Go ask the thousands of d.ead Boko Haram fighters and their leader Shekau when Nigerian commandoes entered inside his forest camp and sent him on a journey to the land of no return.

Nigerian army has both physical and equipment firepower, we have both !

Nigerian infantry has as many machine guns as AK-47. We produce locally, we carry more than 150 bullets...

Count those chain belt bullets if you can....

It is only hunger and poverty that I can see in the faces of those soldiers.

NaijaPikinGidi: So far, the Government and people of Nigeria and the gallant NA have stood firm in the onslaught against the BH insurgents, yet on the flipside it is funny to see how our faint Hearted South Africans are panicking and getting desperately paranoid everyday over Boko Haram's imagined presence in South Africa. It makes me wonder what manner of wimps you have for leaders and military men! Funny how you now agree with the NA ... that BH are faceless and not easy to identify becauuse they live amongst normal citizens!

Good to know that the SA government and their weak SANDF are learning a lot from the priceless experience/expertise of our intelligence/security/military formations.

If your SANDF are up to scratch, I see no reason why you South Africans should panic over something the NA is creditably dealing with.

South Africans should not be surprised if Boko Haram splinter groups are operating in the country, Deputy International Relations Minister Luwellyn Landers said on Wednesday.

While there was no proof the militant group was operational in South Africa, he was concerned and said, "That has to be a concern for anybody and we shouldn't be surprised if they are here."

"Someone who does a lot of work in Africa said to me it's very difficult to pinpoint just who belongs to Boko Haram because they have succeeded in integrating in every community they seek to be part of."

[...]

"They don't go around wearing specific colours or overalls or logos, so you'll never know that the person sitting next to you is a member of Boko Haram. That's how effective they've become," Landers said.

Stupi.d that cannot understand what was the minister refering to. The minister was merely seeking SA attention on the issue of Boko Haram that it affect us all. The minister sought SA involvement in helping Nigeria, that's all.

Meanwhile, SA churches have been praying for the people of Northeast Nigeria whose military has been critisized by the world to be weak and coward.

My brother if you don't understand south African way of communicating please stop your insults,since you are clueless on what the minister is saying,let me help you

in simpler terms the minister is saying that it is high time now to scrutinize every person coming to SA especially Nigerians

boko haram will never be SA problem,the only concern is we don't want to harbor criminals here therefore the government of Nigeria should bare with SA when strict rules are applied on Nigerians...

Those ones are the highest paid military in Africa. Fact!!! That's why they are motivated every step of the way, knowing well that the government has placed a hefty price tag on every lives lost. Their families won't have to struggle once they are gone.

With regard to the field, SA is the only country in Africa that has a battle school where they simulate war tactics with real weapons.

The dead bodies are that of your military men stupi.d. The source of that image from Nigeria has since been removed from the net. Believe it or not. BH does not have a complete gear on their fatique. Some of them do not even put on boots, water bottle, battle jacket, chest web, etc. They generally do not look as standard, professional and uniform as those soldiers lying there. Take a closer look.

It doesn't matter, facts shall always remain even when revised. Arandu remains afloat but is inoperable. It cannot fire missiles.

In service =/= operational

Nigeria has no operational sea-worthy missile armed warship

btw, I am not even going to bother laughing at your ludicrous FH-77B argument (you have changed your story again, now you admit Nigeria does not have the FH-77 B05 L52)

7km range Recoiless anti-tank rifles

1km range Gustav anti-armour rifles

3km range Dshk heavy calibre machine guns that pierce armoured vehicles

9km range 120mm mortar

5km range 81mm mortar

2km range machine guns mixed with AK-47 rifles for almost every four soldiers, we don't depend on AK-47 alone.

1km range Knee mortar/grenade launcher made in Nigeria.

Nigerian army 130,000 men Vs South African army 50,000 men.

Nigerian soldiers will surround South Africa's entire army on the battlefield and choke them up in the middle.

There is NOTHING in South African infantry arsenal that Nigeria does not have an equal answer.

Dude, let this be the last time we repeat this old story. This forum should find other topics to discuss.

You have no knee morars in common service

Do you want to compare weapons? Ours are superior.

Swingfire v Milan AD
SA-7 v Starstreak

ect etc etc everything

a.k.a Old v New

You also confirm that you have limited section and platoon weapons (no 60mm mortars, no marksmen rifles etc etc).

You also confirm that you have no AGLs or MGL's

Your lies look too cheap, can't you do better than this? LOL.

99% of Nigerian army in Boko war wear north desert camp uniforms, those ones in your photo are dead Bokos with south jungle camp uniforms. Also all Nigerian soldiers go into battle with helmets, those bodies have none. All Nigerian soldiers have name tags on chest and Nigerian flag ss logo on uniform, those dead bodies have none. Mister man don't let your commandant in South Africa see your thinking level here, you will be demoted to next lower rank.

AugustineAgain:

Bring your Valour frigates to make noise in Nigerian EEZ and see if Aradu will not sink them.

Bofors artillery, I still stand by the 3 sources, Nigeria has all the 3 versions ....FH-77A, FH-77B, FH-77 B0 L52.

I just noticed that most sources from India and SIPRI of Sweden mostly mention FH-77B in service.

Then I proved to you that even the older B version was firing to range over 35 km in 1999 Kargil war before B0 L52 upgrade was done some years later.

I also proved that India says FH-77B can fire up to range 43 km, so if you have problem with that, go punch the Indian army officer in the nose because you are butt-hurt.

What you fail to realise is that no one beleives your argument.

Respectable sources (ie: SIPRI) all list nigerian arty as FH-77B

All respectable sources list range of FH-77B as being around 30km

Ammunition in the Swedish Army order included the locally developed HEER projectile, developed to meet the requirements of the Indian Army which, when used with charge 9, has a range of 30,000 m. HEER-BB (High Explosive Extended-Range - Base Bleed) was included in the order and the FH-77B could also use ammunition already stockpiled by the Swedish Army.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html

The gun has a range of 30 km, it can fire 3 rounds within 13 s and a has sustained rate of fire of 8 rounds/minute.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/fh-77.htm

Only the FH77 B05 L52 has a range of over 40km with standard BB ammunition

The FH-77 B05 L52 enables a range of 40 plus km to be achieved with standard base bleed projectiles. It is fitted with an integrated navigation, positioning and aligning system and onboard ballistic computation.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html

Nigeria does not have the FH-77 B05 L52, it never has and never will.

Why is this so? Why will nigeria never ever have the FH-77 B05 L52?

[size=15pt]BECAUSE ONLY TWO FH-77 B05 L52 WERE EVER BUILT[/size]

The now BAE Systems Bofors has upgraded two examples of the FH-77B 39 calibre with a 155 mm/52 calibre ordnance and this is designated the FH-77 B05 L52. They were successfully demonstrated in India in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. As of early 2008 no production contracts had been awarded by India for any 155 mm artillery systems.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html

India chose the DRDO instead of the FH-77 B05 L52
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRDO_155_mm_artillery_gun

There was no upgrade you silly Arrow

Nigerian FH77 (regardless of class) only have a 30km range if they some-how got their hands on advanced swedish HEER ammunition. In [size=15pt]reality[/size] the Nigerian FH77B only has a range of around 20km

HE M107, the standard NATO 155 mm howitzer projectile weighing 42.91 kg. It can be fired to a range of approximately 19,000 m.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html

This makes sense as all Nigerian artillery only has a range of 20-25km.

You are just making a fool of yourself at this point.

Bring your Valour frigates to make noise in Nigerian EEZ and see if Aradu will not sink them.

Its not operational, so it couldent sink a rubber duck.
