Stop talking rubbish.

The Nigerian military is even MORE powerful today, with better training, and more and better weapons.

They can never be as effective fighting an internal terrorist group in Nigeria for the simple reason that their ‘success’ in that depends on the amount of damage they can cause within the country, making it a terrible dilemma, which prevents them from exercising their full strength and armoury on the terrorists/bandits etc.

Send them out to fight a foreign war where there are no such restraints, and you will see they’re a fearsome fighting force.
Cite one instance where NA was a "fearsome fighting force".

People wey dey fear to fight common Niger Republic 🤣😂
Take it or leave it, the Nigerian military is a shadow of itself
These present crop of soldiers can't dislodge any terrorist group, be it in Nigeria, Sierra Leone or Liberia
Re: ECOMOG Operations In Sierra Leone (Historical Images) by OblorOblor: 9:25am On May 28, 2024
Just thinking aloud; can't ECOMOG collaborate in the fight against terrorism among member states, or is there any political/diplomatic reason why it has not been considered?

You don't know know what you are talking about.

Did America destroy the terrorists in Iraq? Has Israel destroyed Hamas? Did Russia not leave Afghanistan in disgrace?

Fighting hit and run terrorists is a far different cry to fighting people who want to hold territory.

The Nigerian armed forces is far more lethal today. You can't even compare the two eras.

Nonsense talk by a mentally unstable supporter of mediocre Nigerian military or you are a mediocre soldier at best who is only good at bullying unarmed civilians, and here trying to defend you/your colleagues' mediocrity and failures.

That was when men were in the military. men with passion for the job.


now we have majority of those that entered soldier bc they dont have job and their uncle na oga for army not bc they hve the passion for it.

Thats why our military has turned to cry-babies in the north and cant dislodge rag-tag gun totting insurgents, killer headsmen and kidnappers.
Who told you it's crybabies soldier that cause insurgents not to be eradicated in nigeria

As if you aren't in dis nigeria

Do you know how much is gotten by politicians and senior military officers by fighting insurgentss

Do you know how much ecomog representatives and arms dealer and others made

You don't know that blood money is sweet

Good old days when Nigeria army was feared in this sub region.
With general Obasanjo as commander in chief.🦾💪
obasanjo was one of the people who weaken the NA due to fear of coup. before then NA was very independent and self sufficient due to years of ruling the country. i try gaining admission into NDA 3times with no luck but rich men kids where been admitted and many had no passion for the military
