lezz:Personal attacks and emotion eill never advance your argument. Every second spent focusing on me means the following: 1. The fact that under nigeria's watch we've seen the highest number f persons internally displaced by conflict is unchallenged. 2. The fact that nigerian soldiers are Olympic grade sprint stars is unchallenged. 3. The fact that the insurgency sits unabated for 5 years and counting is unchallenged. 4. The fact that tons of nigerian refugees are streaming into neighbouring countries is unchallenged. 5. The story of thousanda of deaths and injuries is unchallenged. That I'm the subject of your anger means I have struck a nerve with ye above points. It also means that you can't deny them. |
rka1:Under Nigeria's watch: 1. The highest number of persons internally displaced by conflict in africa. 2. Tons of refugees into neighbouring countries, who keep arriving as we speak. 3. Thousands of deaths and injuries. 4. Olympic grade soldiers who run at the speed of light. 5. A raging insurgency unabated for 5 years and counting. |
agaugust:And they used that right to good effect. 1. They entered nigeria. 2. They operated in nigeria. 3. They liberated nigerian territories. What a shame |
rka1:I refer the propaganda general to the picture below. Dikwa + Chad = Nigerian shame.
|
rka1:The ONLY point is that out of shame, their advance was stalled. They ALREADY entered Nigeria multiple times and liberated Nigerian towns. There's no such thing as an almost-Nigerian town. |
rka1:Chad IS Nigeria's saviour without a doubt. Everyone knows knows it. Not just "foreign media". And for as long as media have contact with people on the ground, they beat you any day.
|
rka1:Meaning Nigeria cannot give Chad instructions other than denying them the right to advance further than they already have. Which right was denied after Chad had seen significant success. Also, meaning claims cannot be made that Nigeria contributed to Chad's victories. http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCAKBN0LZ0DS20150303 When battle-hardened Chadian troops overran a Boko Haram camp in northern Nigeria last week, they wanted to press deep into territory controlled by the Islamist group but Nigeria refused to let them. Chadian forces INSIDE Nigeria below.

rka1:To demonstrate your ignorance, this is a Reuters reporter.
|
rka1:I refer you to the picture below. Chad in Dikwa = Nigerian territory. There are no joint operations between Nigeria and Chad. Therefore, no instructions on how to operate. Shame has caused Nigeria to stall Chad's advance. http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCAKBN0LZ0DS20150303 But the Chadians say there have been no joint operations between the two forces. Chad's offer to join a Nigerian offensive to capture Baga, site of one of Boko Haram's worst atrocities in January, was rebuffed, Bermandoa said.

rka1:Nigeria is fighting at home. Chad turns the tide in weeks. Nigeria failing for half a decade. Embarrassing. http://www.wsj.com/articles/chads-army-helps-turn-tide-against-boko-haram-1424823134 |
rka1:"When Chadian forces last month entered the town of Dikwa, they were told to leave by Nigeria's military, which said it was planning air strikes, Bermondoa said. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/03/us-nigeria-violence-chad-insight-idUSKBN0LZ0DS20150303 Western media with reporters on the ground beat a faceless desperado on nairaland anyway.
|
rka1:Picture below says otherwise. Your lack of headway for 5 years and counting says otherwise too.
|
rka1:There's no country known as "BORDER". The country is Nigeria. Dikwa = Boko Haram stronghold in Nigeria. Your precious general and folk had plans to liberate it. But Chad did. |
rka1:Bwahaha - general = propaganda for 5 years straight. Meanwhile, Chadian soldiers in Dikwa.
|
rka1:The whole world knows and is talking about the below. Nigerian forces are an embarrassment.

Chad soldiers in Dikwa.

rka1:History will forever say: Nigeria faced 5 years of running away from BH until Chad came along. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/04/us-nigeria-violence-shekau-idUSKBN0M029220150304 Chad president tells Boko Haram leader to surrender or face death BY MADJIASRA NAKO Wed Mar 4, 2015 3:00pm EST N'DJAMENA (Reuters) - President Idriss Deby of Chad said on Wednesday he knew the whereabouts of Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram, and called on him to surrender or risk being killed. Chad's army has waged a series of battles against Boko Haram as part of a cross-border military campaign and has re-taken territory the militant group held in northeastern Nigeria. "Abubakar Shekau must surrender. We know where he is. If he doesn't give himself up he will suffer the same fate as his compatriots," he told a news conference after a regional meeting. "He was in Dikwa two days ago. He managed to get away but we know where he is. It's in his interests to surrender," Deby said, referring to a town in northeastern Nigeria held by Boko Haram that fell to Chad's army earlier this week. Nigeria's presidency declined to comment on Deby's remarks and a defense spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Nigeria's military has said on at least three occasions it had killed Shekau, or a man claiming to be him. Each time the leader has resurfaced to issue a fresh jihadist video, one of numerous videos the group has made. The Chadian army is considered one of the best in the region, backed by a strong air force. It first deployed to help Cameroon fend off Boko Haram and is now pressing southwest into Nigerian territory after capturing the border town of Gambaru last month. Boko Haram, a Sunni militant group, has killed thousands of people in Nigeria during a six-year insurgency to carve out an Islamic caliphate. It has also staged a series of recent cross- border attacks into Chad, Cameroon and Niger. On Wednesday, a bomb planted and remotely detonated by Boko Haram militants near the southeastern Niger town of Diffa killed two soldiers and wounded a third, Niger military sources said. In a separate attack, armed men on a motorbike killed at least two people in Kerawa, in the Far North region of Cameroon, on Tuesday around 2 p.m. (1300 GMT), according to a Cameroon army officer who declined to be identified.

rka1:Bwahaha - For five years, there was nothing but shame, until Chad came along. There is still shame, but of a different kind. |
EVarn:You are. The point of liberating a town is that BH is now gone and will not be coming back. The deaths do not change that, unless you are a sadist. You had five years and counting of insurgency that you failed to stop. Thousands died and millions were displaced. |
EVarn:Look at this sadist id1ot celebrating the death of his own people to spite Chad. The capture of Dikwa is not purported. It happened and the bodies of the insurgents are piled inside their own command centre. |
Chad does it again, much to the shame of Nigeria. DIKWA - A black and white Boko Haram flag still flutters on top of a deserted villa in the Nigerian town of Dikwa, overlooking a courtyard filled with dirty mattresses and charred vehicles. Inside the villa’s pink and white walls, blood trickled into corridors and a pile of insurgents’ bodies lay in a heap in a wardrobe. The scene was the result of a dawn attack by troops from neighbouring Chad, who are driving deep into Nigerian territory in an offensive aimed at helping end a six-year insurgency that has killed thousands and now sucking in neighbouring armies. “They resisted ferociously. This huge villa was their command centre,” a Chadian soldier who fought in the battle told a Reuters reporter visiting the town after fighting subsided. Colonel Azem Bermandoa, a Chad army spokesman, said more than 100 of the militants died in the battle for Dikwa, a town at a major crossroad some 80 km east of Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria’s northeastern Borno state. “They came to hide here as we advanced,” another Chadian soldier said, pointing to the bodies in the wardrobe. In an apparent last act of defiance, a Boko Haram suicide bomber climbed into a truck carrying gas canisters and blew it up, killing one Chadian soldier and injuring 34. Bermandoa said Chadian troops chased the remaining fighters about 15 km out of the town, where many walls are now sprayed with bullets and most houses lie deserted. In this part of Nigeria until now, Boko Haram’s heartland residents have learned to flee the Sunni militants’ bid to carve out an Islamic caliphate. But the tide finally appears to be turning against them as Chad has spearheaded a regional push against the group and Nigerian forces notch up some military gains as well. Chad’s victory at Dikwa is one that Nigeria would have like to have called its own. Its army chief previously said his soldiers listed Dikwa as a town that troops wanted to recapture before elections, due to have been held in February but pushed back to March due to insecurity. Chadian forces had planned to take the town last month, but were ordered back by Nigeria, which said it planned to attack it. But a Chadian soldier in Dikwa said the closest Nigerian soldiers got to the town during Monday’s fighting was 50 km away. Chad’s army, considered one of the best in the region and backed by a strong air force, first deployed to help Cameroon fend off Boko Haram and is now pressing southwest into Nigerian territory after capturing the border town of Gambaru last month. That victory starved Boko Haram militants of supplies, said Ryan Cummings, chief Africa analyst at crisis management group Red24. “The major challenge that the Nigerian army faced was that Dikwa served as forward base for Boko Haram and was readily being supplied with resources and combatants from Boko Haram positions along the Nigeria-Cameroon border,” he said. But despite these recent setbacks, Boko Haram has proven it is still able to carry out isolated attacks. Two security sources said Boko Haram attacked Kaiga on Lake Chad at the weekend. They arrived in canoes and burned houses, but it was not immediately possible to confirm a number of casualties. Cummings added that losing key towns did not necessarily mean the end of Boko Haram, which long before beginning to control territory, waged a guerrilla war involving raids and car bombing. “Even if the combined forces are successful in dislodging Boko Haram from its regional strongholds, this may not bring about regional stability,” he said. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/03/us-nigeria-violence-chad-idUSKBN0LZ2NS20150303 |
lezz:Given that here isn't a single post of mine you haven't responded to, you're definitely engaged. And again, I read this whole post of yours and nowhere do I see the following: 1. A denial that chad feed nigerian towns. 2. A denial that chad progressed into nigeria. 3. A denial that Nigeria stopped chad from making further inroads. 4. A denial that chad's success is an embarrassment to nigeria. 5. Links and evidence in support of any of your statements. All I see are words. Lots of them. But the words remain empty. Quantity =/= a reasoned argument. What you need to do is to be ashamed |
lezz:You are already being engaged, seeing as you have responded to all the posts I have placed here. But what you have not done is bring anything thought-out. Instead, you referred to the work of others, pretty much like how your own military has relied on Chad's work for their own glory. So, the behavior... the stealing of glory...is a Nigerian thing. Where your military has had their behinds saved by Chad, you cannot think for yourself. So insofar as this thread is concerned, you still have failed to dispute Nigeria's shameful stalling of the Chadian military effort. Feel free to point out the contradictions, assuming you can think that far. Something that up to now, remains highly doubtable. Rather post emoticons. |
Msauza:Exactly, my man. The whole thing backfired on Jonathan with the elections coming up. He can't afford to have this credited to Chad because it would mean lost votes. So, once again because of empty pride, he risks Nigerian lives when Chad could have finished Boko Haram off. And then the Nigerian id1ots on the thread want to praise that failure to protect lives. |
lezz:In summary, you can't think or talk for yourself. You rely on others to make arguments for you, so that you can piggyback on the intellectual work of others. An intellectual squatter, you are. This explains the empty rhetoric coming from you. Unfortunately, the fact below still remains undisputed, either by you or the people you are a hanger-on of: "Out of shame and embarrassment, Nigeria stalled Chad, after Chad's push into Northern Nigeria" There's nothing more petty than bringing empty rhetoric when confronted with links and such. http://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFKBN0LZ0DU20150303 |
lezz:In which part of this post, which effectively is an analysis of DieVluit's personality, is there a coherent argument and evidence against the following statement: "Out of shame and embarrassment, Nigeria stalled Chad, after Chad's push into Northern Nigeria"? Please point out where your argument and evidence are, because we don't see them. You are not Iteraror, Evarn or August. If they had already done the job, why are you going there "again"? Argument and evidence, please. Not rhetoric. |
lezz:I read this one too and looking at it, there isn't even a half-hearted attempt to put together an argument of any sort. So, in short, you are now just typing for the sake of typing and the fact that Chad has shamed Nigeria and that Nigeria reacted to the shaming remains indisputable. And it is not an opinion if it comes straight out of multiple news reports, with quotes in tow too. You have nothing equivalent against what's been said. All you can do now is post emoticons. |
lezz:I searched your entire post for a coherent argument and evidence in support but found nothing beyond temper. So, in short, you have nothing to dispute the fact that out of shame and embarrassment, Nigeria decided to stall a very effective Chadian military effort. Be ashamed. |
lezz:Below. Read it and weep. http://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFKBN0LZ0DU20150303 And just so we're clear, you have nothing but rhetoric against a link. Nigeria stalls Chad, aims to beat Boko Haram before election Tue Mar 3, 2015 6:32am GMT Print | Single Page [-] Text [+] REUTERS/Emmanuel Braun 1 of 1Full Size By Daniel Flynn and Bate Felix N'DJAMENA/YAOUNDE (Reuters) - When battle-hardened Chadian troops overran a Boko Haram camp in northern Nigeria last week, they wanted to press deep into territory controlled by the Islamist group but Nigeria refused to let them. Having defeated al Qaeda in Mali two years ago, Chad's military believes it could could finish off Boko Haram alone. It has notched up victories that have pushed the Nigerian militants back from the Cameroonian border. |
agaugust:And in those 6 weeks, they liberated Nigerian towns. Nigeria has spent 6 years with no tangible results, until Chad came along. Be ashamed. |
iterator24:Your repeated demands for an answer say otherwise. |
agaugust:How does that support your argument, which you have lost already, that Chad is useless because civilians died under their watch? How is that a defence against the fact that it is in fact Nigeria that failed more than Chad in defending civilians? It does not support your argument, so we can dismiss it as butthurt. |
