As usual. Misplaced talks and unnecessary straining of the jugular. As for me, I maintain a stance that this should never have happened. All security forces (outside the Military) should be receiving a lot of demotions, forced retirements etc. Alas, kudos! The FireBrigade got in just in time 13 Likes |

bidexiii: If you have the dexterity to look at my contributions in depth. You will find l hardly use the term LIAR. Even if a person is ignorant it's thier perspective albeit it misguided. But you have called me a LIAR. Below several news clips as well as the press briefing from the army PR Gen. Enenche.

LTGEN: Yeap they denied them movement, food & water etc they had no option than to let the kids go, how will they carter for over 300 boys. I hope we learn from these and do something urgent about this banditry/ kidnapping. Its really destroying the north ! 1 Like |

Toju200:https://defpost.com/nigerian-air-force-inducts-second-bell-412-helicopter-fleet/ It came from a civilian source. armoring on civil aircraft will only stop handguns. A direct automatic fire will penetrate it. ak rounds and machine gun cartridges are very powerful. they'll easily tear through. 4 Likes |

Toju200: From the pictures you have posted this is a Bell 412. If l remember correctly they were procured by the former Governor of River's state and then seized by then Jonathan federal government. First of all l am sure you can clearly see there is absolutely no FLIR and or Thermal imaging camera and or pod on the helicopter. Boko Haram have HMG on thier gun trucks a low flying noisy helicopter with a huge searchlight in the night is essentially sitting duck. I admire once again your optimism but you cannot turn white to black. 4 Likes |

Faithful007: "The two helicopters were handed over to the NAF on 27 January 2017 after they were seized on 7 November 2016 when the importer could not produce end user certificates. They were originally destined for Rivers State to protect oil and gas facilities and were equipped with night vision equipment, armour plating and cameras. They were supposed to bypass import duties. The new helicopter will be deployed to the Northeast as part of the efforts to strengthen the counterterrorism campaign against Boko Haram." They were manufactured with armour plating. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/military-helicopters/nigerian-air-force-commissions-second-bell-412-into-service/ 1 Like |

komekn: You have a habit of arguing aimlessly, pointlessly without doing any basic research. Is this FLIR not clear enough for you? The Nigerian military did all in it's powers to deny the bandits any freedom of action. They deserve to be commended for quick action, professionalism and bravery. They all deserve medals for the actions taken to rescue these boys. Helicopters with FLIR, Special Forces, ground troops, heavy weapons they deployed with speed!!! This is by far more impressive than the rescue the Americans were praised all over for recently. The Troops and commanders deserve more than just praise. 12 Likes

Xbee007: He argues like there's a screw loose. The Bell Helicopters can be armed with J6-C rocket pods, they have armour plating, they can fly and conduct ISR at night, they can be armed with 50 calibre machine guns. How do you possibly arm them again, man!!!! If this was an American led operation it would have been non-stop praise singing. 8 Likes 1 Share

FoolaniBandit: Bros, there is nothing wrong in seeking alternative measures to peace. What the Katsina Governor did is not wrong, we cannot bomb and kill everybody. Even American with the world's highest weapons cannot, that's way they are currently negotiating with the Taliban. The Katsina Governor's approach has been previously tried successfully in Nigeria with the Niger-Delta militancy. In Australia the government bought weapons from private individuals too. Kinetic and Non-Kinetic approaches to peace work. 1 Like |

bidexiii: No problem, I seeing a lot of people saying ran some were paid and quoting a sum in dollars, while I'll not dispute or agree to this, the way I see it, the terrorist were cornered, their supplies were running out with no access to more suppliers(collaborators wouldn't have even dared to go near the location) if the boys had died of starvation, they certainly would have been next(eating leaves and drinking from stagnant ponds on day 3)! They should evade justice! |

QuietMynd: There are abductions in America. Why should Nigeria, an active warzone be different? Security is everybody's business. Just so you know, our security agencies are not gods, they need the cooperation of every citizen to succeed. We have too many criminally minded people in Nigeria, that's the biggest problem. This country needs an urgent reorientation. 5 Likes |
