All the contents of this thread (and the Lagos and Abuja picture threads) have been copied pixel for pixel from our forum on skyscrapercity. People (including I) slave away daily trying to get these pictures and stories for our information and amusement; the least the poster can do is reference the author (mostly BEEG EAGLE and RODKOYE).

Nigerian troops with US C-130

i didnt realize that nigeria and israel had become this close with regards to military co-operation,i think it intensified with the obasanjo administration
i guess its a good thing,and can be compared somewhat to turkish and israeli military co-operation,in that turkey is mostly a moslem nation and nigeria has a large moslem population(abt 50%)
anybody with more info on nigerian-israeli military co-operation,pls post,thanks

Kudos to the brave men in uniform who give up their lives for the likes of you and I. Nigerians appreciate for once and don't criticize, rave and don't belittle.

For those of you clamouring for a nuclear arsenal, I think you've forgotten the Ikeja bomb blast.

most of these weapons they get will probably be used on nigerians.

@@@@THE-AMAKA, You don come here again!!!

i must say i am proud
if i was to study anything in nigeria it would be to be a military pilot, if anything, for the passion of it

The Nigerian Military hardly fights for Nigerians, but against them. If you are thinking about the Biafran war, that is debatable. That aside, I cannot recollect any time this Military fought in the interest of the people of Nigeria, but I can remember the many coups they planned and how many times they've thwarted our attempt to democratically govern ourselves.

Maybe because I grew up when IBB and Abacha were still the Ich in this country, but I do not share this enthusiasim about the Nigerian military. They've brought nothing but bad memories of pain, fear, underdevelopment, interference in civilian matters and total disregard for justice and the rule of LAW, When we have a military that believes in the Nigerian people then I will cheer them. this attepmt at public relations should fail here now! , or just wait until some boyz in uniform harass you on the street just because you happen to wear black boots or you are making a fashion statement with camouflaged trousers. This military and their pot bellied generals and civilian friends has done nothing but harass us for 49 years, now they want some love and appreciation

@@@@THE-AMAKA, You don come here again!!!

upon all posts, you are always looking for mine, why?
why are you so obessed with me?
anyway, the niger delta militants, boko haram, ect ect
so im lying, eh?

^^^Just like i did.

Just as somebody suggested, this should be the thread of the year

@back2back.

If you don't know much about a topic, why don't you do the honorable thing by not saying anything at all. Cos when do say something you might just expose ur ignorance. The cartridge(clip) of the AK is wrapped in cellotape, yes and so what!? Is that the 1st AK u have seen wrapped that way? (Even the almighty US marines do same); I wonder why most Nigerians have this very deep seated and often misplaced negative mindset about anything Nigerian. Yes, the country is bad, and all that but when something good comes from it, lets be gracious enough to acknowledge it. The Nigerian military is one of the institutions that one is proud of in Nigeria, so I wonder what your antagonism is about. Remember that hate it or love it, u are still a Nigerian and forever would be, so the earlier you start loving it the better for u.

Thanks man, the pix are cool, up Nigeria solders.

You know every Nigerian needs to see things like these once in a while to keep reminding us that regardless of the fact that we have our problems; somehow we still have a lot to be proud of. Viva Nigerian Armed Forces we are proud of you!!!

wat of our police, _{those useless elements}
if our police were to fight war,our enemies would bribe them to betray us, God save us

methinks dey would approach the enemies and offer to betray us a la Judas
(wetin una go give me if i show una how to catch dis peepul?)

chaircover:

Sorry, but I wouldn’t even put the police in the same class as any of our armed forces.

They have no control over traffic not to talk of crime.

u r very ryt

No one can stand in the way of a man who's ready to lose his life for a cause he believes in.

That's y suicide bombers are dreaded.

The Nigerian (and other) military spill their blood to protect us. Just like any "BODY' they have their weaknesses and still make mistakes but c'mmon guyz, let's appreciate and respect them.

The bravery and selflessness of these men of Valor should not be undermined.

Well, as for me and my house-WE LOVE THE NIGERIAN MILITARY! and will always remain loyal and patriotic!

It reminds me of Gordon Brown offer to train the Nigerian Army in exchange for crude oil,

@poster.

kudos for the effort at putting the thread together. However, is it not to
your knowledge that some of the military equipment shown are not Nigerian?


Just as a chunk of Israel military hardware is American
it doesn't stop it being for the Israeli Military

You miss the point. None of the military equipment shown was manufactured in Nigeria
and probably will never be, but some in the pictures are not even owned by Nigerian armed
forces. For example is the Chinook helicopter (with twin propellers) depicted as belonging to Nigerian Airforce, whereas
it has never featured in their aircraft fleet. I can point to others if you are interested in bursting this military propaganda.

Nice idea.
What's the copyright issue about the images,can it be copied?

Holuem:

Images can be copyrighted (unauthorized used of a material) however in this case, in the beginning of his post, he gave credit to owner of the picture and clearly acknowledged that the work isn't his, so there is no copyright violation here. However if he did say those pictures were his work or if he did not credit the image owner, now that a clear violation even though he did not have the intent of doing so

useless Military,

where are they to protect the NIGERIANS just killed in Bakasi by Cameroun Army??
