F117A: The US is a friendly nation to Nigeria?
Smh.
When i thought i've heard it all,someone,somewhere ,releases a bombshell.


Nigeria get more military AID and military equipment from the US more than any country. When was the last time China and Russia gave you anything for free? When was the last time they helped you in anyway?

The fact that they refused to cater to our very corrupt and openly incompetent government doesn't mean they are not our friends.

Your government is the problem, not the US..

Why can't Nigeria aspire to be like other democratic and stable countries that respect human beings and treat them with dignity?

Another victim of Kolo mentality.

u compare Nigeria wil Rewanda and Uganda but u 4got we'r supose to b d gaint of Africa. We ought to play a leading role nt comparin ourselves wit war ravaged countries.
No Western world have come out to say there's an embargo on Nigeria. Why r we jst hearing this wen d S.A issue is on? I dnt trust this Govt. They'r full of lies and cover up

your thinking about the rwanda of 1994. Rwanda is not a war ravaged country today. They are one of the few African countries that are doing quite well economically. plus there is no embargo on Nigeria. Only countries like North korea, cuba, zimbabwe have embargo's.
America and the U.K have just refused to sell weapons to Nigeria for frivolous reasons and the Nigerian government has decided to move on and strike deals with russia and china.

On top of that we have a few special forces training with the russians so that will be good for the military.

F117A: That is a very simplistic view and you know it.
Ghadaffi was corrupt ,yet the country was stable for decades because he controlled the press.
The chinese communist govt is actually very corrupt as the majority of poor chinese would tell,yet china is still stable because of effective press control.
Nigeria was very stable during the era of corrupt abacha.
Corruption is bad and should be snuffed out though.

Gaddafi muzzled the press. The peace in Libya was the peace of a grave yard. The catastrophic end of his regime should tell you all was not well with Libya.

Damn lies
I don't believe that the Western arms manufacturers are refusing to sell arms to Nigeria. This is all lies.

Western arms manufacturer would even sell arms to enemies of their own country unless their government specifically imposes bans on their arms export.

So far, no single Western country has a ban in place against selling arms to Nigeria. Why are some Nigerians so stupid to accept these lies?

What lies next?
That the $9.3 million cash seized in South Africa was meant for buy arms in the black market because Western arms manufacturers are refusing to sell arms to Nigeria?

Thats your own business bro.... if you like believe,if u like no believe.

Our opinion or believe will not change anything...

what makes you think that the nation was stable?is that because of the snippet of news which the govt only allows you to hear??just like North Korea is "Stable" due to the limitations in that country but speak to an average Korean and you will realise that what you see is not what is on round...do you remember when North Korea was at the world cup in south korea and they lost 7-0 to portugal??do you know what the govt told their citizens?they were told that they beat portugal 2-1 and that is the kind of system Nigerians applaud...

Nigeria loves to beg despite having the money to buy or build and when they refuse to give them aid,you now have the populace on mass hysteria calling everybody names and at the same time claim to be able to take care of their own issues and then the next topic comes alon and its the same thing over again

When majority of Nigerians are easily manipulated to belief the west is their enemy it is expected.

We always cry that Ghana , South Africa, Cameroon hates us.
Even Egyptians had the guts to tear up a Nigerian passport and as usual that case will die down.

Only reason America isn't selling those mentioned weapons to Nigeria is to weaken the army enabling BH become an adversary of equal might and capability thereby fasttracking their United States Africa Command agenda, to facilitate oil theft. There is no way on earth we'd attack the USA with those weapons!



Why can't we build our weapons? How can I sell guns to you and you want to claim boss?

The Hamilton class cutter was the largest class of vessel in the United States Coast Guard until replaced by the National Security Cutter, aside from the Polar Ice Breakers.

To effectively secure the Niger Delta and the Gulf of Guinea, CGC CHASE, a 378-foot (115 m) United States Coast Guard ship, will be transferred to the Nigerian Navy Friday.

The formal transfer ceremony, which will hold at the Alameda Coast Guard Base, California, will be attended by Nigerian Ambassador to US, Prof. Adebowale Adefuye, and senior defence officials from Nigeria.



That was free of charge..

Again, when was the last time China and Russia helped your military in anyway?

Yet the international community was aware of the $1000 monthly welfare each Libyan adult received. America,UK,France and Italy shared Libya's resources in percentages minutes after Gaddafi was killed. . Funny how today post Gaddafi Libya is without electricity, and in a poorer state than they were with him. The guns America supplied the rebels has led to tribal and clan militias springing from every corner causing even more devide and insecurity.

while your celebrating america giving us some free run down ship they discarded I prefer the technology transfer the Chinese are giving us. There is a saying that goes it is better to teach a man to fish than to just give him fish.

The China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Company had earlier in the year launched the Nigerian Navy’s first of two P-18N offshore patrol vessels.

The vessel was assigned the pennant number F91 (the pennant number F90 is assigned to the NNS Thunder, an ex-US Coast Guard cutter). The offshore patrol vessel’s launched ceremony also marked the hull formation ceremony of the second vessel, F92.

Only the first offshore patrol vessel (OPV) will be built entirely in China as between 50 and 70% of the second ship will be constructed in Nigeria in an effort to enhance local shipbuilding capability and provide technology transfer. Delivery of F91 is expected in the middle of this year and the second vessels is also expected to arrive sometime in 2014, and be completed either late this year or early 2015.

China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Company (CSOC) has also signed a contract to upgrade the Nigerian Naval Shipyard in Port Harcourt so that it can build OPVs and maintain vessels up to 10 000 dwt. Upgrades to the dockyard include a new jetty, a new dry dock and other additions.
