MikeZA: Your army lacks armoured vehicles most of them aren't operational because of your poor decisions when it comes to acquisitions and maintenance. You mean this? We don't have these. 1 Like

agaugust: We have seen men at play....SANDF, now let us see real men at war....Naija army ! Are you sure those are not rebels or Boko Haram? It is a lie that soldiers are not supposed to look fine and neat. Having been a soldier myself, I was taught that discipline is maintained through neatness in the way you wear your uniform as a soldier. Your boots must shine and your uniform must be well ironed so as to look different to rebels. |

dragon2: South Africa’s failure to successfully engage some of Africa’s most troublesome conflict zones has undermined the country’s credibility and cast doubt about whether South Africa should be perceived as the continent’s regional military and political leader. Ineffectual leadership is at the heart of the matter. President Zuma has made some dubious decisions regarding South Africa’s regional foreign policy, and his inability to meaningfully address the plethora of domestic problems facing the country raises question about its suitability as Africa’s de facto leader. this is one fact these dull south Africans (especially @patches) have refused to swallow. if you like buy nuclear weapons, you remain the last option when it comes to continental authourity and military power. you are yet to pay the price, so cannot be trusted to lead militarily. accept your new boss and pay homage ![]() 1 Like |

Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. KTJ Minimah has confirmed the long held secret that desertion, acts of cowardice and indiscipline within the army in the ongoing fight against terrorism was one of the greatest setbacks in checkmating Boko Haram insurgency in the country. In a communiqué issued at the end of the third quarterly conference of the COAS, via the Defence Headquarters twitter handle @DefenceInfoNG, being a highlight of the COAS admonition, Minimah said “the rising acts of indiscipline and unprofessional conduct by troops was unbecoming and charged Commanders at all levels to put a stop to it as the Nigerian Army was a professional organization.” He recalled the attempted mutiny by troops in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, against the then GOC 7 Division, Maj.Gen Ahmadu Mohammed saying, “A few issues needs to be urgently addressed that have caught my attention in recent weeks. Principal among these is the rising acts of indiscipline and unprofessional conduct by troops. In this regard, the recent mutinous act in Maiduguri and reported destruction of public property in Lagos readily comes to mind. As a professional army, the conduct of our troops must be above board at all times” Blaming it on the fact that most people, who joined the military in recent times, do so out of the need for employment and not passion for military service, Minimah said, “Desertion is part of warfare. We must accept that since the era of the Cartagena wars, soldiers had deserted from battle field. In our own case, we are doing recruitment now and we are also receiving presentations from across the country, from people who want their wards to be enlisted in the army”. “But we need to have a thorough recruitment because mind you, there is high level of unemployment on ground; most people want jobs and if that job means joining the army fine. It is a source of employment. However, when the reality of the military service comes, he drops his riffles. So desertion will continue to be there. We had desertion in ECOMOG; in the Nigerian Civil war and now it will continue to be there”. “Also, acts of indiscipline will continue to be there but when they are caught, they are investigated and when they are found questionable they will face the Court-Martial”. “Like I said, in a few months time, the war will be over. But I cannot give you a clear calendar date because this is war on terrorism. It cannot be determined in terms of concrete date”. On allegations that the army was underperforming in the war on terror, he said, “The Nigerian Army is performing. I know the expectations of the Nigerian citizens but the expectation is rather too much in haste. We need some time; we need patience and you must know we are fighting terrorism. We are not fighting a conventional war. Nigerian Army is a conventional and regular army”. “The terrorist is someone you don’t know. It may be someone who sold food or fruit to you in the morning and by the afternoon he is the terrorist. We are having all that inter-play in the battle front in the North-East. We have to be conscious to separate the terrorist from the law abiding citizens and we also have human rights to protect”. “We are fighting Nigerian citizens we are not fighting foreigners; so caution must be exercised. I appeal and assure that we will certainly surmount it but we also need support from the nation, from all segments of society and from the people including the media. And we need patience and time for us to do it. We also have the equipment and the FG is introducing fresh and newer equipment to us which in a short while hopefully be there for use”. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/boko-haram-soldiers-chicken-battle-gen-minimah/ 1 Like |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Thiza: 1:30pm On Jul 24, 2014 |
The Nigerian military is at the forefront of the war on terror but it is doubtful if it can win this war. In Nigeria, both our government and the military forces have proved incapable of defeating a small army of insurgents whose activities are limited to the North-East zone. This is in spite of billions of naira in defence spending since 2010. In recent years, Boko Haram has become more daring in its attacks. Apart from conducting suicide bombings, it has continued to carry out coordinated raids on villages and military formations. In these attacks, hundreds of people including soldiers are being killed. The army has often told Nigerians it is winning the war. But Nigerians have dismissed the claims as propaganda because the attacks have become more frequent and deadlier. Why has the war on terror become so intractable? Why have the military forces become so impotent? Having failed so far, it has become critical to question the ability of our military to win this war. Really, it is becoming apparent that the war on terror may never be won by the military. Recently, President Goodluck Jonathan sought a whopping addition of $1bn foreign loan to tackle Boko Haram. Nigerians are understandably righteously outraged that the war on terror has become a conduit given that between 2012 and 2013 over N3trn, which is about 25 per cent of the national budget, was expended on defence alone. Where did all the money go? By requesting more money without demanding accountability and addressing alleged corruption in the military, the Jonathan administration is indirectly undermining its own effort to combat our security challenges. If money alone had been the issue, the war on terror would have been won a long time ago. http://www.punchng.com/opinion/why-the-military-cannot-defeat-boko-haram/ |

South African Rooikat army IFV you post here is a 1990s product that has NEVER been tested in ANY battle in real war, so....Igirigi for show !
