MikeZA: UP!!! To the west coast!!!!!.

While Nigeria is still struggling with pirates and terrorists,when you're done securing your land and waters. SA will be sending new SA built OPVs,consolidating our leadership.

Let's get this straight.

Nigeria has Africa's most Robust coastal surveillance system in place. Nigeria has also placed orders for an additional 6 surveillance planes.

Nigeria is not struggling to deal with pirates off our coast, we have effectively managed the issues of Piracy OFF Nigerian waters.

S.A is building no OPV's, you're too broke to carry out any procurements as revealed by your defence minister , plus you have that investigation going on. The only country building a stealth OPV in Africa is Nigeria.

Nigeria remains the only African leader.

MikeZA: Time for Nigeria to take their SBS and SF units for real training in Zimbabwe.

But we know,almost all of them will fail the selection course.

Spoken like a true comedian, you are.

GreenandGold:

Shekau was killed by South African mercenaries... watch, the truth will surface.

You need to check into a mental facility as soon as possible. Very soon, your situation might not be salvageable.

GreenandGold:

You're the one who were complaining about the Kruger profile.

That was because, you decided to take on another personality with that profile. Un-luckily for you, you were apprehended.

US sends medical experts to
study how Nigeria tamed Ebola

Stunned by the entrance of the Ebola Virus Disease,
EVD, into America, the United States’ Center for
Disease Control and Prevention has despatched its
personnel to study how Nigeria contained the killer
disease.

US health officials are expected in Nigeria which it
claimed had the best practices in combating Ebola
Virus disease which entered into Nigeria through
Liberian born American citizen Mr. Patrick Sawyer
whose index case was reported on July 20, 2014.
Nigeria is expected to officially announce today that the remaining two potential Ebola patients will exit
the 21-day observation period.

They are fully aware, like the rest of Africa that Nigeria is the Giant of Africa.

the west should not be trusted.. if anytin Nigeria shouldnt do this for free... And their doctors should be quarantined... we should pay them back for the humiliation we suffered...

The Only thing Cheap here is the SAAF with just 10 Half-french helicopters, and a lack of funds for aviation fuel.

We don't lack funds for aviation fuel

You don't have means to patrol your own region, South Africa (the big brother) will be securing your neighborhood so that you can sleep better.

Lol Nigeria patrolling the Mediterranean with their play-play boats. Let's not even worry about Israel, Turkey, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Greece and others. Who the hell are they?

Observe, the Nigerian Navy patrolling the Mediterranean.

Didn't DoD just give the go head for Denel to produce 238 Badgers?

Didn't the SANDF just award a contract for upgrading SA GDF-005 and 002 guns to be upgraded to Skyshield standard?

China built all your OPVs!! Shut up!!

Here is the evidence of 14 heroes who died in Bangui and @AUGUSTUS if its 50 soldiers show evidence ie: Names, Ranks, Force Number and names of the their families....maybe you know more than South Africans PHOTO 4 ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTERS

Henry120:

Nigeria has lost around 400 troops since the start of this insurgency.

While we lost 0 troops in military campaigns in the DRC.

Henry120:

The Only thing Cheap here is the SAAF with just 10 Half-french helicopters, and a lack of funds for aviation fuel.

It only took 2 of them to expel the M23 out of the DRC.

GreenandGold:

I wanted a 1000 names, don't give me bull.

I gave you 6 Boko Haram names already, you give me 1 or 2 Seleka names and I will give you more Bokos

What a pointless and absurd argument

GreenandGold: ....and abububu stop this thing of posting pictures of deceased humans, its distasteful.

You asked for evidence that Nigerian army killed Boko Haram. I gave it to you.

Be careful what you ask for.

Now give us EVIDENCE of Seleka rebels killed by SANDF, even if it is their funeral will closed coffins.

All the coffins I see are South African soldiers killed by Seleka.

With due respect to the dead, here is my own EVIDENCE...




#ShowUs Names/Coffins Of SelekaKilled By SANDF !!!

You "sound" so angry. Did I hit a nerve? Anyway, it ain't happening. You got no money to afford avation fuel, much less additional military procurements.

First start by purchasing aviation fuel, until then, ZIP it.

GreenandGold:

South-africa's contribution was insignificant in the DRC. The Congolese, Tanzanians and Ukrainian/indian MI-35 pilots did most of the heavy lifting.

I recognised it was you straight up. Perhaps you should be more particoloured.

[citation needed]

We had the biggest troop contribution - with 1345 men deployed out of 3000 men of the FIB
http://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/sandf-troops-deployment-extended

So, who was it who did the heavy lifting?

We have more than enough aviation fuel

patches689:

Oh yes you do.


"South Africa's once-effective air force has new aircraft but cannot afford the fuel and maintenance needed to keep them in the air. Despite this, one element of the air force that did see extensive time in the air was Squadron 21, charged with flying South African VIPs and government ministers. Former defense minister Lindiwe Sisilu booked 203 flights over three years in chartered luxury Gulfstream jets at an estimated cost of $4.5 million."

You deployed most of those men after most of the intense fighting had been tackled by the Tanzanians.

No, you do not.

Still relying on that same source?

The one that has been thouraly discredited?

IF we cannot afford fuel... how did we mount one of the biggest air exercises in Africa?

Saying it over and over doesnt make it true.

Why is this guy still arguing?

The valour class can sail all the way to Lagos and patrol for 1000miles and then sail home all on one tank of gas

Pirate interceptions will be done with helicopters

Valour class can be refueled by the Drakensberg if need be

This guy, he thinks his opinion can change the facts of the matter

Also - you don't have 12 frigate sized ships
Also- at the end he admits that the Nigerian Navy cannot match the SAN in terms of naval warfare

Augubug and his delusions of grandeur

Naval warfare, I will wait till Aradu completes refit, and NNS Centenary arrives, plus the new combat warship from Chinese navy.
Every navy in this world has it's time of re-armament, all South African navy warships were obsolete as at year 2005 until Valour frigate arrived 2006.

Yes again naval warfare? Where is the missile and submarine naval warfare going on if Africa today? The real naval warfare today is anti-piracy operations, South Africa has just realized that, so you decided to join our club after your missiles and submarines had no work to do since almost 10 years ago you bought them.

Anti-piracy is the real threat and according to your sources, South Africa is now feeling threatened because Angola is being attacked by pirates in your backyard. This is a war the mighty Nigerian navy has been fighting for over 10 years now and we are the masters of the game in Africa, no other navy comes close, not even Egypt.....welcome to our world where we have the perfect equipment and perfect experience, South African navy is the new baby that needs to learn how to walk now

Nope, helicopters are NOT maritime ocean interceptors, they are only for airborne insertion of troops when you catch the pirate.

Range of the Super Lynx on your frigate is only about 528 km, when you carry troops load, the range reduces by payload, then your helicopter needs fuel to return to your ship or it will drop dead into the sea with empty fuel tank. Means your helicopter cannot chase pirate beyond 200km range away from your ship landing pad ! How do you catch a pirate Angola informs you to be 500km away from where your frigate is ? Or you think pirates sail beside your ship so that when you need them you can catch them?

Drakensberg itself has only 15,000 km range and needs 10,000 km minimum to travel from Cape Town to Lagos, it must NOT leave that straight line route or else it will lose more fuel by trying to stay close to your frigates that are patrolling around in circles, you don't do maritime patrol in a straight line like your police do on the streets of Soweto, the sea is a massive area of 5 million square kilometers from Namibia to West Africa !

Drakensberg is pumping fuel to your frigate, she herself has to stay at sea for many days to give support, she needs fuel too and she will be pumping from storage tank to feed herself, how much fuel is in that supply tank? Does your Drakensberg ship carry an Oil Refinery on board? Give us details, I have given details of range of Nigerian ships and fast crafts, tell us how much fuel is in the 'Unlimited Oil Refinery' that you carry on your Drakensberg supply ship, facts and figures please

South African navy will regularly beg for diesel, not only in Angola, but also in Ghana and Nigeria !!

Nigeria has about 12 Frigate/Corvette sized ships that is what I said, not only frigates, buy corvette sized ships too, some ordered or received already. We saw the Corvette sizers in this years Exercise Obaganme sailing with Chinese navy in Lagos operations. Here is a list of 17 ships, not gunboats, I mean SHIPS !

NNS Thunder
NNS Okpabana
NNS Centenary I
NNS Centenary II
NNS Siri
NNS Ohue
NNS Erinomi
NNS Ekun
NNS Barama
NNS Anyam
NNS Damisa
NNS Ekpe
NNS Kyanwa
NNS Ologbo
NNS Nwamba
NNS Obula


I left out NNS Aradu until her refit is completed this year. That will be number 18 ship.

Nigeria has cloud penetrating satellites and long range ATR-42 Surveyors that can see the whole Gulf Of Guinea in 45 minutes, and NNS Thunder and NNS Okpabana have sea search radars with surveillance range of 500km. The radar on Valour frigate is only about 180km range, so how will you ever locate a pirate that Angola or Namibia radios to you to be 400km away from your shiny Valour frigate now turned into OPV overnight ?
