EVarn:hahaha naa im not saying that, im saying exactly what you posted:"they arent invincible either" Although I think Russia alone can defeat the US at this stage, and lets be honest the next World War isn't going to be a conventional one, the countries that survive the next WW are the ones that either have the most or absolutely 0 Nuclear warheads, thus I think we Africans will be ok if WW3 happens. |

jln115:indeed!,but do you think russia can defeat the US{without nuclear armaments} at this point?... i dont agree that africans wouldnt be affected by WW3;the third world war is going to be a religious war,jihad grows stronger by the day,and a time will come when the 'doctrine of destruction' would sway many and plunge the world into a catalystic devastation.africans will be affected,one way or another,lets just hope that we choose the winning side, |

Nayah:Nigeria is my beloved country,and despite its few flaws,i will always be proudly nigerian,just like you are proudly cameroonian.that doesnt diminish your beauty in any way. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:43am On Jan 13, 2015 |

[size=16pt] South Africans' false information busted ! Only 150 people including Bokos died in Baga .[/size] The Defence authorities have faulted the claim that over 2,000 people were killed in the Boko Haram attack on Baga, the headquarters of the Multi-National Joint Task Force on January 3. The Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, said this during a press briefing in Abuja on Monday. He said that 150 people including a large number of members of the Boko Haram sect were killed in the confrontation. Olukolade explained that many of the residents of Baga and the nearby communities had fled the area because of incessant attacks on their towns by the Boko Haram sect. He added that many of the residents of the community were able to flee the area while the battle between the soldiers and the insurgents lasted. Olukolade said that the figures being reported and attributed to eyewitnesses were exaggerated. “…It is however necessary to inform Nigerians in the interim that the exercise so far has not corroborated the report on the casualty rate which was put at 2,000. “From all available evidences, the number of people who lost their lives during that attack has so far not exceeded about 150 in the interim. This figure includes many of the terrorists who were bearing arms and got killed in the course of their attack and battle with troops. http://www.punchng.com/news/150-not-2000-died-in-baga-attacks-military-2/ #Now Show Us What SANDF Has Achieved In Battle For The Past 20 years Apart From Photography . 1 Like |

. Nigerian Army stands firm in Baga ! UPDATES ON BAGA BY GEN. CHRIS OLUKOLADE (Defence Spokesperson) @GENOlukolade: My attention has been drawn to a sponsored opinion in a Chadian Newspaper, The Government of Chad does not share this sentiment. The Sponsored piece on Chadian Paper Al-Widha claims Chad Govt refused to cooperate with our Military because we are allegedly corrupt. It is merely another remark to trumpet the campaign of local and foreign sympathizers or collaborators of terrorists operating in Nigeria. None of those meaningless allegations of corruption has ever been proved. They are just diversionary and a tool for detractors. Al-Widha Report: Another irresponsible alibi coming from the foreign and local pro-terrorist party. It means NOTHING to us here. We are Fighting in Baga. We are taking Terrorists down, We are losing our Soldiers too. STOP the Noise, Let’s Fight. [size=16 pt] No portion of Nigeria’s territory has been or will be conceded to terrorists. Not Baga. Boots on Ground, Raids from the Skies.[/size] We are MOBILIZING and REGROUPING to Save Baga. We are fighting Everywhere. We held Damaturu Down. Boko Haram is Evil. We are #BagaTogether Our OPs consider first protection of Civilians, the Innocents who are being assailed for refusing an Islamist Militant State. Since Jan 3, 2015 We’ve been at War in Baga . The attack by blood hounds on the innocent is EVIL and not those fighting them #BagaTogether What does it take to Shell or Reduce Baga to Debris. Should the Larger Population of the Good Pay the Price for the Wicked? Baga: Soldiers M.I.A rejoined their units, More Resources Deployed. There is more to Fight & Die for. For 1 Soul, For Pride. 2013; Amnesty accused us of Massacre in Baga even when evidence points to the fact that it is Terrorist Propaganda. Whatever, #BagaTogether We in the Military swore an Oath to the Code, of Allegiance to Country. Rise above Political Propaganda. Evil is Evil #BagaTogether For Reasons known to them Niger, Chad withdrew their Troops from the MJTF HQ’d in Baga. We own this fight. Stop the division #BagaTogether Lets spread the word #Support our heroes# [size=16pt]Nigerian army still Africa's best in combat....South Africa tops Hollywood Photomania rankings LOL...LOLZ...LOLLY LOL .[/size] 1 Like |

Henry120: Thats one more frigate than nigeria Thats one more sub than nigeria Augusta were temporarily grounded 3 C130's is more than you Over 14 gripen pilots - thats 14 more 4th gen platforms than you Those 10 attack helicopters are more advances than anything you have - their superioirty over the hind has been shown in combat Dude, you just pointed out how we are better than nigeria |

agaugust: Augustus - terrorism is not the only criterion, they use hundreds You cannot argue with the work of professionals who have dedicated their lives to work on the topic. Nigeria is currently the 16th most failed state on earth. Deal with it. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Daverytimes(m): 1:57am On Jan 13, 2015 |
Nayah: Nigeria is one of the most diverse Nations on planet earth, certainly in the top 3 (along with India and Papua new guinea). 8% of the worlds languages are spoken in Nigeria and to top it off we have more than 8 TIMES more people than you do (22 million vs 180+ million people). So never compare situations between Nigeria and Cameroon, cause you are nowhere near our level nor are you anywhere near our level of complexity. By the way since this thread is all about d1ck waving i will like to point out that Nigeria (with 8 times more people) have a per capita GDP that is TWICE Cameroonians, not overall GDP, Per capita (PPP). So you really should not be talking Nayah. 4 Likes |

Henry120: First - the navy is currently running at planned operational numbers. Only people whom lack knowledge on the topic think that peacime navies can run at anything other than an average of 1/3 strenght - just look at the german navy for example Second - there is alleged corruption not actual corruption Third - 14 gripen and growing is 14 more 4th gen platforms than nigeria |

Patchesagain: Your one and only lone ranger frigate will abandon 3,200 km massive coastline of South Africa and patrol Mozambique channel plus Nigeria's Gulf Of Guinea at the same time, your lone ranger frigate will be flying like jet fighter from coast to coast all over Africa . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 2:21am On Jan 13, 2015 |
Henry120: - we do need them (SAN has allways operated frigates) - we can and do man them, we are still following the blue print from when we aquired them: 1 operational, 1 training, 1 under maintenance, 1 in refit and the same with the subs (1 operational, 1 training, 1 refit) - the fact that the we have completely overhauled all of our equipment in South Africa shows quite clearly that we can maintain it. Henry120: A run down Corvette? You mean one of the latest corvettes in the Brazilian fleet? The indian flotilla was in port louis? wtf is port louis? The attended with an OPV? The INS Teg is an OPV now? BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH SAN and our strategic parters have just completed real and meaningful exercises that are far more strenuous and comprehensive than the Nigerian navy has ever done - your greatest acheivement is having a whole lot of countries come have a party in your waters while you contributed nothing and claimed it as your own (When it was actually AFCOM who organied and ran it) Lets also not mention that SAN sent a warship up the west coast of africa, had a frigate in Mozambique waters 24/7 (even when we had another frigate operating in EX Ibsamar) and conducted further exercises with the French Now we are performing maintenance in anticipation of the up coming exercises with the Germans |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 2:34am On Jan 13, 2015 |
Henry120: 1. Frigates and subs This is normal and it is how planned for them to operate when we bought them. Again, you fail to understand maintenance, its importance, and how much needs to be done. Take a look at the German Navy: only 2 out of 5 of their new K130 corvettes are operational at any one time You did buy 4 relic frigates - those vessels are over 45 years old. 2. Buying OPV's Frigates and subs were purchased to replace capacity the SAN was about to lose to old equipment. At that time there was no real piracy in Africa and hence no need for OPV's Now there is piracy is africa - so we are buying OPV"s 3. Gripen We fly them, we maintain them, we had 14 in the air over a year ago and new pilots constantly qualify - meaning the number is growing. 4. C-130's Because of maintenance, we only manage to keep 3 out of 9 operational. You only have 5 total - meaning your operational C-130's is much much lower. So well done on shooting yourself in the foot. SAN is a balanced war fighting organization, we can do littoral patrole, and we can fight wars - you can do neither. Lets imagine for a second what you say is true - that your lies hold some weight -, let us then compare our militarys: SAAF: 9 operational 4th gen fighters NAF: 0 SAN: 1 operational missile armed frigate NN: 0 SAN: 1 operational sub NN: 0 Who is then the strongest military between the two? Whom is better geared for war? Us or you? Clown |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 2:36am On Jan 13, 2015 |
agaugust: lol Fact is, Nigeria has ZERO operational missile armed warships |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 2:37am On Jan 13, 2015 |
Henry120: Henry120 Seriously We have disproven all of the above Yet you parrot it out over and over. Have you finally given up? Is this all you have left? How pathetic |

Daverytimes:I will always talk when it comes to my country get yourself clear. GDP is helping you to avoid bomb attacks? Or desertion from your army? Let me tell you something ... Africans are still behind because they are still praising westerners report and all that but a real powerful country is measured when it comes to situation like those of neighbouring Nigeria! A powerful country is able to protect his people a powerful country does not have electricity cut like you have , a powerful country is able to federate and NOT divide a powerful country acts, a powerful country knows what united means face to terrorism Are you a powerful country? I doubt I mean the World doubts As an "ordinary" country I know my position and don't dream of some compliments and then being humiliated everyday worldwide. As an ordinary country I'm VERY proud to see how is teaching you what is a real NATION. That's why I'm talking dude 1 Like |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 2:39am On Jan 13, 2015 |
agaugust: Thats not what I said And Henry120's article only confirms that the SAN is following world-wide standard naval maintenance programs. Look at the germans for example, their figures are the same. We have just finished a period of high operational tempo - repairs and maintenance must be done. |
