I WONDER IF PEOPLE HERE CAN REALISE THAT NIGERIAN PILOTS ARE UNSKILLED AND UNTRAINED. THEY FIRE WITH NO PRECISION CAUSING COLLATERAL DAMAGE EVERYWHERE. THAT'S WHY SA MERCENARIES WERE FLYING THEIR GUNSHIP.
The NAF has flown over 5000 sorties since july last year till date..yet no one has ever heard of "collateral damage everywhere".
After 5 years of constant aerial operations,only 2 fighter jets,1 helicopter and 1 armed drone has crashed so far.This is a testament of the level of professionalism in the NAF,we beat the egyptian airforce in professionalism.

lol....The bailout was given by the federal government to the state government,to help the pay workers.
No loan was ever made.
The money was withdrawn from the NLNG account,not the ECA,the ECA is still intact: the presidency assured Nigerians that the ECA and other federal reserves are very much intact.
If you dont understand simple economics,then keep quiet.
As for 8000 POWs dying in custody,its all false figures made up by AI,as was the 5000 people who purportedly 'vanished' from baga without a trace early this year.
lol,the apache deal is already done,in light of the new US-Nigeria relationship.

Apply for military aid from SA?,lol,you south africans can barely feed yourselves,your government can no longer provide constant power supply,over 30% of your population are unemployed with poverty,hunger,disease and violence on the rise,furthermore, your parliamentarians are always physically pummelling each other on the floor of the parliament,displaying the primitive mentallity of a banana republic.Does that sound like a country capable of giving any type of aid?,SA should try to send aid to zimbabwe from the pitiful change in your treasury.
We are aiming to be in the league of South Korea,Japan,NetherlandUK and other US allies.

Who told you that. SA still provide 24hs power except it is sometimes interrupted by 3hrs of load sheddings one or twice a week. However, the power is still constant.

Ask for military aid and we will give it to you.

You must be an illiterate,the FG gave out N400bn bailout to 16 states for the payment of state workers,while the Central Bank of Nigeria approved a soft loan to cushion individual state economies from crashing out on short term basis.
Where does it say that the FG is 'penniless'?,if the FG is broke,will it be able to give out $1.6bn bailout to 16 states and sponsor the MNJTF with another $10m?,if Nigeria is broke,will the CBN be able to approve another N300bn soft loan to ailing state governments?

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Thiza: 2:00pm On Jul 21, 2015
Nigeria has one of the lowest net electricity generation per capita rates in the world. The organisation responsible for electricity production and supply in Nigeria is the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), formerly the National Electric Power Authority, known as NEPA. Nigeria is in the process of privatising the PHCN, hoping this will lead to greater investment in the sector and consequently increased power generation.

Nigeria’s epileptic power supply has taken a turn for the worse in recent months. Despite investing over $30 billion in the sector in the past 15 years, the total electricity supply as at today is less than a mere 1,400 megawatts (MW) for a country of over 170 million people.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/nigerias-electricity-crisis-is-a-failure-in-leadership/

SOUTH AFRICA
ESKOM, with a generating capacity of 35 200 MW from 20 power stations, is one of the largest utilities in the world, and generates approximately 98% of South Africa's electricity. Generation is primarily coal-fired, but also includes a nuclear power station at Koeberg, two gas turbine facilities, two conventional hydroelectric plants, and two hydroelectric pumped-storage stations. The company also owns and operates the national transmission system.

Seventy percent of South Africa’s population have access to electricity, well above the SADC average of around 20 %.

South Africa, Africa's most industrialised nation, generates 44 175 megawatts for its 51-million people. Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, generates about 3 200 megawatts for its 170-million people. Simply put, per capita, South Africans enjoy 55 times more electricity than Nigerians.

Size isn’t everything

The country may be a giant, but it is still poor: Nigeria ranks 153rd out of 187 countries in the UN’s Human Development Index. Despite the rapid growth of recent years, unemployment remains high and the number of people in poverty has actually increased. Even with the revised figures, GDP per head is only $2,700; South Africans are more than twice as rich. Whereas large parts of South Africa have a rich country’s infrastructure, Nigeria suffers from clogged traffic and chronic power cuts. Lack of development is helping to breed an insurgency in the mainly Muslim north and stokes violence elsewhere that creates no-go areas for foreigners. And the numbers also show its growth rate is slipping—to perhaps 6.5% this year. To absorb the millions of young people pouring into the labour market, Nigeria requires the sustained double-digit growth that China has shown to be

Nigeria's dire finances show it cannot grease the economy with fickle oil alone


Twenty-three of Nigeria’s 36 states have not paid their civil servants for months, while spending on capital projects has been frozen, in some cases since last year. In south-western Osun state, the situation is so bad that trade unions sought food and cash donations for workers before the Ramadan month of fasting.

I see your country is a far less profitable place to do business compared to Nigeria.

Millions of Chinese, Indians, Mexicans, Philippinos, Egyptians, Lebanese etc are immigrants all over the world in America, Europe and Africa.

Then South African whites are running away to USA, EU, Australia.

Other South Africans, blacks and coloureds have poor education combined with spirit of laziness and lack of professional job experience to make them survive outside the ANC cash hand out comfort zone for lazy Soweto parasites, that is why your own people cannot travel out.

What an id1ot you are. A cut amounting to 5% of what you earn is far better than one amounting to 50% of what you earn, whether you are talking nairas or dollars. Fact is 50% of your officials's salaries will be cut. That's 50% closer to 100%. The Canadians are a whopping 95% away from 100%. A share that loses 50% of its value is worse than one that loses 5% if its value, even if you are comparing pennies and dollars

Face it, you are dirt poor, you lot. You have no money. Your president said it and your nation is acting it. People are sitting unpaid and you have already borrowed more than half of your borrowing limit; and it's not even August yet.
