skullz: During operation serval by the french against malian insurgents, the Algerians initially denied the french a safe passage across their airspace to carry out bombing raids in mali.
The french had to plead and engage in diplomstic tussle before they were granted one.
Algeria had the balls to do this because they know their military is capable.

Had the Algeria depended solely on western hardwares, would they have a strong military?? I don't think so.

Respect is earned.

That is why I keep insisting that we develop indigeous weapons through our university/polytechnic students project work

I am still baffled by the comments from Nigerians and her government. At present the Nigerian Government has countless allies to buy from and willing sellers even in the illegal market. We don't need US high tech to beat BH. A moderate level weaponry can do the magic. Left for me if not that BH has continuously seized weapon,which they use to fight the same government army there is nothing sophisticated about the BH weaponry. Can we Do the Abacha things, Acquire weapons anywhere legal or illegal. Stop the begging and hoping that America will be our friend forever.
We have the Russia made helicopters that can do what the chinook can do. We have the Chinese,the south Africans,Koreans (north), the Iranians and lots more. We should put our interest First Jor. Anywhere the solution can be found lets go there!!! We are not the first to deal or trade with rogue countries!!!!! If they have it, lets buy it because of our urgent needs. China can give us everything we need to counter the BH problem. Even the drones! yes at cheaper rate.Some will say its substandard. Considering what we have and the last procurement from Israel,i will take my chances.
We continue to be ripped off by the so called west when we need armament. Its costly and they just put silly restrictions all around it. We are in Africa for God sake. People we fight here , simply use the typical small arms. All we need is some freaking planes and armored vehicles up there sending it back to them.I am tired of all this begging the west for help. We need to move on. They put it on the doors of human right violations and yet without providing the weaponry,the bad guys are continuously violating other peoples right at humongous proportion! which is better ?
Naija wake up and is time we even look inwards. Pull some profs and foreign Naija gurus. Get them cracking and patronize there inventions. Share the challenges with them and allow them time to develop or respond with solutions.We need to allow our system locally grow. Innoson,ANAMCO and PAN should be given specifications for amour vehicles. if they can meet the requirement they should be patronized.
Lets buy planes from Russia and China. Meanwhile i know we have plenty Air force jet allowed to rot on the runways?hangers. Mostly MIGs we should have more than 10 units. Get the Russians to come revive them and upgrade them. So we send them to combat while we sort out the procurement of there replacement.

The same US that would arm opposition forces to bring down legitimate governments, and the weapons well be used to commit atrocities later.

We have the resources to build up our economy.

Our graduates perform exceptionally well abroad. We need quality investments in education not giving or block building contracts at inflated prices.

Our problem all comes down to corruption.

Abi o. The hypocrisy of America is stinking and irritating. The same America is supplying weapons to Saudi Arabia where people have their hands and head cut off by the Wahabis year in year out.

80 billion dollars worth of arms to saudi arabia. A country where women don't drive and limbs are publicly chopped off.

Isnt Saudi Arabia the number one human rights abuser in the world?
yet America supplied them billions worth of weapons every year

Because if Saudi falls to the Islamic fundamentalists, or to Iran....fuel prices around the world could reach sky high proportions

Yet we have faculty of engineering in almost every University and polytechnic in this country. Even those block heads in NDA will call themselves army engineers. mediocre evil black race trying to buy weapons in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, You don't know what they know: Our government has shown signs of being capable of ethnic cleansing, the government is not sincere. People with Ebola character walk in and out of Aso-rock nowadays.

femmy2010: The Govt should stop fooling Nigerians jare.
If USA doesn't sell Weaponry and craft the Russians would gladly sell and even collect payment on delivery.
Instead they used a privately owned jet to move cash "supposedly" meant to procure arms from SA.
What happened to all our Military Aircraft that can be used for such a mission? What happened to our CBN moving the cash to SA for them?
Nigeria is indeed a theater of the absurd.
God Have Mercy.

What's wrong with u? Its obvious u did not read the report...

“We had even tried to procure arms from Russia but this was stalled because of the Ukrainian crisis, thus compelling us to turn to other nations like Israel. But even this has been frustrated by the US,” he said.

If they need any military gear, he should go to the manufacturers and stop the 3rd party illegal deal.

As usual typing nonsense. Stick to APC/PDP fight and stop embarrassing yourself trying to talk about black arm sales which you have no single idea about

let me refresh your memory.. this same america predicted Nigeria will divide by 2015.. 2015 is still on sight yet their foolish prediction looks unfeasible.. boko haram is their main weapon in dividing nigeria and they will do anything to make it possible.. so yes .. they also see boko haram as a bargaining tool against nigeria.. and meanwhile, nigeria is tending towards isreal and china.. not america..

Nigeria should resort to third party purchase then. Its called common sense.

They don't want you to purchase their products but you need. Link up someone who they will supply to and buy back from that person.
