After several rejected appeals to the US and
UK for weapons and helicopter gunships to
fight Boko Haram, Nigeria has finally turned to
Russia for urgent help.
This is according to reports released on
Monday by Damina Advicers, a global
political risk consulting firm.
The report says Russia is eager to increase its
leverage over other major oil producers, and
find new markets for its sanctioned local
arms manufacturers.
It says the Russian government has in recent
weeks engaged in talks over a multi-billion
dollar arms deal and technical advisory
mission to help the Nigerian army defeat the
insurgents.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has
ended a US government’s military training
programme for Nigerian Army.
The Nigerian government requested for the
suspension of the programme less than a
month after Washington said it refused to sell
the country Cobra attack helicopters.
“At the request of the Nigerian government,
the United States will discontinue its training
of a Nigerian Army battalion,” the US
Embassy in the capital, Abuja, said in an e-
mailed statement.
The training programme was designed to help
Nigeria battle the Islamist militant group,
Boko Haram.

And Mzansibeat or whatever your name, (to me your name sound Ghanaish to me) if you are truly a Nigerian you would have been better informed about the attitude the Us is displaying towards our insurgence wars, i dont want to say anything negative to you, just mind your words. And by the way is there any country as manupulative as the Us?
