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.

Agents of the Nigerian Intelligence Agency working in South-Africa sent back intelligence data to Nigeria.

We know everything you do, we aren't at war with South-Africa, yet we have full access to your security architecture.

Intelligence provided by Nigeria was used to detain and prosecute okah. Not the other way around dummy.

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.

Nope, he did not say you did, Jonathan said intelligence reports from South Africa, not your Southie government report, there are 500,000 Nigerians in South Africa, plus a Nigerian embassy with military men and intelligence agents working from inside South Africa. Nigerian network of intel inside South Africa saved Jonathan. American CIA is in South Africa, they can get information and send it to Obama to save him.
That is how countries work in espionage circles

You don't know who saved Nigerians from military rule, it was Nigerians themselves, NADECO coalition led by Nobel prize winner Prof. Soyinka and the EMINENT NIGERIANS G34 group led by Ex-Vice President Ekwueme, those are the two forces (Apart from individual Nigerians, the masses, and giant activists like Chief Gani Fawahinmi the legal luminary)

History records the truth....South African and ALL South African are missing on the list, they did NOTHING for Nigeria grin grin

Since South Africa has NO SINGLE concrete achievement done for Africa, and you are desperate to find one, please look elsewhere.

Boko Haram's massacre in Nigeria: what happened and why

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

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.

I really Appreciate your effort in replying me. that's genius and a symbol of a great mind.

Nigeria is a country that doesnt have a stable electricity and still maintain the largest Economy in Africa. what about if there's a stable power supply..?
Not Everybody will be given a Sword of honour, correcting you there, King Jaja Of Opobo is not a local celebrity!!! he played an inportant role in the introduction of commerce in west Africa, even tho there has always been trade between West Africa and other countries both within Africa and overseas. trade by barter has been in existence in west Africa right from the world of Nok Culture. JaJa of Opobo was not colonised by the queen, I'll rather talk with my brain rather than my mind. its common among man kind, its not a disease. JaJa Of Opobo died like a soldier with pride and dignity.

My dear brother, Not everybody will be a hero, but anyone can be a legend, if thats what you see as a hero, then i can give you pictures (Not Names or details). One of them believed in the system of Africanism.
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?

"Man, you wanna talk about someone who was colonised by queen victoria and then awarded a sword of honour as a colonial subject?" Of everything you ever said on this forum this is the only thing I agree with. No Nigerian or African should be happy about receiving anything other than reparations along with millions of severed European heads on a plate for what was done to our lands.

Other than that you need to admit you are still being ruled over by the whites you only have had independence for 20 years but you think we are the cowards? You people are stup1d. What did Mandela do for blacks other than making all South Africans blacks look like submissive cowards.
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.

THE people of South Africa are learning to live in the
dark. Their beleaguered power utility, Eskom, is unable
to meet electricity demand and in November
reintroduced a tortuous schedule of rolling blackouts
known as “load shedding”. South Africans now check
electricity reports that read like weather forecasts: “There is a medium probability of load shedding today
and tomorrow, with a higher probability on Thursday
and Friday,” said a recent Eskom tweet. Newspapers
print survival tips and “load shedder recipes” for food
you can prepare without electricity. And there are
bleak jokes aplenty. “Q: What did South Africa use before candles? A: Electricity.” The power cuts are hurting an already stagnant
economy, estimated to have expanded by just 1.4% in
2014. Both big industry and small businesses are
feeling the pinch. Meanwhile Eskom has warned that
the blackouts could drag on for months, perhaps even
years, as it struggles with a maintenance backlog and a barrage of technical problems at its ageing power
stations. There are delays in bringing new capacity
online, particularly at Medupi, a heralded new coal-
fired plant whose completion has been endlessly
postponed.

so yes.. Nigeria has no heroes but great men who also took part in freeing your so called heroes from their apartheid dungeons.
You do need heroes, you just don't have any.

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.

Please, am here with peace, ur free to attack my post not my integrity. Nigeria has produce a lot of heroes that made the heart of Africa the Giant of black Nation. As I am too proud of my self, I won't go into details, But ur free to challenge the definition of Heroism.. There was a king which is more of an important figure than any man of the 19/20th century any Afrikaan ever produced. King JaJa of Opobo:- the most important man in modern Afrika. (Cookey 1974). Most powerful Afrikan figure (Rotimi and Ogen 2008).. Awarded the sword of honor 1875 by queen Victoria. He was the most popular man in Africa even until the Nigeria independence, he was praised for his courage

Nana Olomu:- Richest man on The continent,respected for fighting for the political sovereignty of his people, and uniting victims of slave trade, and among those who created the Freetown, Sierra Leone (Oginni 1971)
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? lipsrsealed Only a Nigerian would honour cowardice like that. That's why the people that you praise are not universal heroes. You all produce cowards.

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.

the definition of heroism is very clear. Mandela is not a universal hero. He is just a celebrated political figure that represent the black struggle in south Africa. His career almost ended when he was thrown in prison but with pressure from countries like Nigeria on the apartheid regime. He was released and quickly flew to Nigeria to say thank you.
Excerpts from the transcript of the conversation between mandela and the nigerian head of state on the occasion of his visit to Nigeria.
mandela sir i came to say thank you for your constant visit and support to me while i was in prison, the homemade nigerian delicacies you brought for me during each of your visits were delicious i am also here to thank you for helping to free me from that disgusting prison. I am really happy sir and i would like to tell you that i am unwilling to go back to south Africa. I like it here sir. Your people are free to move around, they are happy and could you believe it? The jet i entered was driven by a black nigerian pilot, up until now i never knew a black man could fly a plane, back in south Africa black men are not even allowed to ride a bicycle. Pls sir don't let me go back to that acursed place, i like it here. Just give me a piece of land let me start a farm, i saw some beautiful nigerian ladies on my way i can pick one of them and change my name to Nelson oluwabumi Dela, but please sir anything you do. don't send me back to south Africa.
reply from the nigerian HOS lol. Mandela why are you crying like a biatch! Sit up and let me read out the nigerian agenda for south Africa to you. Nelson mandela as much as we would like to naturalize you in our country, we as a country Nigeria cannot just sit back and watch the injustice being played out on the blacks in south Africa. We believe we have a Godgiven responsibility to ensure that the whole of the black race is free from all forms of oppression by reason of our size and might. Mandela you must go back to south Africa, you must sing to them the message of hope, tell them that their rich black friends are with them, tell them that we will never sleep till the shackles of apartheid is taken away from every square inch of south Africa and the whole of Africa. Mandela go back home we re watching you. Now here are so condoms pls take it, cus we wont like to work with an HIV infected freedom fighter.
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.

When you said movies about our heroes do you mean just like the way you snap pictures of your special forces creeping around malls and parking lots at peace time, pretending to be movie grade commandos? And mind you Mr man. Mandela is not a universal heroe he is just a political figure representing the poor and presently oppressed and sideline blacks of south Africa. Mandela barely saved himself so why will he be a universal hero. For all we know mandela could have svcked the d1ck of one of his prison guards while in prison, so is this the man you call a universal hero? Mandela is a joke.
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.

It shows the true reality of SA, the whites run the show, they only spoke Xhosa/Zulu for about 10 seconds in the whole film but it had a full afrikaans section and the blacks were only shown when they went to the dirty Soweto shack city and when they were in the streets protesting about their pathetic lives under the rule of their white masters. Very realistic movie I recommend it to everyone here.
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.

Nigerians Own Africa. They are in more places in Africa than citizens of any other African country can boast of. They will go wherever they deem fit regardless of whatever you think. Mandela used black south Africa as a bargaining chip to buy himself freedom. No matter how much you celebrate him, he still remains a fraud. The whites wont elk you that, because he was a hero to them too. He helped them retain ownership of the mines and other properties.
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.

Nigeria is a ship adrift bra. No one at the bridge. No one at the lighthouse.

i do not expect a common military enthusiast like you to understand the intricacies involved in foreign policy making. I have watched you distort history, upturn facts and make fictitious claims but my best advice to you is that you stay away from the grounds of foreign policy analysis.
Nigeria owes no obligation to anyone in the making of her foreign policy. She acted in her interest and only time will tell why this was.
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.
