"Free services" are often given out by governments who can afford to... Don't expect such from governments who can't afford, i.e. the Nigerian government.
the nigerian government can afford it!,new government houses worth billions of naira are been built every so often by state goverments,lagos state alone generates hundreds of billion of naira every year,and nigeria has 36 states{37 if you consider the FCT}!.the nigerian citizens arent asking for free handouts,therefore the government isnt dashing out either!

67% of the Nigerian population living in poverty, handouts are what they need... and no the Nigerian government cannot afford it, your federal government survives on a budget roughly equivalent to South Africa's Education Department national budget.

Talk of welfare is not news in nigeria. They just don't have the Benjamins and the Mandelas.

Anyway, look at this from the source:

They are pleading poverty. No money for welfare.

Seleka had Toyota pickups armed with 25mm dual guns, that's faster and deadly. The sight of the Igirigi would have killed the SANDF with laughter.

they would be suspicious because the government hasnt given the free gifts before,from 1960-Now they havent distributed free handouts ever before,why start now?,they would wonder about the motive behind such seemingly benevolent actions,they would consider it a waste of public funds by a cacus of greedy wide-throated politicians to provide a measly meal that would eventually be flushed down the toilet,instead of constructing new roads,railways,airports,university,hospital etc.it just isnt in the nature of a nigeria to accept free gift without smelling for a fish.


That is simple, because the government since 1960 till now did not have financial muscle to provide free services.

No, there were not, they were armed with mainly AK47 riffles, farmers can't operate "technicals" and yes your men would have laughed considering they are only use to beautiful things, but their laughter would have changed to surprise, then dismay....then fear...then horror.

Foolish SANDF, you imported British missiles that need tropicalization to work well grin

Remove the thermostats on them before they overheat and blow up your own army grin

The foolish missile still has maximum ceiling of only 1km, worst in Africa grin

Nigeria has Roland missiles with 5.5km max ceiling, we are 5 times better in air defence that South Africa grin

Togo Republic will R.ape SANDF with Alpha jets flying at 5km ceiling grin

.

You argument will fail before the court of law. I don't think you can even understand your statement by tropicalization. Thermostats are mechanical and electronical devices used for safety by controlling heating and cooling of appliances. I don't know why would DENEL technicians and engineers ever do such a low technical job of just removing thermostats.

DENEL modified their starstreek missiles by enhancing their thrusting power and hence their operational range. Those technicians have been working with missiles for many years and I do not understand what is it that you find difficult to believe that they have modified their VSHORAD to operate under the conditions of SA.

SA has skyshield and apart from that they have fighter jets to counter any enemy jets on a dog fight. Thus, Togo and even Nigeria won't even dare to try to launch any air strikes against SA.

Don't push your government over the edge. It just don't have deeper pockets to carry out such tremendous responsibility.
