Best of luck to them.

cap28: HANDS OFF MALI YOU EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN DEMONS ALONG WITH YOUR WEST AFRICAN LACKEYS AND SLAVES WHO ARE RUSHING TO HELP THE WHITE MAN STEAL THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF A FELLOW AFRICAN NATION

SHAME ON ANY AFRICAN WHO SUPPORTS THIS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY AND WESTERN ANNEXATION OF A SOVEREIGN AFRICAN STATE!!!!

stup.id slaves of western imperialism - go and secure mali's gold, uranium and other valuable minerals for US and French corporations - africans due to poor education and lack of exposure will forever remain slaves of the europeans.

what business does nigeria have fighting a war against their fellow africans on behalf of france and the united states ? this is another chapter in the long saga of US/EU invasion and occupation of the african continent under the pretext of fighting a fictitious war on terror - a war that was created right out of central casting studios in hollywood.

nigerians stop beign cowards and pawns of the europeans - who created al qaeda? if you can answer that question you have already gone halfway to resolve the problem of boko haram in nigeria.

THE ONLY WISE PERSON ON THIS THREAD SO FAR. KUDOS BRAH

ROSSIKE: You people just criticise blindly without thinking. If those same forces were American or French you would not say a damned thing. But it is Nigeria, so you think you can open your mouth to talk trash. Maybe it's your inferiority complex. Why not let the military commanders who are highly trained, unlike you, do their jobs? You should simply keep quiet since you have zero military training.

That is not blind criticism Mr. Patriot.

Even the more advanced French troops alighted seperately from their cargo.

You shld кnoω that any incoming plane whether personnel or cargo carrier will either land in a Buffer zone, military base or a fortified airport which in this case the malian troops will have secured ppre-arrival.


*they can't land in a spot that is not secure*


Constructive criticism is wat makes the status quo to change and eventually improvement ( if necessary is made).


As a Nigerian we are under duty by law to always criticise and challenge the status quo sa as to improve.


*Your confused patriotism is the kind of attitude that has brought us to this sorry state as a nation and as a people, and that is "Mediocre"*

@cap28: The Nigerian troops can double-cross both the Americans and the French, by defeating the Islamist militants and collaborating with the Malian people to guard their natural resources.
We all know that the Alqaeda elements in Mali, are a creation of the CIA and other Western forces.
Nonetheless, Nigeria a should also benefit from Mali's natural resources:; Nigerian mining companies should be given the most lucrative contracts for exploration

@Lacasa: Some other poster said that the Nigerian troops took such a precaution, in order to prevent a repeat of what happened in 1990, when our troops were ambushed at the airport.

AFRICAN LACKEYS GO AND DIE FOR A CAUSE THAT WILL NEVER BENEFIT YOU OR YOUR GRAND CHILDREN, SEND YOUR YOUNG MEN TO DIE FOR EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN MINING CORPORATIONS THAT ARE HELL BENT ON MILKING MALIAN NATURAL RESOURCES DRY, GO AND DIE FOR NOTHING - STU..PID FOOLS, THIS IS WHY ILLITERACY IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMAN CIVILISATION, HAD IT BEEN THAT THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN HAD A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM THE NIGERIAN GOVT WOULD NEVER GET AWAY WITH SENDING YOUNG NIGERIAN MEN TO DIE FOR NOTHING.

some ppl don't realize that the main aim of Nigeria sending troops to mali is not to gain from Mali mineral but to curb and if possible eliminate the activities of terrorist INSIDE NIGERIA,we are in Mali to make sure that these terrorist dont have a safe heaven to train and attack Nigeria , it has got nothing to do with gold or mineral resources , on this issue i will give gej a pass mark

The best dressed soldiers in Mali!
Looking nice and fly
They ought to have made their body Armour,the same colour

Crap don pollute the thread! This thread is for Nigerian soldiers and their admirers!

Cap2 You are a f00l.

The Insurgency in Mali is already affecting you in Nigeria. The nations of Mali, Niger Republic, Libya and Chad are all hot spots for terrorism.

Your Boko insurgency gets both weaponry, training and ideology from these same elements.

It's a dangerous neighborhood and you can either chose to act like an ostrich or do shiit about it

This is what I keep telling cap28. Last night me and him spent over an hour arguing this same thing. We have no choice but to 'play the game'. He acknowledged that the reason the west was arranging all this terrorism was to create conditions that would repel China and consolidate the west's 'hold' on African resources. So I asked him. What do we do?

Sit back and let Arab Islamist fanatics overrun our countries? We've no choice but to engage them. It is not our job to protect China's interests in Africa. That's China's job. But Beijing just sits back as usual and allows the west to scheme all these things, so what do you expect? WE in Nigeria are not going to fight the west. Or oppose them too much. They buy 90% of our oil!!

What China needs to do is to come out of their shell, pull out like a half trillion dollars, or even one trillion, and start sowing some seeds of influence in Africa. Militarily, politically, economically. Cos at the end of the day, money talks and bullshit walks.

ENSLAVED AFRICANS CONTINUE TO BE USED AS PAWNS AND LACKEYS OF WESTERN IMPERIALISTS LIKE FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES:


IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY THAT FRANCE INVADED, OCCUPIED AND REMOVED A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT IN IVORY COAST, THEY ARE NOW BACK AGAIN TO CONTINUE WHERE THEY STOPPED - WHERE IS ALL OF THIS LEADING TO? WHEN WILL ALL OF THIS END, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHEN WILL COMATOSE AFRICANS WAKE UP AND REALISE THAT THEY ARE BEING RE-ENSLAVED?

WE ARE NOW AS AFRICANS EXPERIENCING THE REPETITION OF THE BERLIN CONFERENCE 1885 MINUS THE CONFERENCE, THE MOST TRAGIC PART OF IT IS THAT OUR ELITE ARE ACTIVELY COLLABORATING IN OUR RE-ENSLAVEMENT.

Wallie: Crap don pollute the thread! This thread is for Nigerian soldiers and their admirers!

what is there to admire in an outfit that has more civilian body counts (and from her own citizens) than actual military kills?

An outfit that proudly gave us corrupt despots like OBJ, IBB, Abacha, Buhari and co?

This is how real a soldiers is supposed to look like

cap2, if the west dont get it, the Chinese will

This war will create a lot of wealth for many Nigerians but there would be loss of lives

Ok but how does what you wrote detract from the fact that Nigerian soldiers have admirers?

timeless wisdom

“Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.” – Charles Dickens, 1844


"Charity should begin at himself.” – John Wycliffe 1383

if the room next to urs in on fire , will u go to sleep and pretend it doesnt concern you or you will help quench the fire , Nigeria cant afford to stand back , all our neighbors are affected , Niger ,chad and all others even ghana has started feeling the pinch gradually because rebels have started launching attacks from the other side of ghana borders on Ivorian soldiers.the western powers may have another hidden agenda but as far as nigeria is concerned and as far as west africa is concerned these Islamic extremists must not be allowed to have a safe heaven in Mali the best way is to push them back to north Africa , that is why all ecowas states are joining in this war. it will most likely be a long war because Mauritania is not joining and the terrorist might find a safe haven there

Blast dem mofos to hell. Naija its an honor to serve ma country.

Once again, Am proud 2 b a Nigerian. O boi, dis guys luks sexy. D camor is on point, d shoe is splendid. Dos guys luks healthy and ready 4 war. I luv Nigerian Army...

WHERE DID THE WEAPONS COME FROM?

WHY DID THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE SUPPORT AL QAEDA IN THE OVERTRHOW OF QADAFFI IN LIBYA AND THE ONGOING ATTEMPT TO REMOVE BASHAR AL ASSAD IN SYRIA BUT SUDDENLY HAVE TURNED AGAINST THE SAME AL QAEDA IN MALI?

A quote from Eidowuo Arazaqi

Eidowuo Arazaqi

I don't support an ancestor simply because is popular, what interest me, doe is work profit black race, Islam of today is an Arabisied Islam and does not profit black race but profit present Arabs for their political mission in Africa, the Muslim of present Islamic Arabs is never same to prophet Mohamed Ideology of cal-iph-te, Arabs kill over 120 million blacks in the pass, the ideals of sherial of present Arabs Muslim then is to exterminate black race, they defend slavery in Islam as a means to defend their evil to black specs,they know that the real prophet Mohamed ideology is that of sufism in Timbuktu, that is why they destroy the Monsque, wicked people profit ignorant brothers fidelity to Arabisied Islam ideology to destroy black race,Islam and Christian are both anti existent of black specs, is only God that keep our existent up till now. i was born Muslim but today, i can never be a Mulism or Christian, i pray very well to God in the name of Eledumare,fools that their fellow human beings claimed their way is wrong, my ancestor know God before the Asian Arabs Muslim and European Christian.Go to hell stupidity mr ignorant.

Wallie:

admire what? What military history do they have? what pedigree has the Nigerian Armed Forces in terms of outstanding Men of valour and honor has graced her uniforms?

If I was a premeireship Fan I would admire a team that is either currently playing well or a team with good history.

The Nigerian army is a mediocre outfit!

Im still lost at the reasons why nigerian army have to go to mali and risk their lives for a course that have nothing to do with nigeria or nigerians or our interest. The west created this problem and yes, let them deal with it... its obvious when they wiped Gadaffi off the map for not surrendering his country's wealth to them, they were drunk and blind sighted by the greed of oil and gas,they were too happy to arm the islamic rebels with the latest ammuinition, now that that the same interest is at stake they are looking to recruit slaves in western african army to go die for a course they will never benefit from.... why is the UK not sending forces or NATO? When the west went into libya, you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the end result will be disastrous... we have seen how liberated iraq is, afganistan, libya and syria... no wonder countries like china and russia decided to take a back sit and laugh at the west, more so when the american ambassador to libya was slaughtered.

Aside the above, We have seen how Boko harem over the years have been terrorizing Nigerians in the north, we have no army to quench their thirst for blood, but we are ever ready to send the same army who are meant to implement order in the North to die needlessly in mali... Are Nigerians that stupid?

THESE SO CALLED ISLAMISTS - WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? WHO SUPPLIED THEM WITH WEAPONS, WHY DID AMERICA SUPPORT ISLAMISTS IN LIBYA AND SYRIA BUT NOT IN MALI? CAN'T YOU SEE YOU ARE BEING TAKEN FOR A RIDE BY US INTELLIGENCE AKA THE CIA WHO ACTUALLY ARE THE CREATORS OF AL QAEDA?

YOU THINK WE ARE FIGHTING A WAR ON TERROR? YOU MUST BE ON DRUGS- THE WAR ON TERROR IS A CREATION OF US INTELLIGENCE TO SERVE AS AN EXCUSE TO INVADE, LOOT AND RAP.E YOUR ENTIRE CONTINENT ALL OVER AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WITH THE AMERICANS AT THE HELM RATHER THAN THE EUROPEANS.

HOW CAN YOU SAY IT IS NOT OUR JOB TO PROTECT CHINA'S INTERESTS - THOSE INTERESTS ARE NOT CHINA'S INTERESTS BUT OUR OWN INTERESTS, WE SHOULD DECIDE WHO WE WANT TO SELL OUR RESOURCES TOO NOT THE UNITED STATES OR THE EUROPEAN UNION, WHY ARE WE SENDING YOUNG NIGERIAN SOLDIERS TO DIE FOR US AND EU MINING INTERESTS??

WE DON'T HAVE TO SELL OUR OIL TO THE UNITED STATES, WE CAN HAVE CHINA AS OUR SOLE TRADING PARTNER BECAUSE THEIR TERMS OF TRADE ARE MUCH FAIRER AND BENEFICIAL TO US, WHY ARE NIGERIAN ELITE SUCH COWARDS AND TRAITORS, LOOK AT THE LATIN AMERICAN NATIONS - THIS IS WHY CHAVEZ IS A MARKED MAN - BECAUSE HE CHOSE TO ADOPT A FAIRER AND MORE EQUITABLE SYSTEM OF GOVT THAT WOULD ENSURE THAT THE POOREST PEOPLE IN VENEZUELA WOULD BENEFIT FROM HIS COUNTRY'S OIL WEALTH, THE SAME WITH QADAFFI - ALL LEADERS WHO REFUSE TO SENTENCE THEIR PEOPLE TO A LIFETIME OF MISERY AND POVERTY UNDER UNITED STATES/EU DRACONIAN ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE IMF AND WORLD BANK FIND THEMSELVES WITHIN THE CROSSHAIRS OF AMERICA AND THE EU - AFRICA NEEDS A LEADER LIKE CASTRO OR CHAVEZ.

^^^ If you like Africa can have a leader like Hitlar it will not win against the West. if you can't beat them join them.

Jenams: I love the Nigerian Army! Kill those islamic bastards in mali as a warnin to blood suckin demons up northern naija!

Don't be a f00l again! You can blame that underachiever in the white house who is just interested in getting his name in the history books.

Isreal, Qaddafi and currently Assad all warned the U.S. about who the insurgents were.

As for France, and the rest of the world no one listens to the U.S. anymore as a result of Obama. The French are just trying to renegotiate their way.

But the big picture is that;

1. You have a lot of weapons moving in from places like Libya and even Egypt into the Sahara and eventually finding their way into western and central Africa.

3. You have within this corridor very weak central governments with little control over a vast border areas and regions such as Chad, Niger and Mali.

4. The insurgency in Mali started off as Tuareg demand for secession and just prior to the collapse of Libya's Qaddafi a lot of funding for the Tuareg's came from Qaddafi himself. (Qaddafi's mum was a Tuareg). Al Qeada had existed in the fringes of the Sahara in around the border region of Mali and Algeria and had been very active with the islamists of southern algeria and their jihadist course. The Tuareg formed an alliance with Al queda for both training and logistics.

5. The only unifying voice after the Arab spring has been that of electing hard line Islamist into offices. The Arab unification is on it's way for the first time ever prior to which was stalled by the presence of longstanding despots. The only unifying bond between the Arabs is their religion. Now that you have fanatics calling the shot in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya what stops them from unifying and forming a pan-Arabic state.

As much as you may want to be cautious of western powers you should not also underrate or ignore the ever dark presence of the Salafists and their harrowing plunder on Africa.
The insurgency in Mali has been taken over by the Salafist and is not under the control of the Tuareg's.

Enough reason for you and I not to sleep with both eyes.

In Nigeria I trust.
