thought I was the only one who saw it....



slowly this CJTF guys are becoming a paramilitary force on their own.

jakeporeshenko:


Honestly and if they are not properly looked after or integrated into the military, they are Nigeria’s next biggest problem after Boko Haram.

Perhaps you have official figures on their numbers ?

Odunayaw:
Let's for a second imagine a foreign gov wants to make us limp. The CJTF would be a lovely place to recruit guerillas from. I hope just hope they are not neglected as all other things in our sphere of nationhood

bidex111:



If that happens the military will be in deep shit, these guys where born and raised in the north east and they understand the terrain.

Hmm there is fire on our rooftops, whe shouldn't sleep with our two eye closed.......

Nigeria military rated 5th worst military in the world

Nigeria is struggling with an ISIS-affiliated insurgency from Boko Haram (of “Bring Back Our Girls” fame). Despite Nigeria’s oil wealth (the Nigerian oil industry is the largest on the continent), its military is ill-equipped to combat this Islamist uprising. One soldier described it to BBC as:

“Imagine me and you are fighting, we both have guns but while you are wearing a bullet proof vest, I’m carrying an umbrella.”
Soldiers in the country’s Northeastern Borno State are so underequipped, their armored vehicles don’t actually move. Some soldiers are known to flee with civilians as they tear off their uniforms.

E shock you?!
Heheh when customs was seizing 1500 illegaly imported pump action shotguns every 3-6 months last year what did you expect they’d do with them?

I'll give you examples:
1) Exercise IBSAMAR is a maritime exercise by India, Brazil and South Africa which has been held every 2 years off the South Africa coast since 2008 (last one was held in India after their International Fleet Review to save funds as all 3 navies were there).It involves Navy, Air Force and Special Forces from all 3 countries. Because SA is the host, 9 months is dedicated by the SANDF to its planning. 6 months of that is just desk-top planning involving the 3 militaries. As I type this, the Brazilian and the Indian planners have been in SA for 2 weeks to finalise the last 3 months of planning.

2) Exercise Good Hope is a joint maritime and air force exercise by Germany/NATO and South Africa held every 2 years in SA and Europe since 2004. Because of the complexity, planning in the host country always starts 6 months after the exercise - meaning 18 months of planning.

3) Exercise Oxide is a joint exercise by France and South Africa involving maritime, air force and Special Forces every 2 years in SA and the French territories in the Indian Ocean near to us. Planning for this used to be a simple 6 months but because other countries on the Indian Ocean have sent observers - Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Mozambique, Tanzania - it's now been pushed out to 9 months.

I could go on and on.

My point is this: no multi-national exercise will ever take less than 9 months to plan and if planning in the host country is a matter of weeks, they're not planning but simply confirming logistics for plans made elsewhere.

And how is borno contributing to this war on terrorism? Or is it the federal government that is fully funding it with money mostly gotten from the south

This has got nothing to do with sahara reporters abeg. As a sane rational dude, the same kidnapper cannot return my abducted child and then expect me to jubilate and felicitate with him like he's doing me some favour after causing the whole trouble in the first place.He's even giving me advice that I shouldn't send my kid to school again..ooh how lovely, he really cares more about my kid than me . If you cannot see the demented psyche expressed there then we will just be going round in circles. Villagers taking selfies with the terrorists and you are here talking SaharaReporters smh

Bashir Manzo, whose 16-year-old daughter was among those kidnapped, confirmed his daughter was among those freed.

"As I speak to you there is jubilation in Dapchi," he said.

Residents in Dapchi fled on Wednesday morning upon hearing that Boko Haram vehicles were headed towards the town.

"We fled but from our hiding we could see them and surprisingly, we saw our girls getting out of the vehicles," Umar Hassan told the Associated Press news agency.......Al Jazeera.
