....and all these so called failed states continue to exist and grow economically, and demographically for 100 years, so they have failed to fail !

you guys and those publishing countries data that wont delete those countries are the failed prophets of doom !

zetdee: Zimbabweanswer have excess to clean drinking water, most live in formal houses with proper drainege. Zimbabwe is far better than Nigeria, but a failed state.

zaandrew: I watched it. And zuma head was never below obama. Other than the photo op but zuma is shorter.

zaandrew: At no point did i see zuma bring his head below that of obama.

chris365: @ augugust,henry and some SAs who seem to know a lot about military stuff.
i was arguing with a some friends about Jf-17 thunder and Chinese J10 fighter jets. which is better? i can't seem to find any battlefield experience on any of them, and it seems Nigeria is going for both or one of them. any reply is welcomed.

Msauza: That version of Hind is too weak my friend....

all4naija: Are those helicopters meant to foil SA plan to colonize poorer African nations with its economic power?

zaandrew: How ever money is not the only aid. NN will soon be dropped with more USCG cutters. USAAF did some work on your C130s supply transport of cargo to mali and did the same thing in serrir leon, your MT-LBs where payed for by the USA. The level of support given to nigeria by the USA is very high.

zaandrew: Wikpeadia does not show what money went where.

Any case for 2011 nigeria recicved 1.3 million USD in FMA sa recivied 0.8 million. The rest are for aid agencys operating in SA. Most to do with AIDS.

The forghin aid that SA gets is for our C130s and aids awarnce SA it self gives away more money in milltary Aid than it gets.

Henry120: Nigeria: Defence Headquarters - Most Wanted Insurgents Captured
26 June 2013 , By Misbahu Bashir, Source: Daily Trust
(Photo: vanguard.)
The defence headquarters in Abuja yesterday said that some of the notorious leaders of fleeing insurgents in Borno and Yobe states have been captured.

It also said in a statement that military weapons and explosives were recovered in the insurgents abandoned camps. But Daily Trust could not independently ascertain the identities of those captured.

The Joint Task Force code named "Operation Restore Order" Borno State had declared 19 members of the Boko Haram sect, including its leader, Abubakar Shekau wanted and offered large sums of money as reward to anyone with information that will lead to their arrest.

The JTF offered N50 million reward for information that could lead to the arrest of Shekau. Others included Habibu Yusuf (N25m), Khalid Albamawa (25m), Momodu Bawa (25m), Mohammed Zangina (25m), Abu Sa'ad (10m), Abba Kaka (10m), Abdulmalik Bama (10m), Umar Fulata (10m), Mustapha Ibrahim (10m) and Abubakar Suleiman Abu (10m).

The statement signed by the Director of Information Brigadier General Chris Olukolade said the "members of Defence Headquarters Operational Assessment Team have returned from Yobe and Borno States to brief the Chief of Defence Staff with updates on the situation in the operational area of the Special Forces operating in the North East.

"Some notorious leaders of the terrorists have been captured while some materials recovered in their camps in Sambisa forest have provided useful intelligence for subsequent operations. Various weapons including rockets, and locally fabricated weapon accessories were captured in the forest. Other items include a large number of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) making materials among. Laptops, Mobile Communication equipment (GSM phones), used for shooting and posting online videos, locally made rockets and rocket launchers were among several items seized from the arrested terrorists."

During its visit, the team was shown seized vehicles of different brands and several others destroyed by the terrorists. "Tailoring equipment apparently used for producing fake uniforms were also shown to the team."

According to him, the troops are currently engaged in night and day patrols of the area to dominate the forest and apprehend any terrorist who may be lurking around.

patriot4: Given the fact that you say this with no proofs I beg to disagree. Actually I think what pains you is the fact that you can no longer claim that Nigeria doesn't have modern jets. Given the fact that you now know that Nigeria is flying the same jets as the chinese airforce, so ofcourse you must try to tame it by saying it is less capable jets they sold us, and of course with no proofs. What is your problem, why must you be so jealus ? Why must you be disturbed to see Nigerian progress ?

OneQuestion: Because my question is not being answered, let me show what I am trying to find out - I googled "military health in Africa"; and this is what came up - >

I need to know who has the best military health service out there. Your military health units. What do they look like? It's a very simple question.

If it cannot be answered. Fine. Just say so.

drag_on: If the Nigerian Navy are ordering the corvettes without torps,aam,and AShM and even radar, then its most likely that they intend to incorporate systems from other makers to the ship.Remember that the ship is nothing more than a battle platform esp since the design is modular. The important thing here is that the navy wants warship building capacity for corvet size ships.

“The idea is to convince the political masters to see the need for an offshore patrol vessel which the Navy has often reiterated at a lot of functions”.

He explained that while the first will be constructed in France, the others will be built in Nigeria by the naval dock yard thus making the country a hub for the construction of future OPV in the West Africa sub region...... And if other African countries within the sub region will need to purchase such an OPV class of ship then the construction will be done in our dockyard, which means the Nigerian naval dockyard will now be the hub for the construction of future Offshore Patrol Vessels of that class for navies in the West Africa sub region,”

saengine: NI - Nigeria. Its just an abbreviation, its not a specific type. I dare you to Google F-7NI. If it was built in 2008, it's technical details should be all over the net.

saengine: A man who has been caught red handed. Hahahah

saengine: Then it means you pulled the number 4 straight out of your backside. I was man enough to say I made a mistake yesterday with the picture of the Nigerian helicopter coming out of the Antonov, but you aren't man enough to say you have absolutely no clue how strong your OPV's will be. You have no clue which weapons the Nigerian Navy will choose to buy, and from whom. And you have no idea how many of those weapons they can afford.

Again you have been exposed as a fraud. Claiming your OPV's will be the strongest force on the continent without a shred of proof.

saengine: The F-7 Nigeria uses are the export versions of the Chinese J-7I/II/IIA/IIM series of jets. 30 year old aircraft. Hence I say the Chinese only sold you those missiles because Nigerian generals were dumb enough to buy them.

saengine: Chinese Variants of J-7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengdu_J-7#Chinese_variants

Example of a Chinese Variant:

J-7G
an improved variant of the J-7E by CAC, first flew in 2002. Equipped with a new KLJ-6E PD radar, which is reported to be SY-80 radar with SY is short for Shen Ying, meaning Celestial Eagle in Chinese. This radar a Chinese development of the Italian Pointer-2500 ranging radar used for the Q-5M, and the Italian radar itself was a development of Pointer radar, the Italian copy of Israeli Elta EL/M-2001. In comparison to the Italian Grifo series radar on Pakistani F-7s, the SY-80 weighs more at 60 kg, and the range is also shorter, at 30 km. However, the radar does have a feat that the Italian radars do not have: it is fully compatible with helmet-mounted sights (HMS) so that both the radar and HMS can be worked together to control PL-8/9 air-to-air missiles. One 30 mm gun was removed, and a more powerful engine installed

Export Variant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengdu_J-7#Export_variants

FT-7 Export version of the JJ-7. It used the domestic Chinese Type-II ejection seat, replacing the Chinese copy of the original Soviet design, because the Soviet design was less reliable. (Nigeria bought 3 I think)

JJ-7 - Dual-seat J-7 trainer and Chinese equivalent of the MiG-21U Mongol-A design. Originally built by Guizhou Aircraft Design Institute and Guizhou Aircraft Company (now Guizhou Aviation Industry Group/GAIC) in 1981. (you are training your pilots in 30 year old aircraft)

The F-7 Nigeria uses are the export versions of the Chinese J-7I/II/IIA/IIM series of jets. 30 year old aircraft.

Hence I say the Chinese only sold you those missiles because Nigerian generals were dumb enough to buy them.
