You are terminated and just swallow your pride with your tail between your legs and crawl back to that hole you call Nigeria.

NaijaPikinGidi:

You said Gun? Can the tank drive/move in optimal speed and ruggedness without the gun? YES!! Can the American's up-armour the tank with any other American gun of their choice? YES!!

Therefore the tank is American through and through in SOUL and POWER!!

Msauza:

Rooivalk always had its original engine built by South Africans, but the engine was not that powerful to the level they hoped for. So, to save time for yet another tiring project and costs, they had to collaborate with french company which were already specialist of Aerospace to upgrade their engine parts. So what is your argument? Bwahahahahaha!!

Msauza:

So, how useful will it be without a gun? It will just become a lion without teeth or just a family car built with iron and steel.

NaijaPikinGidi:

I have made all my points! Nothing in your new rambling that is worth furher debate. I will not be tempted ... simple Wisdom!!

Enjoy your cranial turmoil or bliss ... whichever you prefer!

Msauza:

You are beaten at every level and reduced to your Nigerian self. You are just down and out, stand up and dust yourself from the blow you suffered at hands of South Africans.

Msauza:

The military power of Egypt is diminishing by bits, besides they do not play any major role in assuming that status in Africa. That military power reside within themselves because they do not contribute in bringing peace in Africa.

Colonel General Adbul Al-sisi proved that Egypt's army deals with political issues. I will respect Egypt's army the day they on and destroy the Israelis in a tank battle,besides it would the greatest modern tank battle. The Abrams vs the Merkeva main battle tank.

A tank is useless without its main gun. And can South Africa produced a engine for the Rooivalk?[YES]. You know nothing about military stuff,your posts show how ignorant you're.

Hosni Mubarak fell due to popular citizen demand and the military stayed on the side of the people. Mursi has fallen in the same way. How does that show ill-discipline in the rank and file of the Egyptian army? There is no democracy without the military! The military's role has largely been to avert total anarchy and collapse of the Egyptian nation ... from that perpective they acted to keep Egypt together without being direct beneficiaries of the act.

So much for your needless respect. Egypt have DONE actual battle with Isreal even though they last. Until SANDF can merely DREAM UP a battle with Isreal, talkless of Egypt ... Egypt remains No. 1 ... numero uno!!

Muhammed Morsi was toppled by the military. And Hosni Mubarak was not toppled,he voluntarily stepped down. Regarding the Yom Kippur war Egypt rushed their tanks cross the canal,only to be stopped and crashed. Remind you,Egypt's main battle tanks had night vision capability(the T-62 to be specific). While Israelis had to use night vision binoculars to find the enemy's tanks. The only war Egypt has won,was that little Skirmish against Libya.

See below - and I'm still waiting to hear which part was untrue. Point me to that, bearing in mind that my statement was simply that South Africans don't have to bridge and Naai-gerians do.

So please. Show me the untruth.

NaijaPikinGidi:

Newcomer!! As a longtime silent observer and eventually a signed-up Nairaland member, I predate your arrival on this thread ... so just keep the tantrums to yourself! My knowledge of military stuff is not what I need to, or have to flaunt here!! I know what I know. However, until you put in a South African made engine to those crafts ... you are basically wasting daylight thinking it is even 33% South African.

Obviously, a tank is useless without its gun but more useless as a stationary object! Point is, America has the capacity and has continuously shown the capacity to invent, arm, up-arm, or upgrade its arsenal with purely American built guns and components! It is a given fact of global military knowledge.

The other fact is that the rooivalk will not and cannot move anywhere without its French engine! Any attempt at firing its guns from the lame flightless metal contraption will end up with destruction to South African lives and property. Enough said!

NaijaPikinGidi:

South Africans don't have to bridge, yet they cannot cross the bridge! Not even 2% of your high school matriculants can dare score enough to gain admission to UK universities!

For whatever restrictive reasons, Nigerians are required to bridge, yet they cross the bridge and go ahead to shatter records and set the academic pace over and above British students?

Tempting temptation ... that's what this situation presents!!

Merits or demerits of Morsi's removal should be left to diplomats and politicians to ponder upon! Nigeria already made its diplomatic position clear ... Morsi's removal is undemocratic! So please don't start digressing! Point made is ... Egypt is currently Strongest Military in Africa and they are disciplined to the core and capable of waging sustained wars successfully with most African countries.

Do you remember,when Muammar Gaddafi sent his commandos to Uganda to fight Tanzania and some rebel forces,During Uganda's liberation war?. I'm asking you this cause you will remember that armies who were trained to fight in the desert,can't fight in the sub-Saharan Africa. Regarding how disciplined Egypt is,I think any army that get involved in political issues is ill disciplined,did you know Egypt's army sells consuming goods?

BCraig:

Yes - you're all just like Okonkwo from "Things Fall Apart". You act and speak like him. Achebe clearly understood the typical Naai-gerian.

_____


Okonkwo is a self-made, well-respected member of the Umuofia clan. Though outwardly stern and powerful, much of his life is dictated by internal fear. His greatest, overwhelming worry is that he will become like his father – lazy, unable to support his family, and cowardly. Okonkwo considers many of his father’s characteristics to be feminine. Much of Okonkwo’s behavior results from a reactionary desire to be completely unlike his father. This means that Okonkwo attempts to work hard, provide for his family materially, be brave, and be masculine in every possible way. As a result, Okonkwo’s becomes successful in many ways – he becomes very wealthy, holds a high-ranked position in the community, has three wives, and is known for his skill as a wrestler and warrior. But he also tends toward emotions that are extreme, and his fear motivates him to take actions which are often unnecessary and ultimately destructive. His fear of being feminine leads him to assist in the murder of Ikemefuna whom he loved, to beat his wives, be emotionally distant from his children, and to disown his oldest son.

As an uncompromising man’s man, Okonkwo’s relationship towards his family is one of complete dictatorship. His three wives are there to serve him his food and raise his children. By seeing them as his subjects, Okonkwo can justify his brutal behavior against them. He can beat his wives without guilt. He can threaten Ekwefi with a gun when she talks back. He can rebuke Nwoye for listening to old wives’ tales. This sense of ownership is exemplified when Okonkwo takes Ikemefuna’s life. Though he does have qualms about killing Ikemefuna, they are not qualms about whether or not he has the right to do it. Okonkwo feels complete ownership over his family.

There is, however, the problem of love and intimacy. Okonkwo rarely shows these aspects of himself since he considers emotion soft and feminine – but the emotions are there nonetheless. The fact that he lies to Ikemefuna to protect the boy from fear and later feels guilty about killing him are proof of that Okonkwo isn’t devoid of positive human emotions. But, whenever there is a clash between showing true emotion and maintaining the show of his strength, Okonkwo will always go with the latter.

Okonkwo tries to follow the laws of the clan. Whenever he breaks them – either deliberately through a loss of temper or inadvertently as in shooting the boy – he never questions the punishments brought upon him. Okonkwo abides by his punishment whether or not he thinks they are fair. This is one way of maintaining his honor and reputation. He reads the laws literally, unlike his father who bent the rules and tried to circumvent certain aspects of the law.

Thus we come to one of the central conflicts in the novel: the divide between Okonkwo’s personal pride and the actions forced on him by the external social laws of the Umuofia. His final act of suicide is the ultimate demonstration of things falling apart because it is the first and only time that Okonkwo purposefully and calculatedly breaks the clan laws. As a character, Okonkwo remains pretty consistent throughout the book. We see no sudden changes in behavior or mindset; in fact, that may be Okonkwo’s problem – his inability to adapt or compromise his ethics to changing situations that call for more tolerance or compassion. Okonkwo, whose sense of pride and dignity continues until the end, chooses to live and die on his own terms rather than submit to the white man. For Okonkwo, giving in would be against so much of what he has stood for – courage, tradition, and manliness.

BCraig: Call for ICC probe into Naai-gerian murderous military.


http://www.irinnews.org/report/98426/call-for-icc-probe-into-nigerian-military



DAKAR, 16 July 2013 (IRIN) - As Nigeria attempts a ceasefire with militant Islamist group Boko Haram (BH), analysts warn against a blanket amnesty and urge that an expanded International Criminal Court (ICC) probe include alleged abuses by the military.

The ceasefire is being negotiated by a government panel set up to develop an amnesty for BH, but details as to when the truce will be signed, whether all the BH factions have agreed to it, or if the amnesty has played a role in the planned ceasefire, remain sketchy.

NaijaPikinGidi:

Will the same logic apply to your SANDF not trained in desert or jungle warfare? And would that not be the very reason whey Nigeria's army are a balanced and top African military force?

Your thoughts do not matter as long as the Egyptians are concerned. The Egyptiam military had a difficult call to make in the face of looming anarchy ... now that is discipline!! The ability to give and follow military orders in the overall interest of nationhood and national security. They did not retain power hence strictly doing the bid of majority of their citizens.
