Corruption and visionless and directionless leaders has always been the bane of this country and will eventually be it’s death I don’t know why Nigeria is so paradoxical we have everything but it always seems like we have got nothing!
The Maghreb countries invest heavily in military weapons war machines and all so it’s no surprise I think they learnt this from their Middle East counterparts the Iran Saudi Arabia,turkey,Pakistan,Iraq and all well we are always asslickin the west so we don’t see any aggression most times and I guess that’s why our useless leaders won’t invest in the military or prep our country for any form of aggression or invasion!nigeria still procuring 1970 equipments in 2019!seriously!
jrusky: Pls remove South Africa from the list. Showing war plane does not mean you are a war goliath or a millitary goliath. South Africa has not experience any upheaval neither civil war nor terrorism and let's see may be they will still stand or chicken out.
I know what I'm saying I was born in millitary home, carrying gadgets around doesnt make you a guru but be able to apply it in no option situation and still float matters. South Africa are just bloody bread and butter millitary. They are just theoritical millitary brigade or boyscout.
This is your personal emotional rant. Emotions and facts should not mix. South African troops and military equipment have aided in the fight against boko haram; they were/have been efficient by the way.
Although not recently, the South African military has been involved in several African countries including Angola, Namibia and so forth. That counts as experience in my book.
Losing wars you mean. The Egyptian army is useless, you need to see how IDF toyed with them until Egypt begged and signed a peace treaty. The only army I might respect in Africa would be Ethiopia and South Africa.
My brother, it takes guts to survive what Egypt has been thru in years.. The country has too many military responsibilities.. Middle east no be beans..
LOL. Military that can not fight and win a rag-tag Boko Haram terror group for 10 years should not make the list if the most powerful 50 armies in Africa. Nigeria. We just like to deceive ourselves.

You respect the South African military for what exactly? Which wars have they been successfully involved in? What is the basis of that respect?
A South African military that is ridiculed at home?
Ever since the fall of apartheid and the disbanding of the pro apartheid special forces, the South African army has not been the same.
The truth is that if not for corruption, Nigeria's army is right up there next to Egypt. The sheer number of conflicts our military has directly participated in makes it the most experienced, added to the strength of our alliances and economic power, we really should be second to none.
But nepotism will not allow them recruit from the most diverse pool, while corruption will not allow them equip the boys.
SA na oyibo defending their assets there, so that has flawed the list; because the lazy youths among them (believe me dem many pasara) can't build a flying paper talkless of those machines.
As for ethopia, algeria, and egypt, i still no gree.

Not a single South African soldier played a role in the fight against boko haram. Those were mercenaries and they have little to do with the current South African army.
Secondly the South African army drastically changed after apartheid. The whites who were well trained and highly respected largely left to become mercenaries.

Bro, USA came to the defence of Israel. If not for USA intervention Israel wud ve been history

Lol. In your dreams. In a war between Nigeria and South Africa in the absence of any external help South Africa will win especially if it becomes a protracted one. The useless Nigerian army have no weapons nor can they manufacture any deadly ones. The only advantage Nigeria have is population which can easily be rendered useless with superior tactics with Nigeria clearly lacks. Bolo haram has exposed the gross ineptitude of the boy scouts called Nigerian Army. For God sake, how many countries still use towed artillery?

Not exactly true. Some did leave others remained. Do you know SA manufacture fighter aircrafts? Ordinary bullets Nigeria don't even manufacture. Lol

Old topic in already far away in another important thread South Africa ain't worth what I should be barking about ok. No offense I have moved on to better topic.
That war known as "The War in October", was lost by Egypt not because of the IDF firepower but because of the US direct involvement. That's a known fact in the military circle. This isn't denying the fact that IDF is strong especially in recent times.
My brother, go and read how the IDF obliterated the entire Egyptian Airforce and groudn troops on the Sinai peninsula in a space of less than 8 hours during the 6-day war.

Israel cannot be wipped out, the and of God is upon them. . even if America remove their help, help will still find them. Israeli Military has high level intelligence.

I feel like weeping for Nigeria because if war breaks out as the spirit of orunmila is telling me, walai, you will see your mother and call her your father.
Ordinary Boko Haram with only Hilux Pick-ups & GPMGs, your soldiers are running into another Country's territory for cover.
Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS): BM-14-16 (48 units), BM-21 Grad (48 units), BM-24 (30 units), BM-30 Smerch (50 units), TOS-1A (52 units) and Iskander-E (48 units).
Air Defence Systems: S-400 missile systems (4 regiments: one regiment consists of 12 launchers of 4 missiles each).
S-300PMU-2 missile systems (8 regiments: one regiment consists of 12 launchers of 4 missiles each).
Pantsir-S1/S2 (108 units)
Tor-M2 (48 batteries)
BUK-M2 (32 launchers)
Why the fvck was I born in this shithole in the first place? I am supposed to be a "GOC" in the Algerian, Serbian or Russian Army.
Look at how these useless cursed politicians in Abuja are endangering my life & family by leaving Nigeria vulnerable to attacks & invasion?
Out of all these military equipments that I've listed so far, Nigeria only has 1 Transport (C-130 Hercules), a handful of Mi-35 Helos and maybe 20 units of T-72 Battle tanks.
I mean how could a whole giant of Afrika not have an S-300 or S-400 to secure our airspace & prevent missiles from Cameroun, Ghana & Kenya from landing on our heads?
And Instead of the bastards to go to Russia and order dozens of SU-30, MiG-29, SU-34, the bastards went to Amerika to waste $496 Million on 12 useless & decommissioned aircrafts called Tucanos.
Ogun will kill anybody that will quote me and ask how we will maintain these aircrafts. How are Egypt, Ethiopia, Algeria & South Afrika maintaining theirs?
Only 4 out of the 7 ww2 era F-7 jets bought by Ebele Jonathan are currently operational.
Boko Haram shot one down with Bazooka in Adamawa about 4 years ago and 2 collided during the independence day training last year.
They sit down in Abuja doing absolutely nothing to curb the growing menace of insecurity & insurgency.
The only thing they're good at is looting & embezzling the treasury without making any future plans for the Country.
Ordinary 30,000Naira minimum wage, they cannot sacrifice to put smiles on the faces of the ever beaten & battered citizenry.
They will ask you whether you're praying for war to justify their ineptitude & incompetence - with their dead-brains, forgetting that to be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
20years ago, nobody had anticipated that Nigeria would ever be at the mercy of a rag-tag terrorist organization (Boko Haram) - negotiating with them & even paying them ransoms.
As you make your bed, so must you lie on it.
Let me round up my list before I retire to the nearest beer parlour for the Easter jubilation, gyration, celebration & fornication.
Navy
Submarines: Project 636 (4 units), Project 877EKM (2 units) and the Romeo-Class Submarine (2 units).
Amphibious Warfare Vessels: San Giorgio-class assault ship (1 unit) and Kalat Beni Hammed (2 units).
Frigates: Koni-class frigates (3 units) and Meko-A200 (2 units).

Thanks for the correction, but, Africa's militaries are still nothing to write about. Despite the changes in the SA military, compared with the rest, they still perform albeit below expectations.
Which boko haram are the army fighting..lol..abi dem be shooting practice for boko haram..bro have ever been to maiduguri to find out the stories after each clash in a town..u will be shocked
lottomkyes200: putting Nigeria in that 5th position was wrong because all this equipment you said we have I swear 60% are not in good condition. I have fact if we do have then in good condition our soldiers will not be running for their lives before book haram.
Rebel forces were backed by NATO air power and other countries outside NATO that hated the Gaddafi's regime e.g Qatar. They recieved one of the best weapons in US arsenal.
I guess the guy doesn't have outside support like Syrian President
LOL. Military that can not fight and win a rag-tag Boko Haram terror group for 10 years should not make the list if the most powerful 50 armies in Africa. Nigeria. We just like to deceive ourselves.
Let me ask you this. In the post colonial period, is there any army in Africa that has ever fought and successfully defeated a rag tag group of fighters like you put it?
While you search for answers let me then ask, is there any army in modern history that has ever successfully defeated such a group?

we are finished in this country if war breaks out with other countries, when you ask them why our military equipment is all time low n not maintained u will here there is no money but tell them lets add a trillion to ur allowances n salaries kia kia na approval, reason why ordinary boko keep playing with them like toys what if we are fighting with another country that would be a sorry case
