Faithful007: How so convenient that the biggest beneficiary of the deal was the investigator and eventually found no evidence of human rights abuses committed by Emiratis in Yemen. And I guess the policy wasn't there when Saudi Arabia got there arms deal pushed through both Trump and Biden administration. There is lip service and there is also lobbying which is perfectly legal in US. US defense industry does not spend $2.5 billion sponsoring and lobbying lawmakers for fun. If it were a solid policy, the Nigerian Airforce will have zero A-29 super tucanos today, oh I guess they also investigated and found no evidence of human rights abuses. "A legislative effort to stop the sales failed in December, as Trump's fellow Republicans in Congress backed his plans." https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/exclusive-biden-administration-proceeding-with-23-billion-weapon-sales-uae-2021-04-13/ 8 Likes |

Faithful007: Yen yen yen. Do you live in US to know how many unarmed citizens have been by the US cops? So are you telling me George Floyd was armed, because he was killed right? Or a young man killed on a highway in his car, few months after the killing of Floyd was also armed, right? How about a lady that was killed, because she was fighting a white girl, was she also armed? They are countless of videos that shows how unarmed citizens were killed in US. You are very ignorant, and just a mere critics, don't ever quote me again, I have nothing to do with you. 2 Likes |

Whyem15: I am afraid that I do not agree with you about this bro. Those soldiers that flog people for wearing certain haircuts or clothes are you going to say they are suffering from PTSD or drug addiction? Even common cadets have been interviewed on TV and have made known the fact that they are joining the armed forces for the sole purpose of showing hell to us bloody civilians. And we are talking about cadets that have yet to go to war o. Is it PTSD they are suffering from? That female cadet that was slapping the man that told her she was beautiful, you go tell me she just came back from Sambisa and was all shook up from the experience? Hell, the Nigerian police force and SARS used to operate death camps all over the country where they cheerfully murdered thousands of innocents and dumped their bodies anywhere they wished. There are even allegations some of those murdered had their organs removed for sale. Are you going to tell me the Nigerian police and SARS were doing all this because they were suffering from the PTSD they acquired from battling Shekau? Check out the USA. It has been at war with other countries for much of this and the other century. How many of its soldiers have been recorded oppressing and killing its own citizens without mercy in the streets? Can you even imagine a US veteran suffering from PTSD or whatever slapping a civilian and getting away with it? Can you? The fact remains that the sole reason why the Nigerian armed forces and all armed institutions of the state kill and go as they wish is that they suffer zero consequences for their misdeeds. Amnesty International might wail and screech, but serious consequences seldom befalls these cold blooded murderers and that's why a soldier can shoot to kill at you for no reason at a checkpoint secure in the knowledge that nothing go happen. That's why policemen can look you in the eye and boldly say "I will kill you and nothing will happen". Just recently, armed men killed a soldier in Imo. Did they chase after them? No! They went on rampage around the area killing and burning. Are you going to say it was PTSD that made the soldiers not chase after the armed men that killed one of them and instead decide to visit their wrath on those who are defenseless and had nothing to do with what happened? So, please dead that PTSD and hard drug talk. It's nonsense. They kill us because they know we are unarmed and can't do anything and not because of any drug or PTSD. If we get gun them go fear us and stop all this nonsense. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Danish frigate kills four pirates in Gulf of Guinea Written by Reuters -25th Nov 2021341 A Danish frigate has killed four pirates in waters south of Nigeria in an operation to protect shipping in the Gulf of Guinea, the Danish military said on Thursday. The Esbern Snare, deployed last month to the Gulf of Guinea amid heightened security risks from pirates, on Wednesday spotted a fast-moving vessel carrying eight suspected pirates near a number of commercial ships, the Danish military said. The incident took place in international waters, 25 to 30 nautical miles south of Nigeria’s territorial boundary, a spokesman said. The motorboat, spotted by a helicopter deployed by the frigate, was carrying equipment associated with piracy, including ladders. After the frigate fired warning shots, the pirates opened fire on Danish navy special forces, who in turn shot and killed four pirates and wounded one, the Danish military said in a statement. The remaining four pirates were taken on board the frigate, and no Danish personnel were hurt in the incident, the military said. It was the first time the frigate had opened fire during its current mission to the Gulf of Guinea, the spokesman said. The Gulf of Guinea has been a piracy hot spot for years, but incidents have decreased since national authorities stepped up security efforts aided by foreign naval ships. American, British, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese navies have also sent assistance, ships or training forces over the past year to tackle piracy after a record 130 sailors were taken from vessels in the region in 2020. Piracy and armed robbery incidents dropped to 28 in the first nine months of 2021, compared with 46 in the same period in 2020, according to the International Maritime Bureau. Separately, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and opposition lawmaker Jakob Elleman had both planned to visit the frigate during a visit to Ghana on Wednesday and Thursday. They were not on board during the incident, which Frederiksen said was likely to have averted attacks on commercial ships in the gulf. The frigate will operate in the region until April next year. 1 Like |

Whyem15:If the executive government were to have their way, most of the deals will go through. Congress involves a lot more players who are more ordinary and biased in thinking. Also, some Saudi deals were blocked by Biden due to Khashoggi issues, I believe. As for the A29s, there are two sides to it. One is the commitment to fight terrorism, second is human rights. 1 Like |

dragon2: Shouldn't Buhari invite the Danish High Commissioner in Nigeria for discussions? Whether incident took place on international waters, if it was within sniffing distance of Nigeria's territorial water, we need to raise concerns; we don't want to be taken for granted. Inconsequential or not, as far as in international standings, we need to make Western nations tell us we’re inconsequential by kicking up a fuss. Let us be inconsequential disgracefully not politely…. 5 Likes |

JOSCOFELIX: Rather than wait till the time the attack will be carried out before deploying aircrafts for air support, the Airforce should scout out the location the terrorists are likely to attack for the gathering terrorist and destroy them. Even if it is one of the three terrorists groups they are able to destroy before the time of attack, it will significantly improve the chances of fending of the attacks in the remaining two locations. 5 Likes |

dragon2: There were quite a few misguides contributors here , who claimed piracy is on the decline. Some suggested that it was outside our territorial waters the engagement by the Russian Navy. Othersa said the international intervention force is just here for training, etc . I even got called ignorant by some. This year l had a quite a few things to do in the DELTA and from my estimation only about 30% of incidents are reportedly particularly at local level and not all incidents vwith international vessels are reported. Piracy is absolutely rife and booming in the area. Reports from the ICC (see below) incidents recorded are up until March 2022 and we have already exceeded number of incidents in 2020. But to some we are progressing and doing well. Imagine the state of affairs if the international intervention force was not deployed in the Gulf of Guinea. 3 Likes 2 Shares

Let's discuss the highlited. Maybe investing in more air assets and offshore naval outposts?, instructing ships to stay as close to the coast as it is safe for them. The pirates will not simply find other jobs to do, they will keep attempting to adapt to the new challenges, the relevant agencies must also keep improving. 4 Likes |

Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by GeneralFarouq: 7:47pm On Nov 26, 2021 |
Faithful007:A good way to learn is to shut up, watch and or listen to experienced pple. This is what the army does, always willing to send it personnel for training it can do at home... but see the police doing ITK. There is basically no harm except to safegaurd their ego. Also, did Germany specifically request for untrained recruits... We can send the already trained officers to learn additional skills who will then comeback and drill what was learnt into cadet and recruit alike... NPF ain't ready for transformation But, before I shoot NPF, 30,000 police ain't a joke what does Germany stand to gain from this. Let's not forget the EU -Belarus border crisis. Secondly What does NPF mean by difference in societies... Do the mean citizens of Germany understand their right and thus must be treated with respect while handling protest... Where as Nigerians are helpless?. I don't understand this point, they need to expatiate. 3 Likes |

Inler77:Well, It should be IMO. Police are for the civilians and not insurgents. I don't want to make any lengthy opinion on this, to avoid insults. But every nation that achieved admirable political progress had some level of assistance from others. Just like Germany, with Western assistance, has progressed to have a police structure that is very different from the Gestapo era. Nobody grows alone. What is bad about training AT LEAST 30000 personnel on protest handling, that you just throw away because of pride? When you see you have a serious problem with handling protests! 3 Likes |

GeneralFarouq:It was a free offer to support the Transformation agenda of the Nigerian Police. Sort of Bilateral assistance. The problem here is that Nigerians seem to have a bloated view of themselves. And the world, especially the West, feels Nigeria is slipping into collapse but are not doing anything much to stem it. Nigeria's collapse will trigger so many things that will affect the West a lot. Complex intractable multifaceted wars. Humanitarian crisis like never before ( think of the population of Nigeria) Serious refugee crisis (No neighboring country can hold Nigerians successfully) Spike in terrorism Oil and gas supply breakdown. 1 Like |
