Ask yourself, did Chad need plane to decimate boko haram? Or you didn't read about the feat chadian army achieved recently?
Why me again

This is the one we can afford. 1930 airplanes. When it comes to luxury however, the leaders don't go for even 5years old model cars like 2015. They opt for the latest.

I think they were using it as training and some were delivered to Afghanistan but as not their main anti insurgency aircraft. If Nigeria was buying A-10 Warthogs though I would be jumping for joy.

A10 warthog is not for sale baba, not to Nigeria, not to any other country, not even NATO countries, also US socom is considering buying the aircraft as its light attack aircraft, and the aircraft is also being used for coin in Afghanistan

Why you? So that you can stop buying into the lies that the Jets are why bokoharam has not been defeated. They have not been defeated because there is no will on the part of those prosecuting and gaining from the war.

It is easy to reel out the names of modern aircrafts you have heard of or read about, but do you know how much those things you mentioned are sold for and do you think they are sold to just anybody or any country that wants them? You don't seem to know about sales of defense equipment.


Apart from the F-22, F-117A and the F-35, there is no jet in the American inventory that Nigeria cannot buy if we are serious.

Put serious money like $2billion cash on the table for F-18s and F-16s and see if Donald Trump would not send a trade emissary to Nigeria the next day.

The Russians would be even easier.

Money talks, policy flies out of the window.

You must be very stupid to say this. Foolishness has blinded your sense of reasoning. I do not know him but I can assure you that this government is not close to being good. Do you realize how much money they claimed this aircraft cost?

Someone said ww2 plane
Even if it's WW1 plane, we are still thankful to Buhari's administration
Am seeing the war against bokoharam ending soon
One step at a time
Before was heavy tanks
Now aircrafts

NA don't have excuse not to defeat bokoboys now

You talk like a fool
So because plane is plane, education is education. We should send our kids to learn obsolete things like the archaic libraries in most Nigerian schools.
Any serious country should never have a turbo propeller plane in its air force. Turbo propeller plane should be in training school. Turbo props cannot do more than 700+kph. Modern heat seeking missiles, surface to air, surface to surface will outrun it and shoot it down. We should not have any military jet plane older than 1985

U created Boko Haram and now you are also using our hard earned money from the south to buy tucano to fight that same boko boys you brought up, you are looking for a cover up that's why u re calling Jonathan.

So US socom considering A29 as its primary light attack aircraft are unserious abi?

And by the way that plane made its first flight in 1999 and went into operation in 2003, it's by far the best Counter insurgency aircraft in the world, it was made for Coin and close air support that's why its turbo prop, do some research please

That jet is a very good buy for Nigeria, its what Nigeria needs in the war in north east

It's a pity you do not know the difference between genuine criticism and just irrational pointless wailing and nagging; what you and many others here are doing is the latter. You wouldn't see me coming here to hail anybody but I just get irritated when I see meaningless wailing and baseless criticism born out of nothing but deep prejudice. That I say I'm disappointed in the government doesnt automatically mean I should throw away common sense and decency to join the herd mentality of fellows spewing nonsense daily in the guise of criticism... I'm sorry there's nothing honourable about such behaviour.

Nigerian military has been fighting and killing bokoharam for over 8 years now, but Chad military pulls one onslaught and all of sudden, Chad has become US marines that Nigerian army should go and beg for training?

You claim you just want them to just do their job and be quiet. But obviously with your kind of mentality, no matter what they do, no matter how well they do it, you will always pick a fault.
What are u talking about, dude?
Buhari said he will fight boko haram from the war front and decimate them.
That is what We want.
The rest is non of my biz.
5 yrs and counting.
You don't lecture me about what is happening in the military.

Not even world war 2 but world war 1 plane. Ordinary South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia all have modern fighter jets. Shame on Nigeria government. Giant of Africa my foot!


Nigeria always claim Giant of Africa, while they are behind Egypt, Ethiopia and South Africa.

I don't think Nigeria is even Giant of West Africa.

No my friend.. modern jet fighters have low altitude capabilities, terrain hugging, radar evasive abilities, fly faster. A turbo props is restricted by physics of wind shear. America just made this plane for unserious countries to collect change. For reconnaissance, Americans will use high altitude jet drones, or spy planes. Even modern fighting planes have dual capabilities of attack, and reconnaissance

Stupidity and this government cannot be separated. See how a fighter jet be like a toy .

It is best as surveillance aircraft not to fight some terrorist.

How will this kind of aircraft have accurate guidance system? We will soon hear mistakingly bombing villagers unknowingly.

Precisely the intended target. For the first time in years the Atmed forces is buying for fit not for drama/stealing. Fully loaded, this is far more effective than a jet fighter in the war against BH
