5th is a speculation guy be realistic, I thought I once saw an article some time this year that suggested Naija is on the verge of becoming the continent super power.

DONBROTHER1:
In my own rating, Nigeria is the first and not that fifth.

Jaycool18:
you don't need to experience trouble before u upgrade ur military, before Nigeria had bh they were still rated among the best in the world so what r u saying

How can Ethiopia with $340 million budget have a greater fire power than SA with a budget of $4.6 Billion?

DozieInc:

Nigeria is the first in terms of combat ready troops, but lacks sophisticated military hardware and intelligence.

eightsin:
I thought Nigeria is a superpower in Africa.

Ekaka1:


Simple....SAs are diverting the Money budgeted for Military Hardware to Xenophobic activities

RickRichards:

10. LIBYA


The 2011 Libya revolution has placed question marks on the military capabilities of a country with population of just over 6 million. Almost 3 million citizens are fit for service and just about 116,000 people reach service age each year but these small numbers correlate quite oppositely to the artillery and ammunition the country boasts of when compared with other African countries. Libya boasts of 500 tanks, 2,500 armored fighting vehicles, 400 self propelled guns, 800 rocket projectors, 1050 potable AT weapons, over 600 air crafts and 121 helicopters and $880 million pumped in to defence every year.

1. EGYPT


Egypt is a country in the north of Africa with a staggering population of 94 million people and has faced major political crises in the recent past but this has not changed its position as a leading African country when it comes to military strength. A significant percentage of Egypt’s population (over 35 million) are fit for active military service and more than 1.5 million individuals reach the military age every year. With almost 5000 tanks including armoured fighting vehicles, self propelled guns and towed artillery, Egypt is a force to reckon with when it comes to Africa. Having a total of 1,100 aircraft including 245 helicopters, 343 fighters, 390 trainer aircraft and 28 mine warfare, 84 serviceable air ports and a budget of over $4bn pumped into Egypt’s defence every 365 days make Egyptian military the strongest among other countries in Africa.

In my opinion, Nigeria should be the first. There was this story about a certain time when Nigerian Soldiers were sent on a joint peace keeping mission in an African country (either Dafur of Sierra-Leone... i can't remember which) with the military of other selected African countries with UN heading the contingency.

One day, the rebels in that country who were known to be very ruthless came to a town which was bordering the capital and took over the town. The UN soldiers went to confront them and the rebels fought them back and the UN soldiers suffered very heavy casualties and had to retreat and re-enforce with some other soldiers from the other African countries like Cameroon etc. They went back there and suffered the same or even worse fate in the hands of the rebels.

The Nigerian soldiers who were camping some kilometres away from that place were called upon cos there was this fear that if the rebels advanced into the capital of that country, it would cause serious problems. So when the Nigerian soldiers arrived in the UN camp, the commander insisted that his boys only would go to confront the rebels without any assistance and the UN gave them the go ahead though they were skeptical about the numbers of the soldiers on the Nigerian side as against the large number of rebels.

The Nigerian soldiers proceeded to the place and according to civilian witnesses, as the soldiers were advancing they were being shot at by the rebels but surprisingly the bullets were not penetrating them and the hand grenades thrown at them did not detonate. The soldiers killed 3/4 of the rebels, arrested some while the rest retreated back into the bushes.

Unfortunately, the CNN and BBC started giving credit to the UN soldiers and attributed that particular feat to them leaving the Nigerian soldiers at the sidelines.

I'm inclined to believe you. I won't even ask for pictures!

One question, though:

Are you talking about these guys that Boko was strafing anyhow in the Northeast?
