Yeap you're right.
But I thought prop-driven aircraft needs shorter runway, our Alpha jets and once jaguar jets takes off on the runway.

that's correct. Props and jets are designed differently. Props are usually built for stol, their wings are straight and they generate lift at low speeds they're also usually more curved than jet wings. They do not have a high ceiling. All these are designed like that due to the engine they run with and some other things that I cannot easily type. Jets are the opposite, their wings are swept back for higher speeds. And less curved. They have higher ceilings too. Designed like that due to the engine as well. The reason for the runway length difference is that props at full throttle take a shorter length to build up v-rotate airspeed under the wings due to the wing nature while jets take almost double the length.

Lol. How can u firfiet something that has already being built, not just built, but built to spec.....
And pay attention to the action word there "threatened"
Assuming it was true, it will just show how unreliable Nigeria can be as a trading partner..
Plus no body is refunding any money spent.
Kindly disregard that headline

Of course not here we only preach and discuss Nigerian doomsday. The fact that Ethiopia is in a solf Civil War is "no big deal". Don't you know only bad things happen in Nigeria while the rest of Africa is paradise?

It's a normal thing they have been doing. A year ago the beheaded one of our colleagues Dad. He went to farm not even 7km out of Maiduguri.

Death here is nothing new especially when its more of locals. Most locals death here ain't reported by any media

oga cut these security men some slacks.. they can't be everywhere at everytime.
Those locals are still those harbouring and giving them bokos Intel's..

It's weird that the spates of kidnappings and banditry in other parts of Nigeria have somehow made some people forget the dangers Boko Haram are still posing to our national security. We in the northeastern Nigeria are still aware that these dreaded scums are alive and kicky. Though their ability to coordinate attacks in other parts of the country is circumscribed, people in Borno state know their problem is far from over and Boko Haram is still a dangerous force to reckon with. They still control a vast swath of land in Borno state and their capability to raid and pillage villages is what makes it hard for the IDPs to return to their homes. The latest gruesome beheadings of farmers by the terrorists should remind us that we have many serious issues to overcome.

In all these, the police force has been extremely useless. What will cost the police to face banditry and kidnappings in the northwest and other parts of the country while the military focus on the northeast?

A sad day but might be an indication of BH/ISWAP frustrations. Attacking military formation/bases/camps is proving very difficult for them so they turn to soft targets to make impressions. I only pray that they won't start going back to suicide bombings.
And then, the dry season is here, more attacks should be anticipated. If the military, police and locals doesn't move from reactive to proactive stance, things will only get worse.
The increasing frequency of attacks from known criminal groups only serves to embolden upcoming criminals, they are like hayenas/wild dogs, when they sense weaknesses, they suddenly starts forming packs to finish the game.

As sad as this might seem, it would be advisable for locals in the the northwest to start filling the security void. They should fight back against banditry and kidnappings, it is still in it's infancy and can be curbed easily. One of the northwestern state's governor recently banned vigilante groups in the state in favor of negotiating with the criminals when he should be encouraging and supporting it.
There are several villages and settlements in the north without any military or police presence. These are easy pickings for terrorists/bandits. Even for forced recruitments. Many of the states in Northern Nigeria are too large to be governed effectively, forget ethnic sentiments and do the right thing. Government should be brought closer to the people.
Osun state has a security programme called "Harmonized vigilante group" and it is very effective, people trust them far more than the police. They run radio programmers every week where people call to report suspicious activities and crimes anonymously and also give updates on the previous week's operations. If these same model can be copied in all states and local governments, the situation will improve significantly. Many states are still playing politics with state policing, you don't need federal approval before you support, fund and organize vigilante groups to fight crimes in your state/local government.
The military can do better but to be frank they've really tried. Do we expect them to have bases in every villages and settlements across the country? Last week, there was a large operation against kidnappers in the Abuja-kaduna road axis, the moment they leave the location, these criminals or new ones return there. Establishing military bases in every settlement where there is insecurity might be catastrophic.

the way some of y'all talk about the soilders ehh is very disheartening..
These are people who left their families some are married with kids, They've volunteered to be at the front line some has lost an arm or limb and even lifes, December 2018 we lost are a mi35m gunship crew defending ground troops and the NE at large one of the pilot just got married sadly he died trying to fight for you,the flight technician has a family with kids sadly he died defending the people.
And you're here talking are they not men like you in the front lines.if soilders are to withdraw and say no we aren't fighting for the people again they aren't grateful everybody is doomed in a matter of weeks the whole Nigeria will turn to mosul iraq,it's like you don't know what ISWAP is capable of doing,but God bless Nigeria armed force they are keeping them at bay day and night pilots are in the skies on the lookout flying some old era alpha jets and still striking like they use the F16 bro show some respect..

Last year in Germany during an air Force training exercise with different nations a US pilot stated boldly He has learnt a lot from NAF pilots,Now that's something to be proud of..
