paddy_lo: OK first of all i am posting pictures of the Nigerian military,mostly from skyscrapercity and other online sources of pictures
The nigerian military is a highly proffesional fighting force
especially since the return of democracy.it has distinguished itself abroad in terms of peacekeeping all around the world
Today, Nigeria leads the world in international peacekeeping. Of the 80 countries contributing troops to over 20 global operations, Nigeria has more than 6,500 men keeping the peace outside its borders in places such as Bosnia Herzgovena, Iraq, Kuwait, Western Sahara, Liberia, Angola, Rwanda. Nigerian troops have also served in Somalia, Mozambique and Cambodia, The Congo, Chad, Lebanon, India, Pakistan (Kashmir). The key thing in global peacekeeping are the men and women risking their lives in the interest of peace. Nigeria has more of those people than any other country in the world.
the military is also helping to quell occasional outburst of violence anywhere in the country,like the boko-haram crises that was just crushed in northern nigeria
below are pics and some random information about the pictures from online sources
