Okay, I just checked they also use different camo for Army,Air force, Navy and marine Just like ours And they plan on having a common camo by 2018 But I think some of our uniforms are worn depending on the topography of where they are- am I right?


That's a lie. We use only one universal camo for all our arms

However, it does not change the fact that just amateurs overpowered your military inside their base and rob them of weapons the same way BH did in the past. Can you see now that even thugs have lost respect of your so called powerful military in Africa.

In fact, America is now changing into one universal camo at the fall of this year.

You don't stand a chance attacking SA at all. As for Nigeria, SA stand a perfect chance since even ordinary pirates can attack Nigerian base and loot it of its powerful weapons.

IF ONLY 4000 POORLY ARMED AND TRAINED BOKO HARAM MILITANTS CAN HOLD NIGERIAN MILITARY UNDER SIEGE FOR OVER SIX YEARS, HOW WILL NIGERIA KILL 4000 SA HIGHLY TRAINED AND HEAVILY ARMED SOLDIERS IN FEW HOURS? A BATTALION WHICH WILL BE GIVEN OVERHEAD COVER BY GRIPENS, ROOIVALK, AND G6 GUNS.

We have kill over 4000 Boko haram. You know nothing about terrorism which country end terrorism in days.

Boko harams are Nigerians with wives and children, they leave with us and can't know them except when they attack you or when you have good information from people around.

I don't blame you I only blame our corrupt leaders for that.

With what will you attack us you don't even have a capable vessels, jets nor a transport aircraft yourself.

Is this the ten pilot shiiit Henry an Augubugu has been feeding you when we proved them wrong when over 8 of our Gripen pilots went to Sweden and performed with excellence. You talk about pilots yet Nigeria has never in its entire history fought against any nation that had a airforce. No nigerian pilots has ever fight an air to air battle so come back and talk when you do in a 100 years.

Tell me how many F-7's you had 12 and two crashed in the last two years leaving you with only 3 pilots.

Go and fight your delta dwellers who embarrass your navy boy.

Yes, by the police but in Nigeria is used by military. I heard they are also introducing a new yellow one with purple boots. Nigerian military is into fashion, they are colour blocking man.

That's untrue, you have never killed over 4000 BH militants apart from suspected BH militants killed behind bars without evidence. Your military is incapable chief, big time.

Only three operational F7s are currently deployed into COIN missions and because of their unreliability only Alpha jets are used for aerial bombing instead.

NEW NIGERIA'S MILITARY CAMO WITH BOOTS COMING SOON. THE ARMY OF FASHION.

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Thiza: 10:26am On Aug 19, 2015
No fewer than 39 soldiers have attacked a community in Makurdi, the Benue state capital in fight over a lady married out to a community member.

The Nation reports that the soldiers from the Nigeria Army School of Military Engineering (NASME) laid siege on the community in the north bank area of Makurdi, where they vandalised not less than 200 vehicles and stole mobile phones, TV set, radio and other personal effects belonging to the residents.

The soldiers were also alleged to have raped some women, although this claim could not be ascertained by the Nation’s correspondent who was on ground, but it was confirmed that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Samuel Attah, was beaten up in the process and his new Toyota Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) was also smashed.

Amateur what!! they came in 4 speed boats, there was an exchange of gunfire so anybody was bound to die... They usually have insiders or sponsors. It takes a lot of guts to go burst an oil pipeline especially close to a JTF base.. Our military is still powerful..

They are terrorists not militants.. You call them BH suspects, then why do they want to exchange their members in our prisons for the chibok girls..Last month they kidnapped over 100 in Cameroon they are their new recruits.. If our military is incapable, BH will not be limited to 2states.. we are dealing with enemies living amongst us..

The country with the best military in Africa is Egypt, Algeria comes in at second, then Nigeria in 3rd place.

South-African systems are generally obsolete and are poorly manned.

Frigates = Obsolete( Technical details have been provided) and poorly manned.

Gripens = Chronic pilot shortage and lacking BVR capabilities

Tanks = World war 2 relics

IPVs/ MPVs = virtually non-existent

Subs = Poorly manned/ obsolete

Artillery = so few in numbers

Infantry = the oldest in the world/ poorly trained ( CAR perfect example)

Mokopa missiles = Broke and cannot afford it.

APCs = for a country that makes them, they have so few in service. Their troops, Special forces in the CAR lacked basic APCs.

Verdict : the South-African military is generally an ineffective poorly trained and inexperienced force.

Counter point

Frigates = Nigeria has none, except the 30 year old aradu which has obsolete weapons systems, been crashed 8 times and has not left port in allmost a decade and no qualified crew to operate it

F-7's = obsolete platform, they are so poorly maintained and their pilots so poorly trained that they crash allmost like clockwork. They also have no recon pods, no targeting pods, no ability to deploy PGM's, no data-link and an outdated WVR missile

Tanks = Majority of which are non operational, majority of which are utterly ancient. Their "new tanks" are obsolete T-72's... and as we know it, the T-72 is probably the worst tank in the world.

IPVs/MPV's = The only thing that is half decent in the Nigerian fleet (the rest of the fleet being either non-operational or having an average age of 44 years)

Subs = Nigeria has none and never will have any

Artillery = a hodge podge collection of artillery, the majority of which belongs in a museum (their D-30's were designed in 1963, their D-74's were designed in WW2) all of which is outranged by South African guns.

Air-defence = Nigeria has utterly obsolete air-defence systems, composed of Rolands with expired missiles and ancient MANPAD's. They have no mobile radars, no combat managment systems and no datalink intergration

Infantry = Your infantry equal so much i am going to make a list
- Ill diciplined rabble (Shooting at officers, raiding friendly towns, getting drunk on the frontline (Vice), going AWOL so they can visit brothrels behind the frontline, selling weapons to BH)
- Zero moral (over 400 fled into cameroon, multiple instances of soldiers retreating "without even firing a shot", Army Cheifs admit that for Nigeria "desertion is a normal part of war"wink
- Terribly equipped (soldiers have to buy their own uniforms, soldiers have to pay for medical treatment, soldiers have to substitute equipment with civilian clothing, soldiers are only issued with ...............30 to 60 rounds of ammunition, soldiers often go unfed)
- Renowned for warcrimes
- Terribly trained (have to be sent oversease/hire mercenaries/beg the americans for decent training) The only formations that perform vaugely well are those trained by foreigners/abroad

ATGM's = Nigeria has no modern ATGM's, instead they have to rely on the Swingfire (designed in 1966)

APC's = Their entire army only has less than 200 MRAP's, their APC's are an obsolete collection of hand me downs from Europe

Verdict: Nigeria posses'es one of the worst equipped militaries in Africa. This is not surprising though since their military has been in decline for over 16 years

Who is this man?

You don't even know what you are saying. Not even UK is thinking of buying f22 rite now. They are only selling f35.

Do we have to teach u guys everything.

Nigeria has a brighter future than South Africa and that scares you. That is why you have to blind everybody with lies and incomplete project.

Bently don't need to advertise there cars before people know it worth. We know ourself and our capability. You are not better than us.

Egyptians and Algerians are not here and we still tell you they are better to tell you how sincere we are but you still want to claim you are the best in Africa.

Keep deceiving yourself and keep stealing other people's glory.

Stop claiming what you are not in other to make people feel you are important. A Bently is different from Toyota no matter the advert.
What the actual fvck mate!!!

I know the US arent selling the F22, thats exactly why i used it in my post!!And NO!! Nigeria is just another sh1t hole in Africa and will always be so.

And Lastly never once did i say we were better than Algeria or Egypt, all i said was that our defence force is more modern.
