Alphaoscar: Ao are you sure they are really praying for nigeria?
These ones are only praying for continuity of their cluelessness and God will never grant such a prayer again!
continuity of cluelessness. Abeg oh! Make un leave oga jona oh. Shey you even remember pray for your family this new year not to talk of praying for Nigeria. I dun collect my PVC and na oga jona be my man.
EVarn: no.algeria does not have much experience in "these matters"{well,no modern experience}.but experience isnt everything,experience can be countered with[b] ingenuity,cunningness and strategy.[/b]
all those things are products of experience. Do not be carried away by mzilakazi's theory of training overshadows experience. In a true combat situation every little advantage no matter how little it seems to be will aid you in mapping out your moves. And it is experience that gives you a hint into possible outcomes. It is experience that let you know that this is how your enemy may or may not behave in a situation were the doctrine on which you were trained do not apply. It is experience that fires ingenuity, innovation, cunninness and strategy.
mzilakazi: Happy new year!! everybody. It is just sad news to announce to you that Bama and Gwoza is still in the arms of BH despite the claims that both towns have been recaptured.
boss, reliable authority have said it several times that those towns have been liberated and yet you still go about searching the internet for peddlers of false information. What do you stand to gain?
Caseless: being a member of UN , makes part of member states' problems automatically. Our gov't should have considered the plight of the palestinians. People celebrating this news are those who put the religious face to it; they are muslims- without them thinking they are christains in palestine, too. Isreal kill both muslims and christain in the occupied territory. We are not close to US/ISREAL than france, but france voted in favor. Why do u think france took that step? It is to avoid any internal reaction from their muslim population back home. Our clueless president didn't take the Nigeria's muslim into consideration. The news stating Netanyahu's 'thank u message' to president jonathan for standing in the way of palestine's statehood is on the scroll-bar of AIT , and Nigerian muslims are watching. Dont forget , MURIC accused him of taking us to isreal and employing securities last time. Things are already adding up.
Nigeria is fighting a war against Islamic terrorists. Nigeria should have taken a decisive stance. They should never have stood on the line.
laykorn: I just hope the US didn't manipulate that. Ayamlaykorn
mumu, every day i come across your post on NL by chance i shake my head and regret the day cluelessness was created. How can the US influence our stance on the UNSc. The us have seized to be relevant to Nigeria since it stopped buying our oil, the US have dissociated itself from nigerian efforts against terror, the US have failed us in every way so how can we possibly be influenced by them? Or do you think our representative to the UNSC does not report back to Nigeria? Let me tell you something Nigeria have a very long history in the UNSC, Joseph Garba was once the president of the UNSC during his time and at that our commitment to the common good of the human race cannot at any Time be influence by any state. Nigeria owes no obligation to the united states in the making of hee foreign policy and now,more than anytime Nigeria does not give an F about the US
I Condemn this. This is lawlessness. The life of human need to be respected in any government. This young man was killed cold blooded. Is this a country? Well, may we win where others fail.
EVarn: LOL.facing egypt=committing suicide,genocide,patricide,matricide,homicide,and every other 'cide' that exist.but viewing it objectively,from a military angle;it is almost impossible for egypt to use or have control of all its arsenal during a war,neither will all of egypt's soldiers be fit to fight a war at any given time.in a war of proxy,much would depend on the countries between egypt and algeria.
well Egypt need a very buoyant army not because of any sub Saharan African nation, but because of the neighbourhood in which she finds herself. Mohammed Ali started determining the role of the Egyptian military by her geographical position since the 19th century when he built an army of about 90,000 men, even the Turkish sultan had to call on Egypt to free mecca from the onslaught of the Wahabis. By 1826 Egypt already had an army of 90.000 men. The eastern question was beginning to have its answer. The Europeans began to regard Egypt as the next Arabian power. As at then though some of the men that made up the Egyptian army were farmers and slaves ( falahan) they were whiped into subjection and trained to obey and execute military commands. This men were trained by French mercenaries. With that said i will like to let you all know that the Egyptian military have recorded more war than any state that exists or have ever existed in Africa. I ll be back with a list of the battles where the Egyptian military have been committed.
mzilakazi: Shut up!! your money is still in Pretoria waiting to be included in our national budget.
mzilakazi: SASOL has a large chunk of shares in Nigeria's oil. FACT!!!! Without SASOL tech your oil is going nowhere. SASOL owns Chevron petroleum and Nigeria Chevron 100% which is based in Bermuda and it also owns 50% of Chevron-Texaco with the possibility of consuming the whole company in the near future. So, what do you want to say now chief? You are owned. http://www.mbendi.com/company/sasol-limited-194 Without DSTV your Nollywood is going nowhere. It has provided training to most of your cameramen to improve picture quality and sound. DSTV sponsors most of the Nollywood projects and has even gave them an international exposure, so without their support Nollywood is going nowhere.
AugustineAgain: Nollywood sells mostly on DVD in shops and markets only few people watch nollywood on DSTV. Nigeria's oil industry existed and was owned since 1957 before you were born. NNPC Nigeria, Shell, Chevron-Texaco, Exxon-Mobil and Nigerian indigenous companies like CONOIL own 99.9% of Nigerian oil industry. The 0.01% we gave Sasol is thrilling your oil hungry nation, God did not bless you with oil, 0.01% looks big to South Africa Meanwhile, Nigeria's Dangote is taking over South African economy slowly but steadily....The richest African is a Nigeria .
mzilakazi: Fact remains people die of AIDS in Nigeria than anywhere in the world, meaning in real terms Nigeria has the highest stats than it is on paper. My argument is, let the other more than 80% of Nigerian population who do not know their status test and I believe Nigeria will take the trophy.
mzilakazi: Let the other 80% of Nigerians test and see them exceeding that 7 million.
i do hope you guys are enjoying all this derailment. this thread is a thread that have gained worldwide recognition because of its comprehensive focus on african defence, foreign policy and geo politics. i ran a search on google for a photo of a bmp3 and the first photo i got was from this thread. its ok to derail once or twice but you guys have just covered about 3 pages with derailment.
And the fact that Nigerians stream everywhere alone settles it.
And yes, the "terrible place" called South Africa has won tourism awards this year which have the following words in their name:
"best destination" "best"
So many awards, I have lost count.
These awards were bestowed by professional tourism bodies, who have bestowed zero AWARDS on Nigeria.
That's vastly different from being simply noted (without being seen as deserving of any awards) as being "mostly visited", which in Lagos' case is to be expected given Nigeria's overpopulation (the top two most visited cities being where again? Yes). Which overpopulation and infestation means what again? That Nigerians will stream everywhere, as long as it is away from "the wonderful" place called Nigeria. The "natural explorers" are "economic refugees", more like.
EVarn: hmm...i guess i'm getting a hang on my detective skill then....it is not paramount that you get the accurate data file of the target at once,if you're able to get a rough sketch....then you are good to go.anyway mr gottfried{and i certainly hope you dont get fried before we meet again.lol},i await your magnanimous contributions that promises to be enlightening,especially regarding "your area of expertise". NB: congratulations on your promotion.you seem diligent enough.

BUHARI is d only former state gov, GOC, minister of petroleum, head of state, PTF chairman dt does nt hv a filling station, any oil block, a foriegn account and doesn't travel abroad for medical treatment. Under Obj, btwn 1976-1980, Buhari wz d minister of petroleum and under his watch and supervision, Nigeria built and completed two refineries, d one dt Jonathan and his bunch of thieves hv bn unable to maintain nor even build one. My research also reveal dt Buhari refused even under pressure from foreign powers to devalue d Naira, hence d exchange under Buhari wz $1.2/N1, pls check d rate of exchange now. Under Buhari, Nigeria wz exporting refined petroleum because d refineries were working. Jonathan hs nt bn able to build 1 refinery even in hs native home of Otuoke. Corrupt officials and public waste had a very hard time under Buhari. For instance, it wz on record dt during Bihari gvt, no public officer wz going home with hs official vehicle, u drop d key once its 4pm. Today under Jonathan, public officers ar using our public helicopters to go and fetch water for dia girlfriends on wkends. Today, Jonathan hs 11 presidential jets which he maintains with a whopping $8m, making Nigeria d highest presidential fleet of jets, pls check hw many we hd under Buhari. D list is endless. Every past head of state in Nigeria collects a monthly pension of N23m bt Buhari wrote Min of finance and rejected his, bt requested for only 10% of d money which is N2.3m. I am confident dt Buhari will deal with corruption and its perpetrators. I am also confident dt if corruption is dealt with, 90% of Nigeria's problems will b solved. Dz ar my reasons for suppprting Buhari. Let Jonathan's pple tell us y de wnt us to continue d way we ar today without light.
under Buhari, I didn't have a car and a very beautiful girl for a girl friend,maybe its because I ws very young then. But under GEJ, I ve got a good job and a cutie pie. I will vote for GEJ not because I am a very good fan of his dress style, But because he is my future in law ( yea she came from BAYELSA) . so which of you mserable ApC fan wants to cry? ok let's start with the Op.
SA has a well drilled military machine, backed and oiled by the most advanced defence industry in Africa.
thunder go fire you the next time you talk that rubbish. A defence system producing only arrows and sword could be rated as more advanced as yours as long as it is the only one sustaining results in the continent. Pls could you tell me and give instances were your indigenous assets have being commited to ongoing operations. Cus despite the media bashing, Nigerian made equipment have being committed to the ongoing operation in Mali, Liberia and NE, so when you say the most advanced defence industry I began to wonder, in what area are this advancement being applied? In the area of Rhino poaching?
mzilakazi: Nope, we have not yet declared war against poachers because we know poachers are those people who seems to be trusted around those animals. SANDF was not designed to act as game rangers neither to parade as nature conservators.
so the SANDF men only went there to feed the Rhinos?
thanks for that, there was no way I could have brought myself to post such a disgraceful picture,but the facts are already on the table you fight against hunters but we fight against a Godless, barbaric religious horde our values, strenght and enemies are different.
mzilakazi: SA military has never staged state of emergency against poachers and Nigeria did. Even after SOE Boko haram prevailed and came out victorious. Your military is too weak to defeat Boko haram.
BH is humiliating you right in your own turf. It will not be long that they will start driving around with T-72s because I know how useless is your army. Mark my words
no it is you that is humiliating yourself by comparing a full blown insurgency with poaching.
This is what your poachers do. This is the limit to their capability, they hurt little unguarded wild animals https://static.squarespace.com/static/522920f8e4b04a6b0124d428/t/52732c04e4b0793e8f885aad/1383279621806/rhino-poaching.jpg nairaland policies would not allow me to post some of the disgusting inhumane crimes that the BokoHaram people commit. The men we fight against do not go around shaving Rhinos head, they do not fund themselves by selling Rhinos horn, they pack heavy fire , It is against them that we fight and it is against them that Godswilling we will win.
- falling oil prices - AIDS -Ebola -Boko Haram -Blood disease, etc.
What the hell is going on in Naija?
and we ll come out of this stronger with vast experience. I just hope by then Rhino poachers are not done taking over your country since that's your only problem. We re building a very qualified and elite force in Africa, we re fighting terrorism today so our children will not fight them tomorrow. We re not protecting Rhinos so that " white superiors" could come on vacations to view them, the things we do, we do for us.
agaugust: 21 Battalion SANDF, SA special forces and SAAF were all deployed in Rhino war and failed, if they had succeeded, you won't say it's not a military affair, will you? Mere local Rhino hunters dribbled SANDF and SAAF around in your own homeland, I wonder what will happen if 20,000 terrorists operate and live inside South Africa like we have in Nigeria, Jacob Zuma would have been taken hostage for ransome

"Rhino has cost South Africa a financial loss of about R228 million with the 333 rhinos poached last year alone. These are the statistics according to the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA); it is for this reason and the need to protect rhinos that the country is going all out to counter poachers. The deployment of South African National Defence Force (SANDF) members at the Kruger National Park has brought confidence that rhino poaching can be extinguished. The SANDF deployed 265 soldiers at Kruger National Park and the borders around the park in March this year, following a plea for help by the South African National Parks (SanParks).
In an interview with Defence magazine, Colonel Nceba Bobelo, Officer Commanding for Joint Operations Tactical Headquaters in Mpumalanga, said “Operation Corona” was making a huge difference in the fight against poachers. The Army brought in its expertise to beef up a team of Park Rangers, which was overwhelmed by the by increasing killing of rhinos for their horns. "We've got one Intelligence Tactical Regiment from Potchefstroom, which specialises in intelligence gathering. Special Forces and 21 Batallion, both in the park and on the borders," says Colonel Bobelo. The ground troops are supported by helicopters for a speedy chase of poachers. "The helicopters contribute a lot in terms of identifying areas where poachers are operating," he adds. Colone! Says that it became increasingly important to rope in the army when syndicates began using helicopters, night vision equipment and high-powered rifles in their expedition. The army is part of the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS), says Colonel Bobelo."
what's your problem now? We re talking about a nation with its men at war and you re talking about soldiers fighting Rhino poachers. Men that's a big insult to all the officers and men in the NE, why don't you just create a thread about the Nigerian park guards and have this bloody SAFA`s go there and compare their Rhino protection military service with them. So they actually went to fight the m23 rebels with their Rhino protection experience.
Wale112: The outspoken Presiding Bishop of Lighthouse Chapel, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills has urged Ghanaians to appreciate the symbols of development around them and know that they are better off than people in several other countries.
He said “when you look at all the shopping malls coming up in the country for instance you can tell that we are living in a Better Ghana and we need to be grateful.”
Bishop Heward-Mills was delivering his Christmas Day sermon on December 25, 2014 at the headquarters of the church, popularly known as the Qodesh in Accra.
The Bishop is noted for his candid statements about the poor state of the economy, corruption, political hypocrisy and several other things going wrong in Ghana. So his Christmas Day “Better Ghana” statement got the entire congregation laughing out loud till he said “I am serious.”
He explained that recently Ghana has seen several shopping malls like the West Hills Mall, Accra Mall, Marina Mall, A&C Mall and others, which are all symbols of the developed world coming to Ghana.
“When you go to these malls you see that America has been brought to Ghana and that is obviously a sign of a better Ghana. It did not used to be so but now it is,” he said.[\b]
[b]The Bishop also stated that recently he was in Guinea when Miss Guinea was crowned and her prize included a return trip to Ghana, which clearly meant that Guineans saw something in Ghana that they did not have in their country.
Dag Heward-Mills also said on a recent trip from Sierra Leone, he noticed that the Free Town Airport had only one aircraft sitting there, but on arrival in Ghana he saw several aircrafts belonging to various airlines at the Kotoka International Airport.[i][/i]
“Clearly this is another sign that we are living in a better Ghana,” he said. “In fact a wealthy friend of mine told me his two favorite cities in the world are Paris and Accra so we should not down play what we have.”
Earlier in his main sermon, the Bishop said it was wrong for Christians to be so spiritual and not live up to their responsibilities in the natural world.
He explained that when King Herod decided to kill baby Jesus, God asked his parents to run to Egypt and they did, and that was how Jesus was spared from the sword of Herod.
“If Joseph has said that because an angel spoke with him about Jesus being the son of God, that angel should have protected Jesus in Jerusalem, Jesus would have been killed because Joseph refused to play his part in the natural,” he said.
The Bishop therefore urged Christians to pay attention to what role they have to play in the natural to make the promises of God come to pass in their lives.
“We need to balance the spiritual with the physical – if God said you will be a doctor, you do not sit and fold your arms and become a doctor – you go to school and study hard before you become a doctor.
“If God said you will marry next year, you have to start being nice to people and start dressing good to look attractive – if you don’t, one year will pass and you will still remain single,” he cautioned.
Dag Heward-Mills also used the story of Noah and the Ark to explain that even though God promised to save Noah and family from the flood, Noah had to do hard work by building a big ark, convincing his family members, chasing after animals to get them into the ark and packing enough food for all the different kinds of animals into the ark in order for God’s promise to be fulfilled.
since he is a man of God, I guess he is speaking his mind. Let me focus on Wale112 whose dumbness have being the subject of much discussion on here. First of all Wale, I am very happy that Malls are being built in Ghana. It is good news. How else will I be able to come over there on the guise of shopping to take advantage of the judicious big bootied service of the female citizens in your country. My man, expect me in Ghana soon. Erm wale do u ve a sister? Don't be scared na wale, I just want to know so that I can prepare her gift before coming. Just send me her number let me ask if she like eating sussage roll.cus i ve a very big long sussage roll waiting for her here in Nigeria. Lol, merry Xmas @ wale112 and all the other Ghanian riffraffs on here.
eaz: Really? Human beings like you are missing and you turn it to a joke? What goes around comes around.
shattap!! Nairand activists. why didn't you join the protesters today. Human beings like me are missing? Do you know the level of commitment and personal sacrifices I have committed into this issue. How dare you criticise me. What ve you done apart from browse out news on this issue. You think people should always consider your opinion before saying something on here? Do not dare me. I repeat, do not dare me. Lol just kidding, merry Xmas Dear. Our Girls are in the hands of God now, only God can bring em back.
When one of us claimed the north Korean systems were shutdown I was first to say it was totally not US related and I am happy to know that henry also shares the same opinion (the only sane opinion). http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0K107920141223?irpc=932
Centrifude: *Unrelated* Are any of you guys following what's going on in North Korea right now?
Their Internet has been offline for a while now, Americans don't mess around, this is the highest form of retaliation its crazy.
can't be external. Guess the despot leader is trying to stop its citizens from the influence of western propaganda and to prevent them from downloading that movie. I repeat it cannot be entirely external. China and Iran have a certain level of sanctions on western media orgs backed up by their indigenous firewalls. Expect N`korea to do the same. The internet is not entirely controlled by america.
