Saffers,the bolded if true is confirmation of what I said earlier:
Where the actual eff do ragged desert dwellers get such intel and materiel? A thousand fighters with RPGs and Hilux mounted GPMGs deep in Nigeria? BH is a proxy army not a guerrilla force! There was talk of the country splitting up in 2015,doubtless it was an AngloZionist predictive programming measure.
I reiterate,the day Saffers reject their mandated roles in the NWO they'll suffer similar 'homegrown' terror,maybe worse if the internal societal dysfunctions as defined by the media are real.

Ok, let's work with your theory, then. Who controls BH? "Western" is broad.

A Biafran war was nothing but a bloody civil war no where near being modern at all and instead majority of people lost their lives through butchery than being shot at.

Don't forget starvation. That war was so imbalanced it was closer to genocide.

You know, when you are dealing with a girlfriend who doesn’t have her story together, whose life is a mess, you have headaches everyday. Countries that deal with Nigeria will soon find out that Nigeria is that type of girlfriend.

Thiza:
The terrorists arrived suddenly at 4:00 p.m. that ill-fated Wednesday, November 5, catching the Nigerian soldiers and their commanders off-guard. As they invaded the headquarters of the 174 Battalion, Abadan Local Government Area of Borno State, located close to the Nigerian border with Niger, the Boko Haram insurgents, in hundreds, began to shoot sporadically in all directions.

According to witnesses, the terrorists were led into the battalion headquarters by insurgents bearing a number of Rocket Propelled Grenades (a shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon) and machine guns mounted on Hilux vans. Other insurgents, bearing AK-47 rifles, followed behind, shooting and chanting "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar" (May God be praised).

For minutes, the attackers were repelled by Nigerian soldiers who returned fire, and at some point, appeared to be gaining the upper hand, our sources said.

But the troops capitulated shortly after more insurgents advanced on the camp from several directions, hurling grenades at them and shooting non-stop, our sources said. The soldiers fled the scene as it became clear they were less armed and prepared for battle.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201411130220.html

Several Nigerian soldiers who took part in the fighting have narrated how Boko Haram secured yet again another victory over government forces, a defeat they blamed on their arms and the morale of the fighting force.

Boko Haram has seized many towns and communities in recent months, sacking security facilities while soldiers flee, in what appears the worst defeat yet for the Nigerian military since the insurgents launched a bloody campaign in 2009.

The 174 Battalion, which was moved from its Lagos base to the Nigerien border in Nigeria's bid to rev up the war against the extremist Boko Haram sect, had over 300 soldiers. Over a thousand insurgents attacked the troops, witnesses said.

Before long, military insiders said, the soldiers began to abandon the battle in droves, throwing away their uniforms and yielding their arms to the terrorists. The terrorists followed in pursuit as majority of the soldiers and officers fled across the border into neighbouring Niger where some of them were hospitalized.

A yet unknown number of soldiers were killed; some declared missing while several others were injured, our sources said.

After the Nigerian soldiers fled, military officials said, the Boko Haram insurgents ransacked the camp, looting the battalion armoury and offices.

"They went away with every weapon we had," one of the soldiers who partook in the battle told PREMIUM TIMES. "RPGs, armoured tanks, rifles, ammunition, I mean everything. As we are now, we have nothing. They have gone away with everything."

He added, "We were simply overpowered. They were far more in number and the weapons they carried were far more than what we had. They could have finished all of us if we hadn't fled."

The spokesperson of the Defence Headquarters, Chris Olukolade, did not answer or return calls seeking comment for this story.

But a top military commander, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the matter, confirmed the incident to PREMIUM TIMES.

"I can't confirm to you that it happened but we have managed to bring back the soldiers to Nigeria," the general said. "The matter is being investigated."

He blamed the incident on cowardice by soldiers of the battalion saying, "Initially, they were talking of weapons. But the weapons have started arriving. The problem now is the mentality of our soldiers. A lot of them are just cowards and should not have been recruited into the Army in the first place. The fact is if you don't have the mentality of a soldier, you can't fight a battle no matter the sophistication of your arm."

The November 5 attack on the battalion was the second on the formation by Boko Haram. On August 4, 2013, the insurgents attacked the battalion, killing 15 soldiers and wounding several others.

Before the November 5 attack, some soldiers of the battalion had told PREMIUM TIMES their morale was at an all-time low.

"A lot of us have been here for more than two years without being allowed to see our family," one soldier said "We were to be here for six months but we have now been abandoned here for two years. We are missing our families and our morale is zero. Some of us are even considering going on AWOL (away without official leave)."

Yes, general. Call your soldiers cowards (which they are though) and hope that this will boost their morale, so that they will be willing to die for you. What a crap general.

If you had the anti-tank missiles, you would have used them. You aren't exactly winning, so it's not like you can afford to leave a useful weapon out of service.

mzilakazi:
My friend let us cut this shot. Nigeria does not have operational anti-tank missile. They are desperate for mass firepower and could have used it if there was any, finito

"End of" right here.

mzilakazi:
BH defeat Nigerian army yet again and loot all their weapons in their base.



http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/171062-exclusive-boko-haram-sacks-entire-nigerian-army-battalion-confiscates-all-arms-ammunition.html

I won't even read the link "at this time". This has become a daily occurrence.

mzilakazi:
Why is it that the very Nigeria does not have sophisticated weapons to fight BH? They are now crying foul to America blaming them for their failure to defeat the insurgents. Nigeria was at ease, deep in a relaxed mood all this while by failing to maintain their equipment. Do you know that missiles have to be maintained and surely it could be without any doubt that Nigeria has been failing to do this exercise regularly. Chief, I stand by my words having collected some vital intelligence that Nigeria has a serious crisis as far as anti-tank weapons is concerned. Any military in Africa will sweep Nigeria while they are still in this current situation.

Why?

Very simple. Nigeria's procurement funds (where available) never reach the seller. I agree with you, Nigeria has no operational anti-tank missiles, if at all, otherwise we would've seen them by now.

You know, I was thinking -

The official story from the Nigerian military about the jet that crashed is that "we are still looking for it". That story never changed. It is funny when I see posts here complaining about "terrorist propaganda".

That's all.

agaugust:
South African army radio recordings of South African propaganda.

Why don't you record the Cuban killings of SADF Olifant tanks and Ratels ?
.

Yeah, because the soldiers knew that one day there was gonna be a debate with one Augubu-Mubi.

Quite right.

mzilakazi:
Bihari is the best leader though. I think only on the security arena but not on the aspects of economy.

But the security arena has started affecting the economy. Well, that and silly "threats" to other countries.

CBN intervention fails to halt naira slide as investors exit Nigerian debt

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intervened with $200 million sales on Monday but failed to lift the naira which fell by about 1.4 percent to close at N168.10 against the greenback, dealers said as foreign investors continued to exit Nigerian assets.

The unit closed at N165.90 against the dollar on Friday.

Foreign investors are exiting naira denominated assets as the twin spectre of a hit to oil companies and bank earnings and potential devaluation of the naira or depletion of reserves weigh on sentiment.

“There is a risk that the current oil-price weakness and deteriorating exchange rate outlook will translate into further foreign selling of Nigerian debt. Fixed income portfolio outflows have gathered pace over the past few weeks, probably reaching around $ 700-800mn since mid-October,” said Standard Chartered analysts led by Samir Gadio, Head of the banks Africa Strategy and FICC Research.

Foreign holdings of Nigerian debt fell to around $8.5bn in June ($ 4bn in T-bills and $4.5bn in bonds) from $ 11bn in December 2013, according to data from Standard Chartered.

A further $10bn worth of Nigerian equities is held by foreign investors, Standard Chartered says.

Nigerian equities have lost N2.3 trillion in market capitalisation since October 10, data compiled by BusinessDay show.

The CBN has attempted to stem the decline in the naira with recent policy changes.

The CBN on Thursday directed forex demand for the importation of finished goods, electronics, IT, Telecoms equipment, generators, and invisible transactions to the interbank market and away from the official window, which offers forex at a considerable lower rate.

The apex bank also placed a cap on bank deposits that earn interest in the Standing Lending Facility at N7.5 billion.

This cap will result in banks diverting funds to Treasury bills, putting further downward pressure on yields and making the T- bills less attractive to foreign investors, analysts say, adding that a devaluation of the currency may be on the cards.

“Chronicling Nigeria’s macro-economic variables such as crude oil price, political events, security concerns in the North East, Foreign Portfolio Investors’ sentiment, amongst others, devaluation of the local currency is definitely imminent; the question is when it would be,” said Oladipupo Dauda, an analyst at Investment – One financial services Ltd.

“While it might be a tough call to take on devaluation barely three months to the general election, it seems it is the astute thing to do at this point in time, considering the haemorrhaging effect uncertainty around the local currency forces on the financial markets…an adjustment in the FX band is much needed to bring some calm to the markets going into the November 25th meeting.”

Rising long – end bond yields (up by an average of 100-150bps from August lows) suggest that market players and investors are increasingly worried about the re-pricing of the curve likely to be triggered by pressure on the exchange rate, said Gadio.

“Given asymmetric risks to bond yields, there is little incentive to remain at the long end of the curve, considering the duration-compounded losses that are likely to materialise,” Gadio said.

Spoils of war my friend, spoils of war.

Let's not forget that yesterday, we were made to look at a picture of an armoured vehicle 'captured from BH'.

What's with the demands for "one-sidedness"?

Bla bla bla.
It's nothing but a cheap propaganda video.

It wasn't made on the moon though and that's not toy equipment.

For the photos i've demanded, have you provided any?

The weakness in this post though.

Unless these people are riding on the moon, this video is the business.

mzilakazi:
Nigeria blame America for their failure to defeat BH. They blame it all on America as if it is only where sophisticated weapons can be procured. America has reasons for denying their association with Nigerian military due to their history of abusing human rights of suspects of BH. Nigeria cannot deny that their military is carrying out summary executions on innocent people, since it also has happened now of late.


http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/170879-nigeria-blasts-america-says-u-s-has-let-nigeria-down-in-war-against-boko-haram.html

They blame what?

mzilakazi:
People I think this discussion should come to an end. Troops have fled again as usual leaving the town to be captured without any resistance after their bid to recapture Mubi. As usual when they try to recapture something they only end up losing more. Civilians assert that fleeing soldiers were asking for a hike from their vehicles. Some were so frightened to the level of asking them private clothes to wear so that they can disguise in a bid to fool BH and they even discarded their weapons in the bush.

How could such cowards ever face SANDF? People I am closing the book " Nigeria does not have a military at all" Burundi will scatter Nigerian military to run in disarray and give them a knock for their money.

Boko Haram Captures Maiha Town In Adamawa

BY MOHAMMED ISMAIL
— Nov 11, 2014 | 2 Comments

Less than 24 hours to President Goodluck Jonathan’s declaration of intent to vie for another term of office, Maiha town – the administrative headquarters of Maiha Local Government – has been overrun by Boko Haram insurgents.

Maiha town is about 25 kilometres from Mubi town that was captured about two weeks ago and about 200km from Yola, the state capital.

Even before the town fell under the control of the Boko Haram insurgents, it had been rendered a ghost of its self as commercial and social activities were paralyzed as a result of mass exodus of people from the town occasioned by annexation of Mubi.

[size=14pt]Fleeing residents of the captured town said they saw many soldiers running away from the area, with some of them begging the fleeing residents to give them a ride in their vehicles.
[/size]
“The insurgents started trooping into the town around 6pm and started firing shots into the area as soldiers, who had advanced to the area in their bid to recapture Mubi, started running away, allowing the insurgents to capture the town,” a resident, Mr John Paul, said.

Another fleeing resident, Mr Mahmud Garba [Note - this is a witness, people], said some of the fleeing soldiers had b[b]egged him to assist them with civilian clothes[/b] in order not to be spotted by the insurgents.

[size=14pt]“The fleeing soldiers asked us to give them our clothes so that they can camouflage and escape from the area safely as some of them had discarded their weapons in the bush. A lot of the discarded weapons are currently lying in the bush,” Garba said.[/size]

Garba noted that just like when they captured Mubi, the insurgents did not face any resistance from the Nigerian troops.

“The insurgents did not encounter any challenge as they stormed the town in APCs and Toyota Hilux vans, firing shots into different directions as they chanted songs of victory. Many of the residents fled into the bush. Some of them are feared killed by stray bullets. The insurgents also hoisted their flags in strategic places in the town,” Garba noted.

We are fighting a religious war against Islamic extremists, and we have about 100,000 Nigerian military men and officers who are faithful to Islamic religion, what do you expect, trust every soldier? No.
.

That's an explanation of why your case is hopeless. The reasons don't matter to me. What matters is that your systems aren't working, as confirmed by you. You clearly confirm that your soldiers can't trust each other. That's hopeless.

So, don't give us (in other posts) the impression that you are an organised military fighting as a cohesive unit. You clearly have confirmed that as a result of your being disorganised, some of your men side with the enemy. To the point of ensuring that the enemy has access to your equipment and God knows what else.

a knock on the door, sure its donations again .. will be back boys, 'laiyer'

LOL - announcing non-existent knocks on doors. Run along, you illegal parasite.

you're going off key again boy .. speak english

You could always point out the part that's not English. But you'd first have to cut my hair before you start pointing at things.

I'm human, I can't stand saffers cry if I refuse them

You are human, but you are also a shelter-seeking illegal, who is under the wing of South Africans every waking moment of his life.

I'm feeding you in your own country, so I can do what ever I like... plus give you sweet beating if need be

The bolded. Exactly!

Not even laws (tax laws, immigration laws or otherwise) could stop you.

You do whatever you like because you come from a land like that.

See what I mean when I say all the illegals from your part of the world sound like you?

iterator25:
I'm feeding you in your own country, so I can do what ever I like... plus give you sweat beating if need be

You are not in a position to feed anyone. Your modus operandi is parasitus suckustus.

iterator25:
the black scuum asking for donations and 'food droplets' feeding me? well ....

You are not in a position to donate anything. Yours is to marvel at South African electricity and roads that you can walk on without breaking your toes. Yours is to see what the next thing or south african that you can suck something from is. It's not like you left a legacy in Nigeria anyway. You left because there was nothing that you could suck there.

agaugust:
Good you admit South Africans are finding better life in Nigeria. Nice one.

Nigerians too are living off you and repatriating earnings to Nigeria. Simple
.

Of course they are building a better life for themselves OFF Nigerians (not in Nigeria) by collecting money and sending it to South Africa.

You could always list Nigerian parastatals in SA, like you listed SA parastatals in Nigeria, which parastatals BUILD Nigeria into a more civilised place. And druglords don't count.

iterator25:
no, the black scuums are parasites, from bbee to land grab .. to 'donations' etc

They are feeding you and exposing you to a better quality of life. So if they are parasites, then you are their excrement, seeing as you have willingly run to their land and suck the life out of it having failed to contribute towards the building of yours.

iterator25:
no, the black scuums are parasites, from bbee to land grab .. to 'donations' etc

The black scum are feeding you, so if they are parasite then you are their excrement, seeing as you suck the life out of their land after having failed to contribute towards the building of yours.

All the South Africans in MTN, Stanbic Bank, SASOL oil, Shoprite etc all ran away to Nigeria to live a better life with us

They are living better lives OFF you and repatriating earnings to South Africa. Where are their primary listings?

iterator25:
black scuums boasting of her colonial masters achievements.. boast of ingwe pre 94 and get locked up lol..

But the black scum are feeding you today and you have left your land to seek shelter in their land. Post-1960, you found NOTHING to keep you in Nigeria and PLENTY to keep you in South Africa, as an illegal immigrant.

agaugust:
Show Nigerian army superiority over SANDF because....

South African army has NEVER and will NEVER be able to celebrate what was theirs in the first place

.

So, you aren't denying that in your own country, BH can seize your equipment? Cause posting the Seleka pic doesn't address the bolded.

So, why shouldn't we look at your military as a symbol of ridicule?

And Nigerians, please stop this archaic thing of going "she" and "her" when referring to countries. It's old and tired. I beg you.
