sirjerry:
What?your country is the highest recipent of foreign aid in the whole of africa, you brg for everything in your life. Your citizen depends on goverment for survival, millions of black citizens will die of starvation if your government stop some of it program, your national debt is increasing rather than decreasing. The problem with your people are to lazy(even your president comfirm this).

To save us from useless chatter, PROVE that south africa is the biggest recipient of aid in Africa.

I'm telling you now that you won't be able to, so your entire post is a wasted lunch hour if built upon.

That's why I'll go buy some Kauai food in the full knowledge that you will bring no proof.

Henry120:
Pakistan has highlighted further opportunities to export its military equipment to Bahrain and Nigeria.Government statements said that Pakistan is pursuing opportunities for further defence trade and related industrial collaboration with both nations. The government also noted its ability to offer "good offset programmes" to its defence export customers, although did not elaborate.
Following meetings between Pakistan and Nigerian defence officials on 17 March, a statement outlined opportunities to increase defence trade and joint production programmes.
Nigeria is a known target customer for the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 Thunder aircraft, jointly developed by Pakistan and China. It has also previously expressed interest in acquiring Al-Zarrar main battle tanks produced by Heavy Industries Taxila, Kaan 33 fast attack craft constructed by Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works, and a range of firearms.

South African policies help reduce poverty, says World Bank report


SOUTH Africa’s fiscal policies lifted 3.6-million people out of poverty in 2010-11, a World Bank report has found.

The SA Economic Update, released on Tuesday, found that SA’s fiscal policies are cutting the rates of poverty and inequality, and that tax and social benefits are effectively redistributing income from rich to poor.

We find that fiscal policy is very progressive in South Africa — it benefits the poor more than the rich," World Bank economist Catriona Purfield told reporters in Pretoria.

"We find that because of fiscal policy, large reductions are made in poverty and inequality — in fact they are the largest reductions due to fiscal policies in our sample of 12 countries."

The other 11 middle-income sample countries were Armenia, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.

Ms Purfield said the report showed that SA’s tax system was slightly progressive, in that the rich paid a higher share than the poor in income tax and value-added tax.

She said social spending, such as child support and disability grants, old age pensions and free basic services lifted the lowest income from a "tiny" R200 a year, to R2,800 in 2010-11.

"Because of those cash transfers... and free basic services, the poverty rate after receiving those falls to 39% (from 46.2%)," Ms Purfield said.

"That is a reduction of 3.6-million people — you have lifted them above the poverty line thanks to your effective use of fiscal policy."

Yayayayaya!!!! It only clicked on my mind after I have already posted and I was then forced to edit it as it was important to reflect my ideas. LOL!!

Yeah, I got you and you're spot-on!

@Frankenstein came on here because he was "mentioned" when we spoke about the ugly Igirigi

mzilakazi:
Those sub-standards machines are utilised by world superpowers today. The US has plenty of proudly SA made military products and many other countries including Nigeria.

Some posts are not worth responding to.

mzilakazi:
Remember, China offered you a loan to build your infrastructure using their China based companies to carry out such projects. On the other hand Chinese benefit from the loan which they offered you that you still have to repay. What a s,tupid move!!


Meanwhile, SA has moved on from constructing surface railway many years ago before my grandparents were born and now they construct only underground and overhead railway, something you are yet to construct.

We are currently busy rolling out a project to join Johannesburg and Durban on a fast rail on an underground tunnel and overhead rail.

What do you know?! As you did your edit, I was posting about more or less the same thing!

In any case, Nigeria has just received a package, alongside other African countries for infrastructure. Even their flood management project in Ibadan is supported by aid.

sirjerry:
No, there were not, they were armed with mainly AK47 riffles, farmers can't operate "technicals" and yes your men would have laughed considering they are only use to beautiful things, but their laughter would have changed to surprise, then dismay....then fear...then horror.

The battle of Bangui was a uptempo one, with various stages. The Igirigi would have offered no advantage and would have been easily taken out by the SANDF.

mzilakazi:
This igirigiri thing looks more like a finish product of welding built from the back yard.

I can bet my last cent, they had to fit metal casing on some or other random chassis. The casing then took its own frankenstein form

sirjerry:
yes, the igirigi is a beast you would not want to see on the battle field.

Right on, man! It's good that you love your national product lol

SMH at the below...

"The attack in Gombe state began with a gunfight at a military checkpoint on the outskirts of Nafada, where the gunmen overpowered soldiers and police before moving into the town.

Gunmen raid Nigerian town of Nafada in suspected Boko Haram attack

ActivateKruger:
Lol.... this explains why the Nigerian soldiers want to ride outside the igirigi, I mean honestly who wants to be in the belly of such ugliness.

coachroach on wheels.

The proverbial belly of the beast. Igirigi

ActivateKruger:
Lol.. yeah that ugly thing is a product of Mubi town.

When you have a country that has a national budget of a department budget of another country with 3 times less the population, this is bound to happen.

Kwaaaks death by Mubi!

Can you imagine if the Igirigi was a transformer boss?

I'm unable to can.

ActivateKruger:
lol

That little they have ends-up buying junk like that ugly Igirigi thingy.. Good God, what is this thing

Bwahahaha that thing is ugly.

Anyway, look at this from the source:

" Their reason for wanting to kill it is that they, among other things, fear how the scheme would be funded."

They are pleading poverty. No money for welfare.

ActivateKruger:
67% of the Nigerian population living in poverty, handouts is what they need... and no the Nigerian government cannot afford it, your federal government survives on a budget roughly equivalent to South Africa's Education Department national budget.

The nigerian government has been struggling to pass their welfare bill for years.

Talk of welfare is not news in nigeria. They just don't have the Benjamins and the Mandelas.

http://www.nigerianobservernews.com/01112014/features/features7.html#.VFkraopXfCQ

ActivateKruger:
"Free services" are often given out by governments who can afford to... Don't expect such from governments who can't afford, i.e. the Nigerian government.

It's not like Nigeria doesn't aspire to follow South Africa's example anyway. They just don't have the money and the vision.

This all started with a clear story of Nigeria's revenues of $23 bn, which hasn't and can't be denied.

Look at what they are talking about below.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201410221475.html

ActivateKruger:
I literally saw jets and military aircrafts land and takeoff at Waterkloof over the weekend... Do you suggest they were flying on water or air?

It's like magic.

mzilakazi:
SA is the first country in the world to give free National Health Insurance, which Nigeria cannot afford to give to its citizens. The programme itself in SA will cost more than what Nigeria can collect at any financial year.
So, tell me now " who has more money?"

Why the long debate?

It says clearly that nigeria's revenue is $23 bn annually? We have got the answer from the source, now what value does the debate add if it's not disputing the data from the world fact book?!

Meanwhile...


Today the CIA World Factbook points out that 62% of Nigeria’s 170 million people live in extreme poverty. Seventy percent are below the poverty line. Government revenues are $23 billion-plus annually.


THEEEEE POINT!

Die Punt!

See why I don't debate with some people?




The throwing up of hands below.

mzilakazi:
You are suffering from a severe psychological syndrome. Budgets of many countries are a representation of an actual revenues of everything which they have collected in a given financial year. So, please!! stop twisting facts and start to behave like a professional in this particular discourse.

anyway, your source clearly says:

"Today the CIA World Factbook points out that 62% of Nigeria’s 170 million people live in extreme poverty. Seventy percent are below the poverty line. Government revenues are $23 billion-plus annually.

Msauza:
Casualty of hundreds of citizens in Mubi is blamed on soldiers who took to their heels.
http://allafrica.com/stories/201411020053.html

What's new? Nigerian soldiers doing what they do best.

EVarn:
hmm....a more preposterous allegation,i have never heard.hey,be armed with more lies when confronting me in the future.aloha.

You didn't point out a single lie today. You're pathetic.

EVarn:
aand whose behind was battered?,lol,really it must be hurting you so much now.hahaha....

That would be yours. You'll sleep with a sore behind this morning. Next time you'll know to bring grey matter when you see me.

EVarn:
look,i'm going to bed,the lies and violence you displayed today is quite enough for a day,seriously,how do saffers think?!.

Run along, now. Don't let the door bang ya and your beaten up behind.

EVarn:
only illiterate saffers would call terrorists militants.

Yes, the saffer and the rest of the world.

That you're a senseless lunatic is beyond doubt.

As for cowardice, the Nigerian soldiers own it. The run. That's what they do.

EVarn:
you have been deceased months ago.you arent worth posting 'proof'.

Yes, that's why I have you fatigued. Makes sense.

EVarn:
NA respect our soldiers,unlike SANDF who stuff defeated troops into helicopters until its overfull as they take to heels while body of defeated soldiers rain down from the helicopter in the waiting mouths of salivating lions.what militants are talking about?

NA soldiers don't respect themselves. Running from the enemy and embracing cowardice is a lack of self-respect for any soldier.

Nigerian militants? Wonder what that might be.
