All these mischievous guys with multiple monikers you can actually do something better with your lives rather than ventilating your frustrated and ignorant lives in public.

Lurker4Long:
Are you guys going? I heard Zim SAS might deploy this week, and the Angolans next.

As I mentioned.

sizzorchan:
And this one wey Josco is MIA, hope he's okay . we need some rambo intel

Josco's other identities have been active all along...

sizzorchan:
They have jurisdiction, says who? so you are telling me now that if the accused is in Nigeria and being charged with murder, committed within Nigeria, then US will tell Nigeria it has jurisdiction because the guy have a pending case to answer in the US?
there are tons of Chinese national wanted by the US justice dept, why didn't they go and get them in china because they have jurisdiction.
or go after those russian hackers. this nonsense of a powerful country claiming jurisdiction in foreign countries only apply to weak nations.
American law does not supercede another country's laws.
and yes I'm aware Nigeria have extradition treaty with the US, but if the accused have case to answer in Nigeria, he will.
That's why i said Nigeria need to see the evidence etc, then take it to court. A nigerian judge does not give a damn about American law or jurisdiction. And that judge get to decide if their extradition request is granted, not even the Nigerian govt
American law isn't international law.
This is my opinion on that.

If you take a deep breath, re-read what I wrote slowly, you'll find most of your response has no relevance whatsoever to what I wrote.

sizzorchan:
That's what I'm saying. if there is direct evidence that he's aware fraud was being committed etc, then that's a different story. but like i said before, if his actions take place within Nigeira, the arrest of the other guy etc, then he has also committed a crime within Nigeira.
Guess a judge will decide if that extradition would happen, which i think gives breathing space to Nigeria govt against US pressure

I don't know the particulars of this case. What I do know is that if the commission of a crime involves US dollars, or you transfer the proceeds of crime from say, Dubai to Nigeria, and your bank's clearinghouse is in the US, the Yanks have jurisdiction.

Moral of the story: don't use US dollars when committing transnational crime.

Nemesis4you:
I did once long time back posted ( then deleted ) about the drugs syndicate in SA , very unique and complicated ( too many players or rather collaboration between too many players ) in how it came about to be as i also did allude to how it came to be in Nigeria through it was pretty straight forward there

Just for the sake of conversation the most apt foot soldiers of any foreign agency is the criminal class , you create them , keep them employed , you earn from them as well as can make use them for your organizational purposes as u deem fit as and when required

Nice arrangement isn't it

@Kikuyu1
The Paki mafia has full support of Islamabad's wallahs. With Maputo port out of bounds, Nacala, Pemba and Mocimbia da Praca became the prime ports in East Africa.

Toju200:
I never knew an African country has already acquired the Mwari

There were 2 launch customers: one African and one Middle Eastern. With the US Socom competition, I expect more.

...3/3.

...2/3...

21 SA Infantry Battalion (21 SAI) has been on Jungle warfare training for 12 months to replace 15 SAI in the DRC. We strive for proper rotation: one battalion in the field, 1 in training and 1 in rest (which allows troops to maintain family life and go on courses for career advancement).
Deployment outside the country is 12 months and internally, 6 months.

Anyway, Jungle Warfare training encompasses the following:

• River Crossing;
• Map reading/ GPS;
• Battlefield/Tactical Intelligence and Drone Training;
• Field Craft;
• Advanced UAV Training;
• Mass Evacuation/Casualty;
• Base Protection;
• Vehicle and Foot Patrols (urban and rural);
• Jungle Warfare Orientation;
• Platoon Offensive Battle Drills;
• Fighting in built up areas and
• Helicopter Drills.

On completion of the training 21 SA Infantry Battalion will be handed over to Joint Operations for Mission Readiness Training (MRT) and/or employment to the Area of Operations.

1/3...

kabe1:
Oh.... That's fantastic.

Can you also confirm if the Mwari has been deployed there?

I think I read an article saying the aircraft is deployed along with the Rwandan contingent.

Can't confirm anything. I too rely on open sources. And yes, the Paramount Mwari has been deployed. Most likely by Moz, not Rwanda. In line with Moz currently acquiring lots of assets from Paramount.

kikuyu1:
And forumers insist I'm the conspiracy theorist! Flesh it out more if you can. I did hear some yrs ago Pakistanis were behind some farm attacks to produce drugs.

When we were doing anti-piracy patrols in Moz and Tanzania, we sent a sub out there for 40 days. The evidence of drug smuggling gathered was enough for Mozambique to complain that "covert" intelligence gathering wasn't part of the agreement. They soon allowed the patrol agreement to lapse.

They're squirming now because the full SADC deployment will contain a sub element.

Games are being played here.

kikuyu1:
WTF EXACTLY is behind this Moz' f'ery?

I have my own theories and they start with:
1) if I lived in Cabo Delgado, I would also pick up arms;

2) there's a reason the authorities in Maputo have been so reluctant to invoke the SADC Mutual Assistance Treaty, inviting Russian PMC (comprehensively defeated), and now Rwandese;

3) look at which powers aren't sharing in the bonanza;

4) the drug trade from Pakistan, which uses Cabo, with collaborators in high offices in Moz, to smuggle heroin to SA and beyond.

Stargate254:
Personally. I come here to celebrate African militaries, Whatever good there is, be it doctrine, equipment, battles, culture.. etc. but with the nature of humans, I can understand that sometimes we get competitive and we start comparing things and everyone ends up claiming or believing theirs is the best depending on who you ask.... which ends up in people throwing banter every now and then which is understandable. What I don't appreciate is someone throwing completely unwarranted insults like "unexposed Kenyan safari people who are armed with spare (did he mean spear?)" on a discussion that wasn't even about Kenya, WTF!

They even have a name for this manifestation of an inferiority complex: they call it high self-esteem. I kid you not.

ViceAdmirlAgain:
Comments on facebook suggest so

Are you guys going? I heard Zim SAS might deploy this week, and the Angolans next.

kabe1:
Are these Botswana Special Forces mixed in with regular troops?

Special Forces and paratroopers. I wouldn't call Paras regular troops.
It's Phase 1 of the SADC mission which is supposed to be reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, surveillance and setting up the C2 structures for the rest of the SADC brigade.

So the Paras are meant as QRF/backup should the SF teams run into trouble.

Unconfirmed reports have it that SA has also deployed additional troops as support to SF, most likely also Paras.

Get used to sarcasm

Appreciating sarcasm is a lost art.

RiceProducers:
Yet some guys think Nigeria should just be buying useless hardware like them stupid Arab countries. The Saudis don't have enough elements of national power for foreign intervention. The Sudanese are also not known as renowned fighters. Eventually they might be forced to contract things out to ISIS under the radar.

Some fangirls here get seduced by shiny trinkets; like the ones rating Morocco seriously, because of what's in the inventory.

Xbee007:
Data is ridiculously expensive in Nigeria. And we mostly pay for volume of data not speed.

The fibre infrastructure is installed by my municipality, and the Internet Service Providers mostly compete on speed and price.
There is no limit on volume.
Hence so many of us have been working from home on account of the virus.

Edit: poorer areas and incompetently run towns get screwed though.

OFF TOPIC

I was watching this video but half way I decided to download it, it's somehow a big file (350mb) but I have to download it.

Sorry for the side-track. 350mb is big? How much do you guys pay for data nowadays?
I have uncapped fibre at home, with speeds of 200mbps down and 50mbps up, at ZAR600(16 737,37 naira) per month.

sizzorchan:
its an opinion plus fact. wanna risk blood clot? i wouldnt. and its efficacy is also low compared to moderna or pfizer. j&j vaccine now comes with a warning here in the US, due to potentially lethal side effects.
i took pfizer, which has the highest effectiveness of them all
Which one you getting? i believe j&j is single dose.

Blood clots in 8 out of a million people is what would be regarded as a rounding error in accounting.
Anyway, this discussion is way off topic.

I got Pfizer.

Odunayaw:
Nigeria ought to borrow a leaf from Kenya

wait for it...aaand here comes the self-esteem brigade...

sizzorchan:
j&j is useless, less effective and dangerous side effects. IMHO.
I'm getting my 2nd dose today after work. a bit nervous lol. I've called off work for tomorrow. in case i get fever, chills and headaches. i hate this

The bolded being the operative sentiment. I'm going for my 2nd jab on 12 August. Just in time to get my vaccine passport so I can attend my cousin's wedding in Denmark in September.
