Nigeria has been ranked 36th in the Global Firepower’s 2023 Military Strength Ranking.
The ranking also considers factors including the amount of military equipment and troops each country has, as well as their financial standing, geography, and available resources, information which may be imperfect.
Notably, the ranking only evaluates militaries from a conventional standpoint, overlooking a country’s capacity for nuclear strike.
The top four countries are United States, Russia, China and India.
