And this useless kid is still here. "Save us" indeed . Kiddo, once again, go stick to what you know and leave geopolitics to us adults. Now for the umpteenth time, GO READ YOUR BOOKS. Fill up that coconut head of yours with a lil knowledge before you run down here. As for me, I'm done arguing with your sorry retarded a$$. When you pass your WAEC, lemme know. Till then, bleep OFF.

ocelot2006:
You know you really really REALLY need to stick to what you know, like Davido and the shoki dance and whatever crap you kids like these. Leave geopolitics and military issues alone cos you've just embarrassed yourself, and your Op. Barras comparison with the actual civil war just confirmed the fact that YOU DONT KNOW JACK. Your problem's that you fling so many crap and gibberish on this thread in the hope that it'll mask your total lack of knowledge. 'problem is that you just confirmed that you're blockhead.

Oh BTW, we told the Chadians to get the Bleep out of Gamboru Ngala and Dikwa. I still don't see the heavens fall from Paris.

Now buzz off and go read your books. WAEC is coming.

I was fortunate to watched #GejWinsIt live program that was aired on Channels, AIT and NTA. The presidential score card was basically on fact and figures about GEJ administration and at a point a young short man said the administration had produced 4.5 Millions jobs for Nigerian within 5 years. wow! is all i could say, if Jonathan has truly produced that numbers of employments within 5 years, then he has done perfectly great in the area of unemployment and he really deserved great kudos from Nigerians.

come to think of it, who were those people that got the employments? Non of the people i know around me got a job under or through this administration, I know two people that got a slavery job under SUREP, masters degree holders collecting 25,000 naira as salary, this is not a job that worth campaigning for as far as am concern.

is there anyone here who is among the 4.5 Millions people that got a job under GEJ administration?

If truly 4.5 Millions Nigerians got a REAL job under Jonathan then the man deserve our appreciations, we should not be an ingrate.

ocelot2006:
Chei!! This boy is truly dumber than I thought oh....come oh, you want to compare the British Operation Barras against the Westside boys (REMNANTS of the defeated RUF) to the whole Sierre Leonean conflict that saw the Nigerian-led ECOMOG soundly trash the RUF with their backers from Liberia and Burkina Faso? Do you even know what Ops. Barras was all about? Lemme help, u do know it was a simple rescue mission to rescue some Irish Ranger regiment soldiers, right? You do know that the tactics of the Late Nigerian Gen. Khobe (RiP) in successfully retaking Freetown is still studied in military academies, including the prestigious West Point? Bros, you are TRULY a dumb turd-filled F.O.O.L.

rigarmortis:
the boko thing is more complicated, you fight then, they run across the border, regroup and recruit and come back.

but lately, with the borders waging multidimensional wars against them, they cant survive.

even the US couldn't win a guerrilla war in Vietnam.

"Sigh".....The slowpoke strikes again. If you ever bothered to follow this insurgency, you would've known that we initially entered this fight unprepared. How do you expect a military unit, well trained though but armed with just GPMGs and light skinned vehicles with a smattering of Otokar Cobras (equally armed with just GPMGs), to survive a gunfight with a numerically superior and we'll prepared enemy equipped with hundreds of technicals (pickups armed with Heavy Machine Guns HMGs and AA guns) RPGs, light arms, IEDs, and VBIEDs? How do you expect a military unit stationed in a remote location with the QRF/back up HOURS away (bad roads and no transport helicopters), equally equipped with just light arms and probably 1 or 2 temperamental ZSU-24 Shilka systems that have seen good old days so face off droves of same numerically superior and well equipped enemy without running the risk of being cut off totally and annihilated? Even at that, we still see our soldiers, who though disadvantaged from the word go, fight till the very last bullet before they decide to withdraw. This was TOTALLY unlike them.

The Chadians on the other hand recently came into this war FULLY ready and highly mobile. A typically Chadian convoy had EVERYTHING needed to repel any Boko Haram attack from their HEAVILY ARMED signature Toyota Land cruiser pickups, to IFVS, and Armoured cars, Manned by seasoned desert fighters equipped not only with light arms, but Pechenegs, RPGs, Dragunov sniper rifles, and even Barrett 50. Cal anti - material guns

Nigeria is my beloved country, even though I am outside now. I would not wish that what I saw in the revelation I had two weeks ago happen to Nigeria. I personally had prayed against it as a christian.
I personally do not belong to ANY party, likewise I would not be able to vote because of my location.

I became worried about the revelation. Note, I am not a prophet, but just a christian. However, I notice that God has given me some gifts of seeing special cases.

In June 7th, 1998, I went with my uncle who is a medical practitioner, to a night shift at UCH, Ibadan. Where I slept, God showed me the then President Sani Abacha being beaten mercilessly by some ladies who were holding a broom stick each. He was crying for help but he did not get. When I woke up, I did not understand what I got to do with the president, but I told my uncle this revelation as he prepared to leave duty.
Behold. some minutes after leaving the hospital the following morning June 8th, we started hearing noises around and people shouting. Only to find out that the President had died. My Uncle looked straight to my eyes. I also could not believe. But I knew God actually wanted me to know it before hand. God often do the same about my personal life!

What God Showed Me Recently....

-I saw a Government colonizing Nigeria.

-People were not free to do business.

-Students were being policed even to their classroom.

-School learners and teachers were recruited into military.

-No freedom of speech

-People started regretting the decision they made during the election


When I woke up, I was disturbed, I quickly shared this with my wife and we both prayed to God to have mercy on Nigeria.

I am still following the trend of happenings in Nigeria mostly via this forum (NAIRALAND), as this site usually keep us posted.

MY SUBMISSION TO EVERY NIGERIAN.

Nigeria is a God-owned country, and as such we should allow God to lead us in this forth coming election, not to be led by material things or any god-father (ism). Our decision will put laughter in our mouth or hardship around us in the next 4 years.

The "Good Destiny Time" for Nigeria is around the corner. We must not tamper with it. (I also saw in a revelation that I traveled back home and my home town was comparable to some places in the UK, I was so much happy about that revelation. This will surely come to pass)

Every Voter MUST pray for God guidance before casting the vote, so that the GOOD time can come quickly. God is prepared to lead us.

Nigeria would not break and it can never break.

Long life NIGERIA.

NIGERIANS STAY BLESSED.


CAST YOUR VOTE WISELY & BE GUIDED BY GOD.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Oh! you were unprepared? I see! I thought you claimed you are the battle tested giants of Africa now ordinary terrorists have just removed your under pants, when will you know shame? I am happy you agreed that the Chadians are "seasoned desert fighters" that is enough for me.

Mr Military secretary, dont think you can bamboozle anybody with military equipments, my questions come simple and cheap, as self acclaimed giant of Africa with Africa's second largest military budget, how come boko haram took you unawares? How come it took you 5yrs to even wake up?
Can you tell us in details what you saw in the Chadian armory on site that Nigeria does not have? thank gracious that I book marked the thread where you gave a comprehensive list of our arsenal.

See the way you downplayed your Armoured, tracked Shilka while praising Boko haram's AA guns mounted on soft skin, who do you think you are deceiving?
Speaking of which, you claim you have no back up chopper at the time but today, we read that the military is weaponizing the remaining Augusta 109, why are you weaponizing the Augusta now? same Augusta 109, that the military was using for kabu-kabu at Oronto douglas father's burial, that took the life of the most seasoned NSA Nigeria has ever produced and a sitting Governor?
Who do you think you are fooling?

Admit it, you guys have been sleeping and Chad is here to teach you some military tactics, sit back, relax and enjoy and dont forget to wave the Chadian flag in solidarity after Shekau's capture, nonsense!!

Is it not history repeating itself? after playing for 9 years in Liberia, Britain came and conducted operation Barras, and everything we fought for in 9yrs, Britain ended it in 3hrs, yet Dogonyaro was praising himself shamelessly as a tough achiever

You guys need to come to the private sector, by now none of you will be able to feed!! nonsense!!

ocelot2006:
OP. Pulo Shield was designed to end the ND insurgency.

Did we reduce MEND from a fighting force? YES
Did we eliminate all MEND bases? YES
Did we end the insurgency? Bleep YES!!

Now buzz off and go read for your JAMB resit exams. Oponu.

Did you capture the militants ring leaders yes or no?
Did we not bribe them against all odds to stop damaging our assets yes or no?
Now tell me again how OPS Pulo Shield became successful?

ocelot2006:
Point of correction, blockhead: France NEVER EVER recovered Bakassi for Cameroun. NIGERIA VOLUNTARILY ceded the peninsular in line with the ruling of the ICJ in favour of Cameroun. Prior to that we held on to the Island with threats leveled against Younde, and France didn't do JACK. This is something you ought to have known, airhead. And yet you wonder why you failed your WAEC and NECO exams multiple times. *tsk* *tsk*

ocelot2006:
Buttwipe, if you had even bothered to follow the kidnap siege in the SE, which Btw was a direct consequence of the ND insurgency no thanks to the flow of weapons and use of kidnapping as a tool of terror, then you would've known that the Police under the then AIG whose Zonal command was responsible for that AOR screwed the pooch big time, hence the need for the FG to reassign that assignment to the Army's 82nd Composite Division under the command of a GOC who served with distinction as the Commander of JTF and the architect of OP. Pulo Shield.

And yes I call OP. Pulo Shield a success. Did the Asari Dokubo even bother to pick up arms again especially after the expiration of the amnesty program and the beginning of massive military operations? Didn't Soboma George and Ateke Tom who ruled large in Port Harcourt take to their heels and ran back to the swamps like rats after JTF was given orders to capture them dead or alive? Did the notorious Camp 5, headquarters of MEND, not finally fall to the JTF? Yet you call Pulo Shield a failure? You must be a joker.

ocelot2006:
LMAO!!! Yeah right . Yet we held on to the Peninsula all those years, and even threatened to nationalise French Businesses here in Nigeria.


Fart-for-brains, we touched Cameroun for 10+ years and heavens did not fall from Paris.

ocelot2006:
Your allegation about me creating some sort of jealousy between Nigeria and Chad is simply untrue. However as a Nigerian, I will NOT sit back and watch the Chadians rubbish my country's name by running it's mouth more than necessary just because it enjoyed a two victories, and as a Nigerian I expect the same from you regardless of the flaws of our Armed Forces. What I find baffling is that so-called Nigerians like you have swallowed the whole Chadian narrative of the current conflict hook-line-and-sinker without at least sifting through available facts.

With regards the issue of equipment, it is true that the Nigerian military made mistakes in the past. Yes troops equipped with soft skinned vehicles like Toyota Pickups and Ford Rangers armed with simple GPMGs and little combat air support went against a numerically superior enemy armed with HEAVILY ARMED with HMGs and Vehicle mounted AA guns, surpluses from the Libyan conflict. How do you expect the former to survive a fire fight against that? Even elite US Special Forces will consider that foolhardy, especially without air support. Now in comes the Chadians. They are far less disciplined than the Nigerian Army, BUT they did come in with MASSIVE firepower from HMGS MOUNTED Toyota Pick up trucks to BMP-1 IFVS. Firepower - wise, it was already lopsided in favour of the Chadians. Still, the same Chadians mistakenly left their rear exposed. As for the Nigerian Military, the rearming of the Armed forces have been nothing short of impressive. New platforms (T-72 MBTS, BTR- 80s, BTR-4 IFVS, Igirigi MRAP, Bigfoot MRAPS, Ikri LAPV, CH-3A UCAVs, PUMA transport helos, Gazelle LUH, additional upgraded Alpha jets, better combat vests, new Beryl Rifles, REVA MRAPS, Mi-35 attack helicopters etc) have been acquired, we've recieved better tactical training from the Russians and Isrealis, our combat pilots are flying longer combat sorties from recon to combat air support, and we've learnt from our past mistakes. The result is all there for you to see from the victories in Adamawa (Mubi, Mitchika, Hong, etc), Yobe (Damaturu, etc), and Borno (Baga, Bama, Konduga, Maiduguri, etc).

rabzy:
why are you laughing like a maniac, you've obviously got some screws off. all these your rants has nothing to do with all i have written. i have never said Nigeria has the best infantry and neither do i believe that. So you can shove all that diatribe up the as.ses of those who said that. Nigeria has mismanaged this bokoharam madness for long and a lot of errors where committed because of political and ethnic wranglings.

But that does not mean Chad is now something they are not. Chad has been claiming battles they have never been close to for long. They equally claimed to have killed shekau when nothing was yet happening at their end. They have used pictures already posted days earlier by Nigerian soldiers and used it for their propaganda. So if you choose to believe chad that is your prerogative but dont thumb your nose down at others who believe otherwise or rant unendingly because that does not mean you have a clue, it only means you are unstable.

You are a disgrace to all nairalanders, how can you capture a town from terrorist without eliminating their control base.





Are you such a daft ?

ocelot2006:
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Nice joke about Paris !! Now I know you don't have a damn clue about this conflict. Now point(s) of correction: Nigeria NEVER EVER went to Paris to "beg" or push for the creation of the MNJTF. Far from it. Nigeria USED the French to STRONG - ARM our northern neighbours, PARTICULARLY CAMEROUN, into doing more to reinforce their borders and prevent Boko Haram from using their territories as a staging ground for attacks in NIGERIA. That singular move by the GEJ administration PUSHED the Cameroonian President Biya to deploy the military, particularly the BIR, in large numbers.

Even with the formation of the MNJTF or so, it is clearly on record that the Nigerian govt is reluctant to use them in our own territory, hence the command to the Chadians to halt their incursions at the boarder and back off. That said, the so-called MNJTF is somewhat useful as it aims to prevent BH from spilling over to neighbouring countries or using same countries and support bases to recuperate and reorganise. It equally woke our neighbours to the dangers of BH as it directly threatened their economies far more than ours.

It's funny though that you want to compare the minute Maitasine crisis to the Boko Haram insurgency, especially when the later group are flush with cash and excess weaponry acquired from the Libyan crisis. But I guess you didn't know that. Or the FACT that the Bakassi conflict was more conventional between two states. Or that we actually formed a Nigerian - lead MNJTF in the name of ECOMOG during the Sierra Leone bloody civil war. But hey keep spewing trash, you'll only expose yourself here as an airhead.

Rad1cal:
I repeat you are a very sad fool sir

Now stop polluting this thread with your half baked lies.

ocelot2006:
Blah blah blah, we've heard that before. Just like Cameroun. Tell me, what did the French do militarily against Nigeria when we held Bakassi all those years? Go on, I'm waiting.

ocelot2006:
Look at this foolish clown . Now I know you're a blockhead. The LAST success for the Nigerian Armed forces was NOT just Operation Pulo Shield, BUT the counter - kidnapping Ops in the South-East that saw the redeployment of then GOC 82nd Composite Division to Abia, the killing of the ringleader behind the kidnap ring by the Army, and the destruction of the kidnap ring. THAT success saw the redeployment of Maj. Gen. Sarkin Bello (rtd), who btw was recently in charge of the JTF behind the successful Op. Pulo Shield, to ONSA as the Director of Counter Terrorism at the start of the Boko Haram insurgency and terror attacks up north.

Btw here's a few info about Operation Pulo Shield ' s "failures": Warri was pacified, notorious Camp 5 was destroyed by the JTF, 2nd all - out offensive by MEND on Port Harcourt was soundly beaten off (2007 saw the first use of the Mi-35 Attack Helo in combat over the skies of Port Harcourt), cultists hideouts in Port Harcourt were totally dismantled and assets siezed and destroyed, massive arrests, waterways through creeks re secured by the Nigerian Navy, elimination of kidnapping rings, etc. If all those represents the "failures" of Pulo Shield, only God knows how the success looked like. Then again you wouldn't know, cos you're a bloody airhead.

ocelot2006:
Wow!! They captured 2 towns in less than 2 weeks?! Wow!! Far "better" than the Nigerian Army that captured 16+ towns within same period . And why won't they casualty figure be much less when they just joined the fight 2 weeks ago compared to the Nigerian military that has born the brunt of most, if not all, of the major attacks for years? And please do tell how "strategic" Gamboru Ngala and Dikwa is (other than them being border towns). The same Chadians that left their rear exposed at Fotokol? And glad to see their airforce is working. But you do know that it was the Nigerian Airforce that flew the combat sorties during the offensive in Gamboru, right? No? Of course you don't, but still spew trash here even though all your posts reeks of stark ignorance.

ocelot2006:
Chad NATO member?! LMAO Chei! ! So many ignorant fools running around here ! Good lawd. We're talking about the same Chadians WE assisted during the Pickup Wars in the 80s, right? And you really think they can take on the Nigerian Armed Forces conventionally? Mehn, thanks for the joke.

ocelot2006:
GEJ's siblings? I understand the mistrust for the current administration. What I don't get is the fact that your hatred for GEJ has so blinded you that you're now spewing garbage on the thread. Btw, no one is "hating" on the Chadians. Far from it. And yes they fought gallantly at Gamboru Ngala and Dikwa. What we WILL NOT tolerate though are the half truths and some outright lies peddled by the Chadians eg them and the Nigeriens carrying out deep incursions in Nigeria when they were actually at Bosco in Niger Republic, or the claim of the Chadians spear heading the current operations when it's actually the Nigerian military calling the shots and undertaking most of the military operations. And we certainly won't condone the insults from the Nigeriens.
