bidexiii:Hammer on the nail's head. I just can't get why they behave like that. Never do their job (as commanded by the constitution) until an executive order comes. Who will save them from bewitchment 1 Like |

GabrielYulaw:How many soldiers does it take to man a road block Are you sure those manning roadblocks are Infanteers/Arty guys etc or just cooks and bandsmen (I met one like that sha ) 1 Like |

yoged: I almost cried reading this piece. We don't have threats in the past was just because we have what it takes to destroy the threats. Now that we have destroyed the destroyer of threats, we have more threats than we can ever imagined. As I am speaking, we have foreign bases all round us waiting in case we should explode. For those of you saying that we have no threats, I shouldn't be the one to tell you that we have more threats, possible more than Egypt and Algeria. That threats has not been practically pronounced doesn't mean its absence. Although the said threats has not been fully matured, we should be prepared possible for the worst. Just like Iran, we are gradually being surrounded by foreign bases and troops in name of fighting terrorist and other mini excuses but their true intentions has not yet been revealed. And if they could gain entrance into Nigeria, that means Africa as a whole is finished. It will be worst than slave trade. Forget democracy, it doesn't work in this case and we all that. Western countries can plan your downfall for more than 30 years and still execute it perfectly when the time comes using the same "democracy" as an excuse. Democracy is more perfectly written/explained in paper than in real life practice. It is time to be alart and defend the Nation 5 Likes |

yoged:Lies easily spotted. We spend $700 million acquiring two state of the art stealth Chinese OPV and refuse a $45 million package to arm the ship with anti-air craft missiles, anti-ship missiles and torpedoes. We turn down the offer because there was no credible threat to our surface fleet. In 2015 the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corp completely destroys strategic ammunition belong to the Nigerian Navy because there was no threat. The weapons destroyed are our stock of 45 Ottomat Missiles anti-ship missiles and 20 practise missiles. Seacat Missiles, Aspide missiles For God's sake must lies be added to anything to make it dramatic? 1 Like |

Odunayaw: There are like 3-5 per roadblock. That might not seem like much, except that there's absolutely no reason for them to be there and they are vastly more needed in the North. Cooks and bandsmen? The people I am talking about wear full army uniform, and mostly use Hilux trucks painted the typical army green. Even their checkpoints have army camo on the empty oil barrels used for the roadblocks and on the stones and logs used to block the road. That weak me. |

Odunayaw: Very good. It might be just me, but I think showing faces of serving personnel is unprofessional. |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by GabrielYulaw(m): 1:25pm On May 23, 2020 |
bidexiii: I disagree. If any place can be said to be volatile, it is the North and the North alone. There is no cogent reason these people are there, except to act as an army of occupation. |

Odunayaw: OK. Could you tell us how much those Chinese OPV cost and why perfectly good missiles were destroyed if they indeed were. Modified: Just checked Wikipedia. It says the ships cost $42 million apiece. 1 Like |

GabrielYulaw: need to add some details here : - for mighty israel superbly trained and competent. that lost miserably against small hezbollah group in lebanon 2006 , you forget Mighty USA in the equation , israelian army is built to resist a war few weeks until USA hudge military bridge and help come . without US mother they cant sustein a long war , egyptian army alone will erase them in one month or two . ( that's my own opinion about this ) - For tchad libyan war , same , some poeple forget , that france was dierectly involved , that libyan army was going to take even ndjamenna and south tchad with rebels but french army launched operation Tacaud ( 18 french military died, two planes lost ) , that stopped libyan army 430 km before ndjamenna , than Manta operation ( with 8 Jaguars, 2 C-135F, 7 Mirage F1C, 2 Breguet Atlantic , 26 C-160 Transall , 3 DC-8 and 30 hélicopters between (SA 341/342 Gazelle et SA330 Puma). Crotale air defense systems SNERI and Spartiate radars thousand soldiers , than last hudge epervier operation that stopped libyan at the 16th parallel and helped tchadian to reverse the situation ( french lost 158 soldiers in tchad) , and there is a lot of other small french operation to protect tchad , even US intelligence services were directly involved and cooperated with french . here a very intersting site in french : detailing all this war and the French operations during the war http://aerohisto..com/2013/12/de-manta-epervier-operations-aeriennes.html and all french miliary bases around the region are meant for this kind of operations , nigerian army is surrounded with french bases , as all african armies in the region should be aware of this danger - and for irak it was an internal religious civil war , the shiit and sunits iraki factions got into a bloody war , realy difficult to stop an armed uprising of hudge part of its population. 6 Likes 1 Share

GabrielYulaw:I get you perfectly, its perplexing to me too. Police just wan useless. Down West they are highly kitted with torchlight and change (If you know, you know) GabrielYulaw:IMO, only guys on front lines should blur faces except official pictures from the Services. Before now, the SBS had very strict rules on pictures. I guess they relaxed them because Military gaz garner support from populace. Do you know literate Nigerians still don't know we have Special teams even with all the noise 6 Likes |

GabrielYulaw:I'm glad you did little research to find the price! What perfectly good missiles. The missiles that were destroyed were all past their shelf lives and were even more harmful than good! |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by GabrielYulaw(m): 1:40pm On May 23, 2020 |
Odunayaw: Past their shelf life? Even so I wouldn't mind paying a token so they could give me one of these missiles to hang in my living room. Yes, I know it's not safe, but something must kill a man and there's nothing sexier than a missile |

Our army is indeed overstretched. But that's down to the misuse of our policemen. I read a statistic early this week on Twitter that 20-40% of our police are assigned to VIP and other persons. Unfortunately, Nigeria has massive security issues hence Soldiers are drafted in to paper over cracks wherever there are hotspots. If we had no oil wealth to sustain such significant numbers of army and soldiers, I shudder at what we'd have become. |
