I agreed with you. Boko Haram does not have the means to take a jet down. They are being aided. Also, there is an insider's deal. There are enemies within.

The cases of Afghanistan and Syria showed what can happen anywhere you have foreign interest backing.

When there was a failed coup attemp in Niger Republic few days ago, a Former US Sahel envoy J Peter Pham tweeted that both the President-lect and outgoing President Mahamadou Issoufou were safe. Also, there was a time a military Armoured vehicle was intercepted by the customs after it was cleared from Lagos Port. It took almost a week before it was found out that the Tank belongs to US for an undisclosed operation at Niger Republic.

Former U.S. Sahel envoy is still monitoring events at Niger Republic. This means he was in the U.S. Intelligence Service when he was posted as an envoy. Nigeria also post people from NIA as envoys .

What is happening now is very clear. So many things are happening around Boko Haram and ISWAP issue. Some are working as espionage / informants and negotiators, some want to sell their war equipment. This is the major reason Buhari didn't want to change the Service Chiefs. They want to frustrate and push new service chief to fresh negotiations. I really sympathize with NAF losing one jet per month . How many operational jets do we have?

I think we all know that internal and probably external interests are involved in the affairs of Boko Haram and ISWAP.

Thats why I think it is best to cut that region loose. It pains me when I see boys from the south losing their lives for a pointless conflict fanned by sympathetic elements in the very same north itself. Mtcheww

Yeye region and conflict..

Understand my statement BH can't can never shoot done a jet without error from the pilot..
Tell me what BH has that can shoot down a jet not on ground level

Stinger (MANPADS) is sold at $38,000 USD or more and could be obtained from the illegal market. It is an RPG unit on steroid. Instead of firing a dumb grenade, Stinger fires heat-seeking missile. It is shoulder carried and incorporated radar system. It can down any jetfighter within the range of surface-to-air missile.

Planned script by the fulani jihadist... How can an ordinary RPG shoot down a fast flying jet fighter, when it is not guided with signal or heat seeking device? Was it flying two feet above the ground to be gunned down easily when it isn't helicopter?

I believe their flight path and height was leaked to BH by their brothers in the army, so they could position well to shoot it down.

They keep sending southerners in their compromised army to their early grave. keeping the south weakened militarily.

Well, if any southerner thinks serving together with BH sympathizers in a compromised army like Nigeria's is Patriotism and not foolishness, RiP in advance to him.

Buhari will never allow Boko Haram to be defeated.

Boko Haram is Buhari and also Fulani herdsmen.

We are just wasting lives "awon omolomo" on something drones can do. They went for reconnaissance not engagement. Drones can do it better. In fact, advanced nations even use drones to engage.

I feel you but I no dey line of blames. I prefer solutions.


Every state in Nigeria is in the borderline of stone ages. When compared to the height We suppose dey. We all have work to do. And it will be faster and have more quality if all hands(corners) are on deck.
Yes I believe we all have work to do as u said, but the big question is whether the leaders want it?

I believe they're many officers qualified for all these post but due to nepotism and tribalism he only conciders a particular section of the country, is that how we're going to work together?

Until they shun nepotism and embrace competency nothing will work.

How can a rag tag army shoot down a jet with ordinary AA gun, a supersonic jet though an ancient jet per say, but if those boys knew what they're were doing they don't suppose to fly too low with that shitty box blc I believe it won't have state of the art warning or missile deterrent system.

Pls don't comment out of emotion or hatred for others, u can never ever be a good leader. You need to re-read the news and see what they've allegedly used to shoot it down.
During GEJ administration u refused to believe any news abt Boko Bokoharam which their activities started since OBJ regime and became terrorists group under ur demigods party.
What happened now is nothing compared to the war horror BH unleashed on people between 2011-2015. Nobody will force u to believe BH activities is drastically decapitated from a group terrorising abt 12 states and Abuja to only Borno and Yobe state.
Go and read how strong BH is, the sophisticated communication gadgets they use, the weapins they use, BH has better drones than Nigerian military, they so often intercept military signal. So this isn't something new, our only concern is for the military to stop giving us false hope that they defeat these people rather they should mind their business.
I really doubt the intellect of people like you who can't see, listen and comprehend eventualities but rather accept any conspiracy feed into your head.
When GEJ was President, almost all northerners believed he was the main actor behind BH killings in the North just because of intolerance & dangerous politicking. Now, PMB become President the game has shifted from North to south, as Southerners are now accusing him of being behind all current mayhem because of the same reason.
Most Nigerians don't know anything in their religion except extreme hatred, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance. Religion is a disaster to many Nigerians!
May we live long to witness more elections; in 2023 there is potential of new faces out of the circle of GEJ and PMB. A new conspiracies will keep coming untill we buy sense.
I seriously challenge the mental capacity of people like u who can't use their brain to see things beyond politics.
Let see who you'll accuse after PMB is out of power!

What facts have you provided beyond believing propaganda footage? Thats right none.

Have I provided examples from multiple military aircraft scenarios, yes.

Thats why I said at this point I have little interest in arguing with a man who displays little knowledge of jets or the type of technology required to down them.

Even the Me262 arguably one of the first military jets (aside from the British Gloster Meteor) was so fast, the only way to destroy it during WW2 (over 70 years ago) was when it was on the ground or either taking off or landing..

So the idea of a modern jet which is even faster and more advanced being downed by small arms fire is even more ridiculous to be honest.

Since when Alpha jets modern?

Not every army can operate any weapon. I guess the rank of Boko Haram has swollen by people who can really read and comprehend. You must have a brain development beyond high school level to operate certain technological advanced weaponry.

Not true. Alpha jets are constructed for low level operations too. Not every jet fighter is high altitude operator.

Boko haram has a share in your military's yearly budget.
