So Nigerian Army had to organized a fanfare before launching the operation against armed bandits in Katsina. Now that they've lost element of surprise the bandits will probably relocate to other region. 8 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: Yes! Heres why-ofc on paper the oversight and certification of each process is basically a bureaucratic affair at the plane makers in Oyinboland. They all know each other. Both parties respect each others abilities. As such errors occur: like the BAE Strikemaster, a ground attack we used to operate. The wing root would crack due to fatigue!? As of this writing, less than a dozen of the aircraft were noted as air worthy due to structural issues involving the wings, a setback that plagued the series and forced its untimely retirement.[url]https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=877/url] With us that WOULD NEVER HAPPEN . I CAN GUARANTEE YOU EVERY PROCESS AT ANY BLACK PLANE MAKER WOULD BE CHECKED, RECHECKED AND POSSIBLY TRIPLE CHECKED. The techs papers would all be scanned twice,uni transcripts examined, even their respective schools contacted!? And it would be a good thing,an excellent thing actually as the quality of the final product would be unimpeachable. 3 Likes |

komekn: You make your points by turning facts on its head!! going by your wack logic, an air traffic controller during an F22 take off should earn more than an F15? Isn't that common sense why personnel wages ain't part of the template because its definitely the same with every aircraft. One will expect you to present a template that support your claim, as usual, nothing!! just type a thousand words of BS. Adults speak with facts not images in their head. 3 Likes 1 Share |

UltimateDreamer: The Nigeria army should just stop parking APC's on the roads with the hope they would deter criminal minds, it has been the same story since the MEND crisis in the Niger Delta, please take the war to them, that sitting duck approach has never helped... Use the APC's as a tip of the spear to launch attacks, not wasting them as we saw in the Mungono attacks recently.. 11 Likes |

Nothing one won't see in this country, I watched that Army documentary on nta and its like it was aired to launder more of the COAS image than that of the army. They even used a picture of a Chilean special forces member descending from chute that went viral when one roforofo blog said it was the COAS . The whole thing to me is like a politician doing PR during elections campaign for a second term. abi is someone indirectly canvassing for tenure elongation? E. b. things 17 Likes |

demolition:Me I shock say army use that picture for their documentary. I cringed watching that video I was just fast forwarding it they interviewed officers and men who were just singing the praises of COAS, I doubt if any other service Chief has ever done this kind of self serving PR. They even shot themselves in the foot showing video of the army extra judicially killing IPOB members terming them insurgents. I remember Amnesty international posted same video sometimes last year showing the poor human rights records of the army, which this same army denied and refuted that video. na this thing go make US invoke Magnitsky and Leahy's Law to place sanctions on Nigeria or even try some of our senior officers at ICC if we are not careful. The producer of that video did the army dirty. 5 Likes |

Xbee007: Have always said this until we make MRAP’s our least means of standard transport for troops this would always happen. Honestly the service chiefs especially COAS should meet and do a presentation showing images from videos/pictures of immediate effect of I.E.D on light skinned hilux vehicle to the house committee on defense/security probably this would force the Federal government to do some serious procurements. Even with the MRAP you would still have chances of casualties both KIA and WIA both the figures would drop. I saw pictures of Egyptian MRAPs two days ago on twitter blown into pieces caused by ISIS I.E.D, with the light skinned Toyota hilux your chances are zero !

kikuyu1: This word " organisational culture " has a way of pervading everything that you do in an organisation. It takes many decades of the pursuit of excellence for it to become established and the general benchmark. That organisational culture has a way of when consider bother degree of high tech manufactureing country is involved in to become the national psychi = mentality. That's why manufacturering in the Germany is very different from manufacturing in the UK. One is seeking world dominance by excellence in production and the other is essentially asleep in mediocrity. What l am saying that level of competence cannot be attained by short cuts. Pakistan will never make a quality competitive product like those countries who have had a century or more of doing it. I rest my case. You can travel in a Pakistani manufactured aircraft but before you enter you better fast and pray. |

ugo4u: I have said this before NEVER in the history of the NA has it been so politicised with spin and propaganda but entirely based on personality. It's going to take a long time to clean that mentality out of the system of the NA. Even when he leaves. I really do not know but from an understanding of organisational management. I can say most promotions will have moved from the objective measurement of KPI's to subjective ones where preference based on relationship will become paramount. That simply means " who Oga like " which is nepotism and favouritism. Very sad something that has taken decades to build up is being destroyed. 4 Likes |

I keep saying it the govt is not serious in funding the military, if worse comes to worst we can do trade by barter, with a top Military vehicle manufacturer or nation. We give them oil, gas, gold, cocoa or any resources we can easily get in exchange for MRAPs, and other badly needed military equipment. It is trade by barter with Julius Berger; Oil for infrastructure that IBB/Abacha used in building/developing Abuja. We can also say tax Nigerians indirectly w/o people even knowing e.g for every one liter of petrol N2 will be earmarked to supplement our defence needs, percent from postal stamp, even a slice from the newly increased VAT, Customs can be mandated to remit say 5% to the defence fund out of the 30% they charge for duties etc We just need someone that can think out of the box to raise funds for the military but the political class is only concerned in taxing and looting the country.. 9 Likes 1 Share |

kikuyu1: I am looking it from process management and a comparison of organisational culture and the impact on production quality and innovation. I was looking at Airbus SE UK and German subsidiaries and if you delve deeper you will know there was a research team. From a UK Russell group universitiy that invented the interfacing for the maintenance scheduling for Airbus. In this regard Pakistan has nothing to anchor industrial manufacturing and or high technology upon. Would you buy a Pakistani made car or Mercedes-Benz if given the choice even if the Pakistani car is much cheaper. I personally would rather have a 3/5 year old Mercedes-Benz or Audi vehicle than s brand new one. Talk true make devil shame 2 Likes |

ugo4u: One of things you will find in going into any organisation. Because the Armed forces is an organisation albeit defence based governmental. Nonetheless, same principle applies. Your competence exposes somebody's incompetence your honest, best value and prudence ( much lower costings) exposes systemic bare faced corruption ridden high scale and level stealing. Otherwise l have actually made some overtures in this regard. |
