Biafra vs Nigeria remains Africa's deadliest war up till today. 100,000 soldiers died....also 2 million civilians died in 3 years.

.

A respected war correspondent (who is not fake and has the pictures to prove it) disagrees with you.

NaijaPikinGidi: Shameful that the mad one is now sulking? I dey talk of the bobo wey dey on top this talk wey I just talk.

Perfect new approach.

I like it.

Idïots trying to tell us that their old coast guard piece of rubbish is worthy of combat on the high seas.

USCG Debates Which Cutters to Decommission
By philip ewing
Published: 13 Nov 2009 12:27

The U.S. Coast Guard's aging fleet of high endurance cutters is in such bad shape that officials can't choose which ships to retire first as their replacements enter service.

Coast Guard officials took delivery Nov. 6 of their second national security cutter, the Waesche, and work is proceeding on the third, Stratton, said Capt. Bruce Baffer, head of the Coast Guard's surface acquisitions, but the service doesn't know yet which of its older ships to replace with the new ones.

"We have a number of schedules, but it seems to change about weekly," Baffer said. "It's hard to tell which ones are in worse shape."

In the past year, the Coast Guard has had to sideline two of its 378-foot high-endurance cutters, the Dallas and Gallatin, for major engineering work. Officials initially would have said those two ships should leave service first - to be replaced by the national security cutters Bertholf and Waesche - but now they don't want to lose the money they invested in repairing them, Baffer said.

The Coast Guard's four decade-old Hamilton-class cutters are disintegrating even as crews continue to drive them hard in missions at sea. When the Coast Guard makes its budget submission to Congress each year, Commandant Adm. Thad Allen includes photos that show the results of corrosion, fire and wear on ships that continue to operate at ..

Now, guess which was actually decommed. The useless NNS Thunder F90 rust bucket, which Naai-geria now wants to make noise about here. A blerry hand-me down from the dust bin of the US navy. SMH.

NaijaPikinGidi: Kolomentally yarning to me? I no get your time you this boy! Go siddon for your naughty corner until you are told otherwise! I dey talk for the benefit of my fellow obodo people! So wetin be your own inside our matter?

As if I ever cared about being ignored, or monkey talk. In fact, it works best for me.

You know a nation is useless when they are donated a decommissioned, hand-me-down coast cutter, and they decide to recommission it as their frigate.

This old, decommissioned, grand mother of a vessel belongs in the museum.

SMH.

NaijaPikinGidi: Poor circus showing today! Fewer demons at work in his mind today! His forced state of ignominy is surely working wonders in his life!

Newly acquired habit - talking to yourself whenever your bozo comments are highlighted., which is often.

Is this how your brown water rust bucket refuels on petrol?

Your decommissioned, US hand-me-down rust bucket?

NaijaPikinGidi: No! AndrewZA ... your comment appeared to suggest that NNS Thunder was obsolete and couldn't get to Australia on its initial full tank capacity. And that was exactly what Agaugust rightly pointed out in his response to you! Topping-up fuel was not necessary at that point of the journey ... but the Ship's Captain made the operational decision and rightly so ... as a precautionary measure. But how come you failed to correct the misleading comments from SAEngine and his co-idi.ots ... regarding the Ship's arrival, berthing and refueling procedures? It surely took our informed comments to make you clarify yours! Way to go!

Well, it didn't get to Australia on "its initial full tank capacity" now, did it?

You are a bozo who thinks a ship runs on petrol.

Andrew should ignore you and be happy.

"Africa's deadliest war" enters a new phase.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/08/20/congo-civil-war/2624757/

NaijaPikinGidi: So do you expect such a ship to power itself on seawater? We topped-up on petrol and we paid your government via your Naval fuel depot for the top-up. Was the truck you saw as big as the ship? Do you know the size of the ship's tank? Shore/harbour supply and berthing like you have confessed were also not for free! So stop making noise over Naval procedures and visit that are simply ROUTINE! You have confirmed there was nothing special about our Navy's berthing at your Naval base!

Oh wow. Naai-gerian brown water rubbish bunkers on petrol.

This is a circus. We are dealing with bozos and clowns this morning.

People who have no clue. SMH.

CAMEROONPRIDE: these Nigerians and their bogus and fake claims.eh eh .empty barrels who masterminded the art of chest beating . the NA is in bad state fact. people are still being slaughtered fact. the army is divided along ethnic lines fact.

since they are people here fond of distorting history, i'm forced to go back on the bakassi saga, NA never occupied more villages than the Cameroonian army, this is for the one who said the Nigeria rag tag army occupied more than half of bakassi like wtf.

The CA(Cameroonian army killed more militants and soldiers fact. despite being on two fronts(rebels militants, and NA attacks) we managed to defeat our enemies and to lose few soldiers. last but not the least we kicked out the NA and gained full control of Bakassi. next step is kick the civilians out in order to fully exploit the area. as for now bakassi will b under military rule for the next 5years.

again I urge Nigerians to humble themselves. I don't think the term past glory should b used here ..more like stop this delusion of grandeur and senseless boasting over nothing attitude. where are all the groups who were causing mayhem and havocs in the gulf of guinea/ niger delta area? the CA is not making prisoners, piracy decreased since we took over etc.. Nigeria has been proven to b useless both for his neighbors. I rest my case

Tune them straight, CameroonPride.

Tune the cowardly deserters, who can't even be trusted to contribute meaningfully in missions. Tune'em!

for the doubting Thomas...

[size=14pt]Nigerian Navy Demonstrates Blue Water Capability ...

NNS Thunder in South Africa and Australia[/size]

only a blue water navy can embark on an intercontinental voyage from nigeria to austarlia about 20,000km away.

....reason why i said nigeria can land a covert assault force in a selected remote location of south africa's about 3,000km long and poorly defended coastline..... NNS Ambe in action.

Since when is floating on the waters of the seas "demonstrating blue water capability"?

I suppose our family's little "skip" demonstrates blue water capability every weekend then.

Give us a break, with your military of deserters, will you.

Even I can see that you are talking out your Naai-gerian bum.

agaugust: you too give me your south african CAR combat pull-outs statement, as issued on the date of SANDF pull-out.

Quite telling that you answer a demand with a demand. Our pull-out is above board. As yours is also out there for all to see, by the way. You just want to twist things.

Here is your pull-out statement.

Nigeria Pulls Some Troops From Mali


After months of denial, Nigeria has officially announced the withdrawal of much of her 1200-strong contingent from peacekeeping operations in Mali, and Sudan to help a severely-depleted force back home confront the deadly insurgent group, Boko Haram.

agaugust: if nigeria still keeping a battalion of our army in mali, announcing our pull out, fixing dates/schedules, leaving mali in an organized manner, receiving the highest national honour from mali's new president....means we ran away, then what will you call south african army's usain bolt speedy and disorganized after-battle exit from CAR home of seleka rebels ?

This is rubbish.

Where does it say "mission accomplished" in July? Everything in July points to one thing - mission abandonment because of weakness.

andrewza: Post a link where your solds conduct a combat oprastion in mali.

Andrew, you are debating with a foöl who's failed to redeem Naai-geria. You've said all that needs to be said and the truth is out for all to see.

andrewza: It well knowen nigeria never fought any battel in mali.

How could they fight any battles when their competence was always in doubt? Doubts that they gave credence to when they failed to stay put like they had committed to.

SMH.

I'm petitioning the Secretary General, to demand that Cameroon replaces these unreliable losers on all future missions!

NaijaPikinGidi: Hard hitting truths can make a person go mad! But ignoring a brat and letting him swim in his own ignominy can force out all the dirty trash and insults in a split moment of inner pain! I wonder which angels beat out the demons tormenting this ignominous soul ... so much that with sober and sorry head he retracted his trademark invectives and edited his insults! What a sorry kid he must be?

Is that why you are talking to yourself, with posts attached to the air?

How is this for truths?

NIGERIAN ARMY ABANDONS PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS IN MALI AND DARFUR TO COMBAT BOKO HARAM

Andrew McGregor

July 25, 2013

Nigeria has begun to pull back troops from peacekeeping missions in Mali and Darfur as its two-month-old offensive against Boko Haram militants begins to falter even as northern Nigerian extremists turn to soft targets to disrupt the efforts of security forces. Launched on May 14, the offensive has proved controversial from the start, with critics describing it as ineffective and shockingly casual in its regard for civilian lives.

NaijaPikinGidi: AndrewZA thinks the Nigeria led AFISMA operation did not yield anything because according to him Northern Mali is not safe. According to him the so-called Tuareg seperatist are still alive and strong. My question to him was:



If his assumption is correct, would there have been peaceful elections in Mali? Would this once kidnapped Swiss woman have returned to Mali?

http://www.mail.com/int/news/world/2294906-woman-taken-hostage-mali-timbuktu.html#.2394-stage-set1-8

Mali is much safer today thanks to Nigeria and France!

AndrewZA please answer the question!

Stop diverting matters. You son of a coward. Son of a deserter.

The "peaceful" elections of Mali are irrelevant.

The elections were "peaceful" in spite of your having abandoned your mission.

You ran back home, without any explanation. Where is your "completion statement"?

Show us what you said when you withdrew, which then would confirm that you deemed the mission completed and nicely wrapped up.

Don't give us stories. Just your statement as issued on the date of your withdrawal - confirming your tale.

NaijaPikinGidi: And idi.ot is looking for direct attention! Senseless comment ... they one above.

Yes - you are looking for attention.

Truth hurts. You are a nation of let-downs. You let down a whole mission and ran home, with no credible explanation.

Comrades were left drained because of your unreliability.

NaijaPikinGidi: Alive and strong by AndrewZA's account? You are a serious joke! Let's see your coward SANDF take the fight to M23. What are they waiting for? The last known ultimate to the M23 expired long long long time ago! Action please!

You ran from Mali, cowards.

You can't talk to us about taking the fight to anyone. You abandoned comrades who'd relied on you and sapped the energy out of them.

You can't speak because your soldiers are home.

agaugust: The whole world is not safe, people get shot in cape town too.

.

Thank you for withdrawing everything you ever posted about "the unsafe South Africa". It's good to know the whole world is not safe.

Now back to the issue of how you withdrew from Mali and ran home, at the back of lies about withdrawing "in protest".

Donian007: Hmm! I have just one thing to point out here for now.......If news headlines are to form the summary of our convictions then that should be an argument for another thread. What interests me here is the unending, mischievous and ignorant use of a particular headline to summarise a scenario instead of properly and objectively analysing its content and context. However, an enlightened mind would observe that headlines always differ even when the reportage is on thesame happening and so it suggests a ridiculous, senseless, childish and cowardly mind is on ample display when such a person hangs on such headlines. Nigeria's withdrawal from Mali and Sudan was greeted with too much and unnecessary speculations but all in a bid to malign her, reporters quoted anonimous and identified sources to promote their work as being authentic, correct and reliable, some even lied wether ignorantly or by design about the total manpower of the Nigerian Army to support their reports that insinuates manpower shortage. Others made claims of incapability, even Nigerian senators where quoted to support such reports.
MY SUBMISSION: The Nigerian military is very much involved incountry and abroad, from the Niger Delta(now fairly demilitarised) to the NorthCentral spanning across the NorthEast and its borders and has a large force to contain its operations. The Nigerian military is set up mainly to protect its people and territory, anyother engagement is a special and voluntary favour it does and so is not and should not be under any obligation to send its troops out for whatsoever reason and withdrawing them must not and should not cause any headaches or pains to anyone, therefore the much hulaballoo is unnecesary. Mali was a peace enforcement and that explains the absence of BLUE BERETS, HELMETS AND VESTS, for us to now start seeing the blues marks gives a signal. Also Nigeria's involvement in Mali had another spectacular motive regarding the insurgency back home and so at the accomplishment of these she returned home having no interest in letting her gallant and brave warriors bear the BLUE MARKS.
Sudan was also a mission Nigeria values because of her goodwill towards Africa and still have troops there as well as Mali. "NIGERIA ABANDONS MALI TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM" Nigeria was fighting Boko Haram before she went to Mali and continued fighting Boko Haram there.
"NIGERIA WITHDRAWS FROM MALI, SUDAN.
"NIGERIA CONCLUDE AFISMA AS MINUSMA SETS IN, WITHDRAWS TROOPS"..... All report thesame event but will differ in the real message to be passed across and so, my comrades and compatriots I ask that you allow the ignorant ones be. #hope some people wont quote me and start foaming their stupidity#

Nice story. Too bad it doesn't explain why the withdrawal was "in protest".

And this is a public forum. You will be quoted anytime and by anyone.

NaijaPikinGidi: Until the SANDF understand the intricacies of warfare in Africa, they'll be gaining no good experience or reputation in a hurry! Troop withdrawal after a successful military operation in Mali is routine. BTW the Nigerian Police Force is taking care of peace keeping operations with NA Signals and medical support! The Nigerian Police is doing what participating militaries in the Mali PKO are doing! Food for thought on why NA needs and is seeking harder action!

The Mali withdrawal was so routine that you had to say it was done "in protest"?

I suppose it is routine to withdraw "in protest" then.
Routinely Naai-gerian? Is that it?

Sure, dude. That's was quite a routine abandonment of a mission. You certainty gained a reputation out of that.

NaijaPikinGidi: Senseless as usual. Explain your comment above!

Hello? Is this the same gentleman in a cap, who said I'm not getting any more airtime from him?

Is this the chap in a cap, who rides the city liner and hangs around Park Station?

What happened now? This chap is demanding airtime from me? SMH.

NaijaPikinGidi: It surely hurts us to see them shrink from their offensive UN mandate with all the supposed "firepower" and "expertise" that SANDF continues to boast of. They are wasting time, being idle and earning no war success reputation for themselves.

Hahaha - you earned some reputation when you withdrew from your Mali mission.

Shrinking and shrivelling all in one fell swoop.

NaijaPikinGidi: Your shame has just been amplified! Until you make any sense ... I'm not giving you any more airtime! Cheers my boy! You behold the jungle domain of the M23 and suddenly can't remember your clearly stated UN mandate to take-on the M23 offensively!

We know the clear instructions by your Commander-In-Chief ... "lead the offense from behind". SMH.

Run along now. Don't let the Telkom tower of Braamfontein bang ya!

You are on the underside of this one. Unless you point us to the relevant, shall we say, nitty-gritties as requested, of course.

Chow now. Your airtime is neither requested nor specifically desired.

Descendant of deserters.

2smooth2shout: don't mind the cowards. Why did they run to traain in Brazillian jungle if they never had the intention of going after the rebels in the DRC jungle.

Their swift deployment after their CAR defeat was just a charade to make us quickly 4get and focus on their honeymoon vacation in DRC

A nation that abandoned its mission calling others cowards?!


How does this work? A nation abandons its missions and calls people that are actually in a mission cowards? Lol

Something wrong with this picture. You losers went back home!!

Grasping at straws now.

2smooth2shout: this only proves my point. sANDF will not be attacking anything. They only retalliated to an attack. It's the only tactics SANDF know, that's why they can't win anything.

They waited for sleka to attack and fled when it was time to attack back. Check all your war history, south africa has never been in an all out offensive.

The time they tried it in lesotho, they got the worst embarrassment until SADC troops came to their rescue. .

SANDF is a gutless military

More vomit from a sick man. Will you be showing us our mandate anytime soon, monkey man?

Or will you continue along your path of mouth farts? Predictable, seeing as you "not a single gunshot fired" idïotic quip has died.

NaijaPikinGidi: SANDF fighting? Or hiding? The fight in Mali ended ... so tell us what we don't know?
Obviously, your last piece of brain just deserted you!

Show us where SA is hiding.

We all know who abandoned their mission, now.

NaijaPikinGidi: Quote me verbatim and let readers see you for your worthless worth! Lone bloody liar! Coward!

"Your" means Naai-gerian, idïot. All over this thread I use "we" and "your" in that way. "We withdrew in protest" was the party-line. Now you happily admit that this was a lie.

Unreliable losers of Naai-geria. Cameroon should take your place in future missions.

NaijaPikinGidi: I guess it's obvious where your mischief is leading to! Remain as you were then ... Cowards with no guts to carry out their offensive mandate to deal with the M23 in Goma! Waka dey go!

The cowards are in the DRC fighting. The "brave men" of Naai-geria "withdrew in protest".

Bloody deserters! You need to be hung out in the sun for Approximately ninety days.

NaijaPikinGidi: You are obviously telling yourself a lie and believing your own lie alone! Take it easy on yourself. Our Army and Police are ensuring that Mali maintains the very peace Nigeria successfully enforced!

Exactly! I'm only repeating your own lie. "We withdrew in protest". Yeah right. Even you admit now that this was a lie.

NaijaPikinGidi: I thought SANDF mandate was also an offensive one -- meaning to take the fight to rebels wherever they are? Now even the prospects of entering the DRC jungle is leaving your cowardly troops scared to advance to take on the rebels! SANDF as usual!

Show us where the "offensive" mandate says that we must go into the jungle. Show us that and stop pissing in the wind.

You know all about out mandate, don't you? So please, point the part that says "SANDF! To the jungle!"

Make it chop-chop. I don't have all day, now.
