That is because they are battle tested. Being fighting Boko Haram for 20 years now. And With her air components it would be easy for Nigeria to overthrow any government in west Africa.

But the big question would be can they hold down after the deed is done. That I will say No. Even America that quickly subdued Saddam Hussien faced a ferocious battle keeping the peace.

What do you guys think.

As we celebrate Armed Forces ’s day.

But they cannot overrun the terrorists slapping them around inside Nigeria?

Not just west Africa but much of Africa except for Egypt, Ethiopia and south Africa.

Probably only Egypt. SA has not really fought a war in about 30 years and most of their experience fighters are all retired. What you have is this new aje butter fighters that have not seen a live bullet in operation. Nigeria would easily overrun SA but they may not be able to hold it because of SA arsenals. So yes we can overrun them but in the long run be defeated.

Once you are battle tested u would easily do it. That is why America always like creating some phantom war to test their soldiers.

Of course, that is obvious. We have a much larger army and the only meaningful airforce in the subregion. Without putting boots on the ground, our air force can decimate our neighbor's military infrastructure in a matter of hours.

What has SA presence in DRC done to help DRC throw out the Rwandas and their allies. If you want your army to be ready for battle at any time u need to send them to on missions abroad.

But the big joke of Africa and of the millennium is still the Biafran military.

Biafra military holds that ace anytime and any day and any where.

According to Taffy Williams
Give me 10,000 Biafrans for six months, and we'll build an army that would be invincible on this continent.

Don’t even talk of Ethiopia they are useless, they needed the help of smaller Eritrea to defeat the rebels in tygry region of Ethiopia. It is like Nigeria needing the help of Cameroon to defeat the Rebels in the SE region of Nigeria.

That is not a conventional war. That is an asymmetric confrontation. Just like what the US experience in Vietnam.

The question remains, If Biafra had been an independent nation with a fully equipped military, would Nigeria, without external backing of Britain, Russia, Egypt andArabworld, and without resorting to starvation of women and children and sabotage of farmlands, have overrun Biafra in 24 hours—or even in 24 years?


The truth is, the idea of Nigeria overrunning a fully prepared Biafra would remain a delusional fantasy, not even achievable in a thousand years.

Story,

Corruption within the military alone will frustrate the invasion, war strategies can easily be bought from top generals..

Then religious factor... If the country we are invading is an Islamic country we will never win.. I know what I'm saying..

To be sincere the Biafrans put a good fight. But then the Nigerian army at the time where a colonial army that had never seen a war so there would be a bit of rustiness. But today’s army have been fighting for 20 years and they are battle tested.

Can someone tell the stupidly overconfident Op that modern warfare isn't the way he thinks it is. You wake up and think up this rubbish and you expect everyone to agree with you.

This is the same stupid over confidence that has become the end of many armies in the world. Even Russia got to learn the hard way.

You will learn the hard way that modern warfare isn't only about numbers and being battle tested. Fighting for over 20 years simply means the NA is over stretched and fatigued for fighting an unending and need less war.

How many allies do we have? You think if you invade any African country, their allies will sit down and watch you do it?

Or you think the country's military will run or scamper for safety when they see you coming?

Because you have been fighting bandits and BH who don't even have advanced military equipment, you think you are Battle tested...I laugh in glorious bewilderment.

How do people survive with such stuppidity in their brains? How are they able to cross the road daily?

Don’t be scared because we are not invading your friends up North. Because I know u are one of those sabotaging our efforts. But let us say the truth Soldier for Soldier we would overrun those people up north in less than 24 hours.

if u have sense u would know there's nothing like boko haram but pure politics

North doesn't have oil but that's their own cash cow, go n check how much is assigned to fight terrorism even when they don't spend one quarter of it n u will understand the meaning of war business

Many of u just say stupid things without reasoning n I don't blame u it's because u chose to see only what u want to see

US soldiers came here n they couldn't do anything in a small sambiza forest that a major among them said in anger that

" There's nothing like terrorism in Nigeria but pure conspiracy, if we can defeat Al Qaeda n co n kill Osama bin Laden then y can't we flush out these criminals, there's more to this than terrorism"

But block heads like u still believe our soldiers aren't capable

I need you to address the points I mentioned in my post. This is not about wishful thinking.
You are talking about sabotaging efforts, I am talking about preserving the lives of our soldiers so that they don't become sitting ducks.

You can't wake up and say you will take over a country in 24 hrs, because you are who?

My case study of Russia, is enough reason for any country to discard this overconfident line of thought. Russia has lost so many high ranking officers, they have even resorted to using death row inmates in fighting the war. Despite using soldiers form other countries, they still haven't taken Ukraine in years. You have a brain, use it for thinking.

Russia vs Ukraine shattered every illusion, exposing the undeniable truth: a smaller, efficiently run military can cripple a much larger, clumsier force. Apply that to a hypothetical war between a fully organized Biafran military and the Nigerian military without the from Britain, Russia, Egypt, or the Arab world.
It wouldn’t even be a contest.
Nigeria’s military would be dragged into a brutal stalemate against Biafra’s relentless precision. Casualties would mount.


Overstretched and demoralized, they’d have no choice but to go to the negotiation table proving that numbers without strategy are nothing .

I still believe any day without from Britain, Egypt, Russia and Arab world that Nigeria military will never win a Biafran military. testament to this is the grotesque manner Ekpa's madness was enforced in the whole east with the authority of the military and police spat on for 4 years without challenge.

It's a serious crime for any terrorists to raise a flag in a country. Most military find that as the ultimate disrespect. In Nigeria, Boko Haram does this on a frequent basis and the group still exist up to this very day. A simple question. Can you imagine the Nigerian military in a combat with the terrorist like how the Chadian president and military fought them?
slimfit1(m): 1:33pm On Jan 15
Nigerian army don't have F16 Nigerien does we don't have any chance at all. A military without F15 and F16 is not a serious military formation a country should be proud of. A country still buying and using 1970s aircraft is only going to fight insurgents they can't fight another country with those equipment.
