bidexiii:I wonder what all these armoured carriers are doing in less volatile region down south up to the North central. Most of this vehicles are parked in banks, and police barracks when they ought to have being massively deployed to support the operations in the northeast. Even if the police don't want to participate in the fight against Bokoharam let them kuku hand over their armoured vehicular assets to the military abeg. 9 Likes |

ugo4u: Now they are deploying men to handle bandits. Perfect avenue to get this vehicles deployed and put in good use. Sometimes I wonder if the police purchase this stuffs for fashion purposes. But at last. The NPF will always disappoint. I don't see this vehicles being needed within Abuja or it's environs. It's senseless to use Toyota Hilux in Maiduguri and then keep BTR's somewhere in Abuja taking dust. 3 Likes |

GeneralFarouq: By your point of reference 2016 you have indicted yourself and made yourself open to claims that you are politically biased and partisan. Your reference point is anchored entirely on the political regime of PMB. That in itself tells us where you are coming from. The very thing we are contending again you have personified. Can you please remind us the commendable acts of the military holistically that have given us the expected delivery outcome with regards to the SE over all. Isolated incidents remain isolated with limited impact without over all convergence. 1 Like |

seankafor: When you look at war in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, what do we notice a duplicity and wide range of international media reporting live. Some get killed in the process. Now compare that obvious disparity with the Nigerian insurgency in NE. We have one source essentially the NA. That's not balanced and is open to manipulation. 3 Likes |

bidexiii: What I see are old painted BTR 60 with the old gasoline engines. There should be at least a 14.5mm HMG albeit it without laser-range finder and or thermal sights in the turret. With regards to this one, where is your offensive weaponry that gives you overriding advantage over lightly armed bandits. This is part of the hangover of years of military rule and the fear of upgrading the police, who are closer to civilian influence than the army and much more in numbers. 4 Likes |

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) on Sunday said that four terrorists, including two women, Aishatu Manye and Kelune Mate, identified as wives of the local Boko Haram commander at Gajingi in Madagali area of Adamawa State were amongst insurgents captured alive in the 17 operations successfully conducted by the military last month in renewed efforts to end insurgents’ activities in the country. This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja by the Coordinator Defence Media Operations (DMO) Major John Enenche. He added that in the same vein, 75 members of the criminal group were eliminated in 17 encounters in the month of June just as the sustained onslaught by the troops also resulted in surrendering of a number of insurgents during the month. Gen Enenche further explained that the troops also arrested one Boko Haram spy named Kawalu, in Michika while another Boko Haram fighter was captured in an encounter at Miyanti general area in Bama area of Borno. He revealed that the encounters also led to the recovery of assorted arms and a large cache of ammunition, including one anti-aircraft gun, 13 AK-47 rifles, one sniper rifle, 21 locally made guns, two Dane guns, and one rocket-propelled gun. According to him, “the trio of Mohammed Babagana, Modu Jugudun and Alhaji Usman surrendered to troops of Delta Company at Strong Response Area, Pulka, in Gwoza, while one Mustapha Kori surrendered to troops of Army Super Camp 11 Gamboru, Ngala, in Borno “It is equally heart-warming to note that during the period, troops rescued 35 persons from the captivity of BHTs/ISWAP criminals, amongst those rescued were 18 women, 16 children and one adult male “Polio vaccine was promptly administered on the rescued children in line with the Buratai Intervention Initiative while First Aid was administered on the women as required.” He quoted the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, as commending the troops for the resilience and patriotism they have continued to demonstrate in crushing the remnants of Boko Haram to criminals. https://tribuneonlineng.com/troops-capture-2-wives-of-boko-haram-commander-in-adamawa-―-dhq/amp/?__twitter_impression=true |

komekn: Actually it shouldn't be a problem! The final aircraft is ofc certified meaning every level of its production has been declared safe from, the design,machining,assembly and incl even the suppliers facilities. Before a newly developed aircraft model may enter into operation, it must obtain a type certificate from the responsible aviation regulatory authority. Since 2003, EASA is responsible for the certification of aircraft in the EU and for some European non-EU Countries. This certificate testifies that the type of aircraft meets the safety requirements set by the European Union.https://www.easa.europa.eu/domains/aircraft-products/aircraft-certification So,in theory even Burundi can build a plane. 5 Likes |

bidexiii: Not many non EAs know this but the Tutsis are notorious for misusing kids as killers-easily brainwashed they'll do anything! Early 80s he began false flagging Bagandas in the centre of Ug-his boys would dress up as army slaughter whole fams and adapt the kids. The tactic has been used in Rwanda and the DRC by the same people. Every available solider was pressed into action and by late 1985 this included the child soldiers. New recruits were rapidly trained and deployed. As fighting intensified in and around Kampala, more and more child soldiers turned up in the ranks of the NRA.https://www.culturalsurvival.org/publications/cultural-survival-quarterly/child-soldiers-uganda-what-does-future-hold 1 Like 1 Share

kikuyu1: It doesn't matter do you think people will take comfort in certifications. And because an aircraft is certified it cannot crash with technical problems. Was the 737 Max not certified. That is all academic in reality we know that military certificate is very different from civilian. But you didn't answer the question " would you feel confident about flying in a Pakistani manufactured aircraft and if given the choice would you prefer European, American and or a Japanese manufactured aircraft.

kikuyu1: Smh. In the early stages of boko haram, Ali Modu Sheriff used them to win election,,, like many other govs including Peter Odili. But that Boko haram later grew and metamorphosed into a bigger force that started fighting Nigeria. So, the early boko haram that was used to rig election was different from the ones that starting fighting Nigeria... same happened with Peter Odili's election armed thugs who later became militants and grew in strength and weaponry. Gen. Ihejirika did not sponsor Boko Haram. His appointment as army chief caused some resentment .... and the way he fought them raised serious concerns in the north,,, 5 Likes |

kikuyu1:Aircrafts especially those with twin engines are designed in such a way that one engine can comfortably fly the aircraft if something happens to the other, loss of one engine is not really a big issue but for the sake of SOPs pilots are advised to land at the nearest airport. Even if a fighter pilot loses both engines as long as he has enough altitude with respect to the nearest base he can still land the aircraft successfully. In summary landing on one engine is not big deal for a pilot that knows his onion, doing that with the loss of both engines is where the issue lies aircrafts are built to be reliable. 2 Likes |
