CraigB:

Oh wow! The desperation of a hurt Naai-gerian knows no bounds. 2008, is it?

That bad?

As for the rest of the post, scratched out of course. Time is money and junk falls to be scratched out.

So hurt is the Naa-gerian that he decided to search the inter web for answers.

It hurt did it? You didn't realise how USELESS SANDF Special Forces are? It happened in 2013. They can't train, how will they fare in real combat?

CraigB:

Ah! I get it. The politician was piloting himself. The soldier was just enjoying a glass of champagne at the back of the boat.

Nice.

You are the best thinker that mankind has ever been blessed with.

You are wonderfully made and your thinking comes in great blitzkrieg-like things that can't even be described.

No dumbo, they were not attached to the governors party as he was travelling in another boat. And nobody died anyway if you bothered reading the rest of the article. But, why should you, you are a bottom dollar lawyer.

CraigB:




Suffer the Naai-gerians!

Is that the retort?

Ag shame...

Nor does it say a soldier was piloting. Try another one lawyer boy.

CraigB:

Oh my! The South African soldiers also crashed a boat which was part of a convoy carrying leaders?

My, my...

Did you read the article which said ex-soldier, olodo. It didn't say a soldier was piloting the boat.

CraigB: While their brothers are disgracing themselves in the North-East of the country, the other Naai-gerian soldiers are disgracing themselves on the other side of the country.

This military can do absolutely nothing right.

Nigeria: One Soldier Feared Dead As Bayelsa Dep-Gov's Boat Convoy Crashes

Yenagoa — A soldier on the security team of the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Rear Admiral John Jonah (rtd) was Sunday feared dead in a boat crash along the mangrove in the Ogbia-Nembe waterways.

While the ex-soldier reportedly died on the spot, two others sustained serious injuries.The boat driver was said to have lost control of the watercraft, veered off the water and crashed into the mangroves at about 8 am.

Though a source said nobody died from the incident, one of the soldiers attached to the Joint Task Force (JTF), Operation Pulo Shield, was said to have sustained serious injuries.

"The boat ran into the mangrove forest. About three of the soldiers were injured but the injuries of one of them was serious," the source who pleaded anonymity said.

It was learnt that the deputy governor was on his way to Nembe for a private visit when the accident occurred.

Contacted, Senior Special Assistant to the deputy governor on Media, Mr. Ebi Evinson, could not be reached but the Media Coordinator, JTF, Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, confirmed the accident but said the soldiers were not attached to the deputy governor. He insisted that nobody died from the accident.

He, however, said the injured victims had been treated in a clinic and discharged.

"No soldier is attached to the convoy of the deputy governor. The soldiers were only behind the convoy when the boat veered off the water and ran into the mangroves. Only two soldiers sustained minor injuries. Nobody died", he said.

You mean like the South African soldier who shot himself or the one killed by a poacher? You didn't even read the article that said ex-soldier.

CraigB:

Many have tried. Many have failed. I can't be ignored. Facts hurt souls on this thread. Naai-gerian retards can only bite their lower lips so long.

Haha, people don't ignore you, they just make a fool of you, but you are too dumb to realise.

CraigB:

Gone are the loud "we are winning" arguments. Replaced by a sorry "we are making progress" whimper.

"Pathetic" does not even begin to describe the whole sodding affair.

The net is closing . Continue to read and weep. I will summon you when we get there for you to bow your head and admire the best fighting force in Africa.

CraigB:

It's evident from the howls, barks and the lovely airtime that I am getting

It's obvious Naai-gerians are hurting.

And by the way, I post what I want, when I want to.

Calling for me to post things is a waste of time.

I'm too clever for that kindergarten strategy.

Haha! Sorry, you and clever don't go together.

And I don't even need to search, the stink permeates the internet, the inter web. No searching is necessary.

But then again, this is fun. Like MacDees, I'm lovin' it. I make ... run.

Even sadder still. Please, can anyone help CraigB with a partner? He definitely needs one.

CraigB:

Oh I absolutely love it!

So hurt are the Naai-gerians their only answer is "low IQ".

Well, "low IQ" and "in African"
Won't change the evidence in the form of pictures.

What evidence my low grade lawyer boy?

CraigB:

You got that right, boytjie. Absolutely nothing to prove.

It's all there. It speaks for itself.

Painful facts. In words and pictures. Can't be erased.

I don't dwell in the wordy, loud but empty posts of this thread. I post to the point and anger Naai-gerians.

That's what I do.

What makes you think the picture is painful? We love it. Please provide more of tortured BH terrorists. Shows they are getting captured by the Mighty Nigerian military, which is what we have been saying all along.

CraigB: Ah! Now, if Cameroon want to have their villagers murdered, they will agree to this deal.

Or perhaps, the useless Naai-gerians will be told no-can-do, unless they operate under the tutelage of France. With their hearts bleeding after the loss of Bakassi, who knows what the failed and ill-disciplined military of Naai-geria might do.

Nigeria seeks deal to hunt Boko Haram inside Cameroon

http://www.worldbulletin.net/?aType=haber&ArticleID=125754

Nigeria is negotiating a security agreement with Cameroon and France to grant its troops access to Boko Haram settlement in the former French colony, which officials claim has become the new haven for the fighters.
"It is discovered that Boko Haram terrorists now launch attacks on Nigeria from their hideouts in villages located on the Cameroonian side of the border," a Defense Ministry official told Anadolu Agency on Thursday, requesting anonymity for the sensitivity of the issue.
"It is for this reason that we are seeking an agreement with Cameroon and France which still maintains some military outpost in its former colony to enable our troops to, where and when necessary, chase these terrorists down to their haven," he added.

Painful to you that we making progress hahaha!

Fighter Pilot:

Bwahahahaha!!! What is the nationality of those pilots who are flying those Rooivalks which are killing rebels left, right and center? SA is at the forefront of peace enforcement at the DRC.

Haahaa! killing who left right and centre? Your Rooivalks were working in conjunction with UN Hinds and your troops weren't near the frontline. Weren't you the one boasting about having one of the longest sniper killings? Keeping their distance and letting others do the hard work then claiming credit. You lot must be British in disguise.

Fighter Pilot: Having watched the news today, i have seen that Nigerian military is really unsure if Shekau is really dead. Nobody can ever claim confidently that shekau is dead after having appeared on the video again on christmas day.

Shekau is dead. Let's see the video and you will find either an imposter, or a voiceover with old footage of him. The claims also make me laugh reading the articles

chris365:

okay Craig. if you can prove to me how smart you are by naming which professional army in the world that engage terrorists didn't torture terror suspects, I would take back all I've said about you.

with proof please and not your usual foolish mumbling.

you see why you remain stup1d on this thread.

I swear he has a complex. How can someone dedicate himself to searching the web for stories to try and back his position, all because SA ran away from a rag-tag bunch of rebels (SELEKA). A sad individual.

CraigB:

What I am on this thread is a pain in the backside of angry, but brainless Naai-gerians like you.

Since when is "affect" similar to "shame"?

And when did the raging conflict in Naai-geria today ever shame South Africa, or Namibia or Mauritius or Lesotho?

On what grounds should a person from Botswana be ashamed that Naai-gerians are slaughtering each other like pigs today?

No amount of anger will help you pluck non-existent intelligence from a tree. Stüpid is as stûpid does

Oh, wait! The "West" views Africa as one, so that's it. Clever.

We walk among idîots.

You are not a pain to anyone but yourself. SA has long been a black spot and a stain on Africa with it's high crime rate and murders and are not even fighting an insurgency. SHAME. And you do sound like FORREST GUMP.

CraigB: The usual propaganda from a failing mission.

Dead are the cries of "Seleka!"

Laughed too early, they did. The useless Naai-gerians.

The military cannot even protect its own women and children. Let alone its barracks.

By the way ignorant one, that is an old picture of a burnt building not barracks and no military wives or children were killed. See what I mean by posting rubbish from unknown sources.

As usual, our fake lawyer searching the web for stories that suit his agenda, whether accurate or not from sources all over the place. Do you even bother reading the stories before you highlight sections?

You are disappointed that BH hasn't taken over the NE yet and you will continue to hope until it eventually dawns on you it will not happen.

Nigerian troops are currently engaged in the NE, Niger Delta, Sudan, Mali, Sierra Leone etc and SA only has some soldiers hiding behind Tanzanian and other troops in DR Congo having fled CAR when confronted by a uniformed force that can be identified and engaged and you come here on this forum to open your trap and show your ignorance? SA can't even engage in more that one operation as all you say is they are in DR.

You are indeed a desperate fellow with very low self esteem that thinks he can make himself look important by making spurious comments on this thread. Did it even occur to you that the civilians being prayed for are those killed by BH forces who are targeting civilians? Olodo.

Not to worry bro, not much new stuff as far as we can see coming from France, although some of our older AFVs and the like are French.

Nail biting moments of decision over the past few weeks! Strike inside of Cameroun or not. The option is getting more traction internally!

It is surely inevitable if this continues, at least pursuing them into Cameroonian territory as diplomacy with Cameroon has not borne any fruit. Cameroon are slack because they know the French will back them, but you never know.

NIGERIAN NAVY’S 38M SEAWARD DEFENCE BOAT (SDB) PROJECT: AN EXERCISE IN LOCAL CONTENT DEVELOPMENT


The Nigerian Navy (NN) 38m Seaward Defence Boat (SDB) project is a bold attempt at self-reliance in local construction of naval platforms. Since the Presidential directive at the commissioning of NNS ANDONI, the CNS, V Adm Ezeoba has left no stone unturned towards the construction of SDB 2.

The 38M SDB is presently under construction at the Naval Dockyard Limited (NDL). The project started with the construction of the inverted hull as a single unit, while the superstructure is being built as a separate entity. Upon completion of both units, they will now be welded together to achieve a single compact unit. The various segments of the superstructure have been fabricated and welded together.

On 22 Dec 13, history was made in the NN, when upon completion of the hull, it was turned from the inverted position to the upright position and placed on keel blocks. This is the first time this evolution has taken place in the history of the NN, and this was executed with a 100 percent Nigerian Team. The boat is now ready for the next stage of the project which includes; the welding of the superstructure, construction of tanks, piping systems, electrical installations and installation of propulsion machinery amongst others. The vessel is expected to be commissioned into the NN fleet in 2014.

For those SAs who think the NN ain't up to much;

Nigeria: Navy Destroyed 1,556 Illegal Oil Refineries, Nabbed 1,646 Suspects in 2013 - CNS
24 December 2013


Abuja — Chief of Naval Staff, CNS, Vice-Admiral Dele Ezeoba, yesterday said the Nigerian Navy destroyed 1,556 illegal oil refineries and arrested 1,646 suspects in 2013.

Ezeoba disclosed this at the launch of the Chief of Naval Staff Strategic Guidance, SG, 02 in Abuja, yesterday.

He said: "The Nigerian Navy destroyed 1,556 illegal oil refineries, 103 barges, 69,606 auxiliary equipment and 1,443 large wooden boats.'Between October 2012 and September 2013, more than 1,646 suspects were arrested and handed over to either the Nigeria Police Force, EFCC or the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps for trial."

He said the incidence of piracy had been reduced considerably."For instance, between January and September 2013, the Nigerian Navy received 91 alerts of

suspected sea robbery and piracy within Nigeria's maritime space," he added.

According to Ezeoba, the Nigerian Navy responded to 64 cases of sea robbery and is currently investigating 22 of the remaining cases.The chief of naval staff also said the two hijacked vessels, MV Crow and MT Norte, with 17,000 metric tonnes of gasoline, were successfully rescued by the Navy.

"Currently, two offshore patrol vessels are under construction, one to be fully built in China and the other to be completed in the Naval Shipyard Limited, Port Harcourt," he added.

Ezeoba also said the Navy had acquired a U.S. Coast Guard Ship, USCGC Gallatin which is expected to sail into the country by the second quarter of 2014.

"Following the achievement of the aforementioned milestone, which was the essence of my SG 01, it has now become necessary to issue my SG 02," he said.

Accordingly, the Chief of Naval Staff, SG 02 was duly promulgated on Nov. 1, 2013, to ensure that the directives contained therein are carried out.

Fighter Pilot:

This strategy of inflating number of casualties with regard to insurgents will really not work.

You are very funny indeed. in fact the BH casualty figures are underestimated as they carry their dead with them when possible (including burying them while fleeing) and a lot of them die from their wounds afterwards

Our Cameroonian friends again.

70 killed in troops, Boko Haram clashes in Nigeria: military

Dec 24,2013


LAGOS, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Nigerian defense authority on Monday said more than 70 people have been killed in clashes between the army and members of the Boko Haram militant group in the northeast, following last Friday pre-dawn attacks on a military barracks in Bama town.

"Over 50 of them (Boko Haram) died in the course of exchange of fire with ground troops in the ongoing operations to apprehend fleeing terrorists," Major General Chris Olukolade, the defense director of information, said in a statement obtained by Xinhua

He said the military also lost 15 soldiers mostly from the attack while some died during the pursuit, adding that a total of five civilians also died during the attack.

According to Olukolade, the military operations led to the destruction of over 20 vehicles conveying escaping militants.
[b]
He added that the vehicles were the ones used during the attack on the barracks and were sighted through air surveillance as the militants were making efforts to cross the borders back to their haven in Cameroon.
[/b]
Last Friday, the military said Bama barracks was attacked by militants who came from cells located across Nigerian Border with Cameroon through Banki town, adding that high caliber weapons such as anti-aircraft and rocket propelled guns were freely used in the attack that lasted several hours.

Bama town, about 65 km from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, had suffered numerous attacks from Boko Haram insurgents, forcing some residents to flee.

Many residents were killed in May when suspected militants raided Bama Town, killing mostly children and women.

Violence has intensified in northeastern Nigeria since President Goodluck Jonathan ordered his security forces in May to crush Boko Haram's four-year-old rebellion.

The Nigerian forces have been raiding militant camps and launching air and ground attacks on suspected hideouts of the militants over the past two months.

Borno State, located in Nigeria's northeast region, is a flashpoint of attacks perpetrated by Boko Haram since 2009, when the sect launched its insurgency targeting churches, security facilities, schools and villages.

PatriotZAR: @rka1, I asked for info on Nigerian Airforce Training, NOT the entire History of your Airforce! Come on @rka1.

Please post something along these lines:

''To solo on the Gripen should typically take new pilots FIVE YEARS, 2 Squadron's operation officer, Lt.Col Musa ''Midnite'' Mbhokota told journalists in October... This includes Basic Military Training(Three Months), Officers Forming Course( a further three months), the Military Academy(One year) and basic piloting training(One Year). The latter includes 150hours on the Pilatus PC7 MKII. Next follows some 390hours on the Hawk at 85 CFS before posting to 2 Squadron where conversion to the Gripen takes place... Six weeks in the Classroom followed by 70hours on the Squadron Level Missiom Trainer( Flight Simulation), then 70hours on the aircraft. Both periods include 30hours of conversion training, 20hours of Air Warfare training, then lastly six sorties to Solo''

You asked whether NAF have trained pilots and I gave you a low down and now you are whinging. There is Ab-initio training through to advanced training. In fact, during the start-up period when there was a gap in training as a result of the sanctions imposed during the military era, several pilots were sent to belarus. On their return, they had to be re-trained in (split into 2 groups of five each) Nigeria because the NAF were not happy with the quality of training given.

They are now fully fledged pilots. That's how stringent training is and standards expected. Google is your friend. I can't do do your work for you.

Nigeria military hunts Islamists after daring barracks attack [/b]December 21, 2013 12:07 PM (Last updated: December 21, 2013 06:23 PM)

KANO, [b]Nigeria: Nigeria's military has surrounded a village in the northeast to flush out Islamist rebels who fled there after reportedly snatching soldiers' wives and children during a daring attack on an army barracks nearby, witnesses told AFP Saturday.

Suspected Boko Haram fighters stormed the barracks in the town of Bama early on Friday, spraying it with bullets before torching the compound.

Several Bama residents told AFP the insurgents also abducted several of the soldiers' wives and children during the attack.

Asked about those details, northeastern military spokesman Mohammed Dole refered AFP to Nigeria's defence headquarters.

Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade could not be reached for comment.

Bama residents said the Boko Haram gunmen fled to the nearby village of Abbaram after the attack, where the military sent hundreds of troops on Saturday.

"The soldiers have besieged the village and more troops are deploying in hundreds," said Ibrahim Idris.

"Nothing is happening yet but from the huge number of troops deploying and the large number of Boko Haram in the village one can imagine what may happen".

Karim Bunu, who also lives in Bama, described Abbaram as a village of some 250 people.

"We are afraid of what will happen to the people of Abbaram because whichever way one looks at it, they are facing a serious security threat," he told AFP.

A third resident, who requested anonymity, said the Islamists were holding in Abbaram the "women and children of soldiers," who had been kidnapped during the Friday attack, in an account supported by both Idris and Bunu.

In November, Human Rights Watch reported that Boko Haram has increasingly used kidnappings as a tactic, abducting scores of women and children this year.

After staging an attack on the military, the insurgents typically flee to far away camps to evade pursuing troops, but their escape was slowed on Friday by fighter jets which dropped bombs on the major routes leading out of Bama, according to the military and witnesses.

"I counted 18 burnt all-terrain vans belonging to the Boko Haram gunmen pulverised by military jets," said the unnamed resident, who identified himself as a member of a military-backed vigilante force which has formed in the northeast to fight the insurgents.

Air force jets continued to fly over the region on Saturday, residents said.

The Bama attack was the second major Islamist assault on the army this month, casting further doubt on official claims that the rebels have been weakened by a seven-month-old military offensive in the northeast.

Boko Haram's four-year insurgency, which has killed thousands, is aimed at creating a strict Islamic state in Nigeria's mainly Muslim north.

The group has been declared a terrorist organisation by the United States.
