The citizens on Beegs blog have so many times mentioned this near future threat. What's the point of development when you can't secure that development.

"A civilization does not have the right to exist. It must exercise the right to exist."

Nigeria is along a volatile geopolitical belt on the African continent. At one end of this space is a nation like Algeria which recognises the context it exists in. It has learnt from history and is ready to face any perceivable threat to its existence.
Nigeria must learn from a nation like this.

My advice to the Nigerian state (putting it in simple language): Arm yourself; improve your defense and intelligence gathering/processing capabilities.

Another war is about to begin.

Yes, Egypt is the second biggest in DOLLAR TERMS

Not in actual output.

This is why simply throwing around "GDP" as a basis for evaluation is meaningless... For example, when the American Housing Bubble burst it cost the American GDP a total of $12 trillion that has "dissapeared". Does it mean that all those buisnesses, houses and roads that comprise the US economy magically dissapeared? No.

Basically, its the same as evaluating a company based only off its share value and just ignoring all its assets and ability to earn.

i thought your output is being affected by a depreciating rand which contribute to higher costs of production for manufacturers.

It's in small number compared to what is produced at home.

It honestly beats my thinking. Is there any component of those vessels Nigeria couldn't make or at worse import?

Inshore Patrol Boats, not Vessel.


It's an insignificant number, when compared to what the Nigerian navy orders from home. In the last 11 months, the Nigerian navy and JTF have taken delivery of over 213 inshore patrol boats. Only 9 units of that number was purchased from abroad, every other unit was delivered by a local contractor.

dis is cool it's a bit expensive

Does it offer any special capability from the ones being produced in Nigeria locally?
I mean why take the money out for minor hardwares like patrol boats if it does not possess any capability not seen on our locally produced ones.(that are fantastic)

Then again my opinion won't even count.

So in essence this deal was based purely on patronizing the Sri Lanka's.

Some procurement are just for building relationships or might just be for evaluating your own home made product.
China recently order SU 35 even though they were working on a better platform like j20 and j31.

Seriously, I don't know why Navy order the boats from Asia but I know there is a reason for such move.

Tanzania Bids for Russian Military Supplies

Tanzania has approached Russia to supply the country's new weapons and military equipment, state-owned news agency RIA Novosti reported Wednesday.

The director of the Russian Military – Technical Cooperation Service (FSVTS) announced that the east African country was interested in purchasing the entire Mi-17 series of helicopters. They also expressed interest in Russian fighter jets, small arms and armored vehicles.“They [Tanzania] have looked into every supplier and chose Russia,” a FSVTS spokesperson said.

Russia said they were prepared to make a counteroffer to Tanzania's bid, which would include increased goods exports as well as provision of both commercial and state loans, RIA Novosti reported.

Russian delegates in Tanzania have scheduled a meeting to discuss the proposal with the head of the Tanzanian Arms Ministry.

A Tanzanian spokesperson said that the country had carried out a large amount of research into suppliers on the global weapons market. They confirmed that Tanzania sent Russia a bid to procure a wide range of military equipment including planes, tanks, small arms, and anti aircraft defense systems, RIA Novosti reported.

In truth, it's an absolute waste of money. An investment which should be probed. Especially when one considers that there are literally many, better local alternatives.


This Proforce Interceptor should first have been considered before running to Sri-Lanka to buy boats we don't need. $4.2 million is a lot of money apparently wasted on a foreign vendor.

I don't quite understand why any body would go for this (Pic 1 & 2), instead of (Pic 3 & 4).


It's a no brainer!!

Bot's has a very stable economy
And they are very wealthy for their size

They also spend ~4% of their GDP on defence - compared to RSA who spends currently 1.2% (soon to be 0.9% )

This is a great step forward towards the integration of the "core" SADAC community.

Now if only we could get Angola, Namibia, Mozam and Tanz to get involved in Operation Biro

Production capacity.

You will probably find that local builders are at maximum production and that the need for vessels now outweighs the benefit of local investment.

That's not even an issue. Local vendors had already supplied over or close to 200 units. 9 Interceptors from an entirely different defence contractor would not affect production capacity.


Especially with the numbers the Navy/NIMASA/JTF have in active service.
