Jakumo: The drones are recent arrivals and training is ongoing. No missiles have taken flight in anger just yet, but that will soon change. There is no question that the Nigerian military's deployment of surveillance and ground attack drones, will prove dramatically successful beyond the wildest dreams of the program's architects, and that greater combat efficiency will inspire a massive expansion of the Nigerian Air Force drone program in all theaters of conflict.
The greatest immediate beneficiaries of this drone presence on the front lines of Nigeria's war on terror, will of course be the infantry troopers, whose strategy and battle tactics will be FAR better informed and effective, thanks to the eye in the sky, and that, will translate into far fewer ambushes, and far fewer successful placements of IED Improvised Explosive Devices targeting federal military vehicular convoys as well as foot patrols.
Given that the vast majority of federal troop casualties recorded during Nigeria's ongoing war on terror, occurred during ambushes, or from exposure to remotely actuated shrapnel spraying booby-traps, the addition of drone battle-theater coverage by the Nigerian military, means in simple terms that hundreds, and possibly thousands of soldiers will return to their families from the war-front alive, rather than in body-bags, as is tragically the case all too often when soldiers are put in harm's way, without close tactical air support, either manned, or preferably, unmanned, to keep pace with the times.
Go Airforce ! Go President Buhari ! Go Drone Pilots ! Give em HELL !
Patriotic comments unlike the many wannabe BH propagandists.
ModestGal: I followed the news from January, when it was a Novel Virus. I was hell worried, because I knew the case of Ebola, I studied past outbreak and how an outbreak of infection can pass boundaries
I was busy calling for people to help the Chinese curtail the spread, but Alas! When I was hell worried, people were busy sharing Chinese videos and photos of them eating bats, rats, cockroaches etc. They were jubiliating that the Chinese were dying due to their bad habits.
I told a brother that we should pray for the disease to End in China, so that people would stop dying, but instead, he said the reason China was afflicted was because they imprisoned the Muslims in China, and Allah is punishing them, so its good for them. Myself and this brother almost fought, because he was simply happy the disease was in China as a punishment for Haters, he even quoted one Hadith like that for me, on how it is Allahs work and why I must not wish them recovery or get concerned.
Americans were busy abusing China for human Right whatever all over my FB page. Whenever I raise it that we should pray for China, or that the world should help China, I would be abused.
I remember telling them about Ebola,how it entered different countries. Even my friends from other Asian countries like Singapore were all saying good for them.
Everyone was busy wishing them the worst when we should have used all those times to prepare, we didn't. But were instead mocking China because of differences in opinions, beliefs, government, they allowed the disease to become pandemic. Wuhan has resumed their schools
I hope the Muslims have learnt their lessons. I'm a Muslim, and I don't fall into the category of those that would wish bad on others due to differences in opinions, beliefs etc, this doesn't mean we shouldn't fight for our rights, but must be in a peaceful manner. Then some self acclaimed scholars were even mocking China for using facemasks saying that Allah forced them to use facemasks since they are punishing the Ugheli Muslims. I used to shake my head whenever I see such posts because I was already seeing the Pandemic and how people might be afflicted without the virus regarding the religions of anyone. There are different ways you can fight for your right without wars, weapons etc. Humans have evolved beyond the stages where war would make them succumb and start liking you. That's why Terrorists would never succeed neither are those people who still believe that Jihad of Sword makes senses. If you conquer a city today, tomorrow, they who group and strike back, the war would never end unlike in the past where humans were stupid enough to be loyal after wars etc. Even if slavery should exist today, many people would kill their bosses easily without minding consequences because the human mind has evolved beyond being loyal out of fear of death.
When it comes to the issue of life and death, especially from infectious ailments, you should help people even your Enemy because your own life is not ascertained. Many Muslims have died on top this Matter, abi all those almajiri affected are CHINESE? Abbakyari was a Chinese abi na him punish Muslims for China? Death in Kano keeps rising and if you check the data, there are more Muslims dyeing there.
No matter what do not Mock anyone, be it your Enemy or friend when they are afflicted with bad things ........... Note** No time to quote any Hadith/Quran before the miss & Mr know all should say its not islamical No time to spell check or grammes check cz as I thought of this, I just want to drop .
After all this tale you ended up making no sensible point.
God punishes Muslims as well as non Muslims, being a Muslim is not an insulation from reaping what you sow. As Muslims you will prefer being punished for your deeds here on earth than in the hereafter. Do you think the present crop of Muslims are anything to write about when compared to the our predecessors?
Now trying minimize what China is doing to Uigar community clearly shows you have little understanding of the level persecution and cruelty Muslims there face. Muslims are being forced in concentration camps to change their values, Muslims are being forced to drink alcohol, eat pork, being stopped to make the ordinary decision to Fast. The top their evil ways, they force Muslims ladies to marry atheist brides, if you think this sort of persecution is what you should be trivialise with your charitable excercise of propaganda for China then truly ask yourself some pertinent questions! If you could not even sense the irony of people who oppress others from dressing according to the dictate of their conscience being forced forced to adopt the mannerisms of the people they oppress then you clearly don't get it.
When Allah SWT began punishing the people of pharaoh, it started with mundane things till it get severer and severer, Allah always warns people. The Soviet Union did worse today where is it? Rag tag Afghanistan broke it into pieces after their adventurism took their oppression there once again to impose the illogical ways of athiesm which seems to be only propagatable with the logic of brute.
What you could have done was a speak about gloating over the suffering of others but to do mix of unrelated subject ended up being just a charitable excercise on behalf of a godless regime.
Drone war is a game changer, this is how Turkey has used it too repel Khalifa Hafter forces in Libya and has led to them lossing territory to Turkey back forces.
OreMI22: Wonderful! You just told us what we didn't know.
Now tell us if you will cut down on government luxuries such as fleet of new cars every 6 months, army of domestic servants in your house, a retinue of aides and special assistants, all sorts of bonus pay, duplicated functions at the bloated Federal Ministries etc, etc etc
OR
You will just use the opportunity to borrow even more unsustainable DEBT from China for dubious programs, that you very well know Nigeria may never be able to pay back the huge debt?
Look at the lies, they are always incapable of making coherent point without lies. Duplication of functions of MDAs has been with us since OBJ, what foolish bonus and cars are you talking about?
US has borrowed $3Trillion dollars, when you convert it to Naira I am sure you won't be able pronounce the figure. Every nation has suffered a level of disruption to their incomes, to meet this shortfall can only be addressed by borrowing to meet short term shortfalls.
Here is the Economist rating of the Government that is if you understand what it means.
Topsic70: lolz....'our ppl' wont see dt o! It is tinubu dt has never governed any of their 5 states dt they'll blame for d misgovernance of their states.
It is tiring, I don't understand how people have leaders in their locale and still end up blaming other people for their maladministration.
Yenefer: I wonder how they reason Oh. 90% of their wealthy politicians and business men live in Southwest and North. Whenever I went to bank or market I asked the igbos if they support lamidi cownu they will say "the guy is wants to destroy them" they will even start bringing up conspiracy that some Southwestern or northerners are supporting him. They even said Buhari is supporting kanu
That is sad, it is always some else's fault is a very dangerous mindset to have.
Yenefer: Lol. They need scapegoats someone to hate about their misfortune and the scammer lamidi cownu told them the North. While majority of their politicians and business men/women live in the North and Lagos
Weak minded people fall prey to scapegoating others groups for faults that is entirely theirs.
Lol another N500 billion security votes scandal loading, tomorrow it is the North and Tinubu that is holding them back from developing their states not their wicked thief of a leader they routinely select.
Racoon: As I always ask you lots, how can a man fault the fight against BH(now even granting them amnesty) and fight against same BH because a BH agonist cant be a BH antagonist @ the same time.Cant you think?
Just as we celebrate the death of our enemies our enemies also celebrate our losses. But while we fight a righteous war our enemies fight for an evil course.
Racoon: Perhaps your hypocrite side will not let you know that Adeshina truly will be worried with the recent turn of event given how damning the said article was then.Femi condemned Gambari's support for tyranny during the inglorious Abacha era of which even the president himself was part of.
Today because Adeshina even being a Deacon of a church have lost moral conscience by sticking out his neck to defend the evil and satanic actions of the present Abacha protegeè.
Imagine you once criticized the lawlessness of your boss only for you to become a boss and become more lawlessness yourself.Do you have a conscience? Have a sound conscience.
[/s]
Yet you once also criticize Atiku for competing with Jonathan for the PDP ticket, then attacked his religion and hate his tribe, last year you were grovelling at his feet because it once again suited your hustle. I am sure the maturity of both men is beyond your capacity to comprehend.
Sahara be like Kingibe will be next chief of staff, but ministers settled for Adamu Adamu now Adesina is trying to please Gambari a name that was never mentioned in their speculative rubbish. They surely know where many people house their mumu buttons.
National Task force on COVID-19 has not received a kobo from private donations By NAN 03 April 2020 | 11:29 am

The Presidential Task Force for the Control of Coronavirus (COVID-19), says it is yet to receive any money from the funds donated by the private sector towards the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, a member of the committee and the Minister of Information and Culture, disclosed this on Friday when he appeared on News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum to give an update on the activities of the task force in the fight against the pandemic.
Mohammed expressed dismay over reported calls by some Non-Governmental Organisation seeking the probe of the task force over the deployment of monies gathered from the donations.
“We have not received even one kobo; people want us probed for how we spent monies we have not even seen.”
NAN reports that the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party had similarly called for the disbandment of the task force to be replaced by Eminent Nigerians Group to manage the donations from the private sector and palliatives from the federal government.
Mohammed said that such criticisms were unfounded. “I can say without any fear that as of this moment, the task force has not received a kobo from anybody.
“The only money we will be able to account for is whatever money we receive from the federal government.
“The Nigeria Economy Group-led private sector has said it is not going to give a penny to the task force; it says it will only raise the money and ask us what our needs are,” he explained.
Mohammed said that the task force had already compiled the needs.
“We have asked for more equipment and facilities, especially for those who might test positive to the virus.
“We anticipate a spike in the number of people that will test positive but there should be no cause for alarm.
Racoon: So was the crying soldier(as well as others who have expressed the same anguish) involved in the video wherein Maj-Gen.Adeniyi was briefing his superiors about the war front reality on the BH counter insurgency was also experience this shit?
The army should stop all these lies & propaganda.These junior soldiers are just being used as pawns in a chess game they know nothing about.
[/s]
There are many threads showing the Victory of the Nigerian Military over BH, even a thread about Shekau crying and begging, none of this caught your fancy, rather you immediately jump at this news because to you Nigeria Military personnel dying serves your poor political choices than their victory, but God will surely give our men victory.
Just as we celebrate the death of our enemies our enemies also celebrate our losses. But while we fight a righteous war our enemies fight for an evil course.
Those who celebrate the victory of BH are enemies of Nigeria, but surely sadness and despair shall be their reward.
Here is more video of your troops dying since that is what brings joy to you
NGpatriot: And when BH attack innocent Nigerians and their villages, the terrorist loving losers rejoice and celebrate.
See, when the terrorists attacked Dapchi, they rejoiced, but not know that the NAF was loading up bombs to blast away their BH friends so after showing them the video of the NAF blasting their BH friends to hell, their joy and happiness just vamoose..
God Bless Nigeria
They have rush and put a video of a soldier angry after suffering an ambush on the frontpage, yet this thread of victory is left where it is because they celebrate murderers and mock our heroes. But God shall surely give us victory over murderers.
tex73: Bros how every?. If u take a screenshot and zoom well, u would actually see Dangote himself in that zoom meeting.
Did he mention dangote? Was dangote the only person in the meeting? It could have been anyone including Dangote, that her repulsive tribalism made her resort to slander what she does not know is clearly showing how tribalism and hate has replaced all her brain cells.
Ikjosh04: Mr man, you're saying shit. She's telling us her reality which is the same reality of most of us the common man. So i put it to you, your tribalism is so sickening for you to think her comment is about tribalism.
Racoon: Humn! Sabotaging the economy by mopping up any of the available dollars/forex.Meanwhile was it not the inconsistent policies of the CBN that allowed the dollar to skyrocket?
[/s]
Always sympathetic to criminals, always excusing their evil ways and leading the charge to normalize them.
gurunlocker: Lol.... Loss? I didn't lose anything. Just bringing your attention to the picture you posted.
But if you see that as loss, then I guess you are a failure yourself posting fake pictures
[/s]
Denial, the first stage of grief, once again sorry for the loss of your colleagues, if Nigeria military don't kill them they will likely die of hunger.
Gandollar: No wonder the prices for most dangote products have skyrocketed. It's a vicious circle and only the masses suffer.
[/s]
Their tribalism is so sickening, at no time did he mention dangote but because of hate they put his name on the thread name and are now pressing on with their slander.
I don't understand this sort of jealous and hatefulness that propels some people.
