Rwanda Military doing excellent work deporting these white colonisers who have been looting Africa dry.
They should be "dashing' them one bullet for leg each as souvenir as they fly back to their country..
They would never extend the same mercy to Black Africans.
Africans hate themselves more that they hate these white demons.
Africa needs to learn to stop being merciful to these muzungus.

This olodo CDS just open mouth dey talk nonsense.
When the boat has already long since sailed.

What he should be concentrating on us begging Togo, Benin and Ghana not to join AES.

Ghana and Benin and Togo are competing for who will lock down the access to the seaport for the 3 AES countries with consequent billions of dollars in taxes.

[/b]Nigeria’s CDS urges Niger, others to rescind decisions to quit ECOWAS[b]

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, has urged the Republics of Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali to rescind their decisions to quit the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Musa made the appeal in a remarks at the 5th Lake Chad Governors’ Forum on Wednesday in Maiduguri.
He urged them to rescind their decision to quit the regional body in spite of the Jan. 29, exit deadline.
“We urge our brothers in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso to remain part of ECOWAS.
“We must not allow political differences to divide us. The strength of Africa lies in our unity and cooperation.
“Our collective efforts to address regional security challenges, such as terrorism, insurgency, and climate change, are critical to our shared prosperity.” he said.
the CDS said maintaining regional cooperation was vital for the stability of the Lake Chad Basin, a region severely affected by violent extremism and other security challenges.
According to him, the crucial role of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) is not to be overemphasised, saying there was need for continued support for its operations in addressing cross-border security issues.
“We stand united in our mission to rebuild and stabilise the Lake Chad region. It is essential that we continue to work together, with all stakeholders, to ensure lasting peace and development.
“We must not allow political rifts to derail the progress we have made. The stakes are too high for our people,” he said.
The CDS acknowledged the significant sacrifices made by the armed forces and other security agencies in the region and called for more support from both national governments and international partners to further strengthen the stabilisation efforts.
He also underscored the importance of a balanced approach, combining both kinetic and non-kinetic actions to achieve sustainable peace.
“Challenges will always come, but we shall prevail. Together, we will overcome them. The people of the Lake Chad Basin have shown remarkable resilience, and with continued unity, we will achieve lasting peace and prosperity,” he said.

The-week-long 5th Lake Chad Governors’ Forum, is expected to provide platform for further discussions on regional security, the return of displaced persons, and the implementation of the stabilisation strategy in the affected areas.

The forum, which brings together regional leaders and stakeholders, focuses on promoting peace, stability, and sustainable development in the Lake Chad Basin.

It is so strange....
What are thousands of white mercenaries doing in the DRC other than looting precious minerals?
I don't support Rwanda military activity in the
DRC but something stinks down there.
To be fair, Rwanda have been very professional with their M23 Proxy militia.

No outright slaughter of innocents so far. And a professional set up with the infiltration of their army followed closely by their Police with dogs etc

It is estimated that around 800 Romanians are active within the DRC, hired by the government to maintain security[b]

Lol... E pain am.
Well thankfully, Bidexiii's forum does not belong to your father.

Go back to your African military post where u censor every truthful fact.

Odunayaw:
I already know the quality of conversation will be low when a fellow keeps singing "rusted AK" like a broken record.

Get off my mentions let me discuss with those who know what they are saying

Lol...See these clowns..

Weakening and exposing your arguments even more with your lame a$$ pictures with rusted AK.

Odunayaw:
Why didn't you post these for example. Both recent pics?

Because it doesn't suit what you are saying?

Thank you bidexiii for being factually accurate.

This is why I don't even argue with those fan boys on African military anymore - tojuwest and odunayaw. They take every valid criticism of the military like pulling teeth.

Look at how u countered them logically.

Imagine someone talking about aesthetics being the obsession

Even the DRC has gumboots and tarpaulin and rain gear for their troops during rainy season. This is not hidden, and is not exclusive to special forces. U just need to google or go to Warhammer site to appreciate this.
Have u seen thise Nigerian troops during northern harmattan ?

From communications to primary weapons , secondary weapons and support weapons, MRAPS and artillery. It's as clear as day.

DRC is even 3 times the size of Nigeria. With a 10th of the budget.

They are complaining of DRC loosing equipment. Ludicrous!!!
It's so comical that they can't turn the mirror on themselves. Nigeria military has practically lost every piece of equipment from jets, helicopters, MRAPS, artillery pieces, tanks to FOBs.

Just review the defensive frailties of a typical FOB of the Nigerian military. Same weakness leading to them being overun again and again.
What exactly do they teach at these training schools from depot, NDA, command and staff colleges. TRADOC is suspect.

They don't understand that constructive criticism is a way for the armed forces to improve.

bidexiii:
Those guys carry basic equipment & quality gear, compared to our present SOF in various theatre.

Miss those days when DHQSOF where kicking BHT ass, I don't know why the NA/DHQ authority can't maintain standard of equipping at least for SOF.

You can check @hammersofwar & @congotask for more photos of this guys.

DRC Military
How is it possible for the DRC hierarchy to optimally equip their army while Nigeria is stuck with AK47 as primary weapons?
While CDS keeps moaning about access to weapons.
I don't understand.

Is there any particular reason the anglophone countries like Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Uganda & Ghana cannot organize regular military war games and counterinsurgency exchanges between them
I see Kenya has a dedicated simulation area it regularly trains with U.K troops.
What is the drawback?

NTSA:
KDF introduced a cutting-edge military training system, Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES), to hone the combat skills of soldiers & units, & derive the best value from live training

Toju west, liar like your drug dealer president Tinubu.

Are u kidding me
Does the Nigerian Army learn anything at all?
The same useless mistakes over and over again.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
If you can't protect or re-enforce an FOB; why open one in the 1st place??
Where is fire support, where is drone overwatch, HUMINT/SIGINT- intelligence and reconnaisance, where is QRF, Airforce tucanos and helicopters?
15 YEARS into an insurgency. Same elementary errors.
SMH... incompetence all round.
Now you've lost both men and equipment.

God punish that thief, drug dealer and CIA stooge called Tinubu.

Once you die in active service, it is no longer a private family matter. Even retired military men are given military burial.

tutudesz:
It all depends on the family. if they feel it to remind private, there is nothing we can do. Even in America, family can seal the autopsy results of their love ones.

Why must it be kept secret?. To who's benefit??
This mentality is typically African and is of no benefit.
Systems abroad allow for autopsies and definition of cause of death.
This allows for identification of problems and correction of systems, policy and SOPPs.
If a foreign country assassinated your COAS, of what benefit is it keeping it secret?
Even Israel, USA,HAMAS, Islamic Jihad and Iran admit when they lose high profile personnel and explain the exact cause.
The reason is to short circuit any rumours that can undermine the government.

This is not an excuse.

Nigeria spent billions, lost thousands of men, stayed for decades in countries despite broken contracts and agreements from your south Africa, DRC, Mozambique, Liberia, Sierra leone, Mali, Sudan, still received insults from those they went to help.

South africa ran away with it's tail between it's legs.

All this yapping doesn't mean crap.

The only thing south africa is good at is xenophobia and a$$-kissing their Boer thieving oppressors.

However, i support an independent WHITE country of Orania, Klopfontein & the cape area.

Lurker4Long:
No, we can't. SADC allowed the mission to lapse for 2 reasons:
1) it was woefully under-funded;
2) the Mozambicans didn't fulfill the signed agreement. They did nothing to address the socio-economic grievances that led to the insurgency, preferring to focus only on a military solution. Even with that, they were not doing basic things like beefing up presence in areas that SAMIM had cleared of ISIS.
It's a sovereign country; they best know what they want.

I thought the government said they already spent 1 billion dollars for 24 M-346 Jets??

So why spend another 600millon for 6 jets and miscellaneous?

LCH HAL
This helicopter excels in diverse environments, including high-altitude and jungle settings, and is effective against slow-moving aircraft and remotely piloted vehicles (Image: HAL Website)
Nigeria is poised to make a significant leap in its military capabilities by becoming the first nation to purchase four Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) through a soft credit arrangement. This development marks a milestone in international defence partnerships and highlights Nigeria’s commitment to enhancing its aerial defence capabilities.

Financial Express Online has reported previously officers from the Nigerian Army have completed their training on HAL’s Dhruv helicopters at the Rotary Wing Academy. This training has been pivotal in preparing them for the advanced LCH. “The discussions between HAL and Nigerian officials are nearing completion, with an agreement expected to be finalized shortly,” confirmed sources in the defence and security establishment. The growing momentum in these negotiations reflects both HAL’s strategic outreach and the Nigerian government’s initiatives to secure advanced defence technology.

The LCH, a variant of the Advanced Light Helicopter Dhruv, boasts an array of advanced features including stealth technology, armoured protection systems, and crash-worthy landing gear. These attributes are designed to enhance the helicopter’s survivability in combat scenarios. It offers impressive agility, manoeuvrability, and an extended operational range, making it suitable for various roles such as combat search and rescue (CSAR), destruction of enemy air defences (DEAD), and counter-insurgency operations.

This helicopter excels in diverse environments, including high-altitude and jungle settings, and is effective against slow-moving aircraft and remotely piloted vehicles. Its design integrates state-of-the-art technologies that include a glass cockpit and composite airframe, reflecting a commitment to indigenous innovation and modern combat needs.

Nigeria is looking for twin engine attack helicopters, interested in LCH
A



short article insertThe Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Army have already integrated LCHs into their fleets, with plans to acquire additional units in the future. Ongoing collaborations with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and HAL aim to enhance the helicopter’s weaponry and operational capabilities. The LCH has undergone rigorous testing in varied conditions, including at sea level, in desert regions, and in the harsh environment of Siachen. It was officially declared ready for production in February 2020.

The Nigerian Army’s interest in acquiring LCHs aligns with its broader strategy to bolster its firepower and counterterrorism capabilities. The country is seeking approximately 12 twin-engine attack helicopters to support its military operations. Nigeria has evaluated several global manufacturers, including HAL, Airbus, and Turkey’s TAI.

Among the contenders, HAL’s LCH stands out for its versatility and proven performance. TAI’s T-129 ATAK helicopter, powered by LHTEC T800-4A turboshaft engines, and Airbus’s Tiger HAD, a multi-role attack helicopter designed for various combat scenarios, are also under consideration. Each of these options offers distinct advantages, reflecting the competitive nature of the global defence market.

In addition to procuring new helicopters, HAL is committed to supporting the Nigerian Army through training programs. As Nigeria moves forward with its helicopter acquisition and training programs, it demonstrates a clear strategy to strengthen its defence capabilities and enhance its military effectiveness in the face of evolving security challenges.

You get energy to dey argue with these people.
It's not worth it. They will see dog and call it a cat.
Leave them to rot in their own intransigence.
Every sane person knows that the corrupt military has been incapable of handling the 13 year insurgency. It has spread from the NE to the NW with jihadists taking over the kainji national park and dams.
Let the cowards at DSS and Nigerian army keep pursuing shadows with ipob and nnamdi Kanu. The next step is for the jihadists to raid aso rock.

Floky215:
Nothing is my own..truth is nothing would change on the ground as long as things continue the way it is now..!!

As long as the military don't go killing people any how in the east there won't be a reactionary attack on them or have you quickly forgotten so fast how the killing of the military started in the east...what about boko haram? All by the same foolish act of the military.

Playing the colonial handbook they thought they can force everyone to a stand till by pointing rifles at them but unfortunately those they are pointing rifles at also got their hands on same rifles...the rest is story today..!!!

Simple fact..!!

God help the military to save the country..!!

I have never ever heard of FEDERAL HOUSING UNITS being built in the south east in the last 60 years....
Can someone tell me if I'm inaccurate with evidence please.

After 15 years of counterinsurgency, is it that difficult to provide a staging area and airlift flatboats, speedboats , logistics and MRAPS to these chaps in the field?

Bunch of crooks

Isn't that why you have UAV and surveillance assets in the air??. Backed up with Tucanos and J17s?
Artillery firesupport directed by the UAV to support the QRF going in.

And military support from a nearby base for the QRF.

This is inside Nigeria we are talking about. NO BANDIT or terrorist should have confidence in operating in Nigeria with all these assets Nigerian has.

I really don't think Nigeria has taken on board a lot of counter insurgency improvements in 14 years of war.

bidexiii:
Yeah you're right, my own take will be some areas are too dangerous for QRF to comb. And of recent we've seen strike like these where troops where at the scene immediately after the air strike.

This was a good UAV strike followed by exploitation of the area for intelligence.

I think this second bit is lacking in Nigerian armed forces counter insurgency strategy.

Eg the strike on mandara mountains. no QRF team with DIA officers were helicoptered into the area for exploitation and data mining.

At least useful intelligence for next strike can be gathered, even from the wounded remnants of rhe strike.

In Igbo tradition, he still has right to the main house of your grandfather.
Focus on yourself or your own father's properties.
I myself spent almost 30years dragging property , I even had wills & deeds but just because of bad uncles, corrupt judges and slow court systems it took a long time to sort out.
In the end I got the properties but I believe I spent more money over the years than what the properties are worth.
