Drunkard.

You actually expect us to believe that the world's No 1 reference site on military rankings, is basing their rankings on mere personnel size?

Are you insane?

Bangladesh military has 135,00 men, while Nigeria's has 100,000.

So how come Bangladesh is far below Nigeria in rankings?

Pls don't bother responding.

Multi-milliIon dollar research from reputable international experts places Nigeria as 42nd on earth in terms of military.

WHAT A NOBODY LIKE YOU THINKS IS IRRELEVANT.

ThEGodFaThEr101:

I knew you don't have sense ab initio, but the Chadian soldiers were able to drive Bokoharam terrorists away from their country without mass civilian causality.

Secondly, talking about the US being unable to defeat the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Have you forgotten so easily that Bokoharam insurgents are occupying some local government in Nigeria and collecting Tax from the people there?

Mumu, didn't you see how the Navy Seals flew into Sambissa killed Bokoharam terrorists and rescued an American hostage in just days?

Did I include countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bolivia in the list I made. I called out countries with proper armies (Armies that will beat Nigeria any day any time) and the only way you could respond is to "best around the bush'", and say don't bother responding to me.

It is a hard fact to swallow but your country's military is not properly equipped to fight a modern day Army, battles in the present times isn't about the number of personnel.

ULOPVQ:


After making your unnecessary hullabaloo, go and look at the metrics used in determining the strength of that list you see.
You can choose to be a die-hard Patriot and nobody will give a damn about it. My only issue with it is argue smartly with real facts and not based on your emotions.

Rossntti:


You are a NOBODY, with zero military knowledge or experience.

You are NOT in a position to challenge the findings and research of experts.

Your ignorant nonsense stops here in Nairaland.

ULOPVQ:


I am currently a serving Air Force officer (not for your country's military), so again you are saying trash.

Rossntti:


You tell us the metrics. Is it just personnel size like you claimed?

Rossntti:


What country's military? Go on, tell us!

ULOPVQ:


The metrics used in determining the list is boldly stated there, so go back and read it later.

ULOPVQ:


don't stress yourself Old man, enough has been said already. I owe you no reason to tell you that, but bear in mind the country where my allegiance lies will REAP Nigeria apart.

it says:

2020 Military Strength Ranking

Global powers ranked by potential military strength.

The finalized Global Firepower ranking below utilizes over 50 individual factors to determine a given nation's PowerIndex ('PwrIndx') score with categories ranging from military might and financials to logistical capability and geography.

Our unique, in-house formula allows for smaller, more technologically-advanced, nations to compete with larger, lesser-developed ones and special modifiers, in the form of bonuses and penalties, are applied to further refine the annual list. Color arrows indicate year-over-year trend comparison (Rise, Neutral, Fall).

.................


So, what's your problem? This is a very comprehensive set of criteria to rank the nations militarily.

ULOPVQ:


The bolded is the metrics, read it carefully and understand it.

Rossntti:


Actually the world is 'rip' not ''reap''.

So, you're not a Nigerian. Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be on your own country's forums?

Why are you scared to tell us what country you're from?

ULOPVQ:


Thank you for the correction. I am Nigerian by birth, so I have every right to speak about the country and what goes on here is my business. I grew in Nigeria and went back to my country for military service, and joined the Air Force, so I am a Nigerian.

My country isn't your problem and there is no need to start speaking of my country.

Rossntti:


So you lied about being a foreigner. Why?

Rossntti:


It is YOU that seems confused by the stated metrics. If the metrics were inappropriate for the objective of the research, they would not be employed! They are used because they produce a more accurate reflection of military strength among the nations.

The very essence of research is to present an accurate picture of reality, not to distort or obfuscate it, which is what you seem to be suggesting.

ULOPVQ:


Have you considered the possibility of one of my parents no being Nigerians ? I don't hate your country I hate your leaders and the fact you defend their failure.

Read this properly and let me know what you make of it.

Rossntti:


Without our leaders, your Nigerian parent would have been a village illiterate peasant shunned by his or her partner.

Meaning that you wouldn't exist in your current form.

Nigeria only began to invest in mass public education in the 1960s, courtesy of those ''evil leaders''.

Prior to independence in 1960, our literacy rate was 5% after 70 years of British rule.

Today, it's at 70% after 60 years of those ''evil leaders''.

ULOPVQ:


Nigeria's literacy rate isn't up to 70%.

unatryooh:


Can you list the exact criteria used in calculating it?

Looking at the list I knew that you are misrepresentating the issue. I personally can only make a conclusion after seeing the metrics unfortunately the site says "some in house formula" which means we can't afford to let anyone review and point out the inconsistencies in our ranking formula.

One US aircraft carrier will sink all these toys in 1 day.

Rossntti:


You can say the same for virtually all the world's navies.

US annual military spending is the highest on earth,  and is more than the next 6 countries combined.

But what's the point of referring to them?

The Nigerian Navy is not being built to fight the United States..

Nigeria is a US ally and its biggest trading partner in Africa.

The navy's main focus is on defending the nation against regional and continental threats.
