Millions of atheists all over the world are still standing on their belief and claims that there is no God, so that means God does not exist?

It's a free world, anybody can believe whatever he likes to believe.

BBC has admitted that it copies news about Boko Haram war from Facebook....LOL....and from people who had fled out of Baga yet giving casualty figures when the did not wait to count dead bodies, high speed run away escapees giving BBC war report and BBC published it across the world, I thought the white people said they are more intelligent than we blacks....LOL....Facebook is British source of battlefield report....LOL

Pity you !

So poorly informed you didn't know Chad is secretly supporting Boko Haram. Just weeks ago, Nigerian army displayed dead Chadian fighters we killed inside Nigerian towns.

If Nigerian army is not winning, Boko Haram will be ruling an Islamic republic inside Maiduguri and marching towards Abuja.

Ask Mali, their army and air force was pushed from north to the gates of capital city Bamako until France sent military forces to save Mali.

SANDF has NO GBADS air defense system in service today, you wait till 2017 and that will be shifted till 2020 because SANDF is broke, no money, all equipment purchase is suspended indefinitely.

Your ground search radars are not air search radars, SANDF does not have 500km mobile search radar unless you can prove it

we allready have the first two phases in operation (star-streak and mobile radars)

Phase 4 is the last phase and is the implimentation of strategic missile defence.

Starstreak is the most advanced SHORAD missile in the world and when the GBADS project is completed we will have the most advanced GBADS SYSTEM in Africa.

Yet again, Nigerians cannot comprehend that while their military buys random assets the SANDF is building SYSTEMS of complementary equipment.

Do those white countries have journalists inside Baga war zone? White men....and Boko Haram has not beheaded them on you tube? LOL.

They all copied BBC report on trust but it has now backfired, they copied lies .

British army failed in Afghanistan after 11 years of hopeless combat, the terrorists still rule the Afghan countryside unchallenged !

"The US may have generated vast amounts of data in terms of the number of kills but the military operation has been proven largely counter-productive and led to a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan. The US too lost 2350 soldiers. But is the US leaving behind a better Afghanistan at least in terms of peace, security and stability? No! Like Iraq, it is leaving behind yet another unfinished, botched up and shoddy job in Afghanistan.

Taliban are more threatening and dangerous than pre-9/11. According to the UN, the number of civilian casualties caused by violence in Afghanistan is at an all-time high. In the first eight months of 2014, 2,312 civilians were killed and 4,533 injured, a 15 per cent increase over the same period last year--reported Jan Kubis, the UN representative in Afghanistan to the UN Security Council in September. The first six months of the year saw a 24 per cent increase.

One needs to analyze the reasons behind the military and strategic failure of the US in Afghanistan."

British and American army are ALL cowards, they refused to go meet Taliban inside the villages and local areas, now 2015 the white nations armies are withdrawing in failure after 11 years of useless cowardly war in Afghanistan fighting mere illiterate terrorists, same British that call Nigerian army cowards, what are they? Cowards of her royal majesty the Queens army grin grin

Below is the full text of the NSA’s speech.

FULL TEXT OF THE SPEECH

Nigeria’s Insecurity: Insurgency, Corruption, Elections and the Management of Multiple Threats
By Mohammed Sambo Dasuki, National Security Adviser
at the Chatham House – United Kingdom
January 22, 2015

Protocol

1. Events in our recent history have thrust us into the glare ofworld attention in ways that have not always reflected us in our best light. The paradox of modern Nigeria is that while we have proudly emerged as the largest economy in Africa, and a viable investment and trade destination, a raging insurgency and perhaps our early management of it as well as uncertainty in some circles over the possible outcome of the impending elections have heightened interest in Nigeria. I, therefore thank the organizers of this event for giving me an opportunity to address the issues of insurgency, corruption and the 2015 elections.


2. After a somewhat turbulent past, Nigerian’s on the whole have come to accept that the best hope for meeting our nation’s aspirations is in continuing and deepening our democratic growth. This year marks for us an unprecedented decade and a half of uninterrupted democracy. However, this has not come without challenges, a civil war, truncated attempts at democracy; multiple military coups weakened our institutions and severely affected our ability to respond to some current threats.

3. Today a raging insurgency in the north east, allegations of high level corruption and a hotly contested national election is fuelling anxiety both at home and abroad about the future of Nigeria.

4. I wish to use this opportunity to highlight our responses and preparedness.

INSURGENCY

5. The real and existential threat posed by Boko Haram is perhaps a millennial challenge; how we approach it will have immediate as well as generational consequences. It will determine how we reform our institutions, define our fundamental values, the capacities we develop and the tools we use to address and prevent future threats. When a nation’s citizens take up arms against their fellow brothers and sisters, operate outside acceptable rules and norms of their society, kill and maim innocent civilians, including women and children, kidnap young children, and force pre­teen girls to blow themselves up in public spaces, it calls for deep introspection.

6. In the run up to the elections Boko Haram have escalated their campaign, seizing territory and hoisting their flag, they have 3burned down whole villages, ransacked communities, raped young girls and continued to kidnap both boys and girls. They have openly declared support for ISIS and expanded their campaign into neighbouring Cameroon and Niger Republics.

7. Nation’s that have been directly affected by terrorism have shown us how difficult it is to eradicate. The terrorists utilize their abundant imagination for evil, to inflict the maximum horror on communities conscious of the fact that states must be guided in their responses by rules, the law, their own values and respect for civilian lives and property.

8. It is my belief that any response to terrorism must be long term, holistic and robust enough to address its root causes. It must be guided by a law and order approach that utilizes both hard and soft approaches. The tenacity, organizational capability, ability to attract illicit funds, motivation of Boko Haram fighters and the fact that they embed themselves within civilian populations has perhaps helped to prolong the conflict in the North East.

9. Historical deficits in our military institutions including the fact that the last significant procurement of equipment was done over two decades ago, the inability of the government to buy the weapons needed in a timely manner, the need for a philosophical as well as operation shift from conventional warfare to asymmetric warfare in towns and communities teeming with millions of civilians as well as human rights accusations have greatly affected the military campaign.

10. In the last year multiple changes have been made in our prosecution of the war against insurgency, this includes greater training for the military in the handling of sophisticated arms and the use of technology, greater capacity building in counter insurgency training and wide scale training throughout the armed forces on rules of engagement and respect for human rights.
Additionally we are working on a new civil military relations doctrine that will redefine how the military relates to the general public, especially in places where it carries out counter insurgency operations. It will clearly spell out guidelines for civilian protection in all its operations.

11. To complement the military approach in the last two years we have set up a National Counter Terrorism Centre which has brought all agencies involved in combating terrorism in Nigeria under one roof, thereby enhancing coordination and ensuring greater synergy. An intelligence Fusion Centre now serves as a key component of the National Counter Terrorism Centre which serves as a processing point for all­source intelligence.

12. Conscious of the regional threat posed by Boko Haram, we have been working on multiple fronts with our neighbours in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Benin, sharing intelligence as well as personnel in joint border patrols as well as through a multinational task force.

13. The Counter­radicalization strand focuses on the prevention of radicalization through building community resilience, education, engagement with the religious environment and economic empowerment. Through this stream we will directly counter the drivers of radicalization. Community engagement is at the core of these efforts. We are in the process of creating systems and structures that will foster visible community cohesion and provide youths with alternative spaces to have their voices heard. Without the space for growth and self­actualization, youths are more easily led astray. Violent extremists prey on identity issues, offering a sense of belonging and a sense of worth. It is with this in mind that we are putting projects in place with the aim of reforming Nigeria’s education landscape. Our objective is to create a generation of citizens with the capacity for critical thinking and logical reasoning, who understand core national values and who are prepared for the global age we live in. We aim to improve inter­faith relations and encourage dialogue, while creating greater economic opportunity for Nigerians.

14. Strategic Communications forms another pillar of the CVE Programme. Through Strategic Communications we are working to counter extremist ideology and narratives. We plan to undermine their credibility by presenting the true face of Islam. In the case of Boko Haram, narratives are founded on a set of core beliefs that are opposed to the state and aspects of education. Our response targets those that hold radical views, and the population at large aiming to further diminish tolerance for extremists’ rhetoric.

15. Nigeria has developed a robust countering violent extremism program that focuses on the root causes of terrorism, addressing them through four main streams. The De­radicalization stream focuses on prison­based interventions. Although prisons are potential incubators of radicalization; they also offer the best option for rehabilitation. The de­radicalization stream aims to reintegrate convicted violent extremist of enders back into society.

16. The fourth stream is a Presidential Initiative for the north east which targets economic revitalization, infrastructure development, job creation, a program to protect schools and the care of internally displaced persons as well as victims of terrorism.

17. Finally we remain open to a negotiated settlement to end the insurgency should Boko Haram express willingness to dialogue.

CORRUPTION

18. For Nigeria to address the underlying conditions conducive to the spread of violent extremism leading to insurgency, the cancerous menace of corruption must be fought with all elements of its national power. In order to build badly needed infrastructure, put our children in schools, ignite economic activities and accelerate upward mobility for a majority of our people we must address elite greed and weak institutions that make it impossible for national resources to be applied appropriately. Corruption must also be seen by the international community as a threat to international security and take even stricter measures to make it difficult for corrupt people to enjoy the proceeds of illegitimate earnings. There is a link between terrorism financing and weak international financial systems that allow the movement of stolen resources.

19. Corruption is both a major cause and a result of poverty around the world. It occurs at all levels of society from local and national governments, civil society, judiciary functions, large and small businesses, to the military and other services.

20. In Nigeria, much attention has been paid to the issue of corruption, especially in government establishments. However not much attention has been given to the efforts of successive governments to address the issue. It is to the credit of the successive administrations in Nigeria, since 1999, that many institutions have been established to deal with corruption especially within government circles and private businesses.

21. The institutions are:
a. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission –EFCC.
b. The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission – ICPC.
c. The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit – NFIU.

22. These institutions, since their establishment have performed creditably as acknowledged by Nigeria’s international collaborators. Many politicians, serving or retired have been fingered based on petitions received and investigated and prosecuted where concrete evidence of corruption has been established.

23. It has to be realised that changes concerning any socio­economic or psycho­social problem in any society will take time, it cannot come overnight, and it has to be gradual. Tackling issues of corruption in Nigeria must have the buy in of the general populace; it is not only a problem for government alone to deal with without the active support of the citizens, who will be the beneficiaries of a corruption free society.

2015 ELECTIONS

24. Anxiety over the peaceful conduct of the 2015 general elections has continued to grow both at home and abroad, fuelled by the memories of the post­election violence that occurred after the 2011 elections. Boko Haram who have repeatedly expressed their disdain for the democratic process have also escalated their campaign over this period, further adding to the sense of instability.

25. In a country of 170 million people elections have not been without their challenges, most especially pre and post­election violence, allegations of rigging, delayed delivery of ballot boxes, names left of ballot papers, desperation of some politicians to win at all costs are some examples.
Experience, most especially after the 2011 general elections has shown that some of the most serious challenges to election security could emerge spontaneously or due to perceptions, of irregularities during the voting process, which then reflected in what some people concluded were unfavourable election results.

26. Other challenges that we anticipate include the ability of INEC and the state to protect sensitive election related material as well as the provision of adequate security for electoral officers. This will help to ensure the integrity of the process.

27. Among the steps being taken is the setting up of an Inter­Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security –ICCES. The ICCES consists of top INEC officials, commissioners, directors and heads of departments, with representation from all the security agencies, including my office. For the first time in the history of election security in Nigeria, the country has a platform responsible for the coordination of security matters and pooling resources, particularly personnel in dealing with security challenges. Security services have promptly intervened and prevented potential crisis situations that could have gotten out of hand across the country. ICCES has continuously taken measures to upgrade its activities and ensure its effectiveness at both the state, and especially the local government levels.

28. In addition the electoral commission is retraining security personnel on their roles and functions at polling units. Sensitisation workshops such as the one currently embarked upon by the Presidential Committee on Small Arms and Light Weapons (PRESCOM) in the six geo­political zones of the country, with the theme; Ballots Without Bullets raise the awareness of Nigerian citizens across the country to the destructiveness of electoral violence and the need for youths to avoid being used by politicians. The National Orientation Agency and other civil society organisations including a group led by eminent well respected elders are also involved in similar sensitisation programmes across the country. Given the importance of how the conduct of the election is communicated, including the accurate and timely reporting of results, INEC staf s are being trained on strategic communication.

29. However, election security matters cannot be left solely to security agencies and INEC to manage. All other stakeholders, such as the media, community leaders and political parties have a significant role to play in the task of ensuring a peaceful atmosphere during the conduct of elections. Recently all the presidential candidates and their parties agreed to curb the use of hate speech and work towards violence free, fair and credible elections by signing what is now referred to as the Abuja Accord.

30. Given the above, the 2015 elections are expected to be relatively peaceful and violence free. The Federal Government has taken all necessary measures to ensure this by making adequate provisions for INEC, security agencies and by supporting numerous sensitisation programs.

31. We are conscious that there is some anxiety about whether elections will hold in the north east and the ability of the government to ensure that the internally displaced will be able to vote.

32. Our answer to both of those is yes. As far as is possible we are determined that adequate security will be in place to enable elections in all the areas in the north east that are safe, and that the IDP’s will be provided with the opportunity to exercise their vote.

33. The emergence of a seemingly viable opposition, as well asthe closeness of the race is a clear demonstration of our maturing democracy. Greater voter awareness also means that people are more engaged in the electoral process and determined to protect their right to vote. We on our part are doing all we can to ensure that every Nigerian who wants to vote is able to and that their vote will count.

CONCLUSION

34. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have attempted to present Nigeria’s most pressing security threat and demonstrated that this threat is both local and global. The question is whether the world will show the same and commensurate concern to the rising terrorism in parts of Nigeria as it does in other parts of the world. I have also shown that while we continue to face the debilitating effects of corruption we have taken steps to build strong institutions and strengthen our laws in addressing it. As we continue to do this we call on the global community to further address the corrupting influence of big companies and rich countries. I finally submitted that successive elections in Nigeria have improved and lessons learnt in 2011 are now being practiced in preparation towards the 2015 elections. The INEC has a strong team and government has ensured adequate funding and capacity enhancement while putting in place strong coordination mechanisms between the electoral body and other stakeholders.

35. It is my firm belief that Nigeria will emerge stronger, manage her threats better and improve on governance. We are taking these careful but sure steps at the moment. The terrorist threat has focused us on the right path. We have developed a new national security strategy that puts our people at the heart of our efforts, a national counter terrorism strategy that employs both hard and soft power and an economic revitalization plan that will bring succor to those most vulnerable and those affected by violence. We continue to reach out to members of the international community to stand with us as we strive to build a united and prosperous country.

36. Thank you for listening

Yes, that is a fixed radar - well done. Pity no one was talking about it

I am talking about the ESR220 (pic 1) aquired under GBADS Phase 1 (allready been deployed to Sudan amongst other places)

And the Plessy TMR (pic 2, 3 and 4)

Which are all mobile air search radar systems

You have none

Yet another feild SANDF surpasses you in

Do those white countries have journalists inside Baga war zone? White men....and Boko Haram has not beheaded them on you tube? LOL.

They all copied BBC report on trust but it has now backfired, they copied lies .

British army failed in Afghanistan after 11 years of hopeless combat, the terrorists still rule the Afghan countryside unchallenged !

"The US may have generated vast amounts of data in terms of the number of kills but the military operation has been proven largely counter-productive and led to a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan. The US too lost 2350 soldiers. But is the US leaving behind a better Afghanistan at least in terms of peace, security and stability? No! Like Iraq, it is leaving behind yet another unfinished, botched up and shoddy job in Afghanistan.

Taliban are more threatening and dangerous than pre-9/11. According to the UN, the number of civilian casualties caused by violence in Afghanistan is at an all-time high. In the first eight months of 2014, 2,312 civilians were killed and 4,533 injured, a 15 per cent increase over the same period last year--reported Jan Kubis, the UN representative in Afghanistan to the UN Security Council in September. The first six months of the year saw a 24 per cent increase.

One needs to analyze the reasons behind the military and strategic failure of the US in Afghanistan."

British and American army are ALL cowards, they refused to go meet Taliban inside the villages and local areas, now 2015 the white nations armies are withdrawing in failure after 11 years of useless cowardly war in Afghanistan fighting mere illiterate terrorists, same British that call Nigerian army cowards, what are they? Cowards of her royal majesty the Queens army grin grin

That is a ground search radar and air traffic control equipment for low flying landing aircraft near an airport, according to your own source !

Dude, you are either a poor quality troll or a massive fool

The ESR 220 system is a highly mobile solid state L-band 2D surveillance radar designed to provide early warning to mechanised troops in the battlefield. It is a fully autonomous armoured system with self-contained power plant packaged on a single vehicle, and is capable of being fully operational within 10 minutes of arrival at the deployment site.

The system also provides for a combined air picture derived from primary radar and IFF, as well as a Command and Control system for effective Air Defence Control operation.

Shame on you British news media and your permanent South African salves on nairaland, Nigerian army is the best black army in the world....a black power you don't want to exist, has already arrived tongue tongue tongue

The delusional rants of a child

Nigeria has one of the worst militarys in the world, poorly trained, equipped, led and motivated

They have been defeated multiple times by men on pickup trucks

They have to buy their own unfiroms, medical supplies and equipment

What a trash army, for a trashy failed state

Fact remains, we have mobile radar systems - which have been deployed to as far as South Sudan in order to perform air-search duties.

I said so, it is a ground search radar with limited air capability like any other ground search radar, same with Nigeria's RASIT radar, it will pick up air targets along with ground targets, but it is basically a ground search radar, your source did NOT call it a dedicated air search radar.

It does air traffic control for low flying aircraft landing at South Sudan airport, aircraft close to the ground, not high altitude jets !

Show me it's data sheet that calls it an air search radar, you have NONE grin grin

If those are your dedicated SANDF air search radars as you claim, now show us your ground search radars....

Whose flag flies in Abuja?

NATO troops dare not go into mountains and all countryside of Afghanistan to fight Taliban, white cowards.

Why is Taliban still controlling many towns and remote areas of Afghanistan after 11 years of NATO massive forces 100 times bigger than what Nigeria has in NE, fighting in Afghanistan and now running back home to London when Taliban still controls large chunck of lands?

Why did NATO not go flush out and kill all these terrorists?....White man cowardly army ! LOL !

Almost half of Afghanistan is still controlled by Taliban, yet British army is retreating like cowards back to London !

Second, they have an air search range of 120km

You posted a 2010 old story like your dusty project Biro.

Today 2015 SANDF has not GBADS systems from Germany in SANDF service. You have paper request, you have no money to pay for it, you gave us NO proof of any German GBADS equipment delivered to SANDF based on that contract. Starstreak and GDF 004 have been existing in SANDF as British and Swedish weapons, show me the German equipment and installations this 2015 .....none grin grin

All radars close to the ground will do that, Shilka is air search but picks up ground target.

SANDF ground search radar will pick up low air borne targets same as an old Shilka air defence radar will do both air and land detection.

SANDF does NOT have any dedicated mobile air search radar, Nigeria too has RASIT that can do both jobs.

Stop fooling yourself, my girlfriend is not a virgin just because I say so.

GBADS is the name of the overall project, it includes mobile air search radars (which have been acquired), VSHORAD (which has been acquired), CRAM (being acquired) and SHORAD (in the pipeline) - see the picture attached, GBADS is the name of the system we are building

Get your facts straight before you comment on something

With regards to SKYSHEILD CRAM upgrade - the project finishes in 2017 (contract has been signed and upgrades are underway)

The contract was signed some days ago. Including logistics and training services with the complete package scheduled for completion by 2017

I see you cannot prove your army has any mobile air search radar, cool surrender .

GBADS is not un service with SANDF, stop twisting tales, or I too can claim JF-17 Thunder jets entered NAF service with PGM yesterday.

Your fvcking SANDF Starstreak missile CANNOT work with radar, it's a fvcking 1km ceiling toy missile, the type used by rebels all over the world, a fvcking shoulder carried anti-aircraft missile
.

The SANDF already has command system of GBADS as part of phase 1 of the project, soon it will take delivery of SHORAD Umkhonto misssiles to compliment the VSHORAD Starstreak.

They're guided by radar.

The Thutlwa early warning radar was deployed to South Sudan during their independence celebrations to help with air traffic control.
