ZombieNation: We should scale up our technology but that doesn't rule out the need for more man power in Nigeria military. And stop comparing us with US and other countries. There military are complaining too. By the way why won't they want to reduce military personnel when Russia with less than Nigerian population has over 700,000 active personnel and almost 2.5million active military reserve making over 3million force personnel; USA has about 4million personnel and China about 2.5million military personnel. Nigeria has less than 160,000 personnel including reserve. DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT. NO REASON FOR COMPARISON AT ALL. 1 Like |

EternalTruths: Unlike Nigeria Switzerland are a neutral country in all conflicts, who have a mandatory military service for all men at the age of 18, essentially all men of fighting age and many women are an army reserve. They have a permanent reserve force, they are also a small nation with a geographical advantage that can be difficult for an invading force. 1 Like |

This is insanity at its appex.... Most people who just want to be supportive of this government will always hail every crazy move irrespective of the bad effect.... Larger number of military don't win wars for you .... This is not 1980s .... To me it just a very calculated move to give some region job and get them busy ... Funny enough all this men will not think before they go to the press.. although they knew that most Nigerians citizens buy whatever they sell 2 Likes |

tonychristopher: Here comes someone who has little knowledge of military tactics and war plans. The main question we need to ask is if we have enough men in the armed forces to secure our wide expanse of land as it is right now. The answer remains no, hopefully a great number of those new intakes would be military professionals,architects, engineers etc who can reduce our dependency on foreign technology in our defence structure. |

ZombieNation: While I agree with you on some issues, I'll like you to do the maths. China with all its technological advancement had a 3million strength army for a population of 1.5billion.

xxgig: Even if China reduce their army to 1.5 million that is still 10% of their population, our armed forces is not even enough using any mathematical ratio to our land space or population We have one soldier for every 1500 persons , that is pathetic by any standard. |

Foolishness of the highest order. In a time most of the developed nations are scaling down on the numerical strength of their military in preference of a lean mean killing machine, this dunce thinks modern warfare is down to the number of potential bullet catchers. This move is geared towards absolviing more of his illiterate bokos into the army which he intends to send to their graves fighting jihad for Saudi Arabia. Stop demonstrating illiteracy in the public and saying what u don't know.America , Russia and China have more than one million army personnel. Let the nonsense continue under the dullard [/quote] |

ZombieNation: Comparing first world country with third world country You're not even smart, russia has 2million army, just in reserve alone China has 510,000 in reserve, the united states has over 800,000 just in reserve and you are crying because of 150,000? And when Russian, us and china tell you they are scaling down their armed forces, you'd believe them? Once a slave always a slave.

those against this decision are ipobians and biafrans for the fear of crack down in case they raise insurgency in SS. It will be foolish for anyone to think Nigeria should be scaling down its army, what advance military hardware do we have to replace or compensate for the inadequate manned power. what would have Nigeria to scale down its army had been used for GEJ fail reelection campaign #DasikuGate. Less you guys forget, the numbers is going to be raise over 10 years not just this year alone. Open your brain to this : if FG is going to create employment where else do you expect them look into, or you expected them to absolve the unemployed to banks. the wailers are becoming zombie themselves 1 Like |

Number 1, nigeria z a 3RD WORLD COUNTRY & has nat become as advanced as the whites so it is expected she boast of a size_able military force dah can be able 2 counter challenges mostly associated with 3rd world countries e.g insurgency {boko haram}, islamist terrorism & terrorism {boko haram & niger delta terrorist blowing up pipelines nd terrorizing companies}, rebel militants e.t.c Number 2; Remember during d last administration, the millions earmarked to better equip d nigerian army to enuf sophistication 2 counter terrorism & insurgency buh 'CORRUPTION JUST ATE DAT' Naw oil prices are low & we might nat be rich as before to purchase doz costly military technologies n large numbers so dey should recruit more 'government men of death' Its just d way it is.. Besides we are 180million we need up 2 500 thousand soilders..
