The Dogs of War giving good account of themselves once again in the brush wars of Africa.


"Relentless Pursuit" is a concept I just love. It brings to mind a pack of hungry lions closing in methodically on a weakened herd of fleeing antelope, picking off the stragglers as they move, yet never stopping the assault until the last of the fleeing beasts is dead on its back, with its lifeless hooves pointing skyward in final surrender.

So now we know what happened to the founders of the mercenary group Executive Outcomes. They never went away, and they refused to die, in order that they continue roaming the African bush, looking for a fight and finding one in which to draw terrorist blood once again.

Yeeeeeeeeehaw ! The only thing more deadly than a young mercenary fighter is an OLD mercenary fighter, and if you doubt this truism, ask the few Boko Haram terrorists who miraculously survived that relentless pursuit, and all the other dirty tricks up the sleeve of those grizzled old warriors-for-hire.

Are you a poet? I enjoyed reading this.

Social media just helped these girls sign with Beyoncé
Three talented teenage girls were given an opportunity many aspiring artists dream of — and it’s thanks to the Queen Bey.

Siblings Chloe (17) and Halle Bailey (15) and another teen Sophie Beem were all
offered multiyear contracts for Beyoncé’s management company, Parkwood Entertainment, as reported by the New York Daily News.

Based on their contract, the Bailey sisters could bring in up to $1 million in advances if they record six or more albums for Parkwood.

The neo-colonial revisionists were always going to come, weren't they? The find it odd, certainly repulsive that a black nation should be portrayed being able to solve its own security problems without 'help' from the West. It is odd, reprehensible and certainly a wide deviation from the single-story of African nations being able to solve its own problems. And then they spin beautiful lies- this time, a spurious claim of white mercenaries coming as divine commandos to solve the problem of the black man.

Nothing can be further from the truth. And don't tel me South Africans are still Africans. There's a reason why this writer uses the 'white' South African construct. A reason which is as old as colonialism itself. The distinction, the classification, them vs us; the differentness, one side the helper and the other side, the helpless.

We see through that veil. Easily.

This is as malicious and spurious as it can get. In the first instance, why would South Africa allow such to happen- South Africa which is in diplomatic animosity with Nigeria? South Africa that botched Nigeria's attempt- not once but twice- to purchase arms from its country? This clearly does not make sense. And if the mercenaries were covert, why did South Africa not expose these practice- as it did for the $9.3m black market arms purchase that Nigeria attempted?

It was weapons that prevented Nigeria from winning the war and certain internal infractions she had. The weapons eventually came from Russia and China and at that time, the successful advances began by the Nigeria military and its West African multinational partners. Not the neo-colonial hogwash of 'white mercenaries'. Unsurprisingly, no one residing in the affected areas of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa State have seen these mercenaries. Are these 'mercenaries' also ghosts?

We seem to forget that it was the Nigerian military that won the war in Liberia; that won the war in Sierra Leone; it was a Nigerian lead battalion that saved the Americans in the hands of the hardened Somalia militia in Mogadishu after their two Blackhawks were shot down. It was the Nigerian military that sent the largest battalion of troops to neighbouring Mali which was being overrun by tribal terrorists, before the French came. Anyone conversant with the truth knows this. Hands off, revisionists from our history. We can tell our stories by ourselves.

And the lies never end.

After LYING to the nation that the recent successes against Boko Haram were from a renewed re-arming and retooling of our local forces and that the mercenaries were only here to train our troops in operating the new hardware, one can now see that much of the equipment is not Nigerian owned, the more effective attacks are spearheaded by these temporary forces and that the Presidency and Army LIED to Nigerians.

MEanwhile, Chadian forces are routing Boko Haram without any external help, with their own helicopters, APCs and weaponry.

We have been fighting Boko Haram for years now and still see how this MErc commander is opening our yansh in public that our troops were truly poorly armed and poorly motivated. Even the 'commando' groups set up by this administration could not achieve this success!

Buhari was right...we have been made a laughing stock indeed.

Also shows the LIES this administration was spewing about the purpose of the plane sent to SOuth Africa. It wasn't sent on an arms deal...it was sent to woo mercenaries to fight Boko Haram.

Hmmmm........ sometime ago millions of dollars on a private jet was seized by South Africa.... FG claimed it was to buy arms. Was it really to pay these mercenaries? Whatever the case...they have done well. US does the same....but their mercenaries are called "contractors".
Re: South African Mercenaries' Secret War On Boko Haram by Kingkamal(m): 9:40am On May 12, 2015
That is why Buhari said Boko Haram is a fraud.. you hire a commander from south Africa. As contract SMH* the whole story it's even a lies I don't even want to believe it. Because the mastermind of Boko Haram is GEJ I said it and I repeat it and we stand by OBJ's words.
That's all. GEJ don't decieve yourself you can't kill innocent people and go free.
That's why you are clueless because you think your covert operation is tactical.

For your information good sir, Mr. Boko Hari had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the engagement of those deadly South African mercenaries, and furthermore, Nigeria's new Seriki RULER may take the foolhardy step of asking those highly effective mercs to leave Nigeria, even though the terror gang remains a credible threat that may still give the Nigerian military a run for its money in the coming months and possibly years.

Read my signature. There are none so blind as they who will not see.
You are so desperate to paint a picture of a white racist conspiracy against Nigeria that you have switched off your common sense. The person giving a talk is the head of the Private military company, and he's a well known figure.
Chad - a black nation - routed islamists in Mali and are routing BH in Borno State. Why is no-one insisting that France is helping them?

You are hopelessly naive if you truly believe the standard process of buying weapons from a sovereign nation is to illegally smuggle in $7m into a country. What can $7m buy? It can barely cover a 2nd hand Assault helicopter.
This article should tell even one such as yourself that that money was meant for payment to the mercenaries for their efforts.

No. These weapons are most likely the 'loaner' weapons the foreign mercs brought with them, which will leave Naija as soon as their contract ends. The $1bn Jonathan applied to borrow has largely not been spent.
What stopped Nigeria from getting these weapons from Russia and China in 2012?

We seem to forget that it was the Nigerian military that won the war in Liberia; that won the war in Sierra Leone; it was a Nigerian lead battalion that saved the Americans in the hands of the hardened Somalia militia in Mogadishu after their two Blackhawks were shot down.

It is also the Nigerian military that was being overrrun by Boko Haram in Borno, often being chased out of their barracks and harried into Cameroon and Niger. It is entirely m0r0nic to try to make points in this manner when we have recent histories of failures to secure our own people within our own borders.
BH had control of 12 LGAs in the North by Q4 last year. Let that sink in.

Actually, YOU are the revisionist here. The Nigerian troops were used mainly as support, and sources say the troops sent were in shocking condition. Chad is the country being given the most credit for the 'boots-on-ground' rout of the islamists in Mali.

Good job! I don't care what human rights and whatever group is ranting. Whether private military or semi-public or whatever, the goodnews is that for a while now, innocent lives have not been cut short senselessly. The bombs have reduced and soon, hopefully, the country will be free from this menace.

The terrorist can invite them again so he can grant them amnesty. Until then, I am in a grateful mood

Way to miss the point.

Eben Barlow makes it clear that BH is not yet destroyed, just defeated. We needed a sustainable solution for the future struggle. Can you continue paying mercs hundreds of millions of dollars with this economy, instead of investing in re-arming, motivating and training your own troops?

Good thing to kill Boko Haram, but let's ensure we get that done with our own boys and our weapons.

You said it all. I find this article rather mischevious. The west hate Africa so much that they will do anything to potray Africa and the black race in particular as sub humans unable to solve their own calamities. Calamities they (the west) invented, funded and armed for evil purposes through covert operations.
