Fighter Pilot: When I first read about it I couldn't believe my eyes and when I saw it on the news, I rubbed my eyes in a complete disbelief. It was announced officially that SA is no longer listed as a developing Country and that she and Turkey were the latest to be officially classified as DEVELOPED COUNTRIES.

SA is no longer classified as developing country by CIA, the world body which classify developmental state of any country. Here below is a weblink to read further.

Goodbye the old SA.

Ndubuisi711: Do you know what does SA awaits us to do? They are waiting us to commit a blunderbuss mistake regarding appropriation of our budget. One simple mistake will have potential of knocking Nigeria out of the competition for good and impact negatively in our economic growth. The only thing that keep us going is because we have more money to stay in the competition and once that money can be affected, we will trip and fall down and be overtaken for ever. Do you ever think that if Egypt can get the opportunity to overtake Nigeria will they ever allow Nigeria to overtake them again. The answer is big NO, they will have learned from their mistake and put all their investment where it should be. Investors will drop us like hot potatoes and run after those promising economies irrespective of whether they have strong military or not, for so long the country has a stability. Is that what you want?

Ndubuisi711: Sorry, I am employed by the federal government and your being in America has really intensified your backwardness about current news in Nigeria. Luckily our federal government is not led by psycho like you who are over-obsessed about military and rather ignore the people's needs to quench their narrow interest. It is apparent that your education about such industries is solely based on the internet and there are some realities that you cannot necessarily learn from the internet and rather would have to go to school to learn about that. It looks to me that your over-obsession about military power has really diverted your attention about the government priorities and for which military is not one.

I can even post many weblinks that will educate you about the government strategy and focus. Gone are those years when military used to be prioritised over peoples basic needs. Nigeria looks like a jungle today because of those leaders who used to have the very same faulty ideas like yours. We are very lucky that Nigeria has sober leaders today and that's why you have seen in the recent years Nigeria overtaking the likes of Egypt and on its way to unseat SA as economic power of Africa.

I repeat, Nigeria has no any intention of procuring heavy armaments other than small arms. Our politicians have over-emphasised the fact that heavy artillery will not make Nigeria to look beautiful and rich rather will starve its people.

LT SHANGY: I recently noticed a fascinating trend in the NA OFFENSIVE AGAINST BOKO HARAM/ANSAR DINE TERRORISTS, The use of airstrikes and special forces to dislodge the terrorists,then the regular forces comes up as mop-up forces is interesting, i think they learnt alot from the french forces in the recently concluded malian offensive. thus aquiring minimal casualties.excellent form for the NA. THESE SANDF RETREAT TACTICS is tactless. notice the covering fire is at the front(the last man should be doing that), the last foto makes me think the retreat is in dissaray.
