I also haven't seen a single picture of SA mercenary in Iraq and Afghanistan but I know for sure that thousands and thousands of SA left the army and went there. So in the case of Nigeria let us wait and see, perhaps someone might see them in Nigeria and publish their image.

Perhaps? Unfortunately there are none! Not one! Keep romancing your hollow cranial cavity for all you care!
You desperately want a taste of our impending success by hook or crook! SA will never ever come close to real COIN battles. Those your so called mercenaries are busy looting foreigners' shops across Soweto. Keep waiting to see Phantom mercenaries ... of course you'll never see any!

One thing for sure is: Nigerian-led MNJTF are in full swing ... doing our thing steadily.

Biafra war and Niger Delta war, and Dafur war first batch troops were 100% Nigerian, and fought against militia.

Nigerian troops were not the only ones in Darfur, civil wars are irrelevant

Why cant you show us Nigerian troops fighting alone in foreign lands?

There is no war where Nigeria ever fought alone.

Not knowing the T-72 M1 in your picture is Slovakian not Czech

While the T-72M1 itself is Russian and not Czech

Just like the person who wrote the artical, you know nothing!

T-72 tanks transfer among use countries is very high and in thousands. You get Russian model from other Eastern bloc sellers etc.

T-72 tanks are shuffled among countries and many versions emerge. Nigeria has 3 sources of T-72 tanks and different versions.

You are not smart enough to know that.

Tell your military to stop manning check points.

SADF deployed only 4,000 men .....and that's over 20 years ago old times. What is SANDF deploying today as big war

6000 soldiers were mobilised for operational Uxolo.

Henry120:


Keep making this silly comment. A couple guys with dane guns and machete are doing most of the fighting against an enemy armed with AA guns, PKM's, RPG's and AK-47's?


You see how ridiculous you are.

Tell us what happened in Maiduguri today?

They were easily mobilised and headed to the front, and didn't your military hand them weapons?

How many people were killed by your inaccurate air force bombing?

Braver than your coward soldiers.

You were just google searching random stuff and general info, this transaction is special .

You were not smart enough to know the T-72 M1 sale was Russian made tanks gathered together from several different armies of different countries of origin and sold to Nigeria by a Czech company ......you are a dumbo domingo that cannot analyse a complex transaction

"Soviet-made tanks T-72 M1 and 16 other vehicles, BMP armored infantry fighting vehicles and rocket launchers to an African country, its spokesman Andrej Čírtek told the paper. Čírtek said the heavy arms come from sales of redundant equipment of the armies of the former Warsaw Pact countries. Czech Defense and Security Industry Association head Jiří Hynek confirmed that the destination is Nigeria."

Uhh no, 50 tanks will quickly run out of fuel.

How will you transport food, fuel, ammunition, medical supplies, re-enforcements, spares, equipment with only 67 MT-LB?

And if your 60 MT-LB's are being used to ferry stores - what will be doing APC work on the other side?

0/10 - apply yourself.

Your minister was telling lies just to gun an easy political targets for President badluck Jonathan. SA is not modeling Nigeria in anything. How can we ever model a country which has itself failed in power sector? I guess he scored cheap political points for his lousy uninformed speech.

Military Captures Armoured Vehicles, Artillery Guns Overnight

Dislodges Terrorists from Maiduguri… Operation is part of Comprehensive Mission Supported by Allied Neighbours
by SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK Feb 01, 2015
1K 58 42

The Cobra APC recovered from BH fighters in Konduga last week PR Nigeria The terrorists who in their disarray strayed towards Bama, Ngom, Alou, Delwa and Mafa in the night have now been effectively contained. Mopping up operation is ongoing. Several weapons, arms and ammunition including two armoured vehicles and two artillery guns as well as 17 Hilux vehicles have been captured from them. Several terrorists also died.

The affected locations have been secured and soldiers wounded are being treated. Patrols and pursuit of fleeing terrorists is continuing in coordination with allied forces. Meanwhile, the terrorists attack on Maiduguri in the early hours of Sunday was quickly contained. The terrorists incurred massive casualty. The situation is calm as mopping up operation in the affected area is ongoing. The ongoing operations is in coordination with activities in the Multinational Joint Task. The terrorists are meant to be engaged in all fronts including their previous safe havens and hide outs in the region.

It is in line with the arrangement for a comprehensive and coordinated military operation with inputs by military forces in the Lake Chad Basin Commission namely Nigeria, Chad, Niger, and Cameroon.
More later.

That's untrue. Just ask any Nigerian who lives in SA, if he is fair enough will tell you that he experiences load shedding very seldom and if it happens it would only take 3hours. It does not happen everyday, at most is just only twice a week, not always at night and sometimes not at all. If we were living in cadles we wouldn't have our batteries charged to chat on Nairaland.


Meanwhile, Nigeria is on permanent load shedding.

Lol,the South African IPP(Independent Power Producers) are in charge of producing 5% of SA's electricity.This includes wind,solar and gas.This policy was introduced in the Intergrated Resources Plan(IRP 2010-2030) and has been effectively implemented already.Adios!

That minister should be ashamed for telling the people of Nigeria lies by suggesting that SA is now on the verge of privatizing ESKOM. He should have done research and would have noticed that SA took a decision long ago not to privatize ESKOM. Well, it is understandable that the crazy minister was canvassing for Jonathan by using lies. He fails to even produce more than 5000MW of power for his own people and now he falsely claim that a country which produces more than 40 000MW is modeling his boss' futile policies. He should run and throw himself in the ocean.

That Ratel IFV is NOT crossing a river

It is being ferried on a floating pontoon

SANDF has NO single armoured vehicle that can drive across a river in amphibious combat. Nigeria has 1,000 amoured amphibious vehicles.

So when you climb onto a ferry which travels from one end of a lake to another....you technically have not crossed the lake unless you get into the water and get wet? Nice logic

That is a picture of SA Army engineers executing a Ratel water crossing. You can deal with it and make peace with it however you like.
