You enjoy putting these rubb..ish here.

What are "contemporary African threats"?

Africa is not a country.

You seem to be suffering from acute Malaria.

The Nigerian military has been in constant engagement all across Africa for the past 25 years.

African threats are currently and have almost always been low intensity warfare.

The Nigerian military has spear-hearded almost all significant engagements in Africa.

In that period we have built the most extensive infrastructure, manpower, training and equipment to deal with these threats.

With the advent of terrorism, we have adapted and continue to expand our already extensive capability.

Pick one area, Army, Navy or Air Force, i'll detail what we have built and how no one compares?

Chances of Malaria infecting a South African are lower than a Nigeria.

Africa is not a country.

Current threats shouldn't dictate strategic planning. After World war 2 South Africa politicians ignored warnings of scientists and military leaders as they thought peace will reign forever and essential frontline equipment can source from Britian.

Majority of Nigeria's engagements have been against not so well led and equipped none state actors.

Are you saying Nigeria has better doctrine development institutions than all countries in SSA? Covering sea, land, air and space. I don't think so.

Current threats as well as past experiences dictate and future threat assessments dictate strategic planning in Nigeria. That doesn't seem to be the case in South Africa.

Yes, majority of Nigerian have been against non-state actors, however you have not added two significant wars. The war against Tchad and Cameroun. Two nations we roundly defeated, Infact in the case of Tchad, we pushed them close to N'Djamena.

The non-state actors we have faced have been well armed, and have deployed non-conventional tactics.

I am saying considering the threats most African countries south of the Sahara face, given the assessment of these threats and for the foreseeable future, not only do we have the best doctrine institutions, we are also the best equipped to deal with these threats.

Non...sense tell me one Nigerian institution comparable to CSIR.

You never really defeated Chad or Cameroon. Remember the military holds the line until politicians decide to head to the table.

Let me recommend these two books by two great authors Eye of the firestorm by Major General Roland de vries and War in Angola (The final South African phase) by Helmoed Heitman.

The National Defence College in Abuja.

We completely defeated both Tchad and Cameroun. Like i told you, we pushed Tchad almost close to N'Djamena, Cameroun was saved by a UN court decision.

Why did you mention the mod when you knew very well you were serving a ban?

Look up rule 19.

Stop complaining, at least you still have your original account active. Mine was banned for 5 years.

We've all served bans, no worries.
