No, 150 ammo per man in Nigerian army for rifles only, is a training doctrine of every bullet counts.....sharpshooting.

See, we target Boko men's heads, one bullet, s.kull is drilled with a hole....see heads with holes in these photos, that is what Nigerian army will do to SANDF, your photos and training has not allowed you to know what it means when a sharp-shooting enemy fires back at you in retaliation...

Patchesagain: Complete proof that the SANDF are not directly involved in APU duties:

Retired Major General Johan Jooste told a border surveillance technology co-operation seminar that one of the biggest problems facing him in the ongoing campaign against rhino poachers was that of turning people trained as conservationists – rangers – into “operators”.

“I ask myself if it’s right to train people whose function is protection of species, from grass through to birds and animals to become almost like Special Forces operators.

“When rangers go on patrol in search of rhino poachers they are up against an enemy who comes into Kruger for one to four days at a time with the express intention of killing rhino. He has the bushcraft and skills to survive on very little for that period of time and I am putting people in harm’s way trying to stop and apprehend him.

“Sure their job is to protect species and anti-poaching operations are part of it but it is a worrying aspect of current operations in the Kruger National Park.”


“Anti- and counter-poaching operations will remain a collateral task for soldiers and other military personnel deployed on border protection (Operation Corona) until there is a focus shift,” he said adding good training and doctrine would, in time and if deployed, be an asset against poachers.

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

South-Africa is an insignificant member of the BRIC. You were only allowed into the organisation so as to give the African continent a representation. On all economic indices, Brazil, Russia, India and China are light years ahead of you.

There is no comparism, both in economics, population and in growth. You economy slightly escaped a recession. You live in the most un-equal society in the world. White south-african households make 10 times the income of blacks. There are only 18% blacks in the middle class, the rest of the Black population live under the poverty line, this despite blacks making up 87% of the entire population.


BRICS bank, south-africa is contributing only $5 billion to the $100 billion dollar fund. This shows how irrelevant you are in the BRICS and further lays credence to the fact you're nothing but an expendable member of the group.

China is contributing $41 billion
Brazil, $18 billion
India, $18 billion
Russia, $18 billion.


We can see how not needed and useless south-africa is, in the BRIC.

Patchesagain: 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

Nigeria's budget is pegged at $60 per barrel of oil.
Oil accounts for 69% of all nigerian exports
Nigeria has an opec quota of 2.4 million barrels per day. We produce upto 4 million barrels of oil per day.

Now, do the calculation

You(south-africa) are a broke country.

Patchesagain: 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/

You are an irrelevant, very expendable member of the BRIC nations. FACT!!!

Patchesagain: 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

Oh yes they are. You do not contribute anything to the BRIC. Dangote would contribute more to the BRIC than south-africa.

"Out of the total initial capital of $100 billion, China will contribute $41 billion, Brazil, Russia and India would give $18 billion each, and South Africa would contribute $5 billion.[19] It is scheduled to start lending in 2016."

Uselessness of south-africa.

A.W.B has thousands or supports and our intelligence crushes any form of advance they try to make the only think they can do is whine and hold their rallies.

And don't forget that there are plenty of A.W.B supporter who are amongst South Africa's richest people, and our intelligence agencies monitor many of these right-wing extremist including their High ranking leaders, our guys monitor their finances and their movements to make sure that even if they do get international funding we know about it.

When the white men inside your intelligence and military decide to covertly support their white A.W.B brothers then you will know how cigarette burns when it is lighted inside your trousers.

You don't know what a die-hard insurgency is, there are Boko Haram members in Nigerian army stealing Nigerian weapons and giving them to Boko Haram. There are Boko Haram members in Nigerian army giving information of troop movements to Boko Haram.

Only a fool will think it is easy to fight a war when the enemy has sympathizers inside your own force ready to betray you secretly.

Sure South Africa has zero experience of that kind of war.

The day the white supremacists in South Africa get support from inside SANDF and intelligence agencies, then you will know how ignorant you have been.

Even America will sweat in that situation. Enemy within is 10 times more dangerous than enemy outside.

Pray South Africa never sees that kind of war, instead of coming here to boast that your country can easily defeat a kind of threat you have never seen before. You think your Frigates and Submarines will stop the faith and ideology of a terrorist?

Uhm dude that's why we destroy that kinda ish before it gets too big of a problem to deal with, its like the level of crime in S.A many our politicians ignored it until it go out of control and that's one of the lessons we had to learn the hard way.

And don't bring in the U.S.A into dish, we both know crazy Sh*t would happen if there was an insurgency in the U.S and don't bring up Afghanistan and Iraq because that's different from being at home.

But away I didn't say it was easy to defeat B.H the initial argument was that S.A special forces are Better trained and experienced than your guys. We have better skills.

America just came from a very big and very large scale Vietnam war about 15 years before Iraqi war.

Same American fought world war II to Korean war about 10 years later. America is always fighting big wars, they are now back in Iraq against ISIS just after the finished Afghanistan war.

Stop writing rubbish that America has no war experience.

Germany, until the day they face Russia again since the last time 1945, then we will know how good they are.

The German military can defeat a weaker nation based on advanced technology and large number of sophisticated weapons.

South Africa is 100 times weaker than Germany. Don't compare

South Africa has NEVER used 4th generation jets in combat.

South Africa has NEVER used BRV missiles in combat and you don't even have any BVR today.

South Africa has NEVER used her Gripen and Hawk jets in battle.
