Empiree:
You get it.

Some of our African people, especially Christians will attack Islam because they don't understand anything.

Just like Muhammad back in the day.

Go and rest this your Taqiyya

helinues:
Proxy attack.

The West should rest

@helinues

You are incorrect here. Go to one of my NL threads which you can read in the NL link right BELOW with articles and video reports on the activities of these West African Sahelian jihadi groups CLEARLY documented for more insights.

It's NOT a proxy attack funded by the West at all. It's an open secret to those of us who have deep insights on geopolitical dynamics and advanced security issues that more than half of Burkina Faso and more than half of Mali including parts of Niger Republic are under the control of JNIM since the French left and the Russians came in and floundered badly under these young military coup plotters.

Even JNIM (the Al-Qaeda-d jihadi group) has been carrying out attacks, illegal mining, and kidnappings in Northern Benin Republic and Northern Cote D'Ivoire for over 4 years now and it's very CLEAR that Western military intelligence and will be needed more than ever before instead of the irresponsible pride that those inexperienced military boys are displaying in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger Republic by expelling French and American troops and military advisers and replacing them with the highly inneficient Russians military advisers because things have gotten WORSE.

There's too much hype around this young Burkina Faso military guy called Traore. He CANNOT handle these Jihadists alone. He and those other countries of Mali, and Niger Republic should be humble enough, link up militarily with Nigeria, the rest of ECOWAS and the United States because Mali, Burkina Faso, and Mali are posing a VERY BIG risk to Nigeria's security [due to the infiltrations of these foreign Mali, Niger Republic and Burkinabe jihadi groups into Nigeria and Benin Republic and other ECOWAS countries] with their poor handling of the Al-Qaeda called the JNIM terror group which has it's headquarters right in Mali and has over half of Traore's Burkina Faso and Mali and Niger Republic under their control. Yet, I keep seeing highly uninformed young people praising Traore and those other military guys in Niger Republic and Mali who miscalculated in the war against the JNIM and in expelling and the U.S.

JNIM Islamists group is already using Northern Ghana as a logistics base to secretly buy medication, petrol, food, engage in mining for precious minerals (like they have done in Northern Cote D'Ivoire) and much more. They ALSO CLEARLY have NOT hidden the FACT that they want to start attacks on Ghana and take over Ghana which is still relatively untouched to jihadi attacks.

I hope you have a better understanding of the situation in the West African Sahel region now.

Mehn, terrorism is something else. Now thinking of a new place to bring terror to. And these jhadis groups now use attack drones, a federal rep of chibok/damboa/gwoza constituency who visited Chibok confirmed it .
FPV drones changed the frontline in ukraine, russian infantry can't carry out ground assault like before.
Well, i am currently living in capital of yobe, 30-40km away from the town(buni Gari) they attacked last weekend. A lot of casualities. I feel trapped here.

@Kushme

You've spoken VERY impressively here as you are also an eyewitness of events right in the North East of Nigeria. Indeed these criminal jihadi elements are using drones now which definitely could have come from Iran via Yemen's Houthi rebels who got some attack drones from Iran. The theatre of war has indeed changed and Chad and Niger Republic territories are NO doubt providing a safe haven from these groups using drones to attack Nigerian locations in the North East.

So, Nigeria has to use more superior weapons to counter these jihadi groups (who want to impose their evil wills on others) by getting more advanced attack drones and surveillance drones and use advanced satellite-based tracking technologies to pinpoint the exact locations of these jihadi gangs. We will NOT let them win and collaborations with the United States to use their platforms and sharing military intelligence will help. There's no need for Nigeria to be ashamed of doing that as other countries are doing the same thing to eradicate crime on a global scale.

Also, the use of coded biological weapons and mind programing tactics to make these terror gangs backed or d to Al-Qaeda docile can be used on them to minimize heavy spending on weapons. This MUST be a top secret initiative.

Stay safe where you are in Yobe and get out when you have the chance to the safer areas of Kano or Adamawa States if you notice the situation is degenerating further. Capital cities are usually safer and well-guarded though). But I trust that with the further meetings that the Nigerian President had 2 days ago with the NSA (Nuhu Ribadu), senior military officers and service chiefs, they will implement creative non-kinetic strategies to deal with especially those jihadi elements using drones to attack locations in Yobe and Borno.

ryloy:

The Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), an of Al Qaeda, says 200 soldiers were killed during an attack on a Burkina Faso military base.

The base in the northern town of Djibo came under attack on Sunday morning, with hundreds of fighters overrunning and destroying it, security sources told Reuters at the time.

A police station and market were also targeted, they said.

On Tuesday, the SITE Intelligence Group, a United States based non-governmental organisation which tracks online activities of Islamist militants, said JNIM had taken credit for the assault.

At the time, the Burkinabe death toll was pegged at 60.

On Thursday, SITE said the terrorist group increased the death toll to 200, Reuters reported.

There has been no official government confirmation of the attack or the death toll.

SITE previously said Ousmane Dicko, head of JNIM in Burkina Faso, had appeared in a video urging residents of Djibo to leave the town for their own safety.

In recent times, militants have ramped up attacks in Sahelian countries as the government continues to grapple with a renewed insurgency.

Last week, JNIM claimed multiple attacks in Burkina Faso as Ibrahim Traore, junta leader, visited Russia where he met with President Vladimir Putin.

On April 24, the Benin Republic government said JNIM killed 54 soldiers.

In Borno, north-eastern Nigeria, Boko Haram fighters reportedly killed at least five soldiers during attacks on military bases.

Many of the posters on this NL thread are highly ignorant, misinformed and do NOT know what is really going on around them or in West African Sahelian region in this fight against the jihadi groups (especially the deadly JNIM) based in Mali where they have the headquarters and Burkina Faso.

How can these young people right from page 1 be typing misinformation by saying that the attack is being sponsored by the Western countries to remove that young military guy called Traore (when those of us who are vast in global geopolitics and advanced security issues know that more than half of Mali and Burkina Faso are under the control of JNIM Islamist gangs with links to Al-Qaeda for years now) and things got WORSE when the innefectual Russian military advisers got involved after Mali, Niger Republic and Burkina Faso naively kicked out the French and the Americans which is a total blunder!

Sir, you have made a lot of great points and given real time solutions, like the reconnaissance drones,both Ukraine and Russia are using it. if only our military would listen to people like you, get the necessary help,collaborate with the United States, knowing they can't do it alone.
Just to state a concern about this attack drone tech this evil jihadis groups have acquired. It's a real and imminient danger to us like this.

Last week, Ukraine Airforce stated that they successfully intercepted 60 drones in a night. The report also stated that, 108 shahed type drones were launched by Russia that night. The air defense units operate under the command of the Ukraine Airforce. Correct me if i am wrong Sir, i don't think we have an air defense system in place to intercept these terrorists attack drones.
The shahed type drones are from Iran, So, now i see your point clearly on the [b]Iran-Yemen's houthi rebels who got some attack drones from Iran. So, who knows, attack drones controlled by evil jihadis may start flying into the capitals attacking civillians. I am really scared for this.[/b] No bunkers

The coded biological weapons and mind programming tactics, in order to minimize heavy spending on weapons are extremely important. Cos, these brain-washed jihdis are fighting with determination, as for the coded biological weapons, i hope they don't use it on the population someday, like how the airforce would drop a bomb killling the wrong set of people. Truth don't lie. If you kill the wrong set of people and you lie to the public about it, it's just a matter of time the citizens become the victims of the threats you never eliminated. This is what we are experiencing here.

The aspect of minimizing of heavy spending on weapons. The Chibok Rep said, from 2016 - 2019, the Federal government has given the military close to NGN19trillion for weapons and ammunitions, that he has the documents. You see, they would want new money for new weapons and maybe air defense to intercept attact drones and the rest.

We hope the meeting yield a result that can help us stay safe from these senseless and deadly assaults.

We need our defenders to show ingenuity.
Well, as for my safety, like i said earlier, i feel trapped. Work brought me here, the contract has since expired, i now teach and looking for a way out. With no shame, i don't have the financial resource or means to leave and resettle, i don't even earn up to 40k per month, its hard to tell. Yobe to Adamawa is 15k -17k, it's suicide to follow the short cut route, that's Gujba(buni gari, buni yadi) to Biu, then enter Adamawa. So, going through Gombe is safe. A lot of lives lost on this axis, Nuhu and two other guys i know were executed by the evil Jihadis last year on this same road, they were on their way from Damaturu to Adamawa for the farming season.
I am guilty as well, i have followed the road two times, cos it is shorter and cheaper to Adamawa.A Family member warned me to stop, stating if i don't have the means to go through Gombe, i should stay back.

Again, i have asked couple of friends for any job opportunity away from here, some have their own challenges, the generous ones would send something they could spare while some have their reasons for not ing at all. I don't know, maybe some of them don't want me to leave, so that they could have a gist on my demise,use me as a stat when talking about the Jihdis terror. . As a minority from NE(Adamawa), i had both my primary and secondary learning in SW then moved to Borno for Uni education. Yes, been to other places, i am now here and wish to leave.
The sad thing is, after each attack people count their losses, talk about it for few minutes to hours and move on, until another attack. I don't want to die here.

@kushme

I appreciate your deep insights here which I carefully read over again.

You are clearly well-informed on the goings on in Nigeria and globally as well.

The "Shahed-type" drone attack defense systems in Nigeria? Nigeria has none BUT can quickly upgrade because some oil and gas money is available (which is the advantage Nigeria still has over these jihadi gangs). Iran actually sent some military logistics to Russia in the ongoing Russian-Ukraine War and this Shahed-type drones are part of them. The Iranians have really surprised me over the years with their advanced leap in technology since the 1979 Revolution that removed the Shah of Iranian (Shah means King) and brought in the Shiites led by Ayatollah Khomeini. There are still Iranian Jews in especially Shiraz and Tehran in Iran and other Iranians who schooled in the Western countries and are very brilliant in academics and research. Iran currently manufactures planes, surveillance and attack drones, intercontinental missiles, military planes (that CANNOT be detected by radar just like the American Stealth fighter jets and bombers), agribusiness machinery and more. You do know that the current Iran used to be known as Persia until as recent as the 1970s and everyone dressed like Western Europeans (Even in the 1970s Afghanistan)... NO long hijab-wearing women until the Shiites Muslims came in the 1979 takeover, (the land of Cyrus the Great and Emperor of Persian Empire which colonized the Babylonians and even the ancient Israeli tribes and imposed their Zoroastrian religion on them and that is how the Pharisee branch of Judaism (the name "Pharisee" is derived from Parsi or Persia) evolved from the Persian colonization. Judaism is an "imperfect copy" of the Zoroastrian religion based on the worship of a Universal God of heaven with a holy representative on Earth called "Shah han Shah" (King of Kings) the Persian Emperor. It's important to remove the Iranian Shiites rulers one way so that they do NOT share advanced technologies with terror elements which will be bad for mankind's safety.

You are right about that route going to Adamawa being quite unsafe especially at night from past information. The Gombe route should be OK. It's good to know that you are indeed from the Middle Belt region section of the NE of Nigeria (or Adamawa State). The Nigerian Civil War veteran and hero Brigadier-General Benjamin Adekunle's mother hailed from the Bachama people of Adamawa State who were many in the Nigerian Army back then and bravely fought on the Nigerian side in the Civil War of June 1967 to January 1970. Brigadier-General Benjamin Adekunle's father was from Ogbomoso in Osun State. Raymond Dokpesi's mother too hailed from Adamawa State. Raymond Dokpesi's father was from Agenebode in Edo State.

Several decades back, I attended an elite boarding high school in Nigeria with very well-spoken and brilliant folks from the Old Gongola State (now Adamawa and Taraba States) which improved my understanding of Nigerians and cultures despite living in Lagos and having to travel up to one of the major commercial Northern State capitals to attend boarding school by road or fly by Nigeria Airways (which was cheap back then for students). I assumed originally that you are either from Southern Yobe (or even Southern Borno being sister-states based on your clarity of writing and thinking). I ire your courage and the fact that you had your early education in the South West before moving closer to your ancestral home region of NE (to attend l guess Unimaid). I would like to suggest that you move out of Yobe as your intuition leads you (write out with clarity the pros and cons on paper of staying in Yobe and leaving Yobe) if the opportunity comes up then get closer to Adamawa State where you can easily get cheaper ancestral farm lands (and include agribusiness as part of your career path) to complement what you studied in the higher institution (because farmers have become big time multimillionaires where there is relative security) and Adamawa is closer to Cameroon where you have a vibrant agricultural belt with honey, Cameroonian giant plantains (or popularly called "Ogede Agbagba" in Yoruba language), then international trade can take place from there. Supplies can later be made to especially Lagos and other states with large populations after due diligence. There are several NL threads over the last 20 years and then YouTube videos you can on your laptop that deal with organic agriculture, sack farming for yams and vegetables, soilless farming, green house farming, hydroponics, value addition and food preservation to avoid spoilage of excess farm produce, giant plantain farming using improved disease-resistant varieties from IITA in Ibadan and the nearby Cameroon, etc, I will explain more below to show how agribusiness and urban farming, small, medium and commercial farming are the way forward for feeding individual families and others while making huge ROI. There's a young guy still in his 20s based in Jos, Plateau State (who returned from the UK after opted out of Uni studies) and now manufactures actual farm tractors and farm machinery including making a sports car and his story has been featured on YouTube and posted on NL.


It's shameful that Borno and Yobe States that used to be MAJOR hubs for bulk beans buyers and a profitable aquatic centre because of the vast Lake Chad (before climate change kicked in from the early 2000s and reduced the size of that important lake, hence triggering economic hardship and escalating the Jihadi violence).

A few years ago, I reading how 7 Yoruba men who are big time bulk beans dealers travelled from Ibadan to Maiduguri to buy beans in BULK as major dealers and were eliminated by this BH jihadi gang on the major road to Maiduguri and that was during the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency years. Borno/Yobe people are largely NOT lazy. Based off of my past readings and watching interviews, many of those men and women interviewed in Borno IDP camps were millionaire or multimillionaire farmers. I was shocked seeing a thin looking man in the IDP camp who looked well fed in photographs taken in the past when he was rich as a farmer BUT these worthless jihadi just came and chased them out of their ancestral and farmlands in Borno State rendering these rich farmers poor. So, it's clear that indigenes of those places are NOT lazy except for some who allowed extremist religious ideology to mislead them.

Even in Kaduna State right now, security has been restored to some major farming communities such as Birnin Gwari by the t efforts of the current Kaduna Governor and the Tinubu-led Federal Government and I saw the video of the billionaire (in Naira) Kaduna farmers of Birnin Gwari (which is said to be the most fertile agriculture belt in Kaduna State) thanking the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Kaduna State Governor for bringing peace between the Hausa farmers and Fulani bandits, which has enabled them to go back to their farms and individually make billions of Naira worth of bumper harvests (since they last did active farming over 10 years ago in Birnin Gwari) from beans, maize, rice, and other bags of commodities. Each big time farmer was interviewed in the TVC YouTube video by the brilliant Kogi State-born political analyst Babajide Kolade-Otitoju of the internationally popular "Journalists Hangout" and each of the farmers CLEARLY stated the numbers of bags harvested and the value made in billions of Naira. I thought I was dreaming when I heard the enthusiasm in the farmers. Farmers all over the world are rich people if done right and this is where relative security comes in to do business. Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Zamfara, Borno, Yobe, Kebbi, Niger, Kebbi, Kwara, Kogi, Edo, Ondo, Delta States, etc, have absolutely NO business with food insecurity caused majorly by foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits in their agricultural hinterlands with added security and each of these States must be given the permission by the FG to buy advanced surveillance and attack drones to monitor their forests to pick up unwanted foreign bandits and eliminate them promptly.


About the use of biological weapons, yes, that negative side is there (especially for the traditional biological weapons made from germs and viruses) and I don't want to give too much away for security reasons, but since you are learned, there are ways Nigeria's brilliant University researchers like in the University of Lagos for instance can come up in top secret military-University collaboration programs with "nano technologies" that can be used on these gangs of jihadist and bandits to make them mentally docile and innefective to fight. The advanced countries already have these biological weapons that if you are injected or something, you will become innefective. That saves money on buying many expensive weapons as well. We have to move globally and quickly against these Jihadis because they do NOT mean well for making.

I've never meet you before but I felt your vibrational energy and thought to inspire you more and trigger some deeper insights in you because I perceive you to be a brave young man living and working right in Yobe in the midst of tensions. Despite all these, those in Maiduguri for instance are still magaging to move on with their lives. You will succeed in life with ONLY raw determination... Just look out for problems in the ecosystems around us and creatively solve those problems for a large number of people by "monetizing" your creative solutions.

Enjoy the rest of the work week.

Cheers.

Borno/Yobe people are largely NOT lazy. Based off of my past readings and watching interviews, many of those men and women interviewed in Borno IDP camps were millionaire or multimillionaire farmers. I was shocked seeing a thin looking man in the IDP camp who looked well fed in photographs taken in the past when he was rich as a farmer BUT these worthless jihadi just came and chased them out of their ancestral and farmlands in Borno State rendering these rich farmers poor. So, it's clear that indigenes of those places are NOT lazy except for some who allowed extremist religious ideology to mislead them.

Even in Kaduna State right now, security has been restored to some major farming communities such as Birnin Gwari by the t efforts of the current Kaduna Governor and the Tinubu-led Federal Government and I saw the video of the billionaire (in Naira) Kaduna farmers of Birnin Gwari (which is said to be the most fertile agriculture belt in Kaduna State) thanking the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Kaduna State Governor for bringing peace between the Hausa farmers and Fulani bandits, which has enabled them to go back to their farms and individually make billions of Naira worth of bumper harvests (since they last did active farming over 10 years ago in Birnin Gwari) from beans, maize, rice, and other bags of commodities. Each big time farmer was interviewed in the TVC YouTube video by the brilliant Kogi State-born political analyst Babajide Kolade-Otitoju of the internationally popular "Journalists Hangout" and each of the farmers CLEARLY stated the numbers of bags harvested and the value made in billions of Naira. I thought I was dreaming when I heard the enthusiasm in the farmers. Farmers all over the world are rich people if done right and this is where relative security comes in to do business. Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Zamfara, Borno, Yobe, Kebbi, Niger, Kebbi, Kwara, Kogi, Edo, Ondo, Delta States, etc, have absolutely NO business with food insecurity caused majorly by foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits in their agricultural hinterlands with added security and each of these States must be given the permission by the FG to buy advanced surveillance and attack drones to monitor their forests to pick up unwanted foreign bandits and eliminate them promptly.


About the use of biological weapons, yes, that negative side is there (especially for the traditional biological weapons made from germs and viruses) and I don't want to give too much away for security reasons, but since you are learned, there are ways Nigeria's brilliant University researchers like in the University of Lagos for instance can come up in top secret military-University collaboration programs with "nano technologies" that can be used on these gangs of jihadist and bandits to make them mentally docile and innefective to fight. The advanced countries already have these biological weapons that if you are injected or something, you will become innefective. That saves money on buying many expensive weapons as well. We have to move globally and quickly against these Jihadis because they do NOT mean well for making.

I've never meet you before but I felt your vibrational energy and thought to inspire you more and trigger some deeper insights in you because I perceive you to be a brave young man living and working right in Yobe in the midst of tensions. Despite all these, those in Maiduguri for instance are still magaging to move on with their lives. You will succeed in life with ONLY raw determination... Just look out for problems in the ecosystems around us and creatively solve those problems for a large number of people by "monetizing" your creative solutions.

Enjoy the rest of the work week.

Cheers.

Thank you Sir for taking your time to carefully read my reply. I appreciate you.
I wished i had someone like you to guide me in life, earlier. You speak history and wisdom. i never had a mentor, most things i knew were due to curiousity and observation.

I ed when Bristow Group Inc shortlisted few of us for cadet pilot training interview, i was hopeful, i could theoritically fly a
helicopter then. Only the best three(3) or four(4) got the offer then(2013/14) out of twenty-something(can't the specific nember) of us shortlisted to attend the interview at Lagos, Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Ikeja.

Again, would i say, i wasn't lucky? cos, all i wanted was to fly an aircraft in my life. I wanted to be a Pilot.

This is so enlighening, i knew they were called persians but not the rest you talked about, they are new knowledge to me. Thank you for the insights. It is surprsing to know that iranians once dressed like Europeans. History is full of surprises. This Shiite people like drama. I was in Kaduna in 2016 when their followers blocked the motocade of the a former COAS who was on his way to the depot in Zaria, the rest is history. What are the West really doing about the Shiites, like you mentioned. "It's important to remove the Iranian Shiites rulers one way so that they do NOT share advanced technologies with terror elements which will be bad for mankind's safety ".

I hail from Adamawa and the Bachamas are neighbour, just 45mins to an hour drive to my LGA(Guyuk). Our cultures are similar.However, they're known compared to us(Lunguda). Sir, you sound like the noble elites i was once privileged to sit and listen to at Ikeja Golf Club,GRA. A friend invited me. I had the opportunity to sit, listen and observe learned, well-informed and well traveled elderly men speaking. Great experience. Wow, I never knew these illustrious men, General Adekunle and Sir Dokpesi had Adamawa affliliate. Our culture is motherland. Then, some of our neighbours called my late mother Mama Gongola. .

Sir, i guess that elite boarding school would either be in Kaduna or Kano? . I believe most of your alumni are the Technocrats in MDAs and Economic affairs of our nation. You guessed right. I attended Unimaid. All my time in Unimaid i only flew to maiduguri once, courtesy, Oga Umar, from Kd-Maid.

As for clarity of pros and cons on still staying in Yobe. To be honest, if not for jihadis terror attack and limited job opportunities. There's nothing wrong with this place. I cultivated and harvested beans two years ago. There's now a federal structure on the land, so unfortunate. I the Oyo beans traders terrible circumstance. We truly need a safe Nigeria to travel and carryout our lawful business without fear of getting harmed by men of twisted and wicked mindsets.

Yes sir, it is a clear fact, when it comes to farming, people here are not lazy, during raining/farming season, you will see a lot of people, even out of school children(9-12) holding hoes looking for people to hire them on their farms.

Just the other day, i saw the TVC correspondent doing their thing on Church Street, Jarusalem beside Glad School. Yes, those big time farmers interviewed by the famous BKO(Babajide Kolade Otitoju) of Journlists Hangout, had funds to invest in the farm, many of us don't. Most people affected by boko haram are farmers. Either subsistence or commercial, farming is a way of life here, and people still need the of stakeholders. Thank you for the reminder, i have been looking into hydroponic system of farming, lately.

Like you said, the advance surveillance and attack drones to monitor the forests, picking up unwanted foreign bandits and eliminating them promptly and nano tech are the ways to go.

Lastly, i appreciate your every word of encouragement and would like to meet you someday, i know myself not to give up, easily. Things are rough right now,but i believe in better days. Forgive any typo, i am using a phone to type. I don't have a laptop.

@konquest

It is an honor to be having a conversation here with one of the few veterans on this site. I learned from comments like yours in the past years, things have changed here. A lot of people from your time left and never returned to contribute again due to these notorious paid trolls. hired by ipob to derail threads, plant hate speech and plant disinformation online in order to destabilize Nigeria as accurately EXPOSED in the May 2022 investigative video by the "BBC Global Disinformation Team" Nairaland is a good website.
wow, some still plant this hate speech without even getting paid. Most of them hate a lot for no genuine reason...

To me Nairaland is still a great site for many of us. If not for NL where would i be opportuned to meet and discuss with brilliant minds with wealth of knowledge and experience in real time like yourself ?
Yes, respect to your vast knowledge,sir. Knowing our people and culture here, its rare to find people from the South who would effortlessly state miniority ethnic groups from the North like the Bachamas, Lungudas, Mbulas, lalas,Kilbas, marghis, Mumuyes, Jukuns,Tangales, Kumos, Chams etc...

So, check if your home state has a BOI office and also get to know the requirement and go for training through paid seminars and ongoing workshops in whatever field you want to specialize in.
Thanks for this Sir, i will call my sister in Yola to check on the BOI office for me and what is needed to be done. Well, before i call her, i would check on the BOI site to see the useful infomation i can get. Take my time to watch those Youtube videos you ed. These videos would be helpful to folks(interested) who would stumble on this thread.

Yes, i knew His Excellency Obj and some prominent men have agribusiness on the Gongola plateau.

Last but not least, go to the YouTube page of the Bank of industry and watch or right on your laptop all their videos on those farmers and industrialists they have sponsored and funded over the years including Abayomi Ogundeyin, the U.S.-edducated engineer and CEO of ProForce Defence Industries, in Iperu, Remo, Ogun State that manufactures APCs and MRAPS [Ara or Thunder in English] used in the fight against these bad jihadists by the Nigerian military and exported to foreign countries and even Innoson was given money to grow by BOI.

I think before now, i have seen a documentary on ProForce Defense Industries. Impressive. Never knew BOI gave him money, even Innoson. Concerning defense, the COAS met with Gov Zulum some days back, he said they need 32 drones to end the insurgency, that each drone is costing about 5.5million dollars.
If my math is correct:
Exchange rate: $1 = NGN1,500
Each drone in dollar = $5,500,000
Each drone in Naira = NGN8,250,000,000
Therefore: 32 drones would amount to = 32 × $5,500,000 = $176,000,000 (176million dollars for 32 drones).
176 million dollars in naira should be 264billion.

So, they need an estimated amount of 264billion naira at the exchange rate of 1,500 naira to a dollar to buy 32 drones to end the insurgency. Gov Zulum said, they are boko informant in the military and among politicians. Hope, the military won't come to FG, asking for more money to buy another 100 drones to end the insurgency. Now, Is the 32 drones for Borno alone, north east or Nigeria? Now i see why i truly your ideas on biological weapons and mind programming in order to minimize large spending on weapons.

Thank you for channelling my mind to this BOI. Lastly, Sir, i wouldn't mind if you could share your email address with me, cos, i would love to reach out to you beyond NL. Not until i come here to mention you before i get a reply. Thank you for the info again.
My address on the profile.You don't need to put yours. The bot or a mod keeeps removing my comment. I don't know why.

@kushme

I hope you're doing OK in your State of residence and have made some headways based off of some of the resources I shared here with you.

I've noted the specifics in your last very fantastic post right ABOVE. I like the total costing of the drone purchases that you made in that post. This so-called new NL AI system deleted my original reply to your post after I quoted it and got hit by a ban. It's a very unusual thing that's happening these days on NL that posts keep getting deleted automatically and this insidious problem has not yet been fixed as promised by the dude who owns this discussion forum on his thread.

Have a great day ahead.

Cheers.

Yes sir, i am doing OK. Thank you for asking. I believe you are hale and hearty. To be honest sir, i have not had the time and clear mindset to go through the resources you shared due to some issues, however, i skimmed through the BOI site. I noticed it mostly s existing businesses. So to say, when i find the time to consume every necessary infomation from the BOI, then, i would be able to see options and ways to go about making an informed decision.

The first time i noticed the ban. I had to re-type, screenshot before hitting the submit bottom. Yes, the problem has not been fixed.

Best regards and stay blessed,sir.
