Noticed how this will never make first page despite Nigeria being 35th in the world.

Let's remember that a certain government shared $2billion, just imagine what that would have done to our military if well applied.

Nigeria has no war history,the only war Nigeria military has ever won is war against civilians,in 1967 they broke the rule of war by killing innocent civilians especially children in Biafra ,in 2021 they killed innocent protesters in lekki,Nigeria has not even fought war of independence ans cannot survive international invasion..

Shame really far from this people. So they are the fourth most powerful military, yet they scamper at the sight of bandits, running away like scared kids.

That UK publication already said everything there's to say; that nigerian military is only powerful on paper. The so-called expensive military equipments they bought are sold/given to Bokoharam/iswap terrorists by Fulani army generals. The Economist exposed all these things.

This rvbbish post of military power BS is a stupidly failed attempt at damage control. I say failed bcoz, no sensible person will take this yeye fabricated reports over The Economist. Know this and know peace, cow people.

Thanks for educating people as much as you have done, if you have an interest in joining a non toxic group with Nigeria military enthusiasts then come in to a group I belong to, search 'Battlefieldgroup01' on google and join the Telegram group. You wouldn't regret it.
