If the Nigerian army still losses towns to ill trained young men, mostly in pick up trucks. What would happen if mechanised infantry knocked on Nigeria's boarders? Abuja would fall within weeks. 2 Likes

Henry120:Ideology blurries objectives or the cause of fighting at times. Regarding Egypt, the peace pack with Israel hinders their efforts against terror. As they have to tell the Israelis when they wanna deploy large forces in the Sinai. And I don't think Israel would allow them to deploy heavy combat forces in its backyard. |

MikeCZAR:Considering Africa’s endemic conflict profile and Nigeria’s role, it could be asserted that a study of its conflicts would imply a partial study of Nigeria’s catalytic role in African conflict management. The country’s experience in military operations pre-dates its independence. Nigerians participated under the British colonial flag in World Wars on the North African and Asian fronts, and in quelling uprisings in Ashanti, Ghana and in Southern Cameroon.[xlix] Since independence, Nigeria participated in over 42 global peace operations, notably committing over 250,000 soldiers in UN operations and with current global record of highest involvement of female peacekeepers.[l] Nigeria consistently ranks fourth out of 118 UN troops contributing countries in missions.[li]Besides financial and material resource investments, it has experienced over 2000 human losses in peace operations. 1 Like |

World war 2 began began in 1939 to 45. This is the most tactless troll of them all. A new hallmark for posting without a residue of facts. 2 Likes |

Patchesagain: Stop all this rubbish of saying someone is lying and give this forum a little decency, try face an intelligent debate. Nigerian army artillery guns are well over 700 units, check SIPRI, Wikipedia, Beegeagle and Defenceweb, count all the different artillery types and numbers then add them all up, D-30, OTO Melara and M-56 Yugo alone are 600 artillery guns in Nigeria without counting Bofors and Palmaria, then the M46, D-20 and D-74 artillery too. Now to the real life battlefield..... What gives you impression that armies at war are always over 20km apart and away from each other? How do tanks and infantry fight at that range? Even your SAAF chief complains that at too long a range like Mokopa 10km, an army will lose accuracy of fire. Wars are not fought and won 20km distance away, armies have to close-in and engage. 50,000 SANDF will face 150,000 Nigerian army that will completely encircle you like a round ring of fire and crush SANDF into the centre. Anyway, Nigerian Bofors FH-77B artillery has range 41km, superior to SANDF G-6 artillery range of 39km Bofors 73 Palmaria 50 M-56 Yugo 200 D-30 and M-series 200 Oto Melara about 150 M-46, D-20, etc over 20 Over 660 units. Current SANDF artillery corps have ZERO war experience in the last 20 years, Nigerian artillery has constant and regular war experience since 20 years ago up till today as we speak . 2 Likes
