stillchris: This is what I like about you nigerians you love to spew garbage without facts. -Was it the SA government or human rights NGO's who went to the Pretoria High Court. -The Judiciary and government are independent entities in SA. -So did SA police detain Bashir, or showed any intention to arrest him? -Did you read what the response by ANC was on monday when they declared that they will commence procedures in Parliament in order that SA would no longer be signatory to the Roman Statuette. I really think some of you nigerians need to think before you comment on issues and petty arguments aside. 1 Like |

ssaengine: Show us a source to prove that your pod works at 40,000 feet and can identify targets CLEARLY to avoid friendly fire on your own army. What is the range of your pod's short range tiny camera ? Does your camera have image magnification lens ? Then you need men on ground to walk into enemy base and place laser designators on the enemy equipment for your pod to work, your soldiers will enter inside Nigerian army base abi ? Else you need to fly only withing range of the pod laser/FLIR to find target and risk enemy air defences fire. Your targeting pod has no missile to guide from a Gripen, all you have is a slow snail speed guided bomb that will be shot down by Roland SAM |

Angola spent more on its military last year than any other sub-Saharan African nation even though it’s been at peace since a civil war ended more than a decade ago. The southwest African country, which is about twice the size of Texas, budgeted $6.8 billion on defense, second only to Algeria in continental Africa, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. It’s more than the combined amount of Nigeria and South Africa, the region’s biggest economies that together have a population 10 times larger. Spending rose almost fourfold since the end of Angola’s 27-year conflict in 2002, the institute said. “What’s spectacular about this is that you essentially have a country that has been at peace over the last 13 years,” Ricardo Soares de Oliveira, author of the book “Magnificent and Beggar Land: Angola Since the Civil War,” said in a phone interview from London. “Just the numbers tell a crazy story.” Angola, the continent’s second-largest crude oil producer after Nigeria, has assumed a regional leadership role to broker peace in the rebel-threatened eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and sits as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The country’s emphasis on defense spending leaves it with less cash available to alleviate poverty in a country with the world’s highest child mortality rate. Defense Budget Even after Angola cut its budget by a quarter this year, reeling from a 40 percent plunge in oil prices, defense and security spending is set to rise, budget figures show. It will exceed the combined total allocated for health and education, according to Finance Ministry documents. The outlay on the military remains opaque with the government of sub-Saharan Africa’s third-largest economy failing to fully disclose its spending plans. A Defense Ministry spokesman, who gave his name only as Adriano, declined to comment when reached by phone in Luanda on Thursday. Angola invested $1 billion on fighter jets and weapons from Russia in 2013, according to Vedomosti, a Moscow-based business newspaper. The country paid an undisclosed sum for surveillance drones from Israel, London-based aviation news website Flightglobal.com reported. Armored Vehicles It’s also buying 45 Casspir armored personnel carriers from South Africa’s state-owned Denel SOC Ltd., according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies’ 2015 Military Balance report assessing defense policy. “These deals are handled by a handful of people that revolve around President Jose Eduardo dos Santos,” Paula Roque, a Johannesburg-based analyst with International Crisis Group, said by phone. The president has the discretion to spend a percentage of the budget “in any manner or form he wants, without accountability, fiscal transparency and without oversight of other organs of the state,” she said. The decline in oil income will force the government to slow its defense purchases, according to Alex Vines, director of the Africa Program at Chatham House in London. Already Angola shelved plans to buy seven patrol boats from Brazil in a deal agreed on in September, Vines said. Regional Power “The government was planning on a modernization process of the armed forces, partly aimed at strengthening Angola’s reputation as an emerging regional power in central Africa and the Gulf of Guinea,” Vines said in an e-mailed response to questions. “Oil price falls have meant a number of these efforts have been scrapped or moth balled.” Angola, with a population of 24 million, has an active armed forces of about 107,000, composed of 100,000 soldiers, 6,000 air corps members and 1,000 navy officers, according to IISS. That’s the sixth-largest contingent in sub-Saharan Africa, after Sudan’s 244,300 troops, followed by South Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Angola maintains a “ghost army” of former combatants that bloat the payroll, to ensure stability after the civil war, Vines said. Dos Santos, in power since 1979, ensures a portion of the defense budget goes to his military leaders and he appoints people who have no independent power base inside the ruling party so that they remain loyal to him, said Soares de Oliveira. “It’s meant that the army is both extraordinarily mighty, at least in terms of its size in the sub-Saharan Africa context there’s practically no equivalent,” Soares de Oliveira said. “But it’s also been politically reliable and politically quietist; it hasn’t had aspirations.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-12/angola-in-peacetime-is-sub-saharan-africa-s-top-defense-spender 1 Like |

Henry120: Fcvktard your country is a member of OIC and it was a clear contradiction for a nation who "pride" itself as a champion paper towel for the oppressed. It was only after threating calls from Israel your lap dog FG decided to go against OIC. Nigeria has a reputation for going against there own moral standing and drumming for the oppressors the same way your former dictators killed Sarawiwa. Speaking of China you should cool your rants because every single thing that smells like development is run by Chinese in naiji-poon. Like Mugabe said you are a spineless wanna giant that can't even deal with poorly armed boko goats without calling on smaller yet better trained and equipped Chad to save your black .a.sses. 1 Like

DictatorZAR: Nigeria's national Interest is our number 1 priority, sacrosanct and numero uno. Again dummy, Nigeria abstained. It did not vote against. Nigeria has a moral standing first to Nigeria, then Africa. Our records of freeing enslaved Africans, including caged black South-Africans Is testament to our moral impeccable grandstanding. Nigeria's growth is as a result of the Naija attitude. Nigerians built Naija. The biggest construction company in Africa is Nigerian. Your photo, just a single mis-guided officer. On the other hand, the Chinese government Dictates the policy decisions for South-Africa. You are the Chinese Republic of South-Africa.
