[/b]The fact is most of the people questioning the rescue of these boys are politically motivated.

They don't have the interest of the boys at heart, they just want an opportunity to blame the government in power.[b]

Among the kids interviewed, one stated that they ate leaves to sustain themselves and some of their abductors were as young as they themselves but armed.

A rescue operation would have been catastrophic, it will be difficult for the troops to differentiate kids belonging to the party of the abductors and the abducted kids. Many of the school kids will die. The government did the next best thing after preventing the abduction in the first instance.
You people will still complain had it been that they attempted a rescue and one of those kids had died.
So drink water and rest.

"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 manufactured with armour plating.

I think the Air Force requires 4 more units of Bell 412. The aircraft seems to be a proper work horse.

they have armour plating, but that's just protective glass for the pilot, fuel tank sheilding and reinforced swashplate. all these will succumb to machine and assault calibre. even the apache avoids infantry fire by all means possible. helicopters require more power per mass than planes. no aircraft is bullet proof they just leverage on altitude, speed and manverablity.

There is an assumption that he who makes the loudest noise wins the argument.

Look at the leader of IPOB and his narcissistic tendencies. Then look at the majority of his misguided and I'll informed illiterate members.

If IPOB should become a political party then campaign and hopefully win every state government, national and state legislature election. And through very peaceful means actualize thier dream, it will.be very easy.

I can assure you IPOB will struggle to win a single seat outside of Umuhai.



I wander why Nnamdi kanu can create his own party. The main aim and objective of the party should be the south east becoming an independent country.

I won't lie, Nnamdi kanu have a lot of followers on the south east.

TROOPS OF OPERATION HADARIN DAJI NEUTRALIZE ARMED BANDIT, RECOVER WEAPON AND ARREST CRIMINALS IN ZAMFARA STATE

1. In continuation of efforts to forestall banditry and other criminal activities in the North Central Zone of the Country, troops of Operation HADARIN DAJI have sustained its aggressive fighting posture in the Zone.

2. On 17 December 2020, troops of Forward Operating Base Shinkafi, while on night patrol, came in contact with some armed bandits at Bakinruwa Riverside in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State. Accordingly, troops engaged the criminals who fled in disarray due to troops’ overwhelming superior firepower. During the encounter, one of the armed bandits was neutralized, while 2 of them were arrested. One AK-47 rifle and a loaded magazine were also recovered from the criminals.

3. In a related development, on 18 December 2020, troops deployed at Shinkafi arrested one Zainab at Shinkafi town in Shinkafi Local Government of Zamfara State. The suspect was found roaming the town in police uniform. A preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is from Birnin Magaji Local Government Area of the State and has been involved in defrauding unsuspecting members of the public. All arrested suspects have been handed over to appropriate prosecuting agency for necessary action.

No helicopter is completely safe, no matter how well protected, that was why the initial criticism of the heli was unwarranted. These are the same helicopters that have been used by the NAF in the NE for operations since inception, and again, they did their job. If it wasn't suitable for the role, it won't be used.

An American Chinook was shot down by RPG with SF on board some years back in Afghanistan during an attempted rescue and killed all on board.

You can never have enough helicopters. More tactical troop carrying and utility helos are needed like yesterday.

Leave these ones... They are just joining the fray. They do not understand that it was the rot and lack of direction in those days that ensured Jonathan didn't return.

Today there are more positive differences. We may not be where we are supposed to be (in fact we are quite far off) but one sure thing is that we have made loads of progress and if we only would continue and up the momentum, we can claim some measure of progress.

Buratai Inducts New Artillery Guns, Inaugurates New Army School of Artillery Headquarters Complex

Kachia (Kaduna State), Dec. 19, 2020 (NAN) The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, on Saturday in Kachia, Kaduna State, inspected and inducted new set of artillery guns and equipments to be deployed for operations in the North East.

Buratai also inaugurated the new Headquarters complex for the Nigerian Army School of Artillery (NASA) and also inspected several ongoing projects in the school and the barracks community.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the Federal Government through the ministry of defence procured the brand new artillery guns and equipments.

The guns are field artillery pieces and some of the equipment are vehicle ultra-light carriage for artillery and self propelled light gun series whose identity and specification is not to be published for security reasons.

Speaking to journalists after the commissioning ceremony, spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Brig- Gen. Sagir Musa explained why the chief of army staff was in the NASA which is to inspect and test fire the guns.

He said that one of the COAS main priorities included, "ensuring a conducive working environment for officers and soldiers of Nigeria Army.

"It was in this vein the COAS commissioned the ulta modern Nigerian Army school of artillery Headquarters here in Kachia today which you just witnessed", he said.

"Giving the quality of works done, that singular act is commendable and will help in enhancing productivity of officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army School of Artillery".

"The new artillery guns inspected by the Chief of Army Staff will be inducted into the Northeast Theater of Operation Lafiya Dole in the North East", Musa said. (NAN)
