Guy you are on your own , in Enugu State I have seen the Innoson cars on the road ranging from their jeep to the small sedan , is also in Anambra state if you haven't seen them , it is nobody's fault except that of your two eyes.

SirShymexx:


Did you do geography in School? Algeria isn't anywhere near Israel.

And it modernised its military because of AQIM Islamic militants, and maybe France to an extent, not Israel.

ROSSIKE:
You have a very myopic view of the world. Every Arab state beefed up its military heavily following the Arab-Israeli war.

SirShymexx:


Oh, the "Giant of Africa" isn't on the same level as South Africa, no? - interesting.

How about Iran? Technologically and militarily, Iran is far ahead of South Africa - the country is an intellectual property. So, what's the excuse for celebrating mediocrity and non-achievement?

ozoigbondu:
Our millitary are now into local thanks to america hypocrisy.They should increase production and expand what they produce to small arms and APC.We shall and will overcome boko haram

#NeverAgain shall we allow a coup plotter who destroyed our democracy to contest for a democratic election
#NeverAgain shall we go backward rather than MARCHing FORWARD
#NeverAgain shall we be deceived by the numerous APC propaganda
#NeverAgain shall we lose hope in our beloved country Nigeria
#NeverAgain shall we lose faith in our military due to APC lies

Never Again!

God Bless Nigeria!
God Bless the millitary
God Bless Goodluck Jonathan

I don't derive joy from antagonising the country - I'm just a real guy and I speak the truth. See, the truth is always bitter, and it's good to give folks reality check all the time. These folks have zero expectations, and they exist in their own little world - but there are standards out there. You can't keep celebrating mediocrity, once you start doing that, you'll never achieve anything tangible in life.

If I like Nigeria or not is out of the equation. However, I do know I'm connected to the place, and I want to see it compete at the top - not at the bottom with minnows. That's a country which was meant to be the saviour of the black world - but the story of Nigeria has been a huge disappointment, and arguably the biggest bust in history.

Is the APC decent? - yes, it's and I did allude to that. Is it worth celebrating as an achievement? - absolutely not. However, I'm just questioning why they didn't deploy them to the front-line since they're readily accessible in the country. Why should a proper military be driving Hilux trucks everywhere, when they've got APCs assembled in the country? - it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Malcolm X defined patriotism as: “You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.” I think a lot of you need to learn from this quote.

SirShymexx:


Lol. You're a gift that keeps on giving.

So, basically there was an Arab-Israeli war in noughties (2000s) when Algeria started modernising its military due to AQIM? - hysterical.

Just stop, Rose.

Anyway, go post pictures of the new supermarkets in Lagos. You haven't posted any for time.

ROSSIKE:
Dunce...the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1948, not "2000s", plus Israeli collaboration with France against Algeria in the 1950s all led to the latter developing its military in line with the threats it faced.

centje:
As at 2013, I saw these vehicles at Sani Abacha Baracks, Asokoro.
Who ever engineered the removal of Ihejirika does have the good of Nigeria at heart.

The Igirigi APC is the Nigerian Army's locally manufactured armoured personnel carrier.

Designed and manufactured by the army Corps of Engineers, the APC was first introduced to the media during the 2012 Nigeria Army Day celebrations (NADCEL). While actual specs of the vehicle are still undisclosed, observers noted the remote control weapons station, and its IED deflecting V shaped hull.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika,said the local production of APC had saved the nation at least 30 per cent of the cost of the foreign version and that the unveiling of the APC was part of the ongoing reform in the military and in line with the transformation agenda of the Jonathan administration.[1]

In 2013, during events to mark the 150th year anniversary of the Nigeria Army, A desert camouflaged Igirigi with a 20mm gun led the parade of vehicles drawn up from various formations in the country at the Armed Forces review, which took place at Abuja.

Amya:

You do know that to "compete" with those countries at the top, we have to start from somewhere. Previous governments have done nothing to harness our production capacity. The present government is doing it. If you're expecting to wake up from terrible to magnificent, you're in delusion then. It has to go from terrible- not so terrible- mediocre- above mediocre good and finally magnificent. We will get there someday. Generally I'm more of a realist than an optimist so I'm not hinging my bets on good faith and optimism, but rather on what I see on ground.

I'll play my part (no matter how little) in making my country the envy of nations. I'll never soil my hands in corrupt practices and sensitize people around me on the need to not involve involve themselves in corruption which is the root cause of Nigeria's problem. It may be slow, but we'll surely get there.

To the reason why our army still drive around in hilux vehicles rather than APC's, that I'm not privy to. Whatever the reason though, I trust it's for the good of the nation and her citizenry.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

I don't want to get into the politics, and make this thread a political one. Let's leave it in the militarily context. However, I'll say this government has to be the worst one I've ever observed. The only thing it's doing is extreme corruption - and basically the total destruction of the structures in the country. I'll leave there.

To start from somewhere, you've to start with institutions, infrastructures, and the economy. However, Nigeria hasn't started anything - it's still in the doldrums. If you were a realist, you'd know that by now.

Also, take a look at the number of innocent folks that have died in the Boko Haram saga and all the suicide bombings - and correlate it with the lackadaisical approach they have taken thus far in combating it. That alone should give you a clearer picture of where the country is right now. It took a small country like Chad to get involved, for them to make tangible progress.

I don't blame you was Nigeria not trying to buy weapons from Western sources but were shunned? Do you know how much US and Russia spend on the weapons program? Do you know the state of the Nigerian arm forces before he came on board as President? It was not until the elections were postponed that other countries including China, France and USA got involved in the fight. Why do you London people insist on putting Tinubu in power while you will not suffer it abroad?
