An aside. The provocateurs brought out the beast in the Giant. I rest my case.

Hennynitan17:
Covert pls stop all this. Your actions are embarrassing to the rest of Nigerians here.

Again the apologetic. What actions for being a Nigerian. You think I can't substantiate my posts? Just wait for my proof. And when I do as always u owe me my due. We know who all that they are that section of Nigerians. Even if we land on the moon they will still come here to say it's not true or point out it's demerits. Can't help 'em. Ask questions or have a seat.

Facts & Patriotism: People can be pained which is since evident for the fact they can't accept being second or third places in Africa. Typing f00lery as some do it's their wahala. Using open source info to make judgement is one thing. Making analysis based on privileged knowledge is another. There are no equals from Population to Economy to Commensurate Military Strength. Why dabble and haggle with states that don't even measure the size of the Yoruba empire in south-west Nigeria or the Benin empire in the mid-west etcetera. There's only one position for first in Africa and it's Nigeria. Time done appeasing third rate powers.

Gentlemen, Patriotic Nigerians are highly coveted human resources acclaimed world wide for contributing immensely to the development, growth and pride of Nigeria in different fields of endeavour.

A case in point is our highly regarded Navy which continues to maximize available assets in defence of Nigeria's maritime domain and territorial integrity whilst awaiting the delivery of more modern platforms in furtherance of Nigeria's domestic and foreign policy objectives.

The Navy currently is one of the largest Navy in Africa with over 200 platforms ranging from agile brown water assets to sophisticated blue water naval patrol capabilities. Very importantly The Nigerian Navy has a large pool of highly trained and skilled officers and men for it's Naval operations.

Among some of the Navy's current vessels is the NNS Okpabana a former US coast guard high endurance vessel received from the US government. These ships entered service about 52 years ago and seen periodic maintenance and refurbishment in it's years of service. The US currently still operate 4 of these vessels. Other countries also has received these Cutters: Bangladesh 2, Vietnam 1, Phillipines 3 and Nigeria 2.

Upon transfer from the US government the NNS Opkabana along with its sister ship NNS Thunder in Nigerian service the Nigerian Navy invested millions of dollars for refurbishments, weapons and processing systems emplacements according to it's own specifications and classified them Frigates in Nigerian service. They are overtly armed with Oto Melara 76 heavy medium range guns and CIWS for anti-air and anti-surface warfare and capable of ASW. Onboard it carries a R-MACK system connected to the wider Nigerian Navy R-MACK system both shore based and sea based that enable it detect and track in real time all vessels within the Gulf of Guinea region. They are larger than most flagships in Africa today and extended sailing range of any at 14,000 nautical miles or 26,000km. It can navigate Africa on one full tank without need of refueling and has one of the best seakeeping duties of 45 days endurance. It's a behemoth. Before the end of the Cold War they were so heavily armed since it has the advantage of been able to take on new weapon systems and were considered highly formidable for war. The end of the Cold War saw a reduction in weapon emplacements. In event of war the Nigerian Navy has the advantage of this option. Built for long term use they are expected to serve another decade in Nigerian service.

The Nigerian Navy also has the Chinese built modern P18-N class of warships with digitized and automated systems. They are stealth and heavily armed for self defence and projection of measurable force. Going forward the refit of the Frigate Aradu has not been foreclosed though the wisdom in the huge expenditure of some 250 million dollars for it's refit has been questioned. The Nigerian Navy anticipates future deliveries of SSV, LST, LPD, Frigate and submarine vessels to cover it's Navy medium term acquisition plans. Presently the Nigerian Navy is the most powerful Navy in the Gulf of Guinea and continues to maintain that balance of power in the seas, in the air and on the shores come what may.

Watch this space for fair and articulate analysis of military power balance in the region.

Covert.

High Endurance Sea Patrol: This is the Nigerian Navy Ship Okpabana. I know your position in the Gulf of Guinea. Navy HQ Abuja can now see you via our R-MACK system. You stand no chance. You are ordered to stop sail immediately for boarding and search. Any form or sign of aggression and I will sink you.

Snyder1ZA:
This ship used to be a Fantastic coast guard cutter before the US donated it after further stripping it of its coast guard capabilities and shipping it to NN.

And the NN invested another 8.5 million dollars for armaments and sensors emplacements to its own specification and classified it a frigate. In Africa today it is larger than the flagship of many countries and has the longest range of any ship on the continent at 9,600 nautical miles translated at 17,800km at 20 knots. It has an onboard R-MACK system which can detect and track all vessels in the Gulf of Guinea.

Bro do some research before making ret@rded statements......go read up on the operations morero and vimbezela, get an idea why we were in CAR

Then for good measure Google the Special Task Force.......you will find that they are tasked for INTERNAL security....do you know what internal means??

An Irony. Ret@rded response. Try harder.

jln115:
Because they are a police unit you ret@rd!!

So after all the resume they are just what they are: A police unit. Ok I get it. So while you're at it with the noise we are doing the heavy lifting with real paramilitary forces in Somalia and Mali. jln115 very poor of you but not to be unexpected from the ret@rd that you are.

jln115:
hahahahahahahah good old augubugu talking the same old nonsense again.....anyway believe what you will, wil not debat with someone who thinks one can just slap missiles on an OPV as if its nothing OR that Nigeria is a superpower.

Nigeria is the superpower of Africa. Period.

Live with it.

Nigerian Paramilitary Units In Somalia. MOPOL Units Are Also Deployed In Mali. These Are Not Soldiers. Nigerian Soldiers Are A Different Level of Violence. They Are The Mobile Force of The Nigerian Police And Deploy In Active Conflict Situations Home And Abroad. They Are So Crack They Are Known To Even Smoke Tear Gas Canisters. Excellent Marksmen. Hand Combat Is A Pass Time. Together With Nigeria's Military They Total More Than Half A Million Men Under Arms. Paramilitary Units also exist in other security agencies of Nigeria.

ssaengine:
It's similar to saying "US Marines are one of the best trained fighting forces out there". There's no need to go and verify that, its true. SAPS STF is at the upper upper top tier of police training globally. Their training can't be be matched. "Can't be matched".... at that level its irrelevant saying they are 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

Why are they not in the killing fields of Somalia?

ssaengine:
Yes. Most police units globally have inferior training to the special task force, that's a fact. If they are upper tier, is it not then obvious that other police units aren't as well trained? Their training can't be matched.....can't be matched by all units within SA & most units globally.

Why didn't we see them in Bangui?

Odunayaw:
One of the best trained is damn different from can't be matched

Except we r speaking some different language that phrase is equal to saying other police units have inferior training

In short eh...and that clone southie sees these abracadabra and don't call 'em out but derives self esteem responding to Covert. Ah the southies can come here and brag crap as usual in my face ostensibly of course to make them look good and everybody else less than them and is ok they can get away with but I can't state facts of my national pride which in reality and speaking of future potentially trumps there's. See why we say low self esteem. Wetin person no go see, wetin person no go here. So good we didn't see them in Bangui. Oh sry the better Paras (as una get mouth) were run out of town by battle hardened kids. Only picture and mouth no dey win fight just ask Connor. Ya'all must be pained and now I don't give a hoot. Egos on the loose aka Frummie their oga. Make we send some MOPOL to clash with the 'STF' make we see how it ends.

lionel4power:
you really need to stop talking, you're making we Nigerians look bad with your ignore.

.
I was taking you serious before but now its just so difficult when you keep making an 'unnecessary' f.0.0.l of yourself.

.
you are like the laughing stock of this forum and its rubbing badly on all of us.

.
theres no need to defend Nigerian military on the internet. Nigeria is doing exceptionally fine without your help. To be frank you are making it worse.

.
You can do better. you need to do better before you ruin the sanity of this forum.


When other people criticize Nigeria its not as if they dont know the level of the country but they do it mostly for fun and just to get a reaction.

.
The truth is that Nigeria, Egypt, South africa, Algeria, Tunisia, Kenya and Ethiopia are all great and powerful countries in their own rights. we only argue here for FUN and to pass time.

.
BUT IT SEEMS ONLY YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THIS. YOU THINK THIS IS LIKE A WAR THAT YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOURSELF.

.
A word of advise my friend. DONT TAKE NAIRALAND SERIOUS.









.
and please before you say I have low self esteem. My self esteem is
just fine.

Mind your business. If you took me serious i´d be terribly disappointed. You don´t belong with us Wannabee south african. Btw Its ur mouth and you can insult yourself. You not only suffer low-self esteem fits but saboteur bouts too.

SITREP:

Gentlemen, Africa 's most vibrant Army the Nigerian Army is set to commence Operation Python Dance II (EXERCISE EGWU EKE II) In The 82 Division AOR. Stay Alert!

jln115:
Bro Nigeria has no operational frigates, neither do you have any corvettes, your landing ships are like 50 years old,and u also doubt if they are operational.

Nigeria's blue water capability consists out of nns unity, centenary,thunder and okpabana all of which are OPVs.

OPVs that can seriously kick behinds! This is peace time anyway so why carry missiles.

Oh my! Just when I wanted the South Africans to have a day in the sun. Ok at least with inconsequential Lesotho and again this nonsense even when material is put up to disprove their so called invincibility.

You still don't know or want to know how the world works. Wait when war comes comes to find out ah! Nigeria actually has 3 Frigates, 4 Coverttes and 2 Light Frigates plus many fast missile boats and most importantly the depth of human and natural resources to pull off the war. We have and can muster things that matter the most. Put your ego in check ok!

"Southies are just the most proud beings I seen, too proud, just like their cousins in Europe". You don't measure up to the status you can only dream of. Always over punching it's weight. You come up short in all the indices that would make a global power. Period.

Listen, I'm not gonna mince words anymore. Nigeria is the superpower of Africa. Period.

Nok234:
you write well
we all both agree on that, we must consentrate on Nigeria first, but we can't be blinded. You said we have good relationship with the others west African country what I agree to 50% indeed it is far better than it was, but an event showed that those countries are not that on the Nigeria side.. Not somany months back Nentanyahou said something very embarrassing about Nigeria, then he came in Africa to a summit with ECOWAS countries, eventualy Nigeria didnt went there but the others head of states welcome him with huge smiles and all the stuff, I dont think the Germans, Chinese or Russians in the same position we are going to see ther allies welcome him in thise way, and that is even if they welcome him...

We are going a little bit off topic, but I can assure you I usualy follow France 24 and on this channel, Nigeria is the bad boy in Africa with many ambitions blabla we all know the song. Thats why I always say Algeria did the right think after being slaped they opted for Russia + Germany ... Even as an economic partner, France doesnt stand in front of Germany or even the other half-friend that we have UK.

I dont want problems Im not crazy lol Nigeria currently has no chance... But we must put France in mind some times when we procure weapons just a little bit will be enough. And be sure that if we want to be the largest partner of all those countries, dicide in the region, we need to put those guys in mind in 1st place...

France24 is a foreign policy tool of the French govt and nothing less would be expected of it's reportage. I see it too. Everyone sees it. It's a geo-political thing. Russia = Russia Today, Aljazeera = Arabs, CNN = America, BBC = UK etc. Defenceweb and Co. from SA also does the same thing trying to pour cold water on everything Nigeria. We shouldn't be surprised. NTA and Co. has been disappointing. I've always wondered why companies in Nigeria spend millions advertising on CNN and not invest in ours. Well commerce u say. But we must tell our story else they twist it against us.
