Patchesagain: Nope, SANDF is fighting against armed Guma Guma gangs who kill, rob, r.ape, etc. That is why the source says it's dangerous operation : "SOUTH AFRICA: Troops reinforcing a porous and dangerous border". Your troops wear no kits at all, doing a dangerous operation in a danger zone where SA police has surrendered to superior Guma Guma firepower, leading the SA govt to deploy army elite paratroops there. Your SANDF wear no kit in danger zone where bullets kill. |

FighterPilot: Are you really a university graduate? Can you read simple English? The report says the gangs rob and kill, gangs so well armed that South African police with rifles have surrendered and handed over the fight to SANDF. Fake BSc you have, you cannot even read your own source and quote correctly. |

FighterPilot: You need to prove they are in red area, mumu. The second soldier has no gun, no rifle, not armed. The first soldier is standing inside his securely fenced base fully protected by a high steel perimeter fence, see his sleeping tent and personal domestic household items behind him under his tent....you this fake military academy graduate, you cannot even identify an army base.

But the governor, on Monday, maintained that the naira was 'appropriately priced,' telling the Financial Times Africa Summit he would not allow a policy of 'interminable adjustment' as this would only cause more pain for Nigeria’s 170 million people.The naira lost more than 20 per cent of its value between the start of the oil price fall in July 2014 and February, the last time the Central Bank allowed the currency to depreciate. http://tribuneonlineng.com/if-we-devalue-naira-again-we-will-kill-nigerians-says-cbn-governor |

RAG TAG ARMY Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged to investigate allegations made by Amnesty International that accuse senior Nigerian military officials of war crimes violations in the offensive against radical Islamist terror group Boko Haram. http://europe.newsweek.com/nigerias-buhari-vows-investigate-allegations-armys-war-crimes-328218 STORIES OF A RAG TAG ARMY When Islamist militants raided the northeastern Nigerian village of Izghe, killing 90 people, some government troops dropped their weapons, stripped off their uniforms and fled in civilian clothes, according to two soldiers who were at the scene. The soldiers said the troops were angry their monthly pay had been cut in half to 15,000 naira ($92) without explanation, heightening their belief that money meant for them and their front-line fight against the Islamist militant group Boko Haram was being siphoned off by officials in Abuja, the capital. “Somebody is sitting comfortably in Abuja stealing our money, and we are here facing Boko Haram fire every day,” Shu’aibu, a lance corporal, said in a June 11 interview in Yola, capital of Adamawa state. He spoke on the condition that his surname wasn’t published because he’s not authorized to comment. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-07-15/nigerian-troops-say-corruption-saps-will-to-confront-islamists @AUGUSTUS WHERE IS THE MONEY FOR THE MILITARY HARDWARE?? The arms purchase probe panel that was set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to probe contracts executed during the administrations of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to former President Goodluck Jonathan, has started sitting with not less than 13 allegedly indicted retired generals opting for plea bargain. A highly placed defence source at the weekend told Nigerian Pilot Sunday that the retired generals numbering 13 out of the 19 that are expected to be quizzed by the probe panel have already approach some members of the panel for amicable settlement of the matter than appearing before the panel. According to the source, a former National Security Adviser is allegedly the arrowhead of the negotiation, if the members of the panel will accept their request. The security source further added that the 13 retired military chiefs are willing to refund N1 trillion to the federal government as part of the plea bargain arrangement http://www.babreports.com/2015/08/30/buharis-arms-deal-probe-13-army-generals-admit-loots-to-return-n1trillion/ 1 Like |

@AUGUSTUS HERE IS THE LIST OF THE ARMS PURCHASED BY YOUR RAG TAG ARMY AND THERE IS NO MENTION OF HELICOPTER GUNSHIPS....FIGHTER JETS....AND THE LIST LOOK SO UNPROFESSIONAL LIKE IT WAS DRAFTED BY A SIX GRADE CHILD. The Nigerian Times (NT) has obtained the alleged list of weaponry items bought for the needs of the Nigerian army last year. This comes after the former national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki, shared images of weapons attained by ex-president Goodluck Jonathan to fight the Boko Haram insurgency. Indications have emerged that a massive supply of military hardware was received on January 27 of the last year. The NT reports, with reference to its military source that some of the purchased items were computerised and manned with cameras capable of detecting enemy location from long distance. This was to ensure more effective fight against the terrorists.

FighterPilot:what is your definition of a "Red area". Analyse that picture and tell us why you think it is a red area. Otherwise you are just stabbing the air in the dark, with the hope that you hit something. Right from the beginning of this thread we have always had one issue and that issue is the attribution of new definitions to terms to suit our arguments. Some people even go as far as creating new terms and terminologies while some scums go behind the scene to edit international open source information banks such as Wikipedia. Please tell us why that is a Red zone. That picture could have been taken from anywhere in Nigeria. |

overhypedsteve: Your so called agubugubu, the fake researcher thought there will be no time a soldier will ever walk without a helmet in a red area or zone refering to how he's been ignorantly commenting about how SANDF soldiers are not wearing their helmets in what he thought was a red zone. I deliberately picked one of his pictures where the soldiers appeared not to have worn helmets to indirectly show him that it is not always soldiers would wear helmets even if they are in a red area. Within that red zone there are areas which have been stabilised, where soldiers can walk without uncomfortable helmets just to ease their head of a heat created by helmets. Thank you. |
