Hezron Lorraine: Chris u are one hell of a sarcastic dude.u know how to drop the lines.Lovely. Special mention for CraigB as always. Which Naai-gerian could ever ignore CraigB? Feeding it to the losers of Logoz. Good on you! You've realised the Seleka angle is played out, for that's all that Naa-geria has. Naai-geria's attempts to post pictures have produced the hideous Igirigi and nothing more.  @Thiza is still here. 500 pages later. Naai-geria has nothing. No wonder the envy. Even a casual visitor to the thread agrees that it's clearly SA and Egypt. Even the UN dismisses Naai-geria, based on your own suicidal argument.  |

chrissy365: mr monkey brain. you are the one that has just shown how criminalization has rocked the brains of SMELL AFRICANS. brainless boy that is so desperate to deliver emptiness of his fiddle mind.  Love it.So cut- up you've resorted to a comment that's one percent intellect and 99% foaming in the mouth.Whoever said you're sarcastic is a joke. Sarcasm is an art. Sarcasm and empty crudeness are two different things. Not that you'd know the difference. You're Naai-gerian after all. What could you possibly know? When you've decided you'll read before you openinf uoue mouth, you can try again. Give us thought-out comments. Don't just spread your vocal tentacles over a conversation you clearly haven't even read. Otherwise, feel free to prove yet again that you're the real imbecil* around here. You've even become a predictable parrot. No substance.To think that you really believe your vomit is working . If I was st*pid, I wouldn't have every single Naai-gerian that's here want to respond to me. You being the most cut-up. Even people leaving the thread mention CraigB. Pull the other one, dude. Your jungle noises are a waste of energy. You'll forever notice me I did say Naai-gerians know nothing about democracy. The one percent of your comment that's not a disaster proves it. "Intelligent" Naai-gerians! Yeah, right. Clover-Denone might to better. You're a time waster. |

Donian007: @CraigB, Please do me a favour and address the comparism made in this post with Mexican Military fighting the drug cartels, Chechnya rebels vs Russian Army, China has deployed fighter jets to watch the Tibetans, etc. Please what do you think about these?As I've come to expect from Clover-Danone and the rest of the Naai-gerians: lots of idi*tic questions asked with all the seriousness of respectable enquiry Not too long ago, we challenged you on your president's having hijacked your military colours. We said that you know nothing about being a democracy. You cried: "Oh! We are Naai-geria! We do it our own way." We left you alone to live in your fo*ol's paradise. We then told you about our military training academies and argued that the US have a similar setup. You cried: "Oh, just because the US does it like you doesn't make your academies good." We left you alone there, as well - so you could bake in the heat of your imbec*ile ways. Now lo and behold - you want to be compared to other countries?! All of a sudden! Ok, spineless invertebrates, let's see: Which of the countries that you've listed have a healthy democracy? Feel free to refer to the democracy index. Democracy and separation of powers - you wouldn't know anything about that. You're from the ghetto that's Naai-geria. Mexico has a long history of using their military internally. As it turns out, they suffer the same ills that Naai-gerians suffer - useless police and useless special forces. Here: read it and weep. You've just buttressed my argument. And don't be shy to look at what's being said about the Mexican constitution. -----> http://blog.chron.com/bakerblog/2013/06/why-mexicos-military-is-fighting-the-countrys-drug-war/ Oh! How about this? "As long as the Mexican government is unable to strengthen the police and the courts and protect them against the powerful ability of organized crime to corrupt or intimidate, it will continue to rely on its armed forces. The military has been and will continue to be deployed by necessity, regardless of the campaign promises or rhetoric of the sitting president. The Peña administration may aggressively attempt to control information about the use of the military; it may de-emphasize the use of the military in its public statements. But the Peña administration, like the Calderón administration before it, does not have an alternative." Sounds like Naai-geria, doesn't it? The exact same argument made by your very Naai-gerian Daily Trust The people of Tibet view China's presence as an occupation. The people of Chechnya view Russia's presence as an occupation. On the democracy index, both China and Russia are authoritarian or thereabouts. Is this what the already useless Naai-geria aspires to? You people have a strange way of showing your intelligence. 1 Like |

A fake MBA who comes from a country that doesn't publish its military magazine electronically format - in 2013. A country the government website of which was useless up until a few months ago.

sambos994: You are right about Egypt. But SA military lately has become something of a joke. Sending 200 men with no air support to "no man's land" (CAR) and expecting them to defeat the Seleka rebels is what no sane military would do.You've just sold the whole Naai-gerian argument for two pence. Clearly you admit that 200 men could not have been expected to defeat the rebels. AndrewZA will say "I told you so." Thank you for that. If you knew anything about why the SANDF was in CAR you'd know that your comment is enough to close the thread. The SANDF's mission in CAR was to train Bozize's men. Not to defeat rebels. Your just killed everything Naai-gerians have been trying to say. That we killed hundreds of rebels is then awesome, given your comment, don't you think? Naai-gerian jealousy causes them to spin and kill their own arguments Even your fake researcher still struggles to argue with a straight face that Naai-geria ranks above SA. He knows he'd be laughed at and dismissed. You are the joke. 2 Likes |

chrissy365: why didn't you send your special task force to CAR to battle seleka or DRCSouth Africa isn't Naai-geria, where ghetto decisions are made. Special tasks force means just that - special.

As well-stated as ever by the Daily Trust >>>> ___ http://dailytrust.info/index.php/editorial/1131-overstretching-the-military-in-peace-time Admittedly, this foray of the military into civil duties may have been forced on it by the inability of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to effectively discharge its duty of combating emerging security challenges that threaten to overwhelm the country. 1 Like |

Anyway, pull the other one re: your police. ___ http://dailytrust.info/index.php/editorial/1131-overstretching-the-military-in-peace-time Admittedly, this foray of the military into civil duties may have been forced on it by the inability of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to effectively discharge its duty of combating emerging security challenges that threaten to overwhelm the country. Had the NPF been properly inclined through proper staffing and funding, to challenge and defeat these forces seeking to undermine the wellbeing of the state, there would have been no cause to draft the military into the fray. The inadequacies of the police are therefore threatening to jeopardise the efficiency of other security arms. This must not be allowed to go on for too long. The immediate action to take is to embark on a phased withdrawal of soldiers from civil duties, particularly those mounting sentry at checkpoints. This programmed plan to return the soldiers to their traditional role should be pursued side by side with the enablement and empowerment of the police to be in a strong enough position to take over complete responsibility of maintaining order. This will entail proper training of new entrants and the rank and file in all aspects of policing. In addition, paucity of equipment, including appropriate weapons in civil and armed uprisings, has bedevilled the ability of the police to do their duty effectively. It is important for them to be provided with adequate wherewithal for optimum performance. |

http://dailytrust.info/index.php/editorial/1131-overstretching-the-military-in-peace-time OVERSTRETCHING THE MILITARY IN PEACE TIME Category: Editorial Published on Friday, 19 July 2013 06:00 Written by . Hits: 592 The National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki at a civil-military dialogue recently in Abuja, drew attention to the awkward situation of soldiers being deployed to internal security duties in many parts of the country. Soldiers are involved in such duties in 28 states. They are presently battling insurgency and terrorism, other various forms of criminal conduct that have heightened security demand, making its personnel to see more deployment in aid of civil authority than is healthy for the nation in the long run. Dasuki noted that it was not the duty of the military to handle internal security operations. While it is the function of the military to assist civilian authority to handle civil disobedience, it is assumed that such rules would be carried out only when the capacity of the police is inadequate to quell the crisis, he argued. Policing the domestic arena should not be the duty of the military whose training is directed at combating external aggression, he said. By giving expression to the ubiquitous presence of soldiers who, indeed should rarely be seen in public in such numbers in peacetime, the national security adviser has hit on a very disturbing trend. These days, commuters are more likely to encounter soldiers, rather than policemen, manning checkpoints on highways. Similarly, they are also now being detailed to guard residences and offices of politicians, duties that should not ever be part of their brief. This abnormal development has created the fear that soon an institution that prides itself as the guardian of the territorial integrity of the state would soon be compromised, because its normally high standards of training and discipline are jettisoned. Indeed, this is already happening, as most motorists tell tales of soldiers who openly seek favours from them at checkpoints on the many thoroughfares across the country. Certainly, favour-seeking or extortion on the part of soldiers is a despicable and unacceptable attitude. However, this pales into insignificance when the overall damaging impact of such soldiers’ conduct on discipline and professionalism is considered. It is so serious that bribe-taking soldiers and others that have committed other misdemeanours are now being taken to court on a regular basis. This is a poignant and salient point particularly with a number of Nigerian soldiers on peacekeeping duties, and too much emphasis being put on deploying a greater number of those at home to civil duties. Admittedly, this foray of the military into civil duties may have been forced on it by the inability of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to effectively discharge its duty of combating emerging security challenges that threaten to overwhelm the country. Had the NPF been properly inclined through proper staffing and funding, to challenge and defeat these forces seeking to undermine the wellbeing of the state, there would have been no cause to draft the military into the fray. The inadequacies of the police are therefore threatening to jeopardise the efficiency of other security arms. This must not be allowed to go on for too long.

Donian007: Please do us a favour and answer this: 1. WHAT MISSION DID WE AGREE TO AND ARE LATER PULLING OUT(BE SPECIFIC)? 2. GIVE THE NAME OF THE NIGERIAN OFFICIAL THAT GAVE THAT OFFICIAL REASON(NOT SPECULATIONS)Why is it relevant? It changes the fact that you withdrew because of boko haram how? It doesn't matter. Totally pointless. Unless you have a clear line of argument which negates what your government has said? I've posted the name already. Go back to my post with the big font. I won't dig it up for you.

Donian007: Little wonder you have been making senseless posts. I understand you ignorance. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE: Nigeria has never made any pledge to be part of MINUSMA(UN), Nigeria went to Mali as AFISMA(ECOWAS) not MINUSMA(UN), MINUSMA was newly formed. UN has decided that AFISMA and France who are PEACE ENFORCERS are done, so a PEACE KEEPING OPERATION is now needed, hence AFISMA is over. All AFISMA nations now have the choice to either pull out or stay put.This explanation/rant of yours is relevant, how? It advances the debate, how? Naai-gerians love taking confusion that they are battling with inside their own minds and making it everyone's problem. Where on earth was it stated that you didn't pull out freely? Of course you did. Pulling out freely and success aren't necessarily correlated. You failed in your mission. You had volunteered for a mission. You submitted to a mission of nations and then you failed to stay the course. Simple. Now, at the end of the day, all your arguments about withdrawing in protest have fallen away because your government has denied this. You all lied. You withdrew because you were overstretched. This is the only official position. Your troops are needed back home. The stuff about being ill treated was smoke and mirrors. So keep your rant. It's not needed around these parts. |

Not a Naai-gerian mission. You volunteered your men and your weapons freely. No one forced you to be part of the mission. Yours is a convenient excuse. You needed your men because you bit off more that you could chew. And don't tell us about your airforce. Below is an extract from the facebook page of your airforce: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nigerian-Airforce/111862008833532# The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is the air arm of the Nigerian Armed Forces. It is one of the largest in West Africa, consisting of about 10,000 personnel and aircraft including 15 Chinese Chengdu F-7s, and 24 Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jets, armed helicopters, and military transport aircraft. However, in recent years many of them are no longer airworthy. Previous combat aircraft, including 32 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21s, Sepecat Jaguars, and Russian made bombers have been withdrawn from use. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) says the force has 'very limited operational capability'.(IISS 2009) |
