For your information, Nigeria is roughly the size of Texas state.

The US military is not only a defense force but the spear tip of US neo colonialism from which her foreign policy and interests are projected and maintained.

They have both the numerical and technological capabilities to achieve both their defense and international policies.


What will 200,000 semi illiterates equipped with rusty AK-47 cloned riffles bought from Pakistan do for you?


If you must know, Buhari is strengtning the military for his own political interests.

Buhari as a one time member of the biggest armed political party in Africa (if not the world ) was able to subvert a democratic govt and implant himself as supreme military dictator.


By expanding his army, Buhari is creating brown shirts for himself.

He has studied how Hezbollah has used their military wing to maintain power and how the house of Saud relies on its military to maintain supremacy .

You may not see it now, but maybe in the next decade but Buhari will drag the military prominently back into the polecat arena.

Those of you comparing Nigeria to the super powers pls think again. Those countries have the rss to invest in advanced techy, while we dont. Can you compare how much to build those techy and maintenance to maintaining the Nigerian army? Nawa for una o.

We civilians should feel really threatened about this news, rather than better protected. The other day, we woke up to the news of a recruit dealing mercilessly with a civilian that only complemented her.
Imagine 100,000 more recruits entering the system, how are we going to be able to walk the streets? I'll rather they invest in drones and more advanced weaponry for the available personnel.

Do you know the definition of a reserve force from a regular army?

You need that education urgently

****nigeria has zero reserve
I mentioned their reserve because you were ranting about scaling down bullshit.

If they have that much in their reserve, what scaling down did they do? Their active army is 4times more than ours and you're talking shit about scaling?

I knew you wont have any argument than to point out one word "reserve" now that linked the proof to your face.

Keep crying buhari a river.

What do you understand about reserves?


Reserves are drawn from discharged personel and officers or those on short service who are engaged on weekends and used only during national emergencies and are a last line of home defense.



Reserves are not paid! It is a voluntariy force.

And the US military annual budget is $500bn .

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.

Mr military strategist ..war is t won on the population of soldiers but sophistication and intelligence of few

This is why isreal won the war
This is why Biafra took years to fight when they called it police action
This is why Rome and British ruled the world with few army


Oga a well modernized drone with anti ballistic and air to surface missile can do what a battalion and infantiry can do

A well sub marine can wreck devastating effects on a city like say port Harcourt and Lagos in 24 hours then some few tropues maybe a brigade will do the mopping up


Having bunch of 200k military won't guarantee peace

If you have ever travelled to developed countries you won't be seeing police everywhere but CCTV and IPTV ..this is technology ....technology will do the work of thousands men put together ...tats is modern missile


When ISIL was making noise Russian sent missile like thousands miles to nuke or bombard them from Caspian Sea ...the devastating effects t was colosal..this is why nations invest in research and development but here in nigeria we want to recruit tons and tons of men

Oga this is 21st century ...its technology that rules every thing even military

gagewonda:

You dey mind them.


This move just re-enforces my belief that the Nigerian army which is a legacy of the British colonialists was and still is a military occupation force and not one designed for existential threats.

A mere look at military formations across the nation proves that the army is deployed not for defense but to prevent dissent.

By allowing a larger personnel, they hope to achieve their objective of controlling the civilian populace.

With a well disciplined and professional division headed by intelligent commanders and the right logistic boko haram can easily be dislodged.


By hiring more bullet catchers , the army will be saddled with more overhead costs and little left for training and equipment.And the only way they can maintain a sort of semblance of discipline and unity within the army is to make surE it is drawn along ethnic lines thereby creating a sense of occupation among the minds of non northernerS.

In this 21st century, numerical strength is total rubbish .


This move just exposed Buhari's outdated military knowledge and his ambition of creating a politicized militia.

This will not in any way bennefit the nation.

Is the army waging war on its citizens?

The US population is 350 million but they are scaling down on their army

China has come out to state that it will reduce its military force of 3 million to a million. This is China with over 1.5bn people

What logic other than to kill and intimidate your own citizenry warrants this foolishness?

With Nigeria heading for serious recession and bankruptcy how does the dullard hope to maintain such large force of men during peacetime?


The army is not designed for civilian policing but for existential and external threats.

Review our constitution and corporate unity since all conflicts in Nigeria stem from that weak document.

Nigeria's civil unrest are first and foremost politically induced and as such only sincere dialogue and not brute force can solve it.

They want full sharia in the north, I say let them have it.

The Niger Delta wants full resource control, then why not? After all its their oil

The Biafrans want a return to true republic. You hate them and are quick to attack then in your north. Grant them their autonomy and see if they will venture into your sharia enclave

Jumping from one contradictory position to another.

Did you not use US population figures to justify their army size to which you used to defend this latest foolishness by Buhari ?

And now you revert back to claiming that the US is far more advanced and so doesn't need numerical strength?

You've been watching too much cartoon, the British has a most ferocious Armada, their naval might was all conquering and the organization of their fighting force advanced for most of the armies that came their way.

As dangerous as drones can be their is a limiting factor which is a small payload, the primary uses of drones remain selective assassination and extended surveillance.

Effective anti air defense renders a drone useless, they are slow flying, limited defense and very expensive to deploy a large fleet.

The reason drones make sense in the COIN missions in Iraq, Afghanistan is because the marines and SOPs have already done the dirty ground job. From now until effective fighting robots are developed drones would never replace boots on ground.

There is nothing the US want more than boots on ground in Syria no matter how many sorties they fly , the effectiveness of srike missions can never match a well trained soldier.

When USA or Russian goes to war they don't send tons of troupes they send well motivated and intelligent troupes not these zokachi abunchi ones we have

I keep saying it ....its better to have few tropues that are highly technology compliant than bunch of troupes

Our army still uses a 1947 Kalashnikov riffle...what a travesty ..have you seen NATO defence forces using that or even isreali army


Omo go and upgrade your defense system and do research not recruiting tons of innocent men

They are not strengthening the army but absolviing their boko lunatics into it which they intend to unleash on civilians .

This is foolishness of the highest order.

Talking gibberish bro. The US you are talking about have about 1.3million personnel in active service with more than 700 thousand reservist. Nigeria do not have up to 300 thousand personnel in our armed forces (tri-service). Let's not forget that It's also a means of creating employment.

Do you have $700bn to maintain a disciplined and professional force at that number?


Besides you lie.



The US has just slightly below 500,000 regular and active men and women in the armed forces.

Reserves are not paid but are a voluntary force that are drafted for national disasters and as a last line of home defense.

Do you know why the world war 2 stopped...its simple technology ...ATOMIC BOMBS just two dropped ..with all the Japanese kamikazes fighter pilots

Just two bombs stopped it

Bin Laden's was fished out with drones ..have your heard of 99.99% presicion bombing


Why is NORTH KOREA making noise ...because they gave modern war chest ..not humans



Now let me lecture you strategy 101

Before you capture a territory there is what is called collaboration between the air bombardment and the one from the sea via war ships and subs ...that's is if the enemy territory is littoral.. This will create a shock and awe syndrome in enemy camp

Then after this you send few tropues preferably vangaurds and snippets with recoignanse ...they wikkk do the mop up...this us depending in the weakness of the enemy


I insist that we need a modern war chest not 200k army
