CraigB: You failed to fight poachers in Naai-geria. They killed off your rhino. So, you can't talk. You lost the war.

how do you lose a war you never even fought? what a dumb kid

Nigeria has many game reserves and ranch resorts with a lot of animals intact. so far our park rangers are not complaining. the only war being lost to poachers is SANDF.

you waged war on poachers and it's almost 4 years now with your military losing. hide your idiocy abeg. am tired of seeing it

CraigB: You have no point. Dead comment.

Your ignorance is in full view of the public and the glare of media cameras, no doubt

yeah right. you probably thought of how rhinos will manage to survive a desert and dry region which is what northern Nigeria is. i get it. your stup1dity was exposed again. enjoy

andrewza: Who said high numbers. You had rhinos and now they all gone. Because you can not look after your wild live. Even the west african lion is close to joining the rhino with there being under 50. There are southern and eastern prides with more lions than all of the lions in west africa.

come and see lions na.. no be me go tell you to run. how does this change the fact that your military is incapable of fighting ordinary poachers as your rhinos are about to be extinct. lost argument is what i see

CraigB: The fact that you are ignorant, does not mean everyone is. Your rhino sub-species is now extinct because of poaching and uselessness.

You could not protect the western black rhino; and now it is gone forever.

So extinct that you don't even know you once had rhino.

stupidity of the highest order. is this your proof? Rhinos in desert northern Nigeria? did you even look at that map... you an 1diot

andrewza: http://m.voanews.com/a/159154.html

Confirm you west africa

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/01/28/the-economics-of-extinction-africa-s-elephants-and-rhinos-in-danger.html

" Although Nigeria has only 100 wild elephants of its own, it has become the continent’s largest center for retail ivory, according to field studies by the Kenya-based wildlife-trade authority Esmond Bradley Martin, who estimates that 98 percent of the buyers are Chinese. In the past decade the number of Chinese living and working in Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, has soared—and in the city’s Lekki market, he found a vast assortment of carved ivory goods at only a fraction of the prices they would fetch in China. Chopsticks that would cost $455 in Guangzhou were a steal in Lagos at $63. An ivory necklace that might go for nearly $600 in China was priced at $57.

The toll from such baubles and trinkets adds up to a bloodbath. During his study of the Lekki market, Bradley Martin counted a total of 14,000 ivory items, all from elephants freshly killed in neighboring Benin, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and as far away as Kenya and Tanzania."

where does it say Nigeria had high numbers of rhinos? you haven't proved anything here.

and the elephants are poached from other countries. am sure those ivories will come from your rhinos as well.

this article doesn't prove anything.

andrewza: They never even met one another mr fool. The army is not on privat game parks nor are san park rangers.

are you still trying to argue the fact that their arrival was as a result of your military to stop poaching? i don't get you

Mike..ZA:
Your troops(whom carried heavy equipment on their heads) never held the rank of a officer. They were always commanded by a white british man or officer. NOW show me
combat kills bloody Nigerian.

mr man drop this your stup1d question. even the world could not get an accurate combat kills after the war cos it's not always easy to get such figures from especially from a civil war of that magnitude.

casualties will have to be military and civlian combined. of course you should know that yourself since you claim to be knowledgeable in military matters. dumbo

now show proof that white british commanded Nigerian army during the war since you feel like asking questions.

Mike..ZA:
You said that cause you clearly don't have information about what's going in the frontlines,Believing politician the same reason you believe Nigeria is winning the war against BH. You don't hava information,making you a liar,a fool,some I..diot who fantasies about war. I dare you to challenged Mike..ZA on any military topic. and is this you accepting you wrong?

cool the hot fumes boy

so in other word, you just called your president a liar, deceitful and ignorant. keep up the good work.

andrewza: This is factualy wrong both rhino and elphant where abadant in nigeria. Has of now there are no rhinos and about 100 elphants.

where's proof of your above claim please

Mike..ZA:
Sorry to interrupt but Mr are you showing me where Zuma and the SANDF said "SANDF members in the DRC are hiding their weapons from M23"?. How can someone like you(a person who posts rubbish military stuff,and doesn't even know what's going on in the frontlines of on going conflicts across the globe) say something like "am done with your fried brain?. Seek knowledge first boet!

as if you've ever managed to make one clear cut military analysis on this thread. all i've seen from you are cut and paste information and you believe that qualifies you as having knowledge? aside from SANDF, what else do you know? find one place sit down abeg.

hmm! so my saying your troops are hiding their guns as reference to your commanders admittance that your troops will not fight doesn't seem metaphorical to you? okay. keep waiting then. what matters if i've shown you proof that your men are not gonna fight.

and while you keep waiting, show proof of that fake sitrep on the front lines you just yapped.

CraigB: Quote where I said that.

If you can't, then you know what's coming.

trying to walk in my path ehn? how else would you explain your response to his comment

agaugust: NO submarine war has ever been fought in all African history.

.

CraigB: In other words, you have no sinks. Ok, thanks.
.

see why i say don't always be in a hurry? you just keep exposing your loose brain. am done with your fried brain

CraigB: In other words, you have no sinks. Ok, thanks.

Next. Air-to-air combat kills, please.

ignorant piglet.. so without a submarine you can't sink a ship? this clown's a real amusement

Mike..ZA:
The G5 and the G6 have been used
primarily in battlefield interdiction roles and
have
been very accurate due to coinputerised firing
calculations. Artillery observers were deployed
on
the front line and targets which presented
themselves were exploited immediately. When
the Cubans wanted to launch an air strike from
the Angolan airfield at Cuito Cuanavale, artillery
observers on one occasion called for G6 fire
support and destroyed four Russian MiG 21 jet
fighters as they taxied for take off.(46)
The G5 shelled the runways and associated
infrastructure of the airfield at Cuito Cuanavale
over a long period of time and this prevented
the
enemy fighters from taking off to participate
against South African forces. The G5 played a
primary role in destroying the enemy,
including
aircraft and tanks. The fact remains that the
G5
played a critical role during this campaign and
without it the war in Angola would have run a
different course. The G5 proved to be the
backbone of the South African forces during
the
conflict. The G5 was a great psychological
booster
for the members of the SADF operating on the
ground. The role that the G5 fulfilled should
therefore not be underestimated under any
circumstances.(47) Before being operationally
employed the G6 was evaluated, amongst
others,
during Exercise Zenula in May 1986 at
Omuthiya,
the base camp of 61 Mechanised Battalion. The
G5 was used operationally for the first time by
the
SADF on 9 August 1986 during Operation
Alpha
Centauri. This operation lasted until 16 August
1986. One battery of G5s (a battery consists of
eight guns) was employed in conjunction with
one battery of multiple rocket launchers (MRL).
The operation was an artillery attack against
Cuban and FAPLA formations concentrating in
Cuito Cuanavale for their 1986 offensive
against
UNITA. The 25th Cuban-FAPLA Brigade was
situated east of Cuito Cuanavale near Tumpo.
The
13th Brigade was situated in Cuito Cuanavale
and
the 8th Brigade operated between Menongue
and
Cuito Cuanavale, the former being a large
logistics
depot. Convoys regularly travelled from
Menongue to supply Cuito Cuanavale.(48)
The G5 assault began at last light, about
18:00.
By 23:00 the back of the opposition was
broken.
Heavy fire was brought down upon the enemy
in
the first five hours resulting in large scale
destruction. This destroyed the 1986 Cuban
and
FAPLA offensive against UNITA and showed the
tremendous destructive force that lay within
one
battery of G5s. Owing to the long range and
the
accuracy with which the G5 could fire and the
effect of the ammunition, authority was forced
upon the enemy.
As a result of the daylight activities of the MiG
jet
fighters employed by the enemy, artillery fire
missions could only be executed at night. As it
was the first time that the G5 was used
operationally there was great cause for concern
that the MiGs would spot the G5s. The MiGs
were
continuously in the air trying to locate the G5s
and bombed the surrounding area at random
in
the hope of hitting the artillery.(49)
This operation proved to the SADF that survival
was possible despite an unfavourable air
situation.
As a result of the enemy's air superiority, great
attention was given to passive defensive
measures such as camouflage, track discipline
and the concealment of movement. Special
techniques of concealment were practised
beforehand which prevented the enemy from
observing the artillery. Before the operation
was
undertaken these techniques of concealment
were also tested under conditions similar to
those
that the artillery would experience during the
operation. Another factor in favour of the
artillery
was the unprofessional manner in which the
enemy employed its air force. The MiG fighters
flew at a very high altitudes, making
observation
very difficult for the pilots. The apparent reason
for this was to avoid being shot down by
UNITA's
Stinger missiles. In addition, the many bush
fires
in the area, owing to the dryness of the season,
created a lot of dust and smoke in the air.
During
this operation approximately 2 500 MRL
projectiles and approximately 4 500 G5
projectiles
were used.(50)
During 1987 Cuban and FAPLA forces were
concentrated in the east of Angola known to
them as 5th Military District. Operations
launched
by them were aimed at destroying UNJTA,
including their main base at Jamba. As a
counter-
measure, the SADF undertook Operation
Modular
in aid of UNITA which lasted from 1 July to 15
December 1987. This was followed up by
Operation Hooper and culminated in Operation
Packer which ended in March 1988. During
this
period two G5 batteries were employed,
playing a
prominent role in destroying enemy forces.
During these operations it was found that the
HE
projectiles of the G5 could be used to great
effect
against the T-55 tanks employed by the
opposing
force. Between 20 and 30 tanks were in this
way
put out of action by the G5s. It was also found
that when an HE projectile hit the ground and
detonated 15 in from a tank, chances were
good
that the tank concerned would be disabled.
The
enemy had no tactical equipment that could
withstand the 155 mm shell of the G5. After
Operation Packer, a further operation took
place
in south eastern Angola. This was Operation
Displace during which the G5 was also used.
(51)
The artillery found that the G5 was flexible
owing
to its long range and the convenient top
traverse
of the barrel for the arc of fire. When the top
traverse was impeded by trees, the gun crews
would use, amongst others, chain saws and
explosives to remove the trees, but this was
not
done to the detriment of camouflage. It was
also
found that the G5 gave tactical advantage
owing
to its mobility. During the above-mentioned
operations, the MiGs again took to speculative
bombing of the area in the hope of flushing out
the G5s. As in 1986 the G5s were regarded as
the
prime target. One of the factors causing the
MiGs
to be unsuccessful was the discipline shown by
the SA troops in adhering to passive defensive
measures. As a result of the prolonged duration
of
these operations, gun unservicibility started
becoming more of a problem. This resulted in
greater logistical problems for the SADF as
even
large components such as barrels had to be
replaced in the field. Special hoisting apparatus
and tools were needed to replace the barrels
but
in spite of this no great problems were
experienced in changing the barrels in the
field.
This experience proved that the G5 was
technically maintainable in the field.(52)
Under the prevailing, difficult cross-country
conditions the auxiliary power unit proved to
be
of tremendous assistance to the gun tractor.
The
gun tractor and the G5 formed a long train in
the
bush and the trees and thick undergrowth
stripped certain equipment off the G5 when it
turned. The bush-breaking also caused some
damage to the gun tractor as well as to the G5
and certain modifications were therefore made,
eg the battery box which was situated on the
outside of the trails is now situated on the
inside
of the trails.(53) Some of these modifications
were not introduced on G5s which were
destined
for the international market owing to the
difference in terrain.(54) The last operational
deployment of the G5 in Angola was during
Operation Prone near Tchipa, during June
1988.
(55)
The G6 made its operational debut in
December
1987 during Operation Modular. The mobility of
the G6 in dense bush proved to be highly
successful. The greatest cause for concern was
whether the tyres would stand up to the
rugged
conditions, especially while breaking the bush.
Fortunately there was no cause for concern as
the
tyres gave very few problems. They proved to
be
very robust and survived very well during
Operation Modular and were found to be more
robust than those of most other operational
vehicles

fact still remains that the G6 didn't help you win the war. so you can stop posting this info unless it's about how you won a war with it.

Mike..ZA:
Don't forget to show me where the SANDF and Zuma said "The SANDF members in eDRC are hiding their weaapons from M23".

go back to my previous poast. am not gonna repeat it again.

it say SANDF will not fight M23 rebels. a mandate they were sent there for in the first place. if that isn't cowardice then tell me what it is.

NaijaPikinGidi: It is his duty to respond to our comments whether he likes it or not! It will take a miracle for him not to show up on the slightest comment. Now watch him respond to this.

the boy remains predictable

he responded with another yapping

watch as he responds to this one too

NaijaPikinGidi: Only yourself can figure out what you are up about. But from where I stand you simply are an attention seeking circus clown ...

you are not wrong at all. dude has been seeking my attention after i've been begging him to just scroll pass my comments.

CraigB: Tyring to hide behind the banana leaf

You argument has died a slow death. That's why you are not even trying to revive it. If I'm not mistaken, you've killed 4 arguments today. And you want us to think that you are smart? LOL

Lower rungs of civilisation, is you.

still can't quot me ehn? keep yapping then. that's what you are known for annyway.. a yapping clown.

it seems you'll always stalk me, so i have to put you in the same basket with you playmate kwame

enjoy quoting me to beg for attention

CraigB: You said : "if it is true". Therefore, you accept that it might not be true. Simple.

You even emphasised the "if" and in the process, shot yourself in the foot.

CONFIRMED ID1OT. just proved my point. you think from your a*shole and your ignorance stinks like dead fish.

can't quote me i see. okay

CraigB: Oh great - so in other words - that we hide our guns from M23 is only an "if" to you?

So, what is the noise about? You admit that it might actually not be true.

You see what I mean? You will never measure up. Give it up. And that rhymes too.

You've been sleepy from birth, monkey. I am not here to entertain you. You've been scoring own goal after own goal all day. Killing your own arguments.

so you just confirmed how id1otic you are. quote where i said the information is unreliable and stop talking gibberish. simple

CraigB: Boo-hoo. Cry baby.

Proof from a commander in chief that you think is also confused? Now, he is reliable?



Idïot...

and please quote where i said his comments are unreliable. i dare you. let's epose who's the stupido here

if you can't, then remain an id1ot for life

CraigB: Given that you respond me to me more than anyone else does, the numbers say you are lying! you quote and refer to CraigB even when you talk to other people.

You are just crying because you tried to bite and got your feelings hurt instead.

I told you: talking about intelligence will not make you smart.

i see you've changed your talk as i've exposed your illiteracy. youe couldn't understand a simple statement with the word "if" see why you bore me? now am feeling sleepy.

try to stop quoting me and you'll be surprised at what will happen. and if you quote this post, then you are clearly seeking my attention.

Mike..ZA:
M23 is losing ground. FARDC has reached their famous post on the antennas + plus a estimated 30 POWs. Let's talk about facts on the ground,I have reliable sources in eastern DRC.

yet you lambaste @augugust whenever he says facts due to his interaction with military personnel without links. you lots are just a bunch of hypocrites.

if you don't have proof, just shut it and let us rely on available and reliable information so far... from your commander in chief

CraigB: Proof from politicians that you say are confused?

Now how can someone that you say is confused be your proof as well?

Does that make sense in your monkey brain?

you must really enjoy my company. too bad i feel otherwise you simply bore me

chris365: yet you still talk from your a*s

if it's true, then the only ignorant people here are your president and defense minister. with you included though.

try google the meaning of the word "if", cos i can see how confused you are.

you know it's not a must to quote me. am tired of you drawing my attention only to bore me to sleep.

just read my post and scroll or ignore. it's very easy. stop seeking my attention.

Mike..ZA:
I refered you to their account cause you clearly said the "SANDF soldiers were hiding their guns" from M23. And oh Brigadier General Xolani Mabaga didn't release any statement about the recent fighting. Prove it to me again that the SANDF is hiding. PROVE IT!!!!

this is my proof from your commander in chief i posted earlier..

SA troops in DRC won’t fight M23: Presidency

now call him a liar and ignorant, then i'll believe you

and am still waiting for your own proof.. that if you have any

CraigB: From you? The same person who's been struggling to ignore me for months?

Is this your new argument now? Thank you then. I am happy that you admit that your argument about the SANDF hiding its guns from M23 is now being withdrawn. In which case, your ignorance is confirmed beyond any shadow of a doubt. You shot your mouth of without thinking. And now you are withdrawing your argument.

You could always let us know if the argument still stands

calm your anger son. unless i see proof, i ain't withdrawing my comment. or except you openly call your president a liar and ignorant. then i'll withdraw it.

if i stop responding or quoting you, try the same with me. that's how you know who wants attention. which you seem to be whining for since

CraigB: It's the horse's mouth, idïot. You keep showing how much of an enemy of enlightenment you are.

You'd rather spew garbage than speak from an informed position. SMH.

unless he's part of SANDF in goma, sit back and shut your ignorant mouth and stop using idioms wrongly.

dude stop seeking my attention biko. it's not compulsory to quote or make someone talk to you.

CraigB: As usual, you wait until I've logged off before you address me. Cowardly baboon.

Look at what Mike has said about you. Nothing further needed. What's there to defend? The ignorance is solely on your side. You even admit that you aren't interested in gaining any knowledge. Your own words: not mine.

So in other words, you no longer go with your SABC article, do you? You no longer argue that the SANDF hid their guns from M23? You've moved on to the next desperate point? Thought so. You've been beaten up badly and now you keep drifting from point to point, hoping to make something stick. It's too late. You've done all the damage to yourself today.

look at this goat. wait for you to log off? just proves all you want is attention to your stup1dity

your dead brain must have missed the part where i wrote "if true". well as always, you remain at the lowest level.

i repeat.. if true, then your leaders are ignorant and confused

Mike..ZA:
If you were interested or knowledgeable about wars. It would be only normal for you to follow and keep an ear an both or more "parties" involved in the fighting. My point is: @Chris365 posts rubbish without knowledge about what actually goes on in the frontlines. YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!!!But your nearest library can cure that.

lol.. and you just proved how stup1d you are by referring me to a M23 twitter account when there are thousands other sources of information.

or refer your president and defense minister to M23 twitter account since you just confirmed their ignorance.

post sources to prove your imaginary simulations or just shut up.

CraigB: Of course, you say what you see. That's the problem. You don't see far enough. The M23 have confirmed the engagement. Ignorance is bliss.

yet you still talk from your a*s

if it's true, then the only ignorant people here are your president and defense minister. with you included though.

i'll like to see how you'll defend this one cos am not done laughing

Mike..ZA:
You simply don't "follow" wars.

so it's now a bad thing that i didn't follow M23? which i have no intention of following anyway. so what's your point

zaandrew: Again doing reshearch will help you a lot. They where on a private game farm. Aka there where no solders or any goverment rangers. You really are a fool.

o common .. don't tell me you didn't read the article. hate the game, not the player.. i didn't write the article, am only using it as my proof that those special forces where brought in to help your dead brain army fight ordinary poachers.

Mike..ZA:
Tanzanian troops are providing artillery support to FARDC. While the SANDF is firing 81mm mortars,but the SANDF snipers used the NTW-20 to take out that Machine nest which was used to pin down the FARDC troops.

source please.. you don't wanna bore us with your imaginary simulations would you?
