You are a pupet and sell out. You coplianed about SAS drakensberg but begged the french to invade a african country. Nigeria has never stood up to the west.

agaugust:

quote the source weblink to prove clearly that nigeria begged france to invade an african country, post it or you become a public fool if you dont

Henry120: We all have derailed this thread to much. Perhaps we could talk about other african militaries for a change. Nigeria and south africa are not the only countries on the continent. Besides the thread is about who has the strongest military(s) on the continent.


Or we can still continue/ go ahead with the country bashing.

agaugust:

almost all nairaland guys just wanted to add some variety to the forum topic i guess. lol

CAMEROONPRIDE: I will break that later
But It's funny how the Euro zone is in deep crisis but the francfa has not been lowered.
Abeg when you don't know something don't make such statements

agaugust: no more quarrel between nigeria and cameroon, our soldiers/special marine forces trained together on the same warship just this month ! peace everyone i beg you all. thanks

pleep: "[s]The CFA franc will be devalued on 1 January 2012 according to several reliable sources in West Africa.[/s] This happened before, with disastrous consequences. On January 12 1994, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Comoros, Congo-Brazzaville, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal were informed that their common currency had been devalued by 50%. 50 CFA francs had bought 1 French franc; now it cost 100 CFA francs. There were violent reactions in many of the countries, especially Senegal, at the loss of 50% of their purchasing power. In 2012 it will be even worse as high world prices for food, paid for in US dollars, will place imported food out of the reach of most Africans working in menial jobs, on the farms, as civil servants or unemployed.

The responsibility for this approaching disaster is the failure of the French economy to deal with its long-term structural debt and the use of French reserves to prop up the failing Euro and participate in the several bailouts within the Eurozone. French wars in the Ivory Coast and especially Libya have cut a major hole in the French pocket. Their tame African partners, the presidents of francophone African states, are complicit in this plan for devaluation and continue to follow the lead of their protectors, the French Army, in whatever they suggest. This relationship is long-standing and a paradigm of neo-colonial enterprise."

pleep: i love cameroon, im just trying to change the subject.. south africa was getting boring

agaugust: has anyone realized that ethiopian military is as good as those of nigeria and south africa ?

agaugust: has anyone realized that ethiopian military is as good as those of nigeria and south africa ? its so hard to get ethiopian military photos, even harder than that of nigeria. ethiopia hardly ever photographs her military, they are in africa's top 3 best army and air force rankings, rivals nigeria and south africa. i am not sure any of these two countriea can beat ethiopia in real war.

CAMEROONPRIDE: Kenyan and Ugandan are better IMO

..........Nigerain Army Goes Wild With New Killer Missile And Cannon Type 97 Fighting Vehicle.......

This armoured infantry fighting vehicle carries 3UBK10 ATGM consists of a laser beam riding missile and a container case. The missile is used as a part of the
Bastion missile system (NATO reporting name: AT-10 Stabber). As well as engaging armoured vehicles and fortifications, the missile could also engage low-flying enemy aircraft. The missile has a range of 4,000m. Hit probability is 80% and the armour penetration capability is 600mm. The system carries eight missiles inside the turret.

Weapons include a 100mm cannon, and remote controlled 30mm coaxial automatic cannon, with 500 rounds. The cannon can fire both armour-piercing (AP) and HE-FRAG rounds. Rate of fire is 300 rounds/min and range is 1,500 to 2,000m. It also has a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun located on its side.

This modern year 2006 model IFV is nigerian army's new k.iller of enemy armoured tanks and low flying enemy aircraft.

The 133 units purchased gives nigeria the capacity to fire over 1,000 anti-tank missiles against enemy armoured vehicles or over 1,000 anti-aircraft missiles against enemy aircraft that tries to attack the army from the air. this all terrain vehicle also swims in deep water.

The current free spending jamboree by niegria is bringing large numbers of brand new and latest technology weapons into all our armed forces at a very rapid rate, and it seems to have no end yet, many more heavy weapons are still coming for delivery, already paid for in advance from china, israel, france, holland, sweden and USA.

You got a strange list

First of is this list in order because if yes it really really mesed up.

Next etyopya has larger and better trained milltary than a few on the list.

And BDF? Yes BDF are well triand but they are a small milltary with only a few. Heavy wepaons and would be unable to stop a Zimbawen invasion with out a SA/SADC intervension. They geard towards slowing any invasion down long enough for help to arrive

Talking about that I would put SADC on that list and ECOMOG

SADC is the most unified of all the african blocks with close to zero chance of each other going to war and other than DRC and ZIM highlly stabel. SADC stand by brigade all ready had a joint exersize in SA and of the coast of nambia. Has a unit force we have no weakness

Henry120: Do you guys realise ZIM also have a good military? Zimbabwe

CAMEROONPRIDE: any pictures?

Henry120: Do you guys realise ZIM also have a good military? Zimbabwe

pleep: the funniest thing is.. most of these countries dont even have the logistical capacity to attack each other
