Dear Nairalanders, i have a been a registered user on this platform going back as far as 2008. I decided to use this moniker to create this thread because of the sensitivity of this personal issue.
I am a realist as well as a spiritual person, a born Christian to be precise.
I don't want to bore you with so much details, all I have to ask is: what do you do when you are told that your mum is a witch. I have tried to do away with this information or revelation for some years now because I thought it's just some callous scammers trying to get something out of you, but today somewhere in a faraway place I have never been to or known, I was told the same thing about my mum. What do I do. Of course she's my mum and I will ever be grateful she brought me to this world but what do I do to be free from her spiritual grasp over me.
I know this is an open forum but I will really want kids to stay away from commenting on this post.

Hmm op we both are not far from d samething. My own mum even did worst she devised my death but GOD rescued me. We all know she is but pastor told me somethings, which I would share with u :1- giv ur mother her right by giving her ur sweat wen u have, but pray on d money b4 giving her.
2- let God fight for u.
3- don't relent in prayers. Pray till she dies

Mobility Command

Created out of Military Airlift Command in February 2011, Mobility Command is headquartered at Yenagoa, where it sits alongside 235 BSG (its new 300-series number is not yet known), which provides support. Curiously, Yenagoa has no airfield, although a facility is

under construction at nearby Ammasoka. Other static units include 351 BSG at Minna and 371 FOB at Warri. Mobility Command flying units include 301 (ex-201) ‘Buffaloes’ Heavy Airlift Group (HAG), with 221 Flying Wing at Ikeja (Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIP), operating three airworthy C-130H/H-30 Hercules

(out of eight airframes); and 303 (ex-203) Medium Airlift Group (MAG), whose 227 Flying Wing nominally operates between one and three G222 transports (out of six airframes) at Ilorin, although these ‘operational’ aircraft appeared to be grounded for maintenance at Ikeja in early 2017.

Other MC units are 305 (ex-207) Special Mobility Group at Calabar (its planned complement of Mi-17/171s has yet to be assigned) and 209 Executive Airlift Group (EAG) at Abuja, with around four King Air 350i turboprops and a handful of executive transports, including a Falcon.
The EAG may have been renumbered as 310 EAG, but this can’t be confirmed; neither can a scheduled move to Minna. Meanwhile it’s unclear if 205 Rotary Group, with one or two Super Pumas at Ikeja, is still active. If so, its new numerical designation is unconfirmed.


Training Commands

In mid-July this year, as part of its restructuring exercise the NAF announced it had split its long-standing Kaduna- based Training Command into two distinct entities – an Air Training Command (ATC), headquartered in Kaduna, and the Ground Training Command (GTC), headquartered in Enugu.

No more information has been released other than the planned establishment of a Central Flying School in Katsina, according to Air Marshal Abubakar. After a decade of sporadic flying training activities, the NAF has now resumed regular programmes. Primary flying training is normally conducted at 401 (ex-301) Flying Training School (FTS) at Kaduna, relocating to Makurdi when seasonal weather conditions preclude flying.
The unit also delivers conversion training on the Do 228, while its UAV Wing, in conjunctionwith the Air Force Research and Development Centre (AFRDC), trains drone operators. By July this year, UAV operations had resumed after a break of seven months and two grounded training UAVs – Chinese-built Mugin 300 series vehicles – had been reactivated by the AFRDC in Kaduna.

The NAF says that since the commencement of in-house UAV flying training, nine officers have been trained and subsequently deployed for operational duties, although a news report from July 13 says 13 officers have been trained as UAV operators. On December 5 last year, 401 FTS began conversion to the Pakistani-built Super Mushshak (SMK) aircraft, which it operates alongside five DA40 NGs (and a simulator).

These SMKs entered service in batches from March 2015 into 2016. Four Super Mushshaks on loan from the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) are in use at Kaduna pending the assembly and commissioning of new-build aircraft whose deliveries began in July.

With its aerobatic capability and electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) cockpit, the SMK was ultimately meant to replace the DA40, although there are recent indications that the NAF may “buy more”, according to the local dealer for the type. This suggests a rethink about the DA40, which may complement the Super Mushshaks.

It seems the large fleet of locally assembled Van’s RV-6/6As, known as ABT-18 Air Beetles, is no longer in service. The first batch of four SMK instructor pilots (IPs), trained under PAF tutelage, graduated from 401 FTS on March 2.

The NAF simultaneously announced that the graduation marked the type’s final handover, since Nigerian pilots could now deliver ab initio training on the aircraft, and early in March, 30 students, including 18 in a first batch, had been selected to begin training with the new IPs.

On completion of primary instruction, pilots destined for further training locally go on to basic flying training on the L-39ZA with 403 FTS at Kano. Between 1987 and 2006, the school ran three IP courses, producing 14 graduates. Since then, two further courses have created 21 more IPs, the most recent, in 2016, training a squadron leader and three flight lieutenants. Each new IP averaged 113 hours of course flying on the L-39ZA through front-seat conversion, rear-seat proficiency and instructional phases.

The unit formally set up as 303 FTS in 1985, its initial L-29 Delfin equipment giving way to the L-39ZA from November 1986. Between 1985 and early 2016, it completed basic flying courses (BFCs) for 164 pilots, alongside the 21 NAF IPs and small numbers of others for the air forces of Ghana and Zimbabwe.

The school also delivers refresher training to NAF pilots and IPs. The last year for which training syllabus data is known is 2009. Then, student pilots were expected to undergo around 50 hours of ab initio training at 301 FTS before proceeding to 303 FTS for 120 or so hours of basic training on the L-39ZA.

Pilots in the transport stream then underwent a flying course on the Do 228, while those destined for fighters went to the 99 Air Weapons School – now known as 407 (ex-117) Air Combat Training Group (ACTG) at Kainji – for at least 50 hours of tactical training on the Alpha Jet, followed by FT-7NI flying with the operational conversion unit (OCU) at Makurdi.
Pilots destined for helicopters first complete their primary flying training at 401 FTS, but the NAF’s initial attempt to deliver helicopter pilot training through the now defunct 305 FTS at Enugu was fraught with difficulty.

The school graduated a first batch of 11 pilots (from an intake of 17 students) between 1986 and 1994, using the Hughes 300C, while a second batch of six emerged between 2000 and 2003 using the Mi-34S – before the Russian helicopters were withdrawn after early gearbox failures. According to senior NAF officials, the quality of training provided was poor.
Since early 2012, the NAF-run International Helicopter Flying School (IHFS) at Enugu has been training rotary-wing pilots, the facility gaining Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority certification as an Approved Training Organisation by August 2013. Well staffed with IPs (unlike 305 FTS, which had only one or two), IHFS trains civilian and military pilots on a fleet of at least four Robinson R66 helicopters.

Some pilots also receive instruction overseas. After passing their primary course at 401 FTS, student pilots proceed to advanced flying training at the International Aviation College in Ilorin, for their commercial pilot’s licence (CPL) or to one of various countries including Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, South Africa, the UK, the US and others in Eastern Europe.

On gaining their licence, they take conversion and captaincy training on the AW109 LUH with 405 (ex-1130 Helicopter Combat Training Group (HCTG) at Enugu, followed by type conversion onto specific helicopters, with various operational units like 115 SOG at Port Harcourt for training on the Mi-24/35 and presumably the EC135. Kaduna is a hub for NAF training and research and development (R&) activities.

Its units include the Ground Training Group; Regimental Training Centre; Air Force Institute of Technology; and the Air Force Research and Development Centre (AFRDC), set up in 2015 after the NAF formulated its R& policy in 2012.

Earlier this year the NAF Institute of Safety (NAFIS) was in the process of moving from Ipetu- Ijesha to Kaduna. Meanwhile, other training school units are based at 451 NAF Station, Jos.

There’s been a sharper focus on training in recent years, both locally delivered (known as ‘lotrac’) and overseas. In 2016, the NAF trained 869 personnel abroad, including 101 pilots and 357 engineers, while 4,868 were trained locally – among them 131 pilots and 643 engineers.

In April a batch of pilots returned after completing tactical combat training with the Egyptian Air Force. Another 29 are training in South Africa, while around ten more are at civilian schools in the UK and in Jordan at the King Hussein Air College. On April 23, NAF Day, six pilots received their wings – among them four helicopter pilots from the IHFS at Enugu and two from the King Hussein Air College. Since then, ten pilots were ‘winged’ in June after gaining their CPLs from Westline Aviation in South Africa while two more combat pilots were winged in early July after completion of their 18-month Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training with the US Air Force at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas.


Logistics Command

Headquartered at Ikeja in Lagos, Logistics Command procures equipment and maintains it in a state of operational readiness. Units include 531 (ex-401)

Aircraft Maintenance Depot at MMIP, Ikeja; 403 Electronics Maintenance Depot at Shasha; 405 Central Armament Depot in Makurdi; 407 Equipment Supply Depot and 551 (ex-435) Base Services Group at Ikeja; and 561 (ex-445) NAF Hospital also at Ikeja. The 500-series designations of most of these units have not yet been disclosed.

Aircraft inventory

The NAF has been slowly growing its operational fast jet fleet since around 2013, a March 2017 estimate putting its number at around 20 aircraft. They include some eight Alpha Jets, six or seven F-7NIs and a single FT-7NI, plus, since late last year, at least four L-39ZAs weaponised with UB-16 rocket and GSh-23 cannon pods. Between four and six more L-39ZAs are believed to be operational with 403 FTS as basic trainers, with the potential for conversion to the light attack role. Actual holdings of combat- capable jets are much greater, and include around 12 Alpha Jets (of 27 acquired), 11 or 12 F-7NIs, including one remaining FT-7NI trainer (of 12 single-seaters and three trainers acquired), and perhaps as many as 21 surviving L-39ZA airframes (of 25 acquired).

Oh yeah in Somalia. I'll post it as a thread. People have short memories you know.Nigeria gave so much but was never acknowledged, it's a shame. In one instance 15 Nigerian soldiers enroute to relieve Italian from guard duty were killed after coming under attack right in full view of Italian troops who were scared shirtless they froze. The Nigerian Army commander was infuriated and accused the Italians of cowardice lol. After that Nigerian troops went from peace keeping to search and destroy. They stormed a building used by Somalian snipers killing scores and capturing the others.

American troops walked right into an ambush, again using flawed Intel from the Italians, they were so useless. Detachment of Nigerian troops 10 miles out heard the plea for help and covered a ten mile distance in record time on foot. You have to give the Americans credit, less than a dozen marines practically fended off hundreds of Somali militias until Nigerian troops showed up.

The only drawback was the The suppression fire from Nigerian troops was so intense several round hit the nearby U.S Embassy building. Needless to say the Marines were able to escape. If Nigerian troops had not been pulled out BLACK HAWK DOWN would not have happened. Many do not realise Nigerians troops were the most hated and feared, more so than American troops. Captured Nigerian soldiers were treated with such barbarity and cruelty because this.

Ok waiting

Apologies for this very lengthy post.

​It is often said that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. This one was worth a billion sentences and more. Yes, the picture of Nigerian Colonel Emeka Onwuamaegbu borne aloft by the tumultuous crowds of war-weary Liberian youths rose far beyond anything one would ordinarily describe as priceless. It showcased a scene not usually seen in the continent of Africa – a mammoth crowd of peace-hungry Africans celebrating their own brother from a neighboring country as a hero. That was as good as it could ever get in the continent of Africa.

The people who were used to being lofted and high-fived in Sub-Saharan Africa were mainly white colonialists and their foreign missionary allies. So, the picture of youthful Liberians hoisting and celebrating a brother from Nigeria as a hero cannot be anything less than priceless. I do not care what the promos of credit card companies might claim. Neither the dollar bills now officially nicknamed “dead presidents” in the latest edition of Webster’s dictionary of American English, nor Visa that claims to be everywhere you want to be, nor even Mastercard that touts itself as priceless, could ever purchase Onwuamaegbu’s triumphal ride on the shoulders of dancing youths in Monrovia. Deservedly it reigned as the photograph of choice by the world media all through last week.

Remember when primitive black Africans were forced to convert their bewildered and saggy shoulders into vehicular transportations for bulky white colonialists and their foreign missionary partners? Some of our black kinsmen and women who were successfully cargoed across the Atlantic had their shoulders chiseled smooth and cushioned in order to complement the efforts of horses and donkeys in providing regular shoulder-transportation to their plantation masters. Those were the days when shoulder-commute by slave masters was the ultimate subjugation and humiliation.

But Onwuamaegbu’s jolly-ride on the shoulders of the youths of Monrovia was different. His was as a result of a spontaneous outburst of joy over the sacrifice of some African brothers and sisters from Nigeria who had come to liberate their civil-war-interlocked Liberian relatives that had been scorned and abandoned by the derelict international community. Liberians reacted exactly the way that is natural to most indigenous Africans. They lifted their potential savior high in jubilation. That shoulder-ride for Col. Onwuamaegbu was in fact the dramatization of the inimitable African gratitude and hospitality.

In America, the uncrowned king of the global print media, the New York Times [NYT], accorded Onwuamaegbu’s “frequent-flyer” photograph its highest honor as the best photo-news of the day’s “all the [photograph] that’s fit to print” by posting it as its attention-grabber-headline on August 05. In fact that was the second time in less than a week that the venerable NYT was according such a rare privilege to Nigeria and her troops.

On August 1, the world’s number one newspaper had featured on the same spot a Nigerian military officer being “eye-telescoped” by inquisitive Liberian lads peering through a wound up glass window of one of the cars of a convoy of Nigerian military officers that were assessing the situation of Liberia prior to the deployment of the trail-blazing Nigerian peacekeepers.

But Onwuamaegbu’s picture was not only priceless it was indeed a one-in-a-lifetime experience both for him personally and for Nigeria as a whole. In fact it did more to burnish Nigeria’s image across the world than perhaps the 100-plus ill-advised oversea trips President Obasanjo had accomplished in his first four years in office.
However, the lofty photograph of Col. Onwuamaegbu, though sublime and supremely priceless, was not the only priceless photographic image that procured Nigeria’s coup de grace in Liberia this past week. In fact the most dramatic image of Monday, August 04, in my view, and also the one that presented Nigeria in a way that had hardly been seen before, was that of the combat-ready Nigerian soldiers ducking for cover as they dismounted and positioned themselves for a potential counterattack at Monrovia International Airport.
