I think the US trained rangers are the first.

supposed to be. but the training was cancelled halfway.

MikeCZAR:
Weren't core members of the 143rd battalion mobilized to create the 72nd strike force?

no. 72 strike force is made up of men from different sf units. i think it's the first special operations unit of the army. i stand corrected though

Thunderlicious:
U need Christ

I need you

braine:
Well, the joke is on you.

lol. cool retort

a typo is in no way similar to a blunder. you can correct a typo after you double check. (which is normal by the way).

but a grammatical blunder remains so because you just don't know how else to express it.

seriously dude, i smh for your level of understanding

braine:
Wouldnt the HR first read the CV before even inviting you for an interview?? Or you think and automated system would pick your cv with typos and send you an interview invite? I pirry you bro.

you see the problem with some of our graduates which you are also displaying?

lack of comprehension.

do yourself a favor by carefully reading the post you responded to before disgracing yourself further.

midolian:
Stale. The jobs are simply not there.

bro. jobs are plenty. it's just the opportunity to discover them and your packaging to get the jobs that's the problem.

if you can't find any, create one. there are a lot of things you can do to raise little money to push any idea you have.


it's the inability to be creative that's the problem in our society these days. not just lack of jobs

braine:
That could make you jobless too.

are you jobless? cos you don't seem to get the point but defending a grammatical blunder by comparing it to a typo.

will you speak with keyboards when facing interviewers? and which sensible person won't double check his CV for typos before sending?

bros, park well abeg

braine:
You inclusive. Look at your topic line.

MTN TO PAY

Chai!! Our Zulu brothers go tear shirt for this news [size=8pt][/size]

While pleading for staggered payment model, MTN has finally bowed to pressure as it has accepted to pay the N1.04 trillion fine slammed on it last week by the telecoms regulatory authority, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Accordingly, the telecoms operator was fine for violating its directive on SIM deactivation.
This follows series of meeting held between MTN management team from South Africa and Nigeria with the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
The telecoms operator which has largest subscriber base in Nigeria, it was gathered, may have agreed to pay the fine to sustain the interest of its telecoms business.
Industry sources who confirmed the new arrangement, disclosed that the federal government is already yielding to the plea, which according to him, was part of the agreement reached at the series of meeting held at the weekend in Nigeria.
“There have been series of meeting at the Presidency between the Vice President Osinbajo and MTN team both from South Africa and the Nigerian arm. MTN wanted a waiver considering their level of investments in the country, but government did not buy the idea of waiver. Instead, I think there will be concession, but certainly not a waiver. At the conclusion of the meeting, the MTN people negotiated on how to stagger the payment. The Presidency is even angry because MTN was a signatory to the regulation, but they are failing to comply with rules.”, the source added.
It would be recalled that NCC had said that MTN would not escape the fine, owing to the enormity of its implication to national security.
Although NCC had hinted that the issue is being handled by the federal government, the telecoms authority also noted that MTN would risk withdrawal of its licence if its fails to comply with the fine.
Even with the widespread calls for the intervention of the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), on the N1.04 trillion fine, Chief Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), had last week called on the NSA not to intervene in the matter, adding that NCC regulation must take its course.
NCC said it had consistently engaged Mobile Network Operators, (MNOs) to strictly adhere to the regulations and its business rules in the registration of their subscribers.
Following several engagements, the Commission had confirmed various cases of violations of the regulations and sanctioned appropriately.

An American detailing how you stand to lose big on FDI.

https://asokoinsight.com/news/nigeria-risks-fdi-with-unprecedented-5-billion-mtn-penalty/

Fool. I see your illiteracy is yet to improve.

Investors are being cautious because Nigeria is yet to have an economic team. If your brain was working you would understand that was his main point.

Just wait for buhari to name his cabinet and see the magic happen.

mtn will pay and there's nothing your government can do about it.

mzilakazi:
Yesterday talks were held on the radio with SA commercial sabotage expert in which issues were raised concerning MTN's outrageous fine of $5.2 billion. It was, however noted that Nigeria is in a huge financial crisis owing to constant falling oil prices and hence will look up to any means to amount any cash even by illegitimate means.

The following possibilities were raised by experts.

1. The fine was predetermined and outrageous, no where in the world have you seen such madness.

2. The nature of Nigeria's institutions of higher learning characterised by low quality education and consequently producing half-baked professionals as in the case of Nigerian professionals whom were hired by MTN Nigeria has effectively played a role. The action of deactivating even over 100 million subscribers could not have taken SA trained technicians more than five days to complete. This effectively proves that Nigeria's universities are of a low grade for producing half-baked professionals who could not render a simple task of deactivating unregistered sim cards on their mainstream network.

3. The element of bribery could have as well taken effect, since MTN had always been a target of Nigerias government. There is a high possibility that the CEO of MTN Nigeria being a Nigerian by birth could have been compromised in exchange of exorbitant amount of bribes to drag his feet in response to catching up with the deadline set up by the commission.

What are avenues for MTN?

1.MTN should institute immediate forensic investigation with experts imported from SA and America to investigate the commission of white collar crimes and sabotage.

2. A total pull out at no cost. MTN has an option of shutting down their business in Nigeria and leave them with a burden of unemployment and shrinking GDP with nothing to pay.

3. South Africa and Indian relations have now been lifted with already some SA shops launching their business in India. MTN has an option of dumping Nigeria for India.

THIS HOWEVER SERVES AS PRECEDENT FOR FOREIGN COMPANIES AND INVESTORS TO KEEP AWAY FROM NIGERIA AND LEAVE IT TO SINK IN A POOL OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND LOW FDI.

Wow!! Just wow!!

If this guy is the most intelligent man and one of the products of south African education, I can only smh

His opinion on the way forward for MTN can best be argued by south African drunks in pubs. Not on a radio show

MTN stocks has been on a steady decline since the fine was imposed. What's to say the company will recover when it loses it's Nigerian market being it's biggest revenue earner and largest in the world.

Who is to be investigated by the forensic experts? Did the blockhead realize that mtn has been flouting Nigerian laws since it's inception in Nigeria?

3 times the deadline for sim deactivation was pushed because of this south African yellow parasite yet you animals scream of being victimized when authorities finally get serious?

Is mtn the only telco in Nigeria? Why is it mtn that has to be the one being caught doing wrong.

He talks about half baked graduates but forgot it was the same graduates that have managed the business to remain the biggest telco in Nigeria till date.

Same Nigerian engineers that have worked on expansion projects for more than a decade now and are managing other telcos in the country.

You south Africans think only jobs will be affected in Nigeria. MTN losing it's biggest revenue earner will cause a lot of downsizing which will also affect south Africans as well since your salaries come from Nigeria you illiterate fools.

And by the way, with a market like Nigeria, if mtn withdraws, the effect will only be temporary for us since they are not listed on our stock exchange and the government only has to implement policies for other telcos to close the gap or new telcos willing to come in to have a share of the market taking the advantage.

So anyway it goes, SA will be most affected.

You south Africans should beg your government to declare a state of emergency on south African brains. It's too slow for practical reasoning.

Henry120:
Reading the Turks and Americans hyper-ventilate on this issue is so hilarious!

There is yet no evidence that the Russians have a MIG-29 in Syrian. It's likely a Syrian or Iranian MIG-29.

Truth is though, I wouldn't want a conflict between the Russians and Turks, i mean for one, the Turks are no push-overs, the have the world's 3rd largest F-16 fleet behind the U.S and Egypt at 260 planes.

They also fly the most modern, all over 260 Turkish F-16s are of comparable standard as American F-16s. They are better than Block 52s.

there is no report of iran deploying jets in syria. so it's either russia has some MIGs not reported in syria or it coukd be the syrians themselves because they've strayed into turkish terrritory like twice at the early stage of the war.

MikeCZAR:
Not a single chance against the Russians.
I also believe they are better trained.

agreed. turkey against russia will be like somalia against south africa.
not a chance

Patchesagain:
this news is too good to miss.

Four Russian warships have struck 11 targets in Syria with 26 cruise missiles, from the fucking Caspian Sea... 1500km away

Warships are the Buyan-M class and they're firing SS-27 Sizzler missiles.

Footage too! And it is fantastic.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMasnaAf_H4

Read somewhere that a Russian mig-29 locked on Turkish f-16 jet along turkish-Syria border but didn't shoot.

The surprise was that the Turkish jets were scrambled to intercept the Russians and guess who locked on it's target first

I just hope this whole fiasco doesn't lead to another war

BH takes over Mordas town." In Hile Alifa subdivision. Villagers have abandoned the town to them for some days now.

Cameroon is gradually becoming a safe haven for this group. This will be a setback for the successes we have had so far.

FighterPilot:
I was responding to your last sentence.

And what did my last sentence have to do with your response? Can you explain the correlation?

The fact that you chose to carve out a small line out of a reasonable interaction so you could make your usual shallow comment is evidence that you are incapable of sound reasoning.

Go finish your wanking

FighterPilot:
Killed by beheading isn't? The man was killed in an islamic terrorist execution style. How will the world know if he was guilty and only if his killing has been justified on black magic.

Dude just shut up. You this shallow fibble minded hypocrite.

The whole africa knows that you people (south africans) are the worst barbarians on this continent.

we are yet to recover from the worst act of barbarism displayed by you animals and you come here to form saints over a beheaded terrorist.

Dude, you people decapitate innocent and hardworking people just because they are foreigners

Yet you cry fowl because a terrorist/murderer/ child molester got what he deserved?

Is there a worst hypocrite than a south African?

FighterPilot:
Too complex to even understand why their military kills its citizens and behead suspected terrorists in a cruel manner.

When you are done masturrbating, re-read the conversation and exercise your brain with sensible argument for once in your life.

You don't always have to be shallow all the time

Patchesagain:
Has anyone ever stopped to think that Boko Haram has less to do with Jihad and more to do with the Hausa-Fulani Faction loosing power to the Ijaw before they felt their term was through (3 years instead of and that the decline of Boko Haram has more to do with the fact that a Hausa-Fulani faction leader is in power than anything else?

Especially since you consider that Goodluck was only in office because of militant action.

Explains why religiously moderate Officers in the Army (who are mainly Hausa-Fulani) supporting Boko in the early days?

Heavy shit, but something to think about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONoaqRaIcT0

@Henry120

Of all documentaries and reports about Nigeria written by some ignorant foreigners, this guy seems to know more.

And like he rightly said, only Nigerians understand Nigeria.

Goodluck could have ended BH but he instead politicized it and waited till election before taking it serious (you also have to consider the fact that we faced sabotage from western powers too because Jonathan refused to play ball regarding some of their colonial policies).

And buhari is just feeding off jonathans last minute successes.

For the sake of enlightenment you should know that previous Fulani governments too faced islamic insurgencies.

1) Maitatsine during buhari regime in the 80s
Lastly, BH is not a Hausa Fulani movement, it's dominated by kanuri.

2) Boko haram uprising during yaradua

Both these leaders were very quick and decisive to end it while Jonathan... Well... You know the rest

Obasanjo didn't have problems because he appeased the group in the north while fighting in the south at the same time. Because it would have been impossible to fight on both fronts because Nigeria was just recovering from sanctions that had crippled the economy and military.

Simply put.. Nigeria is too complex for foreigners to understand.

EVarn:
UNCONFIRMED: Aljazeera headlines news just reported a few hours ago that Nigeria has joined the coalition against ISIL.

Buhari is just playing politics with Obama (seeing as Obama is getting desperate and will accept help from even it's foes).

1) our air force lacks the capabilities

2) we still have boko haram to deal with

3) no Nigerian soldier will even think of dying for those racist Arab Kunts.

Honestly, I laughed when I saw the news. Obama and the west are really getting desperate.

And patches will still come here to claim they are winning.

EVarn:
True talk my brother.
However,we should be cautious in condoning these extra-judicial misbehaviours,because it can be very addictive.
Our troops can do better than their American counter-parts.

You are saying it cos this one got posted online.

My brother, a lot happens behind the scenes in war. I only used the American example to prove my point that no military, no matter how professional is innocent of acts like this in warfare (behind the scenes)

There's nothing extra-judicial about killing a terrorist. It's the best punishment that suits them. Those animals don't deserve a trial that will cost taxpayers money.

EVarn:
It is indeed disturbing that a few misguided individuals in the army would relish in such a horrific endeavor.
But,of course,these guys could be boko haram members masquerading as army personnels in order to tarnish the impeccable image of our proffessional military.
We simply do not have solid evidence to back these pictures,and therefore we cannot jump into any educated conclusion.

Abeg Evarns save all this face saving comments just to please some ignorant and hypocritical south Africans.

These same dunderheads supported their police after the summary execution of 30 protesting miners.

They'll support US troops beheading terrorists and pissing on their corpses. And the rant at any slight blunder of Nigerian security forces.

Those guys are Nigerian army and the head they are holding was a BH strongman that has killed, raped and abducted children.

Looking at the pic makes me proud of our boys and I hope they serve us more boko haram heads. Fvck what these fools think. Although I blame the person that posted the pic, but the act is a welcome development and I hope they continue tills those dogs are no more

Na we dey wear the shoe and we know where it hurts.

DictatorZAR:
Are those corpses american?

Still looking for excuses while displaying Ignorance

Read what you wrote again dunderhead.

You are saying the US is right for mutilating enemy terrorists (whether American or not)?

Please go back to trolling with other issues aside military. Ode

DictatorZAR:
Did Americans kill there own militants by such cruelty inside American borders NO. .

Yes I agree with you that its not your entire military that's involved in these acts but the fact remains this is not the first of such reports. This has been going on since the start of the anti boko haram campaign and this kind of acts together with other human rights atrocities is exactly what fuels people to join boko haram. What do you think the reaction will be amongst other youths who knew him and had no intention of becoming a militant?.

Mumu. Your comment in red proves how you saffers like to delude yourselves with irrelevant and nonsense mentality.

When did beheading non Americans become a norm in American military? Or beheading a foreign enemy combatant/militant?

Are you saying US soldiers were right? Because it's the US? Gosh!!!

Secondly, you should visit Nigerian forums and see the positive responses this pic has gotten.

By the way you the ignorant Soweto mumu, BH forcefully recruit most of it's members and the guy in the pic may not be Nigerian as foreigners also hold ranks in the group.

Sit your ignorant self down and think before ranting nonsensically.

DieVluit:
If the atrocities are not broadcast to the world, how come you know about them? Clearly, you are talking rubbish and sucking things out of your thumb. You could always prove me wrong by posting a picture of a US soldier posing with the head of an enemy soldier, after having cut it off.

Gracia.

Even the most professional military isn't innocent.

Still displaying your ignorance I see

[quote author=Henry120 post=38466056][/quote]That was a perfect response Henry.

Henry120:
- Only 4 US trained "moderate" rebels are still in the fight against Nusra front and ISIL.

* This is another clear evidence of the "sh*tiness" of US military training.


- Fact, NATO, especially the U.S and UK can't thank their stars more for Vlad's intervention in Syria.


- Over 25,000 air strikes in Syria and Iraq proves my point, air strikes alone are largely ineffective in COIN.



* In other news,

The anti-Houthi coalition who invaded Yemen are having themselves invaded by the Houthis they are supposed to be invading.

True that.

And I also believe Europe is paying the price for contributing in the Syrian crisis with the refugee crisis situation.

Now they are also being invaded by the islamic world (covertly ). It's just a matter of time before bombs start going off.

The Saudis are the biggest disgrace of modern military. With all the weapons at their disposal.

No wonder they're scared of Iran

@patches. As the official wester d1ck eater on this thread, I'll like to hear your defense for their failed policies in the war against ISIL.

1) US trained rebels laying down their arms and donating them to al nustra for safe passage.

2) US and EU now shifting towards Russia and Iran (that they vowed never to work with) to help in the fight.

3) ISIL still holding large territories after thousands of air strikes.

The list is endless.
