Used to have a toy of this jet as a kid. it's a Harrier jet.
We put 2 "B" Batteries inside and it would craw about the place shining red light.
It had a plastic foot under to raise and lower the plane.

Nigeria still using this old plane. It's not very fast by modern standards as the Engine is small.
It is capable of vertical take off and landing. The engine has to be small so it can accommodate the exhaust thrusters twisting mechanism that enables the vertical take off and landing. Hence the plane is slow due to the small engine.

At no point in time did NAF possess harriers in it's inventory, we have Alpha Jets which has a similar appearance with Harriers. We have procured, Jaguar seepcats, Mig - 21 ( most of which have been decommissioned) F-7s, J -17 Thunder and super Tucanos which have been recently purchased.

Wahala no dey finish for this country sef

So sad���

Na wa O. So our money no even reach for original plane.
The Alpha jet even looks so much smaller than harrier jet.

When the northern region of Nigeria believes that the only means to keep Nigeria intact is in acquiring military hardware and paying soldiers handsomely to kill other Nigeria groups agitating for political restructuring of the country to work well for all the regions,
Endless wahala is all the country gets.


Boko Haram which gave birth to the bandits is fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal justice system; the same criminal justice system adopted by the 12 northern sharia states between 1999-2001.

Pity those in the south of Nigeria who elect to sit like ducks in one Nigeria.

Taliban of Afghanistan has retaken most of Afghanistan immediately after the Allied forces led by America started to leave Afghanistan.
It’s foolish to believe that Nigeria’s armed forces may one day defeat Boko Haram which has support from millions of Moslems from the sharia states in northern Nigeria.

The bandits in the military is worse than the once in the bush

Who them
Use this one kill this time around ?

Na only for UAR, military planes dey do like rain.

But unlike rain, they don't need a season to fall.
They just keep falling!

When buying a plane / jet, a lot of factors are put into consideration, apart from the unit cost of the platform, the cost of maintenance, spare parts, training of pilots and technicians together with armament are all factored into the total cost, which invariably makes the deal to be very expensive. Aside from that international law also applies as well, for Instance, the Leahy act / law ( named after Senator Leahy) bars a user of US military hard ware or equipment from selling it to a third party without authorization from the US government. Especially if the third party is indicted for human right violations. That was why Isreal refused to sell some attack helicopters to Nigeria during GEJ tenure, and he had to resort to the black market.

Officialgarri:
Planes are beginning to fall even when not at war.

Is it incompetence, negligence of weather condition or poor maintenance?

Can't be maintenance because a whole COAS would not fly in a poorly maintained aircraft

Please, also include Saboteurs.

I think we have suffered enough in the hands of the international market. They can go to hell
Are we not disadvantaged enough again in this Nigeria?
Our strategy now should be like Innoson motors. Local fabrication of some parts, import other parts from anywhere, join-join everything together as OUR OWN standard and get ourselves brand new "anything" aeroplane.
And employ more of our youth in the process.
We have shot ourselves in the foot by longing so much for foreign goods.
Those guys don't care that all our youth are jobless due to excessive importation of their foreign goods.
I'm with them on Quora.com everyday. They are always complaining about Nigerian scammers scamming them.
What do you want the Nigerian boys to do? No light., No job no nothing. Just imported goods everywhere in the country and no industry to engage ones time or energy.

Military planes just be crashing any how. I think the one that crashed in Abuja was going to bomb bandits too, a new seemingly over zealous COAS died in one recently, now another one. The other one disappeared to God Knows where. I hope it's not game of thrones. Mailafias supported video claiming war by 2023 comes to mind. This is serious.

Winter may be coming o

Useless question ? Wow. Ok

You just said BH might take over Nigeria's Military if care isn't taken...and you are asking if Nigeria has military....what sort of useless question is this?

Makes no sense anymore. Hope the pilot didn’t go down with it or is safe.

I think is as a result of overused planes, oyibo go use plane finish sell am to Nigeria

Imagine Israel invade Nigeria, they'd shot down the zoo air space in minutes.

I sincerely hope this crash report is false,a fake news. Because they are frankly becoming too much too many. It can never ever be bad as this, when everyone is having a fearful feeling that every military craft in the air could most likely come down. Really sad �

Kaduna k-crashing another one? KK...

I will like to be president of this country. I can fix all dis nonsense.. I sware

Six mikano generator jets awaiting delivery yet an alpha jet crashes again. The way things occur in Nigeria as a whole is too worrisome to an average alien on moon

Lol. They should better start dumping those outdated things they call military aircrafts. Military aircrafts indeed. .

Boko Haram might take over the Nigeria military if care isn’t taken.

Does Nigeria even have a Military ? Smh
