Nigeria and air defence systems are opposite of each other.
What will have in Nigeria is foot soldiers because even our airforce can’t withstand Egypt or Algeria airforces.

The only secure place in Nigeria is Aso Rock because they rest of Nigerians are not important ; according to our leaders

I'm just curious about it, I checked Google but can't get a clear answer

We do

I am 100% sure that we have portable air defense systems(short range). We don't have medium/long range air defense systems.

We have the very old Roland Air Defence System and the British Blow Pipe in small quantity and they are short range defence system. These are old air defence systems that can't handle modern day threat. As Nigerian military continue to undergo modernization I hope the military would see the need to have modern sophisticated air defence system.

Nigeria as a country is not under any major threat by an advanced enemy. Nigeria's military is just advanced above the level of its threats. That's all.

Nigeria has many short range air defense systems and some protecting the Aso Rock.

Nigeria also acquired the Chinese HQ-9 SAM system which is a medium range system back in 2020.

Oga, any offensive or defensive weapon can be turned to do the opposite.... why was russia freaking out at the stationing of Patriot missile batteries near them?

Or why are they firing s300 missiles into ukrain? No be defensive weapon s-series be?

The price of corruption is revealed when there is a sudden enemy at your doorstep, then you regret all the decades you were lazy, and the enemy will use your weakness against you.

Global powers do not bother about Nigeria because it's not formidable. If they want to destroy Nigeria today as they did to Libya, they can. Only Egypt will deal with us, and the fight would be like a tiger and a mouse.

You think warfare is about Hilax trucks, with men carrying guns with strong faces. When modern warfare could be fought without a soldier ever landing in Nigeria.

I mean, how can you defeat an external power when your weapon is bought from them? and they sold the oldest, shittiest, and useless helicopters to you with the loan you borrow from them?

Forget about air defense, does Nigeria have a defense against cyber attack, biological attack, and financial attack,? If maybe Russia decides to blow us off the map tomorrow, can we defend ourselves? The answer is a disgraceful NO.

Nigerian corruption can go so long because we do not have any external enemies that consider us important. When their interest and ours cross, on that very day, Nigeria is finished. That is the price you pay for being weak. The existence of the weak is always at the mercy of the strong.

Let us just say Libya of 2011 had much better airdefenses than Nigeria of today.
That tells you that any country with an airforce or missiles will do what it wants in Nigeria without any opposition.

Hmmmmmmmm

And that is the reason when they give us unreasonable policies to implement, we can only grumble and growl while we better implement them if we don't want to meet our Waterloo

I disagree with you

You underestimate Nigeria just like a lot of young people who grew up not knowing Nigerias capabilities in many areas.
Yes we do have air defence systems (old ones and new ones as new as purchase in year2020)
Yes we do have defence against cyber attack..ask INEC how many attacks it wards off annually.
If we don't have defence against financial attacks your balance won't still be in your bank account

Nigeria have a lot of things not working but My brother we have a lot of capabilities.....we were not called giant of Africa before for nothing.....I too was shocked the year I discovered there are not less than 3 nuclear reactors in Nigeria..... 1 each at ABU and OAU and 1 at the gamma irradiation centre of SHEDDA science and technology complex abuja(though strictly for research).
Was even more shocked to learn we also have at least 1 submarine.

mtcheew.

Nigeria is called the giant of Africa not because it is truly a giant, but because it's the most populated. China is also the economic giant of Asia, and America is the giant of the western hemisphere. In South America, its Brazil. In Oceania, it's Australia.

If you notice, all these countries have one thing in common, and it is that they have the largest population in their respective region. So it's not about the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

Just tell TInubu to not offend Isreal, that tiny country that Niger state is bigger than at least x3 will deal with Nigeria like there is no tomorrow. Just a single nuke in Abuja will lead to an unconditional surrender. No single Israeli soldier will land in Naija.

The cyber attack inec is defending against are from broke hackers. If Russian, American or Iranian hackers get your time, lol.

If you realize, the antelope does not know if it will die tomorrow. His existence is in the hands of the predator. If a lion decides today that I want to eat you, it's over for the antelope.

The same jungle rules apply in reality. Gadaffi was weak, hence when the West decided he will die, he was dead and Libya was destroyed. Laws and rules are just masks for the brutal nature of reality.

Law serves the strong but punishes the weak. For laws to work for you equally, you can not afford to be weak. Now you can understand why Nigerian leaders cozy so much foolishly to the West.

Because they understand that if they offend their western masters, it's over. Buhari is cooling off in London now, can he stay there if he didn't cozy up to the west and let their cooperation (eg shell) plunder Nigerian wealth?

Now look me in the eye and tell me that colonialism is over. It is not. It only evolved.
