Weak brains call names on faceless fora, you will understand the economic advantage South Africa has over Nigeria when you grow up.

Have you seen the official stats of the trade volume btw both countries? I laugh when you all just make sweeping statements about Nigeria being the most powerful in Africa. maybe you all wanna sound patriotic, but the evidences abound, even militarily Nigeria won't stand SA, talk more of Algeria or Egypt.
Before we even begin what is the numerical strength of the armed forces again? and what's our budget/spendings for defence in the last 20yrs? No doubt Nigeria has potential to be the best but how can you achieve that without investing on your military?
mind you SA has nuclear technology o .
We go dey alright las las.

AskiaHarem:
Egypt and Algeria are out of the question yes, but South Africa is overrated. It has no "astronomical" economic advantage over Nigeria. At what little it has is set to plummet in the coming years. Shoot over 80% of the "wealth" and industry there is in the hands of 6000 European families(less than %9 of the population) who have there own interest and trade more with there western relative countries.

It's easy to say "Shoot" if I may ask, what platforms has Nigeria got to carryout such mission? are the so called European families (Boers)not South-africans? or will the SAn armed forces fold their arms and watch you raid their country? We should be realistic, and tell ourselves the truth, the Nigerian government needs to do more in terms of funding the military, we don't even come close to SA with respect to military spendings, even during the Nigerian civil war both warring sides hired SAn mercenaries because of their experience.

Did you guys hear? The marauders claim to have executed two Nigerian Soldiers.

AskiaHarem:
Nahhhh Nigeria is "currently" punching below its potential unfortunately but the whole South Africa statement is fantastical exaggerated nonsense.

@SamuelAnyawu if you see the cache of military hardware/materiel in ISWAPs possession, it’s just as if we are buying it indirectly for them to use, how Soldiers run into ambushes calls for large scale investigation, we lose light skinned technicals, APCs, Tanks and above all, soldiers pay the Supreme price and are being used as a tool for Propaganda, what is the FG doing about fifth columnists and those sympathetic to BHTs(all faction), a whole lot of thing is wrong with the war against terrorists.

Certain top hierarchy are not ready to end this war. Whenever i see 100s of brand new military hilux patrolling the Northeast i just smile. Hilux of over 15 Million been used and discarded at will Surely procurement will always smile,whenever a car is destroyed or taken away because it definitely means new procurement

[b]Pix attached taken by my Nokia 3310 the military ambush at Ali Gambari 3weeks ago. A cool Hilux burnt completely with the AA Gun missing. An example of new vehicle procurement loading

you should have asked him why the influx of his countrymen to SA if not for the better economy?

AskiaHarem:
South Africa has no "astronomical" economic advantage over Nigeria currently, and the little it has now is set to plummet in the future as the years go by.

My brother no matter how we want to look at we the sad truth is that they're ahead of us since 1989 South Africa's military spendings has being on steady decline yet they're current defence budget is about $3bn, we haven't spend such amount of money in a year at any point in our history, how do we even measure up?
Once read a report on channelstv that for us to be at par with South Africa in terms of infrastructure, we need to be spending about $10bn yearly on infrastructure for the next 20yrs, it is that embarrassing.
