Actually, the Nigerian military is more powerful than several European and South American militaries.

The Nigerian military is ranked 42nd on earth, well above Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Portugal, Croatia, Bulgaria, Finland, Slovakia, New Zealand and a few others.

The Nigerian military is also ranked above Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, Malaysia, UAE, Bangladesh, and many others.

Mosquito brain, if the US are so great, why are they unable to dislodge the terrorIsts THEY have to deal with EVERYDAY in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq etc?

It is one thing flying in on a commando rescue mission and flying back out to applause.

Quite another when you have to deal with the insurgency daily.

As for your reference to Chad, Boko Haram have NOT been ''driven out of Chad'', as you falsely claimed.

Just last week, an attack there killed several Chadian troops:

Stop being foolish.

US was only supporting their ally with pockets of their forces not fighting a full fledge war like NA.

Can the terrorist try the USA within US soil?

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.

Yet bokoharam is still using them to do suya in sambisa what is the use of the ranking? Ordinary neighboring chad defeated bokoharam within few weeks while it's taking nigerian army forever am very all those countries ranked below nigeria on paper will surely easily defeat the whole nigeria's military in a real war.

Most Africans are brazenly idiotic to refer anything Africa as "Black". Yet these moronic dingbats would want Europeans, North Americans and Asians to respect them. No dumbass fool gets respect of any sort.

Rossntti:


If your donkey brain cannot understand the simple fact that to eliminate Boko Haram swiftly would entail mass civilian casualties, since they wear no uniforms and blend in with the public easily, then I've no idea how to help you.

If defeating terrorism is a 5 day affair, you have to wonder why it's taking the US close to 30 years to defeat the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You make no sense the US is fighting the terrorists outside their own country far away and safer from their civilian population. Can any terrorist organization survive a week in US soil?

Rossntti:


So...

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.

Young man, you can make a sensible argument without insulting others. You created a good thread to promote the Navy, don't make the Navy look stupid by insulting those it's supposed to protect.

Nigerian military is a very useless one, why? Because it doesn't train it's personnel on ethics and manners. This is why we have military men behaving like Hisbah and so many degrading entities.

How many battles or achievements have the Nigerian Navy recorded for it to get this accolades from you? Do you crown yourself a champion where there is no fight or war?
Can Real madrid be champions of Europe without playing the champions league? What really has the Navy achieved?
Is it oil bunkering abolishment? Shore patrol? Oil theft (this happens daily)? Why are you a judge in your own case?

Don't insult people because you had someone that helped you enter the Navy, the Nigerian military doesn't appeal to most people anymore because it has degenerated steadily into a political tool. Wanna insult me also? Feel free.

On paper. In reality, powerless to stop, or rescue 300 students kidnapped by a ragtag of bandits.

We all know the kidnappers can’t be more than 10km away with that number of students and will be easy to locate and neutralise

Sorry. I have zero respect for the Nigeria security forces. Zero

Stop telling lies. Chad has NOT defeated Boko Haram, and lost 4 soldiers last week to them in an attack. I posted the news link earlier. Go and read it. The US army is still fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan for 30 years, but you still kiss their butts.

And every sensible person will take the word of world military experts over a know-nothing, ignorant street dunce like you who thinks he is worth nothing.

Err, ranking above them means we are militarily stronger than them. Unless it means something else in your little thoughtless head talking about 'jet fighters' as if jet fighters are all that guarantee victory in combat.

How do you know they have ''better bombs''? Have you researched even ONE of those countries' militaries? NO. You just ASSUME, that because they are ''white people'', that whatever military any of them have, MUST be better than whatever Nigeria has. It's not even about the specific country with you guys. Just their white skin means to you that their military must be better than Nigeria's.

I mean, the level of complex shamelessly displayed by so many of you on this forum is shameful and disgusting.

Here's a comparison between Nigeria and Portugal in terms of military equipment. Portugal has a few more jet fighters than Nigeria, but overall, Nigeria beats her hands down, and is almost 20 nations above her.

Not all. Some US, some UK, some Italy, some China. The Nigerian Navy is also a rising ship manufacturer in its own right, and has released two so far, with bigger designs in the pipeline:


MADE IN NIGERIA:

NNS Karaduwa


NNS Andoni



''NNS Andoni (P-100) is a seaward defense boat of the Nigerian Navy. It is the first of 3 vessels in its class, with each vessel a larger variant of the previous one. Its armament includes a manned 30mm main gun, two 12.7mm and two 40mm AGL. It also has a RHIB embarked.

History
The vessel was conceived as a research and development project by Vice Admiral GTA Adekeye and Rear Admiral GJ Jonah, who were at the time Chief of Naval Staff and Chief of Naval Engineering respectively.

The first Nigerian-built warship, it was named after the Andoni people of south-eastern Nigeria.

"We came up with the design, the expertise and about 60% of the materials were locally sourced. The engines, generators and navigation equipment came from outside. This is the beginning of the transformation and I believe in another 10 to 15 years, we can be thinking about starting a project to take Nigerians into the air," said President Goodluck Jonathan.''

Proudly Nigerian, NNS Andoni

Nigeria celebrates first home-made warship

By Will Ross

BBC News

7/06/2012






"Proudly Nigerian" does not just apply to the people of this vast land - the West African giant is now building its own warships.

After nearly five years in the making, the Nigerian navy ship or NNS Andoni was launched with a colourful event.

At 31m (100ft) long, this is no giant of the seas, but the fact that it was designed and built in Nigeria, by Nigerian engineers, is a great source of pride.

"We are all happy and elated," said Commodore SI Alade, one of Nigeria's senior naval officers.

"This is the first time this kind of thing is happening in Nigeria and even in the sub region."

Moments after stepping on board NNS Andoni, sailor FL Badmus said: "I feel on top of the world.

"I'm proud to have been picked by the naval authorities to serve on this ship.

"We hope this is the beginning of very good things to come and we thank God for it."

The warship was named after the Andoni people of south-eastern Nigeria - and several chiefs travelled to Lagos to witness the launch - including his Royal Highness NL Ayuwu Iraron Ede-Obolo II, wearing a top hat, a sequin-adorned velvet gown and a brightly coloured necklace.

The ceremony also featured multi-faith prayers, with an imam asking God to "protect and preserve this ship from the dangers of the day and the violence of the enemy", and a Christian praying: "May she sail with success like the Ark of Noah."

The event had an interesting twist of symbolism for the guest of honour, Nigeria's leader, Goodluck Jonathan.

He is from a family of canoe makers - and that he is now the president launching a warship is a sign of how far he has risen.

"This is the beginning of the transformation... and I believe in another 10 to 15 years, we can be thinking about starting a project to take Nigerians into the air," President Jonathan said.

The NNS Andoni could be key in the fight against militants operating near Nigeria's oil fields as well as the growing threat of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.

Piracy in Nigerian waters is on the increase and incidents are happening over a wider area, according to the International Maritime Bureau.

There were 10 piracy attacks off the 780km (485 miles) of Nigeria's coastline during the first quarter this year - the same number reported for the whole of 2011.

"While the number of reported incidents in Nigeria is still less than Somalia… the level of violence against crew is dangerously high," according to a recent IMB report.

The NNS Andoni is equipped with an advanced radar system and firepower.

"With a speed of up to 25 knots (46km/h), this can quickly go to intercept the pirates," said Commanding Officer Adepegba standing on the bridge pointing out the ship's three machine guns and the automatic grenade launcher.


Foreign orders

The Nigerian navy reportedly wants to acquire 49 more vessels over the next 10 years. But how many will be home built?

Orders are already in - for three from a French shipbuilder, and six from Singapore.


'No indigenous touch'

After parading on the deck, the naval officers took photos of each other with mobile phones - clearly delighted with the new ship.

"It's a great day. It's taken over five years but it's worth it," said a smiling Kelechi, one of the engineers.

"We came up with the design, the expertise and about 60% of the materials were locally sourced. The engines, generators and navigation equipment came from outside."

Nigeria is one of Africa's biggest oil producers, but this has not so much helped as hampered the development of local industries because the country has relied so heavily on imported goods.

As he launched NNS Andoni, President Jonathan lamented the decline of industries that had been strong not long after independence in 1960.

"We had Nigerian Airways, the Nigerian shipping line and a number of investments that were doing well. But because there was no indigenous touch, all these died," the president said.

"We are told that some countries that were on par with us are now building aircraft, choppers and other things," he said, adding that Nigeria had for a long time not embraced technology.

The president suggested sending the brightest students of engineering to the best universities in the world.

"Then let them come back and work in Nigeria because we cannot continue to be importing. We have a very large market and even what we consume alone is enough to support an industry."

"We have this market, we must use it," President Jonathan said - before laying the keel to mark the start of work on the second "Made in Nigeria" warship.
