[s]Its not even designed for the same role bro!! The Ezugwu does not have the same designed concept.....at all!! if you said Casspir or Mamba then it would've been a different story!!

Stop being so stubborn you were wrong, admit it and move on, as simple as that!![/s]

Irrelevant.

its not an opinion its a fact.

1. the Ratel is 6x6 not 4x4
2. The Ratel engine sits at the rear not the front
3. And most importantly the Ratel is an IFV not a Mrap

Same design concept does not mean they look the same.

Anyway, that's irrelevant, what relevant is the fact that Nigeria fields many types of locally built armoured infantry support vehicles.

It doesn't look anything like the Ratel neither was it designed with the same concept in mind.

You're entitled to your own opinion.

Eg CAR

Seleka got support via some of the neighbouring countries who acted as proxies for the West.

Anti balaka got support by shady groups exploiting the mineral resources of CAR as proxies for the West.

End result is quantum of support shifts towards the side who is in a better position to given indirect control. But importantly a state of conflict is maintained even though low keyed , but just primed enough to set it off again if so desired.

Main goal is to prevent a strong national government who will exercise full sovereignty of the resources of the country.

Sir, even if all you said are true, what about the incredibly ineptness of some Africa governments.

You mix that with Tribalism, and you see why many African countries are easily manipulated.

This is from an African POV.

No negativity..... But the Ezugwu MRAP is ugly as fuckkkk...

Probably the ugliest vehicle on planet earth...

That's why we love it.

Quite a number of people say it's ugly, but i really don't see that.

I think it looks nice, for it's design.

Same design concept as the Ratel, there's another South-African vehicle that it looks like, and the Chinese vehicle used by Cameroun.

Its very important that the Government continues to fund the Navy's ship-building program,and that the Navy gets equally more adventurous ship size wise so that a step by step growth in ship size is maintained. I wish the air-force had such a programme, even if it was for trainers.
By now, naval engineers dont see any magic in ship building any more and are hungry to scale up.

The good thing is, although the dockyard is owned by the government, all fabrications are carried out by local defence contractors.

The government should continue ordering ships and vessels from Nigeria.

The new SDB shows an innovative new design, better than the Karaduwa and far better than the Andoni.

While Karaduwa has the same design as the boats we import from Ocea yearly, the new SDB looks similar in shape to NNS Centenary and Unity. Or some of the vessels I see built in Indonesia and Vietnam.

I just want the Navy to build a very big boat, 85 meters long, but I can manage 65 meters.

Air Force has many local products, including armed drones in development. As we've seen in Syria an investment in armed drones cannot go wrong.

Iran and Turkey use a huge amount of armed drones in their engagements in Syria.

Please do anyone have an idea if nns karaduwa have the capability of launching missiles

It doesn't have.

It is armed with a 30mm RWCS as it's main armament.

You showed me nothing!!

Here are the actual facts:

information and communication
technologies Itc development index:

South Africa 92nd only behind Mauritius and
Seychelles much smaller island nations

Nigeria: 143rd

Global innovation index

South Africa : 63rd highest in Africa

Nigeria: 114th around 7th or 8th in Africa

Technology Achievement Index (TAI)

South Africa : 71st highest in Africa

Nigeria : 148th around 9th in Africa

So how is Nigeria more technologically advanced again?

Forbes has a different take.

Rankings without real world applications?

How is Mauritius a tiny island higher?

How wide spread are their apps?
