Just like you ran away from town after town inside your own country and allowed allmost 10 000 civilians to die and 1,5 million be displaced


The Nigerian military has almost concluded missions that can only be categorised as miracle marvels.

On the other hand,

Spineless SANDF troops were left looking like a bunch of girls at a Primary school parade.





The battle of bangui, your were roundly and utter defeated, you begged for mercy and fled. French and FOMAC troops had to clean your mess.

"A source with the United Nations in Bangui said the South Africans had asked for assistance from French forces to help them leave the country."

"Bangui - South African soldiers in the Central African Republic are seeking safe passage to the airport after taking heavy losses during fighting with Seleka rebels, Reuters reports."



"Amy Martin of the UN's humanitarian agency, OCHA, told the BBC World Service that the SA troops had retreated to their barracks and were seeking safe passage to the airport."


"Seleka spokesperson Eric Massi said the rebels had broken through a line of South African soldiers during their push into the city."

89 murders is untrue - as has been proven many many times (stop wasting our time with old arguments)

Nigeria has now had 2 civil wars

What is your GDP PPP? O yeah - sorry about that

the Medical Research Council's statistics reveal that 89 murders are committed, on average, every day in South Africa.


32, 485 people are murdered every year in South-Africa.


Every year is a civil war in South-Africa


To show how useless GDP PPP is, Equatorial Guinea has a GDP PPP which is $53,000, yet they are amongst the poorest countries on planet earth.

No, it was only 1 ship that fired. It also was the South-African navy who took the shots.

The Headline clearly states it was the SAN.

So, if it was the 76mm, what did the South-African Navy ship use to shot at Mr Day in pitch darkness?......... 5.56mm?


Go read the first article published after the incident by Mr Dean Wingrin on Defenceweb, no were does it state that it was a SAN ship that fired those shots, secondly on SAAF forum he himself said he suspects it was a German vessel that fired the shots.

They stood their ground fought hard and forces seleka to negotiate.

The force commander went to the air port several times to check if it was still opened.

SA forces didn't suffer heavy casualties.

In fact, the correct stats is over 20 000 including insurgents and soldiers. The fact is there are more people killed in Nigeria than in SA, there are more massacres and misfortunes in Nigeria than that in SA.

GDPppp btw isnt the per capita of GDPnominal you get GDPppp per capita as well as GDPnominal per capita, ppp and nominal are just two different ways of calculating GDP of a country, but any way i understood what you meant......or i think i do?

So what you are saying is, because the people in EQ are rich, but they have a small population therefor EQ is poor?

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASHAMED THAT ONLY A FEW SOUTH AFRICAN SOLDIERS MANAGED TO HOLD HEAVILY ARMED REBELS TO A STALE MATE WHILE THEY WERE HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY FROM HOME.

NIGERIAN SOLDIERS LITERALLY FAILED ON THEIR HUNDREDS OF BATTALIONS TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY WHILE THEY WERE IN THEIR SHORES AT HOME WHERE THEY DO NOT EVEN REQUIRE TRANSPORTATION.

"You've practically wasted your time in School"
I had to literally teach you the difference between GDPppp and GDPnominal, the fact that you actually thought that GDPppp meant GDP per capita is shocking to say the least.

And yes i knew what EG's GDP per capita was, dont know why you even bothered posting it.

Your own source:
"The country which was so poor after independence from Spain in 1968 that it was reputed to have offered itself to be run by neighbouring Cameroon for $1m (£559,000), is now one of the fastest growing countries in the world."

The fact is that the average person in EG, economically preforms better than the average person in Nigeria or SA for that matter.

YES, TWO TIMES MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN NIGERIA THAN IN SOUTH AFRICA A DAY, NOW BECAUSE OF OUR SMALL POPULATION IN RESPECT OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOMICIDE, THE MURDER RATE BECOMES HIGHER.

The 22-page United Christian Action report by Robert McCafferty, is based on original source documents, government archives, the Central Statistics Service, Interpol, the South African Medical Research Council statistics, and many other sources


the "easiest way for the police to reduce the crime rate is simply to do nothing but record only those crimes where a case number is absolutely mandatory ." Numerous experts are quoted as suspecting "serious under reporting"; "perhaps these figures are concealed for political reasons '; "the reason for this under reporting could be the desire to change the ongoing reputation of South Africa as the crime capital of the world."


the Medical Research Council's statistics reveal that 89 murders are committed, on average, every day in South Africa.


32, 485 people are murdered every year in South-Africa.



Equatorial Guinea has a per capita GDP of $53,000. Yet it's citizens are one of the poorest countries in Africa.

GDP PPP is absolute trash, always has been and always would be as it doesn't represent the actual facts on the ground.

Nigeria has a GDP of $524 billion dollars. We are Africa's largest economy a it's true giant.


You live in a murderous society were 89 people are killed a day and have a second fiddle economy.

Don't worry, the Egyptians are coming to push you down further.


Don't tell me what your GDP grew in the 4th quarter of 2014, tell us what your GDP for 2014 was?

South Africa's economy grew by 1,5% in 2014,



With these numbers, even I would be embarrassed. You barely escaped a recession. Shame!
"the Medical Research Council's statistics reveal that 89 murders are committed, on average, every day in South Africa."
The MRC statistics that your are quoting are from June 2003, nearly 12 years ago, thus are totally outdated, South Africas murder rate has decreased by 20% from 1994-2013 and according to crimestatssa there were 16914 murders in 2014.

Unfortunately there are no reliable murder statistics in Nigeria, thus nobody knows how many murders really happen in Nigeria

"Equatorial Guinea has a per capita GDP of $53,000. Yet it's citizens are one of the poorest countries in Africa."

"GDP PPP is absolute trash, always has been and always would be as it doesn't represent the actual facts on the ground."
Again you dont understand the difference between GDPppp and GDP per capita or GDP as a whole for that matter, thus it will not be worth my time arguing on a matter you clearly know nothing about.

And the good thing about South Africa's economy is that its sophisticated and diversified, thus the risk of SA's economy slipping into a recession are much slimmer than that of the Nigerian economy, so you better start praying that the oil prices start raising soon or you guys are screwed.

You are yet to show how at my age, I would say a solid steel tank floats on water, you are the one who says radar didn't see that boat because it was night....i gave you basic science education that radar is a wave and day or night makes no difference because radar waves just need a solid object to bounce on.

You are obsessed about my work as a military research, it gives you daily inferiority complex....that's why you sing it like a song.....keep singing....empty barrels make the most noise gringringrin

I said that small fiberglass objects have significantly reduced radar signature, meaning that the gunners would have to rely on secondary targeting systems.

Water enters the barrel augustus. Admit it, you didnt know what a breech is.
