Tobiloba2407: Go and read the book: The Evolution of War by Maurice Davie. There you will find your answer. The military never depreciated, war only evolved and all armed forces struggled to evolve. The UK military struggled with the Irish Republican Army IRA for many years, the US and NATO have struggled in the arab world, etc.... That is the situation, not that militaries depreciate. Wars evolve and large armies based on doctrines don't evolve easily until they take some beatings. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Whyem15: Use $5million each VT-4 tanks against Boko Haram.. ..... and the new anti-tank weapons for boko haram ba ? So, what do we use when proper war comes I am a baby I swear. In fact, am back to observer. The army should use all T-55, Vikers, etc.... all old weapons against these bastard terrorists.... Even at that, all old tanks cannot be pulled from across the country to the NE because the army must maintain readiness in men and armoury across all sections of the country. Please, let officers think for us. That is their job, they are experts and know better. And the new weapons are the armoury of the future... I guess. Not for ragtag bandits. 5 Likes |

FieldMarshall06: evolved that altimeter fuse that we used in the 80s and 90s....is now discarded in use of before world war 2 contact fuse? War evolves that it becomes a war of attrition for an organized military.... the bht, are no different from the liberian and Sierra leone wars, just that too many people in the right offices are becoming billionaires from it, trust me, if there was oil in the north east, all these issues would have stopped. 3 Likes |

With all the loss of lives and livelihood, which I regret.... I can say that Boko Haram has been a "blessing in disguise" for the army.... Many improvements have been made in the last 10 years, that would not have happened without Boko Haram... The army has grown from 5 divisions to 8 divisions, each having full compliments of fighting and support elements. The 8 div structure also decreased the AoR for each division and makes fighting and planning easier.. Size of the army has grown, trainning curriculum expanded massively, new skills being learned by the services and used on the frontlines, etc. Also many weapons are in the pipeline, some silently ordered and awaiting delivery, across the three services. The MoD is on shopping spree, and the navy and army are smiling well. Even the air force too... is happier.. thanks to Boko Haram awakening. As for the deaths,,,, well greatness don't come easy. Sorry tho. 8 Likes |

In addition, local production of weapons have trebled since the boko haram war. A couple of weapons are planned to be assembled in Nigeria in the next 10years, local research, drone technology, rocket propulsion and space research, etc..... these are benefits of frghting rag tag boys sponsored by evil elements... So, its not always about deaths,,,,, there are benefits as well. A fighting army acquires more experience.... 2 Likes |

Truth is that the Nigerian military of 1985 would beat the Nigerian military if today hands down, the only thing that might give a bit of resistance, is in the quality of our infantry training.....though without better infantry weapons if the 1980s. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Odunayaw:Deterrence bro! If tank is used effectively, it can deter terrorists from attacking an area it is deployed in. It's gun can be used to take out bokoharam's guntrucks kilometers away and save lives of soldiers. There are many different ways tanks save lives. |

The Chief of Air Staff for me is the best service chief this country has ever had and am not only talking about the Airforce, army and navy is included. The man legit invested so much in R & D, human capacity development, welfare etc his reign had s being nothing short of impressive considering the tight budget they work with. Even army personnel envy the Airforce guys alot and it's quite understandable. It will be nice to see him occupy the CDS position if PMB changes his service Chiefs. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Tobiloba2407: Difference between the old and new era chaps is harnessed on Leadership and Unity of purpose. The stance/doctrine of a leader is what will be entrenched. Whatever the fellow at the helm of affair believed in, will permeate and percolate down the entire structure (including the quality and quantity of trainings embarked on) either to their detriment or development. Case study : the present Air Chief. The old era chaps had little to no personal or regional agenda/interest. Dealings were collective. Case study: Maitatsine uprising/MEND uproar. Modern day hierarchy are not selfless and that acts as the launching pad for indiscipline----- both in strategies and procurements. 6 Likes |

Tobiloba2407: Totally agree and for the simple reason that those guys were willing to die to preserve the reputation of the NA and the leadership too did not tolerate failure. I am not ready to die for this country and I won't advise anyone to whether under the guise of joining the military. 2 Likes |

When you have all finished killing the thread, let us know. You behave as if everything is a new problem and view the past with rose tinted spectacles. It is never "I have to make it right". Rather, it is always "their fault, na dem do am". As if all of a sudden you are not Nigerians anymore making us all part of the problem. When you have all finished self deprecating, don't complain when foreigners insult you. And no, outside perception won't change with different people in power. The damage has already been done. Goodluck to you all |

FieldMarshall06: The bold is extreme retrogressive thinking it's a an assumptive proposition. Maybe it is tenable to you. But definitely not too me. To measure incompetence you must have some knowledge based competencies and vice versa. So by what unit of measurement did you make that proposition. |

That was very unprofessional of the Soldier!!!! Soldiers here generally have a mentality that civilians are their slaves...that has to change. Soldiers are soldiers because they have choosen to serve the people. It is an unresponsible soldier that would mobilize State resources to go look for an unarmed civilian. What won't we hear in Nigeria....and people are celebrating this? NewDelhi: 12 Likes |
