@sagamite
I cant understand your point?? where u r coming from or going
It is open that Ghadafi is a white elephant, all his boasting and has been exposed, he cant deal with ppl using sticks n stones to fight him. Going to Libya to evacuate nigerians is no big deal, and special forces r not required!, mumu man!, u r talking about a leader without d loyalty of his police and military force. You r talking about a leader dependant on kangaroo militiamen from chad, sudan, Niger and illigal migrant, even Nigerian Mopol can deal with the situation. When Libya was a country with security Africans went in without visa or passport so what r u saying?? that Libyan forces r too  sophisticated for to be invaded?, Libyan military r unclothed, many of dem dont know how to shoot today's weapons because Ghadafi made it so. If d military was as solid as your fake backside is thinking minus airpower, they shud have apprehended or killed Ghadafi and his sons by now!, but Ghadafi made dem to be cowards. he understood d dangers of keeping dem updated in the use of today's weapon. It is the ordinary ppl who spent their time watching James-bond movies that r taking the fight to him.

GEJ and his kangaroo team r chickens. why did it take them dis long to knw Nigerians should be evacuated?? where are the intelligence agencies that are suppose to follow events and make forecast?. GEJ thinks being a president is just a figure head issue and the country will run itself. He couldnt protect or evacuate christians from Jos & Maiduguri during recent killings. And he is spilling BS talking about eradicating tribalism.

There is no reason why an order should not be given to all Nigerian embassy in the middleast to be on high alert!
And why Nigerians in Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, morocco, Algeria and Tunisia should not be brought back home immediately!!!

Nigerian soldiers struggle with kid soldiers and you think they will just go and trounce militia men or an army in its own country and terrain?

Only 600 UK soldiers soughted it out in Sierra Leone in less than 2 months.

Stop typing through your asss. You know nothing about military tactics to make crass, infantile judgements on the Nigerian military and how they operate in combat. An army fighting ''kid soldiers'' does not imply an instant annihilation of the latter, not least for the purpose of averting mass civilian casualties. This is why a 'rag tag army' in Afghanistan can hold the US/UK/Germany etc combined to a stalemate for several years, not because they cannot be wiped out in a day, but because they are largely embedded in civilian populations, hence requiring constant restraint by superior forces.

Sorted what out? Which UK soldiers? Look at this MUMU that has fallen for BBC propaganda.

British soldiers did not lift a finger when they got to Sierra Leone AFTER the war. It was Nigeria that flushed out the rebels DURING the war, and ENDED the war. The British then sent in one ship with soldiers who, some say, did not even disembark from their ship. Or of they did, just a few of them patrolling some area near the airport, all this AFTER the rebels had been decimated by Nigeria. Meanwhile, the British media, who had consistently underplayed the pivotal, decisive role played by the Nigerian-led ECOMOG forces, hoodwinked its people into thinking that it was that shipload of English boys they sent at the end of hostilities, that defeated the rebels and ended the conflict!

And you, Sagamite, ultimate MUGU based in London, bought the scandalous falsehood.

DUMMY.

You are reetarded!

What decimation did Nigerian soldiers do? Fooooool.

Nigerian soldiers could barely hold on to Freetown and had to consistently fight for 3 years or so with the rebels repeatedly and consistently invading Freetown.

UK sent a handful of soldiers to rescue UK citizens that had been kidnapped by the rebels, they decided to go beyond their remit, took over Freetown for the first and last time (never lost it like Nigeria or have the rebels come back) and helped the government forces beat the rebels in other places.

Reeetard!

Olodo rabata. Have the UK or USA  ''held on to'' Afghanistan despite fighting there for nearly ten years now?

So, the day they finally send the rebels there packing, and then station some Pakistani troops to patrol key areas, you would credit the Pakistanis for ''sorting Afghanistan out'' and ''defeating the Taliban'' would you?

BRAINLESS DUMMY.

ROSSIKE:

Ignorant Uncle Tom making up news to fill his large inferiority complex. The British PATROLLED the airport and a few spots AFTER the RUF rebels had been chased out of Freetown following huge battles against Nigerian forces.

That the RUF never returned is neither here nor there. The fact is the British did NOT fire a single shot in anger. Their primary mission was to evacuate their citizens, NOT to fight the rebels. Their mission was called Operation Palliser:

''On May 7, 2000, the Permanent Joint Headquarters directed the deployment of a Joint Task Force Headquarters. The JTF comprised the UK Spearhead Battalion: elements 20 Fd Sqn Royal Engineers, 1st Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, the Pathfinder Platoon, the Special Air Service, elements of the Special Boat Service and Royal Air Force Hercules were deployed to conduct a Non-combatant evacuation of UK, EU, and Commonwealth citizens. Following the evacuation the main aims were to keep control of the airport, patrol Freetown and allow UN supplies to be flown in to the country safely.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Palliser

ROSSIKE:

Regarding Britain's use of her media to falsely claim she ''defeated the Sierra Leonian rebels and ended the conflict'' here's what a correspondent for the Pan African News Agency, wrote at the time:

"After a seven-month break caused by rebel recalcitrance, Sierra Leone's peace process is set to resume following a renewed cease-fire agreement last week between the parties to the nine-year civil war.

"But a crisis of confidence between Nigeria, a major power in the West African sub-region, and Britain, Sierra Leone's former colonial master, poses a threat to the peace process, just as the resistance of the rebel Revolutionary United Front or RUF to the reinforced presence of British troops in Freetown".

To quote a Nigerian officer, Lt. Col. Chris Olukolade, who served with the sub-regional intervention force ECOMOG in Sierra Leone:

"Humiliated in its treacherous desertion when the going was rough and Sierra Leone needed assistance of true friends, the British have since their shameless return embarked on all sorts of diplomatic gimmicks, palliative assistance and recently a deceptive but much-publicised military intervention.

"These steps were all aimed at saving the face of the United Kingdom to facilitate the continuation of its mischievous neo- colonial agenda in that West Africa country."

To which I might add it's easy to see how Britain can easily pull off this trick of disinformation, what with willing, gullible, colonized  dunces like sagamite parrotting their falsehoods with glee, even louder than the liars.

[size=18pt]499 Nigerians return safely from Libya[/size]

The first batch of 499 Nigerians stranded in Tripoli, Libya on Sunday morning arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja in a jumbo jet chartered by the Federal Government.

The evacuees, who were rescued from the troubled North African country, arrived Abuja at 1.30am, according to a statement by the National Emergency Management Agency.

The statement, which was signed by NEMA’s spokesman, Yushau Shuaibu, said the agency’s Director-General, Muhammad Sani-Sidi, led the rescue team comprising some agencies of the Federal Government. The DG said the exercise would continue till all the approximately 2000 stranded Nigerians in Libya are brought back home.

He said the Federal Government had established a special camp to accommodate the returnees, who would be discharged after necessary documentation and screening exercise. Sani-Sidi said a vigorous screening of the passengers was made to identify those without valid traveling documents as well as those with bad records for safety and security on board and after arrival in Nigeria.

He stated that the second flight flew to Libya at 11am on Sunday to bring the remaining Nigerians.

499 Nigerians return safely from Libya

@ RSA

No,it's 46664(Mandela's apartheid prison number)

RSA:

Do you mean fourty six thousand six hundred and sixty four Nigerians where evacuated in Libya? Sound like a scam to me

rasputinn:

LOL

RSA you no well @ all,of course you know what I mean

How's your area? I find Randburg interesting,you live in/around Jossy??

The landing of the UK army was the pill that ended it. Their army struck fear straight away in the hearts of the rebels.

koastar:

@Rossike,
Well done for educating sagamite. Some people just stay abroad and allowed themselves to be fed with propaganda and falsehood. Where was Britain when Nigerian soldiers are sacrificing their lives for the peace being enjoyed now in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Sudan? British troops only went to Sierra Leone to evacuate their citizens, that we all know.
We should always try to follow a day-to-day events of issues especially as it concerns Africa and not be deceived by these foriegn media

Arosa:

Just like the landing of the US army struck fear in the hearths of the Somalian rebels, abi?  
(The British army did not have to engage the sierra Leone rebel, their presence alone ended the war) wise man?

And this is your argument to disprove a point?

Did you go to the same school as koastar?

Arosa:

where you proving a point? Even a goat knows that Naija army liberated the Sierra Leone pips.

Sagamite:

No one is doubting Nigeria gave lives and sacrificed in SL, but answer this question as if you were a goat:

If one Group A enters and is constantly fighting for 3 whole years for control of ONLY capital. Another Group B comes and within a matter of weeks the fighting, all of a sudden, stops in the capital, and then they organised and end the fighting in other parts of the country and THE WAR STOPS, which would you say was the primary actor for ending the war PERMANENTLY?

Group A or B?

Arosa:

Now I know what you are, a silly goat.
What was the mandate of the Nigerian army in Freetown? And would the British army have been able to come into a war-torn Sierra Leone without the presence of the Nigerian force on ground? Did the British army really engage the Sierra Leone rebels, or were the rebels  given amnesty to put down their arms?

Sagamite:

You are a moooron!

It told you to answer like a goat and you literarily did.

First of all, what has the fact Nigerian presence got to do with who was effective in ending the war after Nigeria struggled to hold the capital for 3 years?

No two, are you really daft to conclude that the UK army cannot enter war torn 3rd world country without Nigeria? Are you reetarded? They needed Nigeria to enter Iraq, Kosovo and Afghanistan?

Moooron, they gave the rebels 2 options:

a) Sign a deal

b) Engage the British soldiers

"We are happy with whichever you choose"

The rebels were obviously smarter than you when they quickly chose (a).

There was even a time a Nigerian Captain or so was bragging, out of hurt pride, that the British should not do something (I can not remember what it was) otherwise they will shoot at them, and the senior British soldier just gently told the reporter telling him that that will be "foolhardy" because the response will be "robust".

Arosa:

you really are a piece of work.

koastar:

@Sagamite,
I think you are really sick, uneducated and gullible. I wonder where you are getting the stories you are posting? Your claims have no basis, no evidence or links. I think you should better come back home and be schooled on the what transpired in Africa in relations to its civil wars that rocked the continent at different times and in different countries. These informations can be gotten from the archives even that of the Sierra Leones'. Rossike has done a good job in given you enough infomation and links yet, you are still daft to understand. I wonder how you managed to pass thruogh school if you ever went

[size=18pt]Bash Ali, 535 more Nigerians evacuated from Libya[/size]

Boxer Bash Ali and 535 Nigerians on Monday arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Monday in the second batch of evacuees from Libya.

A statement by the Head, Press and Public Relations, National Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Yushau Shuaib, said the agency’s Director-General, Muhammad Sani-Sidi, stated this in Abuja while receiving the evacuees. The NEMA DG was quoted as saying that a total of 2000 Nigerians were expected to be evacuated from the troubled North African country.

The first batch, comprising women and children, arrived in Abuja on Sunday morning.

He said, “The evacuation exercise being coordinated by NEMA is targeted at evacuating over 2000 stranded Nigerians who are willing to return to Nigeria from the crisis in Libya.

“The exercise embarked upon by the Federal Government to bring back stranded Nigerians in Libya has recorded additional 536 evacuees who were successfully flown to Abuja International Airport on Sunday night from Tripoli International Airport.”

He stressed that NEMA would continue to provide food and medication for the evacuees at the designated special camps along Abuja International Airport Road, adding that transportation arrangements had been provided to take the evacuees to their respective states of origin.
