The Nigerian military has become more professional since 2000. . .
They deserve the praise. . .and about governance pls direct that to the politicians. . .

stop bringing your rubbish here,everything is not politics. . this is a strictly military thread. . .

You are simply daydreaming, This is not USA, France, nor China. Have you been awed by their military

paddy_lo:

[color=#000099]U might be a low self esteem, poor fellow but not me. .

why should i be awed by those militaries u name

when the fellow black ppl of sierra leone and liberia were killing themselves,chopping off hands of babies and destroying their country

were where those so-called militaries of the countries u named to help end the war?

A black man like u in 2010,still being brainwashed to hate yourself. . .
After the war,the so-called European countries are quick to go to sierra leone and film the poverty there
they are now happy to come,but couldnt care less when it could have

Go to Sierra leone and ask the average man there about the Nigerian military
and see the love and respect they have for us for putting our lives on the line
to help their country get back on its feet

even till today,we still provide the core of manpower to help rebuild their military. . . .[/



I'm not surprised that you know nothing about politics nor anything in particular, except posting pictures of German made tanks and American manufactured aircraft carriers.

You are talking about SIerra Leone, and that we are "THE ONES BUILDING THEIR MILITARY"

Please, dont mistake patriotism for stupidity.

I think actually, you are the one that hates yourself, and wants to pretend that our military is first class, and that everything is OKAY in Naija. Just wait until rumor has it that your village is harboring anti-PDP members, and when they send your beloved and Western packaged army in, they will start with liquidating your compound.

This thread is nonsense

Awaiting your boyish reply with your show and tell pictures

Exactly! In Charles Taylor's final days the US Marines sat in their ships of the coast of Liberia watching the slaughter on the beaches and streets of Monovia and did sweet F*uk All.

mens dept:

You see, blacks killing blacks and you say US just sat there

And what did you do? Did you fly out their to Monrovia and save the Liberians from massacre? All this what did US do and that is rubbish. The US/American people has/have done more for you folks than your leaders have done for their own people.

Mariory:

What I didn't do is come on the internet talking nonsense about the military that made the sacrifice. And I don't even know what the bolded part of your comment is supposed to mean or who it is supposed to refer to.

mens dept:

LOL, yes ask me.


And if said I studied for my chemistry exam?

You see, lets be honest with ourselves before we start blaming the US for not intervening when many of you guys didnt do anything. I'm sure you were joining paddy_lo to post nonsense

@Paddy lo: Well done bro. As far as I am concerned, a major determinant of a country to be able to sustain it's national sovereignty and gain respect is the strength of it's military. Nigeria is not yet there, but we will get there.

@Mens dept: What the heck is your problem? Are you trying to say that the Nigerian military wasted their time in Liberia and Sierra leone? If we dint go to rescue them, who would have helped them? Are you insane? Do you know anything about good neighborliness? Or Actions to spur future positive reciprocal actions from neighbors? So because the militants are Niger-deltans, they should be overlooked, and allowed to steal, despoil, kill and kidnap at will? Who told you that the military just goes into communities to butcher and kill people without course? And what evidence do you have that it has been selective? Was it not what happened in Niger-delta that happened in the North during the Boko haram onslaught? Was it not under a leader from Northern Nigeria that it happened? Don't you think that the professionalism of our military will mature and grow with the civil rule in Nigeria? Does military maturity not come with the renewal of military wares?

You must know that just as there are budget provisions for other sectors in Nigeria's economy, defence also has its own provision. In Nigeria, priority is not even given to defence, compared to the United states and most countries. So shut up my friend!

Can't you see the difference between Military and politics? Atleast now that they have been truely separated in Nigeria, can't you respect that?

The same United states that you are referring to kept manufacturing and purchasing military weapons to sustain their stay in Iraq and afghanistan, even during the recession. What does the fact that US spends more on defence tell u? So you prefer that we give our military sticks and stones as weapons just because we aint developed yet?

My friend, you better shut up and go and read for you chemistry exam. You are too young to know anything about the history of unnecessary external aggression. It is untill Cameroun, Benin republic, or Niger republic decides to test Nigeria's military strength that you will be convinced that we need a good military.

@Paddy lo: Well done bro. As far as I am concerned, a major determinant of a country to be able to sustain it's national sovereignty and gain respect is the strength of it's military. Nigeria is not yet there, but we will get there.

Mariory:

First off, no one is blaming the US for anything. Try to let that sink into your head please. This thread is about the Nigerian military. You see the thing is you are not the first of your kind to grace this thread.
We are aware you are feeling lonely right now but, you won't derail the thread. We will just wait for your extremely short attention span to fade with this topic. Please keep adding your own pics. Google is your friend.

You guys are not astute politic persons, hence daydreamers that haven't yet awoken. Tribute to the Nigerian Army LOL!!!

Let's have a tribute to the Nigerian Police and Nigerian Customs and Nigerian Governors like Ibori. C'mon, lets do it and forget about tributes to real leaders and better institutes that have done better for Nigeria.

mens dept:


Not only google, but Nairaland,

You guys say this thread is about the Nigerian Military. Fine, so that's why I will also post other views about that military, that are more applicable to our sorry plight as a nation. No sugarcoating, no fairy tale, no deception.

lordangers:

Yeah this was after Somalia. You do recognize that the US were are a little more hesitant to join the same urban war where they could have the entire city turn against them. Did they have sufficent armour? Doubt they leave it sitting on warships. And there was no one to bail them out if something went wrong.

PLS Nigeria buys very little equipment from  the USA. . .u must be talking of EGYPT

AND how many Nigerians have the military killed. . .u must be smoking something in that UK u live
a lot of u guys have stayed out of the country so long u are out of touch with reality and listen to propaganda

Nigerians regularly have one communal clash or the other and it is this same military that goes to cool things down
Perhaps u want us to be like congo were the military is so weak,it cannot protect its civilians and 5 Foriegn armys invade it,loot and kill its citizens

U talk of UN. . .or NATO. . .How are they faring in Afghanistan or Iraq. . pls u are bringing emotions to this

and before u slander the NIGERIAN MILITARY on JOS know that without them being there the animals there will still be killing themselves

u cannot blame peacekeepers for conflict
and if the peacekeepers have one or 2 bad eggs(alledgedly),then improve the training logistics,equipment and pay
not rubbish them like u are doing here

Its funny u hide in the UK behind a strong military, but you dont wish the same for nigerians

I advise u to stop visiting this page if u have nothing better to say. . .rubbish

Nigeria is a major recipient of military aid from the US
