- I just knew it. They will still act rubbish In 1993. Soldiers were not using Toyota Hilux, but trucks They used steel helmets, not ballistic helmets They used pouch collars and not flak/frag jackets. The civilians are not even dressed like it's 1993.In 1993, a Nigerian Airways flight was hijacked by 4 young men. The rest is history. Hijack '93 is coming 25th October โ๏ธ
00:00 - We finally entered Shekau's base with little resistance. Immediately setting fire to the camp and everything in sight. 6 years ago, this wasn't possible. He had thousands of fighters in that forest. You will fight till your ammunition finishes, and they will catch you by handAt what point did it become clear to you that this life is Vanity? What happened?
- I am a soldier. How do I tell my commander that also has kids and is at work that I want to attend my child end of the year party?? Which eye e go use take look meChildrenโs end of session party, 97% present parents are mothers, 3% are fathers. Children will forever lean more towards their mothers ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ญ
- Thatโs incorrect. Under Section 217(2) of the 1999 Constitution and Sections 7 & 8 of the Armed Forces Act, only the President as Commander in Chief has command authority over the Armed Forces. Ministers, including Defence, have administrative oversight, not operational control.Itโs surprising how many people donโt realize that cabinet ministers rank above all service chiefs. As long as their orders are lawful, all service chiefs are required to follow directives from a minister. In particular, the Minister of Defense has the authority to issue
- We didn't buy them, we earned them. It may not be much to you, but it means something to us. It's evidence of the sacrifices made in the line of duty for this great nation
- In case you didn't know, a mile is about 1.5km. To you all that worship U.S marines, i guess you can now agree that we are the best on the ground. They purposely removed our troops' effort in Black Hawk Down. God bless the NA God bless our officers and men
00:00 - If your instructor ever catches you sleeping and collects your rifle, especially during training You will understand why a body of water separates Spain from Morroco
00:00 - 1st Liberian Civil War 2nd Liberian Civil War Sierra Leone Civil War Congo Darfur Mali Lebanon Somalia Cote 'd'ivoire Central African Republic We won all Now for your beloved U.S Korean war - lost Bay of Pigs invasion - lost Vietnam war - lost Invasion of Grenada - wonReplying to @TrueGritNGMention one war Nigeria won and I will mention 5 USA won
- You should not try to overtake or break a convoy for security reasons. A police vehicle swerving through all lanes is telling you to stop or not come close, but as Nigerians, you won't listen. You must do what is on your mind because most of you have coconut headsDear @cenbank did you instruct your Convoy drivers to endanger the lives of Nigerians especially on 3rd mainland bridge? This is reckless regardless of the justification. You can guard your convoy without endangering tax payers.
00:00 - Nigeria has some of the most experienced combat soldiers on earth Out of every 10 soldiers, 8 have seen combat 5 out of those 8 have seen combat more than twice 3 out of those 5 are still in combat 1 out of those 3 is going back againStart a problematic discourse that can have you this position:
- These are the people who truly matter, the ones who see us and rejoice. But you, living behind gated walls in the city, can never understand what they have gone through. And I pray you never do, because if you ever face it, you too will see soldiers arriving and rejoice like this
00:00 - Replying to @TrueGritNGDesert Camouflage was not really common back then save except for those serving far up north. The standard issue was the green camo, and the pattern/colour is totally wrong.
