Yet, they have never been properly trained to fight guerrilla warfare.

Nigerian army has domestic COIN school that trains anti-guerrilla desert and mountain soldiers. Our NA officers and men do COIN training in Pakistan, Israel, Russia, and Sri Lanka. A new 5,000 man special anti insurgency brigade was formed last year and is training with the best equipment in the world, do you know why we ordered 5,000 Beryl Polish Assault rifles and follow up order another 10,000 units of Beryl?

Keep swimming in your ignorance.

FighterPilot:


Surely, you don't know how load shedding works. Even with candles we are still far better of Nigerian nation that lives in a permanent blackout.

How did Nigeria build Africa's biggest economy by living on permanent blackout?

FighterPilot:
SA produces 45 000 MW of electricity and that is not a lie it is a fact. Yet, that magnitude of power grid seems to be too small for the whole country.

You generate more than you can transmit, so how do you hope to supply electricity consumers, by wireless transmission? You must be world class fools, no wonder the Boer white man never wanted to hand over power to you blacks and coloured drunkards, you have ruined South Africa !
.

FighterPilot:


FIRE IS DANGER, ESPECIALLY PARAFIN OR OIL LAMPS.

We have rechargeable light bulb that we use instead of incandescent light bulb which charges while in use and can be used for days some you can even use them for up to 7 days. Yet, that will only have to be used for maximum of 4 hours when there is lights off. But, really like I said load shedding does not happen more often. The last time when my lights went off was last week Thursday from 08H00 to 11H00 and since then I have never had lights off.

Why would there ever be a citation for people buying light bulbs. It would just be the same like asking for a citation for confirmation of if husbands are really having sexx with their wives at night or not. Rechargeable light bulbs are sold at many SA stores and shops country wide and many people are buying them out of stock everyday.

What rubbish.

Feel free to flip the numbers and look at CONSUMPTION. You can't consume without transmission. And only a f0ol would think that operators would incur the cost of generating power knowing full well it won't be used. You do know that generating power costs money, don't you?

Anyway, Nigeria consumes 148.93 kwH per capita
South Africa consumes 4771.27 kwH

Video of plenty AK-47 and a few rusty mortars that Boko purchased from black market....lethal weapons? I thought Boko displayed T-72 tank or BTR-4E IFV.

Even armed robbers in Soweto have AK-47, so SANDF is afraid of them? Right?

Boko captured your weapons in your arsenal dummy. Nigerian military weapons are rusty anyway.

That infamous CNN report on Nigerian army
January 21, 2015

- By Aloy Ejimakor –

I watched the recent CNN segment on the Boko Haram terror vis-a-vis the state of the Nigerian armed forces; and I was appalled at CNN, appalled at the misguided ‘soldiers’ that granted them the interview; and thus concluded that CNN has, in relation to Nigeria of this era, changed its name to ‘Celebrating Negative News’. I wager that my outrage represents the inert feelings of vast majorities of Nigerians that are still possessed of any sense of pride in the fine exploits of our armed forces.

Pray, how can anybody believe that Nigerian soldiers now sow or buy their own uniforms or buy their army-issue boots and other essential military gears? Since when? Lies, lies, but when told so many times, especially about Africa, they begin to ring true. Every army, everywhere in the world, including CNN’s own America, runs a military-gear shop where any soldier can optionally buy any extra non-essential gear he desires. It is a fashion thing that caters to the personal taste of any soldier who desires some extra stuff. This is what CNN that should know better so much mischaracterized and twisted, just to ridicule our army, our nation, our pride.

Are we even sure that the interviewees are bonafide Nigerian soldiers, and not some bitter mutineer, saboteur; or even a Boko Haram member or sympathizer in fake rag-tag military uniform? Yes, it’s Boko Haram that wears fake rag-tag army uniforms, not my authentic Nigerian soldiers I see on the streets resplendent and proud in their quality uniforms. Coming to the so-called disgruntled widows, how can anybody be so sure that Nic Robertson, the interviewer, was not suckered in by his local guide, who might have been motivated by some vile objectives?

The highly objectionable airing played into the deep-rooted, age-old stereotype that nothing works in Africa, even when something is working. I dare say that if Nigeria’s military expedition against Boko Haram is that lousy, the terrorists would have overrun the entire country by now. Who stopped the Boko Haram where they are now? Who paid with their blood to keep them at bay? Why these callous attacks on Nigerian military, especially its leadership? Do we want them to go on suicide missions? Or just get plain frustrated?

The setbacks in the Nigerian military’s gallant strides against Boko Haram are overhyped; and I dare say, for some sinister purposes. Traducers and non-patriots alike have ignored the main problem, and that is: the complex internal religious, tribal and political contradictions that have plagued the federal security apparatus and our polity in recent times and thus affected the morale of loyal forces and made this very insurgency the greatest military dilemma for any President, any army, anywhere. Everybody knows that’s the main problem, yet anybody that dares raise it, is drowned out, is ridiculed, like the President was when he ventured that Boko Haram has infiltrated state structures.

To be sure, this sort of biased, highly inflammatory foreign broadcast sits well with the closet civil Boko Haram sympathizers, some of whom are now probably amongst those campaigning to rule Nigeria; my Nigeria, poor Nigeria. Shame on CNN; shame on all those that give aid and comfort to the enemy, to terrorists, either in the name of ratcheting-up their TV ratings; or worse, seeking to overawe the government and people of Nigeria. It will never work; it has never worked anywhere, even if, for the time being, it seems to be emboldening Boko Haram and making our national defense more onerous.

Is it possible for any of our Nigerian TV stations or even the same CNN to be sneaking around Syria and Iraq, suborning subversive stories from disgruntled American troops? You won’t dare because it’s simply not allowed, and if you succeed and you proceed to air it, it shall be considered severe breach of national security laws and therefore prosecutable. Ask Snowden and Assange; now hunted by several western governments for airing what’s not supposed to be aired, and no combat environment was even involved.

Even as it is evident that the military is not resting on its oars, some rank partisans, with a political axe to grind, have seized the opportunity of this CNN ‘scoop’ to escalate their torment of the good people of Nigeria, believing that they are tormenting the Nigerian armed forces as presently commanded. And in some extreme cases of mean-spiritedness and undue levity, these people have even gone as far as taunting the armed forces and unwittingly celebrating every setback in the war effort, if not every kill made by Boko Haram.

They forget that no nation succeeds in subduing terrorism by exhibiting this shameful level of disunity and near-subversion of the security forces, notwithstanding that it is the only institution that is so far standing between us and the worst terror any African country has witnessed since time. You defeat terror by supporting and complimenting our men and women in uniform. Criticisms are welcome but they better be reasonable and driven by a high sense of patriotism; not this orchestrated taunts that a certain set people are playing-up as if it’s funny.

Just imagine how many Presidents, lost lives and ordnance it took America, with quantum help of world powers, to get Osama. It took three Presidents, from Bush Senior to Clinton, then from Bush Junior to Obama, all spanning over twenty years; and thousands of fallen American soldiers. And now they have ISIS and other garden-varieties to still conquer.

You don’t fight organized terror by falsely accusing Nigerian troops and their most gallant and can-do commanders of genocide, and then demanding that those that fought terrorists hard be tried and jailed whilst the terrorists are busy bombing away, beheading and killing your fellow Nigerians. American Presidents could not have made progress against terror if famous Americans are daily haranguing the government and security forces instead of giving them some moral support and compatriot spirit, which can sometimes bring much more mileage than any weapon can ever muster. The American expedition in Vietnam failed, not for lack of weapons or uniforms but for lack of compatriot support.

You don’t fight terror by justifying the despicable actions of Boko Haram on the premise that they are bombing and beheading out of some feeling of economic hardship, unemployment or marginalization. That is not what Boko Haram claims that propels them; it is abolition of western education and establishment of a caliphate in secular Nigeria that propel them. So, it is troubling that those with influence should turn apologists for Boko Haram by continuing to grab at straws while terror reigns. It is a shame that this infamous CNN report has created a new path to such perfidy. Shame on CNN.

South Africa was democratic before 1994 , or Botha and De Klerk are military rulers?

SADF ceased to exist after 1994, most whites with war experience were retired or emigrated to Australia, elite battalions were disbanded by ANC, the army was massively filled up with inexperienced jobless black youths from Soweto and thus degraded skill, education, battle experience, and professionalism to create the new Black controlled SANDF.

Show me the years of war experience your current SANDF has, why are you always afraid of this question?
.

was Nigeria democratic before 1999? Abacha was good.

The SADF absorbed Venda defence force, Ciskei defence force, Transkei defence force, Bophuthatswana defence force, AZANLA, Umkhonto wesizwe, IFP SPUs(self protection units).

Venda, Ciskei, Transkei and Bophuthatswana defence forces were already provided training by the SADF.

AZANLA, MK, IFP (SPUs) were retrained for conventional battles, as their training focused on guerrilla tactics.

All this forces make up the SANDF equating to a force with massive knowledge on both guerrilla and conventional warfare.

Only controversial units were disbanded, their soldiers posted to other units.

Nigerian military fought guerilla war in Liberia and Sierra Leone for 10 years, then in Niger Delta another 10 years, plus Boko Haram 5 years, total is 25 years guerilla and COIN warfare experience for Nigeria.

Now calculate and tell us the years of guerrilla war experience of current SANDF since apartheid ended in 1994....show us and compare yourself to Nigeria!

and you failed at all your operations

Liberia/Sierra Leone - failure
Niger Delta - failure
Boko Haram - Massive failure

Those SADF regiments you call controversial were actually the best in the army, like the Buffalo Battalion and regimented who demolished your rag tag ANC guerilla freedom fighters to the point that your guerrillas became totally impotent.

The fear of these white elite forces made Mandela to disband, frustrate, and retire them, and then replaced these experienced SADF soldiers with your long list of illiterate Bantu bushmen failed guerrillas who now became the weak and HIV sick SANDF of today, plus many jobless civilian men recruited from the streets of Soweto slums with near zero education and zero military ambition, all joined SANDF for the sake of getting monthly salary to feed their hungry families that were starving under apartheid rule.

SANDF is sick, illiterate, inexperienced, and incompetent

Bwahahahaha, this CNN reporter has destroyed his own story o !

Who wil believe a report that says Nigerian army has only AK-47 rifle while we see photos of Nigerian T-72 tanks, BTR-4 IFV, and infantry AGL all having firepower ranges of between 2km to 3km.

The CNN white-man journalist is one of those white retaards that you see in America.

For you South Africans, if a white-man asks you to go to a public microphone and announce that 2+2 = 22 , your genetic fear of white coloured skin will make you obey him

Fact remains

- Nigerian soldiers have to buy their own unfiorms
- Nigerian soldiers say they are outgunned
- Nigerian soldiers say they have to buy their own medical equipment

You think 5 BTR's and less than 5 T-72's changes a war?
