Msauza: Bwahahahahaha!!!

Raised from the dead, reminds me how Jesus used to raise people from their graves.

Ghost NNS Thunder was brought back to life to scare us.

Who was it? Lazarus that was raised from the tomb?

It's the NNS Lazarus

A rubbish, dead piece of metal.

I quote:

Even though its coastal security functions were beefed up after 9/11, its aged and rusting high-seas fleet responsible for illegal migrant and drug interdiction (seizing more cocaine than all other government agencies combined), fisheries enforcement, icebreaking, oil spill response and more has been in a decades-long decline. One example: When a dozen Coast Guard Cutters were sent to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, 10 had serious maintenance problems, two of them needed emergency repairs and one had to be put into dry dock.

agaugust: dont use your head to think, keep waiting until america sends you a personal letter to say the words 'navy and coast guard helicopters' means every navy and coast guard helicopter.

in american engineering standards, law and technical government regulations, everything that carries weight, bridge, ship, haulage truck, is built to carry 2 to 4 times its normal recommended payload in case of any abnormal situation that may arise.

ships flight decks they did not teach you in south african navy, are built strong enough to carry 2 to 3 times the weight of its helicopter because of emergency landing force impact....only a foolish south african will build a ship's flight deck to withstand only a force of 10,000 kg/f because its helicopter weight is 10,000 kg. a normal engineer will build that flight deck to withstand a load of force of 20,000 kg/f or much more in case of emergency hard landing due to engine stall, damage to helicopter in flight, etc.

toyota corrola is built for 4 passengers, if 8 passengers seat inside it crammed together, the vehicle will still move, and that is a mere passenger car, not a haulage or lift platform that can get emergency force and hard/shock landing.

try get a bottle of common sense syrup, but i dont know which pharmacy sells it, so sorry i cannot help you.

stop misinforming people on this thread, Eritrean navy has no anti-ship missile. fact !

as i said, apart from nigeria, only 6 or 7 african navies have missiles, and i said egypt, algeria, libya, morocco, south africa and maybe 2 others...equitorial guinean navy missiles is still a rumour. angolan navy, yes P-15 termit missiles.

apart from those 6 to 7 countries, no other navy in africa can threaten nigerian navy NNS Thunder in battle. fact !

anyone that has photos of NNS Thunder with the so called 'rusted metal' can post the rust for us to see.....fools NNS Thunder is a 1968 ship, SAS Protea survey ship of south african navy is a 1972 ship only 4 years difference, and one of south african navy tug boats is a 1969 vessel, worst still, south african military maritime patrol Dakota aircraft is are second hand american donation aircraft built in the 1950's used by america tired and dry, then handed down second hand to south africa in 1966 when my father has not even see who my mother will be ! foolish south africans military still patrolling their own oceans with 1950 Dakota second hand rusted hand me down american gift aircraft...fools of soweto.

no where in the world is a 76 mm gun of a warship relied upon as anti-aircraft defence, and not all such gund have rate of fire like otobreda, most are far worse and weaker in capability and will never save a warship from aircraft attacks.

Swordfish naval aircraft with their slow speed of 224km/h slower than Hind helicopters, have been using air torpedoes and ordinary rockets to sink warships that have very heavy and multiple anti-aircraft defensive guns since 1940 second world war....fool

"In May 1941, a Swordfish strike from HMS Ark Royal was vital in damaging the German battleship Bismarck, preventing it from escaping to France. The low speed of the attacking aircraft may have acted in their favour, as the planes were too slow for the fire-control predictors of the German gunners, whose shells exploded so far in front of the aircraft that the threat of shrapnel damage was greatly diminished. At least some of the Swordfish flew so low that most of the Bismarck's flak weapons were unable to depress enough to hit them.[6] The Swordfish aircraft scored two hits; one did little damage, but the other jammed Bismarck's rudders with 15° port helm on,[7] making the warship unmanueverable; it sank after intense Royal Navy attack within 13 hours."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairey_Swordfish

now show me any war history where a ships main gun 76mm was used to shoot down any aircraft, i dont know of one in all the war history books i read....now show me one to prove your claim...show me

Mi-35 Hind helicopter has very many types of ordinary explosive rockets not anti-tank....google is your friend, one of them is S-8 rocket....

The S-8 is generally carried in the B series of rocket pods, carrying either seven or 20 rockets.

Leave us alone, with your yesterday's news and your abandoned, decommissioned and yesteryear's coast cutter, which is about as old as the grandfather of Zeus.

Please, Mr Seleka. No one cares what your rust-bucket could do at commissioning. It is now tired and was killed by the US. You decided to bring it from the graveyard and took it to your shipyard.

This thing will cough itself to death. Go buy a vessel.

Please.

Msauza: what achievements does Nigeria have? Your military has zero achievements.

You bloody sadist and f'aggot.

Hey! Abandoning a mission is a historical achievement!

zetdee: Nigerians, bunch of sadists, probably wishing the rebels victory.

Sadists?

Hahaha - more like schadenfreude!

agaugust: you were here on this thread when your fellow south africans like @msauza and @craigB, plus many others were praising and supporting B.oko H.aram bombing churches and killing innocent worshipers in nigeria...you did not write the above comment that time o ! fool !

Boko Haram are your own Naai-gerian brothers.

You are doing the killing all on your own.

Naai-gerian against Naai-gerian. You are the ones that are useless and we, spectators, simply pull out our popcorn and comment.

Leave us out of your tale of pity, idïot. We will continue to point out your uselessness and being incapacitated by your brother monkeys.

You've even lost your ability to sustain missions, thanks to your own brothers who are killing your soldiers.

We are out on a mission in foreign lands. No parallels.

chris365:

i guess you haven't seen white house down then? one ex special forces takes down a large, well trained and well armed terrorist group.

if that movie was made in africa it wont sell. but still the world never doubt's anything western

abeg leave americans with their film tricks and talk about your cowards fighting behind Tanzanian troops.

Yes, cowards who do the below?

What else can a person whose heroes are deserters say? No stories of bravery for you. Only stories of abandoned missions.

Mike..ZA:
A young SANDF sniper was surrounded by FARDC troops calling him "Kaptaine". After he sneaked 500m from a M23 camp and killed 6 rebels,they panicked and started firing mortars in all directions. He was injured,but he retreated and got treated back at base. Back at the frontline now. SANDF warriors are respected. Now if 500m is still showing that the SANDF afraid of rebels to you,then YOU'RE a "Hypocrite who knows nothing".

Here's your story of bravery. Heroic SANDF soldier. Treated and back in the frontline.

chris365: you are such a fool. you got knocked out in military debate and decide to descend to your usual low life. id1ot

so you mean to tell me you don't know your women also lead in the race?

Two recent studies by public health officials in South Africa and Nigeria reported an alarming number of women are using various bleaching creams on a regular basis to lighten their skin and appear more “attractive”.
http://politic365.com/2013/01/09/rise-in-skin-bleaching-in-africa-leads-to-increased-health-risks/

i won't be drawn to this kind of stupid1ty.

Don't be stûpid and you won't be drawn into it.

Now the meaning of "leading" has changed?

"Leading" had a different meaning when you were blabbing on about the DRC frontline.

Accept that your ugly women lead all nations and move on. Squrming and worming your way through stûpid valley.

Nigerian women lead in skin bleaching – WHO

on June 03, 2013 / in Health 9:13 pm / Comments

Tweet
By UDUMA KALU, WITH AGENCY REPORT

The World Health Organisation, WHO, has said 77 percent of women in Nigeria use skin-lightening products, the world’s highest percentage. The figure compares with 59 percent in Togo, and 27 percent in Senegal.

The WHO report said the reasons for this are varied but most people said they use skin-lighteners because they want “white skin”.

souldust: why then are there black faces every where in Naija you PIG!

Because Naai-ja over breeds. Numbers don't lie. Even your men indulge in "the practice" and bleach themselves to whiteness.

NaijaPikinGidi: This crazy kid keeps struggling for attention and airtime from me! Desperation must be his oxygen!

Be happy.

You are just a hurt chihuahua.

NaijaPikinGidi: Atiku ... No mind the agwagwa! The guy dey kolo! Free im side!

You've been reduced to a chihuahua, with your empty barks. The truth does that. Embrace your host country and be happy.

Kiss the ring...or somebody's āss. Preferably, MikeZA's. You choose.

saengine: 1 dead Tanzanian soldier counts as "heavy casualties"?
Now if the South African soldier who was shot in the leg had been hit a bit higher up on his body and killed, what poor reasoning would you conclude from that? Would you then change your story to include him in the group that lead the offensive? Only those that get killed count as being brave fighters?

And to make things worse the Tanzanian was killed when a mortar landed near his posirion, meaning he wasnt necessarily at the front. While the South African was shot, meaning he was within range of machine gun fire. But you still give the fighting "credit" to the Tanzanian. Im tired of this useless thread....the foolishness.

The mind boggles.

The monkey would change his story and say "South Africans killed by rebels."

It's all about squirming and worming all day for them.

NaijaPikinGidi: So you finally confirmed the falsehood of your initial claims -- that it is the SANDF recce group that have disrupted the M23 supply lines? SANDF did not fly any helicopters, because your fabled Rooivalks are still thousands of kilometers away on home soil. I'd still point out to you again that in reality it is the Tanzanian forces that are leading on all fronts including reconnaissance and troop insertions using the MI-24s.

Stop making a mockery of yourself ... snipers picking who? A random M23 fighter got shot in what could have been long range UN shelling and you make a mountain of it? Possibly a civilian who got caught in the crossfire! Read below:




Only a tested military mind will make sense out my comment repeated above!

Since when are senior officers " random fighters"?

The jealousy of a Naai-gerian South African refugee, whose country could not sustain their own mission in Mali and whose country could not sustain the refugee himself.

South Africa is now showing the losers how to do both - sustain a mission and sustain refugee Naai-jaPigoon.

This frustrates the loser.

Naai-gerian losers beg for help from the US in a bilateral meeting.

Yes - as you will quickly give us links showing that "in reality, it is the Tanzanians" that are leading on all front.

Just the links. Nothing else.

Msauza: Nigeria are losers. America must intervene before matters go out of hand

The US has already indicated that it might help the hapless Naai-gerian losers. It's tired of Naai-geria's uselessness. And it is currently investigating the "death" of Shekau.

agaugust: Congo DRC war is not ready to declare a winner until the jungle warfare starts....and ends....where the mighty fall

Yes, because if the rebels are defeated anywhere else, that's not a victory

Sure, dude. Makes perfect sense. Everyone must go to the jungle and forget about Goma. Very smart analysis there. That's why you are published in Naai-raland and nowhere else.

NaijaPikinGidi: The SANDF narrative only gets sweeter ... "with reports of one being shot from a distance of 2.2km". I don't even want to say much.
All of M23 should have been killed from the same distance and the battle should have been finished off already! Only one?

Yes, because snipers in Naai-geria "spray-shoot" 100 men in one go. This explains why you are being so wonderfully awesome against "the insurgents", right?

agaugust: sorry, we dont trust any south african source that will say things like...we lost 15 men in CAR while Seleka rebls lost...800 !!!!

.

So did you quote South Africa's News24 below because you are dúmb or stúpid?

agaugust: i dont feel embarrassed, i quoted a source. i am not the journalist, so why should i be embarrassed by an incident that happened in south africa where i dont live ? none of my business, i simply dont care.

no source says for sure he committed suicide, south african government says shooting incident, NOT accident or suicide. fool, you should be the one embarrased below :


Johannesburg - A soldier has been killed during an operation in the Kruger National Park, the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) said on Monday.

Private Thabiso Zulu, of Regiment East Rand, was deployed on Sunday with 2 SA Infantry Battalion.

"[He] was allegedly involved in a fatal shooting incident while on duty during Operation Corona in the Kruger National Park," said SANDF spokesperson Xolani Mabanga.

A board of inquiry had been convened to investigate the shooting incident, he said.

[size=16pt]Tanzania leads South Africa into battle in Congo DRC...helping the weaker brother[/size]

following the defeat of south african army in the hands of illiterate Seleka rebel fighters, Tanzanian army, a more capable and brave fighting force, is now leading, helping and protecting the more modern South African army in the Congo DRC fighting.

this will ensure that the south africans do not suffer another military defeat from rebels, and also the courage of the Tanzanian soldiers will cover up the fear of battle and death which prevented the south african army from returning to CAR and engage Seleka rebels in any further combat.

" It's the Tanzanian and South African (United Nations) troops that are on the frontline. It's them that we see first," he said."

Hahaha - defeated apes.

Defeated at every point.

agaugust: when you have been proved wrong, its better you keep quiet or wisely change topic.

the more you try to justify your foolishness, the more you sink deep into it.

NNS Thunder is built to carry any american coast guard or navy helicopter. go to hamilton class cutter web page and read that , i wont waste time to post it. these include heavy recovery Sikorsky HH-60 Jayhawk helicopter. http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg7/cg711/h60s.asp


only few navies in africa have missiles, not a lot as you claim. the only navies that can threaten NNS Thunder are those of, Egypt, Libya, Morroco, South Africa, and maybe 2 others including Equitorial Guinea.

show me a small anti-aircraft gun on an african warship that has more than 5km range to beat the Hind Helicopters rockets.

even your noise making Valour frigate anti-aircraft new gun from DENEL has range of only 4km, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denel_35mm_Dual_Purpose_Gun

maximum speed of the best african warships including valour frigate is about 52km/h
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valour-class_frigate

maximum speed of Hind helicopter is about 335km/h. only a foolish south african military academy teaches you to tell us here that a so called 'agile' stone-heavy ship will be turning at 50km and out-maneuver a Hind helicopter flying 6 times faster at 300km/h on the tail/behind of the ship to rocket attack the warship.

you see i said your fine south african military photos and shiny DENEL weapons will not improve your country's military rankings....your military academy does not know how to fight real life combat and win.

i have told you that no navy 76mm gun will ever fire backwards at a Hind helicopter, the gun will sink the ship itself. dont be more foolish than i think you are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otobreda_76_mm

lastly, stop adding to my words. i never said Hind helicopter will use ATGM rockets on a ship. Hind carries many types of ordinary high exposive or incendiary/fire ball rockets with range up to 5km. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-24

now can you please shut up and stop mis-informing people here ?

.

It does not matter what the rust-bucket was designed for.

It was deemed useless and kicked out of the US Navy fleet, along with the Hamilton.

If it fired one shot, it would cough itself to death, like your one-eyed, 90-year-old man.

Give us a break with your decommissioned "floating thing" from the 60s. Go get a real vessel and then talk to us.

Msauza: Firstly, you claimed that Nigeria deployed before France.

Secondly you failed to provide a source which will substantiate your unfounded claims and instead you furnished an unnecessary link which does not tell anything about Nigerias timeous deployment before France intervention in Mali.

You failed just like your country failed the people of Mali and wanted to claim an easy at the expense of the French. Shaaaaaaame!!!

Hahaha - deserters trying to piggy-back on other people.

agaugust: quote source please. credible neutral source. not south african attention seeking propaganda lies. post with source please.

It's reported all over the world. Don't embarrass yourself, fake man. What kind of a commentator are you? A fake one?

____

Straight from the horse's mouth:


However, the president of the M23 rebel movement, Bertrand Bisimwa, who spoke by telephone, said the U.N.'s intervention brigade was on the frontline of Wednesday's fighting.

"It was the U.N. that was shooting directly at us, from their helicopters. It's the Tanzanian and South African (United Nations) troops that are on the frontline. It's them that we see first," he said.

Thousand of sources on this. Surprised you even have to ask.

NaijaPikinGidi: I stopped giving him the attention that he so badly craves for. After he desperately responded to many of my comments and did not get a single direct response from me ... he basically took the cue!

You both stopped because you got tired of being made a fool of.

You both took me on and got flattened. You and Chris. From overzealousness to "quite diplomacy"

Now, what else can you do but address me indirectly? You never should have started talking to me to begin with. I've always blogged for third party readers.

Change strategy as many times as you want - from "ignore CraigB", to "confront CraigB", to "Ignore CraigB", to "sub tweet CraigB", , nothing will change. The truth will keep getting dished out for the whole world to see.

http://www.defensenews.com/article/20130111/DEFREG04/301110014/Officer-Troops-from-Nigeria-Senegal-France-Back-Malian-Army


"BAMAKO — Troops from Nigeria, Senegal and France were deployed in Mali on Jan. 11 supporting government forces in their offensive against Islamists in the country’s center, a Malian army officer said.

“As we speak to you, troops from Nigeria, Senegal and France are in support of the Malian army in Sevare” in central Mali, Col. Oumar Dao told a news conference in the capital, Bamako. “These troops arrived with the materiel needed to counter the situation,” said Dao, the head of military operations for the army’s chief of staff.

The move occurred as the Malian army on Jan. 11 launched a counter-offensive to recover the central town of Konna, which was captured Jan. 10 by the Islamists. He gave no details on the number of troops, or the quantity and type of materiel deployed."

Yes - only to abandon mission and comrade in the end. Only to run away home in a fit of uselessness.

And don't feed us rubbish. Here's the Mali timeline highlighting France's key role.

----///



A timeline of key events in Mali since France two months ago intervened in its former colony to wrest control of the country's north from Islamist fighters.
-- JANUARY 2013 --
- 11: France launches its operation Serval, aimed at halting the advance of armed Islamists and supporting Malian government troops, a day after Islamists captured the government-held central town of Konna, saying they will push further south towards the capital Bamako.
- 14: Rebels abandon key northern bases but seize the town of Diabaly in government-held territory, 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of Bamako, vowing to "strike at the heart of France".
- 15: France engages ground troops for the first time.
- 16: The crisis takes on a new dimension, when Islamists take hundreds of Algerian and foreign workers hostage at a gas site in Algeria's remote southeastern desert, in an attack they say is to avenge France's intervention in Mali.
- 17: Malian troops recapture Konna.
- 19: Algerian special forces storm the gas complex, ending the hostage drama. At least 37 foreign hostages and one Algerian hostage are killed, along with 29 hostage-takers.
- 21: French and Malian troops recapture Diabaly and Douentza.
- 23: A Paris-based rights group says Malian soldiers have carried out multiple summary executions since the start of the French-backed offensive.
- 26: French-led troops recapture Gao in the north.
- 28: Malian and French forces recapture Timbuktu, also in the north.
- 30: French troops retake control of Kidal airport. Some 1,800 Chadian soldiers arrive in the following days to secure the town.
-- FEBRUARY --
- 2: Visiting French President Francois Hollande promises that France will stay as long as necessary and says that "terrorism...has not been defeated yet".
- 8: After the far northern town of Aguelhok, French and Chadian soldiers take control of strategic town Tessalit.
- 10: Rebel gunmen attack Gao in the first large-scale urban guerrilla assault of the conflict.
- 18: The start of an operation aimed at expelling Islamists from the mountainous Iforhas region in the north-east. Violent clashes have since opposed French and Chadian soldiers and Islamists there.
- 22: The United States has deployed several Predator drones to Niger to fly surveillance missions in support of French forces in Mali, a US defence official says.
-- MARCH --
- 4: Chad's President Idriss Deby Itno says his country's forces have killed two top Islamist militants in Mali -- Abou Zeid and Mokhtar Belmokhtar, on February 22 and March 2 respectively.
- 6: A French soldier is killed in clashes with Islamist fighters near Gao, becoming the fourth French soldier to die in action since the intervention began. The French army says "several hundred" Islamist fighters have been killed.
- Hollande says his country will begin pulling out its 4,000 troops as of April.
- 7-8: French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian says during a visit to Mali the French intervention force has wrapped up most of its work but there are still two pockets of resistance in the north.
- 9: Chad's 2,000-strong contingent in Mali, which has played a leading part in the fight against jihadist militants, officially joins the regional African force deployed there. A Tuareg separatist group in the north, the Azawad National Liberation Movement, meanwhile "categorically rejects" an ECOWAS demand for rebels to disarm as a pre-condition for talks with the Malian government.

Henry120: No point replying @craigb and @msuaza. They are both first class ret*ards.

Old, tired monkey song.

As if CraigB cares about being responded to.

As if things I've said aren't true.

As if monkeys are expected to give me a friendship award for my highlighting their uselessness.

I'm not blogging for the benefit of monkeys.

Truth first. Recognition later. I'm not here to be loved.

That the Thunder is a hand-me-down rust bucket is no lie. That boko haram feasts on Naai-gerians in their own country is no lie. There's no point responding because this wont change. Facts are facts.

At least 24 people have been killed in two attacks by suspected Boko Haram fighters.
Two attacks by suspected Boko Haram fighters have killed 24 people in Nigeria's northeast in the latest violence believed to be in revenge against vigilantes.

A survivor and a hospital source spoke of 18 people killed in the town of Bama on Sunday. A resident and a military source said six people were killed in Damasak on Monday. Both locations are in Borno state, but are some 200km apart.

"They came in military uniform and pretended to be members of the JTF [security task force]," survivor Mallam Bakura Module said of the attack in Bama.

"They asked after members of the vigilante group ... but they opened fire on members of the group."

The attack in Damasak along the border with the neighbouring nation of Niger happened at night time.

"They were shot in the middle of the night while sleeping in the house," said one relative, Mallam Ali Abdullahi.

A military official confirmed the attack.

The violence was the latest in a spate of such attacks apparently targeting vigilantes and local residents co-operating with them. Vigilantes have been credited with helping to push Boko Haram out of the region.

Last week, gunmen dressed as soldiers opened fire on worshippers leaving a mosque in the far northeastern village of Dumba, killing at least 35 people.

The Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, declared a state of emergency in the northeast in May and the military immediately launched a major offensive in the region aiming to end Boko Haram's influence.

Fighting between Nigerian forces and Boko Haram has killed more than 3,600 people since 2009. Both sides have been accused of major abuses.

The group has claimed to be fighting for the creation of an Islamic state.

Nigeria's 160 million population is roughly divided between a mainly Christian south and mostly Muslim north.

agaugust:


a 'useless' warship sailed from nigeria to australia on a 20,000km voyage across 3 global continents ?

a 'useless' warship operated in arctic ice cold ocean regions of Alaska very successfully and won an american national honours award ?

if nigerian Mi-35 helicopter gunship is carried by NNS Thunder instead of nigerian Augusta search/utility Helicopter, the ship has air to sea attack capacity plus its sea to sea 76mm gun with high explosive shelling range of 16km.

that nigerian navy ship called NNS Thunder is a silent k.iller that has firepower to sink 30 out of the 37 countries' navy warships in the whole of africa.

A silent killer that was one of the first to be decommissioned in a group of rackety rust-buckets that were giving the US headaches. A hand-me down from decades ago. Sailing the seas is one thing. Being useful is quite another. The US deemed your rust-bucket useless and they condemned it. Now you want to make noise about it. Your rust-bucket is silent, alright. Silent and useless. It's on its last legs, no doubt.

Look at your hand-me down below. It was a mere coast cutter. Now it's an old rackety thing that floats on the water.

agaugust: show me how congo DRC war has anything close to the 500,000 soldiers that fought nigeria vs biafra war.

show me the sea combat of navy frigates, assault vessels, and fast attack sea crafts of congo DRC war like in nigeria vs biafra war.

show me the attacking and interdicting 80 air force jet fighters and bombers, plus other combat aircraft of congo DRC war as in nigeria vs biafra war.

....your cranium is empty of valid information, that is why some kid journalist helped you fill it up with ordinary cotton wool

Don't make it my problem if you're an imbecïle. It's only two posts or so back that I posted the link. Now you are asking to be shown things again. Are you an idïot or drunk or both?

Now that your stüpid history link has been shown to be old and outdated like your NNS Thunder, you want to throw your bananas out the monkey tree?

Do you even know what the meaning of "deadly" is? What's "deadly" gotta do with "interdicting 80 Air Force jet fighters", whatever rubbish that means?

Go read the link and stop making noise about your civil war, which only serves to show the inability of the Naai-gerian to build a nation.

Wasting my time with your 1997 source in 2013. You're drunk. You think you can talk about embedded journalists when you are still dreaming about being a researcher. Yellow green exposed you as a fake.

agaugust: credible african history disagrees with him....only you agree with him because your own head if empty of facts....so that reporter feeds you full with sawdust

The latest citation of which is 1997.

The African history is neither current nor credible.

Not worth even reading.

And the "researcher" who bandies it about is fake. As Awodwa says, you are stuck in the past. The dust bins of history.
