Was there any kind of announcement of the induction?[s] I couldn't find any post online where Lai Muhammad made any announcement to that effect.[/s]

I just saw something on this on Sahara Reporter but the induction date was supposed to be August 3, yesterday. Perhaps, they have already done it without notifying anyone.

bidexiii:



Am thinking it would be a quiet induction, propably because of the UAVs. So it will be more classified induction.

Was there any kind of announcement of the induction? I couldn't find any post online where Lai Muhammad made any announcement to that effect.

Are you guys sure Nigerian Air Force is inducting the Super Tucano today? No announcement whatsoever. The only announcement was a post supposedly made by Lai Muhammad. So far, nothing.

It's far from been one of the darkest moments mate.
Where you in Borno 2010 to 2016 ?
If you where in Borno during this period then you shouldn't be saying it's "one of the darkest moments" in the North East.

I also think those period Samuel mentioned were actually the darkest period for Nigerian soldiers. The 2000 dead soldiers claim is way too low.

2010 to 2016 were the darkest period for the residents of Borno and its environs because of the rate of bomb blast incidents. It was also the period when Shekau reigned supreme.

As shared by a Facebook user Chimaka Cynthia Duruigbo, her father a bike man operating in the orlu axis is among the alleged ESN members paraded by the men of the Nigeria Police force.

The old man went missing for sometime now after going out in search of a daily bread not knowing he was picked up by the police and his motorcycle burnt to ashes.

The people murdering police and soldiers are people's parents, brothers too. And the chances that they will tell their families they are involved with heinous crime is slim to none. So no surprise here.

And why do you have to keep on copying and pasting stories on the front page here?!

SamuelAnyawu:


Haaaa yes na full details. Tho I don’t know if they take individual passports.

Our Previous Brigade Commander once showed us books of these records. Tho fear no gree me ask Brigadier General if they save it on a computer system too

I can't believe we are still storing those vital details in a booklet like true ancient people.
They need to be storing their details in a database. They also need to be collecting their fingerprint and DNA sample.

SamuelAnyawu:


Yes first the Military intelligence guys will profile and record.

Secondly, the state government under SEMA profiles and records.

Thirdly UN International Organisation for Migration profiles and record.

Then other organizations will now attend to them.

Do the military capture them into their database or just questioning?

Nigerians, we are very funny people. The length we go to in order to defend criminals from our ethnic or religious group is mind-boggling.

I intentionally picked up this snake after seeing it's belly pattern. It bit me, but it was just a bite. I mean with teeth not fang. I was initially scared, but I knew it wasn't venomous.
Typical example of a non venomous snake. Checkout it's eyes. Next pics
Zoom the first pic to checkout it's belly pattern

More details of non venomous snakes with pic below

You need to to the hospital regardless. These non-venomous pack deadly bacteria.

Dear All,

What do you all think can be done differently on the Maiduguri-Damaturu highway.

This is just an hour stretch road.

Do they typically use multiple gun trucks on these checkpoints?

SamuelAnyawu:
ISWAP sets up VCP along Maiduguri - Damaturu road as at 1:00pm today.

Does anyone know what they do with the Christians they have been kidnapping?

"...12 AH-1 Cobra fighter jets and accompanying defence systems to the Nigerian military."

2 reporters wrote this article yet none of them realised AH-1 Cobra is an attack helo not a fighter jet, smh.

To Nigerian journalists every military aircraft is a fighter jet.

Yes. Soldiers almost wanted to burn down that Borno express transport Park. I heard some guys there immediately you board will give info.

The recent one that happened normall drivers do deny and allow BH go through the stress of profiling. Soldiers here said the driver point hand immediately. Tho I heard Army still Dey flog am for Maimalari

This kind of Airlifting will it be the Hercules C-130?

C-130 might be an overkill for such task. Honestly, they can just dedicate 2 or 3 MI-171 helicopters to be transporting soldiers to points that are relatively safe.

That driver deserve serious flogging but really there isn't much he could do when his own life will probably be at risk.

My Military guys over here said a Signal came from 7 Div stopping all Soldiers in Borno from Going on Pass.

The Army is liaising with the Airforce on how to lift Soldiers to Abuja and Yola.

To kick off late next month

Finally, common sense is prevailing slowly. None of our soldiers should use public transport in hot zone again.

He is not innocent, FBI will never make any accusation without concrete evidence to back it up. He collected bribe from Hushpuppi, that is a fact.

Some people derive joy from calamitous news. I am not mentioning names but you know who.

editing tag is it safe?
Thought there were noise about how editing gig tags deranks your gig.
Kinda confused...

This is my first time of hearing this. The only issue I know with editing tags is that your gig can get inactive until you speak to Customer Support before it can be resolved. Some people may not even know their gig is inactive until they check directly on the Customer Support page.

It is surely a man behind that account. They are mainly for catfishing. It is only foolish people that will listen and follow the account.

The Ikorodu-itokin-ijebu ode expressway have totally been abandoned... Why? The road is terrible and filled with Fulani heardsmen kidnapping people.

If you wan pass itokin go ijebu ode, you will have to pass through Epe.

I'm sure this kin thing dey happen for USA too

Anybody wey fill say I dey lie, make dem go pass the road and give us update

Fulani herdsmen don't want to read cow again. Kidnapping is their new line of business.

RiceProducers:


MI35M is slow, heavy, lumbering and cannot fight, return, fight again a d be ready the next day again to fight.

Only the US has done the reliability engineering work that guarantees that level of availability of helicopters . They learnt it the hard way in Vietnam.

Look at the profile of the AH1. Very thin profile and difficult to shoot down. The cockpit is just as armoured as MI 35M.

Is the production line still open?

RiceProducers:


I beg your pardon. The AH1 is still in service. The reliability is 4x that of MI 35M.
I still wonder why people don't get updated about things. The version Nigeria is planing to buy would be a able to fire APKWS enabled rockets and ATGMs.

How could anyone say AH1s are old?. Of course they were active during the Vietnam War. Of course there are modern versions flying in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco et. C.
The most serially modernized and upgraded combat helicopters in history. AH64 Apache is a slight departure from AH1 not the modern version of AH1.

As for Congress blocking it, Nigeria is actually just playing a game. The Plan B would be MI28N (which I don't like) or more of the MI35M
When the Americans come with sanctions, Nigeria wants to be able to use lobbyists to make the point "we came to you first" and you said NO.
The US may also be concerned (their capacity for silliness is high) about a future Nigerian civil War with their weapons falling in the hands of one side and the negative publicity.

Is it still in production?

MI-35M can also fire guided missile. Fvck that overpriced copter.

With their fvcking maintenance culture, the useless organization want to get 12 old helicopters for $800 million?

What will the 12 change that hundreds of IFVs and MRAPs won't do and more.

It is a foolish buy, definitely. That helicopter started production at the early stage of Vietnam war.

Some of us cant access Twitter. Can you guys summarise the video for us?

How in hell did they get that tavor

They have killed so many security personnels. They stole it from dead personnels.

That black Land Cruiser belongs to government and it appears in pristine condition. How did they get that? Were they given by a sympathiser within the government?
