President Muhammadu Buhari has looked to Russian President, Vladimir Putin, for much needed military support to combat the resurgent Boko Haram terrorists in the North-East.
Citing a report on Kremlin’s RIA news agency, Reuterssaid PMB will sign a Military Technical Cooperation deal with the eastern European state in the Russian town of Sochi before the end of October.
Nigeria’s ambassador in Russia, Stephen Ogbah, said, “We’re sure that with Russian help we’ll manage to crush Boko Haram given its experience combating Islamic State in Syria.”
The Buhari administration had in 2018 paid $496m for the purchase of two Tucano jets from the United States, which it said would be delivered in 2020.
According to Ogbah, Nigeria is interested in buying Russian helicopters, planes, tanks and other military equipment, adding that a draft version of the deal had already been finalised.
He added, “We hope President Buhari can take the talks to their logical end. The agreement will open new possibilities in such areas as the supply of military equipment and training for specialists.”

Stephen Ugba

Aligning militarily with Russia is the best decision any country can make

I have been waiting for this for a long long time
It is obvious that the USA isn't interested in helping
Of course they are always stingy with their wepons

Good development...

Our leaders has always live in denier they always say bokoharam had been defeated why again calling on russia

Which freaking relationship with the west biko?let's face it bro the west is full of shity countries if I was the Nigerian president I would have turned to Russia and China for my wepons a long time ago because, theirs is cheaper, easy to maintain and rugged in the battle field

donprinyo:
Who is giving dis guy dis kind brain? Have we not suffered enough cos of ur mistakes. U are trying so hard to strain ur relationship with the west. Soon u will ban western education all in de name of being a radical muslim

Smart move. Anything but the so called great Britain is fine by me

Nigeria wants America to be jealous, I assure you Nigeria has succeeded

Since the govt has not come out with any name link with the sponsorship of this madness, but rather prefer to rehabilitate and empower any boko boys arrested, l therefore conclude theys nothing any foreign powers including Putin can do.
The solution lies with our govt, let they keep pretending

ManirBK:
Nigeria is beginning to work, wailers are still complaining, u better join d train now and start engaging in constructive criticism that will make Nigeria better

Please what is working in Nigeria?

Why not turn to the Kurdish fighters. They successfully fought IS in Syria and imprisoned over 70,000 IS fighters in secure locations in Northern Syria

Another media stunt for buharideens to eat nkwobi on.

Al Sudan needs more money for his surgical maintenance.

Really?

Been wondering for long reason the government is not taking the step ..

nigeria army cant defeat rag tag boko sha...so if cameroon try fight us dem fit win nigeria o

lol

Really - Russia is fighting Islamic state...

Or they are perpetuating a repressive regime and commuting war crimes in Syria.

Nigeria my country...

Russian military trainings / cooperation should also be sought.

Those guys don’t have time for drama... the insurgents get it hot hot!

From head to toe. Very disheartening

siding with Russia indirectly sends a wrong signal to USA in a political way.

Just my opinion though

WHO USA HELP...

when I saw the news I was like. Not again. This was the same mistake good luck made signing a deal with China. Well what's my business?

You're so naive.

These weapons will not be bought in the quantity we need. Corruption will still leave soldiers on the Frontline underequipped and poorly led.

It is not because of 'American stinginess' that soldiers don't have simple helmets and body armor on the front Lines.

Besides, this is nothing new. We've always had arms deals with China for fighter jets.

Misleading headline

That's not a blessing.
