My understanding about military reserves
Are people trained as military but are not in active service
But when they are needed they require little or no training to handle military equipments....
And we don't do this in Nigeria

What about our A-jet, F7Ni interceptors, Albatross, JF-17 thunder, besides Nigeria has more than 500 tanks. So, it is true Nairaland is filled with dumb ignorant folks that don't know anything about their country. I always knew Nigerians belittle their country out of sheer ignorance, low self-esteem and stupidity.So you fools don't even know that Nigerian military is rated No:4 in Africa, after Egypt, Algeria and South Africa and 35th in the world.

That is when NYSC should come in... But the Idea was frowned at, because trained graduate with the skill to operate guns will lead to national disaster, because there is no job in the country. So they remove training NYSC members with artilleries
Re: Ukraine Vs Nigeria Military Strength by Lipscomb(m): 10:34pm On Feb 27, 2022
Even we don't have enough active personnel not talk on reserve you are right about your definition.

Your post is incorrect and void. Do well to state facts before posting.



Incase you fools don't know, Nigeria has more than 300 tanks, and awhile lot more combat vessels, combat aircraft and helicopters as well as active personnel than what is listed here.

It should also interest you to know that Nigeria has the 4th best military in Africa, and we dropped to 4th place because of the unsolved boko-haram issues. We are also 35th best military in the world


Don't be misguided, do your research
