@Abduljawadd The annoying thing is the price quoted by Oyo state govt is grossly over-inflated. But the intent to try to tackle the security situation is what I am concentrating on.
Steal money as they must….but at least try to solve problems
The Oyo State Government received two Diamond DA42 MNG surveillance aircraft yesterday, configured as multipurpose Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms.
🛩️ AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATIONS AND CORE CAPABILITIES
Based on the DA42 twin-engine platform, the aircraft are optimized for extended surveillance missions.
🛑 ENDURANCE: Can remain airborne for 8 to 10 hours on a single patrol.
🛑 ENGINES: Powered by two fuel-efficient Austro AE300 engines, which are relatively quiet and produce a low acoustic signature, making them difficult to detect.
🛑 SENSORS: Equipped with advanced electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensors.
🛑 DATA TRANSMISSION: Onboard mission computers can process and transmit live video, thermal imagery, and geospatial coordinates directly to command centres in real time.
@Abduljawadd Prioritizing security and progress means they can each not only buy such aircraft but establish a robust security system in no time. But ……
A deliberate action taken against insecurity. The northern states who should be at the forefront of such moves, their governors have prioritized stupidity
That's a Diamond DA-42 surveilance plane, also used by the NAF. One aircraft can cover a flight range of 2,269 kilometers with an endurance of 8 to 10 hours during continuous patrol missions. Decent acquisition by the Oyo State government.
Oyo State is the largest state in Southern Nigeria by land mass, with total land area of approximately 28,454 square kilometers. There's no way they have enough ground officers to patrol such an expansive landmass, so aerial surveillance will help them cover more ground quickly.
Unpopular take: if you’re staying back to fight for a better [insert country], you should actively be in politics. Otherwise, you’re just staying back.
When we are done making jokes.
Let us remember that a plane crashed in Edo State Nigeria.
There was no emergency evacuation.
There was only 1 fire truck, No ambulances in sight, No airport police, nothing looks like if anyone was hurt with serious injuries they had a chance at survival.
People were seen walking on muddy road paths to get away from the wreckage.
This is Nigeria.
This is our reality.
By the time Tinubu is done, the power at the federal level will be minimal. The best path forward for each tribe is to consolidate into a region and develop itself. Not trying to be president where there will be very little.
BREAKING: President Tinubu Approves Expansion of Nigerian Army to 12 Divisions, Recruiting 28,000 Additional Personnel
Here is the full list of the 12 Divisions after President Tinubu’s approval:

The subsequent phase, which involves the establishment of the 83 Division and additional reorganization, is anticipated to be finalized by December 2026.

‘Four police officers have been detained by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command for allegedly extorting N53,000 from the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, Dr Musa Aliyu (SAN), during an illegal stop-and-search operation in Abuja.’
‘He said the ICPC boss was forced to withdraw N53,000 through a Point of Sale operator and even paid the transaction charges before the officers shared the money among themselves.’
‘The officers mounted an unauthorised checkpoint around the Banex area of Wuse after leaving their respective duty posts and extorted the ICPC chairman without knowing his identity.’

The Nigerian Police never fail to prove this allegation against them.
Our people have found “peace” in not appreciating the actual cost of such thievery!! Hospitals, schools, roads etc are the opportunity cost. Let’s not talk how it all contributes to insecurity
I theorized that what the EFCC seized from Malami could be only a small fraction of what he stole, and people are treating it like a joke.
We have screenshots of Malami transacting in Bitcoin.
For all we know, much of our money may have been converted into cryptocurrencies, while these buildings served as a distraction for the Nigerian government.
Remember, Malami became a SAN at just 41. He served as Attorney General and oversaw criminal prosecutions across the country for eight solid years. Do you really think he doesn’t know the EFCC inside and out?
OPPOSITION IS NOT A CRIME
Former and current Attorneys-General deserve respect, fairness, and due process in all legal matters.
The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the permanent forfeiture of 48 out of 57 properties linked to former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN.
The forfeiture of Abubakar Malami’s properties by EFCC is nothing but a political witch hunt to destabilize the opposition.
Well meaning Nigerians must kick against this injustice.
"...President Tinubu will be sitting very, very close to Donald Trump in the front row of the United Nations General Assembly, that you get from me. Don't ask me how that was arranged, but he will be sitting. The President of Nigeria will be sitting in the front row. And he'll be speaking at a time when Nigeria will not be sleeping..." - Jimoh Ibrahim, Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations
