Have you ever seen this article and what do you expect from Banks across the world when they get instruction from US to scuttle a deal or work against US foreign policy?

persius555: US interest in nigeria is something only the US can explain, but certainly it is now obvious that the obama govt does not mean well for our dear country. It predicted the disintegration of the country recently, i believe they are seriously working towards the actualisation. One thing they quickly forget is that we are nigerians, we mighthave challenges with widespread corruption, widespread poverty and all but we can create oaisis from deserts At least, now we know we really need to look deeply inwards as there are really no international friends out there, just friends with interest. Years of overdepence on every thing foreign has finally brought us down on our knees.
and we should continue hoping that our dear country gets better without seeing results when it is obvious that every tribe is paranoid of the other...I love Nigeria but its obvious that its not working, we fake the love but we really don't love each other...

I guess the problem is...why are we not manufacturing our helicopters...like India and even China?

Because we prefer to use our oil money to import...

There is a verse in the Bible which I will quote here....

1 Samuel 13 vs 19-20


[size=15pt]19Now no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears." 20So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his hoe.…[/size]

Now from time immemorial, Nigeria has been dependent on foreign powers to buy weapons. And when there is problem with the foreign powers we turn to others...or feel helpless.

Nigeria must industrialize. It is essential for our salvation from foreign Philistines.

The reason why they can't starts with one word....Ajaokuta.

Another phrase...Nigerians think that technicians are dull people....and that a university degree is the be all that ends all.

That's why.

If he want a US made Helicopter, go to the manufacturers and not a backyard deal with a third party. Also the government should come clean with their transactions to give confidence to other partners, not using a jet of a pastor to move cash.
You are now sounding childish, did you see the part where it said that the US refused to sell them hardwares or you just decided to ignor it to score cheap points?

What's wrong with u? Its obvious u did not read the report...

“We had even tried to procure arms from Russia but this was stalled because of the Ukrainian crisis, thus compelling us to turn to other nations like Israel. But even this has been frustrated by the US,” he said.

So you truly think the Russians would halt buying and selling cos of the Ukrainian crisis??You must be kidding me if you believe that.
You certainly think you just justified our nation's disgraceful act of not using a Military craft to ferry their million dollars to SA and not notifying the SA authority of their intention.
What makes them different from Henry Okah if a whole GOVT is thinking of buying arms in the black market?

you don't seem to understand. the manufacturers of military aircrafts such as Boeing still need clearance from the government before they can sell such to other countries. in the Nigerian scenario, we've made requests to the manufacturers and they forwarded same to their countries of domicile, the US in this case, and the US said they shouldn't sell to us. that's the reason Nigerian government tried to do buy weapons from the black market in south Africa before they got busted

This is what i've been hammering on. One day, Nigerians will go mad due to the twisted nature of information that fly around. I just heard a pastor of CAN hyperventilating and analysing a conspiracy by the northern muslims to subjugate the christians hence, the rise of bokoharam. This notion is emotionally held by many xtians. Also, I've read other analysis pointing Bh to the southerners sponsoring chaos in the north in order to take revenge for biafra and in some other climes, destroy the north and make it easy for GEJ to continue ruling. Now it is America. America that knows and does everything. They are now those behind bh in a bid to balkanize the country. Theories upon theories. But i hope this story is not an excuse to further justify the botched arms deal. Because we all know that jet from Israel or not, there are countries that'll be willing to sell. Eg Russia etc. And by the way, recently, with the army's 'supposed' inability to buy weapons, they dealth with bokoharam. This tells us that the gov't is up to something fishy. Think Nigerians, think.

if we are expecting the americans or the europeans to sell to us weapons of up to 20% there own standard, then you are the biggest joker living seriously in a fantasy dream. if by now we don't know that the number 1 enemy to americans and europeans is Africa, seriously brothers and sisters, our fantasy dream had gone into the deeper stages of dreams. The No 1 and only enemy to europeans and european americans and to white arabs is AFRICA. they will never help us yet they can't survive without us. where are all those brothers and sisters that always get all A1(s) in class and the ones with the best grades in the universities? can't they build something?

What about Russia? Abi Russia don't have the weapons we need?

When they are ready to end BH, they know the right thing to do.

Sometimes we don't see things as they see I mean those in the frontline. What if they go to Russia after been frustrated by America and in turn Russia sees it and as avenue to help in return of something worst

femmy2010: The Govt should stop fooling Nigerians jare.
If USA doesn't sell Weaponry and craft the Russians would gladly sell and even collect payment on delivery.
Instead they used a privately owned jet to move cash "supposedly" meant to procure arms from SA.
What happened to all our Military Aircraft that can be used for such a mission? What happened to our CBN moving the cash to SA for them?
Nigeria is indeed a theater of the absurd.
God Have Mercy.
Nobody is fooling anybody, they need weapons to fight BH and US is frustrating the legal acquisition of it, because of human right abuse. Is US innocent of human right abuse in war-torn countries like Libya, Afganistan e.tc.? He that come to equity, must come with clean hands. US is not the standard of the world, and she must stop terrorizing the world.
