FieldMarshall06: Nigeria has the strongest military in Africa. The Second is Ethiopia. Nigeria is a regional power and hegemon. Hegemon covers Africa, not just West Africa.
History and facts support it. Not shiny weapons in open desert terrain. ... and we have been through this topic in the past. I remember it was with this topic that I joined this thread. And I raised issues about Egypt, including their over 15 defeats in war, their dependence on the Nile river, whose dam now threatens their very existence. As always, insults flowed back then.
Pease, no point debating it afresh. This is based on established facts, not shiny weapons.
Don't bother to argue,,, lets agree to disagree.
Nigeria & Ethiopia are the dominant military powers on the continent and are the two most populous black countries, both still undefeated in war. No North African country can defeat Ethiopia, let alone Nigeria. V Disappears.....
frosbel2: These are the same people tweeting hashtag #Nigeriansmustfall , yet they have no value for their own women, they abuse them, rape them, molest them, murder them and make their lives hell.
Bloody hypocrites.
39% of your youth have been sexually abused according to the UN and Amnesty international, so I would shut up if I were you.
Lionessza6: LMFAO, poor things ,they are coming at me from all angles . What will I be next ,? A BLF ant? . Atleast you are using a SA moniker this time ,I can respect your re'tardation a bit more than the others hiding behind Nigerian monikers to spread propaganda .
& I would love for us to talk more about the VBS corrupt CEO who allowed VBS to be looted ;the incompetent ,bafoon of them all .
& another thing ,why cant Ramaphosa minions defend him without talking badly about anyone else? .
Wanyela jy dink ek is n Zoo animal ne. The real question should be why do you hate Ramaphosa so much is it because your time to eat is over
RuudVanNisteroy: All we hear about is the massive corruption of your political leaders since apartheid ended and the falling apart of your hospitals,power sector and other infrastructure left behind for you to manage. South African leaders need to be more like their progressive like their Botswana and Namibia counterparts and shun corruption that is prevalent throughout the continent.
Botswana and Namibia combined have a population less then SA's smallest sized Gauteng province so it can hardly be used as a model of excellence. Botswana though governed well is hardly a model for democracy with its predominantly one party state thats been in power since its independence. Namibia have its own problems with corruption same as SA.
Lionessza6: LMFAO, he wouldn't dare go out like this without security ,don't believe the propaganda,its all a PR scam for the entertainment of the borderline r'etarded among us .
But even your boyfriend CIC of VBS cant even walk the streets without he's white boys wielding aka47's to protect him from he's own red ants.
Lionessza6: What about VBS? Has anyone produced evidence of this looting by EFF members & other African *leaders *? .
LMFAO, saner party like the DA . COPE maybe . Or even better FFPlus or become a fake pastor with the ACDP
So you a Radicalized Fighter, I'm so disappointed i thought I could one day get to capitalize you and WMC your body for my Neocolonialist self I'm very hurt
SouthAfrican Defense company to produce medical ventilators for local and SADC region in the coming weeks.
Denel will design and develop medical ventilators in partnership with other state-owned entities, research bodies and medical technology companies to help treat coronavirus patients, the state arms and technology company said on Sunday.
Governments and hospitals globally have pleaded with manufacturers to speed up production of ventilators to cope with a surge in patients struggling to breathe.

At least 22 major infrastructural projects worth over $47bn have been linked to Chinese firms as China continues to support its companies to win prime contracts in Nigeria to maintain a foothold on the nation’s economy. The projects cut across vital sectors of the nation’s economy such as power, rail, road, aviation and communications. Investigations by The PUNCH showed that Chinese construction corporations had not only found favour with the Federal Government to execute its critical projects, a number of state governments’ major contracts had gone to companies from the country. https://www.msn.com/en-xl/africa/nigeria/chinese-firms-handling-dollar47bn-key-fgs-projects/ar-AAGtjGr
All built by the Chinese who owns all of your country's construction projects. Nigerians cant built jack shiìiit without the help of either South African companies or Chinese.
iammo: but who cares which part is hillbrow or Shitville, you lazy folks shouldn't be living in shaks in 2020 ..
F*ckt@rd 50% of your population live in urban and rural slums according to the World Bank yet here you are spewing your alternative truth as if it exonerate you from your uselessness. Now read this you fool because i work with facts not urban Igbo myths https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-51677371
Bigleaf1006: Considering the population of Nigeria, illiteracy will definitely exceed SA's,even India have higher figures than Nigeria.
However Nigeria has more educated people than SA and also more skilled work force than SA.
About disease burden,we all know the HIV capital of the world
Thats the response of a illiterate trying to hide the fact that South Africans are more literate then Nigerians who has over 100m people who cant read or write. Our Universities and schools are rated the Top in all of Africa when it comes to research output, yet here you come and spew your ignorance.
As for disease burden SA's life expectancy tells us all that on average a South African lives longer then a yellow fever Igbo Igbo bast@rd.
Bigleaf1006: The last I checked,SA is way ahead of Nigeria in all these indices- there are more illegal arms in Soweto alone than the entire west africa!!
Where did you check or get your info from, because if that was the truth we would be suffering from the same insurgency and ISWAP issues like you guys in West Africa. But last time i checked SADC is the most stable region in SSA.
Bigleaf1006: However if u agree that HIV and illiteracy is an homegrown problem in SA,then u are one of the reasonable few out there!!
The irony is that Nigeria has a far lower literacy rate then SA and has a far larger disease burden compared to SA and I'm not even touching on Nigeria's infant mortality rate.
Mazigabriel: The Obama care has been in constant battle with Trump administration has finally won the battle. The Obama care is a policy set by Ex President Obama which requires Americans to be implanted with a 'Radio frequency Identification' (RFID) on the forehead or Arm before receiving medical treatments. Question is why must it be on the forehead or Arm where The Bible warned the mark of the beast will be placed. Note: without the mark, you cannot buy, sell or receive medical treatments.
With all this hate you will still lag South Africa in all HDI indexes. You will still have 4times more poorer Nigerians and you will still flood SA embassy for Visas to come and scam South Africans.
kikuyu1: Imo, there's the distinct possibility Erdogan has mental problems from his Ottaman delusions or has been secretly mind controlled by one or more parties to destabilise the ME!? Seen the latest? He wants the Pac 3 after Vlad has begun supplying the S 400 and agreed to sell the Su 57.
panafrican: Another man sent to harsh jail term with all his life ruined for having sex with a woman although she knowingly and willingly walked into hotel rooms on several occasions during a long period of time for a date. The stupid court ( The Jury and the presiding judge) refused to use their brains When are women going to be held accountable for lying about rape in America ? When are they going to stop using sex as a weapon in their revengeful campaign against successful men who refused to be blackmailed.?
Im not surprised, this coming from a pedophile like you. It is plainly affident that you support the current rape culture by powerful men who thinks they have the right to abuse woman and children alike.
panafrican: This is one of the reasons why Trump got elected after Obama turned the world upside down with that type of reasoning Questions: 1.Do you want your child to be raised by a gay couple? 2. If someone engages in a marriage that they know will not make them have kids why should they be allowed to raise other people's children?
The only thing this Buti-something is dreaming about is actually not the US presidency, it is that devilish big kiss he would give to his gay partner in front of the world live on TV with more than 200 million viewers all over the world, the day of the presidential inauguration, if he ever got elected. This kiss will be a roll call to all gay people all over the world. BTW , is he the wife or the husband of his partner ? Disgusting.
This here is why you will remain a useless nobody.
ChybuzzDD: Nothing was said about Islamic terrorism that has been ravaging most of the African countries, and has been a major bane to economic development. Instead, the emphasis was on colonialism and western imperialism, condemnation of Trump's Arab peace plan and Palestinian issues, just to please a few despotic jihadist muslim leaders amongst them. Is it colonialism that is still massacring out people and ravaging our communities with bombs and bullets? Is it colonialism that's responsible for the widespread kidnapping and human trafficking that are now common in our societies? Don't they recognize the menace widespread terrorism and these other evils aer posing to the development of the region? Don't they see the need for a firm and united front against these evils? Who will invest in countries where bombs are going off every minute of the day, and where security of lives and property is non-existent? What business do they have with the Palestinian people when most of the African communities are wallowing in years of injustice and human rights abuses and modern slavery? When you see our leaders, you'll immediately see why our continent is underdeveloped. Blockheads! Tufiakwa!
You can never tackle terrorism without addressing the issues of lack development and marginalization that leads to people joining terror groups. The best way to fight any terror group is with inclusive economic growth.
US policy is part of what drives terrorism in Africa including the fact that if you keep africa in perpetual instability then its easier for others to exploit its resources.

Lionessza6: Ramaphosa & his Western masters think they are smart , they have been busy collapsing Eskom since the 90s so that it could be privatised & ofcourse they would be the ones to own & control it ( giving them control of many of the economies of the SADC block). They got rid of Zuma via an economic coup , state capture by the " zuptas" they called ,up until today there has been no evidence of this capture & most of the accusers have changed their stories . They called the Zuma years " 9wasted years " & rightfully so because it was hell for the imperialists agenda in South Africa, they were being called into order from all corners . Eskom performed better, load shedding was stopped, the enterprise was emaking money ,Nersa even said the most maintenance done on eskom was during this time ( ANYONE WHO WANTS PROOF OF THESEZ CLAIMS, CAN ASK, I WILL GLADY POST THEM HERE). Eskom isn't a problem, the people who have hijacked it are. They are now causing crisis after crisis, and the house nigga president has been part of this since the 80's& possible before that. They pushed this stooge infront of everyone else for a reason ,they donated 1billion rands for his campaign( judges ,celebrities ,bitter political stooges ,fake femiscide victims , student leaders you name it. People were bribed & sponsored ).
Some of the culprits & i will be waiting for their representatives
My dear it seems you know nothing about engineering, when it comes to ESKOM its all about no maintenance of 40year old plants and Unions who wants highter wages without any increase in productivity + zero accountability by the former and current Board. Another thing you forgot here is Brian Molefi who told us about maintenance yet the very money for it was diverted to give pay increases and 6 months after Brian was apointed for the second time he got a R30m pension, that was eventually deemed fraudulent by the Concourt.
Anyway you sound like a CIC deployee shouldn't you be on your way to your fake policy conference.
SupremeCourt: Its disclosed, USA keeps no secrets. Like Nigerian deal was published your was published. Find another lie to tell, RSA does not have 200 Paveway bombs. Maybe you have 30 bombs I guess, yours was in Anti-Africa Obama era. This Trump loves Nigeria for killing terrorists.
Why do we need paveways when Denel has the much a better Umbani PGM with longer range then the monkey model Paveway II you have that continuously miss there targets in Yemen.
SupremeCourt: Give us a list of how many African countries North or South or West or East have the new long distance concrete bunker buster laser guided precision Paveway Bombs NAF Tucano is getting in hundreds. Give us a list of countries. Thanks you.
We have those and something better with a 100km precision strike designed right here in the South, Augubugu.
Covert1: No, by region I'm talking of Africa. Depending on which country in sub-Saharan Africa and not just west Africa the Tucano may suffice as some of these countries pose no credible threat. Some have planes but have no Air Force. Nigeria has other assets other than the JF-17 thunders to meet some of the threats that currently exist. The JF-17 thunder will be an over-kill for some of these countries.
One Starstreak is more then enough to deal with a non existing Tucano threat in sub sahara.
jl115: Last time i checked you barley ever contribute to this thread and only show up when the arguments start flying!!
and btw if you actually bothered reading my posts i explicitly said i was part of the so called e wars and said we(as in including me) should move it to another thread, I tried twice today!!
Dude are you daft, hard headed or just argumentative. Do you even listen to yourself sometimes or do you think just because you post pics that it makes you better and even more important than others who follow this thread.
Some of us here love to come and view pics and occasionally participate on matters here, so whether you like it or not you have no right to come and dictate, who shall have the right to engage on matters on this thread or are you the player/referee all at once.
jln115: Nowhere did anyone claim this is a thread for military experts, Henry started this thread to share photos of African militaries and to rebut the stereotypical view non Africans have about militaries on this continent.
most of the contributers are civilians we have quite a few who are actual soldiers and work for their respective militaries.
And though we might be civilians I can assure you we are much more well versed in military matters than your average civilian.
Lastly when we don't have trolls this thread is civil
Let it be because last time I checked you were one of those starting e wars here. Don't act like you're a saint
cristianisraeli: ur apartheid grandfathers killed southafricans and stole their wealth and u are here talking poo..bury ur head in shame u racist little worm...my boot will crush u
Blah blah blah....!!! warri buttthead keep on dreaming.
