Everything that you manufacture end within the borders of your country. Unlike us who send it to other countries as well.

China is building stealth warship in Nigeria with only Nigerians used as manual labourers. Nigeria is just only used as a shipyard to minimise the costs of transporting the ship from China to Naai-jeria. Unlike, in SA where we build what we acquire on our own and modify it where possible.

Under project Biro we will become the biggest.

China has and is transferring 100% technology of stealth warship building to nigeria

http://www.janes.com/article/28865/details-of-nigerian-naval-shipbuilding-plans-revealed

south african navy project biro is still a dream, go find money to pay the $1 billion debt you sank into by buying your navy submarines on credit, go pay that 7 year old heavy debt before you come back and talk project biro.

the loan interest is mounting daily dude, dont wait till the bank managers comes to put your submarines in the open auction sale market to recover their loan debt grin

One single F-7 jet from Nigeria will shoot down the whole Cameroonian air force.

NNS ARADU warship alone will sink the whole Cameroonian navy.

One battalion of Nigerian Bofors F-77B artillery will knock out all Cameroonian army vehicles as they have no single battle Tank.

Niger Delta m.ilitants re-grouping will sourround, outnumber, and defeat the entire Cameroonian army.

you think international politics, diplomacy and war is that simple ?

Cameroon has a defence pact with France.

Nigeria has a defence pact with Ukraine, and Ukraine has a defence pact with Russia.

Nigeria has a defence pact with Pakistan and Pakistan has a defence pact with China.

France would risk a world war by attacking Nigeria just for the sake of Cameroon.

world war II started by Germany attacking small weak European countries that had defence pacts with Super powers.

France will risk attacking Nigeria and face Ukrainian air force SU-27 Flanker jets and pilots plus Pakistani JF-17 Thunder jets and pilots.

Just a few weeks ago, Ukraine refused to join the European Union and re-affirmed its pacts with Russia.

France will think smart, not the way you do. grin

Ok, let's just for sake of this talk imagine that there's ever such very strong reason for Nigeria to go to war against Cameroun (remember that they are actually our ancestral cousins, thus for blood ties it is a distant chance), what do you think France presence will amount to? My friend, Nigeria will pound cameroun to smithereens, all France will do will be only peace-keeping . Do you know how much men, materiel and money it will cost France to try hold back Nigeria armed forces alone? it will take the whole of French army, Navy and sizable part of their airforce to check Nigeria back. If you are a half good analyst, you can imagine at what cost the will execute that, and that is if France will be willing to commit such amount of resources to save Cameroon without collaboration of NATO and US. Moreover, NATO and UN will never support any such military action that can weaken the Nigerian military, otherwise whole of West Africa and Central Africa will plunge into a very big chaos because of removal of that singular stabilizing factor. So who among them can afford to fund peacekeeping of such large area?

Now you see that Nigeria can, - and will strike Cameroun hard if need be , even at the very face of France . France can only maintain a defensive perimeter then influence EU and UN sanctions, but a military assault on Nigeria, NADA !!! They can't afford it both in emmediate cost and consequent cost. They would rather throw Cameroun away than lose out in an all out war here in Nigeria, far away from home.

All the current south african air force jets fighters and pilots of today have ZERO combat experience.

nigerian air force Alpha jets have been flying regular combat missions in ground attack for the past 12 years with the same current experienced pilots

nigerian air force Mi-35 Hind helicopter gunships have fought against boko haram anti-aircraft guns and got damaged , but still destroyed the enemy

nigerian F-7 jets have launched air to ground attacks on boko haram and Mali rebels in the last 4 years.

South african jet pilots of today have ZERO war experience. FACT.

south african army of today have ZERO combat experience apart from a few hours trial and failure when Seleka rebels beat you up like kids and another few days of hiding behind Tanzanian army in Congo DRC like second choice football players on reserve bench in English Premiership.

it will make no difference because nigeria manufactures everything it needs to sustain its army in basic combat for as long as needed....

assault rifles
general purpose machine guns
grenades
light and heavy mortar artillery
bullet proof vests
night vision goggles
howitzer artillery shells
air to ground rockets
free fall bombs
bomb disposal robots
armoured infantry fighting vehicles
armoured personnel carriers
MRAPS
drones/UAV
10m to 38m naval gunboats
stealth warships

now all the above will sustain nigeria in war for as long as needed. FACT !!!

south africa depends 95% on imported European made weapon platforms to launch her DENEL made weapons, especially missiles... Gripen jets, Hawk jets, half-French Rooivalk helicopter gunship, Valour frigates, Type 209 Submarines, half-British Oliphant tanks, half-Finland made Badger armoured IFV vehicles, and many more.


.
Let's look into the rubbish here. First artillery/howitzer shells did you know long range howitzers will need their barrels changed after a month of sustained firing?......Which MRAPS are you talking about? And which IFV are you talking about?...........South Africa produces advanced systems which can start to overwhelm Nigeria within 7 months of fighting. Nigeria produces standard artillery shells=South Africa advanced V-LAP and other rounds including radar screening,HEAT+propaganda leaflets dropping shells.........Every foreign weapon purchase by South Africa will have South African systems in it. The Hawks were produced in SA. The Rooivalk is a SA made AT helo,as much as the Westland Apache is British and the Abrams MBT is American. Nigeria produces weapons,YES we know.
