On what grounds cay you say "no one has seen them?". How do you know that?
Simple question.
You have no knowledge of anything.
So you can't advance any categorical denials.
The farthest you can go on your argument is to say that you simply don't know.
no one have seen them,we have watched videos of the NA training exercises and deployment to battle,yet we didnt see any mercenary either training our troops or leading them into battle.we have seen pictures too,but even then,no mercenary popped up in any picture.
so where are the mercenaries?

It's a simple question.

How do you know that no one has seen them? How do you know that not a single Nigerian has seen them?

Please answer the question.


You know because they did not pop up in the pictures that you have seen? Is that your answer? Really?

Because Bernie Murdock has not popped up in the pictures that I have seen, then no one has seen Murdock?

That's it?

The Outcome Executive owned Hind gunships, they effectively used them in Sierra Leone as could also be witnessed in BLOOD DIAMOND movie. Those pilots can fly Pumas, MIGs which are the original version of F7s jets and obviously, they will fly Gazelle. Alpha jets are just nothing to those guys. The specialised trained pilots and special forces of former SA government and the current SANDF are trained to use different platforms and even foreign weapons.

if there are indeed mercenaries in the north east,where are they then?,surely we didnt pay them to bury themselves underground.

Obviously, the rules of mercenaries is not to operate in the open unless terror has escalated to the situation which will make them to resort to operating publicly. 100 is such a small number and obviously you can never expect the whole country infested with them. They will only cover small area at a time.

Those mercenaries are merely there to sharpen the skill of your pilots and bring back the moral inside the camp of Nigerian army. Some, are doing strategies and plans of the battle while some are leading your troops into the battle field to make sure that the objectives of the military is realised.

It's not fake. If I am in the mercenary business, I will make sure that I have what it takes to offer a service.

Inside Africa's private armies
Private military and security companies: Who controls the guns-for-hire?

"For example, former South African air force pilots, technicians and trainers form almost all of Rwanda’s air capability, according to Andre Roux, a senior ISS researcher. Angola today uses private military personnel extensively to develop its command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities, Roux said"

You have not answered the question.

How do you know who has not seen what?

When was your survey where you asked Nigerians to tell you what they have or have not seen?

You don't know that he was a white Nigerian. What proof do you have for that?

What proof do you have that he was a Chadian?

If you have no proof, then you have not disproved that he was a mercenary.

Because you don't know anything, you can't deny anything.

The ministry of defence does not account to mercenaries. They are just only seen as private citizens.

in a scenario where the nigerian DHQ sent in secret envoys to SA to help negotiate a contract with mercenaries under the nose of your intelligent services,after the deal,the DHQ again sent in a transport aircraft into you airspace to convey your mercenaries to abuja where screening was conducted and directives were given.
all these took place,while your defence ministry remained oblivious.
it wasnt until a media organisation named 'beeld' decided to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a sizeable chunk of your former military men,that your defence ministry became 'aware' of the purported nigerian 'conspiracy'.
is this the scenario as it happened?,hmm?

Mercenaries are contracted secretly by secret services in a way which is clandestine in nature. Intelligence can never know everything every time unless it is a matter of concern. The intelligence after all is not prophetic in nature. They may also have been invited by phone call and meet in another country.

How do you know the Nigerian government sent an envoy to South Africa?

You don't. You just created that story and sucked it out of your thumb.

Mercenaries are private operators. It's as simple as that.

Now the government knows that they are in Nigeria and will have them arrested on their return, it says.

Besides, this is what happened the last time:

"There are strong suspicions that the South African government got wind of Mann and Du Toit’s plans – and even that the coup plotters naively thought Pretoria was turning a blind eye, preferring a white-mercenary-inspired coup to a nasty dictator.

Instead, the South African government didn’t just stop them, according to this account; it allowed them to get caught to send a strong message to future would-be mercenaries."


Fact is you simply have no knowledge of anything. You don't know what transpired. You cannot confirm anything. You cannot deny anything.
