agaugust: We don't make noises. We are silent k.illers....we enter the lion'd den and k.illed him in his own camp :

"Shekau was killed in Gwoza Hills by a contingent of Special Forces led by Major A.T. Fambiya. Fambiya is reckoned to be one of the best Special Forces officers in the Nigerian military, who grew up in Gwoza and understood the rocky terrain.
Further investigations revealed that it was Major Fambiya that delivered the fatal shot that sent Shakau reeling in Gwoza Hills during a fierce battle but the Boko Haram leader did not die immediately. He was severally moved to Mali and later Cameroon where he gave up the ghost. His aides, who sought to create the impression that he was still alive to sect members, hurriedly buried him.
Pointblanknews.com gathered that the senator was angered by the deployment of Major Timothy Fambiya, an indigene of Gwoza in Gwoza Local Government Council of Borno State to eradicate the sect members and halt their activities in the area. The area falls within Senator Ndume’s Senatorial District and is predominantly Christian."

PS: Dont lie to those kids pls

agaugust: South Africa is more developed than Russia and China ? You must be smoking rat poison
.

agaugust: Hey dummy, Nigerian army is one of the most disciplined in the whole world ! We don't take nonsense from any soldier !

If there is truly any deserter in Nigerian army, they will be arrested, tried and shot !

The few mutineers of some months ago have been sentenced to death after court martial. I am not happy they will be shot, but Nigerian army has it's laws and they knew the law before they broke law. Sad, but Nigerian army must defend it's law and 150 year old reputation as the most experienced army in Africa.


I am waiting for South Africa to sentence to death ALL your 250 soldiers who ran away from Seleka C.A.R. Bangui as deserters.

Also, I am awaiting for South Africa to sentence to death all your SANDF army union members who refused to go to war against Seleka.

However, from news reports and @THIZA's photos posted here, I am aware that South African army has decided to give medals of honour to it's cowardly deserters, as running away is a sign of Glory and Honour in South African military.....reason why United Nations put your cowardly army under the command on Tanzania and African Union put SANDF under the command of Nigeria in 2015.

The world knows your army is proud of deserters and mutineers, nation of genetic and incurable cowards

Henry120: Nigerian Army Kills 200 Insurgents In Konduga
Abdulkareem Haruna
— Sep 13, 2014 | 5 Comments
Boko Haram terrorists yesterday suffered a major defeat when soldiers repelled an early morning attack on Konduga town, killing at least 200 of them, security sources said.

According to an insider in Maiduguri, the terrorists were led by one notorious Amir, a top leader of the sect, who also died hours after he was picked alive with serious injuries.

The officer said the insurgents, in their relentless bid to invade Maiduguri, were ambushed by the Nigerian soldiers in Konduga, 35km away from Maiduguri, and a no-mercy onslaught followed.

“So far this has been the most successful outing in recent times, because we left no stone unturned,” said the officer. “We’ve had hints in the last two days that they would be attacking Konduga with the intention of taking and using the town to launch a major attack on Maiduguri; we waited patiently for the day and, as God would have it, they came as expected.

“Unfortunately for them, our men were fully mobilized for the engagement and we’re able to hold them for hours until every one of them dropped dead.

“We counted up to 200 of them, including one that was attempting suicide bombings. We also shot dead their cameraman and recovered his camera; there were over 200 of their corpses littering everywhere.”

The source added that six of the vehicles that the terrorists used were recovered and brought to the barracks in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

Another top military officer who also confirmed the Konduga attack to LEADERSHIP Weekend in a phone interview said “it is a big victory and our soldiers were disciplined and gallant all through the operation”.

“It was what we can call ‘operation totality’, because we didn’t record one single casualty on our part and we ensured that not a single one of them escaped,” said the top soldier who wouldn’t want to be named in this report.

AugustineAgain: Boko is dying and running out of ammunition, so much that even civilians are now killing them in large numbers, Nigerian army and air force broke the backbone of Boko Haram in Damboa and Bama, they will never recover !

"The attack came days after the military said the chief of army staff has relocated to Maiduguri. Nigerian security forces, and members of a local vigilante killed at least 207 Boko Haram militants who launched a daring attack on a military barracks and other neighbourhoods of Maiduguri, Borno State, the vigilante group, known as the civilian-JTF, said Friday. Members of the civilian-JTF said they counted at least 207 corpses of suspected Boko Haram members killed during clashes with government troops early Friday. One leader of the vigilante, Mallam Abdullahi, told PREMIUM TIMES his members counted more than 200 bodies of suspected insurgents in one area where the fighting took place, and said there would be more bodies in the bush. “We have counted 207 dead members of Boko Haram in our area, Jiddari-Polo, alone. Many others are being killed in the bush because the fighter-jet is still shelling them, and some of our members have accompanied the soldiers in pursuing them,” Mr. Abdullahi said"

Wow ! Thanks for admitting that 12,000 SANDF slodiers are HIV sick and live on drugs, that army has 20 battalions that cannot endure hard combat or else your drug dependent army will collapse before the enemy even shoots them

South Africa has the weakest military in Africa !

agaugust: Togo is 5 minutes flight away from Nigeria, our F-7 jets will turn Togolese Alpha jets to twisted metal junk in 1 minute.

Togo won't even try Nigeria, the anti-aircraft guns 40mm on many of our ships have ceiling of 4km and Centenary AK 176 gun has ceiling range up to 11km with perfect radar guidance, our Aspide SAM is a BVR missile.

Show me how your Valour frigate will stop a sea skimming exocet missile without CIWS. Sub-Saharan pirates have defeated your submarine navy in Angola and Mozambique where you patrol everyday for years and you never caught a pirate, even fish or crab your Valour Failure Frigates could not catch

.

agaugust: Bwahahaha
That is a private website written by one ignorant Mister Nobody who did not use common sense to indicate that his data is for the new version Starstreak II that South Africa does NOT have.
See his data puts speed at mach 3.5 instead of mach 3, and puts range at 7km instead of 5.5km....clearly he was posting Starstreak version II data.....SANDF has only version I with less capability.
My own source is NOT private, it is OFFICIAL website of the British army that the missile was built for.
Me too can go do private website and post rubbish data there.
Your British maters who sold the starstreak missile to you have OFFICIALLY declared its maximum ceiling altitude is ONLY 1km...

The South African National Defense Force – A Military in Freefall
Despite an eagerness to use the South African National Defense Force (SANDF) as a means of projecting the nation’s influence abroad, there is evidence that South Africa’s government has so neglected or mismanaged its military assets that it may soon be unable to defend itself, much less engage in international adventures.

Last year, Roelf Meyer, the chairman of South Africa’s defense review committee, identified a number of strategic goals for the SANDF, including:

· Maintaining the security of South Africa’s borders;

· Promoting peace and security in Africa;

· Assisting civil authorities in policing or anti-poaching efforts;

· Establishing South Africa as a responsible leading member of the African Union;

· Responding to new regional threats such as piracy (Business Day [Johannesburg], April 13, 2012).

However, with a reduced force size and inadequate resources, the SANDF will soon have difficulty meeting most of these goals.



Life in the South African military is not seen as desirable by many potential recruits. Pay can be erratic, HIV rates are as high as 25% (making these troops unavailable for external deployment) and an estimated 35% of South Africa’s military barracks have been classed as unfit for human occupation since 2007 (Mail & Guardian [Johannesburg], April 21, 2012). Without money to operate sophisticated equipment, skilled staff continue to flee at the end of their enlistment and there is little opportunity for new recruits to train in skills useful in the civilian world. Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Defense has described R.ape of women in the SANDF as “common,” adding that many female recruits have been impregnated by their instructors (BUAnews, November 26, 2011).



Racial abuse of black subordinates by white senior officers also remains a problem 19 years into the integration process. South African troops are unionized and have at times clashed with police during pay disputes.

With the 2012 defense budget of $3.8 billion still far below the 2 percent of GDP required to maintain the armed forces, the South African defense department began looking at other ways of generating income, including contracting out soldiers to municipalities to do various labor and infrastructure repair projects. The department also created the Defense Estate Management agency to lease or sell-off defense department lands. Much of the land owned by the SANDF came by way of British government endowments of military facilities made on the condition that they could only be used for defense purposes

Politicization of the military is still a problem in South Africa. There has been speculation that the current chief of the SANDF, Angolan-trained Lieutenant General Solly Zacharia Shoke, received his appointment as a result of his history as a commander in Umkhonto we Sizwe, the ANC’s military wing (SAPA, May 11, 2011). Umkhonto we Sizwe forces were integrated into the newly formed SANDF between 1994 and 2004. An investigative commission recently declared that the SANDF was too politicized, a situation typified by former Defense Minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s preference for wearing SANDF uniforms at public occasions

A sometimes unaccountable procurement process remains a problem for the South African military; last year the political opposition revealed over $7.75 billion had passed through a defense department slush fund that had failed to reveal to parliament how the money had been spent (Johannesburg Times, April 18, 2012). The army has been overlooked in recent acquisition programs and is close to finding itself equipped with obsolete equipment in terms of armored personnel carriers, logistics vehicles and main battle tanks

South Africa’s once-effective air force has new aircraft but cannot afford the fuel and maintenance needed to keep them in the air. Despite this, one element of the air force that did see extensive time in the air was Squadron 21, charged with flying South African VIPs and government ministers. Former defense minister Lindiwe Sisilu booked 203 flights over three years in chartered luxury Gulfstream jets at an estimated cost of $4.5 million. Some 63 of the flights were empty, as they were intended solely to pick the minister up somewhere and take her to another destination in what one opposition critic described as “a staggering waste of money”

While government ministers travel in luxury, the South African Air Force (SAAF) still transports troops in 70-year-old Dakota aircraft. One of these, a Dakota C47TP (an upgraded DC-3 with turbine engines) crashed, claiming 11 lives when it was unable to fly above inclement weather. The crash came shortly after the military decided it could no longer afford a maintenance contract for its military aircraft (SAPA, December 6, 2012; Sunday Times [Johannesburg], December 10, 2012). World War II-era Dakotas also continue to be used for surveillance of South Africa’s 3,900 kilometer coastline in the absence of modern surveillance aircraft. Meanwhile, 26 new Swedish-built Gripen fighter-jets, purchased at a cost of R10 billion (approximately $1 billion), average only two hours in the air each week; not enough to keep the machines in operable condition and far from the 10 hours of flight-time each week considered necessary to keep pilots well-trained

Former SAAF chief Lieutenant General Carlo Gagiano retired in 2012 after trying to resign in late 2011 during his hospitalization for stress as he continued to try unsuccessfully to find enough money for the fuel and maintenance to keep the SAAF in the air. His successor, Lieutenant General Fabian Zimpande Msimang (the first black chief of the SAAF) will have trouble keeping all but executive travel jets in the air if current funding problems continue

The once formidable South African navy now spends little time at sea. Replacement parts and maintenance budgets barely exist, leaving only one of the navy’s four new frigates operational and only one its four new submarines able to put out to sea (Sunday Times [Johannesburg], December 10, 2012). South African Navy ships and SAAF aircraft carry out anti-piracy operations in the Mozambique Channel, though this mission is also threatened by underfunding.

Despite economic troubles and a collapsing military, South Africa still desires to be a major player in Africa, which encourages it to commit to missions that stretch the military’s capacity to its breaking point. Unless current trends are reversed, the steady transformation of the SANDF into an assembly of riot police and border guards will be completed in just a few years. Geography and reputation have left South Africa with few external enemies, but it is also extremely wealthy in various resources. South Africa was only cobbled together from various constituent parts a little more than a century ago, and it would not be surprising if a general collapse of South Africa’s security infrastructure invited the emergence of secessionist movements drawing on both domestic and external inspiration. South Africa’s eventual inability to project force beyond its borders will also have important implications for regional security in sub-Saharan Africa.

agaugust: Nope, over 99% of Nigeria is peaceful with business as usual living a happy life, working, schooling, trading.

There are 774 Local governments areas in Nigeria. If each has 6 towns and villages, there are over 4,000 in Nigeria.

If Boko Haram occupies 20 of them, he has only 0.5% of Nigerian territory just temporarily occupied before we flush them out like Damboa and Bama.

Nigerian army controls 99.5% of Nigerian territory.

Boko's 0.5% is restricted to the poorest and least developed near border far north east Nigeria where the economic value is of no importance.

Boko Haram is a tiny game being played by news media on an oversized football field of exaggerated proportion to sell their stories.

99.5% of Nigeria is having a good time !
.

agaugust: Nigerian army fully controls 99.5% of Nigerian territory, if they were running, Boko will be seating in state governors office in Maiduguri commanding Borno.

SANDF is the fastest run away army in African Guinness book of records, even France your saviour has a Reuters journalist making fun of South African retreat of NO RETURN TO BANGUI

Poachers hunting your Rhinos made you run to American special forces, South African national pride remains 5% of it's original full value
.

agaugust: Nigeria soldiers are sharp shooters with many years of combat experience, and our combat doctrine believes every bullet is fired to count, so our 150 bullets can 150 people if we put it in each enemy's head.

SANDF is carryoung 1890 bullets because your ZERO experienced soldiers will waste a lot of bullets before they can k.ill one enemy due to poor marksmanship.

Nigerian soldiers have a machine gun for every 4 soldiers, we don't depend on rifle alone, and you cannot count our machine gun bullets, plus extra loads inside our vehicles !

Start counting those Naija bullets for me now,oya, 1,2,3, 4....5,000....6,000...
.

agaugust: How are they fleeing? We did not see anybody pursuing them, and if there was danger, why did those young boys and girls not flee, instead they were making videos and speaking Hausa language which I heard.
Those soldiers are on their own orders to a location, that town HAS NO NAME, and no proof of it's name.
Bwhahahaha
More propaganda for SA mofos, soldiers fleeing from invisible enemy, and teenagers stood there on foot going in the opposite direction that the whole world is fleeing from with cars....cheap Soweto brain, easy top deceive by anybody with a blackberry video phone
Meanwhile Nigerian young Lt.Colonel son of former president Obasanjo was wounded by Boko Haram, and has declared his eagerness to go back to the war zone as soon as the doctors finish his treatment.
"The son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Lt. Col. Adeboye, who was shot on Monday by Boko Haram insurgents near Michika in Adamawa State has expressed eagerness to return to the battle front.
Adeboye, who is recuperating at a government medical facility in Yola, spoke with a former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar and the Director General of the National Orientation Agency, Mike Omeri."
http://www.punchng.com/news/im-eager-to-return-to-battlefield-says-obasanjos-son/
That is the army you say is fleeing ! That is the real Nigerian army that we can confirm to be Nigerian !
Jacob Zuma or Mbeki will NEVER send their own son to war zone, but they will deploy THIZA, Mike.ZA, Andrewza, and Patches to go and die at age 40 years
South African wounded soldiers from Seleka Battle NEVER went back or dreamed of going back to defeat Seleka rebels, now the real army that flees is SANDF

FighterPilot: 1. You had all the reasons to acquire modern MPAs since the pirates were giving you headache. Bwahahaha! Even with our old MPA pirates are scared of us to the core. Nevertheless, we have indentified the problem and are waiting for acquisions.

2. Same as the answer above, we do not have any problems with pirates, we concentrated more into the deep ocean where Nigerian Navy is dead.

3. Your Air balloon supposedly has deflated and fell long ago my friend. Hehehe!!

4. Mamba APC can be airlifted.

5. As far as our power projection is concerns are do not know how did we arrive in Ivory coast with our battle ship if we had such a limited projection.

6.SANDF has many IFVs and APC which has 360° all round defence from front to back flexible turrets. Those you need only to mount the gun depending on your preference.

7. Our gripens are always loaded with missiles whenever they are on a combat position. There is only one country so far that I have never heard had ever fired a missile, be it SSM, ATGM, SAM or AAM is Nigeria.

agaugust: Who cares? It's not a Nigerian army 'shilka'.....fact !

Boko can go buy Badger IFV from Finland if he likes, NAF will b.low it up like we did to his armour in Bama and Damboa

agaugust: That is Badger IFV, product of Finland, to be assembled in South Africa. It is NOT your product
Okay then, until South Africa produces a modern 2014 Stealth warship like these, the topic is closed and come back in 200 years and make comparison
.

morpheus24: but why is it then that all other sub saharan African countries "without" white settler populations are not on PAR with the pseudo-African state called SOUTH AFRICA in terms of infrastructure. What created this developmental divide?
Do the rest of us in Africa lack that "cognitive ability" when almost every country in Africa is rich with natural and human resources?
The answer to the above questions doesn't undermine anybody, it simply alludes to the answer to the question "Where would South Africa be without white people"
ANSWER: remove white people, you get just another sub-saharan African country.
Why can't you guys deal with this reality?

iconize: @Msazua, What was the essence of Amaechi saying those things before Mandela died without being asked?

How many of the peeps that helped Mandela came out to say it before his death? Its irrelevant.


Mind you, Nnamdi Azikiwe Nigeria's first president is in that story...
