Boko Haram from their youtube display now has sophisticated weapons that even scare Nigerian Military. The way they got those weapons (e.g: APC, RPG, GPMG, assault rifles, etc) is the way they will soon get aircraft to fight Nigeria.

Nigeria being the greatest grand force in Africa can handle this Boko Haram issue, only if Nigeria key players stop playing politicians with this issue.

How did you know they are planning to get a War Aircraft?

We are watching

Keep insulting the OP instead of growing up, taking adult responsibility for your future and discerning what truly matters. What has the OP said that is incorrect? Under GEJ we have a 'disinterested' and weak Government capable of letting Boko Haram become whatever the terror group aspires to.

When a well-sponsored terror group begin 'claiming' territory inside a sovereign nation then anything can happen. Call the OP whatever you want. It is clear you prefer to think and talk like a child while the OP is just an adult dealing with the reality of how things are changing for Nigeria.

Propaganda chief and comrade of BH that is what the op is. Keep doing what you know best to to.

@OP

With our mix of hideously corruptly institutions and a totally inept and 'compromised' federal government, Boko Haram can really become a nightmare it has no business transforming into if Nigeria is even a half serious Nation. It is important for Nigerians to understand that terror groups do not conform to anyone's rules but their own. They will become whatever distracted and unserious political leadership allow them to be. History gives us many example of this.

AllahCock: Yeah! I heard they ordered a C-130 Gunship complete with Gatling gun and they just signed a contract with JB to build the longest Military runnway for Allah's Glorious AirForce

lol,
their aircraft carrier is also on the way built to operate in lake chad. Unlike US Nimitz, the bokoharam aircraft carrier can carry 500 f16 fighter jets and can also fly. It has enough fuel and supplies to go on for 300yrs.
There has been talks in Bokoharam high command to make the aircraft carrier invisible!

OP can give more details.

the energy with which you propagate boko haram issues is enough for you to get a life and be a meaningful citizens.

check nairaland for all your post on boko haram and show me which of them is a constructive criticism that is expected of a real Nigerian. Even Tinubu and Buhari dont sound this unpatriotic .

Before you start your usual insults , please show us evidence of your contribution to a better Nigeria or you are one of those who believe they must be in the seat of power before making positive impact.

The kind of funding sustaining the Boko Haram terror group is evident in the convoys of brand-new pickup trucks, in the formidable light infantry arsenal the gang fields, and in the sheer numbers of full-time and part-time rented gunmen converging on Nigeria from all points north in the African continent.

Retaining the services thousands of armed men costs tens of thousands of dollars per month in salaries alone, and even if much of the weaponry was acquired at black-market discount prices from the pillaged armory warehouses of post-Ghadaffi Libya, suffice to say it does call for DEEP pockets to fight a multi-front war such as the one currently smoldering in north eastern Nigeria.

While the Nigerian Air Force will always maintain firm control and decisive air-superiority over the territorial skies of Nigeria from the desert to the sea, the resourcefulness of the enemy facing the Nigerian state must NEVER be under-estimated. Combat air patrols must be intensified over the entirety of Nigerian airspace, and clear identification protocol established between the Nigerian Air Force and all commercial airline operators whose jets traverse Nigerian airspace.

An area of vulnerability exists with respect to low-altitude general-aviation traffic, so particular attention must be paid to friend-or-foe verification codes issued to both corporate and privately owned helicopters and fixed wing birds, such that any "mystery" aircraft intruding on Nigerian airspace can be ordered by patrolling Nigerian Air Force pilots to either land where directed, or be shot down.

The average Boko Haram terror gang member may well be a stark illiterate former pan-handler, BUT, the shadowy pay masters, who assembled that fearsome war machine now scorching Nigerian soil, must be assumed capable of hiring freelance Russian or Libyan pilots skilled enough to create minor mischief by dropping the odd bomb on civilian populations beyond the immediate theater of war, before fleeing to escape responding air-force interceptors hurrying to the scene.

Aso rock comes to mind....

BokoHaram must not be underestimated


Do not forget that we Biafrans acquired old warplanes how much more BH

Defeat of BH must be speedily achieved

AllahCock:

Google Toyota Wars.

Boko Haram tactics are no different from that the Chadian Militia launched against Gaddafi's forces. The war was so brilliantly executed by the Chadians that Gaddafi was forced to withdraw from north Chad, a region he earlier annexed.

Most of the frontline forces used by Bokos are battle hardened veterans from this war.

As per funding you can ask, the entire northern Governors, Arewa, powerful business and political northerners andoff course the CIA.

The French air force played a vital role if I am correct

That is why we must quickly crush these guys before someone do the unthinkable

"Boko Haram used to telephone Nigerian journalists and give them a story, but that doesn't happen anymore," he said.
"They go straight to social media. They post their own material and they've learnt to become very savvy on social media and use it as an instrument to terrorise."

I would have mistaking you for one, but you don't fit the profile

M0r0n. You think I am an ethnocentric and sentimental waste of space like you who will blind himself to the obvious and is always prepared to lie to himself and others because of ethnic prejuidce and affiliation? I don't sugarcoat issues. I deal with reality. The reality being that this government, so far, has shown it is out of its debt and incapable of dealing with the menace of Boko Haram. It is ethnocentric bigots and emotionally immature folks like you who are the major problem with how you praise mediocrity and urge the rest of us to abide with it when, in serious Nation, issues will simply be about removing highly corrupt, failed and incapable hands and replacing such with leadership that can deliver results.

Abeg go and find an Igbo supremacy/Ojukwu/Biafra or "Chibok kidnapping is a scam" thread to rant on and stop disturbing a concerned Nigerian complaining, as the entire world does on our behalf also, against glaringly inept leadership costing innocent Nigerian lives and worsening an already grave situation with mindless corruption and self-serving indolence.

Jakumo!
Na you be dis?

AllahCock:

The French Air Force was on the side of the Chadians. They created a no fly zone inhibiting Libyan Air strikes on the Chadians on the ground.

The use of the rugged desert Toyota as a Technical was also very revolutionary as the rebels could quickly mobilize and evade Libyan Tanks coupled with the fact that the Chadian were so confident based on the fact they were always heavily d0ped out and believed in their voodoo. This made them invincible.

That is why I agreed with OP

Whoever is financing them , might do the unthinkable

why do u pple always want to fight, argue and abuse any time you read anything that LOOKS LIKE criticism to gej govt? You don't care if ur argument is sensible or not; you sha want to defend gej even if defending him makes you sound stupid.
What are you trying to insinuate now? That boko haram threat is not getting out of hands? That our military men are not poorly equipped to face them? That boko haram has not captured a section of nigeria? That boko haram is not capable of procuring war plane? Why are you seeing things from such a myopic angle? Is it because boko haram is still in the north and have not made serious incursion into the south and you therefore think the problem doesn't concern you? The person you quoted, what do you expect him to do? Is he in the military? Is he in charge of military financing and procurement? He only asked you to reason like a grown up and not like a child, but the ONLY meaning you could read in his comment is "war against gej"! You pple are now behaving like apc in the way you comment.

Kudos to u my brother. It is quite pathetic that some of us do not still realise d threat posed to every Nigerian by these boko haram insurgents just cos terror is not yet on our doorsteps.

Don't bother with that bigot. Everything begins and end for him with the blind defence of GEJ who is now universally deemed inept and incompetent over the handling of Boko Haram.

If Nigeria were a nation of people who think corretcly and prioritise appropriately then this failed Government would have been booted out long ago because the lives and security of Nigerians is far more valuable than to be sacrificed at the alter of bigotry and ethno-religious bias. The truth no honest person will deny is that GEJ is far, far out of his debt leading Nigeria in this very trying time.

Another APC lamentation thread again..

By the way where una go wen the military and foreign media's debunked the claim that Nigerian soldiers sought asylum in Cameroon

All of una vanish for that thread o

Witches and wizards, enemies of Nigeria.... E nor go better for una oooo.

Helicopters drop arms for insurgents —Borno, Yobe elders



Political and opinion elders in Borno and Yobe states have alleged that helicopters drop arms and ammunition, food and medicine to areas known to be strongholds of the members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, in the North-East.

They said the authorities in the states could not claim ignorance of the development and that it was a bad omen if a convoy of about 20 to 30 Toyota Hilux vehicles could move freely without being detected despite the curfew in place.

The elders, who spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, also asked the government to provide answer to the attack on the Maiduguri Air Force Base by insurgents, who reportedly de-mobilised and set ablaze aircrafts and other military facilities even with the existing state of emergency and curfew in the town.

Speaking under the aegis of Borno, Yobe People’s Forum, the elders also asked those in authorities to tell Nigerians those that authorised the withdrawal of security personnel from the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, few hours before the recent attack that claimed the lives of 59 innocent children.

A former Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Al-amin Dagash (retd.), spoke on behalf of the forum at the press conference.

Dagash was flanked at the press conference by a former Minister of Finance, Mallam Adamu Ciroma; a former Secretary to Government of the Federation, Ambassador Babagana Kingibe; an elder statesman, Shetima Mustapha and other political leaders from the two states.

He said, “Are the authorities unaware of helicopters dropping arms and ammunition, food and medical supplies to areas well known to be strong holds of the insurgents?

“How were the insurgents able to attack the Maiduguri Air-Force Base and demobilise as well as burn planes and other military installations despite existing state of emergency and curfew in the town? How could 20 to 30 Toyota Hilux vehicles move in a convoy freely with subsisting curfew and still go undetected?

“How did a little band of rag-tag misguided youths metamorphose into a well-kitted, well-armed killing machine moving freely in convoy of vehicles and supported by helicopters.

“How did the Shilka Tank, a multipurpose self propelled anti-aircraft artillery weapon, positioned to secure Giwa Barracks, fail to function resulting in heavy loss of lives of both civilian and military as widely reported in the media? Are we dealing with fifth columnists in this crisis?”

He wondered how the insurgents were able to kill Gen. Mohammed Shuwa, whom he described as a civil war hero, despite the presence of a military detachment in front of his home.

The retired Air Force chief asked the Federal Government to unmask those behind the “online media campaigns of calumny stirring ethno-religious intolerance in the country.”

He also asked the Federal Government not to extend the state of emergency declared in the three North-East states, saying that the action had failed to achieve its purpose.

The state of emergency, originally declared in May last year and renewed for another six months in November, expire on April 19, 2014.

Dagash said that about 18 communities had been attacked by insurgents in the last one month with heavy civilian casualties, adding that rather than abate, the insurgency had continued to escalate and daring.

He said, “The continuous bloodletting has led to the loss of over 17,000 lives. Official statistics released by the National Emergency Management Agency revealed that over three million people have been displaced by the insurgency and terrorist attacks in the affected states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa in the first three months of 2014 alone.

“Most of the victims are women, children and the elderly. These developments underscore the urgent need for the government, the international community, as well as all Nigerians to arrest the brewing humanitarian crises in the area.”

you are suffering from dementia hence your inability to make arguments without insulting forum members.

were in my post did i mention GEJ,boko haram strength or weakness or even that of the Nigerian Army.
my response to you is based on your comments on this forum and not this thread in particular. if you insulting others makes you feel good then go ahead but just know that each time you make such comments , you are telling the world how poor your parenting and up bring was because its only a person that suffered poor parenting that can not make an argument or involve in discussions without insulting those who see things differently.
