It seems you think fighting war is like a video game. The Nigerian army have been struggling against a ragtag Boko Haram but you feel they will be performing magic in Tigray... Issokay grin

You see nothing good even when it's glaring to the eyes. Pls read my updated commentary.

It's only in your world that Nigeria is "struggling" against a "rag-tag" boko haram. If BHT shows up in Ethiopia by now Addis Ababa will be calling the same Nigerian Army for help.

Your denial of reality holds nothing against the facts on ground. ISWAP/BHT has been reduced to bandits mostly scavenging for food in the harshlands of the Chadian Islands. They are a spent force and has already lost this war.

You can wish for it to be a thousand times different but that's never gonna happen.

Thanks.

Reps allege lopsidedness in Navy recruitment, demand suspension of exercise


The House of Representatives has said the ongoing recruitment exercise by the Nigerian Navy is unfair and not in compliance with the federal character principle in the Constitution, asking the military outfit to suspend the process.

The House particularly resolved to “direct the Nigerian Navy to suspend forthwith the forthcoming pre-screening exercise for the shortlisted candidates, with a view to strengthening the federal character law as well as to ensure better and more vigorous enforcement and implementation, knowing full well that every Nigerian deserves to be treated with dignity and rights, irrespective of where they may be located physically in the country.”

Also, the House requested the Navy to provide details of all recruitments from 2014 to date, showing their geographical spread.

Furthermore, the House mandated the Committee on Navy to “investigate the exercise and recommend appropriate measures to avoid similar constitutional violations in all future government recruitment and report back within 12 weeks for further legislative action.”

These resolutions were sequel to the unanimous adoption of a motion of urgent public importance to investigate the process of the Nigerian Navy Supplementary Recruitment of 44 candidates “for being against the principle of federal character and in gross violation of Section 14 of the 1999 Constitution.”

Sponsor of the motion, Ben Igbakpa, said all the successful candidates that are to report for training in two batches at the Nigerian Navy Basic Training School Onne, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, “are all from a particular part of the country, which negates the federal character principle of all inclusiveness, equity and fair play.”

Citing Section 14(3) of the 1999 Constitution, the lawmaker noted the underlying purpose of the principle in a multi-ethnic society as Nigeria is to ensure equal participation of the various ethnic extractions in the governance of the country.



According to him, the principle is also aimed at preventing the domination by one or some ethnic groups in the affairs of the country and the exclusion of other ethnic groups.

Igbakpa said, “The House is worried that, however, in practice, the principle appears to have been observed more in breach. Appointments and recruitments into the various ministries, departments and agencies both at the federal and state levels by successive administrations seem to be treated as a matter of political discretion, and those with the appointment and recruitment powers do not feel a legal duty to ensure an equitable spread of appointments and recruitments into the various government bodies.

“The House is further worried that this recruitment Supplementary list of 44 candidates, since it became public knowledge, has created a lot of tension, apprehension and discourse within the young and old from the deprived section.

“The House believes that adequate observance and implementation of the federal character principle will in no small measure allay fears of domination and denial by the ethnic minorities and invariably foster national unity.”

I expect the Nigerian Navy to have release the main list by now, I wander what they are hiding.

Is so funny that the Chief of Naval staff that is from a landlock region is doing this such of trash. Yet,them go scream say people like us no dey patriotic grin

Determined to provide security to vulnerable schools in Kaduna State ,the state Command of Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC ) has on Wednesday, launched a Rapid Response Squad (RSS) that will intensify surveillance and patrol for schools safety.

Speaking during the launch at theCommand’s state headquarters on Wednesday,
Commandant Godwin Miebi, State Commandant of NSCDC Kaduna Command, said the development arose from their desire to provide the needed Security in schools considered to be vulnerable, and to respond swiftly and effectively in times of distress.

He said “this is a deliberate strategy to support the Safe School Initiative, introduced by our amiable Commandant General, Ahmed Abubakar Audi.”

“In doing this, our operatives have undertaken assessment of schools in the state to ascertain the vulnerability of each, and strategies have been mapped out to ensure optimum results of our planned actions,” he said.

He expressed believe that working in synergy with other security agencies and with the support of Kaduna residents, attacks on schools in the state would be checkmated as opposed to the current trend of making schools a high target.

“It is also worthy of note that the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) will serve as reinforcement to the existing Agro Rangers which has been deployed to protect farmers and Agro allied investments.”

“Permit me to salute the support of voluntary security organisations like Hunters Group of Nigeria and Kaduna Vigilance Service.The collaboration of the duo with us is yielding fruitful result and I urge them to continue with it,” he said.

In an interview with journalists shortly after the launch, Commandant Miebi
said the RRS may not be permanent at a particular school but they will be patrolling and keeping surveillance over these vulnerable schools that have been identified.

According to him,”they will also attend to distress calls anywhere, besides these schools They will also attend to where critical national assets are vandalised .”

He therefore called on residents of Kaduna state to avail the Command with information anytime there is a security breach.

The Corps,he said,was not doing things alone but in synergy with other security organisations.

He said in collaboration with other security agencies they would ensure the level of insecurity is being addressed minimally, to the benefit of citizens.

He explained that their concentration would not be only in the metropolis as they’ve their men in all the 23 Local Government Areas of the state,even as plans were on the way to replicate the Rapid Response Squad in all the Local Government Areas across Kaduna State.

15. Gentlemen of the press, gleaning from the updates from the various theatres of operations as I have highlighted, there is no gain saying there is relative reduction in the spate of incidents in the various theatres of operations. However, in the course of these operations, some of our troops paid the supreme price and some others sustained varying degrees of injuries. The Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies will continue to forestall the activities of the enemies of our dear Country. Thus we have intensified our aggressive posture to reduce the activities of criminal elements. We have also intensified intelligence surveillance reconnaissance operations in all theatres of operations and main criminals’ logistics supply routes to frustrate movement of arms and ammunition as well as other unlawful items to criminal elements using various NAF platforms. The NAF also dominated the airspace within all theatres and provided close air support for ground troops during their operations.

16. The Military High Command lauds the efforts of the troops for their resilience and unrelenting commitment and further encourages the general public to support our efforts by providing credible and timely information that will facilitate our proactive engagements.

17. Thank you and God bless. Pictures of some incidents from the various operations are available for you necessary action.

Of course I meant that in a good way about Nigeria obviously. I simply insinuated that Nigeria has clout and influence in Africa that would precipitate a broader support of Africa's leaders in physical manpower and resources if we were to fight a near peer foreign power something Ethiopia can't muster nor the leverage to do so. About performance Nigeria is too sophisticated, modern, powerful and advanced a military to be compared with Ethiopia. Recent perfomances in the field also buttress that fact. What the TDF did to the Ethiopian military is beyond embarrassing. Ethiopia simply doesn't have the resources.

If Nigeria enters Tigray now they would sue for peace in a fortnight. Nigeria arguably is the only military in Africa that has proven since the 60's and modern times the capability and capacity to win wars on its own terms. Though right now we have a faceless mortal enemy willing to die we don't really know his exact address despite that we have done creditably well under this new kind of assymetric warfare something attested to by the United States which has itself absconded from a similar fight in Afghanistan.

Below is the disgrace of the Ethiopian Defense Force by the TDF. A parade of Ethiopian POWs.

At some point in 2014 BOKO HARAM was considered the second deadliest terrorist group in the world after ISIS.

Today Talibans are suddenly more powerful than almost every terrorist group.
