Very Good News (VGN)

Unfortunately, Nigerians aren't interested in any military might but food to feed the family. Hunger in the land.

Up NA! Making us proud but do the need

This is really a good news.
But has the Nigerian military won any war before with out the support of foreign powers and aside being involved in peace keeping operations

Nigeria remains a weak colonial contraption, With up to 30 millions of Easterners willingly to serve as a fifth columnist to any external forces planning to invade her, in exchange for an independent Eastern region nation.

And yet our military can't control the Fulani herdsmen criminals!

Lol...can't stop laughing.

I thought that war was a war fought with Soviet Union military support and advisor, British military support, Egyptian pilots, Chadian rebels, support from the Cameroon government, support from east German pilots, what I want to know is if Nigeria has gone to war with out any external support and won.
The last time they could have gone to war over bakassi they turned down the opportunity citing an ICJ ruling which most countries don't obey.

Are Nigerians fooling themselves believing in a military that can only shoot unarmed protesters and starve the unarmed to death.

AngelAhnie:
Good morning bobo!

Until Nigeria military can invade Niger and Chad cos we need tomatoes oooooh
