EMMY76:Stop telling lies. Chad has NOT defeated Boko Haram, and lost 4 soldiers last week to them in an attack. I posted the news link earlier. Go and read it. The US army is still fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan for 30 years, but you still kiss their butts. And every sensible person will take the word of world military experts over a know-nothing, ignorant street dunce like you who thinks he is worth nothing. |
unatryooh:Instead of hallucinating about "inconsistencies", because international expert research has not placed you at the bottom, where you insist you belong, why not cure the terrible inferiority complex afflicting you? That's the real issue, not some imagined international conspiracy to falsely make out Nigeria to be a military power. |
bularuz:Please name them, let me look it up. |
ULOPVQ:It is definitely in the 60 to 70 percent range. That's a massive improvement, especially when you factor in the rise in population. |
ULOPVQ:Dude, go and sleep. |
ULOPVQ:Without our leaders, your Nigerian parent would have been a village illiterate peasant shunned by his or her partner. Meaning that you wouldn't exist in your current form. Nigeria only began to invest in mass public education in the 1960s, courtesy of those ''evil leaders''. Prior to independence in 1960, our literacy rate was 5% after 70 years of British rule. Today, it's at 70% after 60 years of those ''evil leaders''. |
ULOPVQ:So you lied about being a foreigner. Why? Not that it matters anyway. The facts as stated by international military expert sources remain the facts. |
ULOPVQ:It is YOU that seems confused by the stated metrics. If the metrics were inappropriate for the objective of the research, they would not be employed! They are used because they produce a more accurate reflection of military strength among the nations. The very essence of research is to present an accurate picture of reality, not to distort or obfuscate it, which is what you seem to be suggesting. |
ULOPVQ:Actually the world is 'rip' not ''reap''. So, you're not a Nigerian. Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be on your own country's forums? Why are you scared to tell us what country you're from? |
ULOPVQ:it says: 2020 Military Strength Ranking Global powers ranked by potential military strength. The finalized Global Firepower ranking below utilizes over 50 individual factors to determine a given nation's PowerIndex ('PwrIndx') score with categories ranging from military might and financials to logistical capability and geography. Our unique, in-house formula allows for smaller, more technologically-advanced, nations to compete with larger, lesser-developed ones and special modifiers, in the form of bonuses and penalties, are applied to further refine the annual list. Color arrows indicate year-over-year trend comparison (Rise, Neutral, Fall). ................. So, what's your problem? This is a very comprehensive set of criteria to rank the nations militarily. |
ULOPVQ:What country's military? Go on, tell us! That still doesn't mean you know a damned thing about army, navy etc operations, to the point where you'll be challenging expert data on military rankings. |
ULOPVQ:You tell us the metrics. Is it just personnel size like you claimed? |
ULOPVQ:You are a neophyte with zero military knowledge or experience. You are NOT in a position to challenge the findings and research of experts. Your ignorant nonsense stops here in Nairaland. |
ThEGodFaThEr101:Mosquito brain, if the US are so great, why are they unable to dislodge the terrorIsts THEY have to deal with EVERYDAY in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq etc? It is one thing flying in on a commando rescue mission and flying back out to applause. Quite another when you have to deal with the insurgency daily. As for your reference to Chad, Boko Haram have NOT been ''driven out of Chad'', as you falsely claimed. Just last week, an attack there killed several Chadian troops: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/suspected-boko-haram-attack-kills-four-chadian-soldiers/ar-BB1blQbt |
ULOPVQ:The majority blacks were landless peasants and slaves on their land. Mugabe decided to turn that around, and economic sanctions were placed on the country by the west. Portuguese entrepreneurs lived in Bonny and Lagos before the British step foot in Nigeria, so what is the excuse?The mere presence of 'Portuguese entrepreneurs' is not enough for anything to happen. Do you know what they were there for? UAE was undeveloped at the same period as Nigeria but today they are light years ahead of Nigeria, so what happened?UAE has 3 times Nigeria's oil and gas deposits, and exports 3 times Nigeria's output per day, all for a population of 8 million people. She has more than enough money to create any type of society she likes, with zero stress and extra change left over. So expecting a 200 million-strong developing nation like Nigeria to ''be like UAE'' is testament to your poor analytical ability and general lack of common sense. |
ThEGodFaThEr101: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. |
ULOPVQ:So... You actually expect us to believe that the world's No 1 reference site on military rankings, is basing their rankings on mere personnel size? Are you insane? Bangladesh military has 135,00 men, while Nigeria's has 100,000. So how come Bangladesh is far below Nigeria in rankings? Pls don't bother responding. Multi-milliIon dollar research from reputable international experts places Nigeria as 42nd on earth in terms of military. WHAT A NOBODY LIKE YOU THINKS IS IRRELEVANT. |
ULOPVQ: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? Nigeria unlike SA lacks the spirit of management and continuity, they have allowed the little progress from the colonial masters decline totally.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. Nigerians hate to admit but I will say it "SOUTH AFRICA IS THE GIANT OF AFRICA'.No they're not. |
Raydos: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. See full world rankings below: https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.asp |
SocialJustice: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. |
mike8804: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...''. |
tempest01: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. www.nairaland.com/attachments/1288923_NN_NNS_THUNDER_FLIGHT_HELICOPTER_JPGda120f2ec368606c2fdff249b69d874d |

Aconomist:Say the truth. You're not a Nigerian. No Nigerian would type the highlighted. Where are you really from, Mr 'Aconomist', and why are you here? |
pharmagba:I agree. They were good. In fact I'd say Amunike was a deadlier No 11 than Adokiye, in terms of goal threat. He could dribble too. But Adokiye had greater finesse and composure on the ball, and could dribble and cross better. Start at 2.27 to watch Adokiye in a little action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tggt9Ply9lc Highlights of the 1980 AFCON Final, Nigeria v Algeria in Lagos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyAiDXgCtSg |

what is the use of the ranking? Ordinary neighboring chad defeated bokoharam within few weeks while it's taking nigerian army forever am very all those countries ranked below nigeria on paper will surely easily defeat the whole nigeria's military in a real war.
