There is nothing simple about it. It is a new helicopter designed not only to transport troops, but also to support the troops in active battle. If it were that simple, you'll fly them, instead of the paltry 10 half-french helicopters you currently fly.

It was not designed to support troops in active battle, it was designed to protect itself from ground fire.

However, you cannot compare it to SA made Rooivalk

Henry120:
Despite an insurgency at home. Nigeria has security forces military/police and advisors in,

Mali
Equatorial guinea
Liberia
Sierra-leone
Sudan
Benin republic
Ivory coast
DRC
Patrols the waters of togo,benin

We do not lack the skill, manpower or finesse to carry out our duties, neither do we shy away from them.

That does not amount to protecting Africa.

SOLDIERS TAKE THEIR LIVES IN FEAR OF BEING DEPLOYED TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM.

If i were to pour your mumu into the river nile, it will change the colour of water all over Egypt and environs . Electricity up to this year was the exclusive area of the federal goverment so it was relatively inadequate. Like every federal establishments even in the US. So my point is if the government fails to provide electricity to a large part of the citizens, these citizens have the means and resources to buy and run generators as an alternative source of power. And it is more expensive for them if they were to pay for government electricity. They are not using candles or bush lamps. Nope. They own and run generators for daily needs. So even if government fails Our citizens are Rich to run the economy with alternative power to produce africa's biggest economy. We have the highest concentration of millionaires in africa not just the richest man. I "might" be no economic expert but you are sure one hell of a logic destitute and your IQ is too weak to bear the weight of kindergarten comprehension.

For your information SA has the most millionaires than any country in Africa. Our lottery produce millionaires every month. Apart from that we always had concentration of millionaires than any country in Africa. Our wealth among citizens is spread evenly even though is not racially equal, for I know is the argument you will bring. SA does not individuals who runs the show alone through monopoly capital like DANGOTE.

NaijaPikinGidi:
My point exactly. SANDF personel are not soldiers. And I can see why you're all proud of SANDF's running away from CAR!!

SANDF will always LICK their wounds and walk run away after taking a good beating from a supposedly weaker COMBATANT.
That clip captures the very weak nature of your SANDF. I can't imagine a man being beaten to pulp and by no means managed to defend himself or neutralise the violent body bounding.



Bloody liar! You were there to rip-off CAR along side Bozize of precious mining resources. You forget that AndrewZA's version was that SANDF were there to train CAR soldiers. Which version is correct?



Very correct!! For once you have truthfully stated this well-recognised fact.



In deed ... SA is under the protection of Nigeria ... Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Congo, Kenya!! Don't forget Nigeria's General head the AU military setup!

Now run-off before I unleash those two angry South African women to beat you to size! #stupid

Yet, you are in SA begging for pap. We are under protection of Nigeria and others, yet I do not see foreign soldiers roving the street of our cities.

Generals do not do the work, soldiers on the ground do under their own respective commanders. The fact that AU or UN is headed by a Nigerian, Malawian or German does not mean that their countries head such institutions. Just because Nkosazana Zuma head AU does not necessarily mean we can boast that SA is giving protection to the whole of Africa. You are a mad man.

Henry120:
Poverty rate in Nigeria is 33%.

In south-Africa,

85% of blacks live in poverty
White households make 10times the amount of black households
7% of the population run 90% of the economy.
7% of the minority white control 100% of the defence industry.

The world's most un-equal country.

You are living in Disney land where you are forever enjoying life with your ferry queens.

My friend, GDP per capita tells a different story between the two countries. Generally, life is better in SA than that in Naija.

NaijaPikinGidi:
The actual story of electricity for all in South Africa. In deed all South Africans enjoy electricity and they know how to confirm the great situation.

Don't you even see that South Africans are by far more better than Nigerians in terms of electricity supply. Woojooo!!!

11% of SA households still without electricity


BY: LEANDI KOLVER

The percentage of South African households with access to electricity had increased by 8.2% between 2002 and 2012, from 77.1% to 85.3%; however, a large amount of households were still without electricity or could not afford to use adequate electricity to satisfy their needs, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) said on Thursday.

According to its General Household Survey (GHS), in 2012, 1.45-million, or 11%, of South African households did not have access to electricity, while another 3.6%, or 578 005, households accessed electricity informally or illegally.

Out of the 3.6% without formal access to electricity, 73.1% were connected to an informal source that the household paid for, while 11.7% made use of illegal connections.

“Although significant progress has been made by the national electrification programme to provide electricity to all households, future progress will be hampered by the cost-ineffectiveness of providing mains electricity to remote rural households and the difficulty of providing electricity to predominantly informal dwellings in largely unplanned and unstructured informal areas,” Stats SA said, adding that alternative sources of energy, therefore, had to be considered.

“Emphasis should be placed on off-grid renewable-energy solutions to improve energy access for remote and difficult-to-service poor households,” the organisation noted.

Further, the GHS found that, while rural households remained more likely than urban households to be without electricity, at 19.7% compared with 12.4%, up to 40.4% of households in informal urban areas also did not have access to mains electricity.

In rural areas, 33.5% of households in formal rural areas and 17.3% of households in tribal areas did not have access to mains electricity.

The highest percentage of households connected to the main grid were reported in the Northern Cape and the Free State, with 91.9% and 91.5% of households connected respectively.

Stats SA further said 98.2% of households with access to electricity used it for lighting, while 84.5% did so for cooking.

“This is significant as lighting is estimated to account for only about 5% to 10% of the energy


http://m.engineeringnews.co.za/article/11-of-sa-households-still-without-electricity-2013-11-14

In 2013 over 1 million households of the remaining 2.5 million that previously did not have electricity got access to electricity.

http://moonofthesouth.com/1-million-households-electrified/

In 2009 only 2.5 million households were without electricity.

In 2009 we had only 2.5 million household with no electricity

Patchesagain:
That is not the point.
And it never was
and actually, only 9 million South Africans dont have access to electricity
http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
and btw, i was wrong - only 49% of Nigerians have access to electricity which means that in actual fact around 90 million nigerians dont have electricty
There are twice as many nigerians without electricity as there are south africans in total

Pat actually those stats of world bank are inaccurate. I watched the programme on SABC somewhere around winter where it was announced that over 95% households in SA now are electrified with electricity. Those stats are somehow outdated.

lekkie073:
OK.....
No constant electricity in Nigeria but
1. The richest man in Africa made it there
2. The richest black woman too
3. The economy has the highest purchasing power in Africa
4. Our entertainment industry is number one in Africa
We don't need electricity to grow talents. That's why psquare will always be better than all SA artistes put together

U can hate but the truth is......the day Nigeria start to experience constant electricity like SA, we would never be compared with any country in Africa again.

What that you have written above boil down to selfishness harboured by Nigerian magnate. Teach them that there is something called donations which Bill Gates once did by sharing his wealth in half and Motsepe of SA followed the suit by doing the same for his people. Dangote will never do it since he is a greedy Muslim.


Meanwhile, Nigeria's entertainment industry is only good for Nigeria or perhaps west Africa. In SA we are happy with our house music.

You are a loser!!!!

agaugust:
The weblink sources and photos have been repeated on this forum too many times this year, reason why old timer South Africans on this forum don't bother to argue when I mention it
.

Because they know is a pure lie, thats why they wouldnt argue.Do you mean photos of post 1994 during which times were tough for blacks to access electricity? SA has moved forward and the only areas with no electricity are those that either practically impossible for electrification because of the terrain such as those who live in the remote villages on top of mountains and those who live in informal settlement which by the way is temporary.


Since, SA cannot challenge you, I want you to attach sources which are not older than one year to substantiate your claims. This year around June, I watched a programme on television which confirmed that SA now has electrified over 95% household. So, chief don't spread lies please. Eskom is working everyday in SA to ensure that every household has access to electricity free of charge.

NaijaPikinGidi:
The silly girl thinks I've got time to reduce myself to petty catfights? Not worth any further response. I no get im time. I be sojaman!

She simply has reduced you to nothing. She amounted you to naught in a. SA women's way.

I can confidently say that as at today, under the ANC government, over 95% households have electricity. THAT I AM SURE!!!

The ANC first objectives when they assumed power in 1994, through the policy of RDP they pledged to electrify and to install sewage system (sanitation) to every household in SA and now I am appalled by @Agaugust unfounded claims about certain imaginery 15 million people without power.

agaugust:
15 million South Africans live in permanent darkness, ZERO electricity.
Your country stinks too
.

You still live in the past. SA as at today has every village, town and city electrified. I have never seen any area in SA without electricity. So, where do you get your imaginary 15 million?

LaBellaMafiaZA:
Who cares? Do I need to have "service" years to respond to a post I find misleading? Didnt think so. I never responded to any of the other posts about hardcore military ish, I stayed clear. A few posts about something I have some knowledge of & that got your panties all bunched up up your @ss. Spare me.

I have already decided to stop commenting so STFU.

Surely, you have reduced him to nothing. Bwahahaha!!,

lezz:
that proves Nigeria is richer than you people. For if we all own generators and fuel it for daily use then that is luxury for it is far more expensive to buy and run and maintain a generator than paying for electricity bills. Like i told you the whole West are weary and sleepless because of China's GDP and population. That is what Nigeria does to you.

What do you mean rich? I have already concluded that your level of education is not above tertiary learning. Some concepts of economy are way too complicated for some pea-sized brain like yours to comprehend. Nigeria is not richer than SA at all. It only has a bigger consumer market.

My friend, the use of generators and absence of electricity is the epitomy of failure. Economy as big as Nigeria's should have a stable power supply and refrain from its backwardness.

lezz:
if this is your response, i will let it pass. Ruffles not a hair in my furr. You really can bark but connot bite. You have plastic teeth.

I hope your tail is packed up concealed behind your back or else, I will unfold the drama.

LaBellaMafiaZA:
But you guys are doing a much better job standing up for Mzansi & her people. Well done.

I dont know much about military stuff, but took an interest on this thread because my sister had been to several deployments in Burundi etc. My family has military people. Stayed in Thaba Tshwane for 7 years so this is closer to my heart lol.

Thaba-Tshwane formerly voortrekerhoogte, what a place!! Hope you enjoyed your stay.

NaijaPikinGidi:
Must have rocked one of them the last time (last year) I came visiting my "boys" at Thaba Tshwane Officers Mess. Free booze get's them going.

Your host really rocks the world, where else would you have found that warm hospitality?

lezz:
you are such a yelping coward. How could you push your littler sister to the battle front and hide behinds mama's back. Come out let me shift the alignment of your jaws. He heh he he.

When a dog enters a new territory it hides its tail between its legs. Hence, I will reduce you into that dog and hold you to the corner for some drama. Beware!!!

lezz:
Bella, do you want to look me in the eye and tell me corruption has not increased since after 1994? Southafrica is rotting away piece by piece and bit by bit. The black government are nothing more than a caretaker government who is just doing painting job and dressing up the facade while the real rot is eating away. Your country's growth is just stagnant.
A generator economy that puts out a 532 billion dollar economy. So if we can beat and spank your economic azz with a generator economy, what will we then do to you when we boost the electricity generation? Answer:
I will have you over to my flat, have you strip-dance for me slowly and pour rich wine over your cleavage, then show you the stark difference between a west african specie of the Nigerian extraction from the docile southern african specie.
Waiting for your southafrican limping dogs to come charging at me.Lol.

The only thing that gives you the edge over SA is your population that has a more PPP. Your population has more buying power, hence the sporadic growth of your economy. However, it can only be drawn up to there and if we look further you have nothing to show for your bigger economy.

SA corrupt government is building infrastructure, offers grants to the old and young to fight poverty, build roads and free houses. What does your clean audit government do for your people in Nigeria who are living in the squalor of poverty? I am afraid that the answer is a big NOTHING. The results are clearly seen from millions of generator users in your country. All the top 30 biggest economies in the world produces stable electricity to their citizens and unfortunately Naija is there with nothing to show for its bigger economy, only figures can be shown.

LaBellaMafiaZA:
I think I'll just hand you over to my brothers to slaughter. Reading posts is much more enjoyable than commenting anyway.
*goes back to lurking*

That one is just only a walk in the park, hence the name @less. He is just less in everything. Take him on and slaughter him.

LaBellaMafiaZA:
PREACH.

THATS TRUE, THAT IS THEIR SYNDROME OF TRAVELING THE WHOLE WORLD IN SEARCH OF GREENER PASTURES. NO WONDER MANY OF THEM FALL INTO SHADY 419 INTERNATIONAL SCAM AND DRUG BUSINESS OUT OF FRUSTRATION. YOU COMMAND LOT OF RESPECT IN NIGERIA IF YOU ARE AN AMERICANA CUM NIGERIAN.

Patchesagain:
war ended before we needed it

still waiting for you to show us when the cubans "popped up behind us and sprayed us with hot pepper"

also waiting for proof that you live in the USA

AGAUGIST DOES NOT LIVE IN THE US. YOU SEE, ALL NIGERIANS ADMIRE LIVING IN THE US. IT IS THEIR DREAM, WHILE EVERYONE WILL WANT TO ENTER PARADISE, IT IS JUST MORE THAN GOOD FOR NIGERIANS TO ENTER AMERICA, THEIR EARTHLY HEAVEN. ANOTHER POINT OF NOTE IS THAT MOST NIGERIANS ARE NOT SO MUCH PROUD ABOUT NIGERIA. ASK THEM ABOUT WHAT DO THEY WANT TO BE IN FUTURE, THEY WILL NEVER FINISH THE WORDS WITHOUT EVER MENTIONING LIVING IN THE US OR UK MAKING IT BIG. THATS WHERE ALL THEIR GREENER PASTURES ARE AND EVEN IN NIGERIA YOU WILL BE TREATED WITH HIGH REGARD SHOULD YOU BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO AMERICA. EVEN NIGERIANS WHO WASH DEAD BODIES AND SWEEP THE STREETS IN AMERICA ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT IN NIGERIA. THAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE IN SA.

NaijaPikinGidi:
Because your illiteracy has blinded you to African and World history beyond your South African cage.

Nigerians at school have at some point taught about the SA history and have even wrote exams about it. So, who is the holder of the fine history now?

lezz:
i just got off a 6 hour trip,check my internet device and saw 8 "mentions" from my south african "friends" lol. What's all the rush and attention. I never thought i would hit the nail so smoothly to make south african to web-stalk me. Lol

Alright let's get down to business. If you're an anglo-dutch southafrican yeah, the world do not see you as african but. . .You are seen as still less than the west by a thousand years. The only thing they will admire about you is your tan. Lol.

Now if you are a black southafrican, then. . .oh, i dont know how to say this. .. it's too fricking heavy.. . You are the white man's burden; the cry baby of the world. A group of docile , little minded specie of the black race who despite their vast population could not look their captors to the face. The whole of africa had to unite to get you your freedom. And today you look us in the face and claim you are better. How silly.

In south africa,one of the ways white folks used to tell west africans apart especially Nigerians is their boldness and bravery.
Bota, one of your african apatheid rulers once described black southafricans as lazy, weak, unable to govern themselves and lacking in the ability to think beyond 2 years. Those were his words and not mine.

And here is where Nigerian comes in. When the only African country with a .5 trillion dollar gdp is mentioned, the whole bloody world know its pure, undilutted black power and black brain. That is why south africa belongs to no where. They are just floating in the abyss of identity crisis.

Africa needs Nigeria more than southafrica will care to admit.

Are you aware that America does not even fully represent its aborigines yet they are sitting unchallenged at the UN security council. If you do not see SA as being fully representative of Africa, then you first have to turn your pointing finger at your friends admired country.

NaijaPikinGidi:
Open your mind ... read wide and discover the real wars and conquest that have shaped African humankind. Life is not about your useless stories. It is about the useful combined stories of the world beyond the sight of your nose. Break free ... Explore!!

Nigeria does not have such a fine history. That you can only locate down south of the continent.
