EVarn:let us all hope it is the first. Cus the second is dangerous although his refusal to share intelligence with other members of the task force is also a big problem. A problem that may have led to the capture of a FOB |

agaugust: What load shedding you tick? I experienced no load shedding since November.... and it doesn't affect everyone, the 2hours cut off at residentials can happen while you at work and then the CBD cut happens while you're home... it doesn't affect everyone. Meanwhile in Nigeria, 130 million Nigerian mumus are on permanent load shedding 2 Likes 1 Share

Follow link for video http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/15/africa/nigeria-military-families-boko-haram/ Nigerian military disorganized, under-equipped in battle against Boko Haram We knew that already. ||||||||| A mile or so from his base, I meet a soldier on a remote windswept hill. He is a veteran of African Union and United Nations peacekeeping missions in Liberia and Sudan, a professional soldier. We sit on plastic chairs as he tells me his story. He, too, was left on the battlefield by his comrades as they fled for safety in the face of a Boko Haram attack. He doesn't blame them. "The major problem the soldiers have is they don't have the equipment to fight," he says. Boko Haram has anti-aircraft guns, which he says are accurate up to three-quarters of a mile. All the Nigerian military has, he says, are AK47 small machine guns, accurate up to a few hundred meters. Often the Nigerian soldiers are given only 60 bullets each, so they quickly run out. Boko Haram, he says, has large supplies of ammunition and more fighters. Although the Nigerian soldiers do win some fights, he says they are regularly forced to turn tail and run for their lives by the sheer volume of gunfire from Boko Haram fighters. It took him three days -- on foot, alone -- to get back to his base, 70 kilometers away. When he arrived, his wife told him to quit the army, but his troubles were only just beginning. Army medics refused to pay the $200 for medicine to treat his injuries. Morale in the army is sinking, he says. That night, I meet a young officer, who, like the other soldier, is not authorized to talk to me. Our conversation is held in a hurry in a tiny darkened hut that sells biscuits and fizzy drinks at a roundabout on the outskirts of a town. Corruption, he tells me, is the root of the Nigerian military's problem. "Not just the generals... everybody in the country wants to get rich by any means necessary," he says. The soldiers don't ever benefit from the billions allocated to the defense budget, he explains. He even had to buy his own uniform. "The troop morale is actually very low, very low, because we are not issued a uniform, we buy the uniforms ourselves," he explained. The other soldier I met on the hill told me this, too. When they go into battle, no one has the same uniform, so when they run from Boko Haram it's chaos. They don't know who is friend or foe -- whom to shoot and whom to help. Most soldiers live in fear, the young officer tells me. A fear of what will happen to them, and how long they can survive in this battle, he says. The worrying doesn't stop there. They see enough war widows on the base to know the grim reality of what can happen to their loved ones if they die. A widow I meet explains. Her husband was killed in battle over a year ago, she tells me. "When my husband died, they never called me to tell me that I lost my husband," she says. "They buried him without notifying me." She gets no army pension, and she says there are many more like her: they feel abandoned, afraid to speak out because they still live in the barracks. Government officials tell us they will look into these shortcomings, that they are working on getting better weapons for the troops. If they do, according to the soldiers I met, it will easily turn the tide in this war. 1 Like |

Patchesagain: You can also ask me to show you photos of the whole of America's nuclear arsenal so you can be happy. Fool ! I owe you no further photos, all you asked for is my gun and uniform, I posted it, so that's all you will ever get. No Southie can command me to do his wish or order me around, get it ? If not, go drink sulphuric acid concentrated formula. Patchesagain: Have you and all other South Africans on nairaland posted proof of your private lives and personal identity on this public internet forum ? You asked like a hungry man my gun and uniform, I have shocked you with it. Now you want me to post my credit card photo on internet for a scammer 419 fraudster thief like you to spy name/number and go clone it to steal my money. You could as well ask me to post my n..u..d..e photos here with my face so you can go sell to some homos in Soweto as g.ay p.orn Smooth Criminal ! . |
