Henry240:these are the kind of pictures that we want to see. Gentlemen there you have it, The Nigerian Backed Intervention in the Gambia have led to the removal of the Gambian Dictator Mr Yahaya Jammeh and for this reason the Gambian people cannot hold back their joy as they wave the colors of our nationhood. There is nothing anybody can say about it. Gambia is a textbook example of how to remove a dictator peacefully. |
jakeporeshenko:this guys are very good example of a standardised Army. And thanks to their peaceful power show in Gambia they will enjoy a lot of UN peace keeping role in the future. I am very much impressed. During the Librarian Debacle the Librarians begged and pleaded for the Senegalese troops to stay back when they wanted to pull out due to the presidential election in Senegal.Most of the Military commentators then, described them as "very professional" they didn't partake in the widespread looting that was going on as at that time even among ECOMOG Troops.

Patchesagain:wow. You must hate the guy. |
please we need a Researcher vast in the field of Engineering to construct a Garden Tiller prototype |
![]() Henry240:we should never again deploy where there is no glory to be recorded. imagine that funny Senegalese Commander waited for those yeye politicians from Mauritania to be negotiating even after the ultimatum was past. a Nigerian Commander won't do that. a Nigerian Commander would take control of state house Gambia. ship Jammeh back here to Nigeria where he will stay on house arrest while attending to his cases on the ICC, after all, most of his favourite legal advisors are here in Nigeria. I never supported the deployment of troops to Gambia but allowing that Insolent Basta#d the chance and luxury of dictating terms even after we have deployed is not the way to go in a Military intervention. when we went to Sierra Leone the first thing we did was to take hold of Freetown. state house Gambia was the price and the Senegalese Commander didn't take it. when I saw the speed with which ECOWAS deployed I felt that by the morning of January 20th State house Gambia would be in the control of troops from friendly countries. but now they are talking about allowing him to retire and live within Gambia. so he can start a bloody insurgency in that tiny country(there is nothing that a man that can use hair shampoo to cure AIDS can't do) to me the whole ecowas operation was a failure because we didn't lead it, if you like cry. |
Nok234:Hehehe just to see footages like this is the reason why some warmongers in here are calling for an intervention. very nice footage. |
AskProf:imagine the Arrow. B52 I mean what is he even saying? he is purely an imbecilic war monger on the loose. |
Odunayaw:I know you are very happy to see an expeditionary Nigerian Armed forces. i know you are a military enthusiast and a war in West Africa is good news for your hobby. well if things get out of hand you would soon see more than you can take in. |
Odunayaw:he is a tyrant. that is all you see. |
Odunayaw:Jammeh the sitting head of state said the election was influenced and to that extent being a Head of State under the ECOWAS body, these claims should have been investigated. a war in Gambia would not make ECOWAS stronger. if this were to have happened in a European country i bet you there would be no such military intervention it would be settled in the European court. but ECOWAS would spend their resources to remove Jammeh and then throw him to the hands of the self righteous West who have always wanted to grab his neck at the Hagues. |
tdayof:if Jammeh as the president of Gambia is questioning the credibility of Gambian electoral body to conduct a free and fair election in Gambia, then he is legally covered. Jammeh should begin to show evidence of foreign influence in the just concluded election and the ECOWAS body should begin to look beyond Khaki Diplomacy to settle the Gambian issue this piece would give you a break down of what we all stand to lose if we militarily intervene in Gambia and the legal provision that ECOWAS is denying Jammeh. https://www.nairaland.com/3580344/why-nigeria-must-not-support |
Here is a piece i wrote for the Nigerian Observer daily on the Gambian question. Henry240 , timelezz , tiwaz helinues Emassive dainformant yemmybx tyokunbo and others who have shown great interest in the Gambian question should take note of Article 12 of the ECOWAS PROTOCOL ON DEMOCRACY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE Why Nigeria must not support a Military Intervention in Gambia. I.A Stephen This December Gambia, a tiny West African Nation, surrounded by Senegal to its North, South and East, held its first presidential election. This led to the emergence of Adama Barrow of the United Democratic Party (UDP) as the President elect. Prior to the election Gambians and the International Community in general shared the fear that Yahaya Jammeh The Incumbent President of Gambia would not relinquish his seat as the President of the Gambia, but to the initial surprise of his people and the international community, President Yahaya Jammeh came out to concede defeat to Adamma Barrow the candidate of the UDP, many who celebrated the initial triumph of democracy in Gambia, called it a good season for democracy in West Africa applauding the successful elections in Ghana and Nigeria where opposition candidates emerged as President elects with the incumbent President in both cases conceding defeat, were disappointed when Jammeh rose up later to challenge the election results, President Jammeh described the election process and results as “influenced” by foreign actors. The fear of a political crisis in Gambia have forced leaders of the ECOWAS sub-region to hold talks with President Jammeh in Gambia, with the President of Nigeria named the Chief Mediator. The President of the West African Commision Alain Souza have since suggested that military options are not off the table if President Jammeh still refuses to honour the results of the election even the mediation efforts by ECOWAS fails to stop Jammeh from holding on to power. Addressing the issue of the Gambian Presidential election, ECOWAS should thread with caution as the claims by Jammeh that the election was influenced should be taken seriously. The commission should investigate these claims made by a sitting Head of State, that, the election conducted by the electoral body under his Government may have been compromised. If Jammeh is able to provide reasonable evidence to back such claims as he is making , if Jammeh can provide enough evidence to substantiate the facts that a foreign power somewhere have in one way or the other influenced the just concluded election, If Jammeh as the Gambian Head of State have reasons to believe that the election conducted under his government was not free, fair or credible enough as to warrant his handing over office to the candidate produced by the election, then the ECOWAS Commission should be concerned about the capacity of electoral bodies in West Africa to conduct free, fair and credible elections. ECOWAS, if provided with reasonable evidence of foul play in the just concluded Gambian elections, instead of supporting the idea of a military intervention, ECOWAS should form a committee to put things in place for the conduct of a re-run election in Gambia, to be conducted by a neutral and independent electoral body to be created and supervised by ECOWAS. If the Gambians do not want Jammeh as their President in the first election, I am quite sure their opinion won’t change in the second election. The mistake of using military force to remove sitting Presidents in Africa is becoming a popular “fail” that we must begin to reconsider. If Jammeh claims are true that a foreign power is influencing election results in West Africa, then leaders of the West African region should be very concerned, if this is a problem for Gambia today, it may become a problem for another West African Nation tomorrow. While Alain Souza, the President of the ECOWAS commission is mulling the idea of a Senegal led intervention into Gambia, we should all know this one thing about the Armed Forces of Senegal especially their Army which is regularly being trained and equipped by the United States in its claimed anti terror efforts in Africa. The irony of this is, while the United States is frustrating the Counter terrorism efforts of Nigeria which have been battling attacks from Islamic terrorism for the past few years, by blocking Nigeria from purchasing the much needed western military hardware needed for her anti-terror efforts. The United State have been training and funding the Armed forces of Senegal in a claimed Counter Terrorist effort even though Senegal is not directly threatened by any of the known Islamic Terror groups. One could easily guess that terrorism is not the primary reason why the United States is training and funding a country not affected by terrorism for a war against terror, while those fighting the true war against terror are being abandoned by this same Foreign Power. The proximity of Senegal to Gambia being that they share major land borders is reason enough for any Foreign Power that is claiming to be “championing Democracy” to want to use the Senegalese Military as a tool to remove their long time rival and Dictator even if it takes influencing elections or going against the wishes of the Gambian people , or using military force either directly or indirectly. We watched the same thing happen in Libya, where Terrorists posing as anti-government Rebels where assisted to topple a sitting Government, without having an effective master plan in place to prevent an escalation of the already volatile situation in that country. Africa, especially some North and Western African States have been facing terror attacks from terrorist that were radicalised, trained and equipped in Libya. What we see now as terrorism and insurgency in North and West Africa is the aftermath of the failed state situation that Libya was thrown into after the foreign backed removal of Gadaffi from power, which saw terrorist groups gaining access to Government owned heavy stock pile of weapons in the ensuing anarchy, these terrorists later used these weapons to wage a destructive Jihad in North and West Africa. These are the weapons we now see in use by Terrorists groups such as Boko Haram, Al Ansaru and other Dangerous terror groups that are presently operating in West Africa. Democracy is more democratic if the election process to back it up is fairly and credibly conducted by a non bias and Independent electoral commission. The question ECOWAS should be asking at this point is; where these the conditions under which the just concluded Gambian Presidential election was conducted? If not, then we should look towards conducting a re-run election with a credible, neutral and independent electoral body. We should not be too quick to turn Gambia into another Libya. The competence of an electoral body created by ECOWAS to conduct elections in Gambia can be found in Article 12, page 9-10 of the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance. |
Wale. so you are still here peddling your delusions? Ghana will invade where? how? the only pictures of military activities we ve seen on the Gambian issues is coming from Nigeria |
Timelezz:long time no see my brother. That thread ( who have the strongest...) Reflects everything that is wrong with African unity and as such I am avoiding it. |
Timelezz: Timelezz: Mynd44:a little history lesson for you guys. it is not the Nigerian thing to lead military interventions in West Africa, and the Nigerian Government tries very much to avoid it. A big power like Nigeria leading a Military intervention in Gambia would cause distrust and a feeling of insecurity amongst our smaller West African allies, they do be like " so if we just get small fu#k up na so these guys go handle our matter. it is a better show of leadership that we handled the diplomatic intervention. let's leave Military intervention for Senegal. BTW we never led the ecomog mission to Liberia at first. the Ghanaians led it, but they had to step down cus Nigeria was providing the bulk of the funding and troops. and I think we may soon see that replay itself in the Gambian case. |
I need 50 pieces. |
Henry240:we ordered for. Russia ordered for Chopper carrier from France and never got it. We offended for does not count. 9 Ripens may be all it takes to rain shit down on our EEZ and send our economy to the bottom of the ocean. 2 submarine may be all it takes to send our offshore assets down below. When you are talking about battle between nigeria and South Africa don't talk about Tanks or APC cus that scenario may never come up. A battle between Nigeria and SA will be fought in the Air and sea. |
Henry240:they have a very advanced defense industry and in the event of war That is all that matters. When you are surrounded with sanctions and failing resources to keep buying weapons the inability for you to produce your weapons is a big minus. They presently have one of the most developed guided munition industry in Africa. While we still find it hard to get these stuff. What if we suffer sanctions from the BRICs in going to war against them and we cant get weapons from Russia people China. Would that not place them in a very much van staged position to hit us hard. What do we have in the area of Air defense is the Roland's? Those things are Cold war relics Na. We have Alpha jets, how far can they go? Do we have Ariel refueling capability? Do you think in the event of war we would hit the south Africans with anything at all. Think of anything in the Nigerian Arsenal that can hit South Africa. They can destroy our assets in the EEZ with their long ranged subs rendering us moniless. If common militant can reduce our oil production what do you think a capable conventional force will do |
bidexiii:stop trying to access nairaland through busy links like the home link or pol section link. Use the foreign affair link always. |
darknetcom:South Africa is a Militarily strong and advanced country compared to Nigeria. Invading South Africa would not be possible for Nigeria except we form Alliances with countries who are relatively strong and are able to deliver a deadly punch. On the other hand. Nigeria can also take advantage of the abundance of trade opportunity and exchange of technology between Nigeria and South Africa instead of going to war. |
Why you dey fool yourself and your parents now? Shey Na that flag Na im be the main Book Haram flag. Abi u forget the one wey im dey use wen him sit down dey read Koran? |
jln115:scotch earth. Hope it doesn't get past where it has reached already. Or else it may be worse than the Canadian fire. How come you guys went as far as Canada to support the fire rescue team but back at home from the photos you are posting look like there is no official rescue team in sight. I remembersomeone posting a pics of South African fire fighters going to help out in Canada earlier this year. Merry Xmas though. Look like your own Santa clause would be riding a fire truck |

Henry240:Force would be deployed in Gambia if: Supporters of one party starts an uprising which leads to an Humanitarian crisis. If Jameh agrees to rerun the election under ECOWAS supervision to prevent foreign influence( Jameh may believe it would be hard for his opponents foreign benefactor to buy ECOWAS). If Crisis ensues while Jameh is still pleading to his other West African Colleague's that there was a foreign agenda to place a foreign controlled surrogate at the helm of affair in West Africa. The ECOWAS leaders would begin to see it as regional politics and would not want a foreign interventive force to come in, stabilize peace and monitor elections these won't go down well with the ECOWAS leaders because any election conducted under the presence of a foreign power may be seen as "influenced" by the ECOWAS heads. So force may be considered. |
IbnSultaan:all fingers are crossed. Jameh supporters better not start an uprising because that may force the ECOWAS Heads to consider peace keeping which would eventually lead to peace enforcement and then an ECOWAS and UN supervised General Election. Actually we are very good at this. We ve been defending democracy in West Africa by kicking out greedy Dictators even from our days of Military Dictatorship. As per whether the ECOWAS peace keeping force is still active, it does not have to be active. So long as all party to the ECOWAS treaty have agreed to it creation and the condition for its deployment . it would be called up when the need arise. |
nemesis2u:oh. I didn't see your earlier post. Thought you are asking about the various languages used for military applications. Yea we just want to see photos of some bad-ass Military tech. Keep it coming Boss I am Rooting for you straight from my couch control room. |
africaken254:now they are dragging my position with me. ![]() |
nemesis2u:and then there is ADA which is a more secured language compared to the widely civilian used C++ . The US DOD outsourced the creation of ADA to Bell Tech and it is the language that powers most of the US Mil Apps. |
chinese8107:Dear Chinese8107 I believe you are a Chine man, and despite all your nationalistic comments on China's Military power, I can see one thing that those huge Dicks in the Military discussion threads can't see and that is "Business" Mr Chinese (pardon my calling you these) I sense business in you and where else can a Chinese man make profit in business than to have business connections with the largest economy in Africa, a nation that can't produce but have enough to spend importing. Mr Chinese I think you ve hit a gold mine, because anything you send into Nigeria from China will receive the attention of 180million willing buyers who will be willing to pay anything to get that product. Or you could also choose to send in machineries for producing a certain product from which you would get a fixed percent from every item produced and sold, you could choose to help develope a manufacturing business in Nigeria by providing the machineries and in that business you would maintain the largest share. It could be a bakery, an industrial laundry, a printing press, deals on used products like phones laptops and even cloths, The list are limitless my Chinese man. Just think it and with me in Nigeria and you in China with access to the world largest industries then I think we can't be stopped. Please reply all my messages from this link. Naira land do not have a messaging platform so this is the best way I can send you an almost private message. Till we are able to find a better platform. My name Is Stephen and I look forward to doing business with you. My email Stevezuks@gmail.com |
