Well, that's the end of our Super Tucano daydream. According to the US we are the world's worst human abusers. Worse than both the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Colombia, Angola...... Pretty much worse than the devil.


Italy, China and Russia have always been our best bet, while we continue to strive on how to build a military industrial complex.

Henry240:


I prefer to look at the bright side of life instead of dwelling on all that is mundane. There is so much Nigerians and South-Africans can learn from each other, i for one would like to see South-African defence companies investing in Nigeria, building MRAPs and Armoured vehicles for the Nigerian military and other militaries in the West and Central Africa region from a Nigerian production line.


These are the sort of things i want to dwell on, however we need to also take into account our individual Nationalistic sensibilities and respect that.


I mentioned Patches because he acts like Augustine(not the extreme, extreme), and i like to poke fun at that "bastard", Lmao!

While we look inwards and east for the things we can't get from the west.

Henry240:


It's about knowing what we want. The US, Britain & France still remain some of our largest trading partner, we are well aware of stuffs we can't get from them, why bother going for those things.


We should go for the things we can get. While we look inwards and east for the things we can't get from the west.

we will never realize that. Nigeria will continue to look on the west as a long standing ally not just for Military and security reasons but basically for economic reasons. Take it or leave it it is cheaper and easier for Nigeria to buy from the west than from the east, such an exchange could be done leveraging on the transfer of a specified amount of natural resource or granting of concession in the oil industry we may end up not paying in cash for things we buy from the west or not even paying at all. But for the east it is a different story. Russia has it own oil, and other natural resources. Some will say didn't we buy weapons from them during the civil war? Well during the civil we Russia was in a search of cold war relevance in Nigeria that was why she intervened. Nigeria paid for arms procured from Russia using Cocoa, Peanuts, Palm nuts, rubber and other raw materials which Russia (already self sufficient on this products) would then ship to other European countries and sell. After the war there was a new chance for Nigerian eastern relations but it never happened, simply because Nigeria and Russia could not find any bases for bilateral trade. Nigeria was not a serious weapon importing nation so Arms could not be the basis, they tried tech transfer and built a steel complex the Russians saw that Nigeria was also not yet ready for some kind of technology due to her overdependence on the west. Several high level bilateral trade delegations were exchanged between Nigeria and Russia to find a bases for trade but in the end Nigeria ended up in the lap of the west. The Russians later realised that Nigerians preferred luxury to longterm success hence the plan by Russia to transfer automobile manufacturing tech to Nigeria failed because Nigerians preferred to drive the luxurious European cars instead of those from newly developing industries. In conclusion Russian-Nigerian relations have always been a sad story.
