why can't we ask for help ? What's special about this Country. Seems you are still drowned in the past glory. Haven't we be assisted by Cameroon, chad before. So wtf are you talking about . if youve passed the age .I'm sure you have siblings , or relatives .

Which African country are we gonna ask for help from With the look of things, only Egypt and Algeria can be invited to Nigeria
Nigerians, especially the ones in the Southern parts would scream Islamization. Lol. Funny country.
The biggest mistake we would do is to invite the Americans or any other Big world Power. They would prolong this damn war. The truth is, nobody understands this war like us. Nobody understands the technicalities of our insecurity like us, the Nigerians.

How long are we gonna wait or make politicians see the need to fund the military especially the Army? Exploring other options shouldn't be out of the table, it's a matter of national security. It is useless recruiting/training thousands into the military w/o plan to properly cater for their welfare and equipments. The edge Israel have over Arab nations is nothing but cutting edge technology and equipments not really numbers though if we have both it would be excellent.
I won't be surprised if we later get to hear that the Brig.Gen that was KIA was going for that reinforcement in a convoy of Toyota Hilux.

Sir, you're an old member in this thread. Personally, I respect your views on issues. You and I know that hundreds of ideas had been dropped on this thread by different members over the years on how best we can solve the Nigerian insecurity issue. I remember we lost a Colonel last year in an ambush. He was in a guntruck.
Nigeria as it is today is not serious to tackle this issues. The politicians are jokers. No amount of foreign troops can stabilize this country for us, the way we want. It is best we come together to solve this problem.
Some politicians know the right thing to do,others are totally clueless. Recently, President Buhari was in Paris seeking for investors. Some North West governors were with him . Is it your bandits infested communities you would bring investors to
That says it all. We aren't ready to solve this problem. Most of these issues are caused by government negligence and sponsors in the government itself. The terrorism situation in Nigeria has never been religious. It is politically influenced. Everything is politics.

giles14:
so they would embezzle $9.5bln,noooo

Let them kill or weaken corruption first b4 they begin spending such large amount of money.

You see. This is exactly what I meant when I said the Nigerian problem is interwoven.

Lack of education and illiteracy causes insurgency and terrorism.
We deploy troops to secure the country. Troops are Ill-equipped because of corruption. Corruption thrives because of weak laws and poor judicial system. We've poor judges and judiciary because of law standards of living and poor training and ethics. We've poor standards of living because of Bad economy and detrimental policies.

That's how the Nigerian problem is. It's is in a deep rot. In a cycle.

It's very clear our military needs help but some idiotic self deluding fellows keep decieving themselves. They think calling for assistance means calling the Military useless, even the US with all its resources would hardly go into any war w/o alliance(s) talkmore of Nigeria that is still struggling to consistently spend $1bn yearly solely for procurements/upgrades. Is it not 2 weeks ago COAS was complaining bitterly about the slashing of army's budget yet we shouldn't seek for help anywhere we could. Even soldiers on ground will tell you they will welcome the idea of getting reinforcement from regional blocs even if it means them holding the fort along border towns.
As for the ewures shouting that we only amplify bad news, so we should keep quiet when soldiers die because they're not human beings with families. In the US death or casualties of noncommissioned- soldiers can bring a gov't down talkmore of an army General but in Nigeria we should hush it all up and amplify BHT casualties as if the lives of those renegades equates to that of soldiers. We should keep quiet and not shout so that gov't will see the need to fund the military as it should putting in mind that we are literally the mouth piece of these soldiers as they can't speak for themselves.
Well!!! The cycle continues..

If truly our troops need help, i do think we might require an American base or British base, in fact Chinese base. Then we ruin and become another Afghanistan.

I do remember Buhari telling AFRICOM to bring a base in Nigeria/West Africa. Maybe he's already buying this idea.

In my honest opinion, the Nigerian armed forces requires TOTAL reorganisation. I do watch budget defenses by different MDAs in the National Assembly. Those lawmakers don't really know what's happening except for a few.
Nigeria does not need foreign intervention. We all know the solution to our problems. Is not like we've tried all local solutions and failed. It's that, we aren't even trying to solve the issue. The Nigerian problem is interwoven between all sectors. A failure of a sector, affects the other.

The Nigerian Armed forces need more funding. 10 billion dollars a year would change the course of this war because each element of the military would be made better. We need to Reorganize our Paramilitary. Many civil defence peeps don't know their purpose.

Civil war was a conventional war

The Nigerian Civil War, was largely a conventional war but in many cases and different theatres of the war, the rebel Biafran Army employed guerilla tactics to slow down Federal Army advance.
In Owerri, Port-harcourt, Onitsha and Enugu. Guerilla tactics were employed. I know this because I studied pattern of attack by the Biafran S brigade which was under the Command of Biafran, Colonel - Timothy Onuwatuegwu and also the Commandos, under Colonel Rolf Steiner and Taffy Williams.

Guerilla attacks were launched at Enugu in order to disrupt Mig 15 and Mig 17 operating from the Enugu Airport. Guerrilla attacks were launched in the Calabar sector too to disrupt Nigerian Army supply lines. In the long war of attrition in the Abagana/Onitsha Sector, Biafran rebel troops under Colonel Achuzie employed the most "unorthodox" forms of battle against the Federal Army.
There are a lot more.

Odunayaw:
How many days before this one goes into the ground

He's just a deputy. Let's say within 30 days

Toju200:
He'll die

A painful death...

RiceProducers:
We don't need HESCO bags.

Actually, we do.

I no understand this kind press release abi ISWAP/BHT are now in possession of Fighter aircrafts? As stated in the last sentence of the second paragraph.
Obviously that press release was don in a hurry we need to do better with our media game na this kind info propagandist and co go grab use am trend hashtags.

A New press release has been made. This one was probably made in a hurry

The new Norinco VT5 light tanks is a very reliable and versatile platform. Considering that the Nigerian Army has a bromance with Norinco, this might be a suitable platform to replace the FV101 scorpion light tanks.

DubaiLandLord1:
Nah wah o

It seems ISWAP and Boko Haram still get most of their weapons from the Nigerian military.

It has always been that way. We always gift Bokoharam and ISWAP our stocks and commanders go unpunished. I don't know what's happening right now in Nigeria. I don't know what's happening with our doctrine right now. Maybe because I haven't read much books about this war yet.

Back then, in the Civil War, let's say we lost a Saladin or Ferret to the Biafran rebels, the Federal Army would launch a counterattack in the space of 48 hours to recover the vehicle. High command always ordered troops to capture their weapons back at all cost. Dead or Alive. In many instances, the Federal Army launched counters within 2 hours.
Seems we don't have balls anymore. Damn.

A Nigerian Mixed Albino Twins celebrating their birthday, had left many Nigerians suprised and stunned. While a twin looks like a Nigerian Negro, the other is an Albino. This rare occurrence and condition is largely unknown in this part of the world.
Nigeria have a large population of Albino citizens. Cultural beliefs and practices over the years, had hindered the development of the Albino community in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa at large. Albinos had passed through discrimination, physical, mental abuse and death over the years because of their skin colour.

A woman, who was at the hospital to undergo medical check ups for COVID-19, discovered she had HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis and other underlying ailments.

The Californian, who posted the news on her handle, was quoted to be "grateful",regardless of the other results and ailments.

Her post was received with different comments and responses. Some tweets suggested it was a fake result, while others urged her to seek medical redress immediately.

ISIS has appointed former Minister of defence of ISWAP, Mallam Bakho Gorgoree as the new deputy Amir of ISWAP.

Please what's a "Dragon Combat"?? Saw it in the NA press release. Any idea bout it??

Whyem15:
Ordinary barbed wires and machine gun nest will significantly blunt the terrorists attacks.

Negative. Hesco bags over barbed wires all day. Even in the counter attack at bonny Island, 1967, barbed wires were extremely detrimental.
Barbed wires in Metele, Borno led to the death of numerous of our troops. A truck go stuck in the barbed wire and blocked the passage of troops and vehicles leading to the death of good men.
We need Hesco bags not pure barbed wires.

Osimhen already seeing Tuesday's results

Okoye has been brilliant

Ighalo no go miss that shot

Fake offside calls

Nice and accurate passes by the Nigerian team

Is Ndidi scared to tackle Is he scared to fall?? He's too calm tho

Penalty

Balogun and Ekong just repeated the same mistake that gave CAR a goal in Lagos. We were just lucky. See Collins error too.

TheLoneCitizen:
I know it's an head head injury. But the way Osimhen went down like he was shot, is an aspect of his game I don't like.

5 mins, no shots

Exactly. He falls so much for a player who plays in the Serie A.

Osimhen

Wow. They changed the goal keeper.

A man was spotted in an unusual fashion manner, in Atlanta, Georgia. The picture was shared by a Twitter user, whom came across the said man in traffic.
