yes Nigeria has a decent army, but they are a long way away from were they should be, the are so brutal. i watched videos of some of their Campinas in sierre-leon, and they were executing people based of mere suspicion of being a rebel. they beat and shot women, and took no prisoners. they shot bound men in the streets, and looted. they had justice in the palm of their hands, and were so unprofessional in their actions |

cap28 said: I am aware that this is a tribute to the nigerian military but i think im entitled to voice my disagreement just as you are entitled to voice yours, as i said earlier i do not think the nigerian military have done anything for the nigerian people worth celebrating. You are wrong. What exactly do you expect the Nigerian army to do for the people that would be ''worth celebrating''? As far as I know we've not been attacked by any nation, so what is our military supposed to do? Invent an ''enemy'' and start a shooting war just to please you? Has nigeria ever fought and defeated an external enemy? Do you suggest we send emails round to various nations seeking a combat opponent? Or are you suggesting we attack neighbouring territories in order to fulfill your condition of having ''fought and defeated an external enemy''? the nigerian military can't even guarantee the safety of its own citizens INSIDE the country (Jos) so why the celebration? The US army could not guarantee the safety of its citizens on 9/11. The US army cannot guarantee the safety of citizens in its major cities, each of whose murder rate is in the thousands per year! Lesson: Shhit happens. No country's military on earth can ''guarantee'' anything! the tanks, guns, planes etc are simply being used for THEIR OWN PROTECTION not for the protection of the nigerian people and it's territory. And why exactly does the govt need hundreds of jet fighters, warships and tanks for protection against an unarmed civilian population ![]() That's the strangest thing you've written. This military hardware is being stockpiled to be used against nigerian citizens should there be any attempt to resist IBB's bid for the presidency come 2011. I see. So NOW that IBB has been rejected by his northern constituency in favour of Atiku, are we to expect the Nigerian military to launch attacks against Nigerians soon in defence of IBB's ambition? ![]() Paca7 said: It is very funny also cos if Nigeria was wasting money on such expensive armament, you will be the same one's complaining that people are hungry and don't have light, blah, blah.blaaahh. Absolutely. Seems we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. |

Re: Tribute To Nigerian Military In Pictures by cap28: 2:08am On Nov 28, 2010 |
ROSSIKE: No but what the nigerian govt could do is trim the bloated army and spend those billions of dollars that it wastes on "defence" on adequate housing, constant electricity, running water, health care and the construction of a comprehensive transportation system in the country, that would definitely be worth celebrating. I dont know if you are aware of this but nations that spend vast sums of money on military defence tend to be either imperialist nations ie with expansionist objectives like the US or repressive ones - ie with the objective of crushing dissent or opposition within their own countries like nigeria. Other developed nations like britain, germany, france can AFFORD to allocate huge sums on military defence because they do not have the same type of socio economic problems that nigeria has such as mass poverty, unemployment, inadequate housing, inadequate health care etc Does it make sense to you that despite not being at war with any nation we allocate huge sums of money towards the purchase of military hardware - can you justify for me why this is important? Do you suggest we send emails round to various nations seeking a combat opponent? Funny!!!! but the jokes on you who does not seem to think that there is something wrong with spending huge sums of money on defence while 70% of the population live on $1 a day. Or are you suggesting we attack neighbouring territories in order to fulfill your condition of having ''fought and defeated an external enemy''? My point was this : nigeria has never fought or defeated an external enemy, neither has it been under threat of invasion therefore it makes no sense allocate huge sums of money on defence when that revenue could be put to better use. Aside from brutalising, maiming and killing innocent civilians within their own country and committing genocide against the igbos during the nigeria/biafra civil war i do not recall any time that the nigerian military's "greatness" or courage has ever actually been tested. Before you mention ECOMOG please remember that nigeria were performing a peace keeping role only and were not engaged in protracted combat also nigeria was instructed to send troops to liberia and sierra leone by the US who did not want to comitt their own troops to these areas, i would therefore describe the ECOMOG project as nigeria doing america's dirty work. The US army could not guarantee the safety of its citizens on 9/11. The US army cannot guarantee the safety of citizens in its major cities, each of whose murder rate is in the thousands per year! have you ever heard of americans being massacred by rampaging lynch mobs on american soil with the american military standing helplessly by and doing nothing? It beggars beleif that you would compare a plane being flown into the world trade centre by alleged terrorists with a rampaging lynch mob. Lesson: Shhit happens. No country's military on earth can ''guarantee'' anything! Try telling that to the indigenes of Odi, Gbamaratu and Zaki Biam where soldiers rampaged through their villages ra.ping, shooting, maiming and brutalising innocent unarmed civilians before burning entire villages to the ground, have you ever heard of western soldiers perpertrating such atrocities on their own people? And why exactly does the govt need hundreds of jet fighters, warships and tanks for protection against an unarmed civilian population I see you are yet to awaken from your deep slumber, okay this is how it works - when you run a dictatorship like nigeria you keep people in line by way of violence, terror and repression, that is what all those unmanned drones, militarised police , JTF , automatic weapons, tanks, are for - to kill, maim and brutalise any potential threat, to crush any form of opposition from the nigerian populace - do you get it now? I see. So NOW that IBB has been rejected by his northern constituency in favour of Atiku, are we to expect the Nigerian military to launch attacks against Nigerians soon in defence of IBB's ambition? IBB is not out of the race yet and i am pretty sure that if he wins the presidential ticket come 2011 there will be mass protest, do you think he will go quietly the way he did on June 12?? or do you think he will stamp his authority down using various arms of the nigerian police state? take a guess? |

Re: Tribute To Nigerian Military In Pictures by lordangers(m): 12:53am On Dec 22, 2010 |
xterra2:errr what does the first line mean? I was also reffering to Nigeria participating as a peace mission for ECOMOG. Possibly the first test of the African standby force. And only if the coast went back to civil war which it has shown strong signs of severe violence. And what does your last line mean? |
Re: Tribute To Nigerian Military In Pictures by xterra2(m): 10:17pm On Dec 22, 2010 |
^^ My first line meant that no one would send peacekeepers there , he ordered them out, by reality no one would send any peacekeepers in |

This bloated army consists at present of 5 divisions and a guards brigade totalling less than 100K (population of about 150 million). Compare that to Egypt's 33 divisions (population of about 90 million). The 9ja army is at present smaller than those of Angola and Algeria (giant of Africa indeed ![]()
Last time I checked, 56 countries (cutting across the global political and economic spectrum) had greater military expenditure than Nigeria - 6 of them in Africa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures Moreover countries like Eritrea, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Togo, Congo, Rwanda and Equatorial Guinea among many others have been known to have outspent 9ja militarily per GDP. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/mil_exp_dol_fig_pergdp-expenditures-dollar-figure-per-gdp
Sure. Justified by wisdom, common sense and learning from history. A wise man in times of peace prepares for war - (Quintus Horatius Flaccus).
Or where senator takes home an average of N15 million a month (or $3,333 a day).
Like paying jumbo salaries to politicians? The same politicians whose actions and inactions could lead to unrest and ultimately war?e.g. Laurent Gbagbo.
And now those brutalising, maiming and killing marauders are being led by an IGBO man.
Can't remember 9ja being ECOMOG but rather in ECOMOG. It was a peace enforcement mission not peacekeeping as erroneously stated. Nigeria being instructed by the US? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
It is only in 9ja that rampaging lynch mobs would murder members of the military and police as was done in Odi and Zaki Biam and expect to get away with it. Next we would start hearing about the great injustice done to the kidnapping lord Osikankwu by the military.
Opposition like militants, kidnappers and Boko Haram sect? Nigeria a dictatorship? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I see some similar equipment to the Kenya Army. You have Vickers 3 which is actually quite good equipment. Its upgraded version, the mk.7 was very nearly chosen as the Brit army MBT in the early 90s. But WTF is up with those 50 year old F7s. Come on Naija isn't Gambia or Sierra Leone! Good to see you're building some of your own stuff-even though its only baby steps;its a start which is what kids and haters will never realise. |
