1. Yes we are no matter how much you might wanna shit on the country's parade. America has over 10 enemies who won't mind obliterating them within secs so they must develop & own such weapons. China must exert force in Asia or get toppled so they need 5th gen jets. Israel can't
2. sleep with their eyes closed as they have made enemies all around them so they need super attack capabilities & solid defence systems. Saudi Arabia has to police the gulf or else insurgency will come right into their country & crash their multi billion dollar empire.

4. upto 10,000 total military personnel. Niger has less than 7,000 service personnel. Cameroon has about 15,000 while Chad has about 31,000. Nigeria has close to 190,000 service personnel. Chad has less than 14 attack aircrafts & I think a single base at N'Djamena airport
5. While Nigeria has over 20 jets with a lots of combat helicopters scattered around different bases. 18 A-29 tucanos will be inducted 2020, don't forget we had ordered 12 Mi-35m attack choppers. For a country who isn't dragging borders with anyone, we are not entirely bad.
