I am not shifting any goal post. South Africa will be building the world biggest hydro power in the centre of Africa which will benefit the whole of Africa including Nigeria at a cost.
SA has no lakes otherwise we could have had plenty of those.

SA is building?,lol,you invested in a white elephant project my dear.if congo ever manages to complete the project,we would have already surpassed those statistics.

That is a biggest lie on mother earth. What is it that Nigeria will be doing and SA not doing? Our so called power crisis which I do not see as power crisis since I do not mind to live without power for only three hours once a week, is not going to last for over three years. I bet you, once our three new power stations kick start and shed to the grid the problem will be a history.

South Africans are used to electricity such that they do not even want to miss it for only 30 minutes. Just take power from South Africans for only 5-6 hours and see that it will make the headlines tomorrow. Many African countries including Nigeria are used to the dark and they are now comfortable with it.

Thats not my cup of tea,believe in your white elephant pigeon pie projects....2020 isnt far off..

Yeah, lets just ignore the allmost 3000 domestically produced and designed armored and supply vehicals in the Army alone

All your engines are imported and vehicles/hand rifles are the largest percentage of your so called South African made weapons industry.

Basic armored vehicles won't win you a war, ordinary Boko Haram Toyota mounted 23 mm gun or hand held RPG will tear all SANDF armoured vehicles and MRAPs into pieces.

The jets, tanks, missiles, ships, submarines that will win war for South Africa are all imported from Europe.

Stop telling lies here you fraudster !

How has it ended up for us? top 20 arms exporter in the world... thats how

You are almost bottom of the top 20 table, you beat nonentities like Azerbaijan on that freaking table.

SA arms export data on SIPRI shows South Africa re-exporting weapons imported from Europe including Mirage/Cheetah jets and Allouette/Puma helicopters all made in France.....it's a freaking top 20 table and you are almost bottom of the table.

Nothing to be proud of when South Africa is ranked next to Azerbaijan cheesy

No, Nigerians gave input on how to improve an existing platform suited to your needs.

How can nigeria, that has never built an MRAP, school anyone?

How are American MRAP's better?

Nigerians actively participated in the design and final build of the Ikri(Nigerian name) MRAP.

Nigerian policemen in South-Africa further provided technical details on making the Vehicle more cost-effective and efficient.

How aren't American MRAPs better?

So have Bushmasters, Cougars, Typhoons.

All countries follow a strict guideline for domestic production dummy! Nobody excerpt the South-Africans who allowed Denel go bankrupt. Local defence industries are about protectionism and protectionist policies.

Limited capabilities to do things does not make a thing a thing

Its MPA according to the manufacturer

Show us where the sources say those capabilities are limited.....your voodoo wish cheesy

Yes manufacturer says it's an MPA with a radar manufactured for air to sea, air to land, and air to air searches up to 407 km range.

So manufacturer confirms NAF ATR-42 Surveyor is MPA + ISTAR + AWACS all 3 combined.....3 in 1 multirole aircraft.

• NAF has tested it on sea against pirates.

"GABBIANO FOR SEA SURVEILLANCE
Gabbiano is ideal for Search and Rescue and maritime
surveillance missions. In addition to the standard air-tosurface
search modes with TWS, this radar provides the high
resolution (ISAR) mode which enables the user to classify
the intercepted targets."

• Then NAF tested in on land against Boko Haram.

"GABBIANO FOR GROUND SURVEILLANCE
The Gabbiano Radar provides all the features for Homeland
Security missions, primarily aimed at border protection, or in
Combat Search and Rescue missions.
High resolution modes (Spot Synthetic Aperture Radar and
Strip Synthetic Aperture Radar) grant a sub-meter resolution
over wide swath areas. GMTI mode allows detection of
moving targets on ground."

• Next test will be by NAF against SAAF ! Our Gabbiano Radar in AWACS air to air mode plus ECCM when we track almost the entire fleet of 226 South African air force aircraft 407 km away using only one NAF ATR-42 Surveyor, then you will know that doomsday has arrived for SAAF if your fleet dares to fly !

"GABBIANO FOR AIR SURVEILLANCE
Air to Air mode allows detection of moving targets on air."

GAME OVER....SAAF has ZERO AWACS aircraft.....NAF is 100 years ahead. tongue
