@Msauza

You be olodo! It is a sign of fooolishness when you sit back in comfort of your home and imagine for others what your puny mind thinks is only fit for them. Go and get books from achives and listen to those who have seen more than you to learn.

I know on first hand basis men and officers who fought in Bakassi right from now retired Gen Felix Moujakperuo who was GOC 82 div (later commanded ECOMOG in Seirra Leone, became GOC 2 div, Ibadan and later CO TRADOC), who didn't just sit back at the HQ in Enugu but was with his FN rifle right on the front along with the ratings when Aradu led the landing with now retired Admiral Tony Oni (later commanded NNS Urhiapele (Sapele) and became FOC WEST) and co on board. Rtd Gen GT Zidon who commanded Operation harmony until hand-over is someone I know very very well and troops tell of how all these men actively fought on the fronts on the days they re-took Bakassi from the Camerounians.

If you don't know a thing, there is no shame or dishonour in saying so and you will be taught and your hounour will remain instead of just talking from all sides of your mouth without evidence of common sense.

For you info (and that of any other idiot who belongs to your class), Camerounian forces came to Bakassi and attacked the place killing civilians who were mainly fishermen, rapi.ing the women and tearing down flags of Nigeria there. Mind you, skirmishes have been on around there since early 80's but never as bold as their invasion in the 90's (can't remember the year in particular). The then military head of state, Late Gen Abacha gave order to GOC 82 div to lead a task force to flush them out, Bakassi fell after two deadly days and nights of bloody fight, and remained firmly in control of Nigerian soldiers until it was handed over in the popularly seen ceremony.

Issue of Bakassi is not to be debated, it was a clear thrashing...and nothing more.

this is very serious!

but wait o, am I the only one seeing the quote below?

While conceding that Nigeria’s fate is primarily in the
hands of Nigerians, the report noted that such could be
positively affected by actions of the US, adding that
“Nigeria’s future is in balance and [size=32pt]the United States
should help tip the scales[/size].”

taharqa2: What is dis ijiot making NOISE over? This is a good development. I bliv All of us wish that d Centre becomes leaner (though still relatively Strong) while more Resources and Responsibilities go to the Constituent parts; and d fact, that disputes bw Tiers of Govt are resolved in such a constitutional and amicable manner as d above case, is a huge positive reflection of the extent of our deepening Democracy..

Haba mallam, wetin nah? se na my fault if you can't see the humour in it? Abi you no see say you and I are saying same thing ni? Na wa o, I know it is not so easy to deliver the mandate of "The 40".

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...!!!

This can't be right! It is miscarriage of justice meant to embarrass GEJ and FG. It is handiwork of "Tinubu" and Justice Salami. They want to steal our oil. We no go gree...we must divide this country.

Now, seriously, this is a biiiiig landmark judgment. I am so so happy. I hope and pray that more of such court judgements will help devolve the highly illegal and unnecessary concentrated in the centre. In particular ministries of agriculture, education, oil and solid minerals. The centre needs to be leaner and more of internal affairs regulatory and foreign projection oriented.

Oh God, please deliver this shameless man into the hands of Chidi Lloyds soonest. Ameeen!

adconline:
Naija's foolish way of rebutting or denying FACTS. I don't believe in your data, Fine! Show us your goddamn own peer-reviewed data!! You have nothing. Saying I don't believe does not win argument, facts and figures do. you should be embarrassed that foreigners have a better metric for measuring Naija socio-economic growth/retrogress and Naija does not have anything.

^^^

You are typical example of foolishness that's borne out of crass ignorance. You have access to internet but it has not benefited your education, no thanks to Nairaland, Facebook, 2go and Badoo. You glory in being able to read and write and yet wait for me to give reasons why a clearly flawed data on YOUR OWN country and people, aren't you unfortunate?

oK, I will oblige you by pointing out one typical flaw in each of the maps to prove how stupeed you are not to make those simple observations.

Map 1: Most of the areas covered are not Hausa/Fulani land. They comprise over 200 different other ethnicities.

Map 2: GDP is incorrect measure of wealth in this case, HDI and/or GNI will be more relevant.

Map 3: How is Yobe state (that just has 2/400 pass score point in National Common Entrance and one of the worst educationally disadvantaged states) at par with Ogun state educationalwise?

Map 4: Extremely most of the primary health care immunization challenges are in the northern states, not south. Cases in South are rare and isolated.

Mind you, I have been to most of those regions and seen tons of reports on these basic issues. I could go on and show many more inaccuracies, but that will be flogging a dead horse.

Now you see how very unfortunate you are to sit your ignorant butt here and wait for a German to tell you who you are? ...STUPEED EEDIOT!

what I think for sure is that your demographic maps are incorrect. it is sad that a Nigerian is using map drawn by an "Ulrich" on Nigerian forum. How can a German know you better than yourself? Well...I have travelled fairly wide around Nigerian, and I know that all the maps (maybe except the oil pipeline routes which i am not sure of) are highly inaccurate.

So son, get a more accurate map, or data representation (not from BBC pleeeeease!), then you can have meaningful and unbiased analyses.

@ Andrewza,

stop having headache over non-issue, it is only a ceremonial activity, that doesn't make him a soldier...but if he must wear a uniform, he has to be appropriately dresses as a field-marshl. after the ceremony, he removes the dress and go back into his civil dress. Kapish?

bloggernaija: All these antiquated equipment from the days of king solomon and an army that lack discipline( only good at fighting police ).
Only 5 apache(egypt has 36 battle ready apache) will destroy everything Nigeria's in her inventory and mop up the rest within 2 weeks.
The navy is another basket case with all those NNS fishing boats and patrol canoes.
The 20th century battlefield requires a fast ,nimble and mobile force ready to deploy within a short period.
One British type 45 destroyer is enough to hold the entire nigerian coast.once it cast a net,nothing must move whether in the air or on water.advanced radar systems ensures that it will detect anything as big as a small can of milo and sophisticated guidance system ensures that the target is destroyed .
Egypt has 1130 Abrams tanks( no tank in Nigeria's inventory can penetrate the composite armor of the Abrams) .that is the main battle tank of the US army.we on the other hand have an army whose equipment look exactly like those of the Hutu and tsusti rebels.

It is true that Nigerian armed forces equipment are mostly antiques not befitting modern fighting force. But sir, I will like to ask you, how many navies in the world sail the Royal Navy's type 45 destroyers grade vessel? How many of it does Britain have commissioned presently? Egypt is threatened by highly advanced Israel and potentially by other heavily armed Arab neighbours Who should Nigeria stock A1 tanks for... Togo, Benin, Cameroon or Niger Republic? Apache is a great machine, but what do you know about the newly acquired Hind gunships in NAF inventory? Do you know NAF has SEPACAT Jaguars in stock?...so why not find out why they are not "tearing" the skies over Mali and Borno thereby allowing the lesser Alpha jets to steal the glorious show?

Yes, Nigerian military equipment is a disgrace, but let your disappointment be an informed one.

most of comments here are unfortunately mischievous or plain silly. It doesn't take common sense to see that those huge revenue zones are because of oil & gas in SS and the only deep seaport location and its attendant influenced heavy industrialization in Lagos-Ogun axis. If the seaport had been in Calabar or Warri, the stat would have skewed that way too. Also if the inland oil basins were developed, the stats would be different. The misconstrued stat has not in anyway attributed any industrial acumen to the so favoured zones, neither is it a pointer to the HDI. If fair argument is to be presented, Human Development indices and GNI per capital should be presented for each zone, then we can have matured, educated and unbiased comparism. Otherwise no statistics is worth any useful meaning without INTERPRETATION.

zaandrew:

So you have no answer to my post?

^^^

me answer you?...I look to you like say I dey crase? only those who dont know the legendary Andrewza try to answer your k-legged questions because you will no sooner shift the object and draw the person into perpetual argument. By the way sef, na which answer yo wan hear from my mouth again wey I never tell you? Guy, abeg go sleep, no start that your hide and seek with me again, I no get your time.

@ OP,

voodoo economists and statisticians like you must be reined-in in a straight jacket and kept in a whitewashed steel door fitted room. reason is because mis-tailored statistics bandied around like you just did with NO interpretation can cause incalculable damages beyond what your puny mind can fathom.

THE LESSON:

Please and please, the value of any (and every) statistics is in its INTERPRETATION - which your spurious conjecture lacks. Any number is plain useless without an interpretation, same with our statistics. Only mischievous or dangerously ignorant people play with numbers in the ways you just did. But if you still think you are neither as described, onus is on you to INTERPRET your figures based on facts.

TO ALL:

Please ignore this babalawo figures this guy is throwing around. It is a half-truth that are meant to capture the fancy of simple minds. Let him show us the breakdown of taxpayers along their regions of origin irrespective of places where they are living or working, and such other vital info that will help to explain the gaping imbalance in his figures. Didn't Dangote, Ishiaka Rabiu, Dantata & Sons, and many other big time importers and industrialists contribute to duties and taxes collected from south west? what about the yam sellers, onion sellers and other northern businesses that contributed to the revenue of their "host states"? what about countless Emeka chemist stores, Chukudi auto parts, Chigozie supermarket and cosmetics store, and Madam Ngozi isi-ewu joints contributing all over the nation? ...CAVEAT EMPTOR !!!

zaandrew:
yes well under sanctions nigeria was poor, if sanctions happened now all those invers in nigeria would pull out, all those construction sites would stagnant. Yes the military would remain strong by using what little comes in but the people will suffer. Look at zimbabwe, the leadership feels nothing for the sanctions but the people suffer. And there is no SA for you to flee.

You do know what internationl sections are.

ooooooh! ...my dimwit friend, Andrewza! You never get it...what i am rying to tell you is that "what they claim to deny you in public, they bring to you in private". we have been there before and know how the hypocrisy runs.

...and with your Sad African golden pie, just as we have told you many times ...shove it up your arsssxse...

solbil: you nigerians have a false opinnion of yourselves. Who says the AU cannot do anything. With the backing of SA, the AU can launch a successful millitary campaign against those HIV infested simpletons you call soldiers. This is so possible with our superior fighter jets.

^^^

who opened your cage?

andrewza:

A invasion is not going to happen i agree and if the coup plotters are smart they could lessen the economic backlash to a few weapons sales sanctions.

But international sanctions would cripple nigeria, your industrial base is to small for nigeria.

^^^

you Sad Africans again?!!!...don't I know you from somewhere?

Let me educate you again. We have weathered international sanctions before under the khaki boys. what you call sanctions is simply another level of international politics. Nigeria turned to the East because of sanctions from the West, guess what happened? ...West came running back through private proxies. The sanctioned our national carrier, we banned BA. They kicked because of new local decree and Shell got a kick. We got sanctioned from buying arms, Cote de Ivore and Ghana received arms on behalf of ECOMOG which ended in our armories. China and India ran to fill the market space sharp-sharp! Even recently, we called for arrest of Henry Okar and the host country was "playing" politics, ...next we told then we are nationalizing MTN and Multilinks...fiam!!!...immediately immediately, Gideon Orkar was landed in jail.

It is part of why WE ARE THE TRUE [size=32pt]GIANT OF AFRICA[/size].

All wannabes can go throw shit....

andrewza:


I know that 80% of of the defense budget is spent on personal, that DICN and Naval Dockyards have never posted a profit even though they are set up has profit based companies. The short fall is taken from the defense budget. I know that there is masive level of corruptsion in the handling of defense money with littel accounterbielty.

Although Nigeria contributed much to liberate South Africa from the stranglehold of apartheid and, thereafter, threw her economic doors wide open for South African investors and goods, these actions have not stopped a low estimation of her citizens by South Africans, the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Kingsley Mamabola, said on Tuesday, in Abuja, at a meeting with the minister of interior, Emmanuel Ihenachor.

Answering a question from NEXT at the meeting planned to explore ways of broadening the existing bilateral relationship between both countries, Mr. Mamabolo gave reasons for the increasing hostilities and physical attacks launched against Nigerians in South Africa.

According to him, the regard for Nigerians in South Africa is very low because the criminal activities of a few Nigerian citizens there are the most visible things to the hosts. He denied, however, any insinuation of government backing for the attacks, insisting that a lot of effort was being made to offer Nigerians in South Africa more protection under the law.

“There is a lot that needs to be done about the perception of South Africans about Nigerians. The perception South Africans have about Nigerians is not good at all. Those Nigerians of a very tiny percentage - I will say just about one percent - engage in crimes that are generally seen by all and which overshadow the good works of the majority of Nigerians.

“South Africa is a law abiding society. There is law and order in our country. There is no lawlessness. South Africans as a whole fight for human rights in general. So, it is not true that the government is not doing anything on the situation. It is only in the newspapers that you see that (the hostility against Nigerians),” Mr. Mamabola said.

Responding, Mr. Ihenachor openly refuted a tag of ‘haven of piracy’ and related criminal activities wrongly placed on Nigeria in the global maritime industry.

Poor perception

The minister denounced the poor perception and challenged promoting the perception to either show evidence of the high activities of pirates in Nigeria or stop the image smear.

“I remember that he said that when he (Mr. Mamabolo) was posted here (to Nigeria), people were saying: ‘why are they punishing you? Why are they sending you here?’

“Now, he is enjoying Nigeria. It is an issue of perception,” the Nigerian minister said.

“If you read the papers and go on the Internet, you will never want to come to Nigeria because they say Nigeria is the second piracy capital in the whole world. This is untrue. I, as a master mariner, I have always been saying that I have not seen even one pirate in Nigeria. I do not know where those reports are coming from. If you report that Nigeria is a piracy nation, then there is a tendency that insurance on all the goods coming to Nigeria will rise,” Mr. Ihenachor said.

Mr. Mamabolo promised to look into the case of the deportation of a Nigerian from South Africa for non-possession of yellow card, with a view to preventing a future occurrence.

Apart from immigration issues, other areas the FG is planning to explore through the meeting with the South African government include prison management and maritime enterprise.

The South African government says it hopes to learn from Nigeria how it has successfully engaged in international peacekeeping for years now, as well as how it has effectively managed the conflicts of its federating units to form unity in diversity.

sambos994:

What do you mean by "constant breaks in between". Are you even hearing yourself?

Bro, can you now see what I was saying when I said the guy no get sense?

Fighter Pilot:

I wouldn't blame you because English is not your mothers tongue, that's why you would rather prefer pidgin like a Chinese trying to spell pigeon which makes a lot of sense. We English speakers we generally refer to that Pidgin or Pijjin simply as pigeon English.

DISASTER!!! ...is that what they taught you in the "world class" schools you attended in SA?

my friend, we are speaking English here, that is Afrikaan spelling of PIDGIN o!

You no dey shame? Dictionary spells it one way and you are quarreling with Wikipedia for spelling it correctly, abi you dey crase ni?

COme, which school did you graduate from? I need to know where your brain got this twisted.

sambos994:

There are many types of pidgin english. It just happens that homerac is speaking Nigerian Pidgin Englsh. And it's "pidgin" not "pigeon". Don't you know the difference between an animal and a language....MUMU!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin_English

Thank you jare my broda, helep m,e tell that olodo boy.

Fighter Pilot:

Pidgin is a misspelling from those who had a bad command of English language, especially that word is suspected of being derived from the Chinese. It is a widespread knowledge that Chinese are very bad in English. Those who are proficient in English language would comfortably refer to pidgin as PIGEON. Finish and klaar.

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

^^^

Another evidence to show say you no get sense. I just showed you how dumb and daft you are from Encarta dictionary, yet you stupiidly are trying to debate with Wikipedia just to make yourself feel good. Are you normal at all?

Fighter Pilot:

Let me correct you chief. Pigeon English is spoken worldwide and is not something that is exclusive to Nigeria. Everybody who is not in good command of English would surely speak his/her English in a pigeon(dove)-like manner in relation to the region they come from.

No chief, there is only one pigeon English, it is only that in Nigeria they misspell it. The correct spelling is PIGEON. It is a bad English that is mainly spoken by those who are not well educated. The pigeon is mostly used in combination with indigenous languages, but the use of this language is fading as most South Africans are becoming fluent in English everyday.

^^^ evidence to show say you no get sense:

pidg·in [píjjin]

Fighter Pilot:

"YOU NO GET SENSE" is a bad English and I wonder who taught you that rotten English.

Let me put it to you that you are just wasting your energy trying to elaborate something that is straightforward. TOGO could manage to identify some weaknesses in Nigerian Navy to deal effectively with prevalence of piracy in Nigeria, that's why they offered to help. Is that too much of everyone to understand? You only help those that you see really need help. Do you think that TOGO would have offered to help if Nigeria would have been handling the situation successfully? The answer is a big NO.

Again, you no get sense, otherwise you would have seen that i have always had to go between standard English and African patios to make ideas and concepts that are too "advanced" for your underdeveloped brain simple and familiar enough. But like I have proven severally in my laborious and painful exchanges with you, you still no get sense.

Sorry I can't help your hopeless situation you deluded soul.

By the way, stop spreading this s.hit that has been roundly discredited. Go look for your Soweto neighbours and tell them the lies, we know better:

Fighter Pilot: SANDF is indeed not just a toy to play with. Just note that after our comrades were attacked on a deadly ambush by Seleka rebels in CAR we retaliated en mass until our enemy raised the white flag to beg with our forces in a plea to stop killing their child soldiers.

WE ARE VERY AGGRESSIVE EVEN IF WE ARE OUTNUMBERED. what the f>ck !!! get over the thrashing brov

This is the proof below.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) which is the biggest opposition party in South Africa noted the Killing of over 800 rebels in CAR after the ambush of SA soldiers. Read the full story below;

Capnd143: long time bro! You guys still logging horns with these SA military sluggards? @andrewza and co, hw is ur argument going?

Bros I dey o! Abeg no mind those muntula. them daft die!

How bodi?

Once more you are not making any sense.

it confirms what I said earlier that you no get sense and you are deficient in English language comprehension.

Firstly, let me put it to you that I am not an Afrikaans speaker, though I seem to be proficient in it, Afrikaans is not my mother's tongue. I am an English speaking coloured originally from Richards Bay, Kwazulu Natal before we relocated to Pretoria. English is my home language and am a mixed bred from the Malay and Indians who were brought to South Africa from Asia during the epoch of slave trade in the late 1700's.

irrelevant stories... who asked you? go tell it to the fishes.

TOGO WILL HELP NIGERIA FIGHT PIRACY

Yes they will ...and they always will. Proving we have assurances and trust of our allies and neighbours due to good foreign policies based on mutual respect and sustainable partnership. Not Rambo-wanna-be-s who "jumped" into domestic fight with poor intelligence and understanding, only to be caught up and sent running in body home in body bags and with tail between legs.

Now you see that "you no get sense"?

Fighter Pilot:

I don't see your bone of contention. The fact is TOGO will help, or should I say assist/aid Nigeria to fight piracy. Help/Assist/Aid is much of the same thing, I don't really see your point of argument.

You no get sense. Ordinarily it wouldn't have mattered, but given the bias of you dolts, it needs proper clarification. Your futile intent is to paint a sordid impression of weak Nigeria being helped by lowly Togo. But you are too limited by your myopia that you still dont understand the CONTEXT of the HELP being talked about here. I will TEACH you since I have empirical evidence of deficiency of you people in English language comprehension;

You don't carry out a cross-border operation without the cooperation (HELP) of the landlord(s), otherwise you will get into trouble and be disgraced out just like SA in CAR. The report mentioned Operation Prosperity which is a "joint" naval operation on coast of Togo, (not Nigeria you dumbhead). In simpler grammar, Nigeria is helping Togo secure her coastline from pirates as Togo has no navy, so Togo MUST provide all necessary assistance/HELP to make it work out or else Nigeria backs out and leave Togo to face her problems. Use your common sense, how can Togo without a navy help Nigeria Navy deal with piracy in Nigerian waters? ...common, you get brain nah...!

Nigeria also has joint naval military ops with Benin Republic, Ghana and Sao Tome & Principe. Joint Army ops with Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Benin Republic. In other words, Nigeria has joing military operation with all her next-door neighbours, Bight of Benin Neighbours and is building same with Gulf of Guinea neighbours.

I have taken time to lecture you on English language your "world class" schools failed to teach you and logical reasoning your proven-to-be-useless military schools failed to develop in you. More importantly, if only you have CAPACITY TO LEARN, I have given you a hint on Nigeria's regional military policy of partnership. You don't just barge into people home and form commando, afterall you people should now be wiser after CAR experience. There are deeper politics and subtle nuances that need be mastered above public display of shiny military weapons.

Now, I need you to be humble enough and show the discipline of a good air-man by thanking me properly for the FREE EDUCATION you just received.

Fighter Pilot: TOGO WILL HELP NIGERIAN NAVY FIGHT PIRACY.

Togo to Aid Nigerian Navy’s Fight against Piracy
Posted on May 30 2013 by David Rider

The Ambassador of Republic of Togo to Nigeria, Colonel Addo Maman Tchalare has pledged the commitment of his country to assist Nigeria’s crackdown on insurgents. The Ambassador made the assertion while on a courtesy visit to the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Joseph Ezeoba at the Naval Headquarters, Abuja recently.

Col. Tchalare said over the years, his country and Nigeria have strengthened their diplomatic ties which enabled them contribute immensely to sub-regional, regional and global security as founding members of ECOWAS. The Ambassador reiterated that his country will do everything to assist a brotherly nation like Nigeria to overcome her current security challenges, stating that without the atmosphere of peace and stability, the region cannot attract investors.

He also thanked the Nigerian armed forces for their support to the Togolese military through scholarship which enhanced the capability of Togolese military officers who are trained at the Nigerian Defense Academy, Armed Forces Command and Staff College Jaji and the prestigious National Defense College Abuja.

In his response, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Joseph Ezeoba said the visit of the Togolese Ambassador has reinforced the need to partner in addressing insecurity in the sub-region. The CNS recalled the partnership between the Republic of Togo and Nigerian Navy which culminated in an operation code named “OPS PROSPERITY” aimed at addressing the challenges in maritime environment such as piracy and sea robbery.

Vice Admiral Ezeoba maintained that, though Nigeria is going through trying periods in respect of insurgency in some parts of the country, he is optimistic that the current challenges would be surmounted. He thanked the Republic of Togo for their show of brotherly commitment and solidarity.

If you still have difficulty in understanding after reading, then BEG me nicely enough and I MIGHT be favourable disposed to help you with the passage comprehension.

#so much for your world class education if it is dolts like you it churns out.

This matter surely needs SA intervention

The naivete you guys display here is appalling. You have repeatedly shown your ignorance of Nigeria internal politics (that's quite understandable), West African politics (Anglophone-Francophone polarity), Gulf of Guinea politics (Anglophone-Francophone-Portugese/ West Africa vs Central Africal blocks) regional politics. Right in the middle of all is Nigeria managing a delicate relationship with minions of foreign powers, yet still commanding so much influence.

It is so easy to see piracy and insurgency as present challenges for Nigeria to handle, but only those who are informed understand the intricacies.

In the very naive and daft opinion of some dingbats here, SA Navy is the messiah....now how more silly can an opinion get? SA navy that has acutely limited brown water capability tackling pirates in flying boats? ...Do you get it at all? Well thats the flimsiest side of it DO you even know the politics behind the crime? ...surely you dont know. If from your crass logic, SA were to be in this very geographical space, the region would have imploded in a serious international wars of proxies which the main proponent (SA) will come out the biggest loser because you just played into the enemy's game plan.

The ignorance of complex and fragile regional and internal political intricacies that use these crimes as smoke screen as basis of your misguided opinion on Nigeria is why I have spared no abusive adjective at you guys.
