Salatavor:
how shameful, so while Chad was conducting this offensive the military was still waiting for BH to strike? Is there anyone of you here that still enjoy talking about the Nigerian Armed forces cus I sincerely don't. They were waiting for BH to strike? When they were supposed to be cutting down terrorist escaping from the Islands.

And then we have harrowing images of our soldiers promising harm on civilians.

And we see Generals complaining about equipments which we have been doing here for years, it today that we started clamouring against depending on soft skinned vehicle for this war.

Too many excuses have been given to explain incompetence in the Nigerian armed forces but Idris just made it clear that the war against BH is not necessary an expensive war, it is basically a war that can be won with determination, resolution and this clearly isn't the aim of the Nigerian side, the aim of the Nigerian side is to milk as much as possible from the war.

Dumb online generals giving excuses for incompetence and comparing BH to the larger global terror network really don't know what they are doing. BH is locally funded, locally supplied and locally sustained. We are not fighting a war against BH we are just defending ourselves and looting ourselves that is why BH is winning.

Sincerely Chadians Soldiers got so much morale. I have met some of them in Monguno and Naganzai. Lemme me don't praise them much in order not to look patriotic.

The Last time ISWAP came to Monguno in January around 5pm dancing at our popular round about screaming that the Army should Come out. Sincerely if it was last year when the Chadians were around ISWAP will not come out so openly in that manner.

Tho the Chadians too are quite careless from my little observation. Here in Monguno you will see a Chadian Land cruiser with a mounted gun and no Gunner controlling it, while the driver drives around. I have never see a Nigeria Hilux mounted with an AA With no Nigerian Soldier behind

[b]From what i heard they were sighted moving in large convoys from Doron Baga and crossed from Kukawa to Gudzamala last week.

The Military in Gubio and Damasak were on red alert thinking ISWAP would strike.

They might have crossed to even Borno Central.

Well make them no attack Monguno [/b]

SamuelAnyawu:


Nigeria is not ready to end this war. I have been in Borno now for over three years and visited almost all local governments in Borno. I have MRT several soldiers and we always discuss on this war. Every soldier believes it is a political war for the elites to cash out.

jpphilips:


Iran also

Salatavor:
you are right. Very right, but the question is, at what cost? Jonathan fought a damned good war.

Salatavor:
so is this a capability that Nigeria does not have? We have satellites we have the Marine surveillance planes. We have very expensive foreign trained special forces whose specialty is now reduced to National guard duties and looking for old women to rape and infect with sickness.

SamuelAnyawu:


Lure? They came into the main town and the Barracks is right inside the main town.
ISWAP came in 13 gun trucks to attack a Nigeria military location with over 100 gun trucks. Let me don't mention MRAPs and others.

My Brother that place was around 800 meters from the round about. to the barracks with over 2000 soldiers. The Killed some soldiers at the checkpoint called "Charlie1" That is the major Gate into Monguno manned by over 50 soldiers. The Soldiers had to abandon and flee.

The Army fired Artillery, which instead were dropping inside the community. Well let me don't go deep into this misfiring.

That was the day I almost lost hope in our Military. Our Military sincerely ain't motivated.

Whyem15:
We've not seen any action from Niger and Cameroon in months. It had to take the killing of over 90 chadians to get the chadians to go on the offensive. Is it that they are just aware of the Islands on lake chad that these terrorists use?. I'm sure this offensive will last 30 days at most and they are back to defensives. They will abandon the islands and the terrorists who are mostly on evasion right now will just move back in and rebuild with money they get from ransoming people they kidnap. I think it is high time FG criminalised the payment of ransome sef. It will be hard on a lot of people but kidnappings will eventually reduce when the criminals know they won't get anything from it.

Toju200:
Exactly what is said after this operation they will still come back...
I remember in 2016/2017 our military dealt seriously with BHT but we're still wondering why is d war still on
So things needs to be put in place...
Nor be today Dem don trash BHT like dis I wonder how they got a whole lot of all this gunnery..
Certainly not from Nigeria army arsenal...

Cameroon and Niger might have been quiet, but definitely not Chadians. 95% of BH/ISWAP territory are right inside NIGERIA. Just ask any Soldier about this 4 LGAs in Borno North senatorial zone (Abadam, Marte, Guzamala, Kukawa).If the Nigeria Military lays a perfect siege on these 4 Local Governments it will definitely be a Good Night to ISWAP.

Bit the war is here to stay. Men must Cashout

S400:


i have shared the link of us department of defense about the 329 millions Undefinitized Contract Actions (UCA ) ( contract actions for which the contract terms, specifications, or price are not agreed upon before performance commences ) .

lets say 344 millions . but dont forget the weaponary , ammunitions and other stuff . still 494 millions is too expensive for only 12 tucano's specially with 2024 delivery .

with 494 millions $ , and the lack of air support of nigerian operations in the north . 37 mi 35 M would be better and delivred earlier .

and what do you think of the Su 25 ? the last upgrades are very good and perfect for antiguerilla wars

Toju200:
All those saying you'll prefer this to that you're very right and I get your points
but there's something y'all ain't getting right..
If you've read the NAF strategic plan for modernization (Which is no longer available for download and no longer on the net) y'all will know where NAF is heading..
The Super tucano will serve it's purpose
More gunships will come
More fighter jets will come it ain't ending at 3jf17
What this current CAS is doing he's trying to get all these done with limited resources that's all

Disheartening......anyway we have been borrowing to pay salaries since 2014, our debt ratio is very high, Oil prices are at a record low....
We are almost there, this forced entity called Nigeria must bite the dust, only from its ashes can new life grow.

Please who remebers the weapons shipment from pakistan to Nigeria that was seized in saudi Arabia around 2014..... I have been trying to look for links about it but nothing yet. Does anyone have any link to it.
US and france have drone bases all around us, yet never for once have they attempted to strike bokoharam. There are msny instances where they prevented countries from selling weapons to us because of "human rights abuse". Yet saudi Arabia is there biggest arms importer.

allexpensive:
Its been a very long time.

komekn:


ISWAP biggest enemy is the USA.

If the USA are not partnering with us the question is Why ❓ If there is a lack of sincerity and corruption the USA will definitely know.

If the Federal government is not serious and motivated to win this war then the USA will also know.

Why did the USA build a drone base in Niger and not Nigeria

BabaOwen:
wetin I no still understand about this Nigerian military is how they are very gallant and ruthless against Nigerian civilians.

Who saw the YouTube video of a Ghanaian soldier flogging a guy during this corona lock down cause the guy was outside, the guy slapped the soldier and fled, the soldier almost shot him but he didn't(only god knows what will happen when he get him ). If is a Nigerian soldier, I will bet all my money on it that he would have shot the guy just look at the warrri case for example. A Nigerian soldier shot an unarmed civilian dead, the people almost lynched him to death(yea, he didn't die), the rest of the squad fled.

Nigerian soldiers are very gallant, very dangerous and more brutal than the Mongolian soldiers that swept through some part of Asia and Europe when ever they are facing unarmed civilians. But, this same soldiers are as gentle as doves when they are to face ISWAP, Boko haram, Fulani armed herdsmen or Armed bandits.

The only help they've provided to us against bokoharam apart from some irrelevant training is donating six used MRAPs to us. They openly blocked most of our weapons deal. The aircraft they are selling to us at incredibly inflated prices wont be delivered until 2024. Jow many years does it take to build just 6 super tucanos?
They tried building a base in Nigeria, they weren't allowed. Or do you think US wouldn't have attempted to build a base in one of the most strategically important countries in Africa?
