author=lezz post=32519089] Alright,slowpoke, I'm back
dealing with your question by numerical order.


Finally after days of Expo, Lezz has finally decided to appeal to the kola nut in his skull



No. 1----- the BBC reports that president Jonathan who happened to be the ECOWAS president, after an emergency meeting in Abuja, officially recognised the prime minister as the president-ellect and demanded the gbagbo government to step down. Jonathan also offered him refuge in Nigeria and gave him an option of military action or peacefully handing over. What's more , The West African central Bank blocked gbagbo from accessing funds of Ivory Coast. www.bbc.com/news/world -africa-12077298

Where does it say that Ivory coast was "BLACKLISTED" from ECOWAS Dont you know what Blacklist means?
Show me where blacklist was written in that article.

This was your initial comment,
"During the ivory coast presidential issues, ecowas had already asked gbabo to step down and blacklisted his government from ecowas. Military intervention was being discussed on the table."

You can neither curse nor lie your way out of this one, so try harder.



No 2----- You demon of the internet, I never said ghadafi PREDICTED the disintegration of Nigeria because of the united Africa nonsense .

Ghadafi CALLED for the outright breakup of Nigeria onto smaller states which he later changed to two states along religious lines which is quite different from what the US did.
The US merely predicted the likely breakup of Nigeria which she even denied.

Ghadafi seeked a weakened Nigeria which will make the entire west Africa vulnerable to exploitation and puppet governments. Nigeria has been oppossing ghadafi ever before the united Africa crap. Charles Taylor which Nigerian led ECOWAS eased off was a close ally of ghadafi. www.pambazuka.net/en/category.phb/panafrica/

This was your original statement, you cannot bamboozle anyone cooking up theories and non quintessential elements,

"Ghadafi as one of the oldest and wealthiest African leaders has asked for the au to morph into a single country with him as president.
His expantionist agenda is what Nigeria had always kicked against."

I showed you that Nigeria was not the only country that kicked against his plan and you made another statement


"At the heat of ghadafi's ouster in the Libyan civil war, Nigeria wanted ghadafi out because of his expansionist agenda in west Africa. Viewing Nigeria as a threat to this plan, he has called for the disintegration of Nigeria. Consequently Nigeria was the first country in Africa to officially recognise the rebel fighters

Now prove to this honorable house that Ghaddafi called for the disintegration of Nigeria because we did not support his expansionist agenda?



NO.3---- many Nigerian doctors are practicisng in Saudi Arabia which isn't a proof of any indication in that country. Quite unlike south Africa who clearly lacks the required quantity of qualified medical doctors to fill in there general hospitals.


Now that you agree that professional migration has nothing to do with how efficient a system is, do you have the statistics of doctors in SA vs Nigeria to know who is lacking? I rather debate on the facts than on mere speculation.



No.4----- You keep embarrassing people unfortunate enough to bear your cursed name.

You claim south Africa was the brain child of the AU. I supplied you proof it was ghadafi. You are still a lame ignorant imposter and a fraud. The link on no.2 suffice here.

It was a movement that people came together to agree then implement, the only question therein is; who was the first AU chairman? the onus is on me to make the connection between the first AU chairman and the AU brainchild, right?
so tell us, who was the first AU chairman??



No. 5----- France was bluffing and never threatened. You are a foolish kid. I followed that event very well and the Nigerian army dealt with the Cameroonian gamdems. And our defence minister said this famous quote " Nigeria will walk into Cameroon, France or no France" that was when Cameroon RAN to the ICJ. Why did Cameroon initiate the court proceedings if she really trust France to attack? You are a certified, bona fide dummy.

You have every right to retract any of your initial claims and apologise for misinforming the house, however, let me quickly remind you what you said.


"Bakassi was settled legally by the international court. Nigeria led by example and didn't use her might to swallow Cameroon"

You claimed we led by example by handing over the peninsular and I countered that position and gave proof that France threatened Nigeria,
since your proof is implying that France threatened Nigeria as well, will you now retract that "leading by example nonsense" and apologize to the house for misinformation?


with Total oil and other billion dollar investment in Nigeria, FRANCE CANNOT ATTACK .

I will educate you here when you have answered all the questions



No.6-----i said West Africa and not Africa
i know you are visually impaired so you have to write in coloured letters. But are you also mentally challenged you can't quote properly? Little wonder you had to resort to long narratives of weeping. https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=SZ-SmUs9pUEC&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=france+not+comfortable+with+Nigeria's+role+of+hegemony+in+west+africa&source=bl&ots=lo3_wMBNSv&sig=lMDKrDDiK4XUfVoJPPheQfX2Ji8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=i2AmVd_gIMuNaPTGgOAB&ved=0CA8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=france%20not%20comfortable%20with%20Nigeria's%20role%20of%20hegemony%20in%20west%20africa&f=false

The book you presented as evidence that France is not happy with Nigeria's hegemony in west Africa was written by prof Yomi Akinyeye, who by profession is not a French politician, neither does he have experience in Nigerian military, hence, what you read was a "Personal opinion" of Yomi, and he is not an authority to speak the mind of the French.

I really dont want to believe that your barrage of insolence here is fuelled by a pseudo intelligence founded on Yomi's "personal thoughts", when I asked you for a proof, I wanted to see where the French made the claim themselves.
Showing me Yomi's personal opinion is as good as your online vituperations, totally unacceptable. Show us where the French claim they are unhappy with Nigeria's hegemony in West Africa, kindly elucidate the Hegemonies, such an ambigious word will not lead us to a tangible outcome, I am still waiting.




NO7----- where did i make that very assertion? you walking failure in human form.

I told you this;


"AU has proved with Libya, Ivory coast and Mali that they are an unserious organisation, do you expect serious countries to be active in an unserious organization? AU is meant for unserious countries like Nigeria not Egypt".

And you replied thus;

you asked why Egypt has remained passive in AU, well not only Egypt but all of north Africa are essentially middle eastern!!!

Egypt isn't African any more than Turkey is European. Occupying the geographical space of Africa or Europe so rare a times don't cut it.Egypt situated in Africa only makes her African geographically. She is the leader of the Arab world.

My question is this; Since Egypt is an active AU member but remained passive in her affairs, yet a formidable force in the Arab league, don't you think it is because AU is an unserious Organization for serious countries like Egypt??


The Final question is this;

Compare the Nigerian first Ebola case with the United states first Ebola case? It was borne out of this statement;

"You said we are not suppose to get Ebola, blah blah blah. That no screening whatsoever at the airports. Should I remind you late sawyer was a diplomat who came into Nigeria officially? How did Ebola got into mighty USA or even Spain?"

Since you are confident to compare apple with oranges, tell us what you know about the two events? remember, you are free to retract any un verifiable statement you made in the past, & apologise to the house for mis informing us.



From your posture and litrary language, you are a struggling student who should be busy with homework and cautious to know if you can obtain a degree.

I have made the sacrifice of educating you and allowing you access into my hallowed secrets of learning and research.

I shall be deeply saddened by anything other than an enlightened, sober-minded jpphilips, who has been dressed with the garb of sophisticated intellect and political debate by Leslie.

And do not forget to pay due respected to me before and after each and every post you make. You know my requests are a little conservative given what you have just learnt today.


Why do we need to throw tantrums when you can easily crush me with your facts? I look forward to the next round of tutelage from the self acclaimed academician, I am patiently waiting for my answers!!
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by jl115: 5:32pm On Apr 09, 2015
Is been confirmed!!!!!
It was the German Navy that fired on the fishing boat!!!

The original article was in German!!
I used Google Translate to translate the text into english thus it sounds abit re.tarded,Those who understand German are welcome to read the original article:

http://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/man-konnte-das-schiesspulver-riechen-deutsches-kriegsschiff-versenkt-beinahe-motorboot_id_4576060.html

Translated(Quite a few language errors):

"An uninvolved fishing boat came into the crosshairs of a German warship. Off the coast of South Africa has targeted a frigate and almost sunk the boat. The cause was apparently a mix up in an exercise.
A warship of the Bundeswehr has almost sunk a fishing boat during an exercise in South Africa. As the "Mirror", citing a German bloggers, as well as the South African news portal "iol.com" reports. The boat was just missed at the accidental attack.
Bundeswehr does not respond to radio message
When naval "Good Hope" frigates "Hessen" and were "Karlsruhe" involved. One of the ships should have shot the innocent fishing boat, so "mirror". The warship is eight meters long have confused "Arctic" with a shared drone to shoot the Bundeswehr.
The fishing boat was then given an emergency call. Although the Bundeswehr terminated the fire, but responded to the statements of states that "mirror" not on the radio message. In an interview, the captain of the "Arctic" by three bullets spoke. 10 to 15 meters, they should have taken alongside the boat. "That was so close that we could smell the gunpowder and have been ringing my ears," the magazine quoted the captain."

Pakistan has defense cash in pocket far bigger than South Africa, yet they use about 200 units of same Grifo-7 radar on air force jets.

Brazil , Czech, Italy all use same Grifo-7 radar as Nigerian F-7 jets. All these 3 countries have bigger defense budgets than South Africa.

Or you have to go where your truck cannot?

Or if you have to dismount in a rush and counter-attack - how will you conduct a sustained fire fight? Gunna give up your cover to run back to the truck for more mags?

What if a man gets hit? You gunna say "hold on igbo, im just gunna run back to the truck and dig around for the med kit, try not to bleed to death in the meantime"?

3 mags, 5 mags, all will be used up in sustained fire fight, soldiers will still run out of ammo, the key is supply chain for every unit, even battalions on frontline run out of ammunition.

Army field supply chain is more important than extra 2 mags per man. War can last for years, battles can last for months

There's big difference between having some half decayed nuclear materials and having a real nuclear weapon that can be deployed in war.

Today, South Africa has NO nuclear weapon to harm any enemy

Desperate times! Read above what I have boldened from the weak translation of the German article.

====
"According to the German Navy is still unclear whether the errant shots of a German ship or a ship of the South African Navy".

======
This statement leaves more questions to be asked!! If it wasn't the South Africa National Defence Force, it shouldn't take over two weeks to clarify who took the misfired shots. What does it take SAN Defence Force spokesperson to say Germany fired the shots? angry angry angry

SANDF and incompetence ... very synonymous!! Walahi faa!




The German warship captain is the one who shot at the ship of fishermen. Dummy!!!

author=lezz post=32519089] Alright,slowpoke, I'm back
dealing with your question by numerical order.


Finally after days of Expo, Lezz has finally decided to appeal to the kola nut in his skull





Where does it say that Ivory coast was "BLACKLISTED" from ECOWAS Dont you know what Blacklist means?
Show me where blacklist was written in that article.

This was your initial comment,

You can neither curse nor lie your way out of this one, so try harder.





This was your original statement, you cannot bamboozle anyone cooking up theories and non quintessential elements,



I showed you that Nigeria was not the only country that kicked against his plan and you made another statement




Now prove to this honorable house that Ghaddafi called for the disintegration of Nigeria because we did not support his expansionist agenda?






Now that you agree that professional migration has nothing to do with how efficient a system is, do you have the statistics of doctors in SA vs Nigeria to know who is lacking? I rather debate on the facts than on mere speculation.





It was a movement that people came together to agree then implement, the only question therein is; who was the first AU chairman? the onus is on me to make the connection between the first AU chairman and the AU brainchild, right?
so tell us, who was the first AU chairman??





You have every right to retract any of your initial claims and apologise for misinforming the house, however, let me quickly remind you what you said.




You claimed we led by example by handing over the peninsular and I countered that position and gave proof that France threatened Nigeria,
since your proof is implying that France threatened Nigeria as well, will you now retract that "leading by example nonsense" and apologize to the house for misinformation?




I will educate you here when you have answered all the questions





The book you presented as evidence that France is not happy with Nigeria's hegemony in west Africa was written by prof Yomi Akinyeye, who by profession is not a French politician, neither does he have experience in Nigerian military, hence, what you read was a "Personal opinion" of Yomi, and he is not an authority to speak the mind of the French.

I really dont want to believe that your barrage of insolence here is fuelled by a pseudo intelligence founded on Yomi's "personal thoughts", when I asked you for a proof, I wanted to see where the French made the claim themselves.
Showing me Yomi's personal opinion is as good as your online vituperations, totally unacceptable. Show us where the French claim they are unhappy with Nigeria's hegemony in West Africa, kindly elucidate the Hegemonies, such an ambigious word will not lead us to a tangible outcome, I am still waiting.






I told you this;




And you replied thus;



My question is this; Since Egypt is an active AU member but remained passive in her affairs, yet a formidable force in the Arab league, don't you think it is because AU is an unserious Organization for serious countries like Egypt??


The Final question is this;

Compare the Nigerian first Ebola case with the United states first Ebola case? It was borne out of this statement;



Since you are confident to compare apple with oranges, tell us what you know about the two events? remember, you are free to retract any un verifiable statement you made in the past, & apologise to the house for mis informing us.






Why do we need to throw tantrums when you can easily crush me with your facts? I look forward to the next round of tutelage from the self acclaimed academician, I am patiently waiting for my answers!!
You are a walking-dead fighting a lost course . Funny how you raise questions I never asked and responding to what you assumed was my meaning.

You are asking questions based on what YOU TAUGHT I MEANT. What a waste of humanity you are!!


You want the word "blacklist" to be found in the source that has quoted ecowas excutives asking gbagbo to hand over power or face military action. A source which has revealed the West African Central Bank blocked gbagbo from accessing state funds.

You have so much in common with your South African friends: shameless denial, enemy of truth. You're a little minded, petty troll who has been exposed as a carrier-troll. You know so little.


keep rephrasing your questions as I flush you into the sewer pipes where you belong.


A WHO certfied schizophrenic toad like you have the imbecility to question Prof Yemi because we have cheap internet these days.

Son, you have been knocked out of the ring. you don't have the muscular facts and literary skills anymore to put up a fight.

If you want to be a negative Nigerian critic, then arm yourself with a little knowledge, not blind rage.


You never knew Libya invaded and tried to occupy northern Chad.


You never knew Ghadafi was the brainchild of the AU


You never knew the French was uncomfortable with Nigeria's West Africa leadership.


You're just a pretentious gay South African lover.

You're not qualified to be here. you are a gate-crashing local champion.

I have witnessed you being whooped on other threads as well


so you and mediocrity never seem to part company.
Next.

Who said SA has nuclear weapons? Oops!! I forgot that Dummies should always have to be taught carefully because they are slow learners. We have said that SA has nuclear weapons fuel to can use anytime should they want to become nuclear power state again.

The fuel was melted down and casted in ingots, then staffed into former silver vaults. It is perfectly safe to be reused again.

Bwahahahaha!!! Does SA nuclear weapon fuel make you scared that we have enough to make six big atomic bombs to destruct the whole of Nigeria?

Since you live in a country with no mines, you might not know what is an ingot. This might help you

Nigeria has never used tanks in tank v tank combat

These woman can manage to wear their overalls and not get heat stroke

Why cant your men? Are they inferior to South African women?
Bros when you talk sometimes you ignore some variables on the tables. what is average temperature in South africa and what is the temperature in the Sahara desert and Guinea savanna region. or is your knowledge of Geography inferior to that of Augugust? or whoever it is you were arguing with.

Vs 1 R4 and 12 plus mags!

Your soldiers under fire will run to the truck after every minute?

No buddy kit and no water.

You deep sh1t liar. Your troops are issued 7 rounds of Mags top. I have enough evidence of SANDF troops running around with 3/4 mags.

A Nigerian soldier under fire can get fire support from the M.G, 12.7mm, 30mm or 30mm from the sky.

It's one of the perks of having over 40 MI-35 Helicopters to call in.

Dicon Produces camel backs which are issued to troops or can be gotten from various military stores.

Firstly i never said they weren't SFs or SOFs i used SFs as a general term , i said they conduct the same type of operations as our special forces,meaning land and sea!

Our MRS are specially trained for Maritime operations, for example anti Piracy operations! They too have their blue uniform and also their Standard Soldier2000 camo, i posted pics about 2 days ago on your thread.

"No, all "SANDF" forces are issued a single camo. Your S.F wear green."
They have their standard soldier2000 kit aswell as different camo patterns depending on their mission.

http://www.recce.co.za/

Your MRS is a VBSS team, no different. Even Somalia has these.

Your inefficient defence ministry only issues as single Cammo type to your HIV ridden troops.

Proper militaries across the world have different types of Cammo for different terrains. The Americans, brits, Nigerians, indians, turks, pakistanis.

Nigeria operates the multi-terrain cammo,
Woodland
Desert.

Your SF only have a primary green cammo.

Funny analogy...its like saying Nigeria can afford 100 units of Rafale Jets if they decided to buy. Because in real sense, the country has the money, but would they splash out on Rafales? Maybe, maybe not, the answer is subjective.

Your logic falls flat in the face of objectivity, the question is not about capability but can SA afford it? Are they willing to invest in it? which i doubt considering the fact that the SA budget cannot accommodate crucial air-freight planes for the military and luxury vip jets at a time.

Stop this act of chest beating, the issue is not about ingot, because as at 21:28 GMT 9th of April 2015, SA doesn't have nuclear warheads.

Our MRS are parachute qualified,Dive qualified, and do joint land operations with our Army.Thus they are much more versatile than a VBSS.

"Nigeria operates the multi-terrain cammo,

Jap ,to bad you operate Woodland camo in desert operations!

"Proper militaries across the world have different types of Cammo for different terrains. The Americans, brits, Nigerians, indians, turks, pakistanis."
The US ARMY uses only the UCP-Delta camo pattern! the other patterns you posted are from other branches of the military exp:USAF,USN and SF/SOF units, our Airforce and Navy have different uniforms than our Army and our SFs also have different camo depending on their mission.

"Your SF only have a primary green cammo."
Nope!! their standard camo as i said before is Soldier2000 camo,and change depending on their mission as i proved with the photos i posted:

Uhm.....NO!Its nothing like this:

We have the material and technology it would cost us much much less to manufacture nuclear warheads than what it would cost Nigeria.
Its like buy 100 Rafales but you already have all the air-frames!if i have to use your example.

"SA budget cannot accommodate crucial air-freight planes for the military and luxury vip jets at a time."
Firstly buying transports falls into the Defece budget, which by the way is only 1% of our GDP.

Secondly its all ready been budgeted for, so yes we are getting transports in the next 2-3 years.

Lastly our National treasury is much larger than Nigerias, thus we can afford many more weapons than Nigeria if we really wanted to!
