haha, my bad guys, there's always a part of me that find these kind of training videos irritating, I mean , really? Was that dude showing Nigerian soldiers how to handle a rifle? How the fvk are these people supposed to respect us when we need them for something so elementary. Sure I'm naive about military matters, won't lie, but still, we've have an army for how many fvking decades now? And this is what they are being trained for? By some foreign soldier? damn. How many times we ever have joint exercise with these people? Without them being in the lead showing our soldiers how to draw map in the sand #don'tkillme. Just irritated
Lol, might wanna tell your woman that one. happens all the time does what for Nigeria? Nothing, so once again, your point was irrelevant. have good one kid
kikuyu1: Son,calm your tittays! That was just a wider perspective to see this ishyt happens all the time.
What are you talking about? I was certain it's been done before, and i don't care where, i was strictly talking about this in application to Nigeria, don't need history lesson, that has nothing to do with what i was talking about As for the person who said Buhari's previous military training is outdated etc, that's just stupid, since when do Presidents decide how a battle is executed? Which military training did Obama have? Angela Merkle? Boris Johnson? Donald Trump? etc None of them are military strategists, that's a job for those in the military, they are the ones who will brief the leaders and provide them with options etc, you know, those advisers. To think Buhari would know all there is to know about modern combat and military tech? lol, don't wait up
kikuyu2: Wayyyyy more common than you'd think! SOP in Vietnam, Rhodesia, South Africa and used in Iraq. Who do you think began blowing up Shiite parades and festivals in 2004?
the way they dress so casually is even funnier, these guys dey wear wrapper and dress, with some slippers and still hard to beat them, haha, priceless. I say they have heart, this is what every citizen in all countries should do, don't just accept an occupation of your land, fight and fight, they can't kill you all, and they can't nuke ya either. regardless of what these guys stand for, the Saudis and it's useless backers have no business being in Yemen
Heard there are over 60,000 Cameroonian refugees flooding into Naija, then another displacement in DRC, Mozambique, Burkinafaso, Darfur etc, the whole darn place is on fire.
Now imagine how many apps are out there being downloaded by unsuspecting masses Tens of millions of people downloading CIA made apps onto their phones, without knowing. These agencies can never be trusted, be it in the US, China, Russia or others, it's now too easy to mine info on people
Syria can't do sh!t against Turkey, they are still struggling with rebels etc, last thing they want is a conflict against Turkey, they will get whopped bad. Unless Russia join them in such fight, and Russia will not, they probably play the middle guy trying to bring both sides to negotiations. Same reason they can't do sh!t with constant Israeli bombardments on their territory . Syria is very weak at the moment
marvin906: I suspect a show down between them and the Syrian army.. buh the Turks are funny given an ultimatum to the Syrian army over land that isn't theirs in the first place
Haha,good to hear, it was just a thought that came to my head randomly lol. But yea, these guys over so many years shouldn't be a mystery to us by now, if we do things right. problem with such thing is leaks, we talk too much
If i were in charge of the military, i would have created another terrorist faction, except this one would comprise of soldiers. Stage fake terror attacks etc, and before you know it, they might get an offer to merge with BH or the other terror group in the region, and after a while, they will know everything there is to know about these terrorists and the whereabouts of their leaders. Won't necessarily yield that result the next day, but in the long run, they might get results Okay so this idea just came to me lol, haven't thought it thru yet. don't kill me.

Thank you @bidexiii @kabe1 @jimi24 @nemisis4u @Shadowprimezone And all those I didn't mention. I plan to hit the 5k before the end of the year....
My greatest fear is this thing showing up in Africa, the fact that we haven't seen one yet, is truly astounding , but the night is still young, just hopeful it won't happen, we aren't ready for this
Me, I'm more concerned about the Trump Govt insisting that Nigeria share data of its citizens with the US govt, only until that's done they will remove the visa ban on Nigeria. What are the security implications of this, it's a very very bad idea
Engineered? something about HIV strain being found or whatever. but i don't believe it was engineered but at the same time, there is a local outbreak in honk kong, from people with no known travel to the mainlaind
Why do they always invite the President to these things? 3 platforms, that's it? man, make it 12 or 24, then we can rejoice better Just saying. Not worth the trip

Didn't i saw what? huh? dude, its simple common sense, you don't shut down all land crossing points because of terrorists. Terrorists will simply find another route in, and those mini states you talk about, trade with border towns within Nigeria, and those people in these areas, their livelihood depends on those trades. Instead of putting more manpower and deploying better tech, they are closing borders. That's what people do when they've ran out of ideas. Think
tsdarkside: didnt you saw the photos....?? your phone is broken or what....??
we should keep riskin our lives because of business....??
look.... nigeria is a nearly 200million people economy.... nigeria realy dont need this neighborin mini states for anything....
I believe that's what i just said, leave open a few legal routes, aka official border crossings", and put more focus on illegal routes into Nigeria
Jimi24: There are designated official ways to carry on business. The problem is for the last 40 years 'business ' in Nigeria had meant criminal activities, economic sabotage and tariff/tax evasion.
You want to close the entire border crossings because we are at war? ha. okay. That tells me we've lost control of things, no need to close the border entirely, create a choke point, if you will, that is have certain designated border posts where people can come in and exit, and check everything they have with them. Illegal entry routes should be the main concern. Creating more hardship for people already suffering will only breed resentment. Desperate people will simply find another way in, to smuggle in their goods etc. So why not create a way for legitimate individuals to carry on with their business
tsdarkside: better the borders stay closed.... forget business for now....
