Beautymc: So funny. There's no peace in Nigeria and some nigerians are outside the country to keep peace. Charity they said begins at home.

they are soldiers of Niger, Ouattara had intended that the country is ungovernable when he was in opposition now taking office his wish is about to be realized , when UN killed people in Ivory Coast with the pro-ouattara soldiers was lying all these media to be moved

@All pls dont blame the moderator, he is only doing what he knows best (creating mischief). What will it take to verify his information b4 posting? Once it is bad news about Nigeria it must make the frontpage immediately so that gullible Nigerians can start ranting. Shameful.

racist news channel

mr man wetin nah?. Others are been corrected and u are still posting what i don't know.

Maybe its high time Goodluck changed the name of the country from Nigeria to something else

Nigeria need peacekeepers too.. There are more violent in nigeria.

Based on the BBC reports, they're from Niger, meaning they were Nigeriens, NOT Nigerians. Only difference is in the letter e vs a.

However, we mourn them regardless of from where they hailed. They could have as easily been Nigerians, of course. They died in the course of peace, may God comfort and strengthen their families.

justwise: Are they from Nigeria or Niger? .

BBC reported that they are from Niger

This links here reported that they are from Niger as well http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/un-says-7-peacekeepers-were-killed-in-an-attack-in-ivory-coast-more-than-40-now-in-danger/article4244041/

. When i first read that Nigerian soldiers died i was suprised and couldn't blive, because, Nigerians can't lay their lives 4 Nigeria not 2 talk of others. If it happened, most likely an accident and not display of bravery. Let them look at d looting, bribery and corruption activities of d bluehelment thats where nigerians are. And if there is\was a dispatch of south African soldiers in d area, then, preparations should b made 4 Teenage pregnancy epidemic.

Eternal peace

berem: niger or nigeria whats the difference anyway? both countries were named after the river niger. rest in peace brave soldiers!

Ur brain is water-logged, walai.

No matter where they are from the real question would be what are their real mission there ? The UN keep using african soldiers to intimidate and destabilize any group,country,region that rejects their imperialistic,destructive and anti-peoples policies. All hope atrocities are washed under the umbrella of PEACE KEEPING. Again what have they been doing there ? Who is making trouble there or have they been doing something else ? Does those villages truly want then to protect them from some people of do they want to be protected from the said peace keepers ? People should ask questions and not just swallow any garbage being spewed by the media. In this particular issue if you know the real truth you would not be proud to admit that your countrymen are there and part and parcel of this grave and atrocious injustice to mankind. Shame on any African country that has its soldiers under the UN intimidation and anti-african independence campaign.

Check out Sudan, hundreds of nigerian soldiers loose their life every month fighting for the interest of western oil companies. Killing,torturing and intimidating their sudanese brothers and taking away what belongs to them. While all those media that reports these lies to you keeps silent and you never hear about it.

They died in the midst of their atrocities. They died while preventing the masses,the poor, the intellectuals and the worker from rising against a widely unpopular goverment. They died as a result of intimidating and silencing a village from revolting against french exploits of their lands leaving the locals with no means of sustaining themselves and denying them the means to voice out their misery. They are humans and they are expected to fight back if that is the only way they would be heard. Maybe by next coming weeks they would be called terrorist and fantasmagoria of stories and allegations heaped on them and as usual they would be given a name and who knows an unverifiable link to al-quaida but the truth remains that they are humans who has been denied a voice and has taken so much and has broken.
