NaijaPikinGidi: You should be telling that to your fellow South Africans running away to Australia, the UK, USA and everywhere else they can run to on credit.

South Africans are not the travelling type, unless is for work and study purpose for a certain period and thereafter come back home for good.

The french media is exposed for telling lies;

agaugust:
if you lost 13 soldiers, show us a neutral world respected source that seleka lost 500 to 800 rebels, since south african army ran away at high speed, how did they count the final number of seleka dead on the same battle field you ran away from ?

simple logic.

.

What neutral source? Mail and guardian is also a neutral source and SA government has no influence on it. It suffered a lot in the hands of politicians who vowed to sue it but to no avail. Above, they only reported about what was happening in SA parliament in Cape Town where minister was accused by various opposition parties, including the former minister of defence of killing child soldiers. Her response before the parliament was however fantastic. SANDF is not proud of killing child soldiers.

souldust: to the south african who said Nollywood is a copy cat of Hollywood, you really need to listen to yourself again. I bet the only reason you think we are copying hollywood is becos of the name similarity. But for you to base your conclusion on the above shows how shallow you are!

Nollywood and hollywood are NOT the same! There is no copying anywhere! In hollywood, there is so much of technology and false representation of reality. Thats the EXACT opposite of a Nollywood that is REAL and FACTUAL. Something that all Africans can see and relate to. Nollywood owes its fame and popularity to the fact i have just stated.

Talking about copycats. I think SA fits that definition more. Look at your district 9. A pure copycat of hollywood's spaceship, aliens and a vilifying of the other person you see as a threat! These are the things you see in hollywood's star wars, et al.

Nollywood is as original as Africans can get

What about the voodoo magic that is always represented by cheap technology on Nollywood? Do you call that reality. Since when did you ever see a man raising from the dead to avenge his death or perhaps should I say that is all possible in Nigeria. All that Hollywood is doing remain a wish in Nigeria because of their limited technology in cinematography.

We in SA we are not Sollywood or something like that. We are not copy cats and we will never be.

NaijaPikinGidi: I will not decend to your level because your blatant insults will never trump my intellect. I'd quickly just reveal a few things you are ignorant of:

:: SA women with Nigerian husbands will come in handy for our intel and SFs missions when and where necessary.
:: Soon enough you'll have Nigerian members of your parliament for real!!!
:: Many Nigerians know very well how to blend into their host environment because we are black and can employ guile to appear local anywhere in Africa.
:: A lot of Nigerians speak the language of your local communities with good local diction and accents.
:: A lot of these Nigerians are everywhere and on the payroll of NA intel corps.
:: We wine and dine with your ANC top guns and fat cats.
:: We do not have identification according to you, nothwithstanding we can identify ourselves. It's natural in Nigeria to know our kit and kin and to welcome foreigners to our midst. Yet, in SA with your ID books the Zulus will attack fellow South Africans (Vendas, Tshangans, etc.,) whenever you have an excuse to go on Xenophobic attacks to loot foreigner properties because people from Limpopo province are not South Africans?
:: In deed, we are checking our open ECOWAS borders, and wouldn't need to remind you to check your leaking borders as well.
:: Brains and not brawns Mr. DictatorZA is Nigeria's advantage over SA. We can't be bothered about cowards with shiny weapons.

In your mind Mr. DictatorZA, the NA has been infiltrated by B.Haram, yet the NA is still standing having gallantly cleaned out the hideouts of B.Haram? You just wish!! It took less than two weeks to clean out B.Haram. Whereas your SA military forces refused to step into the Cape Flats even when your Helen Zille called for intervention to check the violent gangs in the Cape Flats? SA goes where they think they have economic interests (e.g. CAR) and get beaten back in SELEKA selection style!!

Porous borders in Nigeria? Yet SA cannot check the influx of Zimbabweans, Angolans, Zambians and other foreign citizens crossing the Limpopo River on crocodile backs into SA? Be grateful that SA is located and surrounded by countries with insignificant Islamist influences. Otherwise, you must realise that folks from the Northern places of Nigeria share significant pre-colonial era cultural, social and economic ties with the neighbouring countries which got interrupted by present national boundary demarcations. And just to let you know that it remains an ECOWAS policy to encourage free movement of ECOWAS citizens from one country to the other with no need for visas or harassment. This policy, the B.Haram have exploited and are now paying for. Educating you on Nigeria will surely be a waste of my precious time but I am willing to waste some bit on you.

SANDF: Wimps at home, spineless abroad!!

This is just desperate comment.

Mapisa-Nqakula defends SA troops killing CAR child soldiers

SA troops under attack from child soldiers had to defend themselves and couldn't "give sweeties and blow kisses", says the defence minister.



Faranaaz Parker, Deshnee Subramany

mg.co.za, Thu 04 Apr 2013 13:34 GMT+2

Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has been answering questions on child soldiers during a joint standing committee on defence meeting.

"If our soldiers were attacked by children they were correct to defend themselves," she said on Thursday. "If a child shoots at you, are you going to wave your hands, give him a sweetie, blow kisses?"

Mapisa-Nqakula was referring to reports in Sunday papers two weeks ago that surviving soldiers who were deployed to the Central African Republic after a coup had to defend themselves against child soldiers.

A paratrooper told the Sunday Times: "It was only after the firing had stopped that we saw we had killed kids. We did not come here for this … to kill kids. It makes you sick. They were crying, calling for help … calling for [their] moms."

In the City Press a soldier was quoted as saying many of the rebels were "only children".

Asked about whether there were any more soldiers missing or dead, Mapisa-Nqakula said: "There is something called 'roll call'."

"There is no way we could have been sitting around believing we've had 13 fatalities, 27 injured and there may be others missing. If anything I will tell you, I was sitting on all the generals saying have you done your roll call, do we have people who are missing?"

"South Africa is not an aggressor, it's not a state that will go attack other countries. What we stand for is the reintegration of Africa, it's an Africa that has peace and stability because we believe peace and stability paves the way for development. We will not adopt an offensive posture as a country," she said.

Scope and goals
Cope MP Mosiuoa Lekota tried to read through the scope and goals of the original memorandum of understanding (MOU) that he had originally signed while defense minister, saying that it would be necessary for the public to see whether what had been done in the CAR was in accordance with what had been agreed in the MOU or not.

Read the original MOU here

"In the MOU I signed on behalf of South Africa in 2007, nowhere appears a commitment to plan, to implement disarmament, demilitarisation and reintegration. They appear nowhere and in fact, minister, you yourself, in a reply to a question put to you in Parliament on February 10 2011, you told Parliament that South Africa’s involvement in the security of the CAR followed a request by President Francois Bozize to assist the CAR’s defence force to upgrade their military capabilities. You then said subsequent to that, that an MOU was signed, and then accepted by Cabinet on August 29 2008," he said.

"The issue of planning and implementation of disarmament, demilitarisation and reintegration is nowhere in this memorandum. The first time I became aware of it is when the president announced this year in February that he had deployed 400 troops to the CAR for that purpose of planning and implementation of disarmament, demilitarisation and integration. What happened between 2007 and this time – there must have been a change in my view. There must have been something else negotiated to change the MOU I had signed in 2007 to bring in this question of demilitarisation."

"When did that change happen?" he asked.

In response to Lekota's question, Mapisa-Nqakula said that MOUs can be amended and that what is in the original MOU is not necessarily all that is agreed to.

“In any defence cooperation that you have, the situation is so dynamic that every now and then there are certain things you will change in your agreement and I think this is one of those times where you will do that.”

'Singled out'
Mapisa-Nqakula said the question of why the South African troops appeared to have been singled out by the rebels was "very worrying".

“I need these answers. Intelligence need these answers. South Africa need these answers. Why were we targeted? Why were we singled out?”

She added that national security was a concern. "Can we as South Africans really believe there will never be a threat against South Africa?" she asked.

Mapisa-Nqakula rubbished reports that the SANDF was defending the assets of private companies and individuals in the CAR. "There’s a story doing rounds in the Mail & Guardian about assets of individuals which really has nothing to do with what the SANDF was doing in the CAR."

"Do you think that we would take the SANDF, send them out to defend or protect what belongs to individuals? It’s so incorrect."

On Thursday, President Jacob Zuma announced South Africa's troops would be pulled out of the CAR, saying the agreement under which the soldiers were deployed was void due to the fall of the CAR's government.

Thirteen South African soldiers were killed in the conflict-ridden country on March 24 after a coalition of rebel forces invaded the capital city of Bangui.

A further 27 soldiers were injured and one more soldier was reported missing. The deposed leader of the CAR Francois Bozize fled to neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and rebel leader Michel Djotodia declared himself interim president

NaijaPikinGidi: My friend Agaugust I don't think you should worry further about restating our superior military knowledge and strategy to our South African friends who adamantly remain blinded by self-delusion and a baseless sense of supremacy when it is common knowledge that their national keypoints are easily breachable by anyone, talkless of the highest bidder! The Gupta Jet landing fiasco at an Airforce base is still a recent event of great national embarrassment to all South Africans.

I'll complement Agaugust's simulation by saying ... without pilots ... there is no air power. Nigeria actually will not wait for Gripen planes to be deployed out of 2 Squadron Makhado Air Force Base in Limpopo. The Gripens and their pilots will never be able to take the skies!! All that needs to be done is to have Nigerian Army SF commandos infiltrate the porous Makhado Base on a red mission to recee, secure, capture and take out your Gripen pilots. Of course we are capable!! And without a doubt the war would have been lost by SA before it ever begins. We know all of SA's national key points and we know what to do when the time comes. The Nigerian Armed Forces are supremely advantaged in the current situation where it's strike capacity and capabilities in modern warfare are underestimated by South Africa especially. Save for my sharing this strategy, there would be no way of countering such a surprise move by the NA SFs.

To our friends in South Africa, the Nigerian Army is in your bare face! The Nigerian Military forces' brains and brawns combine better than your mere brawns. So let things be. Shiny weapons and loud mouths will not hold ground against a Nigerian Armed Forces -- highly potent in war intel, and tactics than what the world knows or can truthfully acknowledge.

But thanks, Messrs Agaugust, Henry120, Donian, et al, for sustaining this thread and forcing our SA friends to learn a thing or two and to acknowledge fellow Africans in a more respectful way.

To the mouthy Kwames, AwoduaGyans, and Mbuisis on this thread, you all are at liberty to continue in your sustained efforts to slander Nigeria. Nigeria isn't Ghana or Kenya. We talk for truth to strength for ourselves come rain or shine! Isn't it shameful that you Ghanaians find it comfortable basking in false satisfaction derived from the crumbs of your SA masters/benefactors whereas your countries of origin remain spineless entities in Africa's scheme of affairs.

Enough said!

QED

Nigeran SF are very young and inexperienced, and have never carried out any high profile clandestine operations. They will be exposed easily and we will give their bodies to crocodiles for lunch.

agaugust: if my defense industry job gives you south africans on this forum nightmares, tell God you are tired of living.

I pity your education. Why can't you join the army and attend military academy so that you can be properly lecture about this things. That will really help you for sure and stop all that crap you have written above.

agaugust: if that Gripen jet above is doing ground attack in enemy combat zone and it suddenly faces close range dog-fight meets 4 F-7 jets that have 20 AAMs, the Gripen will shoot down 2 of the 4 F-7 jets, but the remaining 2 F-7 jets will shoot down that Gripen jet with 10 AAMs of speed 4,000km/hr that no jet in the world can out-run.



sweden's SAAB company is desperate to sell its Gripen jet product in the market by propaganda and bribery, they even bribed south african politicians with $3.6 million to buy the Gripen jet you dont have money to maintain.

http://www.defensenews.com/article/20110731/DEFSECT01/107310301/S-Africa-Reopens-Probe-Into-Gripen-Bribes-Report

SAAB JAS39 Griffin is the best bra especially when armed with Taurus KEPD 350. I always wanted to see that missile integrated on the Gripen, because I knew surely it was gonna make Denel jealous to design their version.

Chengdu F7-NI is always prone to crush and of 15 that Nigeria has bought, 3 have already crashed. Namibia and Zimbabwe are also using those dinosaurs.

agaugust: south african valour frigate warship (google it) maximum speed is 28 knots per hour or 52km per hour, do maths it is less than 1km per minute very slow and heavy ships cannot turn like a small speed boats that is simple physics forces and moments law of torque if you went to school. nigerian artillery shells fly 50 times faster at 50km per minute, too fast for the ship to dance and evade at sheep speed of 1km per minute. dont change scientific laws of physics because you want to win argument.

i dont know who told you that the whole nigerian navy is built to fight only pirates, is that a navy of coast guard ?

is nigerian navy excocet anti-ship missiles, otomat anti-aircraft missiles built to fight pirates ?

i dont know which herbalist oracle you consulted that told you nigeria has no electronic counter measures in all the new israeli tech purchased for coastal monitoring recently, and the new modern italian ATR-42 Surveyor aircrafts that even came back from italy few months ago with new updated 2012 upgarde from the 2010 earlier delivery date.

i dont know the herbalist oracle that told you a south african helicopter at speed 280km/hr will shoot down nigerian interceptor jet at speed 2,000km/hr and longer intercept range missiles of over 20km range when the jets are 12 against 4 outnumbered helicopters.

i dont know which non-existing war in history were you ever saw slow helicopter built to attack ground forces shoot down supersonic speed jet built to shoot down the fastest jet aircraft.

i dont know the impossible sources you got information that south african warships will keep running around nigerian waters at full maximum speed every minute of 24 hours a day and every day of the week trying to avoid the 50 times faster nigerian artillery shells, and the ships remain in good mechanical condition 5,000km away from home base, while nigerian ATR-42 Surveyor aircraft and F-7 jets and all 10 radar stations on coastline and all space spy balloons and all space satellites and all electronic systems and all artilley guns on ground get tired of functioning in their own home land ?


as i said, the first day y_ou go to real war, people will ship y_ou back home in a sealed b_ody b_ag.

before you wrote your above posts, did you use 2 buckets full of beer to take your bath/shower and drink up the remaining ?

LMFAO!!! Crazy people

souldust: @kwame aka SA wanna be Ghanaian
Nollywood third largest and best movie industry in the world and by FAR best in Africa. Sadly its not Ghana or SADafrica. Read on boy

Cinema of Nigeria
"Nollywood" redirects here. For the
Nollywood TV channel in the UK, see
Nollywood Movies (TV channel).
The cinema of Nigeria grew quickly in
the 1990s and 2000s to become the
second largest film industry in the
world in terms of number of annual film
productions, placing it ahead of the
United States and behind only the
Indian film industry.[1][2] According to
Hala Gorani and Jeff Koinange formerly
of CNN, Nigeria has a US$250 million
movie industry, creating some 200
videos for the home video market every
month.[3][4]
Nigerian cinema is Africa's largest
movie industry in terms of both value
and the number of movies produced
per year. Although Nigerian films have
been produced since the 1960s, the rise
of affordable digital filming and editing
technologies has stimulated the
country's video film industry. The
Nigerian video feature film industry is
sometimes colloquially known as
Nollywood, having been derived as a
play on Hollywood in the same manner
as Bollywood.[5]
History
The first Nigerian films were made by
filmmakers such as Ola Balogun and
Hubert Ogunde in the 1960s, but they
were frustrated by the high cost of film
production.[6] However, television
broadcasting in Nigeria began in the
1960s and received much government
support in its early years. By the
mid-1980s every state had its own
broadcasting station. Law limited
foreign television content so producers
in Lagos began televising local popular
theater productions. Many of these
were circulated on video as well, and a
small scale informal video movie trade
developed.
The release of the box-office movie
Living in Bondage in 1992 by NEK Video
Links owned by Kenneth Nnebue in the
eastern city of Onitsha set the stage for
Nollywood as it is known today. The
story goes that Kenneth Nnebue had an
excess number of imported video
cassettes which he then used to shoot
the first film.[7] The huge success of
this film set the pace for others to
produce other films or home videos.
Through the business instincts and
ethnic links of the Igbo and their
dominance of distribution in major
cities across Nigeria, home videos
began to reach people across the
country. Nollywood exploded into a
booming industry that pushed foreign
media off the shelves, an industry now
marketed all over Africa and the rest of
the world.[8] The use of English rather
than local languages served to expand
the market and aggressive marketing
using posters, trailers, and television
advertising also played a role in
Nollywood's success.
Since then, thousands of movies have
been released. One of the first Nigerian
movies to reach international renown
was the 2003 release Osuofia in
London, starring Nkem Owoh, the
famous Nigerian comedic actor. Modern
Nigerian cinema’s most prolific auteur is
Chico Ejiro ("Mr. Prolific", who directed
over 80 films in an 8-year period and
brags that he can complete production
on a movie in as little as three days.[9]
Ejiro’s brother Zeb is the best-known
director of these videos outside of the
country.
The first Nollywood films were
produced with traditional analog video,
such as Betacam SP, but today almost all
Nollywood movies are produced using
digital video technology.[10][11][12]
[13]The Guardian has cited Nigeria's
film industry as the third largest in the
world in terms of earnings and
estimated the industry to bring in US
$200 million per year.[14][15] As the
paper cites the success can also be
attributed to Ghanaian films[16]
Nollywoods biggest competition on the
African continent is the Ghanaian film
industry, and Nigerian film makers
usually collaborate with Ghanaian actors
and directors. Van Vicker a popular
Ghanaian actor has starred in many
Nigerian movies and famous Nollywood
actress Genevieve Nnaji has also starred
in many Ghanaian films. Due to their
collaborations Western viewers
oftentimes confused Ghanaian movies
with Nollywood and count their sales as
one; however they are two different
independent industries. That share
sometimes share the colloquial
Nollywood. In 2009, Unesco described
Nollywood as being the second-biggest
film industry in the world after
Bollywood in terms of output and called
for greater support for the industry,
which is the second-largest employer in
Nigeria.[17]

Production
Most movies are not produced in
studios. Video movies are shot on
location all over Nigeria with hotels,
homes, and offices often rented out by
their owners and appearing in credits
in the movies. The most popular
locations are shot in the cities of Lagos,
Enugu, and Abuja. However, distinct
regional variations appear between the
northern movies made primarily in the
Hausa language, the western Yoruba
movies, the Edo language movies shot
in Benin City, and the Igbo movies shot
in the southeast. Many of the big
producers have offices in Surulere,
Lagos.
In an effort to improve the quality of
Nigerian film productions, the country’s
president, Goodluck Jonathan, pledged
in 2010 to create a $200 million loan
fund to help finance film projects.[18]
Nigerian directors adopt new
technologies as soon as they become
affordable.[citation needed] Editing,
music, and other post-production work
are done with common computer-
based systems.[citation needed]

International co-productions
With an eye to attracting an
international mainstream audience,
Nigerian film-makers are increasingly
turning to the West for actors like Isaiah
Washington, and Thandie Newton.[19]
The same developments are taking
place in co-productions with film-
makers from other African countries.
The 'Princess of Africa,' Yvonne Chaka
Chaka, starred in Foreign Demons, a film
set in Nigeria as well as her native South
Africa.[20]
Feathered Dreams, is the first
Nollywood-Ukrainian co-production. Set
in Ukraine, the film stars Nigerian
actress Omoni Oboli Ukrainian actor
Andrey Rozhen who also directed it.[21]

Distribution
The primary distribution centers are
Idumota Market on Lagos Island, 51
Iweka Road in Onitsha in Anambra
State, and 1/3 Pound Road Aba in Abia
State. Currently, Nigerian films outsell
Hollywood films in Nigeria and many
other African countries. Some 300
producers turn out movies at an
astonishing rate—somewhere between
1,000 and 2,000 a year. The films go
straight to DVD and VCD discs. Thirty
new titles are delivered to Nigerian
shops and market stalls every week,
where an average film sells 50,000
copies. A hit may sell several hundred
thousand. Discs sell for two dollars
each[citation needed], making them
affordable for most Nigerians and
providing astounding returns for the
producers.
Most of the films are produced by
independent companies and
businessmen. However, the big money
for films in Nigeria is made in the direct-
to-video market. The average film costs
between US$17,000 and US$23,000, is
shot on video in just a week—selling up
to 150,000–200,000 units nationwide
in one day. With this type of return,
more and more are getting into the film
business there. By most reports,
Nollywood is a $500-million industry.
And it keeps growing. According to
Frank Ikegwuonu, author of Who's Who
in Nollywood,[22] about "1,200 films
are produced in Nigeria annually." And
more and more filmmakers are heading
to Nigeria because of "competitive
distribution system and a cheap
workforce." Further, Nigerian films
seem to be better received by the
market when compared to foreign films
because "those films are more family
oriented than the American films."
Nigerian movies are available in even
the most remote areas of the continent.
The last few years have seen the
growing popularity Nigerian films
among the people of African diaspora
in both Europe, North America and the
Caribbean. Nigerian films are currently
receiving wider distribution as Nigerian
producers and directors are attending
more internationally acclaimed film
festivals. In the USA, viewers can watch
Nollywood and other West African
movies on Afrotainment. On-line
streaming is gradually becoming part of
the distribution system with sites like
iROKOtv and AllAfricanCinema[23]
showing Nollywood video content.

Themes
Many Nollywood movies have themes
that deal with the moral dilemmas
facing modern Africans. Some movies
promote the Christian or Islamic faiths,
and some movies are overtly
evangelical. Others, however, address
questions of religious diversity, such as
the popular film One God One Nation,
about a Muslim man and a Christian
woman who want to marry but go
through many obstacles.

Portrayal in the Western media
The 2007 documentary Welcome to
Nollywood by director Jamie Meltzer
gives an overview of the industry. It
pays particular attention to directors Izu
Ojukwu and Chico Ejiro, and
acknowledges the unusual, rapid, and
enterprising way that most Nollywood
films are created as well as their
significance and contribution to the
greater society and the production
difficulties Ojukwu faced during
production of his war epic Laviva.[24]
Franco Sacchi's 2007 documentary
This Is Nollywood follows the
production of Check Point, directed by
Bond Emeruwa. It features interviews
with Nigerian filmmakers and actors as
they discuss their industry, defend the
types of films they make and detail the
kind of impact they can have.[25] In
2007, Franco Sacchi presented the film
on Nollywood at the TED conference.
[26]
The 2007 Danish documentary Good
Copy Bad Copy features a substantial
section on Nigerian cinema. It focuses
on the direct-to-DVD distribution of
most Nigerian movies, as well as the
industry's reliance on off-the-shelf video
editing equipment as opposed to the
more costly traditional film process.[27]
A 2008 Canadian documentary
Nollywood Babylon was co-directed by
Ben Addelman and Samir Mallal, and
produced by AM Pictures and the
National Film Board of Canada in
association with the Documentary
Channel. It played in the Official
Competition at the Sundance Film
Festival in January 2009.[28]

1 SOUTH AFRICAN MOVIE= 100 NOLLYWOOD MOVIES

South Africa has a unique movie industry and does not copy anyone. Nollywood is clearly a Nigeran version of Hollywood, why should we copy what the Americans are doing? Now that you are more concerned in producing more movies in any year, your pictures, sound, cinematography become a poor quality. You must never run behind Americans because they produce 100 of movies every year and you suddenly want to close that gap. Take your pace and produce good looking movies of better quality.

patriot4: Why wouldn't you just shut up !
You think nobody knows that you South africans think that the rest of Africa is there to serve you ?
Go to hell !
Useless bunch

Am I also blamed for the rot that has befallen your country? So, since you said Boko Haram are all foreigners, are South Africans also part of that terrorist group?

CAMEROONPRIDE: you are very funny , the UN bomber wtf? are u smoking mate okay go easy with the conspiracy theories lnao , boko is mostly kanuri they are not indigenous in Cameroon , even the fulani here are a minority...muslim make about 20% all moderate, no sharia ...please wake and stop pointing fingers

The man want to blame you for the rot. He accuses you of bombing their country. Just imagine, Lol!!

Rerig daar is nie man so gek soos Agaugust.

agaugust: my boy its time for me to take you to my classroom again as i lectured you on SU-30 Flanker jet. you owe me school fees.

one of Gripen jet major weaknesses is the short range, thats why the SAAB manufacturer called it point air defence aircraft, only able to operate at one single point, not travel like a tourist on holidays

combat radius is Gripen loaded with weapons for combat and it is 800km including time for take-off, travel to enemy territory, find target, launch attack, return to home base and land. flying at ordinary 1,200km per hour, do maths, Gripen has only short 45 minutes to do all the stages i listed, 15 minutes to enemy zone, 15 minutes to to its combat job, 15minutes to return home, or else it runs out of fuel and crashed to the ground by itself.

if Gripen jet flies faster at 1,800km/hr its shor range becomes even worse, and will have only 8 minutes to stay in combat or fuel will finish and over-rated Gripen jet will crash into the earth !

this is the reason why south african Gripen jets are actually totally useless against nigeria about 5,000km away

south africa and nigeria both have NO military capacity to attack each other

ferry range is Gripen empty with no weapons at all for combat, just like a parade air show and that is 3,200km.

source : go to near the bottom of page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_JAS_39_Gripen

now say thank you to your ever ready teacher. you owe me 6 months school fees, tell your father at home, i want my money

Don't look at it on the perspective of South African Gripen. How about that now Gripens can arm with Taurus KEPT 350 long range missiles for which does not exclude those of SA.

agaugust: no, he is a d_ummy b_rain, he flew 4 south african helicopters at speed 278km/hr without any Gripen jet air escort into nigerian airspace to challenge 12 F-7 intreceptor jet aircraft flying at 2,000km/hr in a war simulation....and he flew south african helicopters to final R.I.P

You are such a s.tupid cassava, since when did you see gunship going to war without the support of fighter jets. That's a battle formation and it remains like that.

agaugust: y_our b_rain is equal to that of a 3 year old boy, if all 4 south african helicopters launches mokopa missiles of maximum 10km range against nigerian artillery while staying close to south african navy warships for umkhonto air defence protection, then the warships themselves are now actually only 10 minutes away from nigerian coastal land artillery....

then the warships are in the easy range all the 675 nigerian army artillery bombardment and will be sunk in few minutes then the helicopters have no place to return and land, then they will come and surrender to land on nigerian airports under the escort and captivity of nigerian F-7 jets, then nigeria will post south african captured pilots and helicopters on CNN news website and televise the humiliation by satellite !

can somebody here please tell me how south african education is better than nigeria's ? i really dont see it.



.

The South African education system is better because is credible and it doesn't get to teach people lies about Roland as an effective air defence against fast jets, instead they taught us to use alternative effective measures.

saengine: So basically if you even dared try do it, you would be vapourised? Oh ok thanks. The main role of every defence force around the world is to protect the citizens of that particular country from an outside threat, so don't try make Nigeria sound special. But an ability must exist to be the aggressor if need be.

Saengine you are very brilliant.

Henry120: Listen fool, that's because we are not an aggressor nation. Our defence doctrine and procurement is specifically tailored for self-defence.

There's no better comedian than a Nigerian.

saengine: And may I please please ask, why are all these simulations based on SA attacking Nigeria. Why not Nigeria attacking SA? I think we all know the answer to that

LMFAO!!!

South Africas SUNSAT was launched in 1999 and ten years later second satellite (Sumbandila Sat) was launched.

Augustine Again: it is a tiny half useless project and NOT a space satellite, it is an earth ground located station NOT a space sation you d_umb g_oat. your universities in south africa gave you poor eduaction, people are talking space satellite you are posting telescope on earth. thats how you failed exam in school and say the teacher didnt like you because you compete with him for girlfriend.

read your own source above, i quote


"MOSCOW, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - The space tracking station that is being built in South Africa as part of Russia’s astrophysical project RadioAstron can only be used with the radio telescope, Federal Space Agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day some media reported that next year Russia would be able to receive telemetry from other spacecraft with the help of the South African station.

The agreement that was signed in South Africa provides for cooperation in astrophysical research under the RadioAstron project."

So the ground-based tracking station will work only in the interest of this particular project."

nigeria remains the champion of african real satellites in space, for ever, amen.

Why should we worry about satelites which we already have in space. Space tracking station has always been South Africas long dream.

South Africas newly built space station in partnership with Russia.

andrewza: 2011 for the observation ones and 2004 for the commes one

LMFAO!!!

andrewza: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-21954395

in short they have one chinness and 2 brit sats

the chinness one is a commms sat and the brit ones are earth obsevastion satellites

Which year was it? LMFAO!

Henry120: Nigeria has 3 satellites in orbit. Withe the first one launched in 2003.

The source please. My google refuses to substantiate your claims.

Augustine Again: since when in war history did 8 Gripen jet air force become great force ? you think you are fighting lesotho republic ?

NATO nations always deploy squadron (6 fighters) in most of their missions. Have you also seen how they favour the mighty SAAB JAS 39 GRIPEN.

South Africa has been doing all this spy satellite way back in the early 2000s something that Nigeria did not have. Now that they bumped to this new tech, they feel so superior that they even undermine their seniors.

patriot4: Treaty or no treaty, if you want nuclear, then you have to build it in silence. It is only after everything is done that you can say: "yes I have nuclear weapons". Then you can tear the treaties.

What is this strong staff that you are smoking? I wana have it too.

Augustine Again: .

[size=16pt]Nigerian army built technology leads Africa[/size]


nigerian military forces will now watch all south african air force aircraft, missiles in the air and all south african army soldiers on the ground, as well as all south african navy warships on the oceans from above them in outer space like a television, and far beyond range out of reach of any south african weapon attack

nigeria has technological superiority over south africa and all other african nations from cape town to cairo, in strategic and tactical spying, reconnaissance and 24 hour monitoring/tracking and intelligence information, with 3 modern high power and high image quality space satellites and these new nigerian army domestically manufactured high-tech spy balloons newly launched into outer space to stay at about 300,000km above the earth.

winning a war is not all about manufacturing weapons with ranges extra 10km longer than other countries, war involves both ammunition and information.
