You have not answered my question yet. Why do you think the USA refused to sell weapons? We wanted to buy from South Africa secretly, same USA exposed the deal and the weapons and money were seized thanks to USA. Then the same USA started the bringbackourgirls campaign championed by Micheal Obama. Kindly connect the dots sir

Procashtips:


The US didn't sell weapons to Nigeria under Buhari, Nigeria bought elsewhere including Russia.

The US can't sell weapons to be used against entities protecting their interests.

Jonathan engaged the services of a company called STTEP. The company was founded by one South African guy, Eeben Barlow, and he performed excellently. He even converted the 72 Airborne battalion based in Makurdi, Benue, into the 72nd Mobile Strike Force.

He got them beryl rifles from Poland and Reva MRAPs from South Africa. The unit was the most modernized and mechanized in the Nigerian Army during that period, and it performed excellently well.

They did long-range patrol and combat. Think of it like a special forces/elite military unit that goes deep into Boko territory, defeats Boko, and then withdraws.

Boko Haram respected the unit a lot and there were rumors that Boko commanders ordered their men to avoid them. And it was even mentioned that Boko used to withdraw from combat once the 72nd Mobile Strike Force showed up, because they just couldn't face them. They were fucking dangerous.

Would you believe that the US openly fought Jonathan over STTEP and was among the reasons they sanctioned him. There was even lots of noise in our media here about Jonathan “using mercenaries” in Borno back then. That money you talked about was part of a secret programs to buy weapons from South Africa and bring them to Nigeria.

We didn't know at the time but it was the US that exposed them. And Jonathan could not openly admit to it because he knew they would sanction him more.

The US sanctioned STTEP too, and when Buhari came in, one of the first things he did was to cancel the contract. The 72 Mobile Strike Force later disbanded.

Funny enough, about two/three years later, Army headquarters tried creating other “mobile strike” units to replace it, but it did not work. So, they canceled those ones too.

And how does this justify the USA after refusing to sell weapons to us and then stabbed us in the back with the bringbackourgirls campaign?

🎞 Hezbullah's military media releases a video titled "You will not have any tanks left"

It is a reference to what SG Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in his last speech, a quote which was also featured in the video:

If your tanks come to Lebanon, and to South Lebanon, you will not suffer from a shortage of tanks, because you will not have any tanks left.

The video then highlights numerous instances where Israeli tanks were targeted by the resistance group.

Currently tell me what the civilian government have done that the military didn't do?

Our civilian government is even worse than military regime. Looting, abuse of power, abuse of human rights, corruption and more corruption without doing anything for the people. In as much as the military regime is not what we want but bro civilian rule in Nigeria has been worse that military rule. The military built most of not all the federal roads and some roads have remained like that to now. Make we dey talk truth abeg.

Allthelight:


The U.S of A will send tanks lots of them so they should not worry about it.

Vic2023:
how many tank does US have? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not up to a year hamas has destroyed almost all Israeli tanks
How many month do think it will cost Hezbollah to destroy 4k thanks 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Allthelight:

This should be there problem because there are enough tanks for everybody

erniok:

It's your responsibility to bring back your girls and they only lent a voice like some are doing in both Gaza and Ukraine case even if they can't send troops and in Gaza case arms.

In arms deal, GEJ bungled it up like SA deal. There are diplomatic channels to use and give assurance that it won't be used on your citizens. If need be, you pay a personal visit on this issue. Indira Gandhi did same for india so also did so in the past when india was having issues with Pakistan. Most people viewed GEJ as a weak and indecisive leader and it affected his performance in the election.

This shows you know so little about what happened during the military. What happened to the gulf war oil windfall during IBB? It is being said mike adenuga became rich as a civilian IBB boy and so were his army cronies. Read up orka coup speech and tell me if he did not accuse IBB regime of unabated corruption. Was a governor not accused of being stupendously rich because he helped Abacha launder our collective wealth. In the military, once order is given, it is obeyed(OBC). They can steal everything and order the CBN gov to reveal nothing.

Dunno why you keep looking for a military rule. Strengthen you weak institutions through constitution amendment if need be. US has amended their's 27 times to tweak it to suit them and everyday, we keep crying how weak the 1999 constitution is, have constitution reviews that we won't implement. The military coming wont guarantee the economic prosperity you are looking forward to.

nigeriansamurai:

My question is why is a military regime looking like the only solution to our failed democracy, while in truth they are other ways?
A military junta is not an evil thing, it is a system of government that may work in other Nations, but would lead to dire consequences in Nigeria (I explained why I think so in my previous comment).

The truth is a very few insignificant number of uneducated people in Nigeria actually want a military take over, you can take your time and make a survey. A military government would not be favourable to the average ijaw man, the Igbo man, or even the average Yoruba man Nobody wants it.
what you need to understand is that Nigeria is in a state of crisis and in such a situation even a deal with the devil would sound very hopeful

🇮🇱🤝🇷🇸 — Israeli Ambassador to Serbia has stated that Israel does not recognize Srebrenica as a genocide:

"Srebrenica should not be called genocide. Israel has never accepted that the crime in Srebrenica be called genocide. When you call Srebrenica genocide, in my opinion, it diminishes the importance of that term."
