Would.

There are Pumas the UK retired that our bean counters watched on while sitting on their behinds

if you know this for a fact, then i now absolutely understand your skepticism about these potential tandems. There is no reason to acquire any aircraft without having the capacity and capability to keep them maintained in-house forever, this idea of ferrying military aircraft to another country for repairs has always irked me and will continually be irresponsible and outright pathetic; as a country the nigerian military has been making strides when it comes to repairs and overhauls, but this has to be greatly improved upon.
Overall i do not believe going forward the nigerian military needs more than a limited number of mission specific manned aircraft. For air dominance, most of the military's energy should be dedicated towards the new way wars are fought and won, which is ground radars, unmanned loitering aircrafts, missiles and automated equipment, these are equipment's the military can build and own 100% hence repairs and overhauls remain in-country. Recently, an american company bought a stake in a nigerian drone company for 11million dollars. Lets just imagine what 65million would enable that nigerian company achieve, or better yet dicon.

sincerely understand your point of view brother, i guess i should rephrase my thought and say, obsolescence may only occur if that's what's wanted. yes, cars built a long time ago are still driving till today if one has the ability to maintain them. electronics can be upgraded, parts swapped for better and modern ones; all that's required is the capacity, resources and the will to do it. I know for a fact that the nigerian military have upgraded avionics of some aircraft recently; in-country private companies can be tasked to repair and overhaul these aircraft when the time comes, albeit, this contract must be planned ahead of time to enable a company tool up and ready their shop. There's nothing impossible about tandem rotors, because they're difficult doesn't mean we shouldn't acquire them when a good deal comes up.
if you ask me, what should the nigerian military do with 50-60 million dollars, i definitely will not buy these aircraft. my advice will always be to acquire the capacity to build drones, high altitude drones with more powerful optical gear, there is absolutely no reason why at this time there shouldn't be a hale drone per state running 24hrs a day 7days a week. this is what i would do with 60million dollars not buy chinook but with everything nigeria, we are grateful they haven't chop the money

Here is what i found from some initial research, if the information below is true, it does seem like a good deal, however I'm always concerned whenever the military purchases aircraft capable of transporting more than two individuals at a time because eventually madam and oga will definitely use these aircraft for personnel transportation services for owambe, christmas and sallah services. not that that's a bad thing when isolated but im pretty sure purposely built surveillance aircraft have been pictured used to transport civilians and their relatives.
If you ask me, more investment in drone and unmanned aircraft should be the priority for the military at this time and going forward, but again, looking at the list below, if true and confirmed, the fire fighting capability is one i think is needed as a functional capability, the list of spareparts, engines, rotors, water buckets, ambulance service. Overall, its a good deal for the price.
As for the allegation of these aircrafts been obsolete, I've always believed its technically impossible for a machine to become obsolete, one can plan to make a machine obsolete so as to ensure that new machines are made and used but so long as a machine is properly maintained and serviced, it can perform its functions indefinitely. The question now is what's the planned maintenance routine for these aircraft knowing that the military has continually improved on its in-country service capabilities. Several milestones have been passed in this regard, so hopefully the progress doesn't stop

giles14:
the heat produced during combustion has downgraded the armoured steel.
Can the steel be used -Yes
But as an armoured steel- no .

Factually incorrect. this level of combustive heat, does not and can never downgrade steel to the point of un-recyclability.

Armored steel is made just like every other type or grade of steel. Iron, coal, STEEL SCRAP and other minerals are fired and melted in a furnace to create molten steel. This molten steel is poured and rolled into slabs of chemically-similar material at consistent width.
These slabs are allowed to cool and further re-heated and rolled under a mill to a lesser thickness and then cut into various length while still hot and then allowed to cool again.
Armored steel is further pressured and tempered to increase the hardness, hence you get better ballistic protection for the same thickness
Armored steel is further subjected to additional treatment and pressure if the chemical properties are not exactly right.
Each Armored steel plate is tested for ballistic integrity by making an incision to excise a piece of the plate for microscopic testing.

Whyem15:
Is there any possibility that the steel used in building this APC is still intact? Could it be reused?

Reused as in Recycled? YES.
dissect and cut the steel into smaller pieces
Melt the steel down into liquid steel along with other recycled steel.
Hot roll or Cold roll into new steel sheets.
Fabricate once again into an APC.
Steel, aluminum and most, if not all metals are 99% recyclable.

Reused as in reform its structural integrity by hammering it back into place? Not advisable.

7 years ago I use to Admire Namibia and South Africa when it comes to MRAPs and Radios technology.
At some point, I thought it would be impossible for us to catch-up with them not knowing we might even get better within a very short period.

Nigeria is just a land full of surprises.

here here
remember vividly the beginnings of the fabrication venture, Igirigi. People made fun, even laughed at its insane ugliness... well... only the foresighted could see into the future of Armored personnel carriers production.
Only people who knew how technically easy these ventures are could imagine that it wouldn't take time for Nigeria's private sector to catch up with their imported counterparts. What nobody expected and what most people are still baffled by is DICON and its exponential growth in the past years, giving PROFORCE a run for its money.
The quality of these products are of high standard and proficient enough to get military personnel the protection they need. Its a burgeoning industry, growing in leaps and bounds with sizeable investments both private and public.
Remember when the unofficial embargo was placed on the Nigerian government, and said government had to literally purchase arms from shady third-hand dealers; even to the point of a chartered plane been stopped and its contents seized by another African country based on information given to it by the secret service of a North-American country.
That was definitely one of the lowest point for Nigeria's war against the vermin invaders. Well, just a few years later, Nigeria has pretty much learned the lesson it should have learnt a long time ago, nobody respects a beggar. Stop begging and get to work.
Build, fabricate, engineer, develop all facets of industry that enable and engender respect among the committee of nations. Nigeria's oil industry and its local content drive which has seen its local capacity to fabricate increase to 35% of all contents used in Nigeria's oil and gas industry gives it ample knowledge and capacity to build bigger and better. Nigeria's content and development monitoring Board has been steadily increasing this percentage from 10% a decade ago to 35% now and the aim of 70% in the next decade.
Because after you've built and assembled more than 7,000 tones in parts of a floating, production and storage vessel, then APC's, Tanks, and ships do not seem as complicated any longer.
That's, 70% of all content used in one of the largest oil and gas industries in the world. Think about how many engineers, professional welders, project managers, procurement managers would be involved in all these private companies.
Shame on those who are blinded by their deep-seated animosity and inferiority complex towards a Nation on the verge of a technological and industrial revolution. A nation that can truly inspire hope, renaissance, and a resurgence in science and technology for the whole continent. Whether in Space technology, Oil and gas, Software development, Banking, ICT, Agriculture, and the service industry.
The land is green.

About five persons have been reported killed when the Nigerian Army personnel clashed with bus drivers in Ilesha-Baruba motor park in the Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The cause of the misunderstanding was said to be over an alleged N100 bribe which the soldiers, which mounted a roadblock in the area, demanded from the bus drivers.

It was learnt that the crisis started on Friday after a bus driver on Ilesha-Sinawu Road refused to part with N100 for the soldiers, and an argument ensued.

SaharaReporters learnt that in the course of the argument, the soldiers slapped him and he angrily left, came back and mobilised his other colleagues from the motor park.

After that, the soldiers opened fire on the drivers and five persons were feared dead, while several others were injured.

An eyewitness noted that the soldiers had been notorious for extorting money from the bus drivers and the altercation ensued because the drivers could not take the harassment any longer.

“Friday was the market day, and people came from several neighbouring areas to Sinawu for trade. Vehicular movements from and outside Sinawu area were so high. So, the soldiers had a field day collecting money from drivers.

“The soldiers on the Ilesha-Baruba highway, which is a distance of 25 minutes, were found extorting commercial vehicles which ply the road, ranging from N100 to N500 depending on what you are carrying. It was while extorting one of the commercial vehicles that the incident happened.

“The driver refused to give the soldiers N100, and they slapped him several times. He then reported them to the motor park, and his colleagues came to question the soldiers. That was how the soldiers shot at them,” the witness, Abdul Ganiyu, narrated.

“The altercation led to the shooting of no fewer than five persons who are feared dead as we speak while others were injured. The soldiers have also fled from the scene,” another witness added.

if as true as stated;
this would be another reprehensible act.... absolutely reprehensible, the culprits, violent thugs in NA uniform must be fished out and adequately dealt with... apologies must be tendered and compensation must be paid to the family of the deceased.
if this case is swept under the carpet like many others over the years. It further makes it hard to justify the "NA is a professional force" mantra. As being a professional force is not by words or how many times those words are repeated but by action and consequences for egregious acts of violence against civilian citizens of the federal Republic of Nigeria.
Extortion and extra-judicial murder has never been the job description at the NA.

"Lance Corporal Harrison Friday - One good soldier against evil.
We call it valiant when a gun holding soldier shoots a gun holding terrorist.
What do we call a soldier that speaks up for the unarmed he swore to protect,
One good soldier"

Here is a soldier that has been publicly arrested, humiliated and labelled a criminal by the NA
what's his crime? he asked his fellow soldiers to stay true to their oath and not turn their guns on innocent civilians
meanwhile soldiers accused of been kidnap-ring assailants and police-murderers are enjoying silence.
On this case, its nothing but shame, absolute shame.

Now these are the sort of pictures that can give me a boner for 3 straight weeks, no jokes.
less impressed with the purchase of equipment,
more impressed with fabrications, modifications and in-house integration of systems to meet the need of the troops on ground.
NAF, NN, NA are seriously kicking private military industry butt when it comes to production of military equipment.
One wonders what's holding private military industry back, but a few like proforce, Epenal etc.
Yes, Initial purchase of a few units are necessary to understand the workings of modern equipment, but
afterwards, the rest units must be assembled locally, I repeat MUST. Nigeria cannot afford to procure all it needs from other countries, this would be suicidal, as we should have learnt from the very early Jaguar escapades.
Private military industry must continue to showcase their prowess by constructing what the Military needs but don't currently have, this is the only way they would be taken seriously and joint ventured with. Why is private industry afraid of dabbling into the manufacture of prototype military equipment. Yes to get into full fledge assembly of military equipment will require major paperwork and permissions from DSS and such. But, not prototypes, matter of fact, a company is more likely to be granted permissions after the delivery of a working prototype.

absolutely vacuous and without substance. God? God? Good God! Kai Kai Kai.
Does BuBu know that the war against insurgents in Nigeria's entire north starts and ends with Border security?
So, for all the time the borders were closed, was he twiddling his thumbs? no ideas about how to secure the borders?

1400km Chain linked double fence, anyone? with overhead drones patrol-monitoring each section of the fence.
And before anyone says that will be expensive, well;

how much is tens of thousands of Nigerians dead, imagine they were your family;
how much is Nigeria's pride;
how much is 344 school children kidnapped and tortured, raped and sold off as slaves;
to have America conduct an operation on Nigeria's soil, and some people on here shrug it off like its nothing, and was supposed to happen.

One thing is for sure though, BuBu has been completely demystified. The Emperor indeed has no clothes. What a shame. Why not tell us this when campaigning, that God was the one to secure the borders. Absolute nonsense.
I think its better you don't talk at all. Just finish and go already.

Kidnappings: Nigerian Army has failed Borno residents – Zulum

The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has blamed the recent spike of abductions along the roads leading to his state on the Nigeria military, even as he stressed that the people are being killed because the army has failed to do their assigned jobs.

Mr Zulum was reacting to last weekend’s abduction of 35 travellers and many other such incidences that have become a daily occurrence on Maiduguri-Damaturu road, the only safe route that leads to Borno State.

The governor, on Monday, visited the location where the 35 travellers were abducted to inspect the level of destruction perpetrated by the Boko Haram.

The governor spoke to journalists at the scene of the attack, expressing shock and annoyance on how such magnitude of attack was being perpetrated under the watch of the soldiers and police special squads deployed to protect the highway.

“It is sad and mind-boggling how innocent commuters are being kidnapped and killed on this Maiduguri – Kano road, especially the road linking Maiduguri and Damaturu. It is also very annoying to note that these atrocities are being committed between Jakana and Auno, a distance of only 20 kilometres.”

“Surprisingly we have a Brigade Commander with his team in Jakana; we also have a commanding officer with his battalion in Auno; both teams cover a distance of only 20 kilometres, and they have failed to protect the commuters.

“The Nigeria Army has failed us; they have failed in discharging their role of protecting the commuters.

“This morning while travelling from Maiduguri to Jakana up to Auno, I did not see or sight any single soldier. Even the police-led Rapid Response Squad (RRS) that we established and equipped and enabled to patrol this highway were nowhere to be found on the highway. Instead, they are busy harassing and collecting money from innocent travellers, both police and soldiers.”

“This is embarrassing. Just look at the number of vehicles that have been burnt here, yet we have our soldiers there watching and collecting money from commuters.

“The irony of the whole thing is that no one dares to speak the truth; if you do, they would soon be out to condemn you.

“If the army cannot protect people travelling within a distance of only 20 kilometres, then I cannot foresee the capacity of the army ending this insurgency any time soon.”

The governor said that despite the setbacks he would be convening an emergency security meeting as soon as he returned to the state capital.

The distance between Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, and Maiduguri, is about 135 kilometres but the hotspot location for attacks and abduction is a 20km stretch on the road. Which means, coming from Damaturu, travellers are no longer safe from kilometre 91 up to 115th kilometre; and coming from Damaturu the road becomes dangerous from 25th kilometre up the 45th kilometre.

In between this stretch, there are identifiable cattle routes that the insurgents use. Also, at both ends of the danger zones, there is a military deployment.

Travellers who must use these routes are only safe to do so between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. The insurgents usually take charge of the highway from around 2 p.m. till late in the evening. Most of the victims of the attack are late travellers, especially those coming to Maiduguri from long distances; or those who set out on journeys very early in the morning.

Mr Zulum, since he assumed office last year, has been very vocal in his criticism of security agencies anytime he feels they are not performing.

The Borno governor, who sometimes ignores security advice to visit troubled parts of Borno State, once accused soldiers of deliberately attacking his convoy to prevent him from reaching a troubled fishing community in the state.

The army, however, said the attack was carried out by Boko Haram, the terror group that has been carrying out attacks in North-east Nigeria since 2009.

The Boko Haram insurgency has caused over 40,000 deaths and displaced millions of others, mainly in North-east Nigeria.

This governor nah one kin confuse man

One of the latest actors in town. I remember when people on here advised that this guy is just another clout chaser, unwilling and unable to tell the real truth to the face of the person that truly matters; I was like nahhh, no way. Zulum fooled everyone, he is a relatively new actor in the game, hence, as reasonable human beings, he was given the benefit of doubt. But its obvious, with every consecutive word that comes out of his mouth, he physically twists and discombobulates himself into a native styled gele and wrapper, that one wonders, how does this even make any sense. how does one begin to unbundle this stack of nonsense.
Says one thing today, only to walk it back the next day, all without tackling the real issue, all without blaming BuBu.

Boko Haram as at 2007 nominated a commissioner to Borno state cabinet - Nigerian Journalist, David Hundeyin reveals how Boko Haram was allegedly born

Hundeyin who accused the north of incubating a monster that is beyond being tamed now, said he lost his sympathy when he worked on origins of violence in the north in 2019.

"When I worked on a report on the origins of violence in the north last year was when I lost all sympathy. They actively incubated a monster that is beyond being tamed now. I'm going to reveal something in this thread that I guarantee most of you have never heard of before.

Are you aware that those in charge of northern Nigeria's political Islam establishment spent decades pacifying their horrendously poor constituents by promising them the land belonging to northern Christians once Sharia was implemented? Let me give you a background.

Due to monogamous marriage which limits their population expansion, northern Christian land inheritance is largely linear, i.e the number of descendants fighting to inherit land from the father is limited, which gives them economic leverage in an area where land is the only asset

Northern muslims on the other hand, have extremely diluted inheritance because the patriarch can have 4 wives and 17 children, 8 of whom might be male. Simply put, there is not enough land to go round which leads to extreme wealth disparity within Muslim areas.

This is why Sharia was championed by northern political actors and enthusiastically welcomed by northern proles - it was a bone for politicians like Yerima to throw to the masses, and the masses genuinely believed that land belonging to the 'arne' would be distributed to them.

Sharia came, and the promised expropriation and redistribution didn't materialise. Bear in mind that young northern men, contrary to popular belief, actually want more from life than poverty and ruin. The promise of taking over arne property was a REAL source of hope for them.

Ustaz Mohammed Yusuf, a charismatic preacher in Maiduguri saw this groundswell of resentment and took advantage of it, cultivating his Salafist group into a political force in Borno state. Boko Haram as at 2007 actually nominated a commissioner to the Borno state cabinet.

The disagreement came when Governor Ali Modu Sheriff refused to follow through on his (politically expedient) promises to Boko Haram, including seizing land belonging to arne and distributing it to economically disenfranchised young Muslim men.

Yusuf went rogue and in July 2009, the Nigeria Police Force got involved the only way it knows how to, extrajudicially executing him in full view of everybody outside the Maiduguri police HQ. Yusuf's deputy, Abubakar Shekau then took over. And the rest is history."

So many facts to concur with here.
The article speaks for itself.
The article speaks what we all know to be true.
Humans never seize to amaze.

Hon. Garba Muhammad of The House of Representatives yesterday called on the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai to urgently establish a battalion of the Nigerian Army at the southern border of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria to help forestall incursions by kidnappers, bandits and miscreants into the campus.


Is Garba Muhammad making sense?
I think so, because if you think about it, what Nigeria needs at this point is not decentralized policing but Military formations in every university, secondary school and primary school, complete with machine gun mounted Ezugwu and grenade launchers. Because, why protect a University campus with soldiers and leave secondary and primary schools without any soldiers, these are very young people that still drink milk, they deserve protection too, by armed soldiers. Infact every school goer should be assigned their own personal soldier, just to be safe.


Hon. Garba Muhammad of The House also asked the federal government to urgently erect a secure wall round the campuses as has been done for the University of Maiduguri in Maiduguri and the Gwagwalada campuses of the University of Abuja in order to forestall incursions.


Is Garba Muhammad making sense?
nooooo, tufiakwa, leave the university campus wide open, no need for borders or barriers, let anyone and anything be able to stray in and out including cows, donkeys and of course armed kidnappers. This is exactly how we were taught to secure a location, by having no physical barrier between what we seek to protect and what aims to kill.
What is a wire mesh security perimeter wall when we can always call on the army after people have been killed and kidnapped.
Oh yea, and we will always pray for the souls of the departed, as I am about to do now.
RIP to the lost souls. May God forgive their sins.


At times like these, its good to have a sense of humor, otherwise one might literally go insane.

You know what this BRG 120 got me thinking of
We've always clamored on here for proper border security.
Absent which Nigeria will never get out of this vicious cycle it finds itself in,
why, because small arms and light weapons keep pouring in. Its not quantum physics.
Border security by a physical double-walled wire-mesh as previously suggested might sound drastic,
maybe expensive, but some people believe a kind of physical border is necessary, an absolute necessity.

What if this BRG 120 could fill the void. Till Nigeria comes to its senses about Border security
Imagine the BRG 120, maybe BRG 240, twice, maybe 4X the size, BRG 480
capable of holding 4 military personnel,
with a massive reservoir below ground, containing water, fuel, food, and ammo to last 3-5 months
of course rationed in a pre-determined manner.
A small non flush chemical toilet(no smell) and a small shower room included-below ground
solar panels on the top of the BRG 480 to power communication and a dedicated tethered drone
a dedicated tethered drone might draw considerable power(24/7), so maybe a long telescopic mast as already used with the BRG 120
for a long-range thermal camera system that can detect movement of persons and vehicles within a 1.5-2 km radius
Personnel 1 operates the surveillance system, looking out for intruders, and also handles the communication systems, periodic check in with DHQ
Personnel 2 handles the gun system; consisting of a machine gun and a sniper rifle.
Personnel 3 is the commander for the shift
Personnel 4 gets a good 6-8 hour sleep
the shift rotates once Personnel 4 wakes up.
an all terrain low riding vehicle comes with the package.
BRG 480 is replenished and evacuated by a dedicated supply truck.
