Why is Buratai more popular than this man and the Navy?

RUBBISH!!!! Nigeria killed many hopes and dreams of excellent aviators! First of all.... its 2016 & were going to inspect a large garage in Kainji with not up to probably 10 active alpha jets. These are obsolete aircraft! I believe I heard when Nigeria lost a wing commander to Bokoharam while flying his alpha jet. Let's look in-wards, if we invest a mere $5billion into our airfoirce for procurement and modernization, we could be flying up to 50-60 F-15s & F16 jets, if US won't budge there are new advanced better Russian jets such as the SU35, PAK-FA or even some European countries would sell Euro-fighters & mirage jets & plenty aircraft to us! Instead we sit & face these leaders & promote gender inequality, talk about issues that won't benefit both of us, always appear as monkeys to clear the white mans doubt! If we own a proper air strike force we'll not have all this boko rubbish or militancy anywhere! Same goes for the N Army & N Navy! So just think of the trillions of Dollars that have disappeared & been displaced into a few peoples pockets to the total amount spent on the Nigerian military since inception!

Whats with the use of walking stick by top ranking millitary officers If I were Buhari, I would ban it.

FuckyourMama:
Useless airforce, wit dia outdated aircraft n brainless CAS

if country like cambodia catch nigeria with this type of 1958 model alpha jet they will beat us like mike tyson beat leon spinks then na massacre cambodia go massacre us with this toy

dermmy:
NAF pls get new and sophisticated jets. This jet is too old for you.

Asin, ehn! NL pipo, why una dey comot wetin persin wan tok sef befoe persin tok am?

There's too much holes to punch in this so-called NAF workshop, but then i remembered Aleh Bastard Badeh and Co have looted all what would made the workshop, and jets, world class.

Chei! (in PEj's voice)

this their skinny jet should nt go n fall their hand in serious battle. they dont even have any F series aircraft, oga o.

And how many of those jets are operational again...
there's probably a chinese kid at the back who repairs the engines for them.

Nigerian air force is a waste of government money, sack most of them!
40,000 men and officers for 7 working jets!
