Donian007: Hmmm, good to know you've spent lots of quality time with Nigerian books.

The boy doesn't know that he is exhibiting his greatest fascination about Nigeria's power to educate and enlighten South African dull brains! If Prof. Chinua Achebe with his Nigerian education didn't write that book ... who knows where this SA and it's people would have been in terms of the mental oppression received at the hands of their minority rulers?

I can't count how many times CraigB has unsuccessfully thrown-in the name Okonkwo just to score desperate points. Nonetheless, Okonkwo will remain the only character the resonates across Africa's people who had to fight-off mental and socio-economic colonisation and oppression by early European adventurers. I can bet that "Things Fall Apart" and it's main character must have dealt CraigB's brain some good personal lessons.

Just as well that this is your last post on this. You are hapless. You took on an argument that you failed to sustain. Throwing phrases like "not entirely true" around and failing to back them up.

Your "last post" remains irrelevant, just like your whole argument.

The point is that our South African system is trusted. Naai-geria's system is NOT.

___

Regarding your irrelevant point: It's not as if the 98% percent Naai-gerians that fail WAEC don't have to keep going back grin

And then in addition to that, they still have to bridge, because they have been graded by a system the rigour of which is in doubt.

What a waste of my time.
Hmm! Been watching calmly. Good to know that this your new Nigerian "98%" debacle is just in a bid to console yourself out of the shameful SA's "33%" Naijapikingidi reavealed. HMMM! SMHM!

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.
there's a difference between Strongest military and Most Influencial.don't mix them up.
Yeah,Egypt is probably the strongest despite less participation in african affairs and strong alliance to the arab-world.
Its miltatry strenght outweighs that of its other african contenders.
On the issue of most Influencial,No need to go far,Nigeria takes the league,only of recent is South Africa joining the bloc.throughout History till date,Nigerian Military will always be recognised to be influencial on african peace.

Egypt must convince us about their military might. South Africa go as far as North Africa, West Africa and Central Africa regardless of whether they lose their men or not. They have even gone to an extent of challenging France to their colonial territory without any fear of losing their men. South Africa had even envisaged a deployment to Mali when Nigeria was taking too long.

"AHRLAC
claimed by its designers to be the first fully
indigenous fixed-wing military aircraft
developed in Africa,[2] and the first
indigenous South African military aircraft of
any sort since the Denel Rooivalk,[3] the
Ahrlac features a twin-boom, high-wing,
single-pusher-engine configuration, using a
Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprop
engine, with a crew of two seated in tandem
in Martin-Baker ejection seats. The Ahrlac's
airframe uses a mixture of metal and
composite construction, and is designed to
provide maximum visibility for its crew.[4]
The aircraft is designed to carry an internal
20 mm cannon, with 4 or 6 hardpoints for
carrying weapons mounted under the wings,
including rocket pods, unguided bombs, and
both air-to-surface and air-to-air missiles. The
lower fuselage consists of a variety of
interchangeable conformal modular units
fitted with a variety of sensor systems such
as infrared and optical cameras, synthetic
aperture radar, electronic intelligence
gathering and electronic warfare equipment." GET IT?

That's a fact. SA is becoming a military power of Africa by any day. That's what military power should become. America is regarded as world military power today because they mingle in any conflict anywhere in the world where they have interest and have lost many men in between. America has lost many men in Iraq and have even generally lost against Saddam Hussaine on one on one battle, but still that did not draw them back from their mission of conquering the world.

Here's the thing if a country can't produce its own weapons,it is doomed to be defeated in a "country to country warfare". And Nigeria is one of this countries.

Just imagine how this stup.id no brain Thokoza id.iot thinks that America is South Africa because a German gun is on the mount of an American tank. South Africans are dead from the mind of trampled vegetables with their raw uneducation. And now they want to align their incognitive inabilities to the American level.

Lowestness? must be the new English word in the South African education syllabus?

You are minus one (-1) for South Africa's human capital development/growth efforts. Should you be wasting any more oxygen?

Lowestness is what we call slang. It is ofcourse not a formal English and any English speaking chap would understand my gesture. I have studied my English in first language in one of the former white only schools. So, go and bury your tiny Nigerian brain in your stinking and sticky pepper soup.

It doesn't matter whether we are being killed or not. Forward is where we go, Asijiki, Siya phambili. It doesn't matter how many of our men fall. America has also lost many men on their mission, yet they keep on thrusting forward.

so after all this blabbing, why did you chicken out from invading CAR? you think military power is about just building guns and bombs? it's about having the guts and tactical skills to use those guns you dumbo. Something SANDF lacks.

imagine them shooting kids passing by that wanted to test them and claiming to be involved in a fight clearly between DRC army and M23. something they were sent there to do in the first place. cowards.

Nobody bothers if you are being killed or not. Armies get killed in any battle! The point is ... that your SANDF shows up on a tour/visit to another country is not something any army cannot do! Mentioning North, West, East and South of Africa doesn't mean SANDF fought any wars that brought peace or liberation here, there or anywhere!

Seleka was your first test case, and we are witnesses to how your SANDF "Usen Bolt-ed" fast-fast out of CAR!!
