rka1: There are regular training exercises. Just because the armed forces don't regularly carry out photo shoots doesn't mean there are no exercises.

these south africans don't know sh1t about Nigeria. they only depend on warped journalism to feed on.

zaandrew: SA has not been to war 23 years and in 2 months 24 years hence non of our new weapons have been shot at. And I am pround of that fact war should not be celebrated. M23 had heavier wepaons but abbdon most of them during the FARDC attack witch is somthing SA can be proud of. Since many of those solders including senior officers where trained by the SANDF.

Bunch of hypocrites. The other time you south Africans were accusing Nigerian military of not having conventional war experience while Nigeria had never been challenged by any country. Now you want to tell us the use of you roivaak against a rag tag rebel group as something to be proud of because SA has not been to war for 23 yaers. Don't make me laugh.

can m23 be compared as more sophisticated than the then Liberian and Sierra Leon? M23 does not have a standard anti aircraft gun and SA is not the lead in the fight. So bros, it's not something to be proud of yet.

zaandrew: Right wing extrmist groups are just that. Extrmists. Same hase american extmist miltia groups. They not a threat to any one. The boer mag attempted a take over but were foiled. They then spent 10 years on trial.

Believe me all militant groups started like that. As long as the problem that created them is not resolved, they'll keep growing in numbers and desperation.

They may not be able to over your government but you've got a big problem coming and you know it.

zaandrew: The folow on acstion is a diffrent battel. I did not say nigeria is losing the war. Just they lost this battel.

No it was a checkpoint and it failed in it's role since BH got a large force through it.


In the long run nigeria is winning thanks to attrsion. If BH numers were close to that of the JTF this would be a very fiffrent war. BH is should never of gotten this strong but there were faluers.

Are you sure you are a soldier? How many troops are stationed in a checkpoint that a large BH force with anti aircraft guns can not overrun.

They didn't lose any battle, the damaturu attack was repelled and BH payed a huge price for it.

You must be ignorant on this matter to think BH are few in numbers. They even got groups from Mali, Niger, had and Cameroon fighting dor them.

zaandrew: The IRA was never able to lauch full scale raids of this natuer. The fact is regaudlse of the later retalastion nigriai sufferd a out right deaft here.

My qustion is where do you get your infomastion. There is a infomastion blank whole.


Fled? Really? We left has there was no longer a legal mandate to remain behind. We had a training mission with the old regiem the old regiem is gone so the training mission is now no longer in place. Reiforments were flown to ugander and DRC for if a counter attack was authrised. The french did not want a counter attack and they controled the airport. So we left.

When south africa left no one was shooting at them and we left at our own pace.




We all so fought seleka till they proposed a cease fire.

Guy don't make me laugh. IRA was a very big threat to Britain to the extent that the former prime minister with some parliamentarians were almost assassinated. Britain lost close to 1000 soldiers and SAS. If that's not full scale to you I wonder what you understand by insurgency.

Damaturu was peaceful for sometime which made the military relax(though it was an error to believe it was over), they were caught unaware. Now look at the death toll for such a surprise attack. No army barrack was over run, almost 100 insurgents were killed and about 10 soldiers with very little civilian casualty. That's definitely not a lose.

the only mistake was that they lost their guard which allowed BH to launch such attack. it's guerrilla warfare so I don't know what what you expect.

There's an information blank for foreigners not for us Nigerians cos most western journalists sit thousands of miles away to do their reports. Even ENCA correspondents never moved near the north before, so how can you trust their stories to be 100%.

Outside media have never been fare with Nigeria that's why we laugh when you people post those jargons they write.

zaandrew: You guys lost doubel the number of men we lost in CAR and killed a francstion of the numbers and still you go on about it.

yes we've lost soldiers in this war the same way other militaries in stronger countries have lost men in the war against insurgency on their own soil(Britain and russia included), but we are still fightin and reducing their numbers everyday to the extent that bomb attacks have stopped, boko haram have been pushed out of urban areas and now operates in boarder areas unlike when they started. is that not progress to you?

oh, less i forget. you fled from seleka as if SANDF saw the boogeyman

rka1: It won't be long now before you guys come to us for help when it all kicks off down there .

i assure you it will happen soon. i talked about red october no south african challenged it, now please watch this video.

white extremists groups are springing uo and are arming up everyday and it's only a matter of time

agaugust: i just proved to you i live in america, i gave you a technical knock-out with my question, "who is a native white american" , you messed up the answer, only people who have lived about 7 days in america will ever know the right answer.

i have challenged all south africans to bring your country's chartered accountants to challenge my BSc and MBA, nobody showed up from mandela/zuma republic since one year ago....cowards

as a person with military knowledge, i dont boast, but i have written posts from page 12 to 833 of this forum.

i am open to challenge from any military officer from cape town to cairo, let them come prove their stuff.

i have hanged the military uniforms of all 3 south african military men on this forum on top of my mango tree, do i have to hang their boxer shorts too and make them walk n..a..k..e..d ?

Augustine/Agaugust just hates to boast.

.

abeg you don finish these mofos already naa... you want make them begin beg you?

Henry120: . Bros, they got only 6 gripen pilots. All there augusta helicopters are grounded, the gripens are in a fridge. Their roviaalk sub-standard helicopter, nobody wants, is still lying in soweto. It would most likely be deployed to DRC when all combat engagements are done with, and serious nations like tanzania have withdrawn their troops. Then the r*tards would come here and claim that the piece of shit saw action in DRC.

actually, the fight is over. Congolese army have taken M23 last stronghold. so once again their roviaak is useless. they were busy painting the scrap when the fighting was intense .

just watch as the fake attorney will cry "we are still in DRC" as if they led or sponsored the mission

CraigB: Shame on Naai-geria.

no. shame on your lying dirty brain that your fellow countryman exposed your ignorance.

rka1: Just to show what a BH sympathiser you are.

actually his likes are also preparing for something bigger. to wage a racial war in SA, so it's only right he gives extremists groups his best support.

swanky@vodamail:
that's a lie as of august Nigeria has 46 billion dollars in reserve and they lost 1.8 billion at the same time due to the deprecetion of the Naira while SOuth Africa had 53 billion dollars in reserve so please stop lying to us and to the nigerian community

hey dummy, we also have billions in yuans which when added to the dollar reserve, is more than 50 billion

.

Mike..ZA:
South Africa knows the capabilities of almost half of your arsenal,we destroyed/captured large quantities them.......Asking that shows you're stu'pid,you don't understand the complexity of that war. Cuba was supplied with the best or newest soviet of weapons. All they ever needed was troops.

simple yes or no would have sufficed instead of this your tiring blab. shall we also say nations that lost wars are to be feared cos they fought against tanks, fighter jets etc.. ? please grow some sense

you fought a war against an inexperienced army and couldn't make them surrender. how's that an achievement to cry about.

all i've heard you say all these while is "we blew up this and that" instead of we made the inexperienced cuba surrender and retreat to their tiny island. go sleep abeg

you understand the complexity of war failed to acknowledge that Nigeria defeated the chadian military that gaddafi couldn't defeat. we crushed cameroonian military and pushed them away from bakassi, enforced peace on two of the most deadliest civil wars in the world etc..

see as you don make me break my silence sha

cKaiser: I responded specifically where you were trying to equate Yorubas to people who beat anyone with opposing opinions into coma.

And in my life time I have never seen

People on the street of Yorubaland criticise all Yoruba leaders and no one beats them unconscious like they do in Iboland

I am sure the same OP would condemn Northerners if they do that to Buhari

Ibos and Hausas are just different sides of the same intolerant coin

True. They are intolerant I know cos I schooled there. Buy it doesn't give me the right to demean any race cos I have friends from almost all the race in this country. And I'm damn sure you have igbo friends as well.

Mind you, the op might just be rumor mongering. Abi you don forget sey na nairaland you dey?

azeezhy: now i know you need to be lectured.
How many races do we have?
How many tribes do we have in Nigeria

My dear you reek of ignorance. Go back to school before you come here to embarrass yourself.

azeezhy: * my comments are not racist but tribal
* you are so yoruba that you spelt it yojuba
* you dont really have to pretend to be yoruba to make your points

now I believe I'm talking to an ignorant baboon. so how is racism different from what you posted? no wonder

mind you, only a stup1d person will look for typo errors while ignoring the message in a comment. I believe i passed the message correctly. so in your dumb mind you have to spell Yoruba correctly to actually be a Yoruba? this just became comedy. Omo ti ko ni opolo ni ori.

cKaiser: Hold it there.

Tell me which Politician you can say "Who is ----" that would earn you blows in the SouthWest.

Is It Fashola or Tinubu or even Awolowo

are you this gullible that you'll believe the crap the op posted? I post was a response to what azeez wrote and I don't see anything wrong with anyone liking GEJ. not that I like the man.

azeez was just being a hypocrite.

azeezhy: i like the way you deny your tribe... Judas...
Anyway, its probably you and your people that dont want to offend tinubu... A true son of the soil has no alligience to anybody.. Thats why we are the most dignified race. Omo ibo

listen here you this deluded monkey. I'm not an igbo boy. what makes us dignified if I may ask. cam you tell me which yorjuba state cam boost of development despite almost all industries located on our lands? and is it igbos that are supporting one of the most currupt politicians in this country(Tinubu and co.)?

you were so quick to make a foolish and racist comment on a rumor that's not verified. now ask yourself how foolish is that

azeezhy: Yeah he is in the land of homo mumulus igboids.
Yeah he is very popular in the land where hairy chested men dont know the difference between left and right.
He is popular in the land of the slaves... You know what they say... In the land of the blind, a one eyed man is usually the king.

though I'm not an igbo man, I think your comment is stup1d and your brain needs to be revamped.

how are the igbos different from the yorubas who follow our selfish and greedy politicians like flies following sh1t? lagos is a mess today cos we don't want to offend tinubu, his puppet fashola and their band of thieves.

once again you are an 1diot who deserves to be fed to the pigs.

you can reply me with your foolishness is you wish. I'm done with you. oloriburuku

hmmm! and he claimed he was fighting for the country's interest. no wonder the frog kept blabbing about non existent agreement so that GEJ can give him chance. I just dey look for now. yeye frog

Mike..ZA:
That's the thing Nigeria doesn't have that air superiority fighter to counter advanced jets like the SU-30...........The Gripen is the most advanced jet in sub-saharan Africa.......Rooivalk is the most sophisticated attack helicopter sub-saharan Africa.....Oryx helicopter is best helicopter fitted to operate in high temperatures of sub-saharan Africa..............Both Sudan and Ethiopia have old upgraded soviet era jets and helicopters.

Dreamer boy. I thought grippen was a light attack jet. So what makes it better than Egypt and morroco's F-16 jets. Uganda, Sudan and Algeria have more better fighter jets and attack hellicopters than SAAF so stop dreaming.

The day a foreign military starts using your low grade US Apache helicopter copycat, them you can start making noise.

Henry120: The F-7 is an interceptor. It's not a ground attack fighter. That's not to say it cannot carry out ground missions.

The SAAF is not the most advanced airforce in sub-saharan africa. I'd classify sudan and ethiopia above SAAF.

True. But how Israel flew past sudan'sradar and bombed their territory, flew back without being intercepted makes me wonder the air worthiness of their advanced air crafts or efficiency of sudan's air force. Just my opinion sha

nice photos

are those troops behind the special forces in the last picture Nigerian

snydergp: This sounds more like a naai-ja person talking sh.t trying to fool others.

I can see how the hatred for Nigeria has made you paranoid get some help before you go crazy

How can you claim to be old on this thread and not remember that illiterate Sudanese Oh I forgot you SAs have short memories

and the same ignorant negroid igbos will claim Jewish identity while the recist Jews don't wanna know you. my igbo brother's have lost their identit :oy

AfroArab: I am not Mr, I am a woman, I am soldier of the Sudanese militia but I have the Egyptian blood. Is the Arab league that we are both included with the Egypt and the Sudan, all is Arab league land of brothers. Your Army of Nigeria is still in the Liberia for twenty years and never will go. You want to rule all over Africa now in the Sudan your Army send a new renforcements again one battalion this month we are now, so why? Your Army is ten years occupying my Arab land and you trick to stay for ever and is like the Americans Army is still in the Iraq land all of you do this invading of Arab lands and we dont want the black peoples or white peoples to rule Arab land okay. Go back home we have a peace in the Sudan.

you again!! i thought they silenced you hundreds of pages ago

so what happened. did a Nigerian army blow a hole in another of your brothers' skull? learn to keep the peace with the south Sudanese, then we'll leave

so for now just shut the fvck up if you don't have anything reasonable to say. lay your complain to the UN. this is nairaland

Our pride and joy. These boys don't just get world class training, they've seen actions to prove their competence. From the Atlantic ocean to the enclaves of bpko haram in the desert north. @henry you dey try no be small. *in oliver twist's voice* please sir I need some more

ZDee: I see naai-gerian goons are still lying to themselves about the capabilities of their useless and incompetent army, ofcoz the chief goon agogust is still feeding the muds lies that they're all too happy to swallow.
My hope was that the beating they've been getting from boko-haram would humble them, and get them to admit what the whole world and everybody not blinded by patriotism knows about their useless army. Unfortunately they've sunk deeper and deeper in their delusions and lies.
naai-gerian monkeys, when will y'all face the truth about your useless army? Your chief boon has now even convinced your 419 brains that the f7 is a match to the mighty GRIPEN . My goodness, the shithole between Benin and Cameroun produces alot of deluded humanoids.

yawns!!! dry story.. who released this baboon from the zoo so early na

rka1: How can you say it is failing to curb the massacres. Do you know what an insurgency is? The facts are they have pushed BH away from urban centres, from their camps and strongholds, uncovered loads of armed caches at various locations, killed a lot of their senior leaders, have thousands of their fighters in custody and they are now mostly attacking from Cameroun at soft targets. Show me an army that has achieved this in such a short period of time? I will take this kind of "failure" anytime.

Afghanistan and their NATO allies have not come even close to this. There are still bombs going off in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Iraq, Russia etc.

Do you think SANDF would be able to handle a crisis like BH? I wouldn't hold my breath.

my brother, even their military couldn't control a less deadly ANC and common poachers. how do you think they can handle a deadlier and more sophisticated boko haram. no mind these keyboard soldiers, na to make noise them sabi

guys, i saw this and couldn't help to wonder what kind of training KDF special forces get

how can a team of elite troops that are supposed to put down a threat abandon their mission and start looting shame on KDF

no wonder the operation lasted for 4 days.. 3 days for looting and 1 day for shooting at nothing
