US Lawmakers Stop $875m Military Equipment Sale To Nigeria Over Lekki Toll Gate Massacre, Human Rights Abuse The behind-the-scenes controversy over the proposed arms sale illustrates a broader debate among Washington policymakers over how to balance national security with human rights objectives. United States lawmakers are stalling a proposed sale of attack helicopters to Nigeria amid mounting concerns about the Nigerian government’s human rights record as its military grapples with multiple security crises at once, Foreign Policy magazine reports. http://saharareporters.com/2021/07/28/report-us-lawmakers-stop-875m-military-equipment-sale-nigeria-over-lekki-toll-gate Lalasticlala 1 Like |

After the US Tucano Jets have been delivered to Nigeria https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/nigeria-receives-first-six-light-attack-planes-united-states-2021-07-22/ Lately, seems it is only on SR will you read content today and read their apology tomorrow. The headline is false and misleading. The Lawmakers did not stop nada. The US government under Donald Trump already got the contract for the US government and the military hardwares are being delivered to Nigeria as agreed. Sowore obviously has an agenda for publishing this inaccurate news on his platform.

Giving a gun to a murderous society is tantamount to aiding and abetting killings of innocent civilians. Security that allows insurgents to run business and go for people protesting against indiscriminate killings from both govt hired law enforcement agents (police, army, DSS etc) and govt pampered Talking about killing the house owner for a thief. The govt is more focused on acquiring the lands of Nigerians for foreign Fulani. Until this govt is done in 2023, any country selling weapons to us is complicit in the act of human rights abuses. Evidently, the weapons bought are not used on terrorists. They rather use it on armless citizens while allowing the blood merchant businessmen to run their businesses of extortion, maiming, raping and illegal transfer of land ownership through violence and displacing real land owners to IDP camps. Their focus is more on those people speaking up to the power and challenging them from massacring indigenous Nigerians for migrants Fulanis. It takes another version of insurgents to kill bokoharam leader. There was even a northern leader asking govt to be involved in the conflict and protect bokoharam from ISWAP. I think that was Idamu Garbage Igboho and kanu are their headaches not bokoharam and bandits or militants Fulani herdsmen. 3 Likes |

There is nothing bad in their decisions, it is their right. Nigeria should negotiate with China for military hardware, it is more cheaper and they are very reliable. |

bobowaja: "Sen. Bob Menendez, the chairperson of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called for a “fundamental rethink of the framework of our overall engagement” with Nigeria during a Senate hearing with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in June. Both Menendez and Sen. Jim Risch, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, have placed a hold on the proposed arms sale, according to multiple U.S. officials and congressional aides familiar with the matter, who spoke to Foreign Policy on condition of anonymity." I completely agree with you that you are unteachable sir and you know more than me. Just by appeal, I need you to to read it again and point where you saw it as a new contract. The committee head met with Blinken in June and the Tuscano jets delivered to Nigeria in July. That's to tell you that the issue is no longer about fulfilling the contract obligation sir. Finally, no single lawmaker can unilaterally place a hold on arms sale between the two sovereign states , the lawmaker can recommend it to the committee which will then submit to US congress or Senate to pass as a resolution after debate of the recommendations but the report didn't even state so that US senate or congress, as an arm of US government, opposed it but SR obviously has the intention to mislead . The report didn't even state that the committees as a whole opposed it and legislative committees are different from the individuals while the committees are still different from the congress. |

FreeStuffsNG:you're wrong, the weapons blocked were listed on the news report and the Super Tucano aircrafts were not among, go back and reread the article. |
Re: US Lawmakers Stop $875m Military Equipment Sale To Nigeria Over Human Right Abus by FreeStuffsNG: 7:29pm On Jul 28, 2021 |
abouzaid:You are right, it was blocked and Tuscano alone was cleared by the lawmakers o ,smh. I have forgotten that SR is a gospel according to you sir. Have a good evening. |

As much as I'm genuinely angry about Gen Buhari indifference to these Fulani killer terrorist and killer animalistic bandits,I will never forgive any Nigerian that gives this administration any excuse of not being able to purchase ammunition because of human rights abuse,u have become part of the problem by indirectly scoring an own goal. If Gen Buhari needs to buy 2000 alpha jet helicopters,20000 cobra spitting helicopters equipped with a I million round spitting bullets I will genuinely curse any Nigerian that writes a letter to the United States talking about human Rights. What's human rights for endsars victims when thousands are being massacred daily by these crazy bandits,entire villages are being whipped out and someone is writing letter to US Congress to block the sale of weapons,and these same Nigerians will come online to condemn the government of Gen Buhari. Gen Buhari buy all the weapons of mass destruction you need to wipe out all these miscreants from the face of the Earth, I'm sure if you buy and don't use it,the next president will not have any excuse to destroy these bandits |

FreeStuffsNG:You are still dull. US has being selling weapons to Nigeria in tranches. Just like batch by batch since the beginning of fourth republic. They sell weapons to some countries yearly and each year, they review the sale. This news is all about selling another weapons to Nigeria which is being discuss and will probably be trashed cos of human rights abuses. Aboki, half education is disastrous. Go school Una no go gree. |
