over hyping wont help that Nigeria military is just a political ragtag security outfit. South African Navy is the biggest in Africa (they have submarine). Imagine the official Facebook of NA live streaming brutai son wedding....

Rossntti:


South Africa is not 'black Africa' for the purposes of this thread. Kindly stick to the subject.

Also, you must be beyond demented to refer to Africa's 3rd or 4th most powerful military as a ''rag tag security outfit...''.

SocialJustice:
South Africa is what? White Africa. Stop over compensating to make this shit hole country look cool.

South Africa has a history of development that is at least 120 years older than Nigeria's.

South African colonialists regarded the nation as 'home', and so invested export proceeds in developing the country right from the 1800s.

South Africa had her first power stations built in the 1880s. Her first universities in the 1820s.

By the 1930s or 40s she was already a developed nation.

Nigeria had its first power station, Kainji Dam, in 1964 and her first university in 1962.

South Africa is in a different league in development compared to the rest of Africa, by virtue of Africa's colonial history.

Power that can easily be compromised by a small Country in Europe

Dey feed your ego!!

Rossntti:


You can say the same for virtually all the world's navies.

US annual military spending is the highest on earth,  and is more than the next 6 countries combined.

But what's the point of referring to them?

The Nigerian Navy is not being built to fight the United States..

Nigeria is a US ally and its biggest trading partner in Africa.

The navy's main focus is on defending the nation against regional and continental threats.

Actually, the Nigerian military is more powerful than several European and South American militaries.

The Nigerian military is ranked 42nd on earth, well above Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Portugal, Croatia, Bulgaria, Finland, Slovakia, New Zealand and a few others.

The Nigerian military is also ranked above Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, Malaysia, UAE, Bangladesh, and many others.

Excuse upon excuse, they always find a new excuse. Ethiopia and Liberia are all older than SA in terms of civilization, why are they not as developed as SA?

Nigeria unlike SA lacks the spirit of management and continuity, they have allowed the little progress from the colonial masters decline totally.

Nigerians hate to admit but I will say it "SOUTH AFRICA IS THE GIANT OF AFRICA'.

ULOPVQ:


Lmao, see this one putting this disorganised and archaic armed forces beside countries like, Austria, Norway, Denmark, Finland, UAE, Belgium, Portugal, and Argentina. All these countries I called will beat Nigeria and every West African country combined "black and blue".

You are comparing a Norway with a proper Navy (they have destroyers in their fleet, they only thing they lack is a carrier) to a Nigeria that has only Corvette and patrol boats in its fleet.

Denmark has one of the most respected Special Forces in the world, whereas nobody knows that Nigeria's " 72 Batallion" exist.

UAE has some of the most advanced Fighter Jets in the world while Nigeria is struggling to complete a deal for just a few from the U.S.

Most of these countries have smaller military personnel that's the only reason that the "trash of Army" called the NA is ranked above them.

Rossntti:


Use your brain for once in your life.

South Africa in the 1800s had thousands of wealthy emigrants from a Europe that was just emerging from an INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. They went there with the skills, education, and military wherewithal to create another version of a European country there.

Ethiopia was not connected to the industrial revolution. Liberia was home to the natives who received a handful of freed
American slaves barely more educated than the natives.

So where was development meant to come from in Ethiopia and Liberia, particularly when trade with other African nations was disrupted by the colonial seizure of neighbouring territories?




What ''little progress'' from your colonial ''masters'' are you referring to?

The colonialists built next to NOTHING in Nigeria, which was why your immediate forbears were illiterate village peasants.

It was independence that made it possible for YOU to be able to read and write today. Without it, you'd be an illiterate. because the British colonialists simply looted and invested virtually nothing in public education during their 70 year rule.



No they're not.

ThEGodFaThEr101:

You're just being a Mumu. It took Chadian soldiers just 5 days to drive Bokoharam terrorists out of Chad and reclaimed lost territories while the Nigerian soldiers take to the heels whenever they see Bokoharam fighters advancing.

You be Original Mumu

ULOPVQ:


You have ended up saying nothing, the whites also settled in Zimbabwe, so why are they struggling instead of being on par with SA.

Portuguese entrepreneurs lived in Bonny and Lagos before the British step foot in Nigeria, so what is the excuse?

UAE was undeveloped at the same period as Nigeria but today they are light years ahead of Nigeria, so what happened?

If your donkey brain cannot understand the simple fact that to eliminate Boko Haram swiftly would entail mass civilian casualties, since they wear no uniforms and blend in with the public easily, then I've no idea how to help you.

If defeating terrorism is a 5 day affair, you have to wonder why it's taking the US close to 30 years to defeat the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan.
