lol. The ambassador is trying to play hide and seek. Reading through his words,you could detect the truth in the FG side of the story. Unfortunately,most Nigerians are not that mentally sophisticated. 17 Likes |

Amya:It is not US fault , no sane nation will put her defence machineries in the hand of another nation ..... In the present days of Insurgency/Terrorism ravaging every part of the world , we should not fold our hands and wait to be consumed before we go out there to develop and procure our defence/attack Military Gadgets !! Especially, we need to start looking inward , we have engineers, Chemist, physicists among many scientists and raw intelligents on streets lying idle doing nothing ..... But if we sponsor this people's effort on research and development , verily, we shall have a sophisticated Military tools of our own that can withstand time .... The only one we may not have is Nuclear (Cuz they won't allow us) !! But ........ Hmmmm , we keep waiting on Russia, China, US, India, ZA, Isreal even the security of our president, is in the hands of Foreign Nations ...... The time has come to stop protecting ourselves against ourselves , we should start protecting ourselves against the world !!! 7 Likes 1 Share |

Anyway, i don't blame them. The US has never sold us modern military weapons in our entire national history. Why the hell did GEJ think they would start now.? We are being governed by jokers. 4 Likes |

tinkinjow: There's truth in that story carried by thisday. The US knows how to cover their tracks well so you can never beat them especially in matters of this nature. Very soon you may likely hear the Israelis towing the same lines and those who don't understand these games will foolishly laugh at our military.. Exactly my thought...Americans we all know there gigantic power in the media.They have masterd the act of deception so well. On my own thought. It will be a big disgrace to them Americans if we NIGERIANS exceed there predictions of the 2015 extintion mark,so that's why they result to the use of ethnic/ religious tactics more so try to highlight our government flaws to the whole world and at the same time passing sublimal message to Nigerian masses that our Government is not capable. There intension is just to surpress Nigeria. But 1 tin is for sure NIGERIA WILL EXCEED AND PUT ALL HER ENEMIES TO SHAME. GOD BLESS NIGERIA. 12 Likes |

America lying since 1776. -Nigeria ask them for ZMapp. They refused. -Nigeria ask them for intelligence report. They Refused. -Nigeria ask them to help target movement of arms across the Sahara from Libya. They never gave a damm. -Nigeria wants to buy arms. They blocked it. OK now we get it. They predicted that Nigeria will break up in 2015 so they're will do everything possible to make it a reality. America and Europe in general are liars. Nigeria is the only last man standing in the committee of independent Countries. All the rest especially South Africa are puppets of the west. That's why they exposed our arms deal in South Africa. But whether they like it or not Nigeria shall surely prevail and come out stronger. If there's any country that is standing on the way of America to Spread its Africom menace in Africa, it is Nigeria. Am very proud of this. 12 Likes |

vecman22: gej and lies..i jst kwn d Nigeria government was not truthful with this one, let's ask ourself what dose the American govt stand to gain from blocking such deal.... this government is unbelievable.... anyways we will meet at they polls ...... International politics is a very involved and convulated issue. There is ALWAYS more than meets the eye, so, do not conclude yet. What did you expect? That US would uphold the accusation? She'd deny of course whether there's merit to the accusation or not. |

Omen100: I pursed the reading of this epistle to make, so president jonathan told the world that boko haram have so far killed 13,000 Nigerians and he back dated the boko haram crisis to 2005 to make it look like previous governments before him failed to tackle the menace and that he's the only tackling it, this man called jonathan & his handles think they are clever,No, there was Boko Haram before GEJ Administration. Just that they were not as empowered(sponsored financially an al) then like d present Govt. did(No thnks to d enemies of Nigeria). Am afraid thats the truth. Thanks 1 Like 1 Share |

Well, what do we expect. Nigeria is not a US ally therefore we will always get these kind of attitude from them. before we rush to blame our Govt, we should remember that they will not always say the truth concerning situations between us. It's beyond political affiliation [PDP, APC, etc.]. it's just the western policy on potentially strong non-allied countries like nigeria. And it's good. Now we should realise that it's our responsiblity to invent, develop, and manufacture our weapons/millitary hardware. The hard truth is - No country will ever sell FIRST-CLASS millitary hardware to any country. it's just not possible. If u need it, u have to invent and produce it your self. 1 Like |

ntyce: I wasn't sure sure of the information from the FG before now, but now I'm sure that the yanks did block the sale. I guess the guys mixed up the name, it was the Cobra AH1 not Chinooks. The IDF doesn't have the Chinook in their inventory.

cirmuell: did the government says it was buying from Israel? So because an Israeli was mentioned you think the whole State of Israel was involved? You are right. The Chinook Helicopter they wanted to buy is parked in the backyard of a South African celebrity in Cape Town. in the meantime the quote from the unnamed Nigerian source: “ They have refused to sell us arms and equipment and even our recent attempt to buy Chinook helicopters, which are manufactured in the US, from the Israelis was blocked, based on unfounded allegations of human rights violations by our troops. |

major466: Utter nonsense! This is laughable because South Africa under ANC is one of the few sovereign countries on the continent, with a well defined foreign policy, with a mind of its own - something Nigeria has never been. Nigeria isn't just a western puppet, it's a western slave, with no foreign policy - and that's the truth. But it's just that, it's a slave that no one really cares about. Topic: He, however, declined to give any assurance of a mutual complement of arms purchase policy that is not in conformity with that of his country and its interests. ^^^This is just self-explanatory, and the US actually see Nigeria as having any benefit to America's strategic interests, they would've offered American weapons to Nigeria time ago. The fact that Nigeria has no heavy America weapons - apart from those little world war 2 era ships they were about to decommission, and decided to give Nigeria, to save cost - tells you all you need to know. Also, I just checked, and the Mukhtar Dan’Iyan is right on the money. Israel doesn't use Chinook - it uses Sikorsky CH-53, and I believe they also use V-22 Osprey. So, where did the Israeli link come from? Nigerian leaders!!! 7 Likes 1 Share |
