As dollars can't be used because of the US sanctions on Russia, what currency will Nigeria use to pay for these tanks?
The more I think of all the currency swaps Nigeria could do, like the Indian Rupee or the Chinese yuan, the more unlikely this deal is to go ahead.

Based one Lionel's contributions here, I don't know him to be a rumor mill.

But I can't see anything concrete in that blog post.

When Nigerian Military smacquires modern equipment they'll always tell you on this thread to provide evidence; this is not the QST time and it wouldn't be the last.
Same happened with the Tucano, attack helicopters and when we acquired the used T72,s.

What they? I postulated why I think the deal is unlikely so long as the currency restrictions on Russia remain. Do you have a counter argument to offer, or just content with taking down straw men?

Yep. The facts on Lionel's blog post do not support the conclusion he reaches. Here's why I say so:
1) The official Nigerian statements all date back to 2021, before the latest sanctions on Russia, which -to repeat - proscribe the use of the USD to pay for Russian goods;
2) It is not at all clear if the quoted "high-ranking military official" who reportedly made the comments at Army 2023 is Russian or Nigerian. If the former, well, he would say that, as they've been saying all sorts of things to show they're not isolated.
If the latter, the currency problem remains.

The T72 was a shady from a procurement era we want to quickly forget

The Tucanos and AH had handwriting on the walls. Reputable sources on Twitter even our own Toju reported it

Well, time shall tell

Your system needs to be tested by the 16 security lights I have outside during Stage 6 load-shedding + my 1000w gaming PC and a girlfriend who is constantly hair-drying her every evening.

On a serious note though, I envy you and your municipality, mine is pure rubbish, in fact, I'm even entertaining the idea of living in a farmstead for the first time in my life as long as I won't have to pay those id#ots any fees.

Pah! My system allows me to choose to be completely off-grid, with more than enough to feed back to the City (and get paid for it )
I have 40 hours of reserve power in those 4 batteries, and seeing that I can run my 300L geyser, home server for work, another server for crypto-mining and all other appliances, your gaming PC, hair dryer and security lights seem puny.

Really though, when we had enough of the ANC, we chucked them out. Mind you, they were not fvcking up (Cape Town has a bureaucracy that pretty much runs the City regardless of whatever political party), but they were not progressing. We know we have one of the best cities on the planet, and require stewards fully on board with that sentiment.

Our bonds division trades in municipal bonds all over the continent, so I recently went on an SA road trip (away from PowerPoint, one has to see for oneself); it's scary out there.
Cape Town, Maputo, Luanda, Nairobi, Casablanca, Algiers, Tunis, Accra, and Dakar remain the only municipal bonds with which we're comfortable. Cape Verde, Botswana and Mauritius we've swapped City bonds for country ones.

We used to hold bonds for all SA issuing metros, a third of the over 30 African cities tradable.
Now look at my list and the mega-cities absent!

@all

Please tell me what you think about this uniform. I think they call it No 4.

I actually find it ugly and unbefitting of our service men. Also, the very fact I have not seen it on officers in other parts of the world, makes me wonder why our men and officers in all the military and paramilitary services wear it.

What's worse, it appears to be so common among our officers.

@SouthAfricans

Do your officers wear this? Can you show me pictures of officers in other part of the world wearing the same thing?

I think the worst of them all is the army's because of the colour.

Aside this particular uniform, all the others are fine, in my opinion.

From Omar Bongo 42years as President and now his son Ali Bongo since 2009....both backed by the France imperialism machine.

One by one, the FrenchAfrique will be liberated

You should have added "we don't deal with peasant cities like yours", I was not even going to take offence

Algeria is proposing 6months transitional government to restore democracy in the Niger Republic.

The transitional council would be led by a Civilian.

It means President Bazoum and Military General Tchiani will step down.

Tchiani has not responded to the offer.

Algeria is seeking a UN Conference to pursue this proposal.

Foreign policy is moribund in Nigeria's political language

Uniform No 4 was originally tailored to be worn with a "Sam Browne" belt. The decline of this country in all conceivable aspects began noticeably with Sani Abacha.

This vegetable has been ruling Cameroon since 1982...15 solid years before I was born

The Western countries are cool with him...since he plays their ball.

He won the last "election" with numbers more than what is on the voter's register
Nobody is saying anything... because its a favorable regime to the interest of the Western masters.

Just wait till a military coup removed him...then boom! Sanction upon sanction
With the pretentious noise for "democracy" and "rule of law"

Lol

Another one of my prophesies is about to come to pass

If he like he can reshuffle every damn thing... But its all about time now. No one can stop the idea who's time has come.

No single FrenchAfrique will live beyond 2025 insha Allah

Since KDF pictures are hard to come by these days, I'll post president elect motorcade on his way to being sworn in last year.

And another one where the president drove himself in an all electric motorcade yesterday to Africa Climate Summit conference.

PS: Those tiny electrics should not be sold in Africa, what the hell is that

According to this article, Myanmar is having a lot of problems with it's J17 to the point that they grounded them soon after purchase

Is Nigeria having the same issues with it's jets?
