indeed it is 2 years ago.
The source says your military does not have enough cash to run your jets.

Parliament is considering selling them off.
You don't have qualified pilots ( just 6) and the airport facility is rotting away.

Man, it going to ge a long hard years of climbing to the level of Angola your neighbour. That's if your country has the political will power, cash and trained pilots to do their bit.

Honestly it's not even a problem that can be solved in 10 years, never mind 2.



its a 2 year old post based largely on rumor

it has been completely debunked

400 South-African Special forces squared off against a bunch of farmers, hunters and kids. At the end of the battle, there were between 13- 50 dead South-African special forces soldiers, a plea for help from the french and a new government installed in bangui a few hours after the encounter with the South-Africans.

Your military is as pathetic as they come.

In Afghanistan, the U.S used "daisy cutters" against insurgents armed with only AK-47's and RPGs.

NATO troops at Squad levels call in Artillery as basic infantry support.

In naija, insurgents feel the heat cool cool

I love how henry120 has to invent his own history so that he feels less insecure about who terrible the nigerian military is.

I said modern day war, Angola is over 20 years ago war !

SAAF has never used BVR missile in air combat like Ethiopia and Eritrea.

SAAF has never used FLIR in helicopter combat. SAAF has never used air to ground missile in combat. SAAF has never used air to ground radar on ISTAR aircraft. SAAF has never used guided bombs in combat like Nigeria.

NAF is now your boss in air to ground combat....big time !

Show me a war where South African air force ever did something like this Nigerian air force level of high technology, show me....

Chad is doing 5% of the job and only around the borders, they are restricted by MNJTF rules and regulations.

Nigeria is doing 90% of the job.

Chadian army was out-smarted by Bokos who slipped under the noses of a whole 4 battalions of 2,000 Chadian soldiers and entered Cameroon to wound/massacre 600 innocent Cameroonian civilians that the President Biya begged Chadian army to guard and protect grin grin

Chadian air force is flown by white-men from Europe and they are busy b.ombing innocent civilians

Chadian army was asleep when 33 Bokos entered Chad 2 weeks ago and massacred Chadian civilians on the same border Chad was guarding

Chad is not even able to do it's little 5% job effectively.....Rag tag army of jokers, nothing special if they kill or capture any Bokos, even cowardly Cameroonian army does the same thing.

What has Chad done? Local farmer people in Nigeria with clubs, machetes, and hunting guns kill and capture Boko Haram...

lol, all this butthurt

Chad and Cameroon have known nothing but victory

Your army has had to swallow a heavy dose of defeat.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA… The bush war is the only modern day war that the world today can make reference to. Don't tell me about wat against rebel or terrorist groups who do not have a single air wing or missile to respond to heavy firepower. Even the Ethiopian-Eritrian war was not as intensive and modern as the bush war which nearly took 20 years. It is the nature of war that used all modern day weapons and that Nigeria had never fought in its military history. SA used all kinds of heavy modern weapons in that war, dummy.

There are only two countries in Africa that uses live missile and guided bombs during training in Africa. Nigeria is not one of those countries either, only Egypt and SA. Both countries have done that traditional method of training for years with SA possessing one of the few test stations in the mother earth. Countries all over the world flock to SA to perform live test of their missiles.

Nigeria does not even have a missile technology and all that they have been firing in Boko haram camps were unguided free falling bombs until recently when mercenaries fired PGMs on their behalf. Nigerian fighter pilots are the poorly trained pilots in the mother is universe, that's why Jonathan could not waste any of his precious money to hire SA mercenary to fly his sorties, as it also was during Biafra war. All sorties were flown by mercenaries in Biafra and Nigeria is one country that does not have confidence on their own pilots. Nigerian Air force as it now stands has been privatised to mercenaries.

Why is it that you always treat Afrikaaners as if they are not South Africans? I am a mixed coloured of White and Malay decendent and I look more like a white man. Many South Africans confuse me as that and surely in Nigeria I will be categorised as white. So, does that make me a foreigner? If being black does not make Beyonce or R-Kelly a foreigner in America, why should it make me a foreigner in Africa.

You Nigerians are only jealous because your country is 100% black and is not mixed like that of SA. We are a rainbow nation in Africa.
You aren't African and will NEVER be African.
Could a Nigerian be born in China and become Chinese?
Who in the world cares about a "mixed" nation. Funny, are Asian countries mad that they are 100% Asian? Are white countries mad being 100% white? Nigerians are PROUD being 100% Black and love the fact that the most educated, talented, richest people look like themselves(funny how you define yourself as African yet view Blackness as bad/inferior).

The US does not procure weapons from Nigeria.
South Africa does not procure weapons from Nigeria.
Because nigeria has a fledging defense industry,we neither produce tanks nor do we manufacture supersonic combat jets.
though we build APCs,surveillance drones,mine detecting robots,body armour,rifles,touch sensitive mines,time and trigger bombs,patrol and combat vessels,with remedial capacity to begin manufacturing IFV,AFV,low orbit satellites,light armoured tanks,OPVs,and MRAPs
but all these are barely of enticable capabilities enough to attract powerful militaries like the US.
As for SA,well,south africa is known to have a lackadiasical disposition toward weapon procurement.many of SA's military gadget are worn,outdated and poorly maintained,with no light at the end of the tunnel for its rapidly shrinking and poorly secured defense industry.
Nigeria could care less if SA procures weapons from us.

SA has a modernised defence industry that maintains their obsolete weapons. Nigeria's defence industry is still a baby and has not even provided your military with over 5% of locally produced weapons. All the so called weapons you claim to be produced in Nigeria are all imaginary.


Global firepower website even openly admit that there is no military in Africa that uses the kind of sophisticated and modernised weapons that South Africa has. Produced 100% in local defence industries.

Where does Nigeria stand.
