Can Great Britain Invade And Successfully Conquer Nigeria? by Luigi02(m): 3:49pm On Apr 02, 2022
I've seen a lot of people here claim Britain could invade us for our oil, since they no longer have access to Russian oil and others like Saudi arahus, Qatar etc have rejected to pump more. Now I know, those claims were made jokingly, but I was actually imagining a scenario like that. Could Britain actually be able to Conquer us if they're stupid enough to invade us?
Let me have your contributions because I actually think we would be able to repulse or beat them back in total humiliation

It has been confirmed that an average Abokî can take on 20 or more British troops.
Our population is more than 200 million now. No country, I repeat, no country can invade and Successfully Conquer us. It's like saying China can be conquered

They can invade but I don't think they can conquer Nigeria. If their objective is to secure a few offshore oil wells they could succeed being that they have a technological edge on us with their airforce and navy. However to conquer mainland nigeria is too much for them. They simply do not have a military large enough to do it. The country will be too vast for them and population to much

If Nigerians are supportive of the country and are willing to give up their lives for it, even USA cannot achieve it because Nigeria is too large. I know some amateurs might look at USA's military capabilities and think we don't stand a chance but unless they use nuclear weapons and bomb every corner in Nigeria, they can't achieve it. The amount of insurgency alone would be too much.

But in our present state, It would not be that hard if they really put their minds to it. In fact, a sizeable portion of the country (especially people like Northernblood3) would happily join them against Nigeria.

Nigeria military can be defeated within hours. But the invaders will loose a lots of soldiers to both the old insurgents and the new ones.

Are you underestimating the nigerian military?
The nigerian military is one of the most competent forces in Africa and the world at large. Just because we're having problem dealing with terrorists who are mostly applying guerilla tactics doesn't mean we wouldn't be able to hold out another country in a Conventional warfare. Our troops are trained to tackle enemies in conventional warfares, not terrorists applying guerilla. Any country would find trouble containing enemies using guerilla tactics. Even USA, Russia, China etc. All of them

They will use missile attacks from frigates off the coastal cities. Dirty bombs, and aircraft.
They're not stupid. And they're not the only ones interested in taking over Nigeria. By Nigeria i mean the mineral and oil gas rich south. North will not be touched as per mutual understanding..
It could happen in mid 2022.

If they are going to invade, them I can 100% guarantee you that we will get military assistance from Russia and China. Not to even talk of our fellow African countries like SA.
Both China and Russia will equip each and every one of us, as the west is currently doing with Ukraine.
Of course they would make us agree that they would get to tap some oil if we're able to withstand. I think it would be accepted by our leaders. The possibilities of Britain defeating us is near zero

Britain cannot place any arm embargo on Nigeria. What world are you living you in? Lmao very funny. The highest thing Britain can do is persuade EU countries to not sell weapons to us. The likes of China, Russia, and other African countries like SA would 100% be able to give us weapons of they want. Lol

An attack on Nigeria is an attack on SW, SE, SS, and the north. It is stupid to think everyone wouldn't fight to the death to defend it

A country that can’t produce their own military armament locally can’t be suppressed and occupied.. there will be collateral damages but then saboteurs will make the job easy..

Leave politics out of this and let's keep this thread reasonable please. Britain can't effectively place an arms embargo on any Chinese ally, neither can USA. Russia and China are always there for Western adversaries and your belief that South south and South East can beat four geopolitical zones in Nigeria is quite childish.

Sometimes I wonder how those people think. The era where Britain or their master USA can place such embargoes is forever gone. It's only possible if Britain's enemies decide to adhere, and that has almost zero chances of happening.

It's not about landmass. If it's about landmass alone, Israel wouldn't have been in existence today. Guerilla tactics worked against USA in Vietnam, and it would work against them here too. They can only succeed if the population decides not to fight them.

Yes this is true, many proxy wars may be fought on Nigerian soil solely for her resources eg lithium (Elon musk), LNG( Biden vs Putin) Gold (France vs China) Uranium (Iran vs West) etc
Sadly, it's the populace that will suffer.

The same Nigeria, abi another one, even super power nations dread the British Forces. I'm sorry for you not reading about British history and their capabilities.
you are funny, comparing Nigerian forces with British Forces,the same Nigeria that has British military equipment in their Arsenals, now tell me how many Nigerian made you can find in the British Arsenal. For your information, if the whole world were absent, and Britain invaded Nigeria, then it won't take more than a year for Nigeria to become a World Heritage Site. The British are brutal, they do more action and less talks. By the way, Nigeria's military budget is just $2.15 billion while Britain's budget is $55.10 billion .
please read history and carry out your findings with proof, it will do you a lot of good. Peace!
