In the beautiful and ever peaceful South Africa things seem to be getting even better? And you'd think this is happening regularly in Cape Town where the provincial government has called severally on the national government of South Africa to deploy the military?

I just dey look una dey laugh!

NaijaPikinGidi: Idiots should look more within their block heads to see why they are idiots! Very poor effort at being funny or smart. More like a stupid effort at being stupid. At least your report made it clear that our Police officer is smarter than all you 33%ers . That goat surely resembles the low-life that posted the image! SA Police ... the only Police establishment with a Supernatural Crime Division !

Now see below for your SA Police and Tokoloshes. Task team wasting more taxpayers cash investigating witchcraft and tokoloshes while Nigeria Police Force secures and maintains the peace around the world. South Africa!!

Police to investigate tokoloshe spirits and vampires

18 October 2012 | Tereasa Ferrari

A leaked police document reveals police will be having a task team in the province to deal with occult related crimes.

NELSPRUIT - It's the season of Halloween parties and be careful that you are not arrested in your rented costume. Police will now be investigating witches and vampires. This came to light after a leaked official police document was circulated on the internet about a new police occult task team in the country.

According to the document the police will nominate two policemen per province to investigate occult-related crime. The document also states that these transgressions are usually committed in secrecy and expert knowledge is required to solve them.
National police spokesman Col Tummi Shai said the leaked document was an authentic official letter that was distributed from the office of the divisional commissioner of the detective service.

Police will investigate astral coercion and vampirism, the practice of voodoo, curses intended to cause harm, spiritual intimidation and witchcraft-related offences. "Tokoloshe spirit rape" and poltergeist phenomena will also be investigated.

Mpumalanga police spokesman Col Leonard Hlathi said two detectives in the province had been appointed to assist police in cases involving this type of crime. He said the team had been given specialised training in investigating occult-related matters.

Yet many sources in the police force believe the money spent on the training for the above-mentioned task team could have been used more effectively in other areas.

“Drug-related crime is up by 87% since the South African Narcotics Bureau (Sanab) was shut down in 2004,” said one source. During the year that the bureau was disbanded, the SAPS had reported 62 689 cases (2003/04) but that figure reflected an increase of more than 117 172.

He added that he believed the money could have been spent on training a new narcotics task team.

Henry120: Yh, I thought so to.

CraigB: You are a bozzo- you and Parrot. It's pretty obvious both you Okwonkwo s are in way over your heads.

You didn't sleep last night trying to work out how you were going to redeem yourself, but you still come up with garbage.

Funny that you seem to have "followed" me, yet you'd previously argued I was insignificant to you. And then as if to solidify your position as the main bozzo, you even itemise your lack of understanding for all to see.

Where you say covenant, you quote a 1992 document. Rubbish, idi*ot. The only applicable document is the resolution attached below, which you and your fellow Okwonkwo, Parrot (I mean Patriot) had no clue even existed. Parrot's document is not a covenant, you ape . It's a bloodie explanatory note - dated 1992! So that's not a correction. That's a lost monkey trying to lecture.

Now tell me if the resolution (attached below) does not authorise AFISMA? Tell me that. This is the only foundation for the mission.. There is no other. Without the resolution, there is no mission to Mali. This is a UN mission, in terms of which they authorise AFISMA to act as a tool.

Such a Nigerian clown.

Oh, by the way - about your world class police: Is it world class to arrest goats?

When said behind a super harsh insult, it makes it seem like its okay.

Can also be used as an awesome come back and make the insulter feel like a slowpoke.

Said with much emphasis.
Damn, Johnny you are such an idiot! God bless your soul.
Liz is such a two-faced hoe. God bless her soul.
Wow, what a dick. God bless her soul.

----------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER ------------------------------------------------------------


I wish to apologize to all members and visitors who have taken their time to read and contribute in their own various capacity to this very topic for all the inconveniences my misleading information must have caused.

The information I earlier provided regarding the Nigeria's F-7NI and South Africa's SAAB JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets costs is totally fallacious and was based on what I earlier collected from a partial view of ample ideas surrounding both fighter jets posted by a particular member in this forum. I thought the right cost for F-7NI Nigeria's fighter jet was quoted to be in the range of 34 -35 million dollars and the South Africa's SAAB JAS 39 Gripen Jet to be 40 - 65 million dollars given the slim difference in prices. I have held to that going by my earlier argument. The error was as a result of my refusal to conduct exhaustive search on reviews by experts in the field and aberrant refusal to listen to others.

I must admit I allowed myself to be taken unaware and it has caused me the very huge error in my comments. On that very ground, I would now have to quit the thread while I still post in other areas I am much more familiar with and have enough facts to support my arguments.

Before I would finally call it a day, I would like to thank those who have taken their time to provide helpful information on African military.

1. Augugust, sir. You have been the most informed person on the Nigeria military and equipment, with great insight in military strategy, weapon procurement, reviews on hardware specifications and plans for future activities. I must say at this point I admire your reviews with all enthusiasm. You are an outstanding individual with good military related information background. Please, keep up the nice work.

2. AndrewZa(with different monikers),sir. Your contributions cannot be ignored. You have provided a vast array of views to what South African military has to offer,provided data with prudence in cutting down on size and on military budget, present military equipment available, arms production and sale, etc. There were times you aired your views from a patriotic sideline though has not nullified every of your
contributions.

3. Bcraig, sir. You have added nothing from the expert perspective. There was no way the information you provided was always correct. I must admitted you were like me for admitting a non-professional background in military hardware and reviews. Thanks for your pain-in-the-a$$ comments, they were easy to sail through and refreshing to find out you were more on the patriotic side of the argument - almost becoming an element of troll. Learn to post as a matured individual.

To the others and my humble self, I would want to say we have seen South African military been overrated beyond necessary, although, with the capacity to produce and display well polished military hardware. I have to say at this point that Nigeria is truly the GIANT of Africa(either sleeping or awake). It has been to many troubled countries to help and keeping peace, grant monetary assistance to those going through financial problems, fought for the rights of Africans,just to mentioned but a few. The areas where it has proven to be ahead of South Africa's military in a wide margin.

After much decry over my posts by members of the forum, I wish to call it a day and leave it to those who are experts in the field. Those who have something useful to contribute.

On the final note, I am not going to post on this thread again. I would take this as a complete failure on my side and for the short-sightedness patriotism has caused me in this particular error.

Long live the federal republic of Nigeria, the true GIANT of Africa. Long live Nairaland. Long live South Africa


Thank you all.


P.S. I was told without the armament and some other features that SAAB JAS 39 Gripen can cost less than the 40 -65 million dollar range. I don't know how truthful that information is.

CraigB: You id*ot !!! Do you not know that Naai-ra-land changes r*ape to "molestation". You followed the wrong link, dummy ! What a monkey. You need to change "molestation' to r*ape and the link will work.

But don't worry, here's the text! Works just fine, sorry

Oh, I've bit lyd the link for you seeing as you are hapless, like a true Naai-gerian. Have a look at your molesting soldiers

Nigerian commission: Credible reports troops kill, torture, rape civilians in Islamic uprising
Published June 29, 2013Associated Press
LAGOS, NIGERIA – Nigeria's National Human Rights Commission said Sunday it has credible reports security forces are killing, torturing, illegally detaining and raping civilians in a fight to halt an Islamic uprising in northeast Nigeria that has killed nearly 2,000 people since 2010.

A report by the commission said troops retaliating against civilians have torched homes and tried to hide evidence of gross violations by disposing of bodies.

In the most egregious case, where troops went on a rampage in several villages after a soldier was killed in mid-April in the fishing village of Baga, it quoted police as saying soldiers "started shooting indiscriminately at anybody in sight including domestic animals. This reaction resulted to loss of lives and massive destruction of properties."

The military said 36 people were killed, most of them extremist fighters. Witnesses told the AP at the time that some 187 civilians were killed.

The commission said the killings also came after militants had ransacked an armory, with subsequent reports indicating the extremists enjoyed an increase in the caliber and quantity of weapons and "had become both more organized and emboldened by their apparent successes despite the enhanced security presence."

That contradicted military reports that they have taken control of the region in a military emergency covering thee states and one-sixth of the sprawling country. Instead, they appear to have pushed the fighters into rocky mountains with caves where it is more difficult to flush them out. The extremists regularly attack towns and villages.

The commission, a government body, issued an interim report saying it would finalize it when its investigators are able to visit the area where soldiers have cut mobile phone and Internet connections. A state of emergency was declared May 14 when the government said extremists from the Boko Haram terrorist group had taken control of some towns and villages.

The insurgency poses the biggest threat in years to security in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation of 160 million and the continent's biggest oil producer.

Communities trapped between the Islamic militants and the security forces "reportedly live in desperate fear and destitution," the commission said.

It warned of an imminent public health emergency and food shortages because farmers have been forced from their fields.

Food prices have nearly trebled, the commission said, with a 50-kilogram (110-pound) sack of rice selling for up to 18,000 naira ($112.50) from 7,000 naira ($44).

Some medical experts from the region have reported a notable upsurge in sudden deaths, heart attacks and aneurysms, it said.

Northeast Nigeria already presents "the worst statistics of human development in Nigeria generally," it said.

Maternal mortality rates were three times the national average of 545 deaths for every 100,000 live births, and reports reaching the commission suggest the emergency has even more mothers dying in childbirth.

Northeast Nigeria is the poorest region in the country, with government statistics indicating 75 percent of the population lives from hand to mouth on less than $1 a day.

The commission's interim findings corroborated AP reports from the region. Militants who began by targeting government personnel and health workers — they preach that Western religion and medicine are forbidden — are increasingly targeting civilians in attacks on schools and vaccination campaigns.

"The Commission equally received several credibly attested allegations of gross violations by officials of the JTF (joint task force of police and military), including allegations of summary executions, torture, arbitrary detention amounting to internment and outrages against the dignity of civilians, as well as rape," the rights commission said.

"In particular, we have received persistent and credibly attested allegations of indiscriminate disposal of dead human remains by personnel of both the JTF and the Borno State Environmental Protection Agency."

The military and presidential spokesmen did not respond to requests for comment.

Frendys: I hardly respond to political comments but I can't shy away from this.

I had an interview clip where Rt. Hon. Amaechi remarked that " Odili made me." This was a man who was then the Speaker of the state Assembly as at the time he granted that interview. I am still keeping the copy and I proudly tell people where this man come from: He is a man of outstanding charater, humility and loyalty.

He knows what he is saying and is the real truth. He was loyal to Odili till the end and his then Master, Odili, betrayed him. I felt for him because I knew how loyal and dedicated he was to Odili. Yet he forgave Odili at the end.

The only vote I've casted in my life was for Hon. Amaechi and I have no regret whatsoever. And I am not from Rivers State. Even though I left my house for a rented apartment now because of bad road in the my area, Rt. Hon Amaechi is the best thing that has happened to the State in recent time.

What you sow is what you reap. That he is being betrayed by his own people is the persecution that comes with being blessed by God.The truth will always prevail. Keep going forward my Governor!

I teach my daughter the virtue of loyalty and truthfulness

Henards: mr amaechi i like your person and i confess that you have justified the confidence i reposed in you. Stand your ground wella

CraigB: The typical Nigerian retort. They demand proof to substantiate proof.

Your own bloodie agency says the reports are credible.

Don't waste our time. Your soldiers have no morale. Your soldiers molest and kill and they will never be prosecuted. And worse - your soldiers will lose their pensions because you bought too much stuff and forgot that you had to buy groceries too.

CraigB: Suppose Fox, The Associated Press and the Human Rights Commission are not "tested" either.

@all, why is it that there has never being a field marshal in the nigerian army. And also, its equivalent in the navy and airforce?

Have you had a field marshal in SA army before? And also, its equivalent in the navy and airforce?


Do we currently have Generals in the Nigerian army? I ask this becos, Ihejirika is a Lt. General
Hope i am not irritating you with my questions? If i am, then i appologize

all4naija: "Don't feed the troll", they say. You are truly a troll that needn't be fed. I am sure you know what that means. You are now going about attacking Nigerian universities for the simple error that is coming from you using the HDI and Democracy index together to explain what you perceived as jealousy toward various nations as termed progressing in Africa. Please, you need to take your medication as your condition is gradually getting out of hand.

Still, the high Ghanaian human development index doesn't make any different than merely a record on paper. This is the same Ghana that relies heavily on Nigerian gas supply and want to parley with Nigeria in the ECOWAS for every issue. You must be dreaming to be comparing irrelevant Ghana to Nigeria, my friend.

Rhino.5dm:
Stop taking drugs to that country. If you are in foreign land, obey their local laws and engage in legitimate business. Kenyans, South Africans, Ghanaians, Malaysians, Indians can't just hate Nigerians for the sake of hate.

zetdee: Another drug deal gone wrong.

Fynline: Morning Friends...my little way of celebrating the ressurection of the thread!

BCraig: HDI is but one indicator. Ghana - much better on some others and despite its small size is on par with Nigeria on others.

You should be ashamed being given a run for your money by Ghana:

South Africa, Ghana, Kenya Most Preferred African Retail Markets: Barclays

Posted on April 8, 2013 10:47 am under Business, Retail & Manufacturing

VENTURES AFRICA – A research recently published by Barclays Bank UK has revealed South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya as the top three most preferred African countries for British retail businesses planning to expand.

BCraig: Just have a look at the HDI picture above. That's all you need to know.

Ghana is better than Nigeria.

BCraig: Read the link. Ghana's better and more stable. All of Africa can learn from Ghana.

I'm glad you think I wasn't sounding immature before. Why, thank you All4Naija

BCraig: Ghana is the most stable democracy in the whole continent. Nigeria is one of the worst. That's a fact.
