BH is now capable of briefly capturing land. Nigerian soldiers are still running when BH attacks. I don't think this army would be able to deal with a sophisticated enemy that can hit with great precision and heavy weapons. 2 Likes |

The "Hilux army" soldiers would break rank and flee like they always do,if they had come across mechanized infantry attacking with Infantry fighting vehicles. The spokesperson of the Nigerian army just confirmed it that soldiers run like head less chicken,when insurgents attack.

Thiza: A true professional army whith nearly 30 Years of combat experiance ode. combat experience in arranged photo op. @mikeza just proved that the ones with the combat experience are rolling on wheelchairs. sandf is a photo military. that's why you will never be chosen to lead in any AU or UN combat mission. your photo army will soon be saying "yes sir" to a real military with proven modern combat experience in COIN and successful peace enforcement operations. professionals still look up to the big brother in policing Africa today. not photogenic military with shiny toys and inexperienced AIDS ridden cowards. eat your heart out. Nigerian general appointed as AU Standby Force Chief of Staff Brig.-Gen. Tijjani Kangbap Golau has assumed duty as the new Chief of Staff of the African Standby Force in the Peace Support Operations Division of the AU Commission. The News Agency of Nigeria in Addis Ababa reports that prior to this appointment Golau was Director, Nigerian Army Centre for Counter Terrorism and Counter Insurgency. Golau was deployed by Defence Headquarters to represent Nigeria in continental peace support operations at the AU Commission, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He replaced late Gen. I. I. Hassan who died in 2007, while serving in the same capacity at the PSOD of the AU commission. NAN reports that the officer is expected to enhance the full operationalisation of the African Standby Force base on recommendations of the report of Prof. Ibrahim Gambari-led technical committee. The Gambari committee had reviewed the progress and the challenges in the effort for the operationalisation of the force aimed to address the current regional and continental security challenges. The office of the Chief of Staff is expected to ensure the operationalisation of the African Standby Force with full capability by the target of Dec. 31, 2015. The African Standby Force was established following adoption of recommendations of the meeting of Ministers of Defence held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on January 20, 2004. This was in accordance with the AU Policy Framework for peace and stability of the continent. una think sey na only to dey snap photo. action speaks louder my friend. 5 Likes |

A true soldier stays to fight and win, Bokos are criminals and cowards who m.urder innocent and defenseless women and children...but Nigerian army is roasting the Bokos, UN and AU are impressed, they know SANDF will not survive a Boko Haram war, and luckily they have not been tested, but un-luckily they have not been rated too, so because they are unrated and cannot even be found on the rankings table, Nigeria becomes military boss over South Africa, we get the supreme job of leading Africa into battle from 2015 till the end of the world and kingdom come. SANDF keep your soldiers alive, avoid war, avoid death, make more photos....your destiny is to sit down at the bottom of the ladder in current combat achievement by the judgement of international organizations PHOTO : NIGERIAN ARMY, SOLDIERS WITH CURRENT ENEMY K.ILLING EXPERIENCE 2014, MEN WHOSE RIFLES HAVE 'TASTED' H.UMAN B.LOOD South African soldiers show your ZERO experience 2014 Nigerian soldiers show your HERO experience 2014 . 4 Likes

for the ignorant south African fools who foolishly deceive themselves that more than half of Nigerian population is poor or live on less than one dollar a day. here's another slap to your dirty ignorant facese. Only a Third of Nigerians are Poor, Says World Bank Going by the statistics released to journalists yesterday in Abuja by the World Bank, only 55.9 million Nigerians (about 33.1 per cent of the country's population put at 169 million) are living below the acceptable poverty level, a significant improvement from the figure released last February by the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS) which put the poverty level at 112.519 million (62.6 per cent). The World Bank also predicted a 7.4 per cent growth rate in the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The World Bank attributed the improvement in the poverty statistics to the positive economic trend as well as significant progress made towards poverty eradication in the country by the government. The poverty figure by the World Bank was drawn from its 2012/2013 poverty estimates while the one by the NBS was from the 2009/2010 estimates. h www.thisdaylive.com/articles/only-a-third-of-nigerians-are-poor-says-world-bank/184323/ see why I don't bother with you south african fools here. bunch of ignorant bastarrrds 3 Likes |

The World Bank also predicted a 7.4 per cent growth rate in the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP)..... ....The World Bank said, in its second edition of the Nigeria Economic Report (NER) which was launched in Abuja that going by the recent rebasing of the economy as well as analysis from the new General Household Surveys (GHS) conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) with the support of the Bank, new poverty estimates in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 should be within the range of 35.2 per cent and 33.1 per cent respectively... .......Although the previous NBS Harmonised Nigeria Living Standards Survey (HNLSS) 2009/2010, which took a larger study sample into account had estimated poverty rate at 62.6 percent, the Breton woods institution said it had strong reasons to believe that "consumption was seriously underestimated in the large HNLSS household survey in 2009/2010."... ....It stated that an analysis of a panel survey data (GHS) of 5000 households for 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 provided "evidence that consumption is likely higher than previously estimated from the HNLSS survey."..... ...The NBS had since placed a temporary suspension on publishing unemployment statistics pending the adoption of a new methodology, it was gathered... ..The Bank also said an unofficial assessments using accepted International Labour Organisation (ILO) methodologies would suggest that the unemployment rate in Nigeria is less than 10 per cent compared to the 25 percent figure by the NBS... I remembered when we argued about this, we repeatedly said the poverty figures by the NBS was erroneous. drag_on 2 Likes |

Thiza: Truly small things amuses small minds....how can you shout about a General appointed to the AU. South African military is force to be recon with and cannot be compared with Internationally assisted and trained Nigeria. Do you remember this? http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Exam-cheat-is-training-army-20130407 Adriaan Basson, City Press Johannesburg - The officer in charge of training soldiers for deployment to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is an exam cheat. And in another embarrassment for the SA National Defence Force (SANDF), a top UN official sharply criticised the discipline and combat readiness of South African soldiers in Sudan in a recent letter. Brigadier General Sithabiso Mahlobo, who was found guilty in 2002 of cheating in exams, is in charge of the training of soldiers who are in the process of being deployed to the war-torn North Kivu province of the DRC. He is the commander of 46 SA Brigade in Kengray, Johannesburg. In a classified letter, Lieutenant Colonel T Mashalaba, the commander of an infantry battalion of the SANDF, which was until recently deployed in the troubled Darfur region in Sudan, flatly refused to allow his soldiers to receive training from the UN and the African Union (AU) after one of his soldiers died in an ambush last year. Mashalaba was in command of the 10 SA Infantry Battalion when Rifleman Vincent van der Walt, 23, died in the ambush in October. Soldiers' lack of discipline A letter from a senior Unamid official, in which the quality of South African soldiers’ training was sharply criticised, had been distributed among senior South African army officers just more than a month ago. The letter, which was apparently also sent to top officials at the UN headquarters in New York, mentions the soldiers’ lack of discipline and their arrogance. According to Mabanga, all South African soldiers are properly trained when they arrive at a mission and it is not acceptable practice to receive training from another country. He said: “If any defects in our training are detected, they must be reported to us. We have not received any such communication from Unamid.” He said the army has no knowledge of the accusations against Mashalaba. We know all your training pictures is just hot-air. 4 Likes

SA-LOA-N-DF “I’m just a citizen now, a pensioner,” said former finance minister Trevor Manuel when he testified this week at the Seriti arms procurement commission, which is probing allegations of graft in South Africa’s arms deal. To his left sat the man he reportedly dubbed “the gorilla on my back”, anti-apartheid activist and retired banker Terry Crawford-Browne, who spent his life savings fighting the deal now estimated to have cost R70-billion. “I believe that the selected package was affordable and within government’s fiscal envelope,” said Manuel. He signed loan agreements with four international banks in 1999 to buy frigates, submarines, fighter aircraft and helicopters to replenish South Africa’s ageing defence force equipment stores. Critics, including Crawford-Browne, have long held that the deal was riddled with corruption and amounted to an elaborate confidence trick in which arms companies promised offsets or countertrade worth R100-billion and the creation of 65 000 jobs. They did not materialise. http://www.armsdeal-vpo.co.za/articles17/grumpy.html Pretoria - Cancelling loans secured for financing the 1999 arms deal would hurt the South African economy, former finance minister Trevor Manuel said on Wednesday. http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/cancelling-arms-deal-detrimental-1.1702025#.U898cThQF_A South Africa purchased four frigates, three submarines, helicopters, jet training aircraft and Gripen fighter jets in a Strategic Defence Procurement Process that, in 1999, came with an estimated price tag of R30-billion. That figure has since ballooned to an estimated R70-billion, taking financing costs into account. http://www.algarvedailynews.com/news/2353-south-africa-in-the-same-mess-as-portugal-over-german-submarine-deal Loan defence force that can't maintain its capital assets,cant deploy in any sizeable number nor spread its shiny assets(e.g roovalk) across the broad spectrum of its Armed forces. now you are strugling to pay back.

chris365: Yes, because we are so heavily involved in AU deployments. Also, those positions are political not operational Your man will be flying a desk The men on the ground will be commanded by their own SANDF commanders the ones with the combat experience are rolling on wheelchairs. No, pic related. On the other hand, Nigerian soldiers with CONVENTIONAL combat experience do not exist... while your "COIN experience" is limited to being unable to defeat RUF for a decaded (and having to be bailed out by the British and the USMC) and fighting BH WHO HAVE BEEN GETTING STRONGER SINCE YOU LAUNCHED YOUR OFFENCIVE. Plus, the AU as an organization is lead by a South African... so your General will be saluting a South AFrican in anycase. Boom, two different arguments used to wreck your one myopic argument

Your last refuge as you know our men are better armed, trained, equipped and led. 2. Actually an insult to Nigeria as you were unable to defeat RUF or Charles Taylor in a DECADE of combat, and unable to do anything at all about BH You are a joke, and your General salutes a South African. |

Naijas cannot forward any meaningful debates only rhetoric, insults and misplaced narrow nationalistic arguments which have been time and time again smashed by SHEKUR and his boys. No conventional warfare was ever fought by Nigeria accept an internal civil war of Biafra. Nigerian airforce has never fired a missile in anger against another plane. Nigeria only establish a special forces capability about two years ago and still lacks a lot. Nigeria only fought in Liberia and Sierra Leone against a rag tag bandit armies.
