In terms of Casualties, number of vehicles involved, nope Abagana haven't been repeated. In terms of pattern of movement and attack. Yes, it have been repeated alot. Jam packing alot of military vehicles in a straight line moving through enemy territory on a narrow road, as if you're going for a field exercise. There alot of ambushes that we lost alot of troops in a single occasion. The Nigerian Army is either not learning or adapting extremely slow.

Correction: Algeria defined its threats more broadly than what you've offered.
They defined their threats logically in terms of both time and space and then set out to rebuild and equip their military accordingly.

1) GIA and AIS (AQIM, GSPC and others were later splinters from these two) were defined as immediate internal threats to be obliterated;

2) Morocco was defined as a mid-term external threat that had to be deterred in the short term and in the long term, defeated in combat should it come to that;

3) France and NATO in general (especially after what transpired in Libya) were defined as long term external threats which could not be defeated but could be deterred by structuring the Algerian military such that war would entail such a heavy price as to be unpalatable.

Personal opinion: I actually rank the Algerians above the Egyptians because Cairo's economy is so poor that without its sugar daddies in the Gulf, it would not be able to sustain total war on its own.

In that case you are smarter than World bank that placed Nigeria on IDA, ask yourself why you are on that list first before selling your opinion albeit baseless.

You Africans should first learn how to think before stringing facts together.
If you can't think, your fact is useless.

Now if you want to think, ask yourself what makes a country wealthy? grab that list then juxtappse it with Nigeria, I just told you Nigeria cannot afford a $10b Capital expenditure in a pop, you are typing a sermon to tell me what you think instead of getting me that $10b annual expenditure.

True, almost all major projects funding comes from loans,we have avenues and ways to generate money in Nigeria. If the mismanagement, misplaced priorities and corruption continues, we'll keep claiming we don't have money while having peeps who are creating a fortune for themselves from the country's wealth. Nigeria is a mismanaged country, not a poor one.

BlackBaron:


For one, its population is oversized but not as productive.

Look at our education or health budget for example. Even before releasing funds (some of which gets stolen), it is barely enough to adequately cover a quarter of the states.

All stolen funds recovered have barely made a dent on our infrastructural needs.

Example :Germany's health budget for 2019 was 410 billion Euros which is our entire Federal budget for the next 7+ years.

I hear that Dogo Gide is down.

Overheard mess gist so not 100%

I'm not sure the issue is mainly one of productivity and waste. For the size of your economy, it seems to me that your tax collection is in serious need of repair.

Lurker4Long:


I disregard the US military aid as the conditions attached mean that assets procured can only be utilised with Uncle Sam's approval. That's why alms from Gulf have been splurged on non-US materiel.

Even when US aid is included, Egypt's main p.imp is now the Gulf countries:

--Total US economic & military aid to Egypt (1946 to 2020) - USD 81 billion [source: American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt];

--Total Gulf economic & military aid to Egypt (2011 to 2020) - USD 92 billion [source: Central Bank of Egypt].

BlackBaron:

Inadequate infrastructure means cost of production is quite high. Few multinationals are unwilling to stake a gamble in environments like that.

Even though there's concerted efforts for efficient taxing, a tax base consisting of a large informal workers/economy would struggle to generate adequate funds.

cutievik:


So na Bello Turaji remain.
