Of course you are mentally dependent and incapable of independent thought and research. You've proved it with your "Because Baas France have said so" parroting. As if there are only two reports out there.

As if that's not enough proof, you didn't even know anything about satellite tv and that sort of thing, until South Africans showed you. That's why your economy is colonised.

Very mentally enslaved and on the lower rungs of civilisation.

There's just something about the Naai-gerian brain that doesn't "click".

Sixty years plus and what have you done? Gone to war against each other. It's a blöody zoo. Each one wants its own banana!

Look at the workings of your weak military below. They decided to swallow some boko haram bullets and made widows out of your women.

[size=16pt]B.oko H.aram's Deputy Leader And His Father killed In Battle With Nigerian Army[/size]


A key member of the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, Momogu Bama, has been killed by the Joint Task Force in Borno State.

He met his death the same day with his father, Alhaji Abatcha Flatari, described as one of the spiritual leaders of the sect in an operation between the sect members and the JTF operatives in Bama.

Momogu, the second-in-command to the sect’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, had a N25m bounty put on his head by security agencies for information that could lead to his arrest.

The Director of Defence Information, Brig.- Gen Chris Olukolade, who confirmed his killing, described him as a vicious Boko Haram leader who took delight in personally slaughtering the sect’s victims.

He added that Momogu was the expert in charge of mounting anti-aircraft weapons for the sect and coordinating members in Yobe and Adamawa states.

Olukolade said in an electronic mail on Wednesday to one of our correspondents that Momogu was identified by insurgents arrested during one of the recent encounters between the JTF and the insurgents in Bama.

He said, “As troops intensify pursuit of terrorists who have been unleashing mayhem in Borno and Yobe communities, the death of Momogu Bama, said to be the Second-in-Command to Shekau has been confirmed by other arrested terrorists. This followed encounters with the terrorists around the Bama corridor.

“Momogu Bama personally led the attacks against troops and innocent citizens in the communities of Yobe and Adamawa. A specialist in manning the anti-aircraft guns of the group, he is known to be vicious and heartless with a penchant for personally slaughtering and executing victims.

He said the JTF had intensified aerial patrol to secure communities in the two states.

“The troops are continuing the pursuit of the terrorists while intensifying aggressive aerial and land patrols to ensure better security cover for the communities especially in the two states,” he said in the statement.

Meanwhile, eight women may have been arrested in Maiduguri by the JTF operatives for using their veils to conceal guns for insurgents.

A JTF source, who made this known did not say exactly when the women were arrested and the number of guns seized from them.

Give me a break with your boring Biafra civil war rubbish. It is getting really tired. Naai-gerian against Naai-gerian impresses no one.

Also, give me a break with your "we are winning" propaganda. You have even enlisted the help of vigilantes to prove to us how useless the Naai-gerian military is.

The fact of the matter is that your supposedly "wonderful" military is in its own territory, and has all the support of the state apparatus. Notwithstanding that, your supposedly "wonderful" military is being made to cry like babies. They cannot make Boko Haram shiver. They have been shamed by boko haram to the point of lying about their casualties.

Why then should anyone take your 28% failure rate military seriously?

And another thing: you have been telling us about the missions that you are capable of going on in Africa. Well, I have news for you: for as long as Boko Haram is playing you people like a football, there will not be any missions for you. Therefore, Mr Seleka, you are hereby stripped of your military rank and placed at the bottom of the heap.

Go to the "useless" corner and cry with your president.

Nothing like a spinning gorilla.

Your research institute argument was discredited a long time ago and it will be again, desperado. The man simply mentioned Naai-geria because South Africa's participation was already a given. Nothing about rankings there. South Africa still ranks above Naai-geria today. Cry about it.

You wish to believe you've proved a point. Now that you are locked in a cave of death thanks to Boko Haram, you want the thread closed?

Not so fast, Mr Seleka. Naai-geria has no capacity right now. Totally incapacitated. In fact, the research institute article has become dated and is hereby withdrawn... with immediate effect too.

You couldn't go on a mission if Africa paid you billions.

[b]Nigeria: Woman Delivers Monkey-Like Baby in Kaduna
By Midat Joseph, 10 July 2013


The latest assertion to the popular saying, "Wonders never end," has just been recorded in Kaduna State where a young Fulani woman gave birth to a baby with a monkey-like face.

The woman, an indigene of SabonIceh village, gave birth to the monkey-like creature Monday morning at the General hospital Kagarko, Kagarko local government, after several hours of labour.

One of the nurses who attended to the woman on arrival, told LEADERSHIP that, "the pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital at about 7:30 am, Monday. And we immediately took her into the labour room."

"The woman came in through the out-patient department (OPD) after seeing the doctor on call and I decided to rupture her because the cervix was fully dilated. After I ruptured her, fluid measuring about 26 litres gushed out after which she started bleeding. All this time, the baby was still in the womb."

"When the bleeding persisted, I sent for the medical director and when she came, we went into the theatre to operate on the woman. In the process, the baby started coming out with the legs. So, the medical director asked me to stop and allow her to deliver the baby by herself.

Speaking further, the nurse said, "She delivered the baby breech and when it came out, we discovered that it was an abnormal baby. It was half human and half animal. We lost the baby shortly after delivery.

The nurse who spoke on condition of anonymity said the baby weighed four kilograms which is healthy but its legs and ears were like those of a monkey, adding that the mother of the baby is currently receiving treatment at the hospital.

"She lost a lot of blood so we have to give her blood," the nurse added.

we've dealt with this issue before or are new to this thread?

seeing as you don't know how to do research yourself, let me help you a little.

The SA National Defence Force is on the verge of collapse.

[b]With dwindling budgets, an exodus of highly-skilled technical staff and reduced spending on training and equipment, the defence force - according to military experts - can barely meet its constitutional obligations.
Increasing international demands and frequent internal deployments - such as the recent presidential announcement of the deployment of hundreds of troops on crime fighting operations over the next four months - is putting further strain on the already overstretched armed services.

The army has nearly 2000 troops on peacekeeping missions in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan, and military trainers in the Central African Republic and the DRC.

The defence force has military observers deployed under the AU and UN flags in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The navy has a frigate, and air force personnel and aircraft, in the Mozambican channel and Mozambique deployed on anti-piracy operations.

Military analyst Helmoed Heitman said the defence force was now collapsing.

"We have huge sections of the budget spent on salaries, with equipment and training left lacking. We are hopelessly short on manpower - 20000 troops too few - and porous borders that cannot be guarded properly," he said.

"We have pilots who can't fly [sufficient] hours, troops who have been given limits on the amount of ammunition they can use in training, and equipment, such as our frigates, which cannot be maintained because there is no proper budget.

"The defence force is collapsing. If drastic action is not taken soon, in the next three years it will be beyond recovery."

The Defence Department received just over R34-billion last year from the Treasury. Its current budget of R37-billion is expected to increase to R39-billion in the 2013-2014 financial year. Professor Renfrew Christie, dean of research at the University of Western Cape, said the military's budget needed a drastic increase.

"We spend 1% of our gross national product on defence. We need a military capable of looking after our country with the time now coming to increase spending to 2% of GDP," Christie said. "To do our duty, we need a bigger and better equipped military. The option of downscaling our involvement north of our borders is not an option.

"Protecting our country and its borders is far bigger than just putting up fences," he said.

Retired admiral Chris Bennett, the former naval chief of staff, said the massive "poaching" of technical staff had led to numerous crises in the navy.

"Our military, especially on the technical side, is being bled dry by both public and private industries, as well as by foreign militaries.

"Though the navy until now has managed to stay afloat, things are beginning to bite," he said.

"The right funding has not been given to the military [which is] being required more and more by parliament to do things [parliament is] not prepared to pay for.[/b]

The Defence Department received just over R34-billion last year from the Treasury. Its current budget of R37-billion is expected to increase to R39-billion in the 2013-2014 financial year. Professor Renfrew Christie, dean of research at the University of Western Cape, said the military's budget needed a drastic increase.

"We spend 1% of our gross national product on defence. We need a military capable of looking after our country with the time now coming to increase spending to 2% of GDP," Christie said. "To do our duty, we need a bigger and better equipped military. The option of downscaling our involvement north of our borders is not an option.

"Protecting our country and its borders is far bigger than just putting up fences," he said.

Retired admiral Chris Bennett, the former naval chief of staff, said the massive "poaching" of technical staff had led to numerous crises in the navy.

"Our military, especially on the technical side, is being bled dry by both public and private industries, as well as by foreign militaries.

"Though the navy until now has managed to stay afloat, things are beginning to bite," he said.

"The right funding has not been given to the military [which is] being required more and more by parliament to do things [parliament is] not prepared to pay for.[/b]
