Thiza: NIGERIA DOES NOT HAVE POLICE SPECIAL FORCES TO DEAL WITH HIGH RISK SITUATION AND PLEASE DO JUSTICE TO SOUTH AFRICA BY NOT COMPARING A RIOT POLICE MILITIA WITH SPECIAL TASK FORCE

You have only 90 men in that special task force, will that save you from 1,000 armed terrorists ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Task_Force_(SAPS)

When situation gets bad, you will call in your army, if you have 10 trouble spots across South Africa's large land mass of about 1.2 million square kilometers, 90 men will NOT even save one small city.

Nigerian Police has Cobra APC and BTR-3U APC that are used by the best European armies around the world, South African Police Special Forces have NOTHING like that.

Nigerian police have many 12.7mm anti-aircraft/anti-light armour heavy machine guns, with gas grenade launchers that can paralyze the heavily armed enemy force until we call in the DSS or Army if necessary....

In 1879 the Zulu army, probably the finest light infantry militia that ever took the field, caught a column of the professional British army on the march at Isandlwana, and crushed it. The Zulus had iron spears and cowhide shields, and the British had rifles that could fire 10-12 rounds per minute, plus cavalry and artillery.

In 2014, Nigeria's professional army stands by helpless as Boko Haram runs rampant in the northeast. The army has AK-pattern rifles, belt-fed machine guns, anti-armor weapons, mortars, APCs, and tanks, plus support from fast air, helicopters, and artillery.

Whatever equipment shortages the Nigerian army has, they are far and away not the biggest reason they have trouble with Boko Haram.

That is only 18 men out of 30,000 Nigerian soldiers in the battle zone, no country has 100% perfect men in their army. The men were not even tried for cowardice, they were tried and convicted for mutiny in protest of leakage of information by some Islamists in the army who leaked their platoon's information to Boko Haram and they were ambushed in a safe zone.

The death sentence is sad news, no joy that people will be shot/executed for a crime, but it shows Nigerian army has one of the best disciplined armies in the whole world, zero tolerance for misbehaviour or cowardice, even any deserter we catch will be tried and shot d.ead by court martial law.

If you think the story you posted is a minus for Nigerian army, NO ! You are actually showing the world how disciplined we are, South African army gives medals of honour to your soldiers who deserted Bangui for fear of Seleka rebels, and your SANDF Army union was bold enough to publicly protest and refuse government call to return to C.A.R. and fight back at Seleka that disgraced South Africa a whole regional power of SADC....Your in-disciplined army had to shut up for those cowards to have their way.

South African army = 100% tolerance for cowardice and misbehaviour

Nigerian army = 0% tolerance for cowardice and misbehaviour

We are the NO-NONSENSE army of Africa !
