The money involved is not as bad as the aftereffects of the arms in Nigeria. The army that mistakenly drops bomb on innocent people are to handle the arms. Arms that will be used against innocent people in the name of python dance and Lekki shooting order while kidnappers and Boko boys keep collecting ransom. No money to feed the poor or create jobs but purchase of arms is prioritized. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Don't give our soldiers arms to kill hungry civilians. Tinubu, what drives insecurity in Nigeria is purely bad leadership. Use that $1 billion for buying military hardware to create jobs in Nigeria. 45 Likes 4 Shares |

abhosts:[color=#006600][/color] Everything boils down to political will to give command to the security forces to carry out their work without influences from cabals. If you like have nuclear weapons, if there is no sincere order for the security forces to work, forget about it. 5 Likes |

We should be buying more advanced drones, not helicopters. Drones are cheaper to maintain and it saves lives in case of a crash or attack since there are no pilots. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Thank you President Biden. USA doesn’t have qualms selling us weapons, our armed forces just have to display proper human right procedures, which is to the citizen’s benefit. We shouldn’t just be buying weapons but what President Tinubu should do is allow US military to partner and train our armed forces in various locations across the country. |

SoNature: What is Job without security ? as far as I know security is number one or how can you work without good security? This security challenges is crippling many businesses and sectors and it is contributing to Nigeria unemployment rate in fact we can not attract decent foreign investment if there is no adequate security. 2 Likes |

system21: yeah Nigeria military should destroy all sophisticated military gadgets and weapons, they should fight in military camo and boxing gloves instead of Ak47 to prevent terrorists from getting their equipment according to your logic. Even Taliban got their hands on American forces weapons and equipment as sophisticated as US military is, do you know the worth of sophisticated weapons USA left in Afghanistan when they left? It is war and anything can happen in war, enemies will get their hands on your weapons you don't stop equipping better weapons because of that. All you guys do is hide under your bed, wail and make stupid analysis, if you are so capable why don't you go and join the front line ? You guys can only deceive yourselves, you are just afraid Nigerian military would be better equipped to deal with ESN, IPOB and other terrorists in the East. 3 Likes |
