sheyie2007: wow! do you think BH boys are really Nigerians? research on it.. you know nothing man.. your children neva learnt anything cuz their brain capacity is low.. this is why nigerian high school students always top international competitions.. go figure! the only hero recognized from your country is Mandela, after him, the rest of you are cowards, that's why you worship him like god... "white man thingz" ..lol...

souldust: we have culturally colonized someone in here, he even uses an Igbo word tufiakwa! (God forbid!). Zulu words are unknown here in nigeria.

sheyie2007: you praise your techies like they were built by you blacks, your dimwitted people(blacks) are xenophobic, murderers and molesters.. we black Nigerians will be forever superior to your blacks anyday... yes it's true, we have bad eggs amongst us and so far, 419 is only thing you can point out, but come down here to the west and see how many business savvy Nigerians are prospering.. the future is bright brov... Irrespective of the nigerians into drugs down there, I learnt many hold professional jobs and good businesses as well, don't expect a country with a population of over 160millie to have only good peeps.... yours is 5#millie, the homicide and child molestation rate is alarming..deal with your problems man!

agaugust:
the whole world knows south africa paid millions or billions of dollars to israel for direct transfer of nuclear power to south africa. no country has ever built nuclear power on its own without the help of USA or RUSSIA, all other countries paid money to buy it and get it transferred from the first two super nuclear powers of the world, that is what britain, france, china, and israel did. india, pakistan, and iran also paid billions of dollars to russia or china to get nuclear weapons transffered technology. this is open news the whole world knows.

be honest south africans, your scientists did NOT develop nuclear power at home, you paid money to the government of isreal that was desperate for cash to transfer nuclear power to south african soil and teach you how to manage it. the whole world knows that, and it was the reason OAU of africa now AU, was always against israel even after the egypt israeli war ended long ago. dont try to take glory that does not belong to you okay?

south africa is an over-rated balloon, good country, but grossly over-rated with a false air of 'invincibility'. go sit down.

agaugust: andrewza i will answer you after i post two new comments for snydergp and msauza to read so that they will not over rate south african military again. every country has old weapons, nigeria has, and south africa has old weapons too, very very many. lol

andrewza dont make excuses for the next two posts below, stay out of this, until after snydergp and msauza make one silly excuse for old south african weapons, since they know how to insult nigerian weapons, let me hear them talk like 3 year old children here today and prove to us how they will use those museum piece weapons to defeat nigeria, the giant of africa. lol.

agaugust: hey south african guys, everytime you write about all that your country has in terms of technology, always remember to say thank you sir, to your boer white-man masters who build every good thing in your country, and they are stll the brains behind every good thing in south african today as far as technology is concerned. for me, i dont know if i can boast of what someone else built during the time i hated that same person, then i now boast...i have this, i have that ! you get my point ?

sometimes when you want to measure your level, try compare your blacks with other blacks in africa, like ghana, afterall your white-masters set you free since about 20 years ago, be grateful to the boer and dont kill him.

souldust: what you have said hardly feature in Nollywood. I am sure you have seen many Nollowood movies where people move from the villages to Lagos to get so rich.

The Nollywood is too big for you to paint black. So stop trying to do what you cant do.

Day by day, things get better in nigeria.
If they arent getting better, how then did you expect us to be growing by 7percent. How did you expect smart phones to be so common here? How did you expect we could afford the several brands of satellite tvs we have here? How comes we are getting more connected to the internet as the day goes by? How then did we get to buy the somany cars we have on our roads.

I am sure you know the trend in our country today... It is the ruh for private jet and yatch!

Our economy is moving very rapidly from oil and power has improved drastically in nigeria. Since i came back on holiday, we are guaranteed at least 16hrs a day. Thats over 70percent improvement for us and over 200percent for some others. So those managing the country are not morons like andrewza called them.

agaugust: too many weapons in nigerian military, so many to write about. we both have powerful military forces, its just a matter of how much information we know about each other.

andrewza, i promised to answer you question about nigeria's delay to deploy in mali.

mali issue has politics involved. mali issue has ecowas and united nations protocol bureaucracy delays.

mali issue has france involved and france takes mali as extension of its territory.

france always suspects nigeria because nigeria is anglophone and more powerful than the francophone countries .

international diplomacy demands that nigeria should respect france which has its military forces stationed in mali long long ago before nigeria deployed. no country, not even USA will move military force without permission, into a conflict zone when another super power country has stationed its military there ahead of time, otherwise you can have military confrontation with a friendly nation. france is a friend to nigeria, we recently bought new and latest weapons from france for our navy and army, and france has oil companies doing big business in nigeria, so we have to show friendship and respect. nigeria needed permission to deploy in mali because the france deployed there before us.

france declared yesterday that they will not stay and fight in mali for too long. that is why they agreed that ecowas should deploy forces led by nigeria this new year january. simple french tactics, they want to withdraw from the fight when the islamist fighters change to more dangerous hide and seek guerrilla tactics later on , after heavy french armour and aircraft has pushed the rebels into hiding and made them angry which leads to guerrilla warefare that is very hard to win, yesterday on BBC news, france says they want to withdraw from mali sooner or later, and nigerian forces must lead ecowas into a potentially deadly mali religion faith guerrilla war that causes to many infantry casualties which the french are avoiding because a white man is never a fool, they want blacks to do hand to hand combat with blacks and we kill each other. they know how many casuslties the army of Russia suffered from Afghanistan islamic guerrilla fighters called mujaheedin.


nigeran military proved a point to the world with our solo effort to rapidly deploy in mali in 24 hours, nigeria used our C-130 harcules and moves about 1,000 soldiers, several armoured vehicles, jet fighters and helicopter gunships into mali all within 24 to 48 hours without any support from any country in europe and america. i think for a black nation, all black and no white, nigerian military has achieved a lot in real live operations. france got worlds biggest type of military transport aircraft and many free desert terrain 4x4 troop transport vehicles support from canada, britain, and USA, all these white nations saw that nigeria was deploying soldiers and weapons but they did not want help a black nigeria, they chose to help france. some of the military power show that nigeria does in africa makes the white men uncomfortable, they see an emerging black power nation in nigeria, all black no white, and the white men are not feeling easy, they say to themselves....that is how china started and becomes great today.

i work and live in america, and i can tell you that i am lucky to have a good job. the white man will never truly love the black man, they wish we dont even exist at all. its a natural hatred for our black skin colour which in not very nice in their own white eyes.

international politics affects international military deployment, but when there is a will, there will be a way.

souldust: someone here is boasting about being westernized. I cant laugh. You probably think its a compliment to be westernized. I dont blame you for thinking this way afterall, you were under ...whats the name now....apart... You can fill in the gap.

scipher: ha! this shows you know nothing! infact, I challenge you, open a thread and enter what you wrote above and let nairalanders coach you! I've been to your country man, just boast of guess, uzzi to name a few ( chineese materials)... your swag is dead man..

scipher: make a white man president after zuma and I'd be convinced you're one!

souldust: talking about culture. Nigerian culture is found every where on the continent so much so that there is a talk of 'nigerianization' of the continent. Look every where, you see tuface, dbanj,psquare etc. Omotola etc.

Our attire is worn by every one on the continent. Even the BBC's Ugandan Alex Jakana said he owns a couple of nigerian dresses in his wardrobe. We have so much colonized this continent culturally that african culture is the same as Nigerian culture.

Even your DSTV does not have have a single Zulu channel. But there are Africa magic Hausa, and Yoruba and very soon, there will be Igbo too.

scipher: and what are you revealing now? your country is built by whites deal with it man... label Nigeria as bad as you want, our blacks will still be superior to yours anyday! look what we've made of it.... in year 1960, you were building roads for Afrikaans, and still required documents to access some areas in your own country.... you should keep shut!

scipher: and stop lecturing us about apartheid, we know your filty stories.. we're not dumb as y'all.. an average nigerian high school student will analyse your government without flaws..

souldust: in Education, we have produced some of Africas finest writers. Chinua Achebe,Wole Soyinka, Elechi Amadi, Chimamanda Adichie, Ola rotimi, Cyprian Ekwensi, Helon Habila etc.

Our own engrs built our space satellites. We have four satelites and today, we are one of the few if not the only african country to have a functioning space agency. Our engs also, are in our devence ind developing military technologies and in the next 5years, we will start building our own combat planes.

He have a funtioning financial sector that for 9years and for every single day of that 9years, the financial sector has remained the most active part of our economy.

Today, even without adequate power supply, our generator powered economy will soon become the largest economy in Africa and BRIC will become BRINC.

scipher: don't lecture me dude, I learnt all that in high school..how is Nigeria lagging behind? are you talking about our military again? speaking of infrastructure, we've got hot places in nigeria as well as slums, I can't start posting pictures as you can find them on other threads. and we're still developing, you don't know what Nigeria looks like man, I bet you've never been to any other country in your life! your visual of nigeria is what your tv stations televise for y'all to see down there .. like you emphasized above, your slums were upgraded when anc came into power cuz the Afrikaans were building business districts for themselves by using you guillable blacks hence neva gave a s#it about your place of abode..if mandela neva existed / any freedom fighter at all, south Africa will be ruled by whites and would have been pretty much advanced than what it is today.. the Afrikaans still dictates the tunes played by ANC.. they'll never give total control to you blacks; they wouldn't want to watch what they've built over a hundred years go to the dogs.

EFX001: A QUOTE FROM EX SANDF COMMANDER EeBEN BARLOW (PLEASE GOOGLE FOR MORE ON MR EEBEN)

Unfortunately, South Africa like many African countries, accepted the “free” advice that was given by foreign military advisors and governments. One of the “suggestions” was that the new SANDF (it is no longer the SADF) should purge all those in combat units that “posed a threat of conducting a coup”. The end result is that many soldiers, black, white and coloured were “retrenched” leaving the new SANDF with a very limited pool of knowledge. Even sadder still is that a weakened SANDF has no ability to project any reasonable amount of force – anywhere.

The old SADF was, despite its antagonists, not really a political machine and the idea of staging a “coup” was never really on the cards as it saw itself as an instrument of the state. Had it wanted to conduct a coup, of course it could have done so – but it didn’t even consider that an option.

Those of us who love our country and our continent are extremely concerned at what we see and read.

Sadly, the merits of affirmative action are no longer really seen in the SANDF or the defence industry. What army in the world has private soldiers in their 40s and 50s? Our defence industry was sold to those who advised that we didn’t need it. Our technology and intellectual property was likewise sold for a nickel and a dime. The once-mighty ARMSCOR is now a financially-challenged DENEL. And, to crown it all, we ended up buying equipment (again on advice of…) that we really did not need.

Many of our naval vessels are now in dry-dock and no longer seaworthy. Our air force is likewise not too operational.

To me this is not a black and white thing but rather an unintended consequence of poor advice that was heeded. I find that both disturbing and sad. That is my opinion…

Rgds,

Eeben

I GUESS THIS SETTLES IT!

scipher: what about your liberation song? "kill the boer"

scipher: it appears you've been swindled / out-smarted by a Nigerian?.. I can't help but observe how your comments carried so much hate towards Nigerians (which is outside the topic) I wouldn't say you're jealous, your great grand dad has transferred hate to you, it has consumed and shaped who you are.. I'm happy our brothers down there don't use drugs but sell them (in a country with high level of unemployment ) to y'all junkies.. at least, we're smart enough not to deal in our own shit.. it's business bro, not that I support it. @syngerpd - just because you've attended classes / carried a school bag doesn't give you the impetus to declare how smart you are..let alone, comparing yourself to an average nigerian . I bet my kid sister would nail you intellectually...
