Whenever I see ranking, the first thing I think of is the criteria used to draw the list. Here, they stated it's firepower.

However, our experience with terrorism has shown that firepower is not enough. If you have the best military hardware and arms, but fifth columnists are working hard to undermine the military, you don't have an army.

That's why it took Nigeria over 12 years to stop terrorists detonating bombs in public places and killing Nigerians in their numbers. Jonathan even had to hire South African mercenaries to help in the fight.

I wish the ability to fight and defeat terrorists was the basis for rating military strength because terrorists are the most difficult enemies to fight and defeat. For me, if you haven't fought and defeated terrorist groups yet, you don't know your military capabilities yet.
I'm boy

By next year or before the end of this year when all ordered military equipment would have arrived, Nigeria should be number 3 or 2 in Africa. Buhari really tried, he equipped the military

u think its by ordering equipment? Corruption and politics destroys the military more than anything.

O'boy you can't use Boko Haram to judge the firepower on NA. I have friends and brothers in the Army that have gone to fight in Maiduguri.
What the problem is?
Sabotage, insincerity of Muslim top officers and some others that have turned it to personal gain.

Our Army are praised when they go for peacekeeping outside.
Moreso, military family interact all over the world. They know themselves and capabilities.

The Americans with all their firepower have lost every single war they were involved in since 1945. You might have the firepower alright, but you may not be able to establish control on the ground

It will take years for Nigeria to catch up with Algeria and Egypt with their military budget, number of personnel and arsenal.

I still believe that when it comes to Battle Ready Military in Africa, Nigeria should be number one and not far behind in the world.

This is the bane of the security issue in Nigeria. Nigeria have no active counterintelligence department and it's the reason why the war have lingered this long. Nations don't share intelligence again with Nigeria because of their none active or existence counterintelligence division from DSS to MIA. I can't give you information if the same information will get to some people that will put my guys and my nationals in danger. This current government that just won the election in Nigeria will make even more difficult to share intelligence with Nigeria.

Military firepower does not tell the strength of the military. Just that we have more fighter jets ... tanks ... war vessels etc than the other countries. If the military is disciplined .. well trained to use them ... and can use them effectively is a different story.... and this story we know well.

POINT OF CORRECTION!!
NIGERIA DOESN'T HAVE AN INSTITUTION CALLED NIGERIAN MILITARY
WHAT WE HAVE IS NORTHERN MILITARY

THE GLOBAL FIREPOWER INDEX IS FOR NORTHERN NIGERIA MILITARY

BECAUSE ALL 17 SECURITY CHIEFS IN NIGERIA ARE FROM THE NORTH.
NO WONDER NIGERIAN MILITARY COULD NOT DEFEAT BOKO HARAM AND BANDITS.

Their military.. NOT NIGERIA MILITARY
