SamuelAnyawu:
Has it been confirmed it was an AA?

You don't even need to have an AA to bring down a jet, an ordinary GPMG can hit a delicate part of the jet which would make it crash.
I think the pilot was flying too low and the aircraft was hit by luck

bidexiii:
There is something confusing to me and yet it has not been answered ?
Where is the co-pilot or main pilot of the Alpha jet.

It was a single pilot mission.

Hard man!

Lurker4Long:
Wait, didn't the NAF spokesman forcefully deny any such crash?

Guess they learnt from the borno incident

Probably they're already in the country has we speak.
The present Military HQ top brass especially the Airforce are very secretive now, the UAV have been delivered and we didn't know anything about it.
But it will take minimum of two days, don't forget there will be many stop overs before to get to Nigeria evebtually.

I think only the winglong has arrived cos the Air chief mentioned last week while visiting gov of bayelsa that the armed drones will arrive this month.

Odunayaw:
I'm still going to do reinforcements for this gate because kini gbogbo eleyi!

Lol, I can't believe the guy opened another account greet himself and also fight himself at the same time.
The syllabus of madness is widening day by day.

bidexiii:
Guys did you notice the picture of wing loong UAV at the background.

I was just about to say the same.
Seems like they've been delivered since the time NAF spokesman mentioned it

bidexiii:
Dude take it easy, General or No General. You want mass arrest
Trust the Army intelligence they'll get to the root and find the killers.
Only one Rtd Gen I know of , that the killers have not been caught till date.

Which rtd gen bro

Xbee007:
The terrorists we are fighting believe victory is from God alone. We also believe victory is from God alone. This means losses can also be attributed to God alone. This is a bad mindset for a professional army. If you do not accept the reality that the losses you suffer are highly likely because of your inadequacies, then the chances that you will suffer such loss again is high. It is also this mindset that makes some of our soldiers behave recklessly, not wearing helmet or bulletproof vest. And why we are still stuck with this soft skin vehicles.

Omo Wetyn concern motto and how soldiers fight and act in battle or what terrorists believe
So if Taliban or Isis changes their motto to "this we'll defend" that officially makes US army motto ridiculous

Xbee007:
Nigerian Army motto is plain ridiculous. It needs to be changed.

"Victory is from God alone" is ridiculous

That's one of the best motto out there to me tho
Sounds peaceful and dangerous at the same time .

Yes, it covers Nigeria's entire coastline. I think there are about 15 base stations right from calabar to badagry.

Alright thanks
I hope we recreate this on the land borders

Nigeria's advanced maritime security surveillance system, Falcon Eye

Bro do you know whether the system covers Nigeria's total coastline

Oladeligt:
Check his latest status, he is not happy that his story was shared on Nairaland. I can't fault him though.

Bro please can you screenshot where he said he's not happy that his story was shared here.

youghs:
The End.
May God bless these guys

While reading through this story, I just imagined how the battles would have been swift and decisive with proper and precise air cover. Just 2 A29 super tucano in that 7 hour battle would have been able to take out about 60 strategic equipment or post within 10 min with APKWS while 2 armoured bell or EC350 helicopter gunners feast on the fleeing remnants. With this kind of air support, the battle would not even last 30 min.

WTF is an APC doing inside NDDC Office

2 ST1 In North East

Wreckage of the vehicle involved in the accident

SamuelAnyawu:
I really don’t know about this. But we averagely have almost 2 battalions in each of the 27 LGA in Borno state.

I know about 4 Brigade ( Gwoza, Bama, Dikwa/Marte, Damboa and Monguno which looks bigger than a Brigade)

If we know the number of personnel per Brigade or Battalion we might have a rough estimate.

I think a brigade is 3k to 5k troops while a battalion is 600 to 1k troops.

bidexiii:
Sorry just saw this now.
Sorry bro that would be somehow classified, for so many reasons by the NA HQ Authorities.
But let me give you a rough estimate, I'll say close to an 100,000 soldiers.
This is my own assumption

Ahah bro

I asked the abakar guy, he said no one died

Stormtrooper11:
We didn't really need to increase VAT to7%. It was unnecessary. What were we doing with the 5% VAT?.
Nigeria's major sources of income are: taxes, port tariffs and oil exports. In recent years the FIRS, had been performing splendidly. Look, but its still not close. I go to the market almost daily to purchase foodstuffs. I see how market women are extorted by tax collectors. In a day, 10 different people can collect tax from a single stall. My point is, we are not even organized in grassroot taxation. Statistics might state otherwise, stats might say taxation is low, but actually people are extorted of their incomes daily. All these are reasons for our inflation and increase in prices of foodstuffs, coupled with insecurity.
We are a country that live with assumptions. We don't even have accurate data. We just use estimates. If you have stayed in rural areas, you will understand. I don't oppose increment in taxation. But we should be accountable. Taxes shouldn't be mismanaged

The VAT at 7% is still low bro.
Increasing our tax to GDP ratio means reducing tax evasion, revenue leakages, widening tax net and not just by increasing tax rate.
I don't know why it's so hard to do, Even many African countries have moved towards this path but we are still stuck with resource based revenue.

Stormtrooper11:
Negative. its not a single reason.

That's the main thing. Without money you're just worthless man, you won't be able to fight corruption, provide security, provide infrastructure or social amenities and so on.

Go and make research about countries who are around or on the same level as us with respect to revenue/tax to GDP ratio and you'll see similarities of issues.

Nigeria's economy is top 30 in the world, but revenue/tax to GDP ratio ranks below 100 countries(one of the lowest in the world).
