SupremeCourt: You don't need to waste your time; go create an exciting forum. Tell me what meaningful contribution you've ever made to the forum that is is not "REPETITIVE" and "MONOTONOUS". Dude if the forum is boring to you go elsewhere where and keep your stupid reservations to yourself. 6 Likes |

jakeporeshenko: Nice pictures. For the NA to really kick start these Aviation arm they need help from the federal government/Mr president. It's now how many years now since arm was created and what the army could only squeeze out was ongoing part payment for 3 LUH AS350 helicopters, Our military budget is way to tight ! We can do more better than these; if it means finding other alternatives of funding our military and various ongoing conflicts. 4 Likes |

SupremeCourt: I had doubts but i have confirmation now that this guy is high on something. DOn't you know the meaning of estimation in your shallow brain. IF BH had 40k fighters it would have been something else.What BH is good at is hit and run tactics or guerrilar warfare which suits better little mobile units. The period when BH tried to operate as a standing army they paid it dearly under the fire power of NA, CAmeroonians Forces and the Chadians. MY brother stop exposing you ignorance in public and stop basing yourself on articles which have been written by humas just we are. Those who wrote those articles are they in the region. Stop speaking dull and go smoke ur stuff somewhere else. 2 Likes |

bidexiii: Calm down fella, am not attacking you, I just think freely. Refrain from insulting people who dont insult you, or you get it back 3 fold, abi I look stupid to you? Guys with value to add wont stay much on this forum because of too much lies and deliberate false info, you prove something right, the mumus here will argue for ego till death as if the world actually makes progress on wrong facts, no respect for truth, nobody ever agrees he is wrong, and you all think its okay. There's reason good TV channels stop a series show after 5 years and it's repeating same old things, I dont know if DHQ pays you to run this forum for their PR, or else I wonder how you easily spend 5 years 24/7 posting ak-47 hilux f-7 and you no even tire! You must be a strange fella in deed. I respect freedom for all, keep on doing this if it makes you happy, buy you never wonder why all South Africans have left this forum for you Nigerians to keep repeating same things, no new equipment to show. Yes, only Nigerians can tolerate that, the guys from a more sane society find it unbearable and the left. Do whatever you decide man, not my concern, just that truth is bitter for Nigerians to swallow, so our country remains far behind in this abysmal condition while smarter countries keep moving far ahead. Our government officials love to shove it down are throat saying "Nigerians endure our cheating, wetin dem go do?" 6 Likes |

SupremeCourt:I can’t waste any more of my time arguing with an slowpoke who thinks an insurgent group was able to hold territory because they matched the army man for man /toe to toe, the nature of this war is guerrilla warfare and that literally means employing certain tactics to fight a larger and less mobile force, your link proves you wrong and I ask again did you enter Sambisa to carry out a census ? |

Anything anybody's says that goes contrary to your beliefs you all label that person mad and start throwing insults. You ghys do not respect people's right to air a different opinion. The other guy called me a bigot and asked me to leave the forum because they came here to look at pictures just because I aired my own opinion. This is beyond childish. You all do not own this ks forum also. You guys now determine what people should talk about. This is part of the reason I stopped making contributions here.

At it height in 2014 Boko Haram had as many as 30,000 active fighters. They needed that many to hold territory the size of Costa Rica. Holding territory meant to had to engage the might of the Nigerian army in a traditional conventional mode of fighting. According to the BBC, engaging the Nigerian army head on was a fight they could not hope to win. They lost so many men..by 2015 half their fighters had been killed, it's commanders targeted. The majority of their casualties came from artillery bombardment. Realizing their mistake they abandoned the idea of holding territory and have reverted back to their cowardly hit and run tactics. Today the group numbers less than 5,000 active fighters, but in 2014 they numbered 25-30k fighters. These are generally miscreants and youths who little or no training. They stood no chance. Most of them are in hell now screaming. 6 Likes |

SLBMS: Dude where are you getting your figures from Have you ever been to Borno or Northern part of Borno before ? Even during the dark days(especially 2015) the total strength of BH will be between 8000-1000 at most. Dude have been in places like Baga, Bama, Monguno & Mallam fatori e.t.c.... Not to talk of God forsaken places like Kekeno my place of Operation, Mafa and parts of Sambisa. Note these "8000 to 1000" figures where not only in Nigeria, they spread across countries like Chad, Cameron etc. Dude i av seen things with my eyes in Northern part of Nigeria, I spent almost six good years in Borno state and its environs between 2009 - 2015. You can just come here and start quoting figures from no where Chad as been a good breathing ground for terrorist, we all know that but your figures of terrorist you quoted is outrageous. 5 Likes 1 Share |

jakeporeshenko: I proved my claim with a good source and you keep saying I am lying, you see why people tell Bidexiii that this forum has become a piece of shiit that decent guys run away from? You cant tell simple proven truth, ego bigger than facts. Its a mess on this thread. https://medium.com/war-is-boring/how-big-is-boko-haram-fac21c25807 If you have solid education you will know that for planning purposes estimates are made where accurate census is impossible. Nobody has accurate numbers, so sources say 5,000 to 50,000 BHT. Anybody can choose any number in-between estimate range, I chose a number different from your choice does not make me wrong. That is the cow brain understanding you display here and you cannot be corrected, you feel too big in your ignorance. Your own sources Amnesty International or USA military entered Sambisa to do census? Stop telling bull stories here, apply some logic and prove me or them wrong that BHT was not 5k to 50k at their past date of maximum men, if you don't know what peak strength means, olodo agbalagba 1 Like |

bidexiii: You are perfectly bidexiii .Still wondering how some one would believe the BH at its peeked numbered 30,000 fighters lol. Some people are really inhaling some strong stuff in this forum. Even ISIS at it's peek never reached such numbers. EVen when a military force numbers 50,000, you have a maximum fighting forces of 20,000 to 30,000 men the rest are either administrative, logistics and pther supporting elements which permit the fighting force to be effective. THe fact BH held territory as huge as Costa Rica does not mean it was found everywhere in those territories it conquered.If BH had 30,000 men at hand, ask yourself how it took the Chadians and Nigerians just 1 week to reclaim half of the territory. Seriously when you argue use small common sense and some little arithmetics. |

fabselad: Honestly during the dark days: "2014 -2016" if truly BHT numbers is truly between 30,000 and above at the peak periods they would have attempted to attack Abuja........ the western & eastern part of Nigeria would not be safe by now. |

bidexiii: I caused no commotion, the thugs on this forum calling me hemp smoker for speaking my mind, backed up with a valid source, those forum members caused the commotion. What you guys don't know is that calling people stupiid for not agreeing with you, makes the you look uncivilized, in decent societies people are free to have different opinions, and calling your thread monotonous is my opinion, but because civility and correction or opinion piece are all strange to you guys, you start attacking people and you yourselves start the commotion. You can create peace by skipping over any comments you dislike, but you just aren't smart to do that. You start rounds of insult and then blame others for the chaos. Learn to let others speak or you quit social media, internet is a free world for all, that's what you people don't know, you post 90% of content does not make you own any forum, you are just using free space that everybody has equal privilege to use.

fabselad: 40,000 men sharing 10,000 ak-47 rotated by groups running shifts of operations cannot take Maiduguri, BHT has no armoured corps, no artillery brigade, and no air force. How will they take Maiduguri that is a stronghold of NA, NAF, NN with hundreds of armoured vehicles? BHT don't even have enough enough Toyota Hilux to carry 40k men, many videos show footmen or okada riders. If they come out with large force of 5,000 men heading for Abuja NAF helicopters will rocket them to pieces like meat grinder before they even reach Kaduna. Boko Haram had no equipment and air power to do the job, that's why they cannot overrun 500,000 Nigerian army and police, we are too many for them.

Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by SupremeCourt: 6:45pm On Apr 24, 2019 |
shadowprimezero: Nice one indeed. They estimate ISWAP at ± 20,000 so BHT can hit 40k total, especially combined forces. Only a fool will think BHT used 10,000 men to occupy the size of Belgium, with no air force c-130 hercules transport planes or thousand molue buses to drive them around to control and put Garrison on 30,000 km². At 1 man per km² BHT needs ±30,000 men and extra for camps in Chad, Niger, Cameroon, plus raiding force mobile guerrillas. More like 40k. Then 40k men does not mean all own a rifle each, they rotate same limited weapons. Takes sense to figure this out. 3 Likes |
