E go soon reach ur side wit full force n hopefully wen u cry out, sum1 will speak 4 u

You're either biased or blind to see the truth. Who cares? You stole our money. Call it witch hunt when there is a new adminustration , let them do the same and gradually corrupt leaders will be eliminated in Nigeria.

Bunch of thieves. Show me how their human right was violated.

DSS had an arrest and search warrant. Judges just like any other citizen are not above the law.

You keep on milking our money and you're spilling shit?

If you resist an arrest, full force is authorized.

i am very afraid of what i cant see/know

Haha yes. Pirates don't know that. That moment when NNS andoni looks more dangerous than DDG 1000

jakeporeshenko:
This thing is basically a flying Rolls Royce, leather interior and all of that. Are they going to strip all of that out to make it suitable for combat troops.

Can you confirm which is naf official Instagram account? There are two account in NAF name .

Henry240:
The AW139s have also been transferred.

Obviously there should be some helo left.

Henry240:
Kudos to President Buhari for handing over these assets to the NAF. However with all helicopters now fully owned by the NAF, what helicopters would the President use?

There should still be.

jakeporeshenko:
I didn't doubt you for a second. The whole thing about an AW-139 seeing combat deployment is also very true, a while ago I saw some pictures but I thought it was a VVIP touring frontline position or something.

Can you please post the AW-139 pictures?

Seems PAF is in love with her AW139 instead of the new AW101. AW101 seems to be the best for the NAF tho.

I don't know if it's me but stealth ships look less dangerous with some of their weapons concealed lol.

none of them are police officers, am 100% sure. Some of their directors are retired top police officers though

Then you're wrong. You can confirm well.

africaken254:
can't solve insurgencies and terrorism from groups poorly funded in our continent (just imagine an african country facing well funded insurgent groups like assad is facing.how long would it take before such a state collapses.we can't even maintain simple airframes like MIG-21,most air force in this continent have air crafts rusting on backyards of their air bases

africa is not poor but stupid,incompetent,subservient,non progressive e.t.c problems that can be solved a high school graduate can't be solved even by a university graduate.the rest of the world have transformed their agriculture sector,but we are still starving to death.in the past for every 5 peace keepers in africa only 1 was african. with help from foreign countries now its for 5 peace keepers 2 are from africa. border security is non existence in most of our countries.we can't protect our coastal waters from illegal fishing,let along piracy. proliferation of small arms is serious problem due to porous borders,failed states,civil wars e.t.c

I'll support this.

Is there a published specification detail of NAF GULMA?

Henry240:
I read a report claiming up to 600 killed.

All I need is a report claiming NAF launched an Airstrike capable of pulling such damage on Shekau's skull.

nemesis2u:
what kind of technology would be utilized in a 6 gen fighter / bomber

A few likely technologies

Fly by optics.
Self-repairing skin.
MEMS and nanotechnology.
Shape-memory alloys.
Morphing control surfaces.
Hyper-efficient engines.
Next generation stealth eg. plasma cloaking etc .
Reduced IR signatures.
LASER weapons.
airborne directional EMP generators.
AI based WSO (co-pilot) something like CORTANA from HALO game

PLASMA is the beast however, anti stealth is on the increase compared to stealth technology.

Some of their workers are Police officers but few. However with the way OP is trying to apply, he will be regarded as a civilian worker.

Vikkie14:
@ tdayof, there are salient points in the article you posted but, the Sunni's is a greater threat just like their Shia/Shiite's counterpart.
We all know the 'sect' that engaged more in this kinda 'business'. Even the one we are fighting in-country, we all know the sect they belong to.
Going by the OP assertion(s), if he claimed that Iran is their sponsor(which is half true) then we can conveniently say Saudi Arabia is the Mastermind behind every Sunni Jihadist Group(terrorists) the world over. Again, if the Iranian amb. Should be sent home, then the same fate should befall his Saudi counterpart because, practically, both are terrorist/de-stabilisers sponsoring nations.
Prior to BH insurgence, the audio release of Bin Laden then still rings in my ear, where he says and i quote: "Nigeria is ripe for Jihad", End of quote. We know where Laden comes from.

If Iran should 'start' its destabilization program in Nigeria(through the shiite), their target will be at the sunni-led government and the sunni-majority-moslems(though everyone will be affected in the crisis), it won't be directly toward the State.
So, both sects are threat to humanity... Simple.

*Sorry for the long post.*

Nice reading your reply. You have got some points.

At the post, the issue of huge weapons being discovered makes me believe there are alot that have been successfully smuggled into the country.

If we have great evidence about these people especially with the IRGC caught, Is it that we're scared to prosecute them as they're citizens of countries with nuclear capabilities?

Don't be dumb. You obviously should know I read it I'm just pointing out some unnecessary write up in the post.

Lol. This post is just like copying Steve Jobs speech at Harvard and pasting.

The economic recession is keeping Nigerians busy as focus shifts to daily survival to the extent that we carry on, unaware of threat greater than hunger and deprivation. The Islamic Republic of Iran! There it is. The threat greater than the prospect of starvation. Yet, those Nigerians who do not identify this country as a threat to the future of our fatherland can be forgiven.
The last consciousness we have of Iran was when President Muhammadu Buhari went on an official trip to Tehran, the Iranian capital to attend the third edition of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum. That visit was widely construed by members of the public that we enjoy excellent diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic. The layman can be pardoned for holding such view but it would be suicidal for Nigeria if those in government, particularly those in our diplomatic and security circle live with such delusion.
There are instances that would justify being so deluded but we must never fall for that trap for once. Of course there was that picture of Iranian Foreign Minister, Dr Mohammad Javad Zarif and the Ambsaddor to Nigeria, Morteza Rahimi Zarchi in a photo op with President Buhari in Abuja and that was as recently as July this year. One can only hope that our diplomats see to it that such events do not go beyond the phot ops that they are. Iran may be cosying up to the Nigerian government with all the touchy-feely diplomacy that would only deliver a poisoned kiss in the final episode.
The Islamic Republic may be posing as Nigeria’s ally but the reality is that it is using our country as the launch-pad for its ambitious goal of spreading Shiism across the world having failed in the Middle East where several of its attempts ended in fiasco. So far, it has found a non-resistant host for the virus of state sponsored terrorism it is peddling in Nigeria.
In 2013, the military intelligence discovered a large cache of arms and ammunitions in a warehouse in the Bompai area of Kano, the Kano State capital. Memory of that discovery should continue to send the jitters down the spine of any patriotic Nigerian. The weapons uncovered included “anti-tank weapons, RPGs and RPG launchers, submachine guns, handguns, and a large quantity of ammunition and explosives,” according to reports. The cache was later tied to Hezbollah and the sponsor of that terror group is well known as Iran, which pulls the strings and dictates the group’s actions, practically.
We must not forget that prior to the discovery of the cache of arms in Kano, the Department of State Services had uncovered an Iranian terror network in Lagos on February 20, 2013. Members of the network answered to a Shiite cleric who had trained in Iran. Their briefs included spying on nationals and interest of other nations that are Nigeria’s allies.
Further down memory lane, a vessel, the M/V Everest arrived in Nigeria on October 26, 2010 with cargo that was inimical to us as a nation – 13 container load of weapons, make that several tons of weapons that originated from Iran. While the destination of the weapons was said to be the Gambia, nothing puts it beyond those behind the shipment to have quietly offloaded and slipped some into circulation in Nigeria. The two operatives of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards behind the shipment had posed as businessmen in the business of building material so claiming the destination was the Gambia could have as well been a front.
It appears Iran got fed up with having to use fronts and alibis to get the dirty job done and simply decided to outsource to a proxy. The Islamic Movement in Nigeria thus became the willing franchisee in Nigeria to do the Islamic Republic’s dirty work. What better way to infiltrate another country other than through its citizens that have been brainwashed to the point of radicalism?
Whatever Iran got into IMN members must have been some sort of hallucinogen-on-steroid. Leaders of the group, hand-picked and trained in Iran have spent years, quietly building cells and networks while the Nigerian state continues to think there is now no much to worry about since they were interacting with a supposedly friendly nation. Recent events have however exposed the flaw in that perception. IMN is nothing like a religious or sectarian movement it packages itself to be. It is an Iranian terror group that is apparently intended to metamorphose into the Nigerian equivalent of Hezbollah at some point.
Iran’s inability to ship weapons or embed spies in Nigeria without detection possibly forced it to activate the side of IMN prematurely. This perhaps explains the rapid rate at which the group became belligerent. It had maintained a reign of terror over Zaria, Kaduna state, which it used like a test case, without brazenly confronting security operatives or attempting to assassinate military leaders. The decision of its leaders and members to engage the army in an open war in December 2015 must have been driven by directions and assurances from outside Nigeria and only one country is known to have such capacity, interest and incentive.
Two things stood out in the wake of the fall out from the folly of IMN in fighting the army.
One, the cache of weapons surfaced from the IMN stronghold in Zaria echoes the several attempts by Iran to ship weapons to or through Nigeria. In both cases authorities need to investigate to find out the extent to which Iran succeeded in handing arms to IMN members in instances that were not discovered by security agencies. That probe should also extend to finding out what trainings IMN members received from Iran in the light of the videos showing members of the group performing military drills.
Secondly, we must establish how much logistics and funding support IMN got from Iran, especially under its former ambassador, Saeed Koozechi, who was openly anti-Nigeria while championing the right of IMN militants to kill Nigerian troops and get away with it. That investigation too should shed light on what has changed under the incumbent Ambassador Zarchi who replaced Koozechi. The IMN extremists had slowed down their invectives against the Nigerian state upon Koozechi’s recall but have again started returning to aggressive behaviours.
Their aggression in recent weeks included threats to shut down Abuja with protests if IMN head, Sheikh Ibraheem Al-Zakyzaky is not released from detention even when the offence for which he is being held, borders on terrorism. It remains unclear at this point if the members genuinely want to see their leader freed or that Iran has become fed up with him and only wants him released to newly anointed replacements who will likely kill him to have something against the Nigerian government while paving way for a leadership that will be more aggressive than el-Zakyzaky.
Whatever the case may be, if the previous government did not do it, it must be because they repeatedly ignored the facts, but the federal government must review our relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Its current Ambassador should be sent back home while relations with the country should be put on ice until it can give a strong commitment that it would cut off support to IMN, stop shipping arms to or through Nigeria and stop stop its attempt of creating a Hezbollah equivalent in Nigeria.

Truth be told, most NIGERIANS on nairaland either have no brain or they type with a biased mind and heart.
Who cares if you're a Judge?
Law enforcement officers can arrest a judge. They are citizens like anyone else and if they break the law, they are subject to the same probable cause standards as any other citizen.

You're milking the nation, I don't care if this is a witch-hunt but so far you're stealing our money, you must be prosecuted.
After this administration let the new one prosecute too I don't give a damn.

Bunch of thieves.
