From history, we have seen that how a country gets its independence tells on how it treats it's future. Israel got her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice and today we can see her military. China got her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice as well, being humiliated and dehumanized by Imperial Japan and today we see how they've taken a stand never to allow a repeat of such again. If Biafra gets her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice it will forever be in Biafrans mind making them super patriotic and will flood in mass into their military force. Owing to her large population of 25 million people, this gives her advantage to get a lot of citizens willing to stand to the defense of the land. The only thing I see which some might term a disadvantage is lack of a naval force due to the fact that the tribes of SS have expressed that they will not be part of Biafra, not withstanding a lack of a navy is not a lack of a strong military force. Biafra could field nothing less than 500000 soldiers and above. Nigeria could push Biafra to create one of the strongest military force in Africa.

If the Nigerian government should indulge Turkey in it request, the reprisal will not be in favour of the Nigerian government. It will become the rise of Biafra for Israel will support IPOB militarily and financially. It is totally unadvisable for Buhari led Government to interfere in this issue. Strategically speaking Nigeria is on the total verge of collapsing, so many nations are trying to break free from Nigeria for Israel to get to Biafra it will support the Ijaw nation and from there a direct access to Biafra has been made, if Nigeria fails on suppressing this 2 nations others in the South will take up arms to free themselves as well a typical example if this can be seen in Boko Haram and ISWAP. ISIS came into Nigeria after years of Boko Haram menace, Sunday Igboho came to prominence after years of Nnamdi Kanu agitation, Middle Belt and Midwestern Republic have started as well. “it’s easier to crush evils in their infancy than when grown to maturity.” Those words were written on March 28, 1775, by General Thomas Gage. |
richmond500:Like I said earlier, it will make the south more bold to challenge the Government. All what ESN is doing the Ijaw nation has done it before and even more than this. When there is total breakdown of law in the most of the south the government cannot handle it. It takes only 1% of a country's population to shut down the government |
Another Civil War looming? Well let's take the time and carry out a probability of such outcome. If Nigeria should suffer another civil war, a lot of things will undergo starting with even the smallest of tribes getting nationalistic, for example the Ogoni people with a population of over 2 million people in number have once fought for an independent nation as far back as the 1990s agitated for their own country. This was a time not as hot as it is under Buhari's regime. Nigeria will see Tribes and ethnic groups all full of doubts for her neighbours and wanting nothing to do with its neighbour leading to more than 6 nations coming out of this country, funny as it may seem only people without sentiments will agree. Nigeria's Northern territory under intense suffering through war might see itself balkanized in two nationalities, the Hausas-Fulanis to the west and the Kanuris to the east. With each side blaming the other for what has befallen their hegemony over the south. The Ijaws have been known to be a very nationalistic tribe with some people calling them the Southern Fulanis, it won't be surprising to see them agitate to be left alone or for their neighbours to reject partnership with them to create a nation. The Oduduwa people an already large tribe will large land will have to battle at their northern territory for Kwara. The Edo people, a people known to have have their loyalty to their King and having tasted what African democracy is, won't be surprising if they opt for a return of Monarchical system of rule, they will have to work on uniting their brethrens scattered in Delta and other States who claim to have their origins from Benin. The Nigerian government should not underestimate the type of warfare the ESN has started, a dialogue is better as this unconventional warfare is very effective against conventional Armies. |
MansoryMX:Very true though. |
MansoryMX:The F-22 Raptor has been discontinued |
Strategically speaking, an open interference with Israel will be militarily devastating for Iran. Israeli military has been on full military drill all year round since her independence, and with constant military aid from USA government. The latest F-35 5th generation Jet which is currently the most powerful in the world, Israel is the only nation in the Middle East who owns such jet. There are currently 27 F-35 jets in Israel and by 2024 there will be 50 in total. This alone has made Israel the most powerful airforce in the Middle East. Iran on the other hand lack modern Jets owing to the restrictions placed on it by the US government. Iran is not powerless though, as they have been able to build their own weapons on Iranian soil like the Karrar, an Iranian-built clone of the Beechcraft MQM-107 Streaker, and missiles as well. But not withstanding none of this compares to the weapons in the asernal of Israel, as they have both their in house made weapons and the US military weapons. Aside these, both nations are nuclear capable, though Israel denies it. Israel could as well support the Kurdish people with training and weapons to fight Iran for Thier independence though this spread to Iraq, Syria, and Turkey as the Kurdish people are balkanized into this 4 nations with an Ethnic population of Three hundred million (300000000). Iran will not risk all this as US military will be with Israel as well if the war doesn't go in the favour of Israel and will be slapped with further sanctions. |
1. Hezbollah : A terrorist organisation with 100000 missiles in its asernal, this group has a large say in What happens in the country Lebanon. This organization is also credited with going to war with Israel however not totally successful and had to reach a truce. 2. Hamas : Hamas a terrorist organisation with 10000 missiles in it's asernal, this group is in charge of the Gaza strip after ceasing control of the place from the Palestinian authority. This organization is always at logger heads with the State of Israel. 3. ISIS : This organization overran Iraq and Syria simultaneously and defeated the countries military battle after battle. 4. Taliban : This organization once overran and seized total control of Afghanistan and chased out the Russian military from Afghanistan soil 5. The Houthi Rebels : This organization shut down the Yemen Government and seized a large swath of Yemen also capturing thousands of Saudi Arabia soldiers Most African nations lack the weapons and training of this Middle East Nations and will easily fall in a battle against this organizations |
