In addition to Lagos and Abuja, nigeria has Calabar ( this our holiday city), Port-Harcourt, Uyo, Enugu etc, with amazing infrastructure.

Why should I read about what a couple ignorant nigerians have to say?

I. Know Nigeria from point A to B and is nothing compared to mzansi. By the time you visit SA you will be ashamed to even want to talk about Nigeria again and start to realise that you are ages behind South Africa with respect to infrastructure and developments.

Cities of Nigeria are generally unhygienic and they are not being looked after very well, the same way cities of Mzansi are treated. Cities of Nigeria are congested and the air does not smell fresh at all because of a strong stench of fish from the ugly and horrible markets. My sister tried many times to visit Nigeria for long enough but she couldnt because of the unhygienic conditions of its cities. Nothing is impressive in Nigeria.

don't mind the fool. he goes through the web searching for Nigeria with an eye patch so he only sees what he wants to see. that's why I don't bother with him anymore.
boko haram can never make such mistake of holding territory. the army is only delaying going back there because the village is boko haram infested so going back will only expose those men to more deadlier ambushes.

Boko Haram insurgents flee Damboa

Members of the civilian JTF in Maiduguri, the Borno
state capital have arrested 5 members of the Boko
Haram insurgents who came into Damboa to board
vehicle at the Kano motor park (Tashan Kano).
DailyPost gathered that the suspects were fleeing to
Lagos, following stories that the military was ready
to reclaim Damboa town.
A member of the JTF, Ahamadu Mamman told
DailyPost that, some of the members of the Boko
Haram sect who were fleeing Damboa town were
being arrested by their members at motor parks
within Maiduguri.
“We arrested 5 yesterday at Tashan Kano. I think 4
were killed and one of them who is alive is giving
the soldiers information. We have stationed our boys
at Tashan Journey and all the local spots where
vehicles pick passengers, even along the roads and
we have been succeeding,” Mamman said.
According to him, since the Boko Haram attacked
Damboa and displace the people, it is obvious that
war is imminent and some of them who don’t want
to be caught up are seriously leaving the area.

How heartless are you? Do you indirectly want to tell us about more than 650000 residents who fled their homes in fear of Boko Haram after they overtook Damboa and wanted to take more. Shame!! You are so heartless.

Who are you trying to fool when the whole world know about it. Don't try to play dumb and pretend to be naive about something that actually happened. It is there on you tube and media at large.

Johannesburg can never have a building so backward like that in the city centre. The whole area around that building look so rural. If you want any place to compare with in terms of infrastructure rather go for Egypt. SA has a huge infrastructure which compares to that of Europe. In fact, the is no difference between SA and Europe if we were to single out our townships. Even many of our townships are far developed than many cities in Nigeria. This is even known by your president who happens to know SA.

South Africa is still a third world country stuck and glued forever with Africa...deep poverty, massive slums, high crime, overflowing HIV.....Nothing has changed this FACT !!!

SA is not like the rest of Africa. Together with BRICS countries, Turkey and others have been promoted to newly industrialised countries which are between first and third world countries. They are neither first nor third, they have all what first countries have ( world class hospitals, industries, social services, etc)and tbird world challenges such as poverty and others. Generally, SA is beautiful and more developed than Nigeria.

SAPS-STF are regular police

Hence the prefix "SAPS" which means South African Police Force

Yeah I recall but how many did we get?

If you have a hornet with a 3 man crew as a dedicated fire support vehical you could pull it off

"The South African Police Service Special Task Force (SAPS STF) unlike most civilian/police counter-terrorist units around the world, is trained to conduct military special operations and has done so on many occasions, operating with their military counterparts, especially during the long 30-year border war."

The source says they are....

(1) Unlike civilian police
(2) Trained to conduct military operations
(3) Deployed to war along with the army against Cuba.

SAP-STF is a group of 90 soldiers (LOL....they are only 90 men total) assigned to help the police in difficult situations.

I know poor conditions in which Nigerian police find themselves under, some do not even have shoes. Nigerian police is nothing compared to SAPS which is fully equipped.
