That's a stripped hyena, it was shot dead in the North east, it's listed by the IUCN as "near threatened".

A soldier on duty is not supposed to part ways with his rifle. This is a war theatre, yet you see these soldiers holding a yena instead of their rifles. These guys are not well trained.

Stop making excuses. That army is a freaking joke. No wonder the US government will not allow any of the nation's real hightech equipment to be sold to them; they act like a bunch of kids and goons. They do not seems like a serious force at all.

The presidency has ordered immediate arms procurement of critical equipment for the armed forces in line with the Federal Government policy of purchasing such items from the original manufacturers on government-to- government basis.

I almost forgot buratai is the same guy who managed to buy a hotel and a mansion both in dubai and under a nigerian army salary. This guy na magician. According to Lavoisier, 'rien ne se crée, rien ne se perd, tout se transforme'.

You've got a sharp eye mate


The photo above, taken during the Battle of Mammy Yoko Hotel in Freetown(May 1997) shows a young Lieutenant Alechenu in the heat of battle, sans flak jacket and with the old mascot of the Nigerian Army Armoured Corps embossed on his shirt sleeve.

It is a testimony to how far we have come that practically all troops on CTC0IN operations as we speak, wear flak jackets. We even now have a joint DICON-Maron venture producing live jackets in Nigeria as we write this.

During the ECOMOG era, flak jackets were an absolute luxury item for Nigerian troops, as tens of thousands of soldiers and guerrillas slugged it out in savage hand to hand and street by street fighting in urban warfare around Freetown and Monrovia. It underscores the sheer bravery and heroism of those ECOMOG soldiers whose gallantry we shall never cease to celebrate on Beegeagle’s Blog.

Well, Alechenu is a Commanding Officer of a battalion these days(as of March 2012) and wears the rank insignia of a Lieutenant Colonel. He is of Idoma ethnic extraction and as such, a native son of Benue State.

SupremeCourt:



"Army has not received the $ 1 billion promised us last year for war efforts" - Lt Gen Buratai.

Oga chief of staff is the army deaf sir? Senate still asked army again for the 100th time since 2017, tell all Nigerians what are the things you want to buy and spend the one billion dollars for, but you still refuse to answer, so they still refuse to give you the money. Simple.

"Government will soon buy modern weapons to stop Boko Haram" - President Buhari.

Your Excellency, people voted you to change our nation, including our army. So you, retired army general trained in tank MBT combat in America, does not know T-72 tank is from 1970 and obsolete? You dont know Vickers tank maximum shooting range is only 500 meters or half a kilometer, while Boko Haram shoots anti-aircraft from 3 km away cutting off the head of our troops that cannot reply fire from long distance?

Nigeria has 1970 tech tanks made in 1980 used under America trained army tank warfare commander 4 Star General, so its now 120 innocent Nigerian soldiers died in 45 minutes fiery combat defending our base with broken down T-72 that fired twice, old gun stopped jammed, Vickers tank ancient relic of 1980 could not even touch the enemy far away, allowing Boko HARAM fighters to enter the base once our tokunbo tanks malfunctioned after 40 years of manufacture, sale and resale, and over-use for Oyinbo's own training in Europe, then sold to Nigeria third hand, used four years non-stop in Borno war, no yearly mechanical maintenance overhaul till guns broke down and most ERA broke off, because we have only 47 old obsolete T-72 tanks when Algeria bought 500 T-90, India 2,000 T-90, Uganda 44 T-90, Azerbaijan 100 T-90, so Buhari does not know his army is badly equipped until death visited 120 widows and fatherless in Nigeria?

What modern equipment these Buhari and Dan Ali vow to buy now, maybe a lie, maybe true, ask them to name these modern weapons they want to buy now; no name, no list, you are in darkness again my friend, PHCN darkness includes information blackout in this unlucky Nigeria that is always a victim of bad leadership since 1960.
