Shekau is dead. Let's see the video and you will find either an imposter, or a voiceover with old footage of him. The claims also make me laugh reading the articles

Shekau is dead - says who?

Say Naai-gerian propagandists?

Even if he were dead...big deal! Boko Haram is still able to capture your soldiers' wives and children today.

So, in the end, Shekau's dreams and desires are happily being given effect to by Boko haram and you military can't stop it.

rka1:

His IQ is very low apparently. Just look back at his postings.

Oh I absolutely love it!

So hurt are the Naai-gerians their only answer is "low IQ".

Well, "low IQ" and "in African"
Won't change the evidence in the form of pictures.

The bumbling idîots of Naai-geria's unprofessional, ill-disciplined military torturing suspects.

Naai-gerians are busy pointing fingers at South Sudan, as if they aren't part of the problem themselves.

The irony!

I'd find it extremely funny if it weren't so sad. How ridiculous are the Naai-gerians!

Pope prays for civilians killed in Nigeria, Syria, South Sudan

http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/lead-stories/item/29460-pope-prays-for-civilians-killed-in-nigeria,-syria,-south-sudan.html


Christmas Day message to pray for peace in troubled regions of the world, specifically asking God to have mercy on civilians killed in Nigeria.

The 77-year-old pontiff, elected to replace the retired Pope Benedict in March, who spoke on Wednesday to an estimated 150,000 Catholics from the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, also called for social harmony in South Sudan, where thousands were reportedly killed in recent ethnic violence.
In his first “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and world) message, delivered to tens of thousands of faithful in St Peter’s Square, he also urged an end to the ongoing conflicts in Iraq, Syria, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He prayed that Israelis and Palestinians find peace together in the land where they have chosen to come into the world.

The unprofessional, ill-disciplined military of Naai-geria destroys villages in its revenge-fueled pursuit of the attackers of their barracks and kidnappers of the soldiers' wives and children.

Refusing to learn that revenge is better than cure, now the soldiers vent their anger and frustration on defenceless civilians.

Rubbish military, this.

Villages destroyed, civilians killed as troops chase Islamists – Witnesses


KANO (AFP) – A military offensive in northeast Nigeria that killed more than 50 Islamist rebels [allegedly] has destroyed four villages and left corpses scattered in bushes, with some civilians among the dead, witnesses said Tuesday.

The defence ministry has said the operation was launched in response to an attack Friday by Boko Haram insurgents on an army barracks in the town of Bama in Borno state, the epicentre of the Islamist conflict.

Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade identified those killed as “terrorists.”

Residents told AFP that an unknown number of civilians also lost their lives as the military bombarded the fleeing rebels. While they reported finding scores of charred bodies in the area, many were thought to be those of Boko Haram fighters.

Area resident Karim Bunu told AFP the military onslaught “completely burnt down four villages,” specifically listing Awaram, Ali-Ali, Suwabara and Kashimri, all in Borno state.

“Civilians from the affected villages,” were among those killed, he said.

“We have never seen so much death,” added a tribal chief in the area, who asked that his name be withheld. “The bushes are littered with decomposing bodies.”

Bunu, the local chief and other residents said much of the destruction was caused by bombs dropped by fighter jets. Locals are collecting bodies and digging graves for those killed, residents added.

In a Monday statement on the operation, Olukolade said that “a good number of the insurgents escaped with bullet wounds while some have been arrested. Over 50 of them died in the course of exchange of fire with ground troops.”

Fifteen soldiers were killed during the Boko Haram raid on the barracks and “during the pursuit” of the insurgents, according to Olukolade.

The defence spokesman gave no indication that the military response caused large-scale property destruction or cost civilian lives.

Nigeria’s military has been accused of using scorched-earth tactics in campaigns against Boko Haram and not distinguishing between civilian and insurgent targets. Such accusations have however been typically denied.

The usual propaganda from a failing mission.

Dead are the cries of "Seleka!"

Laughed too early, they did. The useless Naai-gerians.

The military cannot even protect its own women and children. Let alone its barracks.

Nigeria: We Lost 15 Soldiers to Boko Haram Attack - Defence Hqtrs

chris365:

This is the reason why you are considered an 1diot on this thread. Stup1d ignoramus.

Who ever said Africa was a country? And if the conflicts in any country on the continent cannot affect us all,

What I am on this thread is a pain in the backside of angry, but brainless Naai-gerians like you.

Since when is "affect" similar to "shame"?

And when did the raging conflict in Naai-geria today ever shame South Africa, or Namibia or Mauritius or Lesotho?

On what grounds should a person from Botswana be ashamed that Naai-gerians are slaughtering each other like pigs today?

No amount of anger will help you pluck non-existent intelligence from a tree. Stüpid is as stûpid does

Oh, wait! The "West" views Africa as one, so that's it. Clever.

We walk among idîots.

Nigeria27:

most people in the frist world regard africa as a single country

There you go! Naai-geria's famous inferiority complex has taken over.

So, what matters is what people in "the first world" think?

Since when was Germany ever ashamed by what Turkey does or has done?

I won't even bother too much about Chris, the angry Naai-gerian who thinks through the small of his brain.

Naai-gerians think the world cares about this chip of "blackness" on their shoulder. No one cares. Southern Sudan is Southern Sudan. It's not Africa.

SA choppers sent in to help retake DRC town
2013-12-25 22:01
Displaced in DRC

Kinshasa - A special UN force in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo used helicopters on Wednesday to fire on Ugandan rebels and help government troops retake the town of Kamango after an attack that killed civilians.

"South African helicopters in the UN intervention force were asked by FARDC (the DR Congo army) to give them support to recapture Kamango," said a senior officer with the UN mission to DR Congo (Monusco), who declined to be identified by name.

"We have already taken back Kamango," said Lieutenant Colonel Olivier Amuli, a FARDC army spokesperson in North-Kivu province, the mineral-rich but volatile region plagued by a number of armed groups.

Amuli admitted that at the time of the attack on Kamango the Congolese forces "withdrew because they were outnumbered".

The rebel attack took place before dawn, said Teddy Kataliko, head of the civil society in the Beni region where Kamango is located.

Neither Kataliko nor the Monusco officer could confirm to AFP the retaking of the town.

The civil organisation blamed the initial attack on the Islamist Ugandan rebel group ADF-Nalu in collaboration with Uganda's army. It is one of the oldest but least-known armed groups based in eastern DR Congo.

"We have 10 people kidnapped, 11 civilians and five soldiers wounded, and several civilians killed, as well as homes burned, by the attackers," Kataliko earlier told AFP.

Fear massacre

He also said the attackers were "now heading towards the town of Nobili", on the Congolese-Ugandan border, where more than 150 000 people have taken refuge from the fighting.

"We believe there is the risk of a massacre and that's why we are asking to establish a humanitarian corridor," he said, making an appeal to the government to come to the aid of those people.

Kataliko said that those fleeing the fighting would not be able to cross the border into Uganda, which was closed.

ADF-Nalu stands for Allied Democratic Forces-National Army for the Liberation of Uganda and is considered the only Islamist organisation in the region.

In July the Congolese army battled the ADF-Nalu rebels to take control of the Kamango region, but the fighting had sent tens of thousands of people fleeing for safety in neighbouring Uganda.

Monusco reported that at least 21 people were killed last week with "extreme brutality" in the Beni region. The UN did not identify the assailants, but again local civil groups pointed to the Ugandan rebels.

Radicals

The rebels are led by Jamil Mukulu, a Christian convert to Islam, and has never really managed to take its fight against President Yoweri Museveni's regime to Uganda.

Some observers have voiced concern that ADF-Nalu could become a link in the growing network of radical Islamist groups in East Africa.

Monusco's mission in DR Congo is made up of around 3 000 troops from South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi. Its peacekeepers have been specially authorised to go after armed groups ravaging DR Congo.

The mission helped bring down the M23 rebel movement last month, which was suspected of receiving support from Rwanda and Uganda, something both countries deny.

And your comments about this operation not affecting the economy - accept that you are a short-sighted ignoramus.

Fighter Pilot:

You care more about economy than the victims who are law abiding citizens of Nigeria and yet continue to lose their lives for nothing. It doesnt matter if is affecting 3 states in Nigeria or not, but still it is happenning in Nigeria.

Never mind the total stûpidity of his comment. This war against terror is funded by aliens from outer space, then?

And the total leadership time that continues to be spent managing this fiasco is nothing to worry about?

Naai-gerians are "smart".

NaijaPikinGidi: And an infantile CrazePig for want of something to say is only able to express more of his chronic stupidity? Sadly he and his dumb FighterPilot know nothing about Satellites. They fail to understand that making spurious and silly points seriously exposes their porous nyash! Nigeria's Satellites are doing their rounds in orbit and are fully functioning, controlled and manned from our ground control station. Ask or beg nicely to get a piece of our satellite's functionality/action and we may site the gateway to fulfill SA's satellite cravings!

More useless noise. No evidence. As expected.

Fighter Pilot:

My friend this is really not a joke anymore. I have also seen that on the news. The second most powerful military in Africa (source: Agaugust's rankings) have really suffered a collateral damage at the hands of insugents. They have had several soldiers killed and their wives and children kidnapped, probably even r.aped as we speak, but the army is keeping mum about the whole ordeal. There is indeed a serious problem going on in that country of denial.

They should simply ask for help.

Their military leadership doesn't even know whether they want to be politicians or military men. Jonathan has all but accepted that the violence has escalated.

This is where the useless Naai-gerian military personnel gave up their wives and children to Boko Haram.

It doesn't get more pathetic than this.

NaijaPikinGidi: Stupid boy! I was even hoping you'd be talking about satelite relay and base stations being located in SA but here you are talking your kak about servers! You well at all? Look up Main One, Glo-1, WACS and SAT3 landing points/gateways. Stop fooling around.

Don't give us useless noise. I won't be looking anything up. Show us the healthy gateway in Northern Naai-geria. Failing that, your very existence is a big, washout waste.

NaijaPikinGidi:

I can authoritatively guarantee a kid like you that there is no such gateway in South Africa. The onus to prove me wrong resides with your willingness to tell us where in SA it is located. There is a difference between submarine fibre optic cable landing points/gateways and satellite communication gateway! There are many submarine fibre optics cable landing points and gateways across Africa's coastline also landing in Europe and Asia.

Please prove me wrong, otherwise remain with comments above and below:



Take your time to read the above excerpt from your shared link.

And I can guarantee you that there's no such functional or healthy gateway in Northern Naai-geria either.

The point of the post was to explain how satellites work - and the fact that South Africa and the other locations had been considered is enough.

souldust:

is Northern Nigeria different from Nigeria?

"South Africa , China, Italy and Northern Nigeria", said the article. And there won't be any meaningful work in Northern Naai-geria this decade. Not with the Naai-gerian military's dismal stuff-up of its operation, there.

The uselessness of the Naai-gerian military. Now, this loser military has outdone itself.

Boko Haram kidnaps soldiers’ wives, children in Borno

The army on Saturday launched a manhunt in Abbaram, Borno State, for suspected fighters of the Boko Haram sect, who had reportedly kidnapped soldiers’ wives and children during the Friday attack on an army barracks nearby town of Bama.

The suspected Boko Haram fighters had stormed the barracks in the town of Bama early on Friday, spraying it with bullets before torching the compound.

Agence France Presse reports that several Bama residents said the Boko Haram gunmen fled to the nearby village of Abbaram after the attack, where the military sent hundreds of troops on Saturday.

Cry us a river, Naai-gerians!

I'm sure you received a thank-you letter in the post for whatever role you played, alongside other nations.

You're upset because you were not allowed to he ogas at the funeral. And what's this moaner-in-chief rubbish? What a disgusting culture!

You want to be chief ogas even during bereavement? Bloody ogres.

Go and show love to your own brothers on Naai-geria before you cry for love from others. Learn to value yourselves, you losers. Build a proper government before you look to others, you cowards.

When will you fight for yourselves?

KZN teen takes BMW Asia Cup title
2013-12-13 09:34

DURBAN - KZN teen Matthew Swanepoel flew to Malaysia a week ago having just finished his school career and with only one thing in mind – the 2013 Formula BMW Asia Cup championship.

He started the season with a first-round retirement and had to play catch-up to fellow South African Shayur Harpal, who took the first race win of the season and remained in the lead going into the last week of the championship.

This past week - Super Six week - has been a true test of mental and physical ability... sis races in five days, including practice and qualifying. A real test of one’s mettle.

SET FOR A SHOWDOWN

Swanepoel set his strategy: one race at a time, despite torrential rain for some of the events.

The first three producing a podium finishes that set him up for a showdown with another South African – 2012 Champion Aston Hare who was on pace and taking wins.

Swanepoel dug deep for the next three races... Race 4: win. Race 5: win. They put him into the championship lead and it was all down to the final race.

He was running in a strong top three when contact was made and his car spun off but he rejoined in 11th. By the flag he was back up to seventh - was that good enough?

Once the dust had settled, the maths done, Matthew Swanepoel was the 2013 Formula BMW Asia Cup champion.

He said later: “I still can’t believe it. I thought for sure seventh in the last race was not enough. I never factored where the others finished.

"It’s a fantastic feeling. I've learned so much this season after starting on the back foot. The top step - what an awesome feeling!”

Gold!

Goud!

Chevron South Africa wins gold for CSI excellence

Thursday, 05 December 2013
Chevron South Africa, the leading refiner and marketer of Caltex fuel and lubricant products celebrated its win at the annual American Chamber of Commerce Thanksgiving and Awards evening which recently took place at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. Chevron was awarded gold in the health and wellness category for its outstanding Corporate Social Investment (CSI) partnership with the Intervention with Micro Finance for AIDS and Gender Equity (IMAGE) programme.

“The IMAGE programme is very dear to our hearts and we are thrilled to be acknowledged for this particular CSI initiative. As we are currently honouring the national 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign in South Africa, we are extremely proud to be associated with the IMAGE programme as it embodies the activism campaign and assists in changing women’s lives for the better, daily,” says Nobuzwe Mbuyisa, Chairperson of Chevron South Africa.

IMAGE, a community based economic, HIV and gender-based violence prevention programme is designed to reach disadvantaged women and their households. The programme aims to improve women’s economic wellbeing and independence, combining group-based microfinance with gender and a HIV training curriculum called Sisters For Life (SFL) to reduce their vulnerability to intimate partner violence, which is an independent driver of HIV.

Every second year the American Chamber of Commerce present awards for excellence related to CSI programmes. Judging criteria for the awards include the CSI programmes’ achievement of objectives, effectiveness and impact, sustainability, innovation and creativity as well as overall impression.

Chevron recently announced it’s ongoing partnership with the IMAGE programme at a celebration event in Hammanskraal in Northern Gauteng. The event highlighted the project’s success to date in empowering women in the large rural communities of Hammanskraal and Mabopane, which are recognised as previously disadvantaged areas.

Partnering organisations of the IMAGE programme include; United States Aid for International Development (USAID), Wits Health Consortium (WHC) and the Small Enterprise Foundation (SEF).

“The real winner is Lufuno Muvhango, IMAGE Project Director and her inspiring team who touches the lives of so many women on a daily basis. Chevron has partnered with the IMAGE programme since 2011 and we’ve witnessed the remarkable work and progress that is happening within these communities,” says Mbuyisa.

Mbuyisa adds, “It is very encouraging to see such a successful programme that is so professional and well-managed.”

The three core focus areas for Chevron’s social investment strategy include economic development, health and education, and the IMAGE programme encapsulates all three elements. “Initiatives such as the IMAGE programme truly highlights the importance and effectiveness of partnerships and alignment between South African NGO’s, communities and the public and private sector,” concludes Mbuyisa.

Every second year the American Chamber of Commerce awards select members for excellence related to CSI programmes. These awards are open to all members of the American Chamber of Commerce. A survey conducted with 69 of its members revealed that American companies spent approx R445 million on CSI in 2012 in South Africa alone.

Monkey noises go here.

I particularly love this bit:

"The farmers operations were hailed as a major success but the locals say they have not been part of that success. The farmers were, for example, supposed to train local youths in modern farming methods but “the youths are still carrying hoes and cutlasses” eight years down the line.

Chief Ndanusa also complained that the white farmers were acting like a colonial force, treating local villagers with little respect and “showing routine contempt for our customs”."



Blek luuuurve.
