Sizzorkay:This is not a police operation. How many times have you seen US marines with hand cuffs? |
Nigerian Navy Special Forces rescue kidnapped foreign sailors, arrest one suspect after 3 hours gun battle. Special troops of the Nigerian Navy on Tuesday night 7th and early hours of Wednesday 8th January engaged sea pirates who kidnapped foreign sailors in Bayelsa state in a marathon gun battle and rescued three of them while arresting one of the pirates. Recall that these same pirates in perpetuating the kidnapping act killed four Nigerian Navy ratings. It was gathered that personnel of the Forward Operations Base (FOB) Igbokoda at its Awoye outpost had been laying siege since the incident of the attack and killing of the naval personnel at Agge in Bayelsa state Having received intelligence at about 11pm, of an approaching speed boat suspected to be carrying kidnappers and victims of kidnapping, the naval Special Forces were deployed in some gunboats to the entrance of the Sea. On sighting the naval gunboats, the kidnappers opened a volume of bullets on the navy. It was however gathered that the naval forces in a tactical manoeuvre, not to hurt the kidnapped victims, trailed the suspects who beach landed at a nearby creek and fled into the bush. Thereafter, the general environment was combed with support of community youths and backup of naval personnel from Idi-Ogba and Abereke outpost. Consequently, one of the suspect named Martins Egenuvhe from Olopa Community in Bayelsa state was arrested with a rifle. After some hours, three (3) of the foreign nationals were rescued and have been evacuated to naval base for further investigation.

Sizzorkay:I agree, but nothing wrong in having a debate. Should we talk street football instead? |
Nigeria New patrol boats for Nigeria. This time from China
|
Sizzorkay:Yes, I we do have say in this matter because the outcome affects us all one way or another. If the US, China and India stop buying oil from us, we would be in trouble. A US war on Iran would be beneficial to Nigeria, actually very beneficial, but the ripple effects might be dangerous as extremist shia may take up arms in Nigeria and wage a campaign against US interests in Nigeria. If US workers don't feel safe in Nigeria they would pack up and leave, a situation that would mean the US won't buy the Nigerian oil again, which is eventually bad for Nigeria. So infact a US war with Iran is actually bad for Nigeria. The world is too interconnected. |
Sizzorkay:The world was a very dangerous place in the 40's, 50's and 60's. During the cold war with the USSR, Cuba became a communist state, they had missile from the USSR stationed in Cuba. You can target any part of America from Cuba with missiles from the USSR, nobody not even the Nigerian government would accept that. Imagine boko-haram controls Chad or Niger or Cameron and runs the place, Nigeria would invade the very next minute. National security cannot be compromised. It was a legitimate attack. In Iraq, why don't you tell us why Iraq invaded Kuwait, threatened Saudi Arabia and threatened oil supplies. It was a legitimate attack too in Iraq. Saddam Hussein was a threat to world peace, his boasted he had nuclear and chemical weapons. Please read up and find out why Israel bombed Iraq. In Libya, taking out Ghadaffi was not the right thing to do, but in Libya, Ghadaffi sent his fighter jets to bomb protesters. Is that a sane thing to you. Please read up the reason Libyan pilots ran away with fighter jets and landed in Malta. China is no saint at all, neither is Russia. Please you need to read up on the activities of Russia and the USSR in Africa. In China and Russia, basic human rights for their own citizens are not respected, now you think they would treat a foreigner better than their own citizens? It won't happen. You cannot access defenceweb.co.za from China this is a fact. |
Sizzorkay:One of the reasons I like Trump is, he tells you that nobody has monopoly over violence. If you want to be violent, he'll fight you in the mud, he will win you, drag you in the village square and parade you naked. However, if you want to talk, and negotiate, make a deal, he's also keen on that. |
Sizzorkay:I also found out on foreign policy, the world needs an unpredictable American president. Trump has shown that he's good for world peace. I think he should be considered for the Nobel Peace price. If you disagree, you can ask me. |
Sizzorkay:The world needs America to stay sane, this is the fact. They do have a disturbing selective amnesia, but there's no alternative to them. The world won't be a better place with China, the Chinese are good in a distant number 2, but America has to always be number one. This Iran episodes is the exact reason we need America. |
From these satellite images, Iran has shown it has the capabilities to defend itself. You can see the damage on the base. However Iran also has shown it cannot fight the US, as the damage on the base is deliberate miss on some targets. It looks like it hit close to helicopters though.

GeneralFarouq:America truly is the world police. |
The US is deploying additional troops to guard Manda Air Field and Base in Kenya. i thought some Kenyans were claiming here that the airstrip is for both civilian and military? with no Americans guarding it. How come a foreign power is guarding the air base?

These boats are not for the Nigerian navy. They are for a Nigerian private military contractor based in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria. African customers have ordered patrol boats that have been built by Vietnamese shipyards, the country's Tuổi Trẻ newspaper reported on 2 January. The story and accompanying video focused on the delivery of 50 patrol boats that had been ordered by an unidentified billionaire and showed several small craft being loaded onto a cargo ship for delivery to Port Harcourt in Nigeria. More significantly, Tuổi Trẻ also reported that 10 "armoured patrol boats" were awaiting delivery for unidentified African customers and showed them lined up at a location that could be identified as the Hong Ha Shipbuilding Company facility in Haiphong. https://www.janes.com/article/93550/vietnam-to-deliver-patrol-boats-to-african-customers?socialmedia=twitter

PrinxArthur1:Yes Sir. |

PrinxArthur1:Russia is offering them S400. |
IGpro1:Although I did not check if American air defences are present in the air bases, but Patriot defence systems in use with Saudi Arabia have proven to be inferior to Russian equivalents. |
PrinxArthur1:I think it shows US air defences are no where as good as that of Russia and Israel. |
SuperSixSeven:You are right. |
jteku:Maxxpro MRAP, not ARA MRAP
|
jteku:So you don't know the difference between a drone strike and an helicopter attack, you dey fall hand oh. |
American troops patrolling in Kenya
|
jteku:I counted 22 people that survived the direct strike. |
Fidha254:American base within Kenya base. Doesn't make sense to me, but I'm not Kenyan so. The base in question. About the MRAP I'm just putting it out there. The Nigerian army says it's a hell of a machine, that's why I'm saying.
|
Fidha254:Now I get you. However we're talking about a dangerous local government area. The airstrip is used by the military, including civilians. One would think security would be better. Kenya should buy Proforce MRAP, they are serving Nigeria well. |
