AntiWailer:
Apart from Egypt and SA.

If colonial masters no intervene.

Nigeria will destroy plenty countries.

In terms of ranking we are 4th in Africa.

It is a great nation forget the dullard and bustards in charge

I'm proud of my South South boys . Stay strong and rugged guys . We love you.

So you have to vilify and demonize Rivers State to sell Akwa Ibom. Rivers is not competing with Akwa Ibom for anything. It is highly unnecessary.

mansakhalifa:
Hmmm...

She said a 'Short Black Gun'...

What make of firearm could that be
Surely not a revolver...

Could it have been a Tokarev?

Rossntti:


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''.

Rossntti:


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.

Rossntti:


So you lied about being a foreigner. Why?

Rossntti:


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?

Rossntti:


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.

Rossntti:


What country's military? Go on, tell us!

Rossntti:


You tell us the metrics. Is it just personnel size like you claimed?

Rossntti:


You are a NOBODY, 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.

Rossntti:


Drunkard.

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.

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.

Rossntti:


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.

Rossntti:


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.

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.

Coronabirus:
Sanctions for what?
Iran sanction is because of their allege atomic weapons development, no country will be sanction because of a journalist. Egypt committed atrocities and massacre at Tahrir square with hundreds killed in a peaceful, unarmed protest and Western powers hailed him and romance him very well. Journalist faces serious threat and gagging in Egypt, many are killed or detain in prison but nothing is happening.
Is impossible and no reasonable person will allow enemies to destroy his country for the fear of Western manipulation.

Coronabirus:
The way people from that side think with full mental inferiority is second to none on this earth.
See how they see CNN as small god, if I were PMB I'll detain that reporter untill she prove the unsubstantiated allegations that put this country in mayhem and see what the whole world can do. In Egypt they detained Al-Jazeera reporter for more than 5yrs, in Iran they sentence someone to death and world can't do anything but noise.

Claudiusdeux:
1.Printing money involves us using scarce foreign reserves to do the job (because most of our currency is printed abroad).

2.Out of the same scarce reserves, we also pay our debts and pay for the running of the country.

3.Also, printing more money=inflation, and eventually a fall in the value of the Naira.

4.Naira can only become more strong if we are more productive.

5.Our creditors want their cash in dollars, not in Naira.

(NOT AN EXPERT....someone can do better than me!)

PRE4:
Can Nigeria ever get better?
An old woman asked a man.
The man laughed and said
"The problem of Nigeria is not the government neither is it the fault of politicians.If the government shares one million naira every day, the problem of Nigeria still won't be solved"
"But why"The curious old woman asked.
"Nigeria real problem is the Nigerian themselves.They are the most wicked set of humans to live on earth.
The problem of corruption is not from the government but from the grass root level"The man replied.
"Not every one though"The old woman defended.
"How many Nigerians can receive visitors warmly into their home?
How many Nigerians care for the needy in their society?
How many Nigerians go down on their knees daily and pray for Nigeria like those developed countries do?
How many Nigerians bless their country with their mouth instead they continue laying curses on her
How many Nigerians can pray for their leaders to have a change of heart?
Nobody can.
Nepotism, favoritism, corruption, wickedness, bribery,armed robbery,raping, domestic violence, terrorism and kidnappings is all we practice and yet points hands at the government"The man replied.


Now the question is;do you really agree with this man?
