And the order for their procurement were made within the last 18months?
See with such post which tries to ascribe all the glory to Our One and Only Emperor Cassandra the great, you would only be digging the pit of propaganda deeper and steeper.
Governance is a continum, one government can't do it all alone, so stop with the propaganda already.

RADIOS IN THIS MODERN AGE, WHAT HAPPENED TO USE OF MOBILE PHONES

ocelot2006:



Funny, cos those new Harris field radios, along with the dedicated Ground Land Mobile System built by ZTE across the nation for the security services were all bought and paid for by the GEJ administration (and delivered). Same with those brand new weapons and systems used to execute this war. But hey, keep insulting GEJ. At least he outperformed Buhari in military acquisition.

wellmax:


So in your daft mind you think it take ten year to order simple communication equipment?
A simple online order will have them delivered within days. This post is about a governent that understands the necessities of a war.

spartan117:
I find dis post really difficult to belief since radio communication was used during d civil war Using wattsapp to communicate btw 2012 and 2014 just sounds 2 ridiculous
Dis must be another attempt to discredit d past administration

Who can remember a similar post made by whitebeard ...whitebeard over 2 u

whitebeard:
u got blasted bro...lol. Hahaha...

frenchwine:

My very smart friend, kindly tell us when the purchase order was placed or STFU.
It's obvious that you knows next to nothing about the public procurement act and moreso, military procurement.
You think this is some walkie-talkie which you can purchase from Amazon or Alibaba. SMH, millennial children.

Major gen shehu of nigeria led d African forces to Mali out of 1600 troops 1400 was from Nigeria. Air bombardment was carried out by d Nigerian airforce
You can Google it

Crap!! the Nigerian contingent in Mali was reduced to stop and search operations, France and Chad did all the job.

Adminisher:


He did not outperform Buhari in procurement.
You are making those in the know very angry.
You don't know what performance means.
The man was in office for six years. He bought weapons of total value of about $400million for about $5bn.
The weapons came late after being inflated and he had the effontery to dip into defence budget to share money to politicians most of whom were the ones who caused the problems in the first place.

That man was a total waste of oxygen.

Nigeria Airforce was supposed to be as good as Algeria with thay expenditure and we should be having about 400 battle tanks and armt least 600 MRAPs for the Army

Let us stop talking about Jonathan when it comes to defence history in Nigeria. His period was a period of disgrace

spartan117:

Get ur facts straight! Ask Google

ocelot2006:


The wrong assumption some of you make is that you think weapon systems are just bought off the shelf just like that. When an order is placed, it takes time before the combat platforms are delivered. At least within that period, the GEJ administration didn't just fold its arms and waited. Thanks to same administration, the nation sourced locally for some platforms like the Igirigi MRAPs, the AMEBO UAVs, the GULMA UAV project, the DICON-Marin Dolphin tactical vests, the Andoni Class Gunboats. Not only that it reactivated our Super Puma helicopter fleet along with additional C-130s, thus improving our tactical lift and air assault capabilities.

The same can be said about the COIN and Counter Terror tactical training the military and security services lacked. These are not just a few days trainings but take months, if not years. Still same administration of GEJ must be commended for truly rearming and retraining our Special Operations units. It is thanks to pragmatic steps taken by the GEJ administration via inviting the STTep group that successful units like the 72nd Mobile Strike Force were created.

Despite the time it, it still doesn't change the fact that when the platforms arrived the country along with personnel from Russia under GEJ's watch that the war truly began to change for the better.

So calling GEJ a waste of oxygen is simply wrong. But do feel to list the weapons Buhari the "Saviour" purchased. I'm waiting.

If the money was utilised judiciously, why did we lose 16 LGAs to Bokoharam creating the greatest humanitarian disaster of all times?

Have you ever seen the Gulma and Amebo in the BH theater, you think just mentioning failed projects will justify the loots of the Jonathan's administration?

if the money was properly utilized, where did all the properties acquired by our former Army chiefs come from? or EFCC sealed the wrong buildings?

A General can not legitimately earn above 30m annually, where did Amosun get the money to build a high rise plaza in Abuja?

Jonathan had a huge budget, they wacked it and secured platforms far less than the amount of money we budgeted, that is where you must channel your reasoning.

How much is Igirigi? how much was provided? how much was wacked? those are the real issues.

With sincerity of purpose, Buhari can get results with Catapult. That is where Jonathan remains a practical waste of Oxygen.

The MNJTF failed under him, Nigeria and her partners argue daily on territorial limits while BH goes on killing spree.

What did he ever get right in this conflict? Our command center was in Abuja for fvcks sake and you still mention Jonathan?

Buhari got the international momentum to solve the problem, total change of strategy and approach, relocated the command center to the epicenter of the conflict, when Sambisa was a no go area, infested with Land mines, Buhari compelled the US to donate over 20 mine resistant vehicles to us, we got some from the UK as well, we got funding because they were seeing clearly the milestones and sincerity of purpose we covered.

Each passing day, success was recorded piece meal by piece meal, under Jonathan, the US bluntly refused sharing intelligence with us for fear it will get to the wrong hands, today, under Buhari, the US is sharing intel gladly through Cameroon.

I wasn't suprised at the success made so far.
most of you who support failures like Jonathan believe me, I cant hold it against you because most of you are equally failures in your various endeavour, most of you don't even know what success feels like.
its so unfortunate.

ocelot2006:


Sure, Buhari has been quite a "success". Same way he has been a "success" with the Fulani Herdsmen, the brewing insurgency in the Niger Delta, and the ongoing killings in Kaduna. Same way he "successfully" steered the nation's economy with so much hunger in the lab with ABSOLUTELY. NOTHING to show for. Bros, I will proudly continue to support that "failure" called GEJ than the present DISASTER called Buhari. No wonder you hardcore PMB supporters are called zombies. The name truly fits as you folks can't even think for yourselves. Just a bunch of mindless drones happy to gulp the crap/shyte fed them. If people like me are "failures" in our respective live, one can only imagine how wretched & pathetic you mindless "Sai Baba" clowns are.

Oh btw, yes we lost 12 LGAs initially. Those same LGAs were still recaptured under the GEJ administration before he handed over a massively re-equipped and retrained military to Buhari. And please do tell how the Gulma and Amebo projects are failures. Even without them, NAF CH-3A UCAVs, purchased by the " failure" GEJ, were still busy laying the heat of Boko Haram while still collecting Intel.

spartan117:

I told u to ask Google u refused and u then provided me a link dat says nothing about the French quelling d crisis in Mali.well let me help ur ignorance. D French ordered dat their troops be pulled out of Mali 4 whatever reason dis was when Nigeria led d ECOWAS forces and restored peace. Pls I beg u to comfiim it from Google am on my knees

jpphilips:


Which LGA was recaptured under GEJ that never fell to BH control? who do you think you are lying to? mention names please.

you claimed the Amebo and Gulma was a success under Jonathan, what the fvck are you doing with the CH-3A? Are they not serving the same purpose?
I rem when one CH-3A crashed on duty, ever since, most of our surveillance intel come from Cameroon who relies on the US.

We do get our intels no doubt but the help of the US can not be undermined to polish a waste like Jonathan.

Buhari has not gotten the economy right abi? is the Economy the only problem Nigeria has?
Buhari has scored high on Boko haram in 2yrs, tell me, which problem of Nigeria did Jonathan come close to solving in 5yrs, tell me!!

We had herdsmen under Jonathan, did he solve it?
we had Boko haram that spread through 5 states under him, did he solve it?

What about Power that Obj's NIPP has guaranteed a 15,000mw installed capacity on the ground, Nnaji Brought the idea that will balkanize and privatize power, was Jonathan able to complete that simple task?

How about oil and gas where all our reserves was used to pay subsidy, was he able to give us local refining capacity? never mind that our partners divested 9 oil blocks during his reign. What problem of Nigeria did Jonathan solve in 5yrs?

You mentioned militants, are they not Jonathan's boys? How did they get the blue print of our network to bomb strategically if not for the pipeline security contract awarded by your dumb hero?

why was a special naval task force not used to secure the lines? or the mandate of the NSCDC has changed, in his tangential !diocy he opted to use militants, gave them our network blueprint, now they have graduated from bombing DL as it was in 2006 to bombing EXL and you are asking Buhari to fix the !diocy of Jonathan?
when will you ask Buhari to impregnate your wife?

Here you are asking Buhari to pluck Jesus from heaven while supporting your partner in Failure. Buhari doesn't owe you sh!t.
nonsense!!

jpphilips:


I dont normally reply kids, I believe I have helped your ignorance enough.

ocelot2006:


What is this demented billy-goat yapping about? NAF equally uses the CH-3A, so bloody what? They equally Alpha Jet and F-7s for same combat air support roles? Has heaven fallen.

And the mention of those platforms clearly indicated the FG willingness to prosecute the war using Nigerian made technologies thus truly boosting our own local defence industry. But you airheads forgot that fact.

Btw, YES territories were recaptured under GEJ. Or have you dolts forgotten Baga where GEJ personally visited and the phrase "NEVER AGAIN" was coined? Or is it Gwoza that wasn't recaptured? Or Hong and other locations in Adamawa? The only place not captured at the time was Sambisa. Yet you want to preach to me about lies? You're either a silly joker or suffering from selective amnesia. Either way you need help, tw.at.

Oh yeah, Buhari owes us ever since you dolts imposed that calamity on the nation. Fool.

jpphilips:


You went to China to purchase the CH-3A which is a surveillance drone with attack capabilities, yet you claimed that the amebo and Gulma project was a success?
simply because you decieved Jonathan to commission it, you see how clueless the man is? he has no idea that what he commissioned couldn't deliver.

who are you lying to? I asked you to show us a picture or video of either of the drones operational in operation Lafya dole theater, not the silly test video on YouTube that sounded like a chain saw, so much for surveillance purposes.

NAF said it was supposed to be employed for Pipeline surveillance, since it was commissioned in 2013 till date, nobody has seen it doing that job. The recent NDA strategic bombing gives credence to that failure theory so who do you think you are lying to?

Any !diot can make a remote flying object, what matters is how it delivers on its objective. Gulma and Amebo was a scam used to rip Jonathan off, unfortunately, he is too dumb to realize it.

"Never again" that scam? I remembered it, while the Chadian forces was bringing down BH command center in Dikwa, Jonathan's army was shouting "never again"

Till the end of 2015, Baga the MNJTF headquarters was firmly under BH control, recall that Baga was taken by BH the moment the Chadians left due to the stup!dity of the Jonathan's army.

Quite convinient to tell your fellow minions that there was a time you recaptured Baga, bros it is a war for fvcks sake, you gain and lose territories did you tell us how baga fell in the first place?
Did you tell us that Boko reinforced and retook Baga till the end of 2015 an offensive where you lost T72 tanks and sizeable number of APC'S?

guess what, the video of Baga real recapture is on YouTube, go and see the gallantry of the Buhari's army. The gallantry of Abu ali and Buratai was celebrated in that video.

I don't blame you for the deception, when the unserious president had his command center in Abuja, while the fight is in Borno, his inefficient stealing commanders fed his ears with stup!d melody of Never again.

Guess what, Buhari has no time for stup!d slogans, his effective strategy has camp zero and Shekau's flag on his desk, suck on that!!

Did you hear that the GCC OPEC tour Buhari started in March has paid off with both OPEC and Non OPEC agreeing to a production cut? now this is the good news!! the polemic case made for us by Kachikwu and Barkindo exempted us from the cut while we are expected to enjoy the new crude price of $58/bbl.

That is how to get things done! tell me what move did Jonathan make from August 2014 till May 2015 about crude price?

Failures like you patronize failures like Jonathan, when you start getting things done, you will make a better choice.

ocelot2006:


Oh my...the silly buffoon is at it. So NAF purchased the CH-3A, SO FVCKING WHAT?! Is that a bloody crime that a different drone was purchased to compliment existing ones in ISR roles? Seriously do you have a comprehension problem?...oh wait, you do. Cos you're an airhead. Btw you do know that the CH-3A is a UCAV compared to the unarmed Amebo and Gulma, right? & who cares if any tom dick and harry can build a drone? What matters is that its done locally by the military, and that's how it grows from unmanned to manned.....thats if Buhari doesn't kill our domestic military industry like everything else?

Btw, care to list weapons the dullard Buhari has purchased till date? Rather than whine like the wretched brat you are, how abt showing a little gratitude to GEJ for contributing his humble qouta in making the military's successes possible by actually providing the much needed equipment, weapons, and training?

Now run along kiddo and go play with your mates in the sand. Don't forget to work on your comprehension skills; WAEC is fast approaching. Useless Muppet.
