That settles it then!

The igirigi is ugly. As to why it's ugly, that's a chat for another day.

To become the best in africa, the nigerian military will first have to learn to not flee from Boko haram. Basics.

it isnt necessary to drive beautiful APCs made out of chocolate cake and decorated with icing-sugar...so far it is effective,i dont see anything wrong with it.afterall,its our first locally made APC.

SANDF killed hundreds of child soldiers until Seleka raised the white flag.

answer me this question?,what does mzilakazi mean?,or dont you know it?

mzilakazi:
Chief, your utterances are nothing but a lie. CIA has professionals carrying doctoral degrees who will never do such a mistake of ranking Gabon's economy above that of Nigeria. It is a simple mathematics of ranking numbers from big to small. However, there is also GDP per capita which Nigeria will obviously rank below Gabon. Make sure you didn't look at the GDP per capita.

nope,i'm sure i checked the GDP,i just cant find the link anymore.

sirjerry:
HAHAHA SANDF actually fought 14 years old kids in bangui.http://www.citypress.co.za/politics/we-ran-out-of-ammo/

how pitiful of a whole SANDF to be "horrified" in the face of adolescents!,it doesnt surprise me,afterall they begged cuban schoolgirls and sweet-eating boys for a cease fire.

@mzilakazi,what does mzilakazi mean?,i kinda like the name,it sounds....what does it mean,you havent answered me.

mzilakazi:
That's untrue. CIA has agents everywhere to collect important geographic information. Most researchers and academics today make use of the information compiled in the world fact book, including institutions such as world bank and IMF. They all make use of information found in the fact book.

i beg to disagree love,the IMF,world bank,AfDB and other socio-economic institution have there own records,from there own personal observation and investigation,why will the IMF and world bank rank nigeria 26th economy in the world{by GDP},and the CIA world 'fact' book rank nigeria as 35th{by GDP},putting gabon well above nigeria and south africa{gabon of all countries}.even bloomberg stated that the economy was 26th,not 35th.and this just one of many wrong 'facts'

ActivateKruger:
A town in another country maybe called a villa in another country. So technically a villa and town maybe the same, it all depends on which side of the fence you reside on.

Dont try swiddling your statement with technicalities that only serves to prove the decay in SA's educational system,what figurative fence are you scaling?

mzilakazi:
Professionally speaking, SA is an NIC, a term coined early in 1970s to refer to the Asian tigers, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.

However, do you know that SA is listed as developed by the CIA world fact book?

CIA world fact book is a documentation of heresays and probabilities.i once took stuff on that website seriously,but i later learnt{the sheepish way} not to take the 'facts' there as actual facts.
PS: what does mzilakazi mean?

mzilakazi:
The problem with Nigerians is that since their country now surpassed SA as an economic power of Africa, they now think Nigeria compares with SA with everything. They fail to understand that SA has always been the king of the continent for many centuries and throughout those years has amassed big infrastructure which cannot be compared to any country in Africa. Such achievement cannot just be outdone by Nigeria overnight. It will take them many years of commitment and that is if SA is standing idle doing nothing.

a fair assessment,but one riddled with half truths.

ActivateKruger:
So how would I read and write if I didn't attend primary school?

Mr, please you're embarrassing Nigeria and her citizens.

so a town and a village are the same?,ah...i remember,you went to a free village school,and by village i mean poo.lol!

mzilakazi:
There you go again. Nigeria is not an NIC. To qualify as an NIC is not easy.

-Constant power supply
-You will have to have infrastructure which Naija does not have currently.
- Well developed industry, which Nigeria only start to develop now
-Well established health facility
-Overall excellent social security, etc.


Nigeria is still struggling to reach all those.

here under is a list of NIC.




- http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newly_industrialized_country

Nigeria and SA are not on the same level of development.

now now love...do not reduce your ranking in my eyes from most intelligent to barely coherent.i would agree that SA has the infrastructural advantage here{mostly due to the boers hardwork},but Nigeria also boasts a huge industrial capacity,which while still relatively untapped,it still challenges SA in its present form.SA isnt a fully developed country,yes or no?
PS: What does mzilakazi mean?

ActivateKruger:
By towns I actually mean villages and yeah Nigeria has plenty of villages it might take a decade or so for Boko Haram to capture them all.

Prepare yourself for Sharia

only a naive saffer that didnt attend a primary school will call a town and a village the same.how....interesting

ActivateKruger:
By towns I actually mean villages and yeah Nigeria has plenty of villages it might take a decade or so for Boko Haram to capture them all.

Prepare yourself for Sharia

and you think you will be able to withstand them if they overrun nigeria{which is not even possible anyway}?,when ISIS cannot finish conquering that tiny iraq and syria,is it boko haram that will now conquer a whole nigeria?.anyways,villages may be a little much in the north,but down south,i dont even think there is a complete village anymore.research,activekruger,research wouldnt kill you.

ActivateKruger:
What's that compared to what we are getting?

- 3600 new utra-modern trains
- Nationwide
- Underground presidential bunkers and tunnels
-An unecessary waste of public funds

FIXED

mzilakazi:
Why do you act like an illiterate when you are not. SA is an NIC, a mixture of developing and developed. There are many places in SA which can be classified as developed.

exactly!,why havent you made this much sense before!,you must be the most intelligent saffer i have seen on NL so far{well,there is another,but his name is classified}*i expect you to preen,as i rarely give praises*,if SA is a NIC,the nigeria is also a NIC!,there are many places in nigeria that are developed too.it doesnt mean SA is fully developed does it?

ActivateKruger:
There's nothing you'll post that hasn't been posted before, the Battle for Bangui is old news, our troops were honored time ago.... meanwhile in Nigeria BH captures a town in a daily basis implementing Sharia while the Nigerian Army flees for its life.

lies pulled straight out of the devils shrivelled a_ss.if boko haram were capturing town after town on a daily basis,will there be nigeria anymore?,is nigeria as big a russia?,exaggerations do not flatter you love,they simply make you look dumber.

mzilakazi:
SA is an NIC and so stop bringing new terminology that will be difficult for you to explain. SA is an industrialised nation and let it end there.



http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newly_industrialized_country

like seriously?,did you just call me an illiterate?,and here i was thinking you werent one of those violent dunderhead saffers that shout "lunatic" if they are getting confused.anyway,we speak the same,SA isnt a developed country.period.

mzilakazi:
You always seem to be backward with everything. Move with time and keep up to date with the current. A while ago SA graduated from developing to a newly industrialised nation, so officially SA is an NIC together with Russia, China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Turkey, etc.

i'm a forward thinking person,i always think forward...SA is a developing industrialized economy not a fully developed economy,{oh God}...saffers just enjoy telling lies{more like half truths}

mzilakazi:
SA does not ask money from BRICS and instead they have allocated $10 billion for the establishment of the BRICS bank which will give loans to the developing countries like the likes of Nigeria.

nigeria is developing and SA is what?developed?,ha...i feel flattered

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.

wow...'plenty' SA made military products in the US,how...interesting,so you are saying if the weapons arent pretty you do not use them?

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.

indeed....zuma is building underground bunkers in the government house,is he expecting war?,wasting money on lavish infrastructures you cannot afford,yet going to BRIC on hands and knees to plead for money,licking feets like a well trained mutt.congrat on building undergrounds!,it is indeed commendable.

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

dont let me post links that will embarass your precious SANDF...unlike the pretty boys,in pretty uniforms,mounting pretty but substandard machines you have in your army,we have serious guys in deadly war machines,whos job are defending nigeria,protecting our sovereignity and attacking enemies of the federal republic,their duty is to respond to any alien aggression with appropriate force.that the igirigi isnt pretty doesnt make it ineffective!.

mzilakazi:
That is simple, because the government since 1960 till now did not have financial muscle to provide free services.

hmm...the government is now contructing a lagos-ibadan-abuja-kaduna railway line worth over N800billion,constructing roads of N1.6trillion nation wide,new airports of over N984billion etc.,i wonder where they are getting all these money from...perhaps they waved a magic wand over a pile of dirty socks,and viola!,the money appeared!,love,you arent making sense...but of course,that isnt new.

DieVluit:
Kwaaaks death by Mubi!

Can you imagine if the Igirigi was a transformer boss?

I'm unable to can.

seleka rebels didnt even have one igirigi and the chased the SANDF out of CAR,your troops ran with while tripping on their own feet in blind panic and hysteria.i wonder what would have happened if they had the 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.

yeeeaahh....and am the f_ucking king of lesotho!...how did you arrive at such hasty conclusion?,proof or...

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

'struggling' isnt the right word love,what are you saying?,there are plenty of bills on the floor of the national assembly.the welfare bill is a relatively new bill,not a bill we have been 'struggling' to pass for years!.do research,do not embarass yasef!

ActivateKruger:
67% of the Nigerian population living in poverty, handouts are 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.

dunderhead,continue your delusions

whats that frog-eyed zambian interim president,Guy Scott,doing by removing the defence minister lulu mguni from the leading political party chair?,cant someone just call an AU concensus,send in AU mission troops,and blast the f_ucking red-neck out of power.SA,what are you doing about this?,afterall,zambia is within your 'jurisdiction'.that guy gotta be the dumbest politician on the planet,because his actions will be percieved as a slight against the zambians and a disrespect to the ex-president,he is only giving lulu more popularity to win overwhelmingly,as lulu will be seen as the righteous 'martyr' who is been unfirly molested!.

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.

the nigerian government can afford it!,new government houses worth billions of naira are been built every so often by state goverments,lagos state alone generates hundreds of billion of naira every year,and nigeria has 36 states{37 if you consider the FCT}!.the nigerian citizens arent asking for free handouts,therefore the government isnt dashing out either!

mzilakazi:
Suspicious about what? Why would any citizen be suspicious when a government provide them with free services?

they would be suspicious because the government hasnt given the free gifts before,from 1960-Now they havent distributed free handouts ever before,why start now?,they would wonder about the motive behind such seemingly benevolent actions,they would consider it a waste of public funds by a cacus of greedy wide-throated politicians to provide a measly meal that would eventually be flushed down the toilet,instead of constructing new roads,railways,airports,university,hospital etc.it just isnt in the nature of a nigeria to accept free gift without smelling for a fish.

mzilakazi:
That's what we call regulations. Government regulate the market and competition as well as the price of commodities and impose heavy penalties whenever prices are fixed.

indeed...but isnt it more industrial for the government to regulate the market by participating in it?,wouldnt that generate more revenue and be a more effective mode of deterrent?

mzilakazi:
Not all services run by the government are excellent, sometimes, if not, most services run by private sector are better sustainable than public services. This, however, will bring competition between public schools vs private schools; public hospitals vs private hospitals; etc.

hm..perhaps,but such actions could be needed in some cases to prevent monopoly of a particular commodity in the market...and also encourage healthy competition,and bringing down price of such commodity.
