So the Nigerian military tried to keep this from the public as a secerete.

Sirzorkay was right after all.

I don't know ?
From the little research I just did now, there are no records that shows that the Nigerian military was involved in the Angola war.
Are you sure about the bolded part of your statement

Covert1:


Actually there are so many secrets still not declassified. I doubt the Nigerian people would have gone along with it if made public. Governments often have to balance between domestic realities and foreign policy. All successive Nigerian presidents have been guilty of these secretive missions including the current one. But it's not common to Nigeria alone other foreign powers are guilty of same. This is why a lot of the intelligence and security votes are classified and not actually known. No one knows exactly what's done with all that money. I'm not even sure the president does.

RiceProducers:


OK. I was in secondary school during this Era. Nigeria was a true medium power. Africa was centerpiece of foreign policy. Murtala Muhammed / OBJ regime nationalized BP because the UK was supporting Apartheid South Africa.
The western world thro the CIA wanted to overthrow Neto and install Savimbi.
The entire OAU with Nigeria at the forefront supported Augustino Neto (MPLA).
Cuba sent troops to fight. At one point I think they reached 30,000 men.
Nigeria's NAF bold C130 flights were shuttling supplies to MPLA and landing at the dead of night with no runway lights on.

Why can't the NA even go for this attack helicopter platform

His it a good platform, guys what's your view on this

Covert1:


Good platform but too expensive, too few in number and no sustainable production line to aid maintenance. No the Mi-35M is way better.

The Nigerian Army needs something more in the mould of the AH-1Z. And they need it fast. That's the missing link in their COIN operations

GabrielYulaw:


The Mi-35M is not a dedicated attack helicopter though. The Mil Mi-28 might be more suitable, with our troop transport needs being handled by the Mil Mi 8 or 17.

GabrielYulaw:



I don't have your kind of confidence in the Nigerian people. We have the attention span of a housefly and if anything sensitive is released, most of us will have forgotten all about it in less than a week.

You have to believe it this Rooivalk attack helicopter is made in Africa, in South Africa. It actually meets the test just beset by South Africa's lack of political weight and costs.

It's high time Nigeria stop playing this yeye big brother to other African nations with our taxes, while we are not being appreciated by these African nations.
Let focus more on our own issues, because we have a lot at home.

I don't think Nigerian police/govt will handover one of their own to the fbi

GabrielYulaw:


Did you say Nigeria is a sovereign country with laws and a justice system? Biko today no be April fool's day.

I hope you know that the same Kyari you are talking about can see you walking in the street, dislike your hair cut and order his men to carry you off. And he can as well dispose of your assets as he sees fit and arrange a very early meeting between you and your ancestors, all without a crime being committed or your being charged with anything. Biko let's talk another thing today.

EricBraven:

Same way someone in new York would say they don't like your skin color and pick you up,frame you with a crime you never committed and get you lock in jail or better still shoot you during a traffick stop
