The Nigerian military has been ranked
fourth most powerful military in
Africa.
According to a report by the Global
Firepower (GFP), the Nigerian military
is the most powerful military in Africa
after Egypt, Algeria and Ethiopia.
South Africa comes fifth after Nigeria.
The GFP, an international organization
which provides unique analytical
display of data concerning modern
military powers in its report listed 30
countries with the most powerful
military in Africa.
The report said the list of the African
military was drawn based on country
with the most personnel resources,
equipment – air, naval and petroleum
– to sustain its military among many
other factors.
The report said the ranking system
focuses on the diversity of weapons
and provides bonuses and penalties
for facilities like nuclear arms, diversity
of force structures, and other alliances
like Nato.
The 30 African countries ranked
alongside Nigeria in the order from
the sixth to the thirtieth are: Angola,
Morocco, Sudan, Libya, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tunisia,
Zimbabwe, Zambia, Chad, Uganda,
Tanzania, South Sudan and Ghana.
Others are Cameroon, Mozambique,
Niger, Ivory Coast, Mali, Madagascar,
Gabon, Republic of the Congo,
Namibia, Somalia and Central African
Republic.
Recently, the Nigeria military in its
effort has sustained an onslaught
against the dreaded Boko Haram
terrorists that have been operating in
the north east since 2009.
The latest feat by the Nigerian military
is the rescue over a Chibok schoolgirl,
Amina Ali, last week around the
infamous Sambisa forest with the help
of civilian Joint Task Force.
Also, the next day another girl, Sarah
Luka who is said not to be among the
over 200 abducted schoolgirls was
rescued by the Nigerian military.
Meanwhile, in the world military
ranking, United States of America has
been the strongest since 1945
followed by Russia, China, India and
the United Kingdom. |
