Ryabcool: B1tch please! Nigeria and Russia maintained close relations during the Military era. Russia wanted to make Nigeria a Communist State like they attempted to do with Cuba, hence Russia was allowed to ship in Marxism books and items which furthered the cause of a Socialist and eventual Communist Movement. Socialist principles and ideals actively promoted through media outlets in Nigeria. This happened the most during the Murtala era. You better read your damn history books boy!

Demdem:

Fool, ur decision to support anything this govt stands for has made it impossible for u to effectively put ur brain to good use.
My coup against Nigeria, to hell with u

Demdem: Foolish govt with their world class lies.
If America no gree, Russia nko?
Are they insinuating that America also blocked Russia from selling arms to Nigeria?
Foolish set of people.

BTT:

Yes actually.

There are sanctions on Russia right now that disables her economy from selling arms.

I stand to be corrected.

Truckpusher: And the CIA made sure that Murtala paid dearly for it.

Most of these NL folks do not read.
This is one reason Why no sitting Nigerian President screws with Washington.
These guys takes no prisoners.

Opiosko: kids Demdem and other angry naive kids who think reading Sahara reporters makes one smart.

Truckpusher: Demdem is a certified iidiot.
I'd rather argue with my dog than engage him in any argument.

sunnshyn: President Goodluck Jonathan, ok. But wait I have a question sir. You people were desperate after America and co refused selling arms to us and so you 'cargoed' almost $10m in cash to SA without informing them(SA govt) first?

2) In your desperation, you couldn't find any other means of transfer except using Ayo's Jet?

3) When you realized that America wasn't going to sell, who did you tell? None of the citizen you swore to protect heard about it, if indeed you think we need not know intially, why then are you telling us now?

Even if all you have alledged is true, don't your excellency think that you and your cohorts have shamelessly acted in an embarrassing manner which may further severe our relationships with SA govt?

In case you didn't know sir, Nigerians are treated with disdain and disgust here in SA because of issues like this. They think we are all criminals, both govt and citizens and so we are avoided like plagues...

Answers to the above questions are needed.

ihedinobi2: I actually find this somewhat believable. I'm pretty sure that buying arms from Russia could severely strain our relationship with America. It may be less severe with China but there is a question of China's own self-interest.

America can block arms trade with another party by threatening either some interest of Nigeria's or some interest of the selling country. It's not like they lack the ability to do so. Some countries can call their bluff but how many really can? And of those who can, what else besides hard currency would it cost Nigeria to buy from them? If the sellers are few, Nigeria's bargaining power drops significantly.

Also, the human rights claim is not unbelievable. We ourselves complain a lot about how the armed forces from the police force all the way up to the intelligence operatives disregard human life and simply use their martial training to mete out any treatment that suits them to people they feel threatened by or simply find intolerable somehow.

Altogether, this is a believable story, I think. Not saying it's absolutely true. That's just what I think.

CrinkumCrankum:

When will you grow some sense hmm...So you think American do not have good relationship with Russia or China...I laff u in itshekiri, brother there might be verbal war between them on who manage which countries but it does not have anything to do with how they manage their Arm dispositions...,...America will never want any country to sell High tech Arms to A rich country of almost 200 million with intelligent citizens like Nigeria

TrollMan:

What the fück are you trying to say?

Opiosko: Hahaha! I prefer to think he is a naive kid who is just angry about his lot in life. I do hope he will change when he grows up and acquires real world experience. Demdem needs our help so let's try and help him in anyway we can.

MrPSA: Nigeria is full of criminals, from gov; boko and 419's. I will never visit that country, the people of nigeria like to fight one onother( boko vs nigerias vs gov), is like law isn't working in that country.

Truckpusher: The greatest enemies of Nigeria are Nigerians.

Unfortunately when this shiit goes down many of you iidiots wouldn't survive the first wave of violence.

omenka: Russia easily comes to mind!!! That said, these are all a tissue of poorly concocted lies!

Demdem:

Drugpusher, did u just called ur father a dog?
