MikeZA: I agree. But this leads to lack of training,equipment and low salaries which mostly equals to low morale among soldiers. As we've seen in the DRC when M23 had the government troops running back to Kinshasa while breaking the rules of war,this is also the case in Nigeria.

Henry120:

Hey, dummy, be sure of the facts before mentioning nigeria.


Nigerian soldiers are not poorly paid, poorly equipped or poorly trained.

Henry120:

Stop lieing, that uniform in the photo south-african "musiwa" posted is from a game, and has nothing to do with reality.

Helghast: I've noticed that many african countries prefer quantity over the quality of our soldiers, maybe that's why its so hard for many of us to protect our countries.

Msauza:


You are such a stupiiid, Gripen are equipped with a warning device to warn the pilot timeously about the impending danger from an incoming missile. The pilot would then take counter-measures to overcome the danger.

Helghast:


Yeah Congo was a mess before the FIB

And I honestly don't believe that Nigeria needs 150k Soldiers, 2 thousand extensively trained and highly mobile troops equiped with Tavors and upgraded AKs supported by heavily armed Cobras and Igirigis *not sure if i spelt that right*.

With all of that they'd be able to take control of the entire northern region.

MikeZA: They're poorly trained and paid. How much man does a deployed Nigerian rifleman get?

Msauza:

So what is the problem with them?

MikeZA: I'm talking about the CR-21. READ FIRST and REPLY LATER.

Nigeria has about 150,000 soldiers and we are over-stretched spreading all over our land mass to fight Boko Haram.

South Africa has 50,000 soldiers and that's 3 times smaller an army than Nigeria's... on your land mass somewhat bigger than Nigeria !

If Boko Haram was in South Africa, your country will collapse under the heavy pressure of an insurgency that appears and disappears at random in multiple locations you don't expect or predict, and mixed up with civilians to confuse you.

Large armies prevent large countries from being overrun by lightly armed threats that are very mobile and of no fixed permanent base and mixed up with civilians.

One man one rifle looks cheap, but hey, it will save you in COIN war. My boss told me in the office some days ago, he said..."Augustine, Boko Haram cannot survive in America, we have 100 million civilian guns including assault rifles, we will k.ill every Boko Haram fighter on our streets, the US Army will just arrive to pick up dead bodies".

One man, one rifle !

World class fraud, lies, propaganda and deception coming out the best place to expect it...South Africa

agaugust:

Sorry your idea is for video games warfare.

2,000 soldiers for about 950,000 sq km land mass of Nigeria ? Go ask Britain why they are using 130,000 soldiers to defend their approx 250,000 sq km land

You this old Navy chef-cook, you know nothing about war

Your Congo DRC war SANDF fortune teller wrote story and said M23 fired anti-aircraft rockets on towns and cities. LOL

Is there any weapon like that in this world? No, it does not exist.

That first lie has shown you a fraudulent South African propaganda story as usual.

He said SANDF had 200 troops fight 7,000 Seleka !!!!!! Second Big lie !!!!!

The truth is 400 SANDF and 1,500 Seleka !!!!

SANDF figure from South Africa, and Seleka figure from France.

The story is full of false information and so has ZERO credibility.

Sorry Mr. Fraudrewza, your story is a big lie from the pit of hell, better luck next time !

South African army is a ZERO and not a hero in Congo DRC war !

Henry120:

They're neither poorly paid or a they poorly trained. They earn enough to live a comfortable life.
