Nice move...glaring commitment by the government

commitment isn't arms buying or are the arms going to shoot all by themselves , Boost the troops morale and see victory with your eyes open

I just hope it won't find is way to boko haram

From the the projectile and trajectory specs there is no diff between this rifle and the AK 47 ..If they couldn't win battles with the AK 47 there is no way this would make a difference

Jonathan's transformation Agenda is revitalising the 'once dead' Nigerian Army.






But I don't want to wake up tomorrow to hear that these weapons are now in the possession of bokoharam. #kill all saboteurs

First export contract, and it just happens to be to Nigeria? One Pot bellied General in Abuja is building a mansion this December from the bribe these poles offered him.

To fight insurgents or for 2015 elections ?

Where are all those #Team the Army are not well equipped.
And #Team the $1billion meant to fight bokoharam are for GEJ's re-election.
The army now has no excuses.






BTW, if GEJ Finish bokoharam now, what's GMB coming to do again?

The production and mechanical engineering departments in our numerous tertiary institutions can be tasked to make weapons.

Thumbs Up
