https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/in-borno-south-african-mercenaries-are-real-heroes-fighting-boko-haram-report-reveals-id4694821.html

That is an interview with a mercenary.......

Another thing that grabbed attention is that these guys had Mi-24 attack helicopters, which are like flying tanks. With extremely heavy weaponry, they were conducting offensive operations.

What makes this so interesting is that Nigeria hired these guys with their own private armored helicopter, and I’m not talking about a Blackwater-style helicopter with men with machine guns in the exits; these Mi-24s are Russian military standard gear, armed with missiles and so on. It’s a private air force

-U know Helicopters can provide the much needed advantage and yet FG failed to equip soldiers with equipment s to combat terrorism! This is sad !!
- So FG should leave soldiers on the field without air support becos BHaram dont use helicopters to deploy their men.
- Do you know this is a guerrilla warfare, that surprise is an element for this attack to be successful......
- Even US forces always call for air support when they are outnumbered and under heavy fire from Al queda fighters.

If a private Military contractor can buy and operate a helicopter gunship why can't Nigeria?

There lies you answer to all this mess.

The Nigerian army is awash with cash but missing a lot of sense.

eduj:

the m16 has more range and power than the ak47.if your one of those the russies are better,we can as well use the newer ak's .The Ak47 isn't the main infantry weapon of any major army-even russia-today.

It will do because for all its limited short comings the AK is still more highly reliable.

yarimo:
That book clearly shows the dullard of otuoke land, don't even know why he was the president of Nigeria. From page 1 to end is full of lies and provocative story

[/s]

You have been avoiding threads on the latest disgraceful massacre of Nigerian troops under the command of your illiterate khalifar.

Goodluck's book will serve asa much needed distraction for you bokos of BSO

[s]

Xisnin:

As I suspect, you don't know what you are talking about.
That was not a battle.


The bold is usually used when the speaker is clueless and have nothing to say.
You know it is very easy to use the keyboard or play video games, no risk, no enemies. This has made many
people think it is the same thing as a war.

[/s]


You guys are grossly incompetent and a cause of worry and disgrace.

It is high time the Military was restructured from outside since you khaki boys can't be expected to bring the required change.

[s]

yarimo:
Ehh the thunder that will fire anyone that will claim this crowd are rented crowd just left SAMBISA Forest.


BUHARI / OSIBANJO till 2023

[/s]

Has it become so bad at BMC or is it BSO you operate from that you now need to post old pics of Kwankwasi members supporting Buhari before Kwankwaso pulled out of the APC?

yarimo:
Keep on fooling yourself in a public forum. I SMH for your parents

watch out guys, this ab0ki has a very short fuse

Atiku: Cocaine

Buhari: Lizard sh!t

Xisnin:

I hope you are typing this from Sambisa forest.
Coward!

Any modern-day Military will be ashamed of losing over a hundred men in one battle.

This is a disgrace and it is obvious the Nigerian Military's commanders do not know hat they are doing and also do not care as well.

It is high time the Nigerian Army and security architecture and mentality was overhauled.

Drugs

Atiku: Fish scale cocaine

Buhari: Lizard sh!t

Transportation:

Atiku: G-wAGON

Buhari: donkey

BiafransExposed:

He is not defending it he is saying it doesn't matter

He was so desperate for elections and did not care if Boko Haram were killing people at the polls because he had the confidence from Obama that he will be President.

Radio Chanji was up and running from Kaduna beaming hate filled messages across northern Nigeria.

The station was managed by non-other than the crassly illiterate Simon Lalonng.

Funny how Lalong has some how kept mute after Fulanis went on a killing spree in his own state of Plateau under Buhari.

The OP don run

PatrickOkunima:
I won't argue this with you. What you don't know, you don't know.

He is right!

As I said earlier, the Niger Delta insurgency arose due to mainly political considerations that required political solutions.

Yaradua was very intelligent to know that not all problems require military action unlike Obasanjo or Buhari who as military men saw every problem as a nail requiring a hammer.

LordAdam16, has elaborated very well why the Nigerian Army were told to stand down by Yaradua because if he hadn't chances are that Nigeria would have been since partitioned.

LordAdam16:


Stick and carrot approach my foot!

The militants were well-funded thanks to oil bunkering and tacit support by the region's elite. The Nigerian military was NEVER going to win that war. Not in a million years. It was that realization and the global financial crisis of 2007/2008 that led to the Amnesty program.

Before you talk about 2009, you'd recall Odi bombing of 2001 and the repression of thousands of activists/protesters under Abacha. The Nigerian state and the military had been itching for the conflict for years and the entire region was prepared to support it to the end of the earth. Which is why till date there are still camps, and every sitting governor in the SS is a friend of the creeks. 90% of the population in the ND still support that insurgency till date. Everyone knows someone on a first name basis that fought in the war.

The major problem with BH is that there are sympathizers and saboteurs within the military. Some of them are idealists like those in Qatar funding IS from the comfort of their golden palaces. Some do it for politics. Others do it for the steady money burned to prosecute the war. The result is massacres of this magnitude.

METELE wasn't a hurried attack. It was meticulously planned and ISWAP needed and got valuable intel to carry out their attack successfully. It's the same thing in Afghanistan and Pakistan especially. Pakistan is a nuclear power and key figures and cells within the Pakistani Intelligence Community actively prop up the Taliban. It's why the US refused to share intel or seek their permission before sending the SEALs to take out Osama.

Boko Haram/ISWAP will continue to operate until the West gets tired of the nomenclature. Supports an offensive to degrade them. Then a new sect will rise in its place. As for those joining the military to go to the front lines. It's better to be a mercenary if you can't find anything useful to do with your life. Because you are and always will be disposable. Pieces of meat for those in places of authority to use in their games.

-Lord

Your grasp on issues is highly astute.

I will like to one day have a beer with you.

eduj:

exactly, the ak47 shouldn't be the main infantry rifle of a country like ours.our soildiers would have to be in effective range of iswap themselves,before our infantry engages them (since they both use same riffle).If we had say an m16,our men can decimate iswap infantry before they get into effective range of their ak47's.
Neopotism and training is also a problem though.

[/s]

The AK47 is a more reliable and efficient weapon than anything NATO has to offer.

It is easy to maintain and operate.

Hardcoreedoman, let us take this your trash into perspective...

Are you basing your Benin as capital of SS Region on which of the following: Political, Economic, Spiritual/Morality or Education?

Lets start with Political.

Is Benin the Political [/b]capital of the SS region and people? The answer is a resounding NO as can be seen with the mere fact that Edo politics for the last 8years has never been in tandem with that of the rest of the SS region and as things stand it will not change anytime soon.

[b]Economic reasons require solid economic facts and inices so this will not be that difficult. Is Benin city the leading city in terms of economic activities in the entire SS region? The answer again is a resounding NO! Whatever little decaying infrastructure you have in Benin was built during the old days of Bendel where Benin city was the capital with monies from Delta streaming in to develop that city. With PH, Warri, Uyo, Calabar, Yenegoa and even Asaba topping your backward city that relies solely on repatriated funds from illicit sex trade and human trafficking.


Spiritual reasons won't hold either as the Oba of Benin remains the Oba of Benin only. His influence and reach may have extended to Asaba and as far as Onistcha to the east and southwards to Warri in the past, but that is all in the distant past! Or how do you expect an Efik man to worship your god-King in this day and age when he never had any influence on the Efik people?

The morality question is also to be considered and from all look of things you are not in the right position o preach morality and ethics to the rest of the SS when you have no problem benefiting from modern-day sex slavery.

What of Education and enlightenment? The Bini man is no longer interested in the pursuit of education. All they want is to go to abroad to engage in petty crimes. When last did you hear of a Bini man or woman being honored for educational achievements? Your guess is as good as mine.

From all this we can simply state that the Binis are in no where qualified to lead the SS in any capacity but rather we see that you are a disgrace to the region.

Willie2015:


You are wrong. Google is your friend

U dont conduct offensive operation without helicopters...

This is one of the reported mercenaries in Borno with the Mi-24 in the background.

That image is not of SA mercenaries operating in Nigeria but rather Afghanistan. The helicopter in the background is a Chinook which is operated mainly by US Special forces and saw active roles in Afghanistan because of their resilience in landing and operating over high altitude regions.

Helicopters can provide the much needed advantage in inserting and removing troops close to the fight. Does BH rely on helicopters to deploy their troops?

This is no excuse

[s]

HardcoreEdoman:
have you licked kanu ass today?

[/s]

I am speaking to you like a distant cousin, Igbo bashing won't help you neither will it stop you from love-vendor!ng your sisters and daughters to Turkish truck drivers for 5 euros a round.

I understand as a large family there will always be that disgrace to the family and it so happens it falls on you Bini people to assume that role as both the family thief and ashawoe.

Before you bash Igbos, have you considered your battered image?

And before you venture into your deluded supremacist rants on leading the SS from your dilapidated cultural heritage center of a city, have you considered if the rest of us in the Niger Delta don't want anything to do with you?

Park your broom in Kogi!

Willie2015:


- Weapon is a major factor.
- South African mercenaries were largely successful during the Jonathan era becos of their weapons.
- They came with their own heavy weapons and Russia M1-24 helicopters, no Oga at the top politics involved
- Modern counter terrorism requires our force to be on the offensive, hit and run tactics...
- Our forces are always repelling attacks which means they cant go on the offensive cos of their weapons
- There is nothing like Gut Orientation ... Even the Special US teams that fought the battle of Tora Bora had to called in Air Force bombers to take out targets; non-stop heavy air strikes including laser-guided bombs and missiles lasted for 72 hours before al-Qaeda fighters withdrew to higher fortified positions

The South African mercenaries did not come withh any special weapons but rather advanced skill set.

[s]

HardcoreEdoman:
if you like derail this thread all you want.

Your tribe is landlocked

Edo nation is 10 times bigger

And we occupy the 3 richest states.

[/s]

If you like make this into an Igbo bashing affair.

Your stupid paraventures on wanting to assume capital of SS is dead on arrival.

With cities like Uyo, PH and Calabar you still have the audacity to force that your ancient dilapidated witch afflicted Benin as capital of Niger Delta?

Guy park your broom in Kogi state.

[s]

HardcoreEdoman:
mhen I just found out the first guy I quoted was actually an igbo man claiming ijaw, he's using his other moniker to abuse other tribes.

I apologise to the ijaw nation on the comments I made

[/s]

You are getting paranoid.

Igbo bashing will not get you any sympathies as every other person knows that Edo and ashawoe is like 5 and 6 and that your state relies largely on ashawoe earnings to survive,

Now go back to your useless Original post and edit your useless write up and this time around make a suggestion why Edo should be part of Kogi state.

Disgrace!

HardcoreEdoman:
typical igbo man making other tribes hate him.

Like I said earlier, I won't go into gutter with you. bring facts then I'll respond

Which facts do you want? That your people are known for doing petty crimes all over europe?

It has gotten so bad that your Oba had to issue a palace decree complete with a curse to stop you people from engaging your sisters and daughters in forced prostitution.

Everyone knows that Benin city relies heavily on repatriated ashawoe earnings to survive.

I am 100% sure you are also waiting patiently for Adesua to send you 50 Euros from her hard earned money she got from retailing her HIV ass for your christmas shopping.

mercenary:
How is Edo richer than Rivers state?... I cannot allow the south south to be linked with such poverty and hardship and bad roads called "Ancient city"

Who needs roads when you can fly

Edo has more links to Kogi. They will never be missed.

[s]

HardcoreEdoman:
typically Igbo man, speaking nonsense.

I won't go into gutter with you

[/s]

Igbos have suffered in Nigeria all because they lost a war of independence.

Imagine this nonetity of a being deginerating Ibos when his own people are by far the most lazy delinquents south of the Niger.

Never ever in your life think that by degenerating Ibos you will some how find unity among Niger Deltans.

I am a Niger Deltan and I can state categorically that you Binis are a big disgrace to the region.

Hell, even you don't even share same political views with us as can be seen with your prefered broom party.

Edo state is filled with Zombies
Poverty, crime and all vices are your trade marks.

You suffer the ignoble roles as being both the Yorubas (treacherous bastards) and fulani (criminals) of the SS people.

[s]

HardcoreEdoman:
Southwest has Lagos state
South east has Enugu
North has Sokoto.

Likely candidates for capital of south south.

Benin city in Edo state

Port Harcourt in river state

Warri in delta state.

The answer in Benin city, here's why.

Ikwerre(majority in river state is from present Edo)

Urhobo from Edo

Ishekri from Edo

Isoko from Edo, all in delta.

The present day Benin is strategically position in between north,east, south and west as a road to all regions.

Edo nation is currently ruling 3 states in Nigeria.

What do you think?

By the way ilage is part of the Edo nation, obj created us but that will be corrected

[/s]

The capital of Edo State is Italy

HardcoreEdoman:
mtchew you must be an ijaw Man.

Just edo state 2 local government is bigger than the village you called a state.

They created an imaginary ss to make you feel happy and milked your oil dry.

You Bini man still get mouth to talk?

All of your women are doing prostitution in Europe and your man boys are selling weed in Europe while disgracing una self with cult rubbish in far away obode oyibo and you still have the audacity to claim that you should be some how be given the title role of Capital of SS?

You must be a dreamer.

this is the real face of APC. Bunch of rascals and thugs

sarrki:

Details soon





https://punchng.com/nigerians-wont-vote-a-fugitive-apc-tells-atiku/

Sarrki, I didn't see your patriotic ass condemning BH massacre of well over 100 Nigerian soldeirs.

Or is it unpatriotic to speak up against the real enemy of the state which your buhari in his infinite stupidity has decided to free?

Tinubu is a convicted drug felon. If the ever smart, wise and sophisticated Yorubas can deem it fit to elect a convicted drug dealer we will take our chances with Atiku who has never stood trial in any court of Law, here or any place else.
