JOSCOFELIX: Which intel do you have on Abatcha before his death? He is not even on the 1st 100 NA Iswap most wanted list, so who promoted him above over 100 commanders? It's normal for field commanders to gain popularity amongst small groups of cladestine fighters, Abatcha is too low in the food chain, don't be deceived. 2 Likes |

jpphilips:The issue is not even with NA, rather with the first series of Twitter accounts that first mention the names before NA add it to their press release. NA gets most of these obscure names from self acclaimed terrorism experts on Twitter. These people have also consistently planted fake news that bring ridicule to Nigerian Military. I don't trust them at all. 6 Likes |

ISWAP clad commanders differently from other fighters, once NA scores, they cross reference with their list, interview captured fighters for identification, that is the beauty of ops safe corridor, those turn coat fighters provide intelligence such as this for the NA |

Nigeria may experience blackout as bandits threaten takeover of Shiroro hydropower station! Bandits operating in over 50 communities in Niger State, may take over the control of Shiroro Power station, located in Shiroro Local Government Area of the North Central State, lawmakers have warned. The Minority Caucus of the National Assembly, led by the Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, when they visited Senator Clifford Ordia representing Edo Central Senatorial District. Ordia was attacked twice by suspected bandits last week while returning to Abuja from Edo State. The two attacks reportedly happend in Kogi State and Abaji area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The Minority Caucus, while lamenting the security situation in the country, revealed that bandits were at the verge of taking control of Shiroro Power station and may shutdown or blow up the facility. The Shiroro Power station is a hydroelectric power plant on the Kaduna River in Niger State. It has a power generating capacity of 600 megawatts (800,000 hp) enough to power over 404,000 homes. It contributes a significant megawatts to the national grid and supplies power to many states in North Central and North Western parts of the country. “The security situation is now very bad. Bandits may take over Shiroro Power Station. They may take over and blow up the place if the government doesn’t do the needful. That’s more trouble for us. It has never been this bad,” Abaribe said during the visit. Only a fortnight ago, Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State, warned that Boko Haram had already infiltrated the state and had not only hoisted their flags in captured villages, including Kaure Village in the Shiroro Local Government of the state, but had also forcefully allocated displaced women to themselves as wives. The Governor had warned that Sambisa was several kilometers from Abuja, but Kaure was just two kilometers from Abuja, insisting that nobody is safe anymore not even residents of the nation’s capital. Speaking on the security situation in Nigeria, Abaribe said: “It happens. It happened to me in the East and my policeman was killed. These bandits are sophisticated. Abuja to Lokoja is a death trap. If it were to be in another country, they would have set a trap for these bandits. But we are different in Nigeria. “Its unfortunate that APC came into power. If APC had not come in, Jonathan’s Government would have handled the insecurity problem. Nigeria is in too much trouble. We have to do everything to salvage the situation. We need to meet as a minority and decide on how to handle certain issues like Electoral Amendment Bill. “We don’t want to fall into any trap. Let’s learn lessons from it. It’s obvious that traveling by road is now dangerous. No matter what you do, you must use the road. We need to continue to shout. If we stop, the rest of the country will feel despondent.” Ordia while speaking on his ordeal, said something urgent needs to be done to salvage the situation and confront non-state actors threatening the peace of Nigeria. When Daily Sun spoke with the Special Assistant, Media, to the Minister of Power, Mr Aaron Artimas, he said that the story was false because the minister has not shared it with him and he had not read it on all his platforms. “Well, I am hearing this from you. I did not see it on my platforms today. Well, I don’t think it is true. Nobody has told me and the minister has not shared anything like that with me. I will find out and get back to you” he promised. https://www.energymixreport.com/nigeria-may-experience-blackout-as-bandits-threaten-takeover-of-shiroro-hydropower-station/ 1 Like |

fufubear: He was referring to the Type 56 as a whole. As for the OBJ006, a soldier friend I know complained bitterly about the rifle, claiming that the barrel tends to buckle/bend when it overheats in firefights with Boko Haram. Now I'm no soldier and I can't very this claim, but I have no reason to doubt his complaints, and if true it places our troops in unnecessary danger. In all, I think a lot needs to be done. In the present age we're in, we should phase out some firearms, or better still improve of them. The nation needs to do better for our troops 1 Like |

Boko Haram Kidnapped Greenfield University Students, Not Bandits — Sheikh Gumi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C2YD4Mq8qc Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has stated that Boko Haram terrorists are the ones behind the abduction of students of Greenfield University, Kaduna. Twenty-two students and a member of staff of the institution were abducted from the school campus along the Kaduna-Abuja highway on April 20 and within a week, five of them were killed. In a recent interview with the Hausa Service of Voice of America (VOA), a leader of the bandit group who identified himself as Sani Idris Jalingo, threatened that if the Kaduna State Government or their families failed to pay a ransom of N100 million as well as provide them with 10 brand Honda motorcycles by Tuesday, the remaining students would be killed. Gumi, in an interview with AIT on Tuesday, said Boko Haram members were behind the abduction. When asked by the presenter if he indeed mentioned that Boko Haram was behind the abduction, Sheik Gumi said, ''Yes, really. When we tried to trace them and put some sense into them, the contact who is also a nomadic Fulani, they threatened him. They said if he insists on them they were going to catch him and he will have to pay a ransom before he gets out. “And the leader is from Jalingo. He is from Adamawa. He is not the local Fulani we have here. So this means that the Northeastern element is coming into this area and we have to move fast. We don't have that luxury of time. “I have been trying to speak with the government but nobody is really trying to listen to me or speak with me on this issue. We are trying to pacify and remove this banditry and they are responding.'' In his reaction to the stance of the Kaduna state government against negotiating with bandits, Sheikh Gumi said, ''Five souls were killed. Why? What amount of money is too big for us to save the lives of those five students, what amount of money? Secondly, we can give them the money to get the boys out of danger then go after our money. Nobody is saying you shouldn't find them, you can get the two back. “To say you will not negotiate with them and also not take action against them, I cannot understand that.'' http://saharareporters.com/2021/05/04/boko-haram-kidnapped-greenfield-university-students-not-bandits-%E2%80%94-sheikh-gumi. |

The Army got N1,008.84 trillion as budget releases between January 2019 and this year’s first quarter, Finance, Budget and National Planning Minister Hajiya Zainab Ahmed told the Senate on Tuesday. Mrs. Ahmed made the revelation when she appeared before the Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume-led Senate Committee on Army. Citing a letter from the Chief of Defence Staff last week, Ndume said the military authorities complained that they had a shortfall of over N50 billion as far as fund releases from the Finance ministry was concerned. Ahmed, however, gave the breakdown of how her ministry disbursed N1,008.84 trillion to the Army in the past two years as follows: N129.69 billion (Capital Expenditure); N39.76 billion (Overhead Cost); N681.79 (Personnel Cost); and N157.6 billion (Special Releases). She said that the ministry has been “responsible and responsive” in providing funds for the Nigerian Army. Mrs. Ahmed said: “The Ministry of Finance and National Planning, and indeed, the President, priorities are given to funding for the Armed of Forces of Nigeria. https://thenationonlineng.net/army-got-n1-08tr-in-28-months-finance-minister-tells-senate/ 1 Like |

ocelot2006: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFhIBaB7MRk Watch the video again. He specifically says the early Type 56s were fine but it was in the 90s after China started using type 95s and the US banned Chinese AK imports that the quality became garbage because there was no control over the quality anymore. There were still some issues with some military rifles but they weren't design issues but quality control that came as a result of streamlining production. As for the story you told it is possible that soldiers weapon is old and was improperly maintained (not his fault could be improper storage by the Army) or maybe he just got a bad rifle. The thing is even if he had an AK-12 it would have been the same because those issues aren't specific to the rifle but the production quality/maintenance. |

Can't we pay Russia to do a bombing raid on terror hotspots? They have long-range bombers capable of holding dozens of high yield bombs. They can codedly carry out their own isr and then do the needful when they are done. All these piecemeal bombs we're dropping on terrorists have no major impact. They use advance tunnels to store their weapons and secure their personnels in bombing raid. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Xbee007: I have been saying this for long, our air strikes are against well spaced enemies, and the power of our bombs are too little to do any major damage, if we could have 6 alpha jets and 2 attack helicopters on interdiction, it would have been more better, thank God the jf17 are here, they have more payloads......even the bomb yield of our drones and super tucano are too little, but they make up for it, by been precise, so each bomb can actually hit something important, instead of the drop and pray. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Took place somewhere in Imo state and we can see the live action unfold from the recording, the gunmen overpowered the soldiers after killing I believe two of them while the rest ran away, and the military truck was seized. Twitter link: https://twitter.com/Truthfully83/status/1389972721749184513 Nigerian soldiers were attacked and killed in onitsha. Even in onitsha, against UGM, the Nigerian army personnel left their vehicle and made a tactical withdrawal for their dare lives  Just imagine if those guys were not armed, the Nigerian army will surely show their gallantry against unarmed people. 2 Likes |

DubaiLandLord1: I suspect Nigeria soldiers don’t flee in situations like this out of cowardliness or lack of commitment to soldering for Nigeria but because fleeing is the only option they left for themselves due to poor planning and danger anticipation. The key to sustaining a battle situation lies in adopting the right approach at the outset. It seems to me this is the difference between Nigerian solders apparent cowardliness and say the British, French or American soldiers successes in similar situations. |

hunter21: It isn't a function of olodo, but limited resources....how many alpha jets does Nigeria have that they would put 6 in the air at once? Something tells me that most of our mi24 and mi35 are grounded, they would have been the best platforms for interdiction....but not with the s5 rockets they use.... instead a mix if s8 and s13 rockets would have been better. And one way to know most military commentators just like regurgitating News and faking on my radar and Intel, is that they missed something very glaring.....the self propelled howitzer gotten from China sh1 and I can't remember the other name.....are not all 105mm, they are a mix of 105mm and 122mm, consult your pictures for confirmation. |
