Witnesses said the to Al- Arabiya.net that four military aircraft landed three days ago in Benina airport on the outskirts of the city of Benghazi in eastern Libya, is believed to be on board of what they called a "mercenary Africans," They came from African countries did not know their nationality yet, but some of them said they speak French.



The witnesses have been arrested on some of them, and confessed that they had received instructions from khamis-Gaddafi, son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, to fired live bullets at demonstrators.
There are reports said units of the Libyan army has joined to the ranks of the protesters after the publication of "African militias" in the streets.



: "Generation of Libya" website said that several planes landed at the airport "Mitiga" military bearing "mercenaries Africans", dressed in military fatigues to Libya, where it is sent to hot spots in the Eastern Region, and deployed in Tripoli, especially in the areas of Gurgi and Got Alshall .

ntelligent people read and research books in their spare time, therefore they do not need to be spoon fed about topical issues, the mark of a non functioning brain is one which constantly needs to be baby sat, guided and tutored ad nauseam, do you not do research at your backwater evening college?

There is a source, I would dig one out in a moment.

@poster
I think alhj harem,

has shown u where u add Alhj. to the man's name, even that Tajudeen is a subtle way of drawing undue attention to the man's name. The man is simply Fola Afolabi and I am sure friends, family members and associates call him by this name not some political correct nomenclature.

[size=18pt]Mr Jonathan, let me tell u the truth, and I am sure u sef no the truth, this Presidency thing the wahala too much, and as I see u, u be real omo jeje(easy going individual), those couples in the opposition are real fire-brand, Nigerians need them more than they need u. Nigerians are fed up of bUSINESS as usual .

At times I get the feeling you sef don tired, just like the Americans who delved into the unknown by voting a black President u too can give to Nigeria what they desire by accepting defeating honorably like they did in Ghana and your name would be written in Gold not only in this world but also in the after life. Mr President it would be a double whooper for u if can inform and tell the world that there are still men of honour in this shores.[/size]

If Goodluck Jonathan allows the SE slip from his grasp, then he is as good as goner.

@ poster

some salient point thus, but not entirely, obviously one can see Jonathan's recalcitrance with regards to development in the Nigera Delta but what he fails to know is that it was his predecessor that created the Ministry Of Niger Delta in other to give the place the much touted accelerated development. Since it is a full ministry it has a dedicated Minster and probably a "Minister for" so why after all these rather fancy name creation of a new Ministry, why create it when it is clear  the monster created would just be another cesspit of bureaucracy, corruption a pitiful toothless bulldog.

Is this an open indictment against Jonathan's competence or like the poster said,  just Mr President's coping mechanism at avoiding  playing to the gallery so as not to be seen as someone champion the cause of his people.

For crying out loud Jonathan has noting to worry about because the ministry is a full fledge ministry that is budgeted for and has a statutorily right to exist.

confession of a wictch born many dcades b4 IBB and OBJ, Uhmmm some story. Tales from moonlight And I woke up!!!

[size=14pt]What is the Governor doing about it. How can a king be abducted in his domain and he is keeping quite about it. What is the commissioner of police doing about finding this oba. As a Governor this problem can be dealt with in two ways, formely that is the Governor getting unto the IGP so that this issue can be resolved and the people go back to their homes and informally or what I call the " Eleweomo" way where the Governor would empower albeit covertly street urchins and other dregs of the society for a final solution to the ijaw probem in southern ondo state.

Either way the diapora ondo-yoruba's and other yoruba's are ready to support either action the Governor intends to take with money and kind. and obviously not forgotten to use the "new igbo opc" members as a forward attack members to test their loyalty.

[size=14pt]In as much as I don't support unruly and wanton excesses of share-holder's equity being lavishly plundered by supposedly fund managers and trustees, this idea of a CBN Governor taking over a private concern is not only sad but depressing. This spurious and suspicious concept whether it is an unnecessary high handiness on the part of the CBN can be detrimental to would be investors in future,  it is also a slight to the whole ideology of capitalism and all it stands for to say the least.

I believe whatever excesses Akingbola had as per liquidation or insolvency are issues within the ambit of allowable risk otherwise the CBN Governor in charge b4 Sanusi would have screamed blue-murder.

This sacrilegious and revolting idea of someone's sweat taken away from them and giving to another person is theft let us be clear and sincere about this without mincing words, calling it daylight robbery would be an under-statement,  so also  is the silly  idea of  a chief executive resigning or retiring his/her  post after 10 years service, the idea smacks of idiocccy that should  not be entertained.

Is it now the responsibility of the state albeit through her financial institutions  to tell a private citizen when he/she should  retire disregarding the millions of share-holders who should have a say on how their joint commonwealth is run.  Have we not gone down this familiar road before where  a bank was robbed blindly by executive fiat by the same familiar names involved in this theft( Alas the Saraki's) and the Societal Generale saga. It would appear this shameless penchance and conspiratoy behavior has become the mainstay of this family.

Societal Generale being a french subsidiary bank, has no respect of due process and it would appear it encourages such flagrant brigandage and misuse of the people's money, having recently read a piece(I[b] belief there is some truth in it)[/b]  where it was indicative that french troops operating in Northern Ivory Coast broke into banks in that country and catered away their loot of course in connivance with a Man Nigeria is now supporting in that country.[/size]

[size=14pt]Mr Jonathan should abandon this policy it would not work, it would just be a bottomless pit of wastage. In fact the policy would encourage the parents of these children to continue procreating to kingdom comes,  knowing the kids would end up being " omo ijoba" govt pickin. What of if all the alamenjeris from Niger, Chad and Mali start trooping into Nigerian knowing the Nigerian government is a benevolent host.

This policy should be scrapped and left at the top shelve as one of those election promises that would never come to fruition after all if Mr Jonathan Wins he would not be seeking a second term.[/size]

Would Luanda break Ikoyi 's unemero UNO ( or number status )

Ikoyi has some of the most opulent residential facilities in Nigeria and is thought to have the most expensive real estate on the entire African continent, with the average new apartment selling for N120 million (around US$1 million). However, due to the limited available land, many of these are vertical apartment buildings.

The rent for a luxury three-bedroom apartment in Ikoyi is between $45,000 and $80,000 (N5.2m and N9.3m) annually. Five years ago, it was between $10,000 and $30,000 (N1.16m and N3.5m) per annum. An acre (six standard plots) in Banana Island, Parkview Estate and Osborne Road in Ikoyi now sells for between N400m and N450m. Five years ago, it sold for between N50m and N150m. Nexus Nigeria [1] a real estate website operating from Ikoyi offers property purchase, sale and leasing opportunities.

This development is a radical departure from Ikoyi's original design, which was originally composed of modest single-family residences with large gardens. Considering the lack of constant electricity, pipe-borne water, and general decay in basic infrastructure that is typical of Lagos, concerns have been raised as to whether Ikoyi has the necessary road and water infrastructure to continue to sustain this type of development.

Ikoyi includes the newer suburbs of Banana Island, Parkview Estate, and Dolphin Estate.

Baba Iyabo must know more to this mystry than meets the eye after all he was MM's number 2 man.

Dangote is too big to be a governor.

I guess Mayor Bloomberg of NYC is too big to be a Mayor despite been a billionaire. You have to understand Mayor Bloomberg would rather be d Mayor of NYC than be d Governor of NY State. People run for office to protect their own intrest moreso a Billionaire who has made his money in that particular City.

Im sure a lot of secret nigerians are still there.

IF There is any military men out there who can u shed more light on this covert operation it would help. It would appear we have 5000 men who we have forgotten to bring back home. Just like Missing US GI's in Vietnam.

Considering MM was killed in a coup in early 1976, these Nigerian Soldiers may be abandoned to their own faith, I cannot re-collect OBJ bringing them back,  perharps we have a Nigerian battalion lost in the screcy of the cold wars of the 70's. That would be sad.

British Airways office, Angola

British Airways office on Muritala Mohammed Avenue in Luanda. At times I wonder wether all those soldiers were evacuated after d conflict been that the whole deployment was shreded in screcy.I think I read somewhere that they were shipped to Angola by British Merchant Navy Ship. They might have been left behind like d many Cuban fighters who are now Angolan citizens after marrying local girls.

The thumbs down because d whole mission was shreded in secrecy & mystry, nobody knew Nigeria sent a battalion to Angola, in fact Muritala Mohammed is held in very high esteem in In Angola that a majour throughfare in Luanda is named after him.

The fact that as many as 5,000 Nigerian troops fought in Angola around 1976-77 may be the most widely-unknown fact in the annals of Nigeria’s very long history of foreign military operations.

In the aftermath of January 1976 OAU summit where General Murtala Muhammed in his timeless “AFRICA HAS COME OF AGE” outing decisively swung the support of the OAU and Africa in favour of the MPLA regime, to the chagrin of their UNITA and FNLA competitors,  the FMG backed up the new MPLA government with N13.5m(US$20m) and sent a squadron of MiG-17 jet fighters in support.

It has now emerged that as many as 5,000 Nigerian troops were deployed to Angola and that they saw action in various theatres across the then war-blighted country.

Writing in an article entitled “MOSCOW’S NEXT TARGET IN AFRICA;Paying the Price for Angola“, Robert Moss clearly indicates that ….

QUOTE:

“The Nigerians are said to be heavily involved in Angola. Western intelligence sources report that Nigerian troops were present at battalion strength when the MPLA and the Cubans pushed south last year.  According to UNITA sources in Paris, the Nigerian strength has since been reinforced.

UNITA sources have tapes of radio intercepts showing that at least 5,000 Nigerian troops have been deployed in Angola. They are operating as far south as Mocamedes, and are also based in Lobito, Luanda and the eastern diamond mining town of Henrique de Carvalho.

UNITA claims to have intercepted radio communications in English (the common language between the Nigerians, the Cubans and the MPLA), in the Ibo, Hausa and Yoruba dialects, and in a form of pidgin Creole…, An intriguing sidelight is that UNITA also claims that a British shipping line played a key role in ferrying Nigerian troops and military supplies to Angola.

Nigeria, rich in oil and boasting an army of some 210,000 men, can clearly afford to be more than rhetorical in its backing for the guerrilla movements of southern Africa.”         END OF QUOTE

Corroborating this report, the world-renowned photo-agency GETTY IMAGES in an archival photo dated 1 January 1977 actually bears a caption which read as follows;

QUOTE:

“Caption: 1977: An Angolan soldier crawls beneath barbed wire trenches during training. Dr Jonas Savimbi and his UNITA movement is doing well in its fight against the ruling MPLA (Movement For The Liberation Of Angola), and its Cuban allies. UNITA claims to control at least half of Angola. In addition to the Cuban forces, Western intelligence sources report that at least 5000 Nigerian troops are also deployed in Angola, on the side of the MPLA.

Bayelsa=Angola,

Bayelsa should have more Range Rovers & BMW 6 class jeep than any state in Nigeria per sq mile but unfortunately noting is happening in this backwater. The Governors are dumb. If I were the one I would invite d Chinese over to come and transform my state into d St Tropez of Nigeria.

It seems d billionaire is warming up to d idea, I can tell from his demeanor. Get close & cozy to d ruling party & they would move mountains for u.

[size=16pt]THE DEVALUATION OF THE NAIRA IS THE GREATEST EVIL PERPETUATED AGAINST THE NIGERIAN NATION AND PEOPLE. IT SURPASES ALL THE POGROMS WE HAVE WITNESS IN THIS COUNTRY, IN FACT IT IS ONE UN-GOING AND CONTINIOUS POGROM, SENDING MANY INFANTS & ELDERLY TO EARLY DEATH. THE EFFECT OF THIS SHAMELESS POLICY HAS TURNED SISTER'S AGAINST BROTHER'S AND SON'S AGAINST THEIR FATHER'S IN THE NAME OF MAKING A QUICK BUCK THROUGH THE DASTARDLY ACT OF KIDNAPPING.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP AND  HALT THIS EVIL POLICY, WHY WOULD A COUNTRY UP TO A FEW MONTHS AGO, THAT HAS MORE IN RESERVE THAN THE PIG(Portugal, Ireland, & Greece) NATIONS CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN ABJECT AND DELIBERATE POVERTY.

WE NEED TO MAKE A STANCE NOW, IF FOREIGN EXCHANGE STARVED ZIMBABWE CAN MAKE A STANCE BY DECLARING THE AMERICAN DOLLAR AS THE OFFICIAL CURRENCY OF CHOICE IN THEIR OWN NATION DUE TO THE COLLASPE OF HER OWN CURRENCY WHY IS OUR GOD-FORSAKEN COUNTRY NOT EXERCISING HER RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION, A CHOICE ALL NATIONS IN THE WORLD HAS. WE HAVE SEEN BRAZIL, ARGENTINA ARE MANY SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES EXERCISE THIS INDELIBLE RIGHT WITHOUT RE-COURSE TO ANY SANCTIONS FROM THE POWERS THAT NEED BE.[/size]

Portugal is dead broke, they have noting hence why they are all migrating to Angola can u imagine a Portuguese man that
should be on d dough in Portugal getting $5,000.00 a month in Angola.

In addition, they have a race problem where the light-skinned mulattos are seen as superior, and some night-clubs have an unofficial policy of rejecting black patrons except they are connected or recommended.

Why haven't the blacks BURNT DOWN those establishments?

When will blacks say ENOUGH of this rubbish on the African continent too??

We need to stop these pale-skinned bastards from bringing their filthy, rotten ideologies to Africa.

That is social problem noting to do with development. If the President of the nation who is black man cannot do something about it, then who do u blame.
