LT SHANGY: please, my fellow NIGERIANS, You don't have to blame the south africans for their mistakes and erred comments. They (south africans) have failed to realise the huge gap between the apartheid SADF and post-apartheid SANDF. The SADF was a hugely strong military, well equipped and well funded. This present SANDF is nothing to write home about, budget constrains has forced them to ground their grippens and rooivaks. They re not well funded and equipped. This is my ranking Looking at your write-up, one would expect that you'd rank South Africa further down. But you don't even have the confidence to do that. ![]() Budget cuts but still better funded than Naai-geria. Budgets cuts but capable of getting more funding any time war breaks out. Still more formidable than Naai-geria. Still ranked higher than Naai-geria, unless you're on Naai-raland. You'll wake up tomorrow and your rankings will have evaporated into the darkness. It's all wishful thinking ![]() |

TRIBALISM: IGBOS will never rule Nigeria again. http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/05/19/abubakar-mamman-ngulde-the-igbos-will-never-rule-nigeria-again/ |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 9:11pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
Msauza: TRIBALISM: That's why Igbos like Naaijapigoon run to South Africa. They have effectively been excluded from Naai-geria's political setup. |

NaijaPikinGidi: How is looking at your inability to be a unified force a digression? It's not. http://www.ournaira.com/all-noise-about-the-deportation-of-igbos-is-political-fashola/ The Igbos are "deported" back to their villages, inside Naai-geria. Are you Igbo, Naai-japigoon? ![]() But you're safe in South Africa. |

How can a devided country like Nigeria ever fight a war with another country, we know a war would give igbos an opportunity to declare biafra. |

2smooth2shout:The late Lt Gen Deon Ferreira (a colonel at the time and SADF force commander in South East Angola) was quoted in the Paratus (SADF publication) of March 1989 after the Lomba Battle as follows: "If defeat for South Africa meant the loss of 31 men, three tanks, five armoured vehicles and three aircraft, then we'd lost. If victory for Fapla and the Cubans meant the loss of 4,600 men, 94 tanks, 100 armoured vehicles, 9 aircraft and other Soviet equiptment valued at more than a billion Rands, then they'd won." |

zetdee: One Nigeria is clearly a fuss, where have you ever head of people been deported in their own country. How can such a nation fight anyone? Where shall we rank them, Zetdee? 12? 15? Remember that Mali failed because of their divisions. Naai-geria is out for the count for the time being. Until god knows when. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by 2smooth2shout: 9:40pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
Mike..ZA: same old excuse.. like the same excuses you'll always have about your failure in CAR. any excuse of your failure is lesotho? |

SERG, in a statement issued by its Coordinator General, Chief Willy Ezugwu, said the recent action of the Lagos State government “has set a bad precedent that must be immediately reversed to forestall the breakup of Nigeria along ethno-regional lines.” http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/national-news/128983-deportation-igbo-demand-recall-compensation- ______ So, step aside BH issues. Enter Igbo issues. SMH Question remains, how can such a country fight against anyone? |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 9:54pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
CraigB: I don't think we should even consider them up for ranking, their worse enemy is themselves, any country at war with them can play on that division untill they turn on themselves. If small Boko- Haram which has foreign leaders can cause so much damage imagine what a country could do, i remember Cameroonpride making this point. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 9:58pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
zetdee: A point buttressed by the fact that their own military people have been accused of helping Boko Haram ![]() How can a military like that ever hope to sustain anything? Their population numbers actually work against them not for them. It's just an unmanageable situation for Naai-geria. And they are all sitting here wasting our time. On second thought, they should be rated at ...30. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by andrewza: 10:03pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
2smooth2shout: 1 battlion and since you pulled out it is more than you have. We all so operate in red zones and have a history of makeing them green zones. That is done by winning hearts and minds. You know not commiting war crimes. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by 2smooth2shout: 10:04pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
Mike..ZA: so your definition of a victory is inflicting only casualties without successfully subduing your enemy? you broke your enemy's arm but he went home with the trophy and you call yourself victorious? you should perhaps just say Japan won the battle against America cos they inflicted a lot of casualties on US but still surrendered. so this is the strategy they teach in your military institutions? you are daft. your zulu ancestors just ran around with spears without strategies on how to make the enemy retreat or surrender and that's the same tactics being used by your military from the bush war, lesotho to CAR. SANDF have never won any battle against any opponent. be it rebel, poachers or country 1 Like |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 10:04pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
I don't see Nigeria doing anything of significance outside Naai-geria for a while. ![]() Not while Naai-geria burns. They have effectively been handicapped. |

Even CAR is a succses, primary mission was the protecstion of the training team. Non of them were hurt. The base was sucsfully defended and the rebels pulled back from it. Hell they did not even ocupy it after we left. Lestho, we stoped a coup and in angola we never lost a battel not one. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by 2smooth2shout: 10:21pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
andrewza: no. it went terribly wrong when SANDF went in alone and normalized after Zimbabwe and Botswana came to your rescue. i know the history very well |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by andrewza: 10:22pm On Aug 04, 2013 |
2smooth2shout: Let say there is a judo match. One win by pushing the other out of the ring but but the victor had his leg broken doing it. In CAR our mission was not to defend bangui it was not in our mandat, nore was even fighting seleka. If seleka had not fired on us there would have been zero battel. They fired first and started a bttel. They then relzied that we were not running away like fomac and they asked for a ceast fire. Maybe if you under stood the term objective we could talk to each other. |

2smooth2shout:. You're highly mistaken. " The "bull horn" formation Most historians credit Shaka with initial development of the famous "bull horn" formation.[17] It was composed of three elements: 1. The main force, the "chest," closed with the enemy Impi and pinned it in position. The warriors who comprised the "chest" were senior veterans.[18] 2. The "horns," while the enemy Impi was pinned by the "chest," would flank the Impi from both sides and encircle it; in conjunction with the "chest" they would then destroy the trapped force. The warriors who comprised the "horns" were young and fast juniors.[18] 3. The "loins," a large reserve, was placed, seated, behind the "chest" with their backs to the battle. The "loins" would be committed wherever the enemy Impi threaten to break out of the encirclement.[18] Coordination was supplied by regimental " izinduna" (chiefs or leaders) who used hand signals and messengers. The scheme was elegant in its simplicity, and well understood by the warriors assigned to each echelon." Now counter this by showing me,any hausa,yuroba or Igbo invented battle tactic. |
