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.
One thing is clear, America wanted a situation Nigeria will virtually beg them for assistance or outright intervention in this war. But just like Nigeria continue to surpass their expectations, that isn't happening

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.

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:



^^^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!!!

cirmuell: your mumurity no be here. Are you linking the two events? damn shallow thinking.

From beyond the letters, it's clear that US under Obama's Government hates Nigeria and is doing everything possible to destabilize her, but he will fail.

Chei!!! Who's this?
You certainly don't know anything about international politics. You think this scandal started now? I don't have time to lecture you because it's very obvious you are completely ignorant of American and South African foreign politics.

Amya: Do anyone really expect the US to outrightly claim they are against our war efforts? They are not dumb!

Most of what this man said in this press release does not really answer the pertinent question of whether or not US will or agreed to sell arms to us. At some point he made it clear he wasn't privy to such information.

So what's the point of the entire press release? They say they always come to the aid of Nigeria when we really need it.

Everyone knows the story of Zmapp.

Everyone knows the story of bring about our girls and how they made it about themselves but didn't do anything to actually bring back the girls. They rode on that story like no tmrw and milked it for all it was worth, but did nada

. Everyone knows about how the US government kept deriding our army and made them out to be incapable of surmounting the boko haram menace even though our army are warriors of west africa who have gone on countless peace keeping missions!

Everyone knows how they insult and poke fun at our government in a bid to distract them for issues they have at hand. And with this all they never did anything to help.

We conquered ebola
We conquered boko haram
We will keep surprising them.

Nigeria is more than 5 decades behind when it comes to acquiring the knowledge and capital to develop any reliable weapon system.
There are many suppliers, we can always look at other markets

Lets get real please

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,

Mentcee: Check out my signature! Thad boy has lost it all. Pity him!

Israel do not use those helicopters, the Nigerian official who mentioned it was probably high on early morning gin or meant something else!

Typical airhead. You mean the same South Africa that defied both the US and UK under Mbeki to support Mugabe and Zimbabwe? The same South Africa that's part of the BRICS, and is working with the BRICS' new world economic order against US interests and petrodollar? The same South Africa that questioned US and NATO's excessive bombings of Libya, and the most vocal country on the continent about it? Etc..

How about educate me?

ferdimako:

xwolverine:
I would say you are spot on in your analysis of the southafrican stance on th yanks, but you need to know that southafrican government would be respected more than ours because of the lack of self respect of our leader who are not pan-africanists. The southafricans have earned their rep by always speaking wi h a clear voice and being professional in their approach. Nigeria on the other hand would not do things the right way, all because of the greed of our politicians, they see everything as a means of making money, without any thought on the repercussions. We Had to rejected during the Ebola scare before we decided to tackle the situation headlong, now we are reaping the benefits.


@shymexx still expecting your response to my reply on the other thread
