Yes, ebola in the south of Naai-geria.

What's the point of comparing yourselves to the others. Your minister said ebola would be eradicated by mid-September, but instead ebola spread.

Your minister is the custodian/champion of the anti-ebola fight.

And you are singing the praises of the anti-ebola fight. How can you do that when the custodian is clearly talking rubbish?

Yes, but cases of ebola outside of Sawyer's primary contacts have been reported in the far south.

And the certainty with which you say that ALL the cases are primary or secondary contacts of Sawyer shows me you're more interested in being a cheer leader than in stating facts. How can you he so sure? Based on what? You have no grasp of the seriousness of the situation. You're just like your minister who is more inclined to understate things.

Captain Jabu Mbotho is presently bringing his charge SAS Isandlwana to her home port of Simon’s town after taking part in the 10th iteration of Exercise Atlasur. This year’s exercise with the maritime forces of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay took place off the southern coast of Brazil at the beginning of September. Isandlwana, one of the SA Navy’s four Valour Class frigates, exited the Navy’s fleet headquarters on her transit to South America in mid-August.

High cases of deserters dangerous for military, Nigeria — TUC
on september 03, 2014 at 8:56 am in news



By Victor Ahiuma-Young
TRADE Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, has warned that increasing reported cases of deserters in Nigerian Army over lack of weapon to confront the Boko Harem insurgency is a dangerous trend that can destroy the army.
TUC in a statement also expressed concerns over incessant refusal by soldiers to take orders from their superiors in their fight against the Boko Haram when deployed to the stronghold of the terrorist sect.
In a statement by its President, Bobboi Kaigama, TUC expressed fear over the safety of Nigerians because if there was an external aggression today, Nigerians were strictly on their own as it appeared that there is no military to defend them since soldiers often ran out of ammunition at the battle front.
Kaigama expressed shock over the sudden incapacitation and begging status of the Nigerian military which bravery and professionalism in several peace keeping missions in Africa gave the country its title “the Giant of Africa.”
He said: “It is rather unfortunate that Nigerian soldiers that were once the envy and pride of Africa have now been reduced to a toothless bulldog in the battle front, begging for food, bullets and better weapons to defend their fatherland.This is a shame.
“It is pertinent to state that the allegation of mutiny by the authorities of the Nigerian military over the refusal by the ill-equipped Nigerian soldiers to obey the last order in their quest to defend their fatherland does not hold water. What transpired was the application of common sense because such a mission will be tantamount to suicide mission.”
Kaigama questioned the huge amount of N968 billion budgeted by the Federal Government in its 2014 budget to combat the Boko Haram sect and other terrorist groups in the country.
He noted: “The Nigerian military is at the forefront of the war on terror but it is doubtful if it can triumph. It is high time the government approached the war on terrorism with sincerity of heart because the government and the military forces have proved incapable of defeating a small army of insurgents whose activities are limited to the North-Eastern part of the country. This is in spite of billions of naira in defence spending since 2010.
“In recent years, Boko Haram has become more daring in its attacks. Apart from conducting suicide bombings, it has continued to carry out coordinated raids on military bases, police stations and villages’ unabated.”
On the issue of 480 Nigerian soldiers that fled into Cameroon following fierce fighting with Boko Haram insurgents as confirmed by the Cameroonian Army spokesman, Lt Col Didier Badjek, though denied by the Director of Defence Information, Major-Genenral Chris Olukolade, TUC president described “the incident as unfortunate because the protector of the people is now seeking safety in a foreign land due to lack of adequate weapons, an obvious fact that Nigerians are on their own.”


Hey dummy, Nigerian army is one of the most disciplined in the whole world ! We don't take nonsense from any soldier !

If there is truly any deserter in Nigerian army, they will be arrested, tried and shot !

The few mutineers of some months ago have been sentenced to death after court martial. I am not happy they will be shot, but Nigerian army has it's laws and they knew the law before they broke law. Sad, but Nigerian army must defend it's law and 150 year old reputation as the most experienced army in Africa.


I am waiting for South Africa to sentence to death ALL your 250 soldiers who ran away from Seleka C.A.R. Bangui as deserters.

Also, I am awaiting for South Africa to sentence to death all your SANDF army union members who refused to go to war against Seleka.

However, from news reports and @THIZA's photos posted here, I am aware that South African army has decided to give medals of honour to it's cowardly deserters, as running away is a sign of Glory and Honour in South African military.....reason why United Nations put your cowardly army under the command on Tanzania and African Union put SANDF under the command of Nigeria in 2015.

The world knows your army is proud of deserters and mutineers, nation of genetic and incurable cowards tongue tongue

1. No one ran away
2. You dont know what desertion is

You tell this lie over and over and it only goes to show your lack of moral fiber.

reason why United Nations put your cowardly army under the command on Tanzania and African Union put SANDF under the command of Nigeria in 2015.

1. UN selected him as they could not afford a South African General's salary
2. Your office monkey AU boy has ZERO South Africans under his command - Infact, Nigeria was barred from taking part of the AU's new elite rapid response formation that is led by... South Africa cool

And, btw, your Army is not 150 years old and you are no where near Africa's most experienced.

Patchesagain: KC-390 just finalized its testing run

And it can carry a Badger.

and Brazil is a BRICS ally

..... interesting

Why are you spamming nairaland with multiple handles?

The KC-390 is a medium lift transport plane in the class of the G-222. It's a nice transport plane, but if you're in a desperate need of transport planes like south-africa, it is a waste of resources.

South-africa is also an insignificant member of brics, south-africa only joined brics because they (BRIC) wanted an African representative to make the group look more inclusive. On all indices the BRIC nations are light years ahead of south-africa. Trade between the BRIC nations is also small, neither do the nations have anything in common politically.** Notice the "BRIC".

Nigeria is a better representative of the continent of Africa, and would continue to be.

Lest i forget, South-Africa is Broke!!!

1. Its BRICS

In 2010, South Africa began efforts to join the BRIC grouping, and the process for its formal admission began in August of that year.[15] South Africa officially became a member nation on 24 December 2010, after being formally invited by the BRIC countries to join the group.[15] The group was renamed BRICS – with the "S" standing for South Africa – to reflect the group's expanded membership.[16] In April 2011, the President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, attended the 2011 BRICS summit in Sanya, China, as a full member.[17][18][19]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRICS#Entry_of_South_Africa

2. South Africa is not broke - and has far more financial muscle than Nigeria

South Africa
revenues: $88.53 billion
expenditures: $105.5 billion (2013 est.)

Nigeria
revenues: $23.85 billion
expenditures: $31.51 billion (2013 est.)
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2056.html

Take a look at our budget, its looking good buddy
http://www.fin24.com/Budget


3. We are a major member of BRICS

In 2010, South Africa officially became a member of BRICS. Compared with the other BRICS countries, South Africa’s size, population, and economy are quite small. Do you think that Nigeria would be more representative of sub-Saharan Africa? What value does South Africa add to BRICS?

BRICS is not decisively about a politico-economic grouping of comparable economic-demographic stature, though that is certainly one of the determining factors in deciding the membership. South Africa’s entry into the BRICS on December 24, 2010, was a Christmas gift to itself. Even though it has a much smaller population and economy as compared to Nigeria, other factors worked in its favour – its vast natural resources such as gold, diamonds and platinum, its excellent infrastructure, its established corporate footprints, a culture of innovation, easy access to finance for business, a stable macro and micro financial climate, an advanced banking system, and functioning regulatory frameworks.

South Africa is already the voice of the continent at various international forums. It is poised to serve as a base as well as a gateway for investment from the BRICS countries to the vast market of a billion Africans.
http://www.fairobserver.com/region/africa/why-south-africa-brics/

4. Brasil and India are not light years ahead of South Africa
5. Trade is not the focus - technology, finance, the stimulus of development and reduced competition are
6. Nigeria does not have the development, technology, financial or political clout to join BRICS

Your post reeks of butthurt

Enjoy being irrelevant
