🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let me try to agree with your figure, and that was in a space of 20 years.


Can you please tell us how many soldiers Russia has lost in last 18 months? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you have any idea about how many Russian tanks Himars roasted?

So what do you think has been holding Ukraine till date? AK-47’s.

Remember, Russia is still struggling in Ukraine as of date, and those military hardware’s you listed has been a torn on their flesh.


Imagine a country losing soldiers more than America lost in 20 years of Afghan war. Shouldn’t that tell you alot?

Are you aware the US lost over 58000 troops in Vietnam and still lost the war? So its not really about the superiority of the weapons.

Mynd44:
Rather have it rot than give those you nudged to war.

The hypocrisy stinks

Well, I think they don't want the technology behind the multi role fighter jet to fall into the hands of the enemy, they'd rather have it rot.

Mynd44:
Why F-16s and not F-22s?

The US is planning to scrap its F-22 fleet anyway. Kuku send them to Ukraine.

F-22 by law, is not to be exported to another country not even their strongest ally - Isreal. Though the F-35 can be exported.

Nigeria military will crush Niger military. It's an insult to even compare the two countries military

Army wey never fit crush a rag tag Book haram, Iswap or even unknown gunmen.

Kenmatt:
I did not go through the detailed article but going by the big story and the Nigeria vs Niger saga which must have prompted this write up, do we really need these men that has grown old in muscle but claim to be rich in experience?

Today's World war has nothing to do with machine guns, AKs, tactics, experiences with out the possession of Missiles, anti- missiles, Weapons of mass destruction, chemicals and devices that can fly very high and travel very far to lunch disasters in enemies abode which Nigeria do not have at the moment.

Those are necessary when you're fighting a conventional war, but Nigeria is fighting an asymmetric war at the moment, the enemy is highly mobile, adopt guerrilla tactics and are missed with the local populace who are meant to be protected. So what is really needed is Intel ( both electronic and human) to distinguish the good guys from the bad and precision strike.

The last rank in Army obtained by merit is Colonel

Lt General, MJ General , General these are all Political position


.

Even Colonel is political, because once you're through with Staff college in Jaji ( Senior Division) you hang Lt- Col, after that any promotion is based on quota system and federal character. I served in 82 Div Enugu and witnessed a peculiar situation where a Lt - Col ( Salihu) was still on that rank whereas his course mates were Cols and Brig Gen. The reason was that, in his state of origin ( Kebbi) they had many generals who were still serving. Unless they retired, they would be no space for him to attain the next rank. So he stagnated on that rank. The Army doesn't want a situation were many Generals would come from a particular area like you had with the Langtang Mafia.

From the body posturing and language she appears to be the dominant partner. The groom looks laid- back and subservient. Omo it looks like na she go de run things for the house oh!

What most applicants are not aware of, is that your fate has been decided even before the interview. The consular officers are usually given quotas. Those quotas are used to determine who gets the visa and who's declined. Secondly, when booking for the appointment, make sure you use genuine supporting documents eg bank statement, transcript etc. If you're using an agent to do the booking ensure that he/she gives you a copy of the completed forms so that you'd be conversant with it. Those applying for B1/B2 visa class ( travel/tourism) stand at an advantage if you have a good travel history. I.e. you've travelled to many western countries or you have a very fat bank balance or proof of funds. If you don't have sufficient travel history ensure that the person sending you the invitation has a good job or is of reputable social standing, good credit, or not a felon. The sure route ( in my opinion) to getting Visa if you're a young person is the F1/F2 student or dependent visa category. It has a high success rate. When applying to schools, pick government owned institutions or Ivy league schools ( Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford etc) Or schools like Louisiana state university, Michigan state or reputable HBCUs ( historically black college and universities) also ensure that you've paid some of the fees . This goes a long way to convince the consular officer that you genuinely intend to come over for schooling. Lastly, most consular officers are trained to look out for inconsistencies. That's why its important to memorize the answers to the questions asked in the form. Once they observe something not in tandem with what you've filled, instantly a red flag goes up. You can be declined based on that, irrespective of whether you have enough supporting evidence/documents or not. That's why its imperative that you're truthful at all times. Applicants are deemed to be a flight risk if they don't have strong country - tie. Eg you're not married, or have a good job/ business or something that will ensure you'll come back to Nigeria if you're given a visa. So in most cases if you don't have a strong country - Tie, there's a high probability you'd be declined. In summary, it's not what you say or don't say that determines whether you're given the visa. The consular officer already knows if he or she is going to give you de visa even before you appear. The interview is mere formality.

Chai, if your Nigerian passport expires better go and look for another country because you are not a Nigerian anymore! If you want to be a Nigerian again, renew your passport!

This people really take us for fools

olaolaking:
Of course you are not intelligent enough to know that some words are not worthy to appear online and must be sensored.

Next time, stop saying what you don't know kid

I won't bother dignifying you with a robust response since you lack the intellect to engage in an intellectual discourse. I would have reeled out Statistics of how many of those jets acquired and names of pilots who became casualties but I see say you're not worth my time or sweat.

JONSYN7154:
Hahaha
My oga you get bad mouth.

No mind that Muntula, he don see where papa de measure prick with pikin?

olaolaking:
You lost count? How many F-7 do we have in total? Lair!

Go and learn how to spell "Liar" correctly, then I'll consider if you're worthy of getting the facts.

That F-7 Jet is a flying coffin, I've lost count on the number of those jets that have crashed since purchase.

Na today?

nighthawk1:
Congratulations sir and appreciate your service to the nation.

My question though is why should an Air Vice Marshall be a defense attache to a country.

That portfolio should not exceed Luetenant or at most Captain.

Isn't AVM too high a rank for that position. Wish him well. He looks like he was a career officer.

Most Defence Attaches are Col or Brig Gen equivalent, it's most likely he got promoted to AVM while he was still a defence attaché.

Bringbackmandat:
If I am the present chief I will retire all the AVMs in Naf.

Why? Do you know how much it cost to train an officer to the rank of an AVM? So because of political expediency, you'll do away with the all the collective experience, skill and expertise at the snap of a finger?

So he was a highlander while at the Academy? Abyssinia rocks.

NOETHNICITY:
It is high time Nigeria’s military officers get to understand that they aren’t bigger, better or superior to any civilian. My understanding is that, when Tinubu first made efforts to appoint Ribadu as NSA the immediate past military chiefs protested, and that was their undoing. In other developed climes the office of the NSA is always headed by people with strong intelligence backgrounds. Not necessarily a military officer. Infact military officers by their training struggle in the field of intelligence. If the senior officers will not respect the decision and appointment of the president, they should all immediately tender their resignation.

I beg to differ to your opinion that military officers struggle in the field of intelligence, each of the various services have their own intelligence arm and they're numerous military officers that have distinguished themselves in the field of Intelligence. Of note is Gen Gusau rtd. The man was so indispensable that the government of Obasanjo, Yardua and GEJ retained his services at different times.

DeLaRue:
It depends on the type of president you're dealing with.

No military chief that wants to continue in his job will refuse to work with Mr Ribabu.

That will amount to insubordination of a decisive and ruthless Commander in Chief like Mr Tinubu.

Any Military chief that tries it is toast.

They would not openly disobey Ribadu, but they would not give him full cooperation or openly set him up to discredit him and make him appear incompetent. For instance, We all witnessed how Gen Burantai, and Air Marshall Sadiq as well Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas treated Gen Moguno (NSA) who was completely sidelined in the day to day affairs of their various services. They procured military hardware and equipment without recourse to the NSA. It got so bad that Moguno had to write that damaging Memo which got leaked to the press. Imagine he wore the uniform like them, he was even their senior, but look at how he was treated! How much more a blinking police man. For those quoting AIG Ismaila Gwarzo, they fail to remember that it was a Military regime, and the office of the NSA didn't have to interface much with the military because that role was covered by the CGS and CDS.

Moblux:
A police officer was NSA to a ruthless military head of state, General Sani Abacha

Please who was the police officer?

Maize247:
Highly merit appointment, very balanced. God bless Tinubu

How is it balanced when there's little or no representation from the South - South and South East?

The Appointment is a bit fair, Most Presidents choose Chief of Army staff from their regions, at least since 1999 it was only Obasanjo that appointed a Benue man - Gen V Malu. The last Yoruba man appointed COAS was Alani Akinrade ( over 40 years ago) So appointing Gen Lagbaja is not a bad call. Secondly, Appointing Ribadu as NSA is not a good call because the Military brass would not defer to a Police officer, we all saw how it went with Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro when he was made Min of State for Defence. His orders were flagrantly flouted with disregard. Ribadu would be treated with disdain or would not receive the full cooperation of the military brass. Another sore note is the appointment of Hadiza Usman ( El - Rufai's girl friend) we all knew how it went down when she held sway at NPA. She is yet to clear the corruption charges levelled against her by Rotimi Amaechi.

sogodihno:
So, na Peter obi win? Person with zero votes in NW and NE.

I am not talking about Peter Obi, in fact Atiku stands a better chance, but am only saying if the election was free and fair would Tinubu have won genuinely?

Confirmedzombie:
Tell Peter obi and his charge and bail lawyers to prove their case and stop talking of highest bidder.


Proving cases of elections in court especially presidential elections are not mere talks.

Some of you compare the governorship petition obi won to this presidential petition.

To be honest obi cannot win this case as his case lacks merit and so much technicalities

I would have dignified you with a robust answer but your monicker makes me think it would be an exercise in futility.

Shantyken:
Lolll, LP 74
U dey go challenge election wey u no win

Talk true, for your conscious unbiased mind you really believe say Tinubu really win the election?

tinsel:
Too early

No be Naija we de?

emekajacobogbon:
With all these evidence and witnesses, will the court make a joke of itself.?

Of course, the court will make a joke of itself. They will not disappoint. Justice has already gone to the highest bidder. Just watch as they will uphold the election of Tinubu. Those Justices don cash out tey tey.

TemplarLandry:
Y'all gotta start trusting Tinubu's discretion.

Which discretion? Whatever happened to putting a square peg in a square hole? Let's call a spade a spade, This reeks of nothing else but Tribalism.

The guy is "Ninja Man" in "Third world cop" movie. Bombaclaat!

The Capital of Pakistan is... ?
