saengine: Long story with no sense in it. The Equatorial Guinea Vs Maiduguri location/street REVA MRAP story came backstage from an online source and was circulated in Nigeria. You cannot blame anybody for anything, war reports are hard to confirm unless you are a top military commander directly reporting from the field. I owe nobody any fvcking apology, Nigerian army never gave public information on it's versions of REVA MRAPs, we are the ones working so hard to fish out Nigerian weapons and identify their specifications from half complete photos, how is that easy? Can you do better? Yourself can you tell us the difference between REVA Mk III and MK V ? Tell us now ! War reports gets cleared better after days have passed. BBC said 2,000 people died in Baga, a whole BBC relied on a Facebook source because Nigerian military did not comment in the matter for many days before pegging Baga casualty at 150 dead. Have you written letter to BBC about their 2,000 casualty story and ask BBC editor in chief to keel down and bow to one gay Southie named Saengine? You must be hurting badly by now, because the only confirmed South African ex-soldier in Nigeria is a casual labor mechanic who found a better life in Nigeria after South Africa wasted his time and career, we save your unemployed people from financial mess . 2 Likes 1 Share |

http://news.yahoo.com/foreigners-train-nigerian-troops-final-onslaught-hits-boko-150912277.html [b] LONDON (Reuters) - Foreign private security personnel from South Africa, Russia and South Korea are on the ground in northeast Nigeria to train Nigerian troops and are not engaged in frontline combat against Boko Haram, the government said on Tuesday. According to security and diplomatic sources, Nigeria has brought in hundreds of mercenaries to give its offensive against the Islamist militant group a shot in the arm ahead of the March 28 presidential elections. But government spokesman Mike Omeri said foreigners on the ground were only engaged in training Nigerian troops. "There are trainers on the ground to assist in the handling of equipment," Omeri told Reuters on the sidelines of a news conference in London. "They simulate, they teach. These are the things they do." Asked if they were directly involved in fighting, he said: "I am not aware of that." Africa's most populous nation and top energy producer has been plagued by the Boko Haram insurgency since 2009, when insurgents intensified efforts to establish an Islamic caliphate in the northeastern Borno state. However, this year Nigeria and its neighbors have launched a series of offensives to recapture territory, turning the tide against Boko Haram in the run-up to the hotly contested presidential poll. Omeri would not confirm how many foreigners were involved but said they had come from the same countries that had provided military equipment. He cited South Africa, Russia and South Korea. "Acquisition of recruitment and military hardware is done through a number of processes. There are government-to-government exchanges and there are those who also come through contractors," he said. The contractors' stay in Nigeria would end when local troops had become proficient at handling the equipment, he added. "This is training on site and maybe this is why the people on the ground have been described as mercenaries." He declined to predict how long it would take for the military to regain full control. "We have started the final onslaught," he said. "This is the road to the finish and we are on it already." (Reporting by Karin Strohecker; Editing by Giles Elgood)[/b] 2 Likes |

agaugust: its 350mm. bros i have shot that stuff, its so out dated. nigerian army has experience but they are terribly equipped. its only few who even use the AK74. the standard is AK47 wish is so outdated. chadians where able to gain grounds against boko haram in our territory because of their fire power. those guys use standardised AK74 with complete accessories. army spec ops still use that out dated AKM's and AK47's which is very very bad. I still give thumbs up to the NAF and NN anyday,they stand out. south african army dwarfs Nigerian army anyday.they have superior fire power. Boko Haram dont fight conventional warfare, the use anti-aircraft and anti-tant guns on human beings so you dont send your army after such fools with old rickety AKM's and AK47's... AK74 would have being far more preferable.!! 3 Likes |

BOTH BLACK AND WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN MERCENARIES ARE FACING ARREST ON THEIR WAY BACK HOME. [b] JOHANNESBURG ( AA) – South African mercenaries fighting the Boko Haram militant group in Nigeria could face arrest when they return home, experts have warned. “What they are doing is illegal under South African law,” Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies, told The Anadolu Agency on Friday. He said South Africa’s Foreign Military Assistance Act prohibited South African citizens from engaging in combat activities abroad. “The reason why Nigeria employed these South Africans is because they were successful in fighting in Angola against UNITA and in Sierra Leone against the RUF,” he said in reference to two African rebel groups. Cilliers said that most of the mercenaries had previously served in the South African Defense Force during the apartheid era. “There are both black and white mercenaries,” he said when asked by AA about the mercenaries’ backgrounds. The media has reported that hundreds of mercenaries from South Africa and other countries were fighting alongside Nigerian forces against Boko Haram militants. The reports, some of which quoted senior regional officials in West Africa, claimed that the mercenaries – with the use of attack helicopters and armored personnel carriers – were currently fighting to retake towns and villages captured by the militant group. Recent media reports have also quoted South African Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa- Nqakula as saying that South Africans helping the Nigerian army against Boko Haram should we arrested upon their return home. -Denial- Asked if he thought that the mercenaries’ activities could put South Africans at risk of attacks by militant groups, Cilliers said, “I don’t think so.” “The government has strongly condemned them; they are there on their own,” he said. Meanwhile, the South African National Defense Force (SANDF) reiterated on Friday that it did not have any troops in West Africa. “The South African government has not sent anybody to Nigeria. There are no South African troops anywhere in West Africa,” SANDF Head of Communications Siphiwe Dlamni told AA. “These people [mercenaries] are not our responsibility. We deal with uniformed people in the SANDF,” he said. Dlamni added that they would be prosecuted if they were found to have broken any South African laws. In the past, former South African soldiers who had served under the country’s former apartheid regime have been accused of working as mercenaries in different parts of the world. Earlier Friday, the Nigerian authorities denied reports that mercenaries were helping army troops in their fight against Boko Haram. © 2015, Hassan Isilow.

Until you prove those white men's true nationalities, they are NOT South Africans.....and who cares anyway, NO MERCENARY is doing combat in Nigeria's war.
