Yes, confirmed.. Ehizibue.

theenchanter:
so, why has AFCTA not yet commenced?

jln115:
He thanked you out of courtesy just like he did for a number of other nations.......

Also technically speaking Mercenary companies are banned in South Africa, so its not that easy to hire them. Our Government came down hard on STTEP for its involvement in Nigeria, besides most of our mercenaries are in the Middle East being paid much more than what African countries could afford

jln115:
I dont need to watch a video to know the history, I've been a keen follower of military related topics in Africa for a long time and I know what happened in Sao Tome and in Sierre Leone, enough to know that SAn mercenaries played a much larger role in defeating RUF than Nigeria did hence why the Sierre Leone government hired executive outcomes!

Also I'm pretty sure our movies are better known in Africa, since they are also better known internationally as well...............pretty sure movies like District 9, elysium and Chappie are releativly well known in Africa.........were as i dont know a single Nigerian movie.

And yes im white so you've got a point but i've seen black South Africans stating the same thing you do about SAn artists.

Same reason Elon Musk and others come to SA, they are also not here o waste their time.

My point is that SA has a larger regional influence than Nigeria and imo a larger influence in Africa as a whole than Nigeria

jln115:
Glad you agreed that you only trained a few ANC members, and made no actual military contribution, secondly Nigeria in the grand scheme of things did very very very little to actually end Apartheid.

Also Our Mercenaries made great inroads to defeating Boko Haram......you should've thanked GJ for bring in people that know a thing or two about COIN warfare instead of criticizing him.

jln115:
Well maybe because he was in Nigeria on a private trip when the coup happened and not in Nigeria to ask for assistance.

It was [b]South African mercenaries(Not Nigeria) that regained control of the diamond fields and defeated the RUF in Sierra Leone, and forced peace negotiations. [/b]

I literally dont know a single Nigerian artist or movie......And I doubt most of our immediate neighbors do either, on the flip side our movies and actors have won Oscars

The same point you were trying to make by saying mark zuckerberg visited Lagos

So in other words South Africa has more economic influence than Nigeria has..............thanks for proving my point

jln115:
Bro infrastructural drives development and growth..............So yes if you take out our infrastructure we would be just like the rest of the continent but luckily we aint!

Secondly Nigeria has never and I repeat has never provided any sort of Military aid to South Africa.........and im not talking about a bit of training here and there during apartheid, Im talking about actual intervention like what South African mercenaries are doing in Nigeria by physically fighting Boko Haram.

jln115:
Actually South Africa was involved in the negotiations with regards to Sao Tome so don't act like it was just Nigeria that reinstated him.

In Sierra Leone its a well known fact that the South African mercenary group executive outcomes was responsible for defeating the RUF and stabilizing the country.

South Africa also led military interventions in Lesotho

Also its debatable if Nigeria has more influence with regards to Music and Culture than South Africa..............

Same reason Elon Musk, Bill Gates ect ect have also visited South Africa

Economic wise yes West Africa has had a higher average growth and the reason for that is 2 fold, firstly WA is less developed hence typically you'll find higher growth in less developed economies and 2 Souh Africa has a much higher economic impact in SADC(and Africa) hence when the South African economy struggles so does the rest of the SADC countries, When the Nigerian economy struggles it has a less of an impact on its region.

jln115:
Ok mate so tell me what is influence..........How is Nigeria influencing it neighbors?

Secondly I said tech hubs have nothing to do with innovation...............I did not say actual innovations dont have anything to do with innovation..........Go look at the Global innovation index , ICT index or Technological Achievement index...............South Africa is far ahead and Nigeria is not closing the gap

Lastly if you look at the fragile states index both Mozambique and Angola are much much more stable than Nigeria, Zimbabwe are ranked more or less the same as Nigeria.

The most stable African countries: Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania are all SADC countries, the only other West African countries that can compare is Gabon and Ghana

P.S Tanzania is part of SADC

Subzero047:
Yeah they have a stereotype against African players, if you are not fast and strong you are not good enough

I was listening to Tim Sheerwood saying that Iheanacho should use his speed to overtake players, but anybody who knows Iheanacho knows that speed is not his strong point but finishing

tylann:
It is not about Alshabaab did you open the link and read

jln115:
This post proves you have no idea of what your talking about.

Firstly we deploy more troops to the DRC and S.Sudan than Nigeria even though both those countries are much much closer to Nigeria we also led the entire MONUSCO mission in the DRC, also if we compare the SADC region to West or East Africa you'll realize that SADC is much more stable and prosperous.

Also do you know what tech hubs are ?? they have nothing to do with technological innovation if you were wondering

It was never the objective of South Afica to become a Continental power in terms of political and military power..........

Holland, Belgium, France and Spain are the best leagues for our players to start from (Particularly those who like dribbling and are technical by nature).
Holland in particular as this league concentrated on developing young players.
Chidera Ejuke made a wise move going to a mid-table team in Holland.
In the ductch league and other leagues mentioned above they teach you tactics, good decision making, how to apply your creativity in a team setting e.t.c.
I don't beleive your young players should go to the English league as that league does not understand or appreciate technical players and concentrates too much on physicality (strength and speed).
the great Kanu Nwankwo started at Ajax (which is a club focused on development-- dem no kuku get money).
Mark my words, most of our players who cut it in Holland, Belgium, France and Spain will go on to be particularrly succesful.
In fact, if Mikel had started in Ajax he could have become like Pirlo and not Makelele (that Maurinho turned him into).
You see, in holland they develop you and take you by the hand and mould you into a star and then, they correct your mistakes

OK genius what other country in Africa has more power and influence in Africa than South Africa.....

gallivant:
You started well but that's where I stopped reading.

Kazikazi:
All your points make sense.They are very sensible. But in a real world,this world which is full of bastards,your points are just theoretically correct.Practically,its impossible to mind your own affairs in this type of world we are living.Just check these examples..

Zimbabwe had leadership disaster,South Africa chose not to mind Zim affairs.You ended up hosting over a million zimbos.If you had interfered,may be you could have averted that crisis.

Africa lacked infrastructure. You had all the know how, but you chose to ignore the rest of Africa,you chose to focus inward,but as we speak Chinese are reaping billions of cash which you SAns should have taken it since you had all the capabilities to do that.All those projects which are constructed by chinese companies, they were naturally yours! You could have reaped billions of dollars.

Foreigners came into SA.You decided not to mind their affairs. What is happening now is just chaos and blame game.Actually, the whole world don't understand you SAns,because you decided not to interfere,your reputation as a nation have been tarnished.

The idea of not interfering doesn't work.What works is trying to interfere wisely.Yes,poking your nose smartly.That's why we interfered when apartheid was ruling SA,if we couldn't, more souls were going to perish.That's why even now,we still talk when we see some stuff don't go well in SA.We do that to avert hosting for the second time SA refugees as we did during apartheid. The same way we do to Kenya.We always teach them to end tribalism.If we don't do that,they might fight again,and we might end up hosting them again as refugees.
That's why we trained Kagame to go and take over in Rwanda so that he can use TZ systems to end tribalism and insecurity. As you can see,our boy is doing wonders in Rwanda

Danielnino00:
I hope u aren't trying to mock us because of covid-19?
Your government have allowed hundreds of Chinese migrants into your country until today.. there's no knowning where the virus will hit next..
If it hits Kenya,u think the rest of us will mock you ?

tylann:
Nothing will happen we will create another Nairobi
Lagos handles most of Nigeria exports and imports including oil so if we take out Lagos
Everbodys know what will happen

Danielnino00:
Something is wrong with you upstair...
U claimed that Kenya no longer receives foreign aid and I posted links to prove you wrong.. I posted a link that said Russia was sending you food aid...and u are saying something else...
I've always known u to be a coward anyway...

And for the last time,it's only north eastern Nigeria that's receiving aid from the UN due to Boko Haram insurgency.. northern Kenya has been receiving aid for as far back as independence... U are one of the largest aid receivers in the world !

Osimhen doesn’t have shitty team mates ,I see when people talk am but I no just wan argue

Or isn’t it the same Lille that came second last season without victor ?

But victor is Lille best player sha ,I won’t lie

As much as I love victor I had to admit that he doesn’t have shitty team mates

Is it not here that someone said that Villarreal is not playing to chuks strength as if chuks is Messi ,chuks is one of their best player but not their best so how can they play to his strength? Or is carzola and co not there ?

I said chuks is overrated by peeps here and that got almost all of them angry ,some even change am for my head saying I said he is overrated generally ,overrated by people here and not by the media ,I said what I said

If you are comming for me come with good point and don’t twist things

andrewbaba44:
I don’t really rate hazard the shaku shaku master

Even mousa Marega got more champions league goal than hazard

Icon4s:
Bukayo Saka is a natural winger and only a make-shift wingback. There is nothing wrong in we adding him to our pool of wingers. His stocks are rising and for a boy who just turned 18 last September and already contributing so much to a top EPL team like Arsenal....Nothing wrong in he competing for a place with likes of Simon, Kalu, Musa and Chukwueze. We need competition in various positions in the team and here it is.
