GidiNaijaPikin: Pray that your future child doesn't grow up someday to call you a child!!

Word of wisdom little boy!!
We are yet you see even a single iota of wisdom coming from your side. You keep crying for South Africans to love you. In every thread that you visit, whether as All4Naija or Naai-jaPigoon. You keep singing the same song. One would swear that South Africans have an obligation to love you.

Begging and pleading for love.

Tumisang: Does MAJORITY mean ALL in nigerian English? The only reason you've been jumping around liked a crazed monkey over this topic for two days straight is cause the one you're with fits our description! It doesn't matter how hard you try to twist our comments. Fact is, you lot would rather date, marry and procreate with SAn women despite their backgrounds than with your fugly nigerian women.

If our women truely loved you mofos, they would give your kids nigerian names, they would insist that you teach your kids your languages, they wouldn't hesitate to move permanently to nigeria...but instead they opt to only visit nigeria during xmas holidays...while all year round they're South Africanizing. your arsses to a point where you end up calling yourselves South African - Nigerians. Talk about dominance. Shame!

We all know that being with a SA woman is some sort of an achievement to you numpties. Just be happy with what you got.

Lol...you wouldn't. be a true nigerian if you didn't join the xenophobia chorus. So go on bobbe, sing your lungs out!
Never has a truer word been spoken.

The words hit far closer to home than the Naai-gerian idi*t would wish.

GidiNaijaPikin: You are better-off in your deserved place!! While there, look into your broken mirror while repeating your comments above to yourself!! Silly boy grin grin grin grin grin grin
A deserved place that you can't describe. Your comments are empty.

You are a child. Half-polished by South Africa. Now you think you know something. You're still Naai-gerian. And your time in Hillbrow won't change that. What could you possibly have to say to a South African?

Msauza: Chief, don't twist the facts. We haven't made any mention of that calibre of stigmatising women of South Africa in general. We have only said that of all SA women married to Nigerians majority happened to have history of sordid relationships or either hookers on the streets of Johannesburg. Poor Nigerians do not know their background, but we do and that's why we do not find them attractive.
It's an "African Jimmy comes to Joburg" scenario.

2smooth2shout: grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
stop making me repeat myself here. i already made the comparison. if your are too stip1d to read and understand, it's not my fault.
is the special task whatever not a special operations element of the south african police service? and if an army is said to be inefficient, wont it also affect it's special forces?
guy whats wrong with your head.

i didn't ask for your special task force achievements but your comrades threw it at my face and i compared. so far no one has had the courage to challenge my comparison but as usual you people keep digressing. dumda*ss mudafvckers tongue
Don't blame the reader if you can't write coherently. Your preceding comment, where you got all worked up shows clearly that you're trying to prove the special task force as being incompetent.

Special task force members and operations have featured zero times in the civil claims listed. Zero times. If you don't know how the special task force operates, ask.

Given the above, how do the civil claims show that the special task force is incompetent? Zero times, they featured in the civil claims. Zero!

2smooth2shout: i knew that conversation would be too hard for your coconut head to comprehend. grin so let me help you.

you friend shifted my post to nigerians not being able to win any case against police brutality and government. and being that i never defended Nigerian police brutality anywhere, i posted proof of police being sued and compensations awarded by Nigerian courts against the government and police.

now do you get it? i never shifted from my main argument nor did i ever praise the NPF (quote me where i did), but your dull comrades were here full of praises for yours and condemned our democracy so i responded.

my God, what kind of education do you people get in those schools of yours.
He did not shift his argument. He stayed on his path. His argument has been the same throughout. Yours hasn't been. You keep jumping up and down.

You were stup1d enough to make a concession that was devastating to your whole stance. In your overzealousness, you killed your own argument.

And now you are killing it even further by telling us that it is our special task force that you actually are trying to prove as being incompetent.

So how does your story of general police naughtiness translate to the special task force being incompetent?

You do realise what the special task force is, don't you?

You are pathetic, Miss Smooth.

In fact, don't come to Joburg. Stay right were you are. You'll dum* us down.

2smooth2shout: why are south africans this hypocritical? it's so disgusting. angry

was it not Nigerians that were giving this same sermon you just preached? now that you've been discovered and exposed of how incompetent your well equipped police are you want to back down. i won't stop making noise about it cos it was your people that came here with there special task force being professional and police.

if CraigBiatch doesn't shut his ignorant mouth about nigeria democracy, i will exposed south african structure as well.
Go to bed, Miss Smooth. Your argument is as convoluted as Naai-gerian thinking.

You don't know what you want you criticise and praise. You've put up examples of your own Naai-gerian non-professionalism.

Why did you do that, loser? Looking at your emotions and lack of logic, you definitely should come to Joburg to enjoy gay freedom. grin

South Africa's argument hasn't changed.

Yours keeps shifting between pathetic and hapless. Why did you put up examples of your cops being sued?

Please also give us examples of our special task force being sued! There'll be none! Loser. Caught in in your own weak process of thought.

zetdee: Lol.. Xenophobic for stating the truth.. I'm sure there are decent women who marry naijans, but the majority are prostitutes and not marriage material.
There's one Naai-gerian loser who was played by a South African woman. He decided to wage war against her on twitter.

You know how Naai-gerians are with their emotion-fuelled behaviour. He was bombarding her with tweets, for the whole world to see that he got used and discarded. @JacobJackLad is his twitter handle, I believe. He's started deleting his tweets because I think someone told him that he's being an idi*t.

grin
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB:
zetdee: Bwahahaha.. I'm certain that you're on a gay site this very moment, you're really obsessed with gays.
Perhaps he is gay himself, but because he can't exercise his rights in Naai-geria, he vents jealousy against South Africans!

You can come out of the closet, Miss Smooth! South Africans will embrace you. undecided (*Not embrace you "like that", but you know what I mean).

Consequently, Zetdee, you're wasting your time debating democracy with Naai-gerians. They don't grasp the concept. Looking at their political history and their current voting, as well as how they are treated by their leaders.

This is why we have imbec1les like Miss Smooth.

South Africa, a baby, is way ahead of them on the democracy index.

Naai-gerians are sheeple.

2smooth2shout: if you weren't so dumb and s.tupid yourself, you would understand that story is about SAPS unprofessional conducts and incompetence as a modern police force. your people connected it with a vibrant democracy and i challenged it cos that is not the purpose of that report. but as usual you are always in a hurry to post your rubbish.

Read the topic again before you come here displaying your s.tupidity.

Civil Claims Show the Cost of an Unprofessional Police Service

quotes
"These claims were as a result of wrongful arrests, corruption and negligent conduct but would also include claims for murder, rapes and other violent crimes by the police."

"We need a professional police service to catch violent criminals, not a trigger-happy police force that kills innocent civilians. The time for inaction is over. South Africa needs a plan to professionalise the SAPS, and it cannot be delayed any longer."

and why did you respond since time wasters don't need to be responded to? see your own S.TUPIDITY?

i see you been trying to get my attention since yesterday and i'm very sure you'll be happy to get it now.

taste it very well cos it will be the last. nothing reasonable ever comes from your head.
Too smooth to shout, but too reta*rded to choose an argument and stick with it. You put up examples of Naai-geria's own civil cases against cops. You closed your argument by saying: "I have shown that we (Naai-geria) have a healthy democracy.

Now all of a sudden, you shifted yet again. Your argument is now back to "non-professionalism". Decide what you want to argue and let us know, id*ot.

Our position hasn't changed. The story shows that we have a healthy democracy. It's a positive. Not a negative. There'll always be police that misbehave. And our citizens have a recourse against them. End of story. South Africa isn't a jungle. Loser!
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 2:29pm On Jul 28, 2013
2smooth2shout: and i just proved to you that our democracy is healthy. can you now see that your education is a waste?
This closing argument is just like South Africa's opening argument. This person is a time waster. Time wasters need to be shunned this Sunday morning. You challenged our statement that our cops' being sued shows a vibrant democracy and yet, you close with that exact same statement. Your whole argument is like ours. You have no clue what your unique stance on the issue is.

You are a Naai-gerian loser.

sambos994: Were you not the one that said BH is very much alive because of the video?

http://www.voanews.com/content/nigeria-offensive-islamist-bases-boko-haram-reu/1702228.html
I won't go into the link, because I'm sleepy, but yes - BH is alive and Abubaker keeps posting videos. He's free to do that and Naai-geria has no clue where Abubaker is and what he's planning next.

Unless you're a fo*ol, you can't say things will remain quite after you stop shooting. You've achieved nothing.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 7:13am On Jul 28, 2013
sambos994: Apparently he denied the school attacks...weird huh? Guess that makes your argument invalid

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/07/13/boko-haram-leader-supports-nigeria-school-massacre/
1. He voiced his support - meaning he's out there and he hasn't been muzzled.

2. He denied support for the truce that your government claimed. Meaning he's out there and free to push videos.

If anything, his denial of the school attacks makes things even worse for Naai-geria. It means there's another enemy gig have no knowledge of, isn't it? How can that be a good thing?!

How have you won against him. As soon as you recall your jets, what happens?

It's your argument that remains invalid. It worsens your situation, in fact. According to your argument, you're now battling Boko and some other unknown force. kiss

Goodnight sukkkaz.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 6:47am On Jul 28, 2013
sambos994: First off they were killing soft targets. Secondly, since you claim we are losing to BH, answer my question.
I refuse you answer your question. It's irrelevant.

In which case, you'll then have to show that my refusal means that you're winning. Which you can't do.

Boko lives. Last month's massacre proves it. Abubaker's videos prove it.

You aren't winning if Boko lives (among your contrymen, even).

So let's hear it. Let's hear you argue that my not answering your questions means that you've beaten Boko.

I'm going to bed, in the meantime.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 6:12am On Jul 28, 2013
sambos994: You fail to answer my question, when was the last time you hear of any bombing in Kano, Kaduna?
Sambooka, your question is irrelevant. I saw kids being killed in a school a month ago. They died. Whether deaths are by bombs or bullets is of no consequence. There are still terror killings in Naai-geria.

The BH leader is still out there saying stuff.

Irrelevant question.

most of them have nothing to offer this thread than to sniff around looking for how to become relevant by force grin

if i dont know military stuff, i can be a good observer learning from and enjoying what others post on this public forum, and chip in some useful comments once in a while. simple. why turn myself into a purposeless sniffer greyhound ? grin

Don't hijack Sambooka's post, Mr Seleka. 98% failure rate brain! Fake MBA, I needn't be a boxer to comment about boxing. You also know far less than you would have us believe.

You were caught in a lie as usual. It's clear your were trying to give the impression of an instantaneous or "live" conversation. Clearly this was meant to have been a lively exchange.

You wrote things "just as they" were supposedly said, apparently. So, why suddenly change "lol" to "laughter"?

No interview took place. You created words of fiction. It's only convenient to now say the discussion was by email because I challenged you. Only it's obvious that this could never have been the case.

You can't win this. You lied.

And I'm not so sure that you want to further lie and say that when military people send you emails in confidence, you make the contents public? Luckily, you made it all up and failed to fine-tune your lies.

Just admit there was no interview and be happy. What a disgrace of a man!

if you want to keep this thread clean, talk to your south african people who post nonsense here, like @craigB and @msauza who said nigerian made bomb detector is a toy for kids to play with.
Rubbish.

You've littered this thread with pictures of women that no one forced you to post.

You digress when you run out things to say and then you cry when you're outmanoeuvred.

Give us a break, will you? You're old but you behave like a preteen.

You aren't even smart enough to distinguish between a bomb detector and a bomb disposal robot. SMH.

We've posted pics of lots of South African products that you'll never ever have an answer to. Don't tell us about some toy bomb thing.

It's funny - I've been saying again and again that they all remind me of Okonkwo from "Things Fall Apart". And false pride and "saving face" is exactly the reason for that.

But what I find most amusing is when they think that they've said something really smart and they've "got you". You take one look at it and realise what you're dealing with: Naai-gerians who have their own warped sense of the world, who take pride in the most kindergarten of things.

[b]Africa’s top three airports rank higher than any airports in the USA

The World Airport Awards 2013 – recently released by Skytrax, a United Kingdom-based company specialising in airline and airport research – has ranked the top airports in the world, including those in Africa. The results show that South African airports take a considerable lead over other airports on the continent and, in some cases, the world. Airport 200x240

According to Skytrax, over 12 million passengers from more than 160 countries were surveyed. The survey looked at traveller experiences across 39 different categories – from the check-in process to airport shopping – and covers just under 400 airports.

Only three African airports made the global top 100 list and these were all from South Africa. These airports were placed highly across a number of categories, and all three improved in their global ranking from the previous year.

South African airports dominate the African rankings

South Africa’s Cape Town International Airport has been ranked as the top airport in Africa, and 22nd globally. This has been a five-point increase up the global rankings, from 27th place in 2012. Cape Town is also ranked as the best airport in the world in the category of airports with 5-10 million passengers per year. Interestingly, the airport is said to have the 6th best airport staff in the world, and the best in Africa.

Durban’s King Shaka International Airport in South Africa is rated as the second best airport on the continent. It is ranked in 26th position globally, a nine point increase up the rankings from 35th position in 2012. It is also placed as the best airport in the world for the category of airports with under five million passengers per year. In addition, King Shaka has the 2nd best airport staff in Africa, and it is rated as the best regional airport on the continent.

The third best ranked airport in Africa is Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport – positioned at 28th place globally, an improvement of three places from its 31st position in 2012. In the category for airports with 10-20 million passengers per year, OR Tambo is ranked as the 9th best airport in the world. InterContinental at OR Tambo Airport was ranked as the best airport hotel in Africa, with the Garden Court coming in at 3rd place.

These three South African airports all appeared in the top third of the global 100 list, beating well known airports such as the Dubai International Airport (33rd) and the Sydney Airport (31st). What is truly impressive is that all three South African airports were ranked higher than any American airport this year.

Other South African airports to make the list for the top 10 airports in Africa include the East London Airport, ranked 6th in Africa and 4th in terms of best airport staff on the continent. It is also ranked as the 2nd best regional airport in Africa.

South Africa’s Port Elizabeth Airport was ranked as the 8th best airport in Africa and 5th in terms of its airport staff. It was also ranked as the 3rd best regional airport on the continent.

Africa ranked

While only Cape Town, King Shaka and OR Tambo represented Africa in the rankings of the top 100 airports in the world, the survey did rate the top 10 African airports, which has only changed slightly from the previous year.

Egypt: The Cairo International Airport has been ranked as the 4th best airport in Africa, with the Novotel Cairo Airport being named the 2nd best airport hotel on the continent.

Mauritius: The Mauritius International Airport took the 5th position in Africa, with no change since the previous year.

The survey also rated regional airports in Africa. South Africa and North African countries, such as Morocco and Egypt, dominated this list.

LAST NIGHT ON EFC I WAS STANDING AND SHOUTING "FIGHT BACK MOTHERFUCKER" WHEN A nigerian coward was lying lika BITCH ON THE CANVASS WHILE A S.A. FIGHTER WAS ON TOP AND MOERING HIS SORRY ASS.

The commentator critisised this Naija Monkey's way of throwing punches/SLAPPING.

You're right intelligence isn't there in Naija. ITS JUST "WISHY WASHY" THOUGHTS. grin grin grin grin grin
Even the way they argue shows no intelligence. They just bark and bark all day. grin

Consequently, this is the same way they do politics. Have you noticed how they are always in arguments with other nations? When their brains stall (as they often do), aimless brawn takes over!

Donian007: Hmm! So I am now Clover-Denone? Anyways, I wasn't expecting more than this WASTE as a response, I'll address this foolishness of yours later.
Like I said, your question was idi*tic. So, you shouldn't be surprised at what you got back. Don't ask wasteful questions next time, clover-denone.
