Fact-based dirt and slime nonetheless. Nothing that can be successfully challenged. Not a single lie have I uttered.

Just painful facts about your hapless military.

Nigerian Army Shoot Own Refugees At Border, Cameroon Blamed


Maroua — Cameroonian gendarme Gaitan Atouba was stunned when the Nigerian military opened fire on more than 100 Nigerian refugees under his protection, killing 15 and seriously wounding seven in the northeast Nigerian border town of Banki earlier this month.

Atouba and his fellow officers had been ordered to round up refugees in the town of Amchide in Cameroon's Far North region and hand them over to the Nigerian border authorities in Banki for questioning about their possible involvement with the rebel Islamist sect Boko Haram.

Around 8,300 Nigerians, fleeing both attacks by Boko Haram and the heavy-handed response of the security forces in northern Nigeria, have crossed into Cameroon's Far North since Nigerian President Jonathan Goodluck declared a state of emergency in June.

The Cameroon government believes Boko Haram members have infiltrated Cameroon posing as refugees, and are using it as a safe haven to launch attacks into Nigeria as part of their drive to establish an independent state based on sharia (Islamic law) in largely Muslim northeast Nigeria. Hundreds have been killed in Boko Haram attacks and fighting between the group and Nigerian security forces in recent months.

If you are going to hold up to your claims that your airforce is operational for much longer than ours(the claim you make) show proof, not budget numbers cause there is clear documented evidence of the operational activities of ours in the last few years.Evidence also exist that suggests that your air bosses cannot keep your jets, helios and pilots flying to be battle ready,or should we start digging out the links again. undecided undecided

Amid rising violence, UN agency advises against forced returns to north-east Nigeria


29 October 2013 – The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is calling on States to keep their borders open for Nigerians fleeing the escalating violence in their country and who may be in need of international protection.

The Geneva-based agency is also advising States against forced returns of people to the region, spokesperson Dan McNorton told reporters.

“Our recommendations are contained in a newly issued Return Advisory, which seeks to ensure that humanitarian and asylum principles are upheld in light of the worsening security situation in north-eastern Nigeria,” he stated.

Conflict between the Nigerian army and insurgents in the north-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe has led to deteriorating security and humanitarian conditions in the region, which has been under a state of emergency since May.

According to UNHCR, violence is estimated to have displaced an estimated 5,000 people within the region, but as humanitarian access has been hampered by the attacks, the agency believes the actual number of people affected could be significantly higher.

Some 10,000 Nigerians have also crossed into neighbouring Cameroon, Chad and Niger in recent months. Most – around 8,100 – have sought refuge in Cameroon, according to local authorities who say that Nigerians are continuing to arrive. The number of Nigerian refugees in Niger is 2,700, and in Chad 150.

Mr. McNorton said UNHCR has been “alarmed” by reports of the attempted forced return of 111 people from Cameroon to Nigeria on 5 October, during which 15 people were killed and another seven wounded. The remaining 89 individuals immediately fled back to Cameroon and were detained.

“UNHCR is working with the Government of Cameroon to assess whether there are people in the group in need of international protection,” said Mr. McNorton.

He noted that in light of the security situation in north-eastern Nigeria, people fleeing are likely to meet the criteria for refugee status as outlined in international treaties.

UNHCR said its Return Advisory will remain in effect until the security and human rights situation in north-eastern Nigeria has improved sufficiently to permit a safe and dignified return.

Africa: Worsening Violence in Northern Nigeria Reveals Echoes of Algeria and AQIM

Boko Haram's recent, deadly attack on the agricultural college in Gujba, Yobe State has raised some difficult and urgent questions for the Nigerian federal authorities and international community. The most pressing - how and why did this happen - quickly give way to more substantive concerns about the efficacy of the security forces and their counter-terrorism campaign.

_____


[b]"Indeed, it must be remembered that these assaults were launched in a period of unprecedented security effort. President Jonathan's declaration of a state of emergency in the three northern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe in June this year signalled both the Federal Government's determination and desperation. In making it, Jonathan not only admitted that Boko Haram was a much more serious problem than Abuja had previously owned up to, but that Nigeria was now a failed state since there were parts of the north that lay beyond the Federal Government's direct control".lipsrsealed


This declaration also carried significant political risks for President Jonathan personally. For in addition to conceding that Nigeria had failed on his watch, he granted extraordinary powers to a military with a long history of overthrowing civilian governments and added further fuel to the already incendiary debate about his ability as a southerner to adequately deal with this very northern problem. cry


Despite the extraordinary efforts of the security forces, Boko Haram appears unbowed and its campaign undimmed. Since its renaissance following the near terminal battle of Maiduguri in the summer of 2009, the group has been on an upward trajectory. Over the past three years it has embraced ever more ambitious goals (from encouraging northern Muslims to live more piously to turning Nigeria into an Islamic state), extended its area of operations (attacking targets as far south as Abuja), lengthened its list of targets (there is now no-one it is not prepared to kill), and developed its operational capabilities (its 2011 assault on the UN was the first suicide bombing ever carried out in the country). undecided cry cry[/b]

You don't know what my education level is. That argument alone exposes your delusions.

But seeing as you asked, I'm a qualified attorney with an LLM and an MBA. I work and live in the US where I'm on temporary assignment.

All your rubbish is immediately apparent to me. You've been in Austin to see the military headquarters but that's about it. You don't live here and your arguments prove it. I live in Texas and you can't tell me anything and you can't lie it me about "working for a military research company" here. That's rubbish.

You wish you were educated but unfortunately, you aren't.

Accounting is not finance. You made a finance argument and called it accounting. You claim to have an MBA, yet you don't know the difference between finance and accounting.

As for your claims to American citizenship - argument for another day.

wow ! you are the dumbest 'lawyer' i have ever come across.

Now, if I didn't know any better, I'd think your post cute. grin But I do know better; and cute it's not. You DARE me to answer! Hahaha grin Ok, Mr Fakeman. You do realise being a dumb real lawyer is better than being a fake and dumb MBA/Accountant/Researcher/God-knows-what-else.

And you don't get to practise law and get admitted as an attorney in two countries by being one with dumbness. Well, one country and two states in the US - so, three jurisdictions smiley. Many a case I have won and many a case I have lost too. But debate is always according to set rules and you take it like you give it. Not that you'd know anything about the rules of evidence and enquiry. It's like pitting a street brawler against a boxer (assuming you have some understanding in you, you will find profoundness in this and humble yourself grin).

Now, let me give you some trivia, Fakeman. The MBA was crafted around the law school concept. While law students study precedent setting cases, business students study business cases. It's aways been meant to be a generalists's degree - not a specialist's. Variations of the degree by industry are still close to the original concept, but variation by discipline (e.g. accounting are not what was intended).

Anyway, my MBA is the true MBA. The managers and the generalist's degree. I did everything a manager should have an idea about. Examples: Managerial Finance, Operational Finance, Managerial Accounting, Strategy, Operational Management, Organisational design, Information Management and so on. (An MBA who says he's studied bean counting as part of the programme is talking rubbish - that's you lipsrsealed). A manager needn't know how to be a bean counter - only the ability to ask the right questions is required). Just a few credits to help you understand what I'm talking about. I did 42 credits altogether - and topped that up with a thorough research report.

We will leave you US claims for another day.

Now I won't play this rubbish game. We both know you don't live in the US, so spare me. You do know that "non-native white man" encompasses the English, Russians, Italians, South Africans, the French, the Germans, the Swedes - divergent groups. From that perspective, your question is stupid. And just because you aspire to be American while you sit in Abuja doesn't mean everyone wants or cares to pass off as an American.
