overhypedsteve:Look at my first ever then you'll know. All south africans got to nairaland the same way. They were googling South Africa and lo and behold, nigerians on nairaland had created topic after topic on south africa. You are a dreamer, boet. A lot of us didn't even know that Nairaland existed. Let alone this thread. |
jl115:Hahaha he has the crazy dream that people all over the world come to this forum for military research. ![]() |
Henry120:You're well known on this forum for sucking things out your thumb. Name just one report that you EVER read that said "nigerian inteligence agents working in SA..." There's no such. It's one your famous thumb sucks. Henry Okah is in a south african prison today because South Africa did all the work. Did the work in the interests of the colonial subjects that could not help themselves. lol Henry the dreamer. You don't even know what BH is gonna do next. |
The Nigerian military says military training in nigeria has been kak for years. But we knew that already. http://www.today.ng/news/nigerian-military-worried-over-quality-of-officers-produced-by-nda/ |
agaugust:He said it. Intelligence reports from south africa saved Jonathan = south africa saved Jonathan. South africas courts saved Jonathan = South Africa saved Jonathan. You can't run away from it. We saved the chief of our colonial subjects. We know there are nigerian refugees in south africa. |
I'm agaugust:MEND is not Boko haram. As we speak, Henry Okah sits in a south African prison eating pap. We saved Jonathan alright. Jonathan CONFIRMED it himself. |
When Boko Haram arrived in Baga, the soldiers did what they do best: THEY IMMEDIATELY FLED Boko Haram's massacre in Nigeria: what happened and why Updated by Max Fisher on January 10, 2015, 2:50 p.m. ET @Max_Fisher max@vox.com TWEET (571) SHARE (592) + A 2013 photo shows the northeast Nigerian town of Baga PIUS UTOMI EKPEI/AFP/Getty FOLLOW VOX! Follow By signing up, you agree to our terms. The Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram launched its worst attack ever in the northeastern town of Baga, where it killed hundreds or possibly more. The motivation is unclear, but it appears aimed at intimidating Nigerians into not voting in the coming presidential election. Key context is the military's indifference to northern Nigerian lives. Its troops fled almost immediately, and had itself previously massacred Baga's residents. What we know about the attack No one knows for sure how many people the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram slaughtered during its six-day rampage in the northeastern town of Baga. A lone and speculative early report said 2,000 dead, though subsequent counts suggest "dozens" or "hundreds." But there is little question this is a massacre of breathtaking and possibly unprecedented severity, even for Boko Haram. If you zoom out, though, you can see that a crucial part of this story is the Nigerian military's repeated and demonstrated indifference to the lives of northern Nigerians. Here is what appears to have happened: On Saturday, January 3, Boko Haram fighters in pickup trucks drove up to a military outpost in Baga. The Nigerian troops immediately began fleeing; Boko Haram captured the outpost by noon. In the next few days, the group raided surrounding villages, killing civilians. On Wednesday, it overran Baga itself, beginning a days-long process of methodically razing buildings and killing everyone the group saw. "When they neutralized the soldiers, they proceeded to Baga and started killing everyone on sight," a witness told the New York Times. "There was no pity in their eyes. Even old men and children were killed." Here is what we know about why they did it: It is still not totally clear why Boko Haram so viciously attacked Baga. But the closest thing to evidence of a motive came on Friday. As Boko Haram slaughtered Baga's residents, its fighters visited several nearby villages. They shot villagers, apparently at random, and commanded the survivors not to vote, the Wall Street Journal reports. Boko Haram condemns democracy itself as religiously forbidden; on Thursday, its leader had released a video ranting against democracy in all its forms, and it has long stated that voting is a crime. Nigeria is in the middle of a presidential campaign and is gearing up for a presidential election on February 14. The country is roughly split between Muslims and Christians; ironically, Boko Haram's anti-democracy attacks could swing the election in favor of incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian, by suppressing turnout among mostly Muslim northern Nigerians who would likely vote against him. The bigger picture: the Nigerian military's failure A Nigerian woman walks past burned homes in Baga in 2013, shortly after the military destroyed much of the town (AFP/Getty Images) A Nigerian woman walks past burned homes in Baga in 2013, shortly after the military destroyed much of the town (AFP/Getty Images) Like the larger story of Boko Haram itself, the story of the Baga massacre is a story of Boko Haram's depravity but also of the Nigerian military's abject failure. It is not just that the Nigerian troops stationed in Baga fled almost immediately on Boko Haram's arrival. The military has itself played a role in Baga's terror. In April 2013, a handful of Boko Haram fighters ambushed some Nigerian troops near Baga. In response, the military stormed Baga, burning down thousands of homes and killing 200 people. This is wholly consistent with the Nigerian military's conduct in its so-called fight against Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, where the group operates. The heavy-handed military — which, recall, ruled as dictators not so long ago — has been accused time and again of atrocities in its campaign against Boko Haram. They are typically accused of targeting civilians, but sometimes, they kill out of what appears to be simple incompetence. In March 2014, for example, some very brave northern Nigerians alerted the military that Boko Haram was operating near their village. The military did nothing for several days, then bombed the village, killing the very people who'd tried to help, by which time Boko Haram had left. None of this created Boko Haram, but it helps provide an environment where the group is able to operate more widely and freely than it otherwise could. The military's utter failures, and at times active efforts to commit atrocities, are a crucial component of the Boko Haram story, nationally and in Baga.

Not only did South Africa save Nigeria from the chains of military rule, now South Africa also saved Nigeria's president from assassination. It is what it is. //: “Okar bombed Abuja and the attempt was to assassinate me but intelligence report from South Africa hinted me on the plan to assassinate me. He is now in jail in South Africa and they said MEND dumped Jonathan. Okar that wanted to assassinate Jonathan, will he support Jonathan?’’ http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/why-i-should-be-re-elected-jonathan/ |
Henry120:Bwahaha Henry the Comedian. There's no such contract bra. No APC from Proforce will even smell a French soldier. Thank you. No such. And before the rooster crows tomorrow, you would've failed to produce anything backing up your story three times. |
ChukwuCantDie:Not only are Nigerians exploited by south Africans, they are OWNED by South Africans who expatriate nairas from Nigeria like there's no tomorrow. And then are the Chinese. Anyone who wants to exploit nigerians has free reign to. Permission granted by Nigeria's radar less leaders. Carte Blanche, baba.
|
Nigeria is leaderless, heroeless, radar less and consequently, hopeless. Reports of fresh Boko Haram attack. Up to 2000 may have died and entire town burnt to the ground. http://www.twinsgistmag.com/2015/01/boko-haram-attacked-baga-againmany.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed:+TwinsGistOnlineMagazine+(+TWINS+GIST+ONLINE+MAGAZINE)&m=1 |
dakingsman:He was conised by the queen bra. Like every single Nigerian on the planet was. And the queen patted him on the head and have him an award, like a good colonial subject. Lol, your hero is an ENTERTAINER? A musician who sang in Pigdin? A womaniser that walked around in white stained underwear before dying of AIDS? When nations list their universal heroes, that's what you come up with? See what I mean? No Nigerian will ever be listed with the giants, bra. Ever! Bunch of cowards you are! SA is blessed with real heroes. Not LOCAL celebrities. Universal heroes. That's what we are talking about here. Nothing else. And my friend, you have none because the Nigerian heart is weak.
|
iterator24:Which play second fiddle to south African companies. You're a colony boet. Colony. |
kgr28:They can name no universal heroes. They can name no nigerian companies in SA. Talk about a cursed nation. |
kgr28:Only anyone can exploit nigerians, from Chinese to south africans, it's all the same. Nigeria is leaderless and radar less. They have no one to protect them. |
kgr28:You can say that again. When people want to curse you, they say "you will end up like Nigeria if you carry on like this". |
stillchris:South africans who produce more than 40 000 Mw. Nigeria's production has been lower than an electric eel's for decades. Now it's the equivalent of a firefly. |
stillchris:Bwahaha - these circumstances: From 4000MW down to 2000 MW. 180 million souls... Are uniquely nigerian. They'll never be repeated anywhere else in the world. The firefly has more electricity in its bum. |
stillchris:2000 MW for a country of 180 million. My microwave generates more energy. Your leaders know they can du whatever they want. No nigerian will rise up. |
ChukwuCantDie:What you should be agreeing with as well, is that after ten pages of talking about heroes and values and vision and principles and the foundation of nations, Nigerians could produce nothing worth noting. No nigerian could ever stand among Giants in the world. That's what you should be agreeing with too. That's why nigerians will forever be warring against each other with not a single thing to congregate around. With not a single source of inspiration.
|
stillchris:Lol, how does this change the fact ghat your already invisible electricity generation has DROPPED to 2000 MW? Hmmm? See, if you were a nation of Braves, you'd have none of this abuse. But you aren't. |
stillchris:You do need heroes, you just don't have any. If I had no girlfriend, I'd say I don't need one. You need a vision, you have none. You need principles, you have none. You need something to be courageous for, you have none. You need precedents from generations gone by. You have none. You don't knew where you are going cause you don't even know where you came from and have no pedigree. All heroes in every nation come out of a specific set of circumstances. Nigeria does not have that. You have never had and will never have anything to shape your destiny. No Nigerian could EVER inspire THE WORLD into action. Nothing that your soldiers could draw strength and inspiration from, so they run from the enemy. Cowards, you are.
|
dakingsman:See this is exactly my point. You talk to a Nigerian about heroism and they tell you about riches. You talk to them about universal heroes and they talk about local celebrities. Universal heroes inspire people across nations, generations and ages. They become legends that people draw inspiration and lessons from no matter where on the planet they are from. Abraham Lincoln. Che Guevara. Pure inspiration. No Nigerian ever did that. Least of all the people that you list. Man, you wanna talk about someone who was colonised by queen victoria and then awarded a sword of honour as a colonial subject? Only a Nigerian would honour cowardice like that. That's why the people that you praise are not universal heroes. You all produce cowards.
|
ChukwuCantDie:That's all you are good for as a Nigerian. When nations rise up and talk about their heroes, a Nigerian has nothing to talk about. so he doesnt rise but instead, he sinks lower into the mud. The symptoms of being the son of fathers who never had any heart or balls. A ghanaian screams "Nkruma" and rises up. A nigerian shrinks into the mud and plays there. So many heroes South Africa has, no page could be long enough for us to list all of them. What does nigeria have? Cowardice and emptiness. Our identity as a nation comes from centuries of history of heroism. Our values and principles were sharpened and refined over centuries. Nigeria has no identity. It is lost. A lost ship drifting aimlessly at sea. And then you expect your soldiers to die bravely? Die for what?
|
overhypedsteve:But he did it in his native South Africa, unlike Yar'adua, who had to sh1t himself in foreign lands. That's what happens when your land has no vision and is populated by men who are nothing but cowards. |
overhypedsteve:The definition of heroism is what you DO NOT HAVE in Nigeria. You could not point to a single woman or man and say, yes, this is a UNIVERSAL hero that inspired to world across generations and ages. No matter how you slice and dice it, you do not have that. Never will there ever be a Nigerian the world will talk about like they talk about South Africa's MANY heroes and heroins.

Power supply drops to 2,880MW January 8, 2015 by ‘Femi Asu 19 Comments Power supply from the national grid to households and businesses in the country tumbled below 3,000 megawatts on Tuesday, almost a month after it dropped to 2,954.52MW before rebounding. Power generation fell to 2,948.45MW on Tuesday, while 2,880.31MW was sent out, according to data obtained from the Presidential Task Force on Power on Wednesday. The downturn in power generation was attributed to the sabotage of the Trans Forcados Pipeline on Sunday, January 4, 2015. Power generation on the day fell to 3,415.21MW, while 3,314.99MW was sent out, according to the Federal Ministry of Power. The quantum of electricity available for distribution to various classes of consumers as of December 29, 2014 was 4,112.29MW out of the 4,389.7MW generated, but this fell to 3,415.21MW on Sunday, according to the ministry. The Special Adviser on Gas to the Minister of Power, Mr. Frank Edozie, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, said, “The reason power supply is down is that there is not enough gas and the reason there is not enough gas is because of sabotage of gas pipelines. “The pipelines have been regularly vandalised in the last few months. The Trans Forcados Pipeline has been down. The last incident occurred on Sunday. The previous one was last Wednesday. The pipeline was fixed and as it was about to be commissioned, it was vandalised again at various points.” The country achieved the highest peak generation of 4,517.6 MW of electricity on December 23, 2012. Respondents in the latest governance poll conducted by NOIPolls for the month of December 2014 rated President Goodluck Jonathan poorly in terms of power supply. http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/power-supply-drops-to-2880mw/ |
mzilakazi:5 years away from 100. |
overhypedsteve:No movie COULD BE WRITTEN ABOUT a Nigerian hero cause there's none. You become a hero, then the stories and movies and books follow. You have no one to immortalise. Absolutely no one. The world could have immortalised your heroes for you, if you had some, but that simply can't be done. If you inspire generations, you will be immortalised. But Nigeria inspires no one. Nigerians don't have heroism in their genes. Only cowardice. The green and white is a flag of cowards. There's a reason why Nigerian soldiers run from the enemy. They never saw any Nigerian being courageous to the point of inspiring the world.

ChukwuCantDie:Nigeria couldn't even make a SINGLE movie about a UNIVERSAL hero. Not a single book could be written. Not a single Nigerian soldier could be motivated to die for Nigeria based on what heroes gone by have done. Nigerians only know cowardice and running from principle. Which is why they could sell fellow Africans into slavery, sell out Palestine, breed soldiers that run from Boko Haram... Yet, South Africa is spoilt or choice. Heroes galore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNmAcgdO2Ck |
overhypedsteve:Yes, like Palestine who are all over the world....as refugees. Soooo many heroes in South Africa, the list could even leave Mandela out. Martin Luther King jnr is a hero to all because heroes give birth to love and forgiveness ans freedom. Something Nigeria knows nothing about, since all your have are insurgencies and coups and civil wars. You have no hero. Not even one universal. You simply have nothing. Peter Gabriel singing about the UNIVERSAL hero, Steve Biko. The father of black consciousness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgM-1r0X5Zc Nigeria is a ship adrift bra. No one at the bridge. No one at the lighthouse. |
overhypedsteve:Then why would you even bother to post about something on a military forum, which you don't expect military enthusiast to understand? Man, why conclude that I won't understand something and then go on to explain it? That's insanity. You are just hurt that you are being showed up. Best interests, you say? Yeah, when a coward runs, he is acting in his best interests. Not on principle. Cowards know nothing about principle. They just want to be safe, which is in their best interest. Up until that call from Netanyahu to Jonathan, Nigeria was expected to vote for Palestine, as it has always been known to be with Palestine. But no, because Israel has attempted to keep the cowards of Nigeria safe from Boko Haram, the cowards threw principle out the window and went in with Israel and the US. Even abstain, did the cowards. No ability for them to think on their own, since they can't defeat Boko Haram on their own. Saved the US from having to veto, they did. The same US that is putting them to the sword on oil and such. What a loser nation. Cowards like no one has ever seen before. They stood on the edge of change and chickened out. |

Only a Nigerian would honour cowardice like that. That's why the people that you praise are not universal heroes. You all produce cowards.
