It was.... I think okay?

We were supposed to finish in the first week, bcus we were among the first to do medicals. But delta states candidates apparently have too many connections, so they didn't know who to disqualify. Our result came out I think 5 days after. Even then some disqualified people returned because of their connections lol

Meanwhile, when we went to afaka for medicals, some Terma 1 and Terma 2 cadets gave us a taste of the doom that awaits us. They gave us jobs and it was only by God's miracle that I didn't end up crying or even fainting bcus I for sure reached my limit. I went bed that day thinking if I can really handle the Brutality of NDA because that was just child's play compared to what awaits to be honest. I saw some Terma one cadets licked their lips on sighting us... Some nodding their heads...... Some looking as though they couldn't just wait to receive us into their domain.

BTW I had a very tough debate with the board yesterday. After everything, the registria asked for my arm and my age. He jotted them down and then before asking me to go. I pray I make it by the grace of God. Amen

Lolz, about the first paragraph, I noticed few people were disqualified this year and the board president(medicals) was going around ensuring everyone was reviewed thrice. I'm not sure it's about only connection.

At Afaka, I wasn't harassed. I'm a tall guy and most of my friends are tall guys too. We walked together and they only stared at us but they couldn't touch or talk to us.

About the board, I answered correctly . The board chairman asked about alot of stuff then I saw dismissed, the Airforce representative called me back, asked about my age and jott some things about me, before I was finally dismissed.

By the grace of God almighty, we'll make it.

Welcome back, how was it?

I don't understand
Man city is playing an improved form of tiki taka. Tecqnique flair and dribbling is needed in football

I personally see this as an excuse by Koeman for his failures in Camp nou.

What do yall think about this?! We all regard tiki-taka as a form of great football

Ah ah, is it the same Musa that they say government are the people placing him in the Super Eagles team?

What about France?!

NTSA:
I don't think the Nigerian problem is lack of equipment there are gaps in intelligence collection .

Nigeria got alot of problems. I keep saying that the Nigerian problem is like a big Iroko tree with branches, a stem and roots. The Nigerian authorities keep cutting the branches and scratching off the barks from the stems. Meanwhile, the solution to the problem is cutting off the roots entirely.

The Nigerian security issues start right from the recruitment process and military depots. Where if you don't have people in top places you can't get admitted or recruited. People are not selected by merit but by "connection" and bribery. People fake their certificates and come here. Alotta people who are recruited are way older than the age limit. The authorities don't care about background checks as far as they get what they want. Only a few makes it by merit.

These makes it possible for moles and fifth-columnists to penetrate the security agencies.

Corruption, mismanagement,illiteracy, religious extremism, tribalism, poor followership and poor leadership are the main roots of the Nigerian problem. Intelligence gathering, equipment and manpower are just the "branches on the tree".

Nigerians are not ready yet to make this place better, maybe till Aso villa gets burnt. The people are uninspiring and still playin with this fire that will lit this gunpowder.

Odunayaw:
This Administration puts up with clownery a lot

I absolve ministers at times because they are but politicians. It's the minister of state and permanent secretaries that deserve no clemency.

Read statements from the Perm Sec. of the Ministry for example. A sack and legal action should be in his hands

Honestly this administration has broken records of mediocrity. I can't fathom why the Comptroller-General of the Correctional centres is even still on his job. No one is even giving instructions and deadlines to effectively control this situation. Everything is just messed up.

Odunayaw:
Na BMPT and SAMs wan replace sense? I've been saying it that the Ministry of Interior is a circus.

Inept ministry

Rauf Aregbesola which is the Minister of Interior who's also responsible for all correctional centres, couldn't even visit the site. He is busy occupied with state and party politics. Was surprised to see the minister of defence there.

Too many incompetent peeps.

RiceProducers:
Believe me the guy suggesting surrender is not normal. He is also un realistic. It has never happened in history that people surrender to others on the basis of perceived military inferiority.
I think he is another Putin admirer who has lost his sense of reality completely.

Ükraine needs to assert its sovereignty. Sovereignty means independence of self determination to join any security arrangement they so wish.

If that is a permanent and immovable red line for Rüssia, then it ıs already out of the domain of debate. The war will go on until the physical limits of both countries are reached.
This is the point of destruction of Russia or a weakening so serious that it loses super power status. Lets not forget that North Korea has nuclear bombs, ICBMs and has also tested hypersonic weapons but is not regarded a super power, so also can Russia have the largest nuclear arsenals and still be irrelevant

Even Poland didn't surrender to NAZI Germany onslaught during the September, 1939 invasion despite being outnumbered and outclassed by the Germans. In fact, alot of Polish pilots participated in the Battle of Britain. Their will wasn't broken.

P.S- Arguing with a Putin "male servant" is like pouring water into a basket. It's pointless. Don't stress, Sir.

samuelgodson:
Is the mig 29 better than the su 27.......

The both planes have both different variants. I'm assuming we're comparing the basic ones. Both planes have different roles. The Mig-29 is more like a medium weight twin-engine multirole aircraft while the Su-27 is an air superiority/Interceptor aircraft. The Su-27 I believe is more maneuverable and efficient than the Mig-29.

The Ethiopian-Eritrean war proved that the Su-27 are really better than the Migs.

That's it in a nutshell!

Nemesis4you:
Let me add a little twist to the vowulence

During 1971 war Pak..... Navy using US/Western origin weapons was decimated by IN using Soviet weapons

During 1971 war in the largest tank battles since WW2 American Patton tanks which were the most advanced of its time, were decimated so much so that where the destroyed Patton tanks were collected it give rise to new place called Pattonnagar , after that US literally junked all its Patton tanks

During same war highly advanced US fighters of that time armed with missiles were held at bay using mix of Soviet and western aircrafts armed with guns only

Well in 2019, Soviet Mig 21 testified to western fighter aircraft superiority:

Jai Hind

Even Mother Russia secretly admires American F/A-18 hornets

Daily Reminder that the Bear tried eating more than it could chew.

Exnavyboy62:
Russia and China have made significant influences, they deserve to be called super power too. Other rising powers are India, France and Turkey. And don't forget you can't be a world power forever. Germany, Japan, and The U.K once had the attributes during the periods of WW1 & 2 but not anymore. So from the recent global events, the days of US being super power might be numbered

No one mentioned being a world power forever. The United Kingdom was the world biggest superpower before the United States. The United States is the lone superpower since the collapse of the USSR. The Peoples Republic of China might attain superpower status by the 2030s but for meanwhile and the present, the United States is still consolidating and holding this title.

Russia, India are all powers. A superpower is different from our normal big powers. The might of the United States is nearly unrivalled across the globe and may be only challenged by China mainly due to its population. No country on the face of the planet have the ability to launch military operations and support them across continents with minimal to medium effects to the economy like the United States.

You should understand that powers have class. Nigeria is a regional power, and also a soft power. Turkey, is a regional power. Russia is a great power but lacks the cultural influence the United States has across the globe. I bet the amount of Hollywood movies you've seen is more than the Russian movies. Almost every one on the planet have watched a Hollywood movie but we can't say that for the Russians.

Being a super power is not just about military and economic power other key things that shape our realities are involved and the United States posses all qualities.

Omofaye99:
You mean if reverse was the case and Russia and it allies back Ukraine against USA, Uncle Sam will get triple bleeped by Ukraine. The USA lost Vietnam war, they were disgraced in Korea war, so tell me how will the USA that have not won any major war better than Russia?

You win and lose wars. Yeah the United States lost the war in Vietnam but we're talking about conventional warfare here. Actually, I started this conversation in response to JOSCOFELIX talking about the United States having never confronted a well-equipped country in warfare like the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Russia also the war in Afghanistan with higher casualties than the Americans could imagine in Afghanistan!

United States won the war in Korea because the aim of achieving the division of Korea was attained. If the United States lost according to your words then the Koreas would had been one single entity.

The United States have been winning wars since the 18th century, I don't understand what you mean by the United States not winning "major wars", are you trynna downgrade American technological and economical genius in the face of different adversaries throughout history?!

Odunayaw:
So you think if it were Russia and CIS states backing Ukraine against only the US, they'd have crushed them by now?

I think you overestimate the US. Iraq was a pariah state. It's not the same situation with Ukraine at all

So you believe in a context where the USSR with the eastern European states back a country which the US invades, the Kremlin will be capable to halt American all out attack?! Do you think Moscow has the monetary, economic, industrial and will power of the United States?!

I'm not actually a western fanboy but American tactics and strategy in conventional warfare trumps the Russians. I understand that it's better to be a good Strategist than a tactician but Russia is poor especially in strategy.

Just look at how poorly guarded their supply lines were from the beginning of the Operation in Ukraine. I've never seen American tanks being blown up like the Russians except in the second world War. This loss in men and materiel by the Russians shows great incompetence by the Russian High command.

Scoutvibe:
420 is the total intake for this year

Wow. I will make the final list by God's grace.

Scoutvibe:

MicrosoftExcel:

They were fair with Medicals this RC
Cos lots of candidates passed medicals
Imagine Ondo State with 55 that faced board

Exactly, Sir. I suspect they wanna carry alotta people this time around. You faced board?

davefurn:
I haven't even said anything yet..... I'm not making assumptions here because the facts on ground and propaganda is too much.... We keep watching, russia going weak or strong, we keep watching..... Putin or zelensky us the comedian, it's their business..... But you need to time down on CNN and BBC and check other sources

Damn, seems you're new on this thread. I'm a neutral person. I even support Moskva alot in my debates. We gotta be truthful. I'm Pro-Nigerian and nothing else.

davefurn:
There's a difference between weakening a nation and no one opposing; you want Russia to just bomb their people anyhow that 1/4 of their citizens are russian speaking and of their ancestry. Russia strength is not of my business; but accept correction. Not just only me have explained it to you; over 4 people now and you're still adamant. Just stick to your beliefs

What do you mean Russia being sympathetic and acting with restraint?! You've been fed with too much Sputnik news. Russia ravaged Syria but still haven't won the war for Assad. Russia is incompetent faced that. So you mean Russia is so sympathetic to Ukraine that they sacrifice their Generals like it's nothing?! Do you have any idea how many Russian Generals, men and materiel lost in this war due to incompetence incompetence tactics and zero consideration of logistics and strategy?! The Russians have completely failed and your excuses only makes Putin look much more silly and clueless. Makes Putin and Kremlin look much more like a clown and circus, and a much more successful comedian than Zelensky.

Stop these Russian excuses.

Flanker:
yes , like the AH-64 D Apache Longbow radar. it's a millimeter wave radar the N-025 Almaz-280 that operates in the Ka-band band and J band , It has a range of about 25 km for a large fixed target such as a bridge, 15 km for a large velicle such as a tactical-ballistic-missile launcher, 10-12 km for an armored fighting vehicle, and 6-8 km for a soft-skin vehicle. Unlike the Longbow radar, the Almaz-280 has both attack and navigation modes .

but there is export versions without this radar , for exemple i havn't seen any pic of an iraqi mi 28 with the N-025 Almaz-280 radar on rotor , wait and see if uganda mi 28 have them

Thanks.

Flanker:
NATO imposed an embargo on Iraq for 13 years before the 2003 war , in 13 years they have not received any modern equipment and even had difficulty maintaining their old equipments , a known strategy of NATO sharks to slaughter medium-sized fish without having too many losses.
and the Iraqis had to face a laaarge coalition of 38 countries, including several neighboring countries, not to mention the iraqi rebels and ethnic armed groups that worked against the Iraqi army during the invasion so it is not the same thing as in Ukraine

But the American troops did 90% of the fighting. The so-called allies like Egypt and Saudi Arabian troops didn't spearhead major offensives like the Americans did. The fact is, the United States would had crushed Ukraine in this context.

Exnavyboy62:
Although it might be devastating for us, North Korea got sanctioned not just by the US alone, but by the West in General and they are doing well than some middle east and African countries. I think Nigeria will do better if it falls in that scenario. We have population advantage

Excuse me, North Korea is doing well??! How?! Nigeria is currently going through a lot. A sanction will only make things much harder and our disintegration faster.

JOSCOFELIX:
oga USA is not the only super power abeg

It actually is. Is there any other I missed? Maybe because it's too insignificant.

JOSCOFELIX:
oga if Russia and China have supported Iraq like they did in Vietnam I bet you USA will run dey same way they ran from Afghanistan. Sadam hussein
Might was stop when USA gave him an arm embargo stopping him from procuring spare part for his aircraft. Majority of saddam hussein aircraft was sanctionable. One thing u you should remember it is not about the number of troop you have it the number of equipment your troop have to fight that determine a war with worldpower. By James mark

Excuse me, our argument is about a well-equipped country. We're not talking about ASYMMETRIC warfare here, we're talking about a conventional warfare against sovereign countries. If I were to go by your analogy, the Soviet Union also messed up big time in Afghanistan.

You're the first person to mention that the US hasn't fought a war like the Russian invasion of Ukraine and I reminded you about Iraq. You Russian fanboys should understand the facts. Stop these excuses for Sadam.

davefurn:
If they were that strong, they would have crushed Afghanistan, and no take 20 yrs...... Just like israel bolstering with us weapons but with no yearly billions of dollars of support from us budget.... What will it make them?....... Just do your research about the persian gulf war. 2003, iraq was already too weak; us already had it tied after the 1991 loss

If Russia was that strong like you imply, then we won't see Ukrainian farmers pulling em tanks around like farm produces.

You keep repeating Iraq was too weak. Aren't you aware that it was the United States that weakened Iraq due to its sanctions?! Is there any other country on earth that has the ability to weaken a country economically like the United States?! My point is the US is responsible for the total collapse of Iraq both militarily and economically.

[quote author=Exnavyboy62 post=114350377][/quote]You haven't heard about CAATSA act?! You wanna be sanctioned?!
