Patches689 brought up "white men in a video", to support his argument.

You should tell him to provide proper evidence, same as you, to proof your wild imaginations.

From the video, the Nigerian military has nothing to hide, neither do we. We have said consistently, Israelis provide support to the military. The video is only another validation of this widely know fact.

The story about south-african mercs have been denied by both the Nigerian and South-African governments.


Proper evidence is all over this thread. You only chose to deal with the picture cause it's easy pickings, but it was never the main evidence - not even for Patches.

Yes - the Israelis provide support, but that does not disprove the fact that South African mercenaries are in Nigeria. The story of South African mercenaries in Nigeria has in fact NOT been denied by our minister of defence or our minister of foreign relations. In fact, they have expressed their unhappiness at the mercenary activities, with the minister of defence saying the mercenaries will be arrested upon their return. All this has been posted on this thread already.

I just don't get it, NA has been the one that was being trained by the US until nigeria terminated it citing odd practices. NAF however, has enough pilots and are even training in russia and Pakistan for the new incoming platforms. so, use common sense and stop being ignorant.

Perhaps, news of sadf in nigeria will make your girlfriends cum as you've not being able to get them to. I dont get all the fuss
leave that man. just got angry and decided to post a personal pics of our NAF boys in russia to that effect. although i would have to mes with the face a bit. i mean this south africans are the worst lot to get into an argument with. they all spring from the family of blind Batimus.

The pictures and videos are not the primary evidence of the presence of South African mercenaries in Nigeria.

The story was there long before the emergence of the pictures or videos. So, dismissing the pictures and videos does not dismiss the story.

In fact, the whole picture and video thing is a strawman.

No thinking is required to shout "defeated fo0l".

But putting together a coherent argument is something different entirely.

Even a parrot can be taught to shout "defeated f00l". But it can't be taught to think intelligently.

Thank you for bringing this up. The video shows white men providing technical support. The video also shows the same white men carrying Tavor-21 carbines.

South-Africans do not use the Tavor-21.

The Nigerian Army been supported do not also use the Tavor-21.

So, provide a guess which country the white guys come from?

South Africans will use whatever gun is readily available

Nope, you weren't making any example. Israeli, pakistani and American contractors/military personnel have always been part of the Nigerian military.

Thing is, the Nigerian Army refutes those stories.

South-Africans do not use Tavor-21's, neither do the Nigerian army.

Only the Navy, Airforce and DSS use the Tavor in Nigeria.

Like i've stated previously, the only Afrikanners who are in Nigeria, are basically on pilgrimage to christ embassy and the synagogue church.

The SANDF is in a dire state, truly your phantom mercs are needed in South-Africa, instead of their current homestead of Australia.

The Nigerian military refutes any of such claim.

Second, multiple sources have confirmed South Africans are training Nigerians. You yourself say that mercenaries have been training your military for years - so why is it a shock that we are training you as well? Afterall, South Africans are the best mercenaries in the world.

This is why the Nigerian Air Force needs training.


Nigeria blamed as civilians killed.

Niamey - At least 36 civilians were killed when a military plane bombed a funeral party in a Niger border village, the government said, in an incident its deputy mayor blamed on the Nigerian air force.

The air crew was likely to have mistaken the villagers, who had gathered near a mosque, for Boko Haram militants, Niger military sources in the nearby town of Bosso said.

The Nigerian military did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment about Tuesday's incident, into which the Niger government said it had launched an inquiry.

"Yesterday... an unidentified plane dropped a bomb on the village of Abadam-Niger... while the population was assembled near a mosque," the government said in statement read on state-owned television. "The provisional toll is 36 dead and 24 wounded."

The government decreed three days of national mourning.

"Two planes flew over Abadam on Tuesday afternoon. For me, with that very visible green colour, they were from Nigeria," Abadam's deputy mayor Youram Ari told Niger television station Labari late on Wednesday.

Abadam lies on the border with Nigeria around 13km southwest of Bosso, where thousands of soldiers from Chad and Niger are massed in preparation for operations against Boko Haram.

Abadam in next to a Nigerian village of the same name and military sources in Bosso earlier said the bomb had fallen in Nigeria.

Boko Haram, which is seeking to carve an Islamic emirate out of north-eastern Nigeria, killed an estimated 10 000 people there last year, and it is now expanding its zone of operations across the region's borders.

Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin are preparing a 8 700-strong force to combat the militants.

most of your claims by literary efforts have successfully built a solid imagery of stupidity of your real person.

Even if it were to be established that southafrican mercenaries are in Nigeria, they are not the sandf, they are probably former Anglo-dutch apartheid mass, cold blooded slaughterers of your kind.

The purported "sophistication" of the mythical and political SA mercenary do not morph into the superiority of the sandf which has been decaying since 1994 till this day.

First off, you made the white men in the video as a direct reference to South-African contractors in Nigeria. Your initial thought was to use the "white men" in the video as your yard stick.

Second, multiple sources have made multiple claims about non-existent south-Africans, the one source(Nigerian Armyy that should confirm, has blatantly refuted this claim.

Men from the SANDF become mercenaries all the time, the Iraq war put massive strain on the SANDF and specialist elements of SAPSas skilled members left for better pay in the service of Mercanary comapanies.

Even Gadaffi tried to hire a team of men (who were at that time member of SAPS/SANDF) to act as his personal body-guards during the civil war. Maybe if he had, he would still be alive cheesy

Whilst the latest generation of South Africans are still leaders in the world of guns for hire - just take a look at Saracen International for example

What i said was:

Many men will simply be there as "teachers" - passing on knowledge to infantry about small squad tactics, maneuvers, CQB, bush warfare etc - A video posted on this forum very recently showed "white" men doing just that. And my bet is that the majority who were sent will be either "teaching" at training camps or advising in the field (being embedded with command) with a handfull providing more skilled training to air-crew or command elements.
