Without being rude,you're really pathetic. How is that video "unprofessional" & "childish?" You obviously don't know shit about the military. Simple things like that are moral boosters. If it were American forces (that people like you worship) that shot a video like that,you won't say shyt. Check around the internet & you'd see even u.s. forces in videos like that boosting "moral."
About 2 years ago in Afghanistan, a couple of American soldiers were caught on video urinating on the bodies of some killed militants & I think there was also at least one alive....so much for "DISCIPLINE." People like you suffer from gross inferiority complex & must always talk down Nigeria or anything black or African. RUBBISH.
If there was video of American soldiers acting like this, then you better believe that this American and many more around the nation would be highly disappointed see our soldier's careless actions as seen in this video. It'll be all over the news, just as our soldiers caught hell during that Afghan incident and that Iraqi prison torture incident, in which were worst that what's seen here in this video. My comment wasn't signifying that the Nigerian soldiers were not good fighters, but rather have some areas of professionalism in which need to worked on a bit more, aka weapons handling.

caesaraba: "Morale" (Get familiar with the word).
I guess you didn't call some of the French soldiers who wore clown(ish) masks right on the war-front in Mali, "bunch of fools."
That show of "ignorant foolishness" as you put it, has become a traditional pre-deployment activity for Nigerian troops and that has not being known to negetively affect the troops' perfomance on the battlefield. (They are going to war! Not a dinner party).
You should leave "Soldiering" to soldiers.

But hey! Some are just programmed to dis anything Nigerian by default.
Dude lets get real; did you actually look at the video? Traditional pre-war activities to boost moral and get the men riled up and ready to fight is common place in most militaries, but in this case their actions are just STUPID and very unprofessional. First of all, throughout most of that video, the dudes were flaring their guns all over the place, and many times they were pointing right at the other men standing off to the side. That's highly unprofessional. There were other issues I've seen, but that was the major one.

according to this report, Nigerian forces will only be doing "limited combat duties". cheesy

CHANNELS TELEVISION, LAGOS
17 January, 2013

The Senate has approved the deployment of 1,200 Nigerian troops to join French forces that are currently staging an onslaught against Islamist militia in Mali. The Senate gave the approval on Thursday after deliberating behind closed doors for almost two hours.

President Goodluck Jonathan had written to the Senate requesting its consent to deploy troops to Mali on limited combat duties. huh The approval is coming just as the President has asked for a more robust response to global terrorism. He stated this while condemning Wednesday’s kidnapping of British, French and other foreign workers in eastern Algeria.

Citing the deployment of Nigeria’s
troops to Mali as a sign of the country’s commitment to the war on terrorism, President Jonathan, who was meeting with the new British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Andrew Pocock, said Nigeria will continue to play a part in maintaining global peace.

HNosegbe: The war of 1812 was a tie.

The US could not have won the Korean war, beacuse its ally (South Korea) didn't (and still doesn't) control the entire peninsula.
The war of 1812 was not a tie, it was a victory. The Brits invaded the US, and the US pushed them out, that's a victory. Now the US did attempt to go further and push them out of the border areas of Eastern Canada in a effort to obtain full control of the great lakes and the St. Lawrence River, they were rather successful up till their invasion of Quebec city, in whom's historic fortifications proved to be more trouble than the Americans were willing to put forth the effort for, and so they dropped the effort of taking Canada and pulled out, satisfied with the fact of that they kicked the Brits azz once again in their attempt to control them. cheesy

If the American would of continued their bombardment attack on Quebec, they would of taken eventually taken it within a few months more time, and in turn they would of obtained full control of the St. Lawrence riven and thus control of Eastern Canada, with the exception of Nova Scotia, in which would of taken maybe another month via a combined Navel and Land invasion, in that at the time the peninsula was the British's military strong point of Canada. cheesy


In regard to the Korean War, the objective was not to take control of the entire peninsula, but rather to simply prevent the communist from taking over the entire nation. This objective was achieved.

andrewza: The USA has fought a number of high inteserty wars before. The last one was the invasion of Iraq that then becam a coin opertion. During the first gulf war where the wiped out the Miltary of Iraq. Then there was vietnam. A war that was both coin and a high intesty war against the NVA (the Amrican never lost a major battel against the communasts there) so they have experiance in it.
Revolutionary War
War of 1812
Mexican-American war
Civil War
Spanish-American war
WW1
WW2
Korean War
Gulf War 1
Gulf war 2
Afghanistan war

These were all conventional wars in which the US took engaged in victoriously. Vietnam is often titled as Tie, but I say it was a lose. Panama wasn't really a conventional fight, it was more on par with what the Nigerian forces did in Liberia and Sierra Leon.

Anyone should be educate me on this because I've been made to believe North Korea is a military country and could easily erase the whole of South Korea If the South doesn't get help from US and other world Powers. Nice one for Nigeria though
No, NK ground forces are of course well trained, though the entire force as a whole is full of old rundown rusty dusty equipment, while SK has some of the worlds most advance equipment at their disposal and they are also very well trained. The only thing NK will have on SK is moral. The NK have been groomed for war and very little else. Their life evolves around what they consider an inevitable incident. They welcome the day the South and or US will go to war with them. cheesy

CAMEROONPRIDE: could u please explain what you mean by:Major source(how many "slaves""need to b taken from a place for you to consider the place as a major source.
If you read your history from a west African point of view of course you will come across Ghana and Nigeria, Cameroon is classified as a Central African country tho we are a west-central African country. And I think we are just a west African country.
Again with the most how many exactly? Did you make a count?
You should look at other people work not only English speaker/Anglophone that's why I think your views are biased and you are quite limited ,I bet you can't list any french or German authors, I don't blame you tho before making a claim you must know others views and analysis. Actual Cameroon has been controlled by the Portuguese,Germans,English,French some parts to b exact so if someone want to know the history of some Cameroonian ethnicity he shouldn't neglect the writings of each country
Most of the few slaves taken from the area in which is today known as Cameroon, were Igbo. Remember that the lands in which occupy the south-western part of your nation now, were once Igbo lands prior to the Brits and Germans splitting it almost in two with the west part going to the Brits under their Nigerian Colony and the eastern part going to the Germans as part of their Cameroonian colony.

This combined area makes up the entire Bight of Bonny area, were over nearly 90% of the slaves taken from this area were Igbo, and in regard to Cameroon its self; well over 90% of the slaves taken from the lands in which now comprise that nation, came from the western lands in which were at the time part of the Igbo lands prior to them being snatch away and divided up by the Germans and British. cheesy

snydergp: The AU and its regional security organisations has a agreement on deployment of troops in regional conflicts due to economic, geopolitical considerations including the 2011 spat between ECOWAS, SA Foreign Affiars and France in Ivory Coast.

ABUJA-South Africa's decision to deploy a Naval Vessel to Ivory Coast is complicating efforts to bring a peacefull resolution to the country's post election crisis, the West African region bloc ECOWAS said on tuesday "As we now there is a South African Naval warship docket in Cote De Ivoire.

Now actions such as that can only complicate the matter further, "the presedent of ECOWAS Commision, James Victor Gheho, said in Nigerian capital Abuja, "the concern that some of us have is that apparently of certain Geopolitical Interests, some countries are keen on awarding a failure mark to ECOWAS at this stage so that they themselfs would shine," Gbeho said.

News24.com/news/ecowas-miffed-at-sa-warship-in-ivory-coast-20110208

Even when this happend there was a navy frigate from Netherlands also docked in ivory coast, but ur beloved Nigeria and Ecowas kept quiet and only focussed on SA personally this actually came from France because they didn't want a African navy warship in there backyardgrin
Humm, sorry to hear this. I think that's silly. When there is a problem in Europe all or most of the EU members respond regardless of what region they come from. This is how it should be in Africa, don't you think? Especially in the case of the major forces on the continent, such as SA, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia.. just to name a few, but especially Nigeria and SA. I feel as though if Nigeria and SA worked more closely together in helping to secure the continent from such threats as extremest groups, that in the long run the continent as a whole will end up being a much safer place.

Case in point is this Mali situation, Nigeria and SA alone could be all the African force needed to team up with France and the Mali forces to eliminate the rebels; there'd be no need for all the other smaller nations to get involved. The same case for CAR, Liberia, Sierra Leon, Darfur. It's a shame you two don't get along, that'll be an great dynamic dual in which could be truly effective in bringing lasting stability to the continent.
