The girl is not serious but no need to dump her yet. Take what she has to give until you find someone you prefer and then bounce along.

Life is very easy no need to over complicate things with emotions.

wow....
your first pointing on winning or not winning a battle.. aha while Nigerian troops were fleeing from boko haram our patriotic soldiers were singing songs of glory and victory.have you ever heard of Cameroon hiring mercenaries to do their fight?

on the second point on weaponry.. Nigerian air force and infantry is dominated Biafra era weapons. lol..while our patriotic army have undergone radical modernisation since the start of the 2000s..we have a small but efficient military while you guys are bragging over old outdated, inefficient, incompetent, Ill discipline,mismanage army.
On the third point you raised you displayed full Nigerian trait of naivety and ignorance..
gendarmes are not soldiers!! they play a complementary role as police.. we have a better well organise less corrupt police core than Nigeria..OK back to my explanation on gendarme.. they are trained to deal with situation as those happening in the South east region of Nigeria which is now capital for pirates, arms groups,oil pipe vandals etc..Cameroon gendarme proved the Worth when they dealt with the UPC terrorist in the 1960 shortly after independence.. they even succeeded I. holding large chunks of bakassi..
oohhh!! Nigerian officers only know of how to seize power in a coup..signs of poor discipline and unpatriotism...
most importantly am still to see a Nigerian leader intelligent enough to have diplomatic military relationships with Russia, US,China,France,Israel etc with all of them having personnels on ground!!!! that's what we call strength!! which Nigeria is totally lacking!!!..
grin

I know you must defend your country na... but lets face facts... Nigeria is unmatched militarily by Cameroun. And i know what gendarmes are: they more or less could be compared to Nigeria's mobile police force.

If we want to be totally objective here, it is undeniable that Nigeria is the superior military power in the sub-region, and second only to South Africa within the entire sub-saharan bloc.

If we line up the facts side by side bro the result will be an embarrassment.

PerfectlyPerfect:
don't make it sound like the army has become better equipped. the only arm of the military that has been upgrading their fleet is the navy. the army and air force has been revelling in antiquity. truth be told, if the Cameroonians were really on a hostile mission, we would've been taken unawares, and they would've used that element of surprise to their advantage.
I'm tired of our stupidity in this country. we're too busy being divided along religious and ethnic lines
Nonsense!

Both the army and airforce alongside the navy have been received regular upgrades.

I think most of you really need a lesson in English comprehension: The naval command said they were not formally briefed of the camerounian ship's intentions. This has two simple implications for any rational person:

1. Not being aware of their intentions does not mean they are unaware of their presence. This is patently obvious. I hate the fact that i have to break it down like this because everyone old enough to use a smartphone should be mentally advanced enough to think and make the following deductions, that:

a. A solitary patrol boat cannot do much harm if any at all.

b. Even if it could do any harm, within 30 minutes just one of Nigeria's airforce jets would send it to the depths of the deep blue sea. But even without the jets, Nigeria has frigates that far outclass every other navy vessel in the gulf of guinea. NNS Aradu or thunder can easily sink any other vessel in the region in under 5 minutes. The point is, if that vessel came here on a hostile terms, that would be pure suicide.

c. Cameroon is a friendly nation with whom we have ongoing military cooperation. There would be no reason, to assume they had hostile intentions. Furthermore, the report says the Cameroonian naval command aboard the vessel were saluted by the Nigerian navy, meaning they were welcomed.

d. In light of the above, from the perspective of the Nigerian navy, the incursion by the Cameroonian's is unusual but nothing serious.

2. The Nigerian naval command may have been informally briefed of the purpose of the visit.

.
aha I read one article in which Nigerian army drag nigerians on mud by claiming they pushed Cameroonian soldiers to some few km away from Yaoundé.. I love the way Nigerians are correctly misinform...
I think the Cameroonian gendarme alone can humble Nigeria..look at the south east of Nigeria.kidnappers,pirates, arm groups are operating with impunity.. I think you guys need the services of the Cameroonian gendarme..our terror units will humble them in 5 days
I don't see how soldiers who flee from boko haram can think of fighting Cameroon..
we also know the outcome of a war is does not depend on the battle field alone..diplomatically Nigeria is inferior to Cameroon.. we can still pull the same stunt we pulled on you guys over bakassi..look our warship used your waters as if it is a free space..am waiting to see when a Nigerian warship will cross over to Cameroon uninvited or without notification
I read an article in which Nigerian police were protesting their transfer to the north where there is boko haram..Cameroonian soldiers are begging to be transfer up north where there is boko haram..
Nigerian army is always winning wars on paper.. killing shekau every day lol.
With regards to the bolded:

1. You are correct in saying you "think". Since in fact one can scour the entire collection of history books in all the libraries in the world, and one will not find a single instance of Camerounian troops of any kind whether they be gendarmes or soldiers, ever successfully winning any sort of battle.

2. Sadly, your country does not even possess a solitary warship. The so-called warship that arrived in Calabar was a mere patrol boat. Reasonable beings can see that had it been that glorified canoe was in Nigerian waters on a hostile mission, by now it would be resting in the cradle of the ocean floors, sadly, along with its occupants.

As a matter of fact, may i inform you that Nigeria is the only country anywhere in West Africa with fully functional warships. Even those who presume themselves to be our closest rivals, Ghana, do not have them.

3. You have compared Nigerian police with Cameroonian soldiers. Again, even a moderately well-educated secondary school girl would not make such a poor logical composition. Further, where is the evidence that Cameroonian soldiers are begging to be sent to the warfront? produce just one article to prove it

Concerning the general truth:

In the history of conflict between Nigeria and Cameroon, Nigeria has always dominated, inflicting embarrassing defeat on what you Cameroonians would call soldiers.

A ship docking isnt d issue but I don't expect ur brains to know what it means for a ship to dock without d Naval command in d country aware of why. Anyway go and write ur jamb.. Let us know wen ur result is out... I don't know u from Adam and don't think I can insult u any more dan nature has done...
You would only think a ship docking is not the issue because you don't have sense.

If the naval authority permitted the ship to dock then it means they are confident that it is here on friendly terms, and even if it were not here on friendly terms Cameroun does not possess any vessel that is remotely threatening to Nigeria's Navy.

It is like driving a police car to an army barracks. Of course they will let you in because they have no reason to fear you and then you will explain your mission.

Try to be smart.

there are other ships in equatorial Guinea and Congo. today is our national day I heard it on television so I decided to check what Nigerians think about it..

for those warmongers the Nigerian army may be large and frightening but it is grossly inefficient and undisciplined.. U guys always brag of marching to Yaoundé in a week.but flee from the ill arm, ill train boko haram..what of a well organise Cameroon?.. How long did it take you guys to defeat Biafra? despite help from Cameroon with the blockade. imagine if we allowed resources to flow into Biafra.
Try to sound intelligent. The Nigerian army of 2014 was grossly under equipped due to corruption. But since 2015 we have pummeled boko haram so to sieze on that to somehow infer that your military is better is laughable. A well educated secondary school student wouldn't make such poor logical deduction.

As for bringing the biafra war if 50 years ago... Again, try to have sense.

I tell you, only Nigerias Mobile police force alone can sack Yaoundé in under 5 days. Go and read history to learn What general Abacha did to your arses when you tried to misbehave over the bakassi peninsula.

A WARSHIP was received with d Navy Chief in charge of d region admitting to not knowing their mission? Some of U jus make comments without thinking first.. Try driving a couple of Army Tanks towards d Cameroonian border without informing dem on why u're coming and see what would happen first.
Will you shut up?!

Like I said you do not know anything. It is impossible for a warship from anywhere to dock without the knowledge and permission of the naval authorities. The problem is that you do not even know the meaning of the word dock.

Your comment does not even relate to my post. Idiot

How can d navy not b aware of why a WARSHIP is docked on their waters for heavens sake whether friendly or not?? So na to wait till d ship reach here den find out if its friendly abi... Choiii

Lalasticlala jus negodu...
The problem is that you don't know anything. For the ship to "dock" it means it was received into the harbour/naval base. That we dont know why they are here does not mean we did not see them coming!

Christianity Etc › Re: How Could you claim you Know God Yet Lack Power To Work? by SmartyPants(m): 10:31am On May 14, 2017
lightblazingnow:
A lot of things are really happening in our day to day existence on earth, and I strongly believe that we are in the last part of the time of humanity. So many fraudsters have appeared not only in the stage of the world systems​, but also to pervert the knowledge of the true Light.


Listen to me, it doesn't matter how many liars roam the streets of men. The truth must prevail and there is nothing anyone can change about it. You can not claim as so many of you say, that you are in relationship with the most high God and Lack power to work wonders and miracles. I know that immediately so many will rush to the Bible to quote chapter where the scriptures ask "do all work miracles" you should be already be ashamed of yourself. Because in the first place you are not a child of God Almighty and you had better admit that before you are thrown out of the family house.



When you said you accepted the seed of the living God Almighty into your heart, your heart received power to become a child of God Almighty. It was made right. That means equal with him. This is the fact and I also know that false and foolish jesters who doesn't have the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge to experience the power of the living God Almighty will misconstrue this information to look educated and informed. Whereas they are blind and have no clue of what they speak.


As many as receive the gift of the most high God Almighty offers to anyone obtained eternal Life. Now this is the same life the most high God Almighty has which makes him God. The way people have traditionalise CHRIST JESUS in the world is even as the scriptures predicted.

The point is you have been born into the original power of the living God Almighty if you believe that CHRIST JESUS is lord of all and that he died and Risen by the glory of his father God Almighty. This is so serious and because people don't take this thing very seriously, in time of evil they begin to look for quick fix. You have the authority over snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy of your soul Satan.


Yet you hear folks saying why didn't God collect the power from Satan when he threw him out of his presence?. For the record purpose, go and ask Satan if he still has his powerful sword which was his at the beginning. You see, powers or Blessings are confered through spoken word. And the lord God Almighty said let there be light and there is light till this day.


Most times people think the almighty should operate like them. You have to learn of him and you will find rest for your soul. Your soul will remain restless until a home is discovered.


I am warning you all if you haven't experienced the power of the living God Almighty you have no business talking about him. Why do you all allow natural shocked men twist your mind so much that you have substituted the word of the living God for your tradition. Thereby making it inactive. I declare to you that forever the world of God Almighty is settled in heaven.
This is a relatively long piece, yet you did not once tell us of some of the miracles you have worked yourself... why?

Or are you preaching what you do not practice?

Travel › Re: Relocating To An African Country: Is It Worth It? by SmartyPants(m): 9:52am On May 13, 2017
Everything is relative.

What skills do you have? Are those skills in demand in the country you are trying to move to? Are you going in empty handed or do you have some capital?

Do your research on each country to find out what their tolerance levels are for foreigners, what their unemployment levels are, cost of living etc. Don't rush through this. If you take your time to carefully list out all the pros and cons of each one then you will be better able to make a smart decision.

From the bit i know:

Sierra Leone is a country full of opportunity and if you have the capital to set up a business you will most likely succeed. However, the cost of living is very high.

Gambia is a virgin land, depending on what you can offer. Life is somewhat laid back here.

Senegal is a great place for highly educated workers, particularly if you can speak a bit of french. People who speak both french and english are highly valued.

Guinee Bissau is also a virgin land that is beginning to see economic growth and a bit of political stability. If you have the money to set up a business, this might be a smart location.

Romance › Re: What's The Most Dishonest Thing A Man Had Done Around You? Check These Answers by SmartyPants(m): 1:22am On May 08, 2017
Not a lady but lemme contribute this story that happened recently:

I got in a taxi with another chap. i sat in the front and he at the back. I couldn't help but overhear him speaking with what must have been his girlfriend because he was telling her he loves her and making plans to take her to go eat at some place they go to (obviously a place she likes).

Less than 30 seconds after ending that call (this was around 10 pm), this guy was on the phone with another lady telling her he wants to "have fun tonight", and she should meet him around 12.

He drops that all and gets on the phone with the first lady (or maybe another lady), telling her he won't be able to talk with her on the phone tonight as he is tired and going to bed.

All of this takes about 5 mins. Real life.
