

Wing Commander John Rees, Officer Commanding 5 FP Wg, led the RAF Regiment’s training team. He said: “We had a great, traditional welcome from the Nigerian staff and Air Force personnel when we arrived at the base. Everyone was very accommodating – helping us to settle in to our facilities and getting the training areas prepared.

“The senior Nigerian Air Force officers were fully committed and supportive of us as we began to deliver this busy and exciting programme of training. As well drawing on our expertise and experiences from recent combat operations to provide this training, we were able to learn from the Nigerian Air Force personnel as they combat terrorist threats.”

Training happened in three phases. During the Foundation training package, RAF Regiment instructors worked to confirm and enhance the Nigerian Air Force Regiment’s life-saving ‘ground-sign awareness skills’. During this phase, Nigerian Air Force Regiment officers were given focused training on planning for force protection operations.

The next phase included minefield extraction training, vehicle and personnel searches and the ability to locate and react to improvised explosive device strikes and indirect fire attacks. RAF Regiment instructors also refreshed their counterparts’ navigation skills and delivered battlefield exercises and training. Nigerian personnel also went through exercises to enhance the ‘soft skills’ needed by Nigerian Air Force Regiment teams working among villages on counter-insurgency operations.

The final phase of training included a physically and mentally demanding four-day exercise, based on all the training the Nigerians had received to date. Wing Commander Rees said: “The exercise was as realistic as we could make it to test and confirm the training we were able to provide to the Nigerian Air Force through the British Military Advisory Training Team.

“We’re grateful for the support provided by the Nigerian Air Force in enabling us to make the most of the short term training task. Our RAF Force Protection instructors have provided a professional and challenging bespoke training package that has drawn on the RAF Regiment’s operational experiences. We have worked closely with the Nigerian Air Force to enhance the counter-insurgency skills needed to combat terrorists that threaten this, and neighboring countries.”

IS appoints new West Africa leader

The so-called Islamic State (IS) jihadist group has announced a new leader for its West African branch, popularly known as Boko Haram.

The latest issue of an IS magazine featured what it called its first interview with Abu Musab al-Barnawi, who replaces the eccentric Abubakar Shekau.

In a video clip released in January 2015, Mr al-Barnawi described himself as the spokesman for Boko Haram. This was before the Nigeria-based jihadist group pledged allegiance to IS.

Now IS says he has replaced Mr Shekau, who has not made a verified appearance in any video since August 2015.

You people have started this america ass kissing again...
Americans that sell weapons to terrorists in syria and terror states like saudi arabia
Yet balk @ selling to nigeria
When will Nigerians learn that america is not their friend
They will hold all these meetings and NOTHING will happen

Adminisher:
I disagree on the Alpha Jet.
We should extend their operation another ten years, get some PGM capability and buy more from German Air force stocks. We have developed world leading core competency on this Aircraft and many European Airforces are still using them. It is the only fast mission time COIN aircraft we have now and wearn have mastered quick accurate targeting with data coming from ISR aircraft. How many African countries do you think can do this now?.
Super Tucanoes can do its own ISR and attack on its own but the aircraft is slower and the weapons on board lighter.

I still don't get how the Nigerian armed forces plan operations.

An ISR surveys and identifies an area of interest with militants

NAF sends air sorties based on actionable intelligence to take out these positions.

BUT.....

How about the follow up??

Shouldn't this be a tri-service operation?

Shouldn't the navy and army cordoned off the area before hand?

Shouldn't special operations teams be dropped into the area to attack residual forces that were not killed in the initial sorties.

Shouldn't those special operations teams also not be canvassing for intelligence for financiers and HVTs.

Hence shouldn't the DSS be involved in this operation as well

It really baffles me how these operations are planned

MEET THE NIGERIAN-AMERICAN DOCTOR WHO IS BUILDING THE LARGEST MEDICAL RESEARCH HUB IN AFRICA

In the past few weeks, an image of a skyscraper located in a rural community in Anambra state called Umuchukwu, in Orumba south local government area, has gone viral. This 15-storey building, which is about 80 percent nearly done, is being built solely by Dr. Godwin Maduka, a billionaire Nigerian-American doctor based in the United States of America.

The edifice, which is expected to be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in medical science, will be the first of its kind in Africa. It will also be used to assist students in clinical training and provide resource materials for lecturers and researchers. According to the Sun newspaper, when the building is done it will also serve as the temporary site for the Anambra state University, College of Medicine.

Godwin Maduka 1
The largest Medical Research Hub in Africa under construction
Meet Dr. Godwin Maduka, the man behind the edifice which is to become Africa’s first medical research hub:

Dr. Godwin Maduka, 56, hails from Umuchukwu (formerly Nkerechi) in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra state.
He received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry in 1984 from Rust College. He gained his Doctor of Pharmacy from Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in 1988. Dr. Godwin Maduka earned his Doctor of Medicine in 1993 from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, where he also completed an internship. Dr. Godwin Maduka completed his residency and post-graduate training at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
He is the Owner/CEO and Medical Director of the Las Vegas Pain Institute & Medical Center, the largest pain treatment center in Nevada.
Dr. Godwin Maduka’s specialties include chronic and acute pain management, anesthesiology, and interventional pain management.
He is also a Clinical Faculty Supervisor of Pain Management/Anesthesiology at Touro University Nevada’s College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He was certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in 1998 and fulfills the role of Medical Doctor for the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners.
Dr. Godwin Maduka is a member of the Nevada State Society of Anesthesiologists, the American Pharmacists Association, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
He is a philanthropist and has transformed Umuchukwu Community in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra state to a modern city. He built over 100 houses for widows and poor in Umuchukwu town. He also built both primary and secondary schools, a medical Centre, a Police Station, churches, community and Civic Centre, village hall, Igwe’s palace, State High Court in his community among others.
“I am living the American dream and I’m doing all I can through philanthropy to help the people where I came from live a better life. It is so small that most everybody there is either related by blood or marriage,” Dr. Godwin Maduka told Las Vegas review Journal at his Henderson branch office.

According Clark County records, Maduka bought seven residential properties in Nevada for more than $7 million and spent nearly $4 million on the two buildings that house the Las Vegas Pain Institute, where he employs 80 people.

To the contrary Oga henry.

I actually think it's very feasible.

We have to start thinking outside the box.

Well-fortified airfield FOB's stationed equi-distant from BHT hotspots with Tucanos, transport helicopters and QRF regiments will serve this purpose well.

This also shortens reaction time for Nigerian army firebases on the country's borders.

The sad loss of life in Niger republic of 30 Nigerien soldiers and 2 Nigerian soldiers could easily have been avoided...

Eyes in the sky with ISR is useful, but at a point, you will require boots on ground for clean up...Shikena

Henry240:
I absolutely love the videos. This means, the photos i earlier shared are from this operation. The Beechraft is doing tight efficient job, and from the ISR video it is obvious the recon pod is from one of the newly installed pods on the new Beechrafts.



I don't think that's feasible, considering the distance and target importance. A well directed strike from a fighter jet and follow-on confirmation from a loitering ISR asset is substantial.


I just can't wait for NAF JF-17s to come in, my hope is they come with "Targeting Pods" for better more precise boko decimation.

Nice strikes
BUT, i wonder why the Nigeria armed forces don't follow these raids up with massive helicopter borne QRF troop insertions and interdiction
For HVT capture and for Intelligence mining....

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE STRIKE ON BOKO HARAM LOGISTICS/COMMUNICATIONS HUB

The Nigerian Air Force on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 launched airstrikes on Boko Haram camps in the Northern part of Borno State, according to a statement.

“The air component of Operation Lafiya Dole recorded another major success Wednesday in its air campaign against the Boko Haram Terrorists as 2 x F-7Ni fighter aircraft struck a terrorists’ location at Northern Borno,” the air force’s spokesperson, Ayodele Famuyiwa said in a statement, e-mailed to The Trent on Thursday, July 7, 2016 said.

“The location lies between Tumbum Rego and Malkonory and is about 25km from Kangarwa where own surface forces are currently harboured.

“The location, as can be seen from the footage (below), harbours Boko Haram terrorist makeshift structures and about 4-6 clusters of solar panels which are used by the Terrorists to power communications equipment and for lighting.

“The latest strike is part of the air operations conducted by the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, in support of the efforts by own surface forces and the Multi National Joint Task Force to rid the northern part of Borno of the remnants Boko Haram terrorists in an operation codenamed Operation Gama Aiki.

“The location, prior to the strike, had been under surveillance for sometimes but was reported active by a NAF Beechcraft aircraft on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission. Thereafter, the fighter aircraft were immediately scrambled for interdiction.

“The success of this operation is another major setback for the Boko Haram terrorists even as the NAF intensifies air operations in the Northeast against the insurgents.

“More so, it is instructive to note that the mission yesterday was conducted by crew amid the Salah celebration.

“This brings to fore the commitment of NAF personnel towards successfully bringing the hostility in the Northeast to an end within the shortest possible time,” the statement said.

In the short to medium term, it could probably make more work available for african doctor migrants in the U,K.
Because the eastern europeans will need to get visas, write IELTS,PLAB etc
However, in the long term, british economy could tank because it needs the vast market of the EU.
