Lol! See the security

They have left there bandit ridden insecure states and ran to another man’s country to discuss it and someone dares to tell me I’m the “nuisance”. Time don reach to start exposing your identities on Nairaland so when the time of justice comes nobody will cry foul. Does this look to you now like people serious for their country. One reason they all jump on a wasteful flight is estacodes. What a useless generation. Instead of pointing out the madness as a form of legitimate resistance they acquiesce to the abuse.

Arrant nonsense.

Maybe after their discussion they will solicit for more arms and ammunitions from US government. Misplaced priority

Covert1:


That is eh

US that has not solved its multi-dimensional problems from insecurity domestic and foreign to destructive national debt to political wranglings.

And they will tell us they have a National Security Adviser Who even approved such jamboree. The first law of security is that it is local but these f.ools year in year out look for every avenue to loot. That is their priority. Bunch of evil men.

These legacy party PDAPC politicians are a curse on Nigeria. Why people tolerate such abuse beats me. Only witchcraft is why. These are de.mons in power. No empathy. No mercy. No joy.

And the circus continues. I pity the hapless poor people of Nigeria. Harrowing times.

Today is Wednesday 24th April 2024

I come in peace and with receipts.

Bola Tinubu has auctioned off OPL 245 one of Nigeria’s largest offshore oil field [no other Nigerian president dared to touch] in a deal benefiting his own cousin not the Nigerian people.

Tinubu has asked for Nigeria’s gold reserves in US vaults [no other Nigerian president dared to touch] to be returned [Your guess is as good as mine].

Tinubu is borrowing billions of dollars left right and centre with nothing to show for what is borrowed in just 9 months of his sojourn in Aso Rock.

Note: “On your mandate we shall stand”!

Can anyone verify this... This is sad
After Ohkuama incident you would expect there be little more change in threat assesment...

[/b]There rumours that the United States are lobbying for an Air-force base in Nigeria and it seems some politicians and Nigerians are kicking against it.
The letter stated that the US and France are lobbying Nigeria and other Gulf of Guinea nations for defence agreements to station troops previously in Mali, Burkina Faso, and the Niger Republic. The northern leaders are worried that Nigeria might agree to this defence pact and jeopardise its defence and security.

A lot is happening with Nigerian neighbours and within West African geopolitical zones, Shift in power from the West to the far N.E Europe Russia[b]

Doesn't sound true to me. I don't think Pentagon is really interested in a new base in Nigeria or any West African country at all. The benefits are not much and you can be told to GTFO anytime. Chad also wants to remove US troops for absolutely no reason. This military base thing is no longer attractive for several reasons.

Maybe the US wants to reposition troops deployed in the Sahel temporarily in Nigeria for onward transfer. Or are asking for permit to carry out surveillance flights.

The country US is really interested in having military partnerships with is Morocco.

[/b]Insecurity: Nigerian military takes delivery of new fighting platforms[b]

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, on Wednesday, took delivery of 20 sets of improved versions of Armoured Personnel Carrier (APCs) to boost the ongoing fight against insecurity.

This is contained in a statement by the Acting Director Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Tukur Gusau, on Wednesday in Abuja.

Gusau said the delivery was done in a brief ceremony by the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Defence, Dr Ibrahim Kana, on behalf of the Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru in Abuja.

He said the APCs were improved version with improved weapons and communication systems that could locate adversaries from distance and engage them effectively.

According to him, they also allow for seamless military operations, and the APCs were produced and supplied by an indigenous company based in Nigeria.

The Permanent Secretary described the consideration for contracting local manufacturers to produce the new APCs as a welcomed development.

He added that it would save the nation a lot of money, create employment and reduce over reliance on foreign currency.

In his response, the CDS thanked the Minister of Defence and pledged to put the carriers to optimum and judicious use.

He added that the machines would definitely boost the ongoing operations to rid the country of insecurity.

The US government establishing military bases abroad/overseas; enables her to project power and social political affluence e.g. to conduct expeditionary warfare and thereby influencing events abroad.
Depending on their size and infrastructure, they can be used as staging areas or for logistical, communications and intelligence support.
The US government loves intervening, dominating and influencing countries political will, forget about the benefits they love wasting tax payers money alot.
