zukasteve: I really would have loved to make this argument, but this is a photos and videos only thread. However, the cenotaph isn't a memorial for all Nigerian troops, it is only a monument mounted in the cemetery in Abuja for troops buried in different parts of the country, who were KIA in this insurgency. We haven't yet seen a detailed image of the cemetery in Abuja. If you live in Abuja, you can do the honours for us. |

someone pls give links to those pics of nigeria's mi35 that the CH-3 drones could be seen in the background. There is one rude boy, who thinks and armed drone couldn't have been operated by Nigeria, i have to prove wrong here. He feels drones and Nigeria should never be mentioned in the same sentence. |

IbnSultaan:in most African cultures, the dead are buried where there great grandfathers were buried, under traditional burial ceremonies, and in most times, the soldiers coming to bury there friend are guests at the home of the dead soldier, (there not the ones in charge of the burial). in the case of Kenya, the family is usually compensated with there army insurance scheme scheme... I have seen memorial monuments where the name of fallen are written, but not cemeteries... the only cemetery I know of for soldiers is the one from world war 1, 2 and for fallen heroes during the fight for independence (I went there once, it was well gardened). and even for the cemetery, it was bcoz many died and there was no time to sort them out. there were only 1400 known graves out of thousand of graves... I think it's a bit unfair to be wondering how the military bury the dead........ in most African burials, there are no fancy stuff like stands, for the coffins, people don't necessarily have to wear black.... infact, in my our culture, people come to drink rum and dance the whole night before the day of burial (weird). I haven't seen a military burial, but I''ve seend one for police, there was the 21 gun salute, but locals were scared of the gun shots, some of them had never hard a gun sound b4. they dint seem to even understand what it was for, they had to be explained that it was a tradition for a hero's burial... I'll post pics of the Nairobi war cemetery though (later) |

denisfidha:But even when buried in private cemeteries, those who were KIA or retired commanders are buried with full military honours. The burial is usual conducted by military units. For example in SA: If one soldier deployed in the DRC gets KIA, a battalion let's say 9 SAI will conduct the burial with its commander(Lieutenant Colonel) present. |

MikeCZAR: The Presidential Guards Brigade. They are a branch of the Army responsible for security in the seat of power, the 3 arms zone (Aso Rock, National Assembly and the Supreme court). They also provide security in Abuja and environs, I.E, parts of Nassarawa state and Niger state. The Presidential Guards brigade commander receives his order from the president directly and not the COAS. The command isn't an Elite unit, although they have the 176 special forces battalion under it. 2 Likes |

bidexiii: First of, wikipedia isn't even a Source. Second anybody claiming the Nigerian Army has only 12 T-72 Tanks needs to get his brain checked up. Nigeria signed a contract with the Czech Defence contractor for 50+ T-72 Tanks and 15 other types of military equipment( IFV's, AFV's, Grad systems et al). 16 of those Tanks signed with Excalibur group comes from Hungarian surplus stock. T-72A tanks, while the rest would come from Czech republic stock (T-72CZM1). We currently operate : T-72B : T-72A : T-72CZM1 : T-72 AV My estimate is Nigeria currently has between 70- 85 T-72 Tanks used in Anti-Terror Operations. Those 16 T-72's are the only ones Air Freighted and not the total number of T-72's in N.A servicem |
