Foreign Affairs › Re: VIDEO: Senegalese Troops Entering Gambia To Oust Jammeh by SmartyPants(m): 10:03pm On Jan 19, 2017
khadaffi:
Do you think those running ECOWAS are stupid? The recognised president of Gambia has probably given them the go ahead to arrest Jammeh. But I doubt if the forces are in Gambia already. What they will do is to see if the gambia military will be loyal to jammeh or Barrow. If the military is loyal to Jammeh, they will be treated as rebels. I don't think I need to tell you what that means. Ecowas forces are never going to fight a guerrilla. Warfare in Gambia, mark my words
Nigerian jets have been patrolling the airspace since noon, and the Senegalese have been on ground for at least a couple of hours. The Gambian CDS has said he won't order his troops to fight so there won't be much resistance all over the country.

But the National guards are reputedly fiercely loyal and can be expected to potentially put up a fierce fight at the presidential residence.

You guys need to get this right. In the video those are Senegalese troops still within a Senegalese Town near the border, get set to cross over. That was hours ago though.

What happened to Mary? When/how did Mary die? Why doesn't the Bible say what happened to Mary?
The bible is not a historical journal even though it does contain history. Why do you need to know these details?

jammeh has every constitutional right to challenge election results just like buari dullard did in 2003, 2007 n 2011. as far as iyam concern, yaya jammeh so far has not broken any law. ecowas should be held responsible for d political crisis in gambia.
You obviously are not well acquainted with the law. I won't spend my time on you but i advise you to make judicious use of google. Look-up the following terms:

1. Constitutionalism
2. Rule of law vs. rule by law
3. Principles of Equity

O boy, some African countries just seem far behind. That picture looks like Aba in the 60s.
Serrekunda is not a city. Its just a low-income part of Banjul. You could consider this one of the slums and i think for that status this is actually pretty decent by African standards.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Senegal Gives Jammeh Midnight To Vacate Presidency Seat by SmartyPants(m): 1:31am On Jan 19, 2017
Hargbo:
I ve been wondering and thinking a lot, and I ve read a lot of Post concerning President Jammeh.
Before I go on, I dont want us to be so confident on the efficacy of what the media brings to us on this pressing issue. I want my fellow Nairalanders to look at all this my Hypothesis with your wisdom
1. Jammeh has been ruling for over 20 years and none of his Cabinet member or subordinate is crying out for His removal. Am sure he has his people occupying every Government seat down to the Local Government, No wonder the Judiciary, Legislature, Electoral Bodies, even the military are silent over this issue because they are eating in the same bowl
2. Despite the cries and displeasure of Foreign bodies and Government, Jammeh remains resolute and unshakable...What does he believe in and he is so sure of that he is ready to bear the storm coming. You should know he is not even hiding like Gadaffi and co
3. Why is it the Boko haramians strike has gone down for a while at the same time Jammeh refuse to concede defeat. Or is it that the Bokonians are in Gambia right now to support a fellow brother to show the World the will of Allah
4. The Nigerian Government did not attain to quell the Fulani invasion in Southern Kaduna are now eager to show off there bomber and fighter Jet. Are they showing there concern or is there a conspiracy here..
5. If Jammeh cannot have the throne he is ready to destroy the throne.
6. Am also wondering how the new President even though he manage to get the throne will be able to 22years of Jammeh reign
7. The reason why I think Senegal is ready to move in is because Gambi is practically enclose by Senegal except the sea port access that will allow you to enter Gambia without going through Senegal
8. Jammeh should not be taken lightly, he has more backup than we think
I
Analysis must start with facts then move to deuction. You have started with thin air. Enter Ahmadou Scattred Janneh into google for starters. Then you will realize that what we are dealing with here is far beyond armchair analysis.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Breaking News: ECOWAS Troops Given Go Ahead To Invade The Gambia by SmartyPants(m): 7:57pm On Jan 18, 2017
cheruv:
That's quite small..jamme should mobilize the Gambian armed forces, replenish their provisions and then declare war on Senegal.
The Gambian army should remain on the defensive in the North while being on the offensive in the South. Divide the invading army into three wings,using a blitzkrieg style smash into the casamance region of Senegal.
Senegal would quickly withdraw from the alliance to resist the invasion and all talks about Barrow taking over would fizzle out.
You are a first rate clown. This foreign affairs section is the most hilarious place on Nairaland!!

How many soldiers do you think Gambia has?

I still think you're a tourist who fell in love with a Senegalese female soldier.
It is still a military taskforce enforcing mop up after the US and allied invasion. Ask your girlfriend to tell you what a military taskforce is. You're still a novice.
When you first insulted me with "fat" I called you out and you claimed it wasn't an insult.

Now you're woefully losing an argument and you're introducing insults again.

You're a hypocritical sod whom the world would never have suffered the misfortune of knowing if you have flowed away as part of your father's wet dreams and soil his bed sheet. Your blot on the sheet would have proven the efficacy of a detergent solution, and humanity would have learnt something form your nonexistence.

That's far more than your presence on earth can ever hold! cheesy

How do you like the insult now.

oya post your pic. prove me wrong about you being fat
Romance › Re: She Said She Can't Marry Me, But Now, She Wants Me To Marry Her, Help by SmartyPants(m): 4:09pm On Jan 18, 2017
Daytonbale:
I met a lady, approached her, she accepted me after some months. We have dated for 9 months now, but when i met her she told me that she has a man that wants to marry her, that she dated him for like 1year and 6 months. We love ourselves, every thing has been going well with two of us.

I asked her, "will you marry me?", she said "No" that some else is there to marry her. I said no issue about that. I forgot anything marriage with her, we only date , so we have been dating since then. I forget everything about marriage with her .

I was surprise when she told me that she has changed her mind, that she will marry me. What should I do ?
That the man is not Serious with her that she loves me.

Am confused cuz she told me point blank that she cant marry me .
Am financially ok, I'm confused. I need help

Please help
The girl may end up being a good wife for you since ordinarily you liked her enough to want to marry you, and she liked you enough to stay with you all that while. Perhaps she has been conditioned into thinking about marriage in a certain way and she might be confused herself. Her apparent infidelity may not yet be a reason to cast her aside.

I'll leave you with this simple rule: never make permanent, life-altering decisions when you are in a state of confusion.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Senegal, Not Nigeria To Lead West African Troops To Gambia by SmartyPants(m):
Timelezz:
Guy,why you dull like this?
Firstly your source you sited shot you fatally in the leg.

My position has always been the M16 is not the only riffle used by the Senegalese troops. And your site just proved that. And that's why you have been so, so reluctant to produce proof until I forced you to do so.
Your source listed riffles used by Senegalese regular including M60
South Korea's K2 is in service in Nigeria Indonesia and Senegal too
It is evident you love argument for banter sake or to feel better about yourself.

The second source was a dynamite exploding in your tent too. Senegal and 8 other Islamic countries were used as TASK-FORCE to clear the high way in Kuwait.

And you sited this as fighting the in the gulf war? Ever heard of a clean up and mop up ?
Lol! !! I think you are delusional.

You also cleverly omitted the exerpt which stated that the NORINCO Senegal was displaying as all new has been in service in Chad, Djibouti and Cameroon.

There goes your mythical claim of Senegalese better equiped army.


The point you have proved with both sources you cited are the same facts I have been reiterating here which are:

1) the M16 isn't the default /or only riffle used by the Senegalese troops

2) Senegalese troops aren't as equipped as Chad.., ivory Coast Ghana and even Djibouti


3) Senegalese troops are used as guards in Saudi Arabia

4) They have very limited real combat experience. (You're mistaking regular peacekeeping to real war.)

Mr man,there's a resin Senegal is not ranked even in too 30 in Africa.

You have not been able to prove these:

1)You have failed to prove that Senegal uses only M16

2) That they are more equipped than most west African countries.

3) they they have more experience or better equipped

The only thing you have successfully proved without a doubt is your chronic dyslexia!
For the benefit of passerbys i honor you with a response:

1. Quote the place where i said the bolded.

2. I can also see that you don't know the meaning of standard issue.

3. "The Senegalese forces joined troops from eight other Islamic nations during the ground offensive to form a 30,000-member task force that rolled up the coastal highway into Kuwait from their positions in Saudi Arabia, overrunning Iraqi defenses."

As for the rest, let the viewers judge for themselves.

grin

I can bet you are fat.

Europeans using planes but hope you realize this is funded from their private pockets? The Europeans who are leaving are tourists who arrived on holiday deals where, of course, they have return tickets included. Their return date has simply been brought forward.

Nigeria is sending a ship for her people.

Other African nations have not even sent a canoe.

We have not stopped the crises in Southern Kaduna, Our jets are miss firing and all we care about is Gambia. Though i do not support Jammeh, but we need to put our house in order in other to be a good example.

If it was Africa that colonized other continents i can assure you that no country would have gained independence up till now, we are self centered and extremely wicked.
So Nigerian citizens in Gambia are not part of the concern of the government?
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Why Do Unemployed Nigerians Want A Job But Reject Marketing Job At All Cost? by SmartyPants(m):
Lol mehn marketing for Nigerian companies is something else o

The first problem is that the average customer is resistant to marketing. Once you introduce yourself as a representative of any company, you can just see the mental walls start to go up. People are out there looking for ways to get money and the moment they realize you want to take money from them they lose interest.

The second problem is that your superiors may refuse to be understanding. So for the average marketer the day is full of various forms of rejection. You get to the office and oga looks at you with disgust because you can't meet his targets, you go out to the market and the customers look at you with disgust because when they prayed for good things to come their way that day, they probably didn't have you in mind.

My first marketing job was for a garbage collection firm and I was successful but it was not easy. My boss seemed unable to conceptualize the fact that two hours of door to door marketing in the hot sun is worth 2 days of sitting in a cool air conditioned office
