What's the importance of villages been destroyed?
What's the importance of people been chased out of their ancestral homes?
What's the importance of Nigerian civilians being killed because of their faith or the organization they work for?
Nigerian soldiers can keep dying in borno, so far it does not have any economic importance to the country, right?

Monies that should be spent on more important things are been spent on the military.

Hope you no go vex when buhari announce say millions of dollars have been budgeted for rebuilding the north east, imagine if this millions of dollars is channeled to BOI sad

Why did the UK go to war because of Falkland island?
Was any harm been done to the UK economy for them to go to war because of the Falkland island?

UK keeps half of all the oil proceeds from the north Falklands basin, so they are not occupying the Island for fun, & yes it was worth fighting for.

Nigeria bought 12 Super Tucanos for $329 million. That individual claiming 600 million is telling lies.

We are also getting JF-17 thunders, we are also getting MI-35m helicopters. For the MI-35m once we pay the balance the remaining 8 units would be delivered.

The Tucanos can carry all the ground attack bombs and munitions in the US Air Force service apart from MOAB and Nuclear weapons.

The Tucanos can loiter and provide reconnaissance for 10 hours to ground troops, imagine that capability.

The Tucano is perfect for Nigeria considering we are not in a threat environment like Syria were the enemy has MANPADs.

We cannot buy the TU-160 it's not going to happen. We cannot buy the AC-130, that's not going to happen either.

What the Nigerian army needs in addition to more of the VT-4 Tank is a dedicated Air Arm, armed with Light Attack Helicopters.


No offence, but U sure say that tiny mosquito go fit do all those things u talk? 12 for $329 million equates to $25m+ each. With that kind of money, we can still do better. What happend to the su25 someone mentioned? We still can't overemphasize the importance of dedicated gunship platforms as well as armed UAVs for 24hr all weather surveillance and attack. Air force needs to address that.

Tiny but the sting will bring hell and destruction from above.
This Tucano jet is specially designed for COIN operation and quote me there is no assets in its class that cheap, easy to maintain, that can bring destruction to terrorist, precise munition and targeting system .......etc

I know why some people don’t like this jet, one it’s a turbo-aircraft and solely for COIN and it can never be used for air power projection. But we have a serious internal problem we need to deal with, we can always get aircraft meant for our air space cover and power projection in the nearest future. Until few days ago no body knew the army was doing some serious shopping which deal was activated almost a year ago.
Who and some equipment are still coming in from Russia and Eastern Europe.

PRESS RELEASE

STOP DEPICTING THE MILITARY AS BRUTAL IN YOUR DRAMA SKITS

1. There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a variety of measures to stem its spread in our country. Some of these measures include restriction of movement, lockdown and stay at home directives which are being enforced by various government and security agencies. Some creative Nigerians found it expedient to provide comic relief through the production of funny jokes, graphics, drama skits and video clips to entertain the public. The materials are circulated through social media.

2. Unfortunately, most of these clips circulating on social media bordered on the Nigerian soldier and projecting the military as lawless, brutal and being harsh on people flouting the stay at home order pursuant to the lockdown and stay at home directives imposed in some states in Nigeria. There is no doubt these drama skits and video clips denigrate and cast the military and the security forces in a bad light.

3. This development creates a wrong impression and general perception of our soldiers negatively and projects them as undisciplined and brutal. Thus, creating an erroneous impression of the military. We are well trained and dedicated professionals that perform our Constitutional duties diligently and dispassionately with utmost regards for human rights and rules of engagement.

4. It is wrong to continue to produce such drama skits, video clips and graphics at the expense of the excellent image of the Nigerian soldier. It affects troops morale and has a broad implication for national security. No nation or good citizen make jest of its military. Therefore, we are appealing to well-meaning Nigerians and producers of such materials to desist forthwith. The military or security agencies should not be made the subject or focus of those skits at the expense of a key and strategic arm of the security architecture of our great nation.

5. On our part, we will continue to discharge our Constitutionally assigned tasks professionally respecting human rights and rules of engagement. We will also investigate the source of such props and costumes and ensure that military uniforms will not be used to denigrate the military.

Nigerian Army Air components is still a pipe dream. I don't see any tangible thing happening to that effect even in 5yrs time except something urgent is done. You can't be talking about establishing an air wing with our pitiable defence budget majority of which goes into recurrent expenditure.
Infact we don't have more than three operational T-72 tanks as of present. We hv not really seen the need to look for other sources of funding the Military other than the annual pitiable budget, if truely we have leaders that can think it won't be difficult to source for at least $2bn yearly from the private sector/public apart from defence budget to fund the military.
Out of the VAT sef 2% can be budgeted strictly for purchase of equipment yearly but we no dey reason in this part of world.

GENERAL BURATAI ON A TOUR TO ARMY SPECIAL SUPER CAMP NGAMDU,
* Directed Troops To Brace Up For Final Defeat of Insurgency
* Assures Troops of More Fighting Equipment

In continuation of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai's tour of troops' locations in the north east theatre of Operation, the COAS has assured the troops of Operation Harbin Kunama IV of the provision of additional military hardwares and platforms to enhance the speedy completion of the ongoing war against insurgency in the North East.

The troops are on training at the army special super camp at Ngamdu. He directed them to take their training seriously in preparation for the speedy conclusion of the war against insurgency in Nigeria.

Gen Buratai gave the assurance while addressing troops at Army Special Forces Super Camp Ngamdu in Kaga Local Government Area of Borno on Thursday the 9th of April 2020.

He said that the Nigerian Army had taken delivery of more equipment and platforms that would be deployed to various theaters of operations across the country.

The COAS directed the troops to take advantage of their new additional equipment and platforms to hasten the final defeat of insurgency in Nigeria.

He further enjoined the officers and men to ensure that the recent setback experienced does not deter them from defeating the terrorists and assured them that with more commitment, courage and resilience insurgency will soon be history in our country.

According to him, "as you all know, we have been on this ground for long and I expect us to remain resolute, selflessly committed and push for the total defeat of the Insurgents in the coming days".

"I assure you that what is remaining is very small but it will require us to put more efforts, more determination and more courage to complete the remaining part of the battle soon".

Recall that of recent, we had setbacks which must not be allowed to happen again, -
We will not allow any further casualties both in men and equipment.

Recall that the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gen Buratai has been on operational tour to various troops' locations in the North East theatre of operation since on Monday the 6th of April 2020.

He also visited Army Super Camp 1 at Molai and the Special Forces Super Camp 12 in Chabbol near Maiduguri on Wednesday.

COAS was also at the Forward Operating Base at Alau Dam, outskirts of Maiduguri and also personally led the troops on reconnaissance around Mairimari Forest located southeast of Tamsu Ngamdua in Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State.

Similarly, the COAS went round Maigilari Forest in the east of Tamsu Ngamdua in the southwest of the same Mafa Local Government Area. These areas are generally seen as the routes and directions of approach into Maiduguri by the Boko Haram/ISWAP Criminals.

Just check out the bombs we bought from America and cross reference it with the ground attack bombs the US has in it's inventory, you will see that I am right.

Intact, US SOCOM (special forces command) will buy 75 units of Super Tucano to be used by US special forces.

The SU-25 is a much better ground attack plane than the Super Tucano but it lacks these important attributes, low maintenance, ISR capability, Loiter time (over 10 hours) and low flying cost. The Tucano can also be used to train Nigerian air force JF-17 fighter pilots. This is why the Tucano is a better option.

We need a lot of UAVs, not just armed ones. If you look at Russia and Turkey, even Iran in Syria, you will see that they employ a lot of UAVs in combat.

This has proven to be effective.

But Russia and Turkey will use UAVs to track terrorists for hours, when they head back to their base the UAV will relay coordinates to fighter jets that would come and bomb the place or artillery to shell the place. Very effective.




Watch how Turkey used UAVs to trail these guys and neutralized them with F-16 fighter jets.

Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika - N4.5 billion. N29million recovered by the EFCC so far.

You are comparing apples and watermelons. The contract for the T-72s you are talking about were awarded to top brass in the NA. They went and got near-scrap T-72s for less than $100,000 and then sold it to the NA for around $3 million.

I still have Nairaland links to that shit. And yes, it still makes me super angry when I think about it.

What Komekn was saying was that we buy second hand T-72s and massively upgrade them. In case you didn't know, Russian has tens of thousands of these tanks in stock and just parks them cos they are not needed.

We can get them very cheap and that means we can have hundreds of them rolling around our battlefield for the price of what we are paying for these Chinese tanks. Putin might even give some to us for free if we let him spend some private time with Genevieve Nnaji wink

No! Putin can't be as dumb & stupid as the Orange Baboon who was recorded having "Golden Showers" with prostitutes in Moskow in 2013. grin

There are reports that a gazelle chopper probably owned by a south African PMC was shot down in Mozambique, the situation there seem to be getting rapidly fluid, few months ago there where a band of criminals raiding hamlets, today there are seizing towns.

Whyem15:

Exactly what I have been pointing out. France has a reason to see Nigeria destroyed because of our past diplomatic relations with them. They have air assets in all these countries surrounding us , yet they've never for once deployed them against bokoharam. US has two drone bases in Niger, one in Cameroon yet the same thing.
Jonathan wanted to end this war in 2014/15 so that he could get reelected, they blocked all the arms deal he made, even those he tried making secretely.
We wanted to purchase cobra helicopters from Israel, they blicked it.
Even if we are serious about ending this war which we are not currently, we will face a lot of challenges from these people who haven't for once scratched bokoharam.
They don't even help us with intelligence.
All you need do is go on sipri and see the quantity of weapons transfer in the last 10 years from US to nigeria and compare with Egypt's that get a lot in aids from US.

You know nothing about global politics. Why will France or US sacrifice their people to save bloody Nigerians, what makes you think Nigerians are worth it to them?
How will they convince their people to support that senseless action, you forgot they are advanced democracies?

France can do it for Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Mali, CIV because they surrender 60% of their wealth to France, why will France do it for you?
No need to mention the US, can you pay the US to fight your battles?

You think sensible countries will sacrifice their people for a useless refinery like we did in Sierra leone & Liberia?
Look at your mouth & sense of entitlement, they should fight for you, are they your house boys?

if you can't fight your battles why did you bother asking the same global powers to grant you Sovereignty? You would've remained an overseas British territory so British SAS will fight for you.
Nonsense!!
