so what do u expect....
the way some people here understand issues both national and international is very pathetic to say the least.
France have already hijacked the eco of a thing. there are numerous write up(s) on it and how so.
Do u seriously think France will let go of over 500billion just like that without a fight...what France did was to preempt Nigeria's moves using their stooge in Ivory Coast.
As for Ghana their they are non starter...they are just after anything that they know Nigeria is or will be against.. they lack the weight to set the terms in W/Africa sub region.

The funny thing is Nigeria will sign anything presented to it by Western countries (often highly unfavourable ones) without doing due diligence to ensure it will benefit the country but to sign an agreement presented by other African countries, which actually will benefit us and the continent as a collective, we want to do due diligence for years.


look i am not eurocentric neither am i afrocentric but purely naijacentric...what ever treaty we must sign must be first put into the contest of national interest..nd at the moment i don't think Nigeria is ready for that. not because we cant thrive in the said environment but the abuse that will follow the treaty by other African countries ESPECIALLY the francophone countries in connivance with the developed countries for peanuts (financially) and to some extend Ghana for the glory of achieving its long ambition of being a major power in W/AFR. in case that happen, what next start talking of Naijixt?

2. i don't see anything wrong in that acquisition since it intended to serve some specific purpose both in the north and in the south...

3. the price of a jet fighter which u are clamouring for is not always the issue but the total price when all the necessary support equipment are added. u can research how much other countries paid for the total package but mind u i am not against that..but shul be dealt with separately...

Politics / Let's End The Israeli Tie-that-binds A New Declaration Of Independence by alamarmeen: 12:05pm On Jan 02, 2018
Now that 2017 has ended with a whimper it is possible to look forward to what the new year might bring. Nuclear armed North Korea is the potential flash point for a new war, but unless leader Kim Jong-un is actually intent on personal and national suicide, it is unlikely that Pyongyang will take the steps necessary to escalate and trigger such an event. Far more dangerous is the Trump White House, which seems to confuse acting tough with acting smart. Every time Secretary of State Rex Tillerson mentions negotiating he is contradicted by Nikki Haley or the president saying that diplomacy has played out, but the reality is that the incineration of the Korean peninsula and the deaths of hundreds of thousands or even millions, which such a war would inevitably produce, might just be a bridge too far even for the generals and assorted psychopaths that appear to be running the show. Which means that at a certain point the diplomats, perhaps in an arrangement brokered by Russia or China, will have to take over. Let us hope so anyway. And the United States has also shot itself in the foot regarding Russia, an adversary with which Donald Trump once upon a time wanted to improve relations. But that was all before a politically driven Russiagate happened, turning Moscow into the enemy of choice once again, as it once was during the Cold War. In any event dealmaker Trump did not appreciate that you can’t improve relations when you threaten a vital interest of those you are wanting to improve relations with. The United States and its allies persist in running military exercises right on Russia’s borders under the false assumption that President Vladimir Putin heads an expansionist power. The recent decision to sell offensive weapons to Ukraine is a move that serves no American interest whatsoever while at the same time threatening Moscow’s vital interests since Ukraine sits right on its doorstep. It is a bad move that guarantees that relations with Russia will continue to be in the deep freeze for the foreseeable future. Note that all the major problems that America is experiencing versus the rest of the world are pretty much self-inflicted. In my view, looking beyond Russia and North Korea, America’s principal foreign policy problems continue to be centered on the Middle East and all originate in the deliberate instability generated by Israel, currently joined in an unholy alliance by its former enemy Saudi Arabia. The Tel Aviv (excuse me, Jerusalem) to Riyadh axis is current working hard to bring a new war to the Middle East as part of their plan to have the United States military destroy Iran as a major regional power. One might reasonably observe that the United States has no vital interest in what either Israel or Saudi Arabia does, but it does have some minor interests in the region, which include not allowing the area to become a breeding ground for transnational terrorist groups and safeguarding the movement of energy products so there will be no surge in prices that would hurt the energy dependent U.S. economy. That’s about it, and the interests neither include nor justify starting World War III. The problem with Israel is that it and its powerful billion-dollar domestic lobby have their hooks so deeply embedded in the American political system as well as in the national media that the Jewish state is virtually bullet-proof. Most recently, we have learned that Facebook has been deleting critical accounts at the request of the Israeli government. Meanwhile, that same government has been working hard to make any consideration of Palestine or the Palestinians disappear, recently successfully demanding that the National Basketball Association remove a website reference to Palestine, which Israel’s sports minister described as an “imaginary state.” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver apparently agreed. Even recent blockbuster revelations that Israel rather than Russia had been corrupting Team Trump produced a few Israelgate stories before disappearing completely down the memory hole. Israel has consistently been able to make whoever is in the White House dance to its tune without suffering any serious consequences. With Donald Trump, one might even argue that it has been able to so condition the president that he goes around looking for things to do to please Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel has not even yet asked for. The moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem is one such gift, something that pleases Israel so much that it is going to name a train station after the president, but which gives nothing but grief to the United States and to American citizens and businesses abroad. Of course, one might argue that Trump had help in coming to his decision. He is surrounded by Orthodox Jews as well as Christian Zionists like Mike Pence and Nikki Haley, all of whom appear to put Israel first, not exactly a good formula for “Making America Great Again.” The Jewish advisers also have financial and business ties to Israel, suggesting that Robert Mueller might look towards the Middle East if he actually wants to find foreign government interference in U.S. politics. To cite only one recent example of how the constant pressure to please Israel and minimize its transgressions works in practice, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman apparently got into a pissing match with the State Department over its policy to refer to the Palestinian land that Israel has illegally stolen and settled as “occupied.” Friedman, a passionate supporter of the fanatical settlers who have done much of the occupying, would prefer a different adjective, possibly “improved” or “returned-to-original-owners.” And Friedman might well be regarded as little more than a Zionist crank by comparison with Michael Makovsky, who heads the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). Makovsky is much exercised over Iran’s alleged ambitions and wants to counter them by redrawing most of the borders in the Middle East. He intones “Maintaining Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen in their existing forms is unnatural and serves Iran’s interests.” Makovsky would like to break all those countries up into their component tribal, ethnic and religious parts, starting with separating the Kurdish region from Iraq and breaking Syria into three separate states. He does not mention that he is not original in this thinking as it reflects the Israeli Yinon Plan of the 1980s and the American neocon “Clean Break” proposal that was written by geniuses like Richard Perle, Doug Feith and David Wurmser and presented to Netanyahu in 1996. Makovsky also does not mention that if there is a country in the Middle East that has artificial borders and strong sectarian divisions in the area that it rules over it is Israel, but, of course use of the word “border” would be somewhat inaccurate as an expansionistic Israel has no declared borders at all. And the media is fully complicit in playing Israel’s tune. A recent attempt to link Hezbollah to drug trafficking into the U.S., implicating by proxy Iran, would appear to be a completely fabricated story. I can go on and on about why America on moral grounds should not be supporting an apartheid regime loaded with racist thugs racist thugs from top to bottom, headed by a completely cynical regime that sends its “soldiers” into Palestinian areas to shoot people without legs and children, but it would only inflame the hasbarists that seem to gather like vultures anytime anyone writes or says anything negative about the “only democracy in the Middle East” and “America’s greatest and best ally.” When all else fails, the Israel-firsters resort to name calling. On Sunday, the Washington Post featured a full- page ad condemning New Zealand pop singer Lorde, whose crime was that she had decided to cancel a performance in Israel on political grounds. The ad, placed by “America’s Rabbi” Shmuley Boteach, absurdly called Lorde a bigot and “Jew-hater” while ludicrously linking her to the killing of civilians in Syria by virtue of the fact that she is willing to perform in Russia. Indeed, anyone who objects to Israel’s policies or to the strenuous efforts made by Jewish individuals or groups to promote the same is automatically dubbed “an anti-Semite.” Ditto for Americans who object to taxpayer money being used to put up and support the heavily politicized holocaust museums that seem to be popping up like mushrooms all across America. Those who protest are labeled “holocaust deniers.” For those American Jews and Christian Zios who persist in their deep affection for Israel and choose to look the other way even as it tortures, kills, removes human organs and steals, I seriously ask for examples of Israel actually doing anything good for the United States and for the American people. What benefit does it provide in return for its constant interference in the U.S. political system and economy that nets it the many billions of dollars handed to it by the U.S. Treasury, billions more allowed as “charitable contributions,” and still billions more given in the form of coproduction projects and trade concessions? What is the return for Washington trashing its own good name by protecting Israel in international fora like the United Nations, as has been occurring in spades since Nikki Haley appeared on the scene? When has Israel ever apologized or made amends for its virtually incessant spying on the U.S. and its thefts of American technology? And what about the attack on the USS Liberty fifty years ago which killed 34 Americans? The dwindling number of crew members are still waiting for an official inquiry that would make clear what Israel did on that day in June. And finally, what would be the net gain for the U.S. if it gets prodded into a war with Iran in which it could quite plausibly lose an aircraft carrier or two while making traveling Americans prime targets for a new wave of terror attacks? The sad part is that it might be too late already. The Israeli media is reporting that the Trump and Netanyahu have signed a secret agreement to actively target and go after Iran over its alleged military programs. A war in which Americans will fight and die, not Israelis, is certainly being planned behind the scenes. What I am arguing is that unlike the situations with Russia and North Korea, where the United States has gotten itself maneuvered into a corner where there are actual interests at stake, there is absolutely no national interest that compels Washington to do anything for Israel. The U.S. should pull the plug on the phony “special relationship” with Netanyahu and his nest of vipers. Let’s make a New Year’s resolution to work hard to accomplish just that. Let’s boycott businesses and sport franchises whose owners are particularly fond of Israel’s settlements to send the message that there are consequences. Let’s talk about Israel, to be sure, but without the self-imposed censorship in the media and not through the mouths of the numerous gatekeepers that head so-called peace organizations, nor through the bought and paid congress-critters. Nor from the White House, which is rapidly becoming little more than a reliable echo chamber for Israeli interests. Let’s tell it like it is. If Americans are exposed to the hard truths about Israel it is hard to imagine that they will want to associate with it in any capacity. Cut the tie that binds and do it now. Philip M.

Foreign Affairs / US Recognition Of Jerusalem As Israeli Capital Desecrates 70-year Policy by alamarmeen: 2:58pm On Dec 23, 2017
WAYNE MADSEN | 21.12.2017 | WORLD /
The decision by Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel not only violates several United Nations Security Council resolutions, but also desecrates 70 years of American policy in the Middle East. Trump’s decision, while pleasing to dubiously “Christian” fundamentalist sects and cults found mostly in poorly-educated rural pockets across the United States, flies in the face of authentic Christian denominations. These include Roman Catholic, Christian Orthodox, and mainstream Protestant churches. Trump’s unwise diplomatic move was also in response to large political donations to his 2016 presidential campaign by deep- pocketed ultra-Zionists like casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, a backer of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Trump’s decision to reject any Palestinian claims over East Jerusalem as the capital of an independent Palestine has also exacerbated tensions in the Muslim world at the expense of US geopolitical and economic interests. US Secretaries of State since George C. Marshall, including Dean Acheson, John Foster Dulles, Dean Rusk, William Rogers, Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, Ed Muskie, Alexander Haig, George Schultz, James Baker, Warren Christopher, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry, have opposed American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Although current Secretary of State Rex Tillerson publicly complied with Trump’s decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, it is known that Tillerson no longer speaks on behalf of Trump’s White House in matters of foreign policy. It is inconceivable that Tillerson, the former chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil, a firm with major investments in Arab and Muslim countries, agreed with Trump’s decision on Jerusalem. Rather, Trump was guided in his decision by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, Trump’s “special envoy” to the Middle East and a pro-Netanyahu Orthodox Jew. Complementing Kushner in pressuring Trump on Jerusalem were two other Israeli “agents- of-influence” inside the Trump administration, Jason Dov Greenblatt, a lawyer for the Trump Organization and a current Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations, and David Friedman, one of Trump’s former bankruptcy lawyers and the current US ambassador to Israel. Greenblatt and Friedman, like Kushner, are rabid Zionists who support illegal Israeli settlements on the West Bank and east Jerusalem and wholeheartedly back Netanyahu. In the past, even the most pro-Israeli members of Congress pushed only for non- binding resolutions affirming Congress’s wish to see the US recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move its embassy to the contested city from Tel Aviv. This was done to please the Israel Lobby in the United States, most notably, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the more powerful Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. Given the choice between upsetting US diplomacy in the Middle East and guaranteeing a steady flow of campaign cash from wealthy Jewish political donors, Congress took the middle course between non-binding resolutions on Jerusalem and outright interfering in the Middle East initiatives of presidents from Harry S Truman to Barack Obama. Trump’s Jerusalem diktat has already frayed US relations with countries having religious stakes in Jerusalem, interests that are constantly threatened by increasing Jewish aggressive behavior toward Christian and Muslim institutions in Jerusalem, its suburbs, and throughout the West Bank. America’s relations with the Vatican, the Coptic Pontificate, the Greek and Russian Orthodox and Assyrian patriarchies, and the World Council of Churches have hit an all-time low. Trump believes that Christianity is only represented by hucksters wearing expensive suits who preach “prosperity theology” and smack members of their congregations with their hands to cure everything from smoking habits to leukemia. These purveyors of religious nonsense believe that when Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the “end times” are near. Israeli intransigence on Jerusalem was the key hurdle described in a formerly Secret Central Intelligence Agency report dated January 15, 1971, and titled, “Jerusalem: An Issue Without Prospects.” The CIA pointed out that the Israelis were undertaking several actions in east Jerusalem, which Israel occupied during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, to make Israeli control “irreversible.” The CIA pointed out that UN mediator Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden recommended in 1948 that Jerusalem be incorporated into Arab territory with “municipal rights for the Jewish community and special arrangements for the protection of the holy places.” Bernadotte’s proposal was met with his assassination by Jewish terrorists, individuals who are today praised as heroes by the Israeli government. The UN also sought to neutralize Jerusalem and govern it as an international city. This, too, was rejected by Israel and powerful Jewish lobbies in New York, London, Canberra, and elsewhere. Israel’s intention has always been to incorporate all of Jerusalem into the Israeli state without guarantees for Christian and Muslim holy places or the worshipers of both religions. In 1950, Israel proclaimed the “New City” of Jerusalem its capital. Most countries, including the United States, refused to recognize the Israeli proclamation. After seizing east Jerusalem in the 1967 war, Israel’s first act was to dissolve the Arab City Council of Jerusalem. This was the first major act toward the Judaification of the entire city. A July 1969 UN Security Council resolution condemned Israeli confiscation and demolition of properties near the Dome of the Rock. The United States voted for the resolution. Ever since, Israel has flouted UN resolution after resolution by confiscating additional Arab land and demolishing Arab structures. In 1970, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir declared that Israel would never cede control over unified Jerusalem. Israel forced the Arab population of east Jerusalem to pay taxes even though Jewish “lebensraum” policies did not recognize the Arab population of Jerusalem as Israeli citizens. This “taxation without representation” has contributed to the establishment of a de facto apartheid state in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Arab businessmen in east Jerusalem were faced with a choice: pay Israeli taxes or lose Israeli business licenses and be shut down. Taxation coercion by the Jewish state became the rule in east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, perhaps the only Saudi king who never agreed to consort with the Israelis or their international Zionist backers, proclaimed that in addition to being the “guardian” of the Islamic holy paces of Mecca and Medina, he was also the guardian of Islamic holy places in Jerusalem. In 1975, Faisal was assassinated by his nephew, Faisal bin Musaid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, during a royal audience in Riyadh. It was later discovered that the assassin had been selling and using LSD while attending the University of Colorado, maintained a relationship with a pro-Israeli girlfriend, and made an unusual visit to East Germany before returning to Saudi Arabia to assassinate King Faisal. There were suspicions that either the CIA or Mossad employed mind-control techniques on Faisal bin Musaid to program him to assassinate King Faisal. It was clear that two opponents of Israeli control of Jerusalem – Count Bernadotte and King Faisal – were assassinated and Israel was implicated in both murders. The Trump administration, in recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over all of Jerusalem, has rewarded past Israeli war crimes, including confiscation of land, forced removal of populations, and even assassinations of foreign officials. However, nothing else should be expected from an administration that continuously tramples on US constitutional and international law on a daily basis.

I think you are misunderstanding me, the Congress suspended the arms deal because the NAF bombed Rann due to a mapping error killing 100+ while the Americans bombed several civilians as their intelligence showed that there was terrorists in that area. With proper maps the NAF should have known that Rann was there.

ok..i didn't want to go deep but i will go a little bit deeper cos i at least appreciate ur civility so far which is usually uncommon here here
a. an error will always be an error either on intelligent report or on map...
b.. the bombing of a mosque compound full of civilians some months ago by coalition forces led by america was said to b based on wrong intelligence report after initially denial by u.s
c..Saudi of recent was said to be responsible for the bombing of refugee boat on the Mediterranean yet the congress is yet to even acknowledge that..pls note..u.s are the technical advisers on that war..

Obama didn't hurt US-Nigeria relations. The reason the Congress suspended the arms deal was to wait for the conclusion of the Nigerian investigation into the bombing of a refugee camp.

are u ignorant of the accidental bombardment of civilian population by american jets just few days ago in Afghanistan. it wash widely reported and criticized that even pentagon acknowledged..

Politics / Russia Reportedly Delivering Su-30 Fighters To Nigeria by alamarmeen: 2:41pm On Jun 29, 2017
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) reportedly has 12 Sukhoi Su-30 multi-role fighters on order from Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
Speaking to Sputnik News , the Deputy Director for the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) Anatoliy Punchuk said, “In 2018, Russia will supply 10 Su-30 aircraft. Thus, the contract will be completed by the end of next year.”
As per Sputnik News, two of the Su-30s were delivered to Nigeria in 2017. The variant was not disclosed.
Notes & Comments:
Nigeria’s federal budget for 2016 – i.e. the Appropriation Act for 2016 – allocated $15.88 million U.S. for the
purchase of three JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighters from Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC). It is unclear if Nigeria inked this contract with PAC. The
proposed 2017 budget earmarked $68.76 million for “platform acquisitions … for counter air, counter surface, air ops for strategic effect and air support operations.”
In light of the recent news about the Su-30, the NAF acquisition budget appears to involve several combat platform purchases – i.e. JF-17, Su-30,
Mi-35M and potentially A-29 Super Tucano .
With the Su-30 and JF-17, the NAF would maintain a ‘high-and-low’ composition, respectively. The Su-30 would likely be counted upon to provide the ‘strategic effect’ aspect of the NAF’s requirements, such as long-range strikes and maritime operations. The JF-17 would fulfill air defence and attack operations in-land over Nigeria’s territories and border areas.

most comments here shows how pathetic people are...i thought the first line of thing to do before commenting is to know the man's position before election...this man never nd i said never supported buhari's bid for presidency right from even 2011...infact it is a family thing...from father to son...it even get to a point 2015 when he wanted to use his position to influence people...he was clearly warn by his followers to stay clear of politics as it is all abt choice nd personal conviction..these are public nd not hidden...i mean just anybody in kaduna..
men honestly nairaland is becoming boring
