Opiosko: Bro seems like u are forgetting that Uncle Sam is funding these arm companies research?. It's an open secret in the intelligence community that the CIA and Us weapon companies are the ones fomenting crisis and arm conflict in the world today...So that they can test and sell weapons. Most wars involving America, is usually an opportunity for America to test and improve on it's weapons. 1 Like |

The unwillingness of USA & GB to support GEJ's administration in their quest to aquire millitary hardware should not surprise any one. Despite several documenmted cases of human rights abuses carried out by some elements within the Nigerian army, not a single person has been prosecuted nor any meaningful step taken to curb these abuses. USA & GB do not want their weapons to be used against defenseless civilians or to be used to perpetrate war crimes. On the other hand, Russia and China do not give a hoot about human rights abuses, they will sell their weapons to the highest bidder. Nonsense! 3 Likes |

milehigh06: why are people who basically do not know how a country runs so quick to tell you what they think is right or wrong..If in your deluded head you think the US govt can stop personal business men from doing business with Nigeria,then you really need your head checked..in our haste to bash the west,we simply refuse to look deeper into the 9.3million sham being carried out by your corrupt govt...If USA is ot willing to sell to Nigeria,why must Nieria now go to the black Market when they can go to Russia and China like they claim to be doing now?have you deluded conspiracy theorists thought that up? Sir, I certainly agree with you about the theft and money laundering fiasco currently facing our brain-dead president and his government. However, you are trying to conflate and confuse issues here. You need to separate sentiments from facts. Pointing out the facts about Western Imperial hegemony is not akin to hating the west, no sir, not at all. So don't be afraid to call a spade a spade. Yes, US can, and always stop American businesses from doing certain types of transactions with any country. In fact US does not even limit its powers to it's own citizens, but also influences the business transactions of Foreign multinationals as well. Case in point , US just recently fined PNB Paribas of France $6billion for doing business with a non-friendly country, even though PNB Paribas contravened no French or international law by so doing. The truth is that Nigeria, as the so-called giant of Africa, has to lead the continent in charting a new course that includes sidelining the anglosphere and making new alliances for long term mutual benefit. Haven't you noticed that while China, Russia and India, the new kids on the block economic block, are busy striking long term deals and mutually beneficial DEBT-FREE economic alliances in Africa, the US is busy building giving us military bases ( I assume for future contrived conflicts ) and the EU are busy trying to separate and strangle individual African countries with their free trade agreements? Do you know what a free trade agreement means? Do you know what a free trade between the EU (60+ countries) and 1 individual African country would mean for that one African country? Can you spot the gang-up? If EU wants a free trade agreement, then such a free trade agreement should be with the AU, all African countries in one agreement. The bottom line is that Africa's relationship with the anglosphere has never ever been a Win-Win situation. It has always been a win-loose situation. These are facts devoid of any sentiments. 3 Likes |

atlwireles: The boko haram supporters never stop amazing us. The same crowd crying for months about the army needing more arms, are asking us to applaud the actions of US and UK. The Nigerian army will buy the arms needed to kill all of you, boko haram foot soldiers. Even, if they have to carry $10B in cash to close the deal.I laugh at the unsuspecting nairalanders taking that moniker " aressa" serious..They must be new on the forum..as long as it is against the current government (not minding if it right or wrong) that 'see no good" being will applaud it...but that is none of my business. 2 Likes |

The arms are not going to be sold to Nigeria because of what the u.s sees as gross human rights violation. I'm pretty sure that after a massacre of about 200 people extra judicially, maybe 20 or less will be terrorists. But because the north is pretty much isolated and the people there do not even know what exactly they are getting killed for because those remote villages boko haram keep invading and massacring, which the army comes in to kill of who's left have no internet, we in the remaining part of the country can keep slyly turning a blind eye because it doesn't affect us. Until it moves to the remaining part of the country where smartphones are rampant and internet is everywhere is when you'll know the soldiers need more orientation than ammunition. Say the soldiers bomb a remote village and kill a couple of farmers on the farm, they just provided fresh recruit of sons who feel they I've been wronged. 1 Like |

The Western powers only sell weapons to the countries they dictate and control politically, and militarily. If you are not ready to play ball, you wont get anything. And the Nigerian military have always been reluctant to follow orders from foreign military advisers from time immemorial. So why are they just realizing that they wont get any security help from the US and Britain? The East on the other hand just want to do business as long as you are ready to pay for it. 5 Likes |

Yes Isis inquired of the Lord "shall we go up against Baghdad" and the Lord said "go up" and Isis said "How shall we go up when all we have are sticks and stones" "Fear not,behold I am the Lord of Hosts" Remember Sura 2.249 How many a little company hath overcome a mighty host by Allah's leave! Allah is with the steadfast. so they were comforted and it came to pass that Isis armed only with stones and sticks went up against the mighty Iraqi army and the Lord delivered Mosul into the hands of Isis and the Lord smote the Iraqis even though they were armed with the Latest American weapons and so all the American weapons fell into the hands of ISIS Thus ISIS came to possess Humvees and Armored trucks,anti-aircraft artillery and M79 rocket launchers for the Lord smote the Iraqis with a mighty smiting and all the surrounding countries were seized with a mighty fear 4 Likes |

plaetton: Anyone who is familiar with, or does a case study of military conflicts in Africa over the past 60 yrs or so would notice that the west, or various organs of the anglosphere, are usually the architects, facilitators and provocateurs of such conflicts.Good writeup.
