Why Nigeria cancelled US military training – FG on December 05, 2014 / in News 12:46 am By Caleb Ayansina ABUJA—The Federal Government, yesterday, gave reason for the cancellation of the training of Nigerian soldiers by American security experts, attributing it to logistic problem. The U.S. Government, through its Embassy in Abuja on Monday said in a statement that “At the request of the Nigerian government, the United States will discontinue its training of a Nigerian Army battalion.” But Nigerian government explained that it did not cancel the training, but that the condition placed down by US government was not healthy for the security of lives and property of its citizens, particularly those in the north east region. The conditions, according to it, include withdrawing of some military equipment from the battle field, so that the American could use them to train the soldiers. The Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, who stated this during a routine briefing on security situation in the country, in Abuja, said the government would not expose its citizens at the mercy of insurgents because it wants to train its solders. However, Omeri maintained that the two countries were not at variance as being insinuated by some people in the country. “Nigeria and America have strong military relation till date. It’s still ongoing and strong,” he said, disclosing that Nigerian soldiers had concluded two phases of the training out of the three. Omeri explained that the third phase had to do with logistical components which the Americas did not provide but instead relied on Nigerian Military equipments, which was currently in use in the troubled states. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/12/nigeria-cancelled-us-military-training-fg/#sthash.824Sq4b1.dpuf 1 Like 3 Shares |

Am not surprised to hear this. That would have been the killer stroke! Withdraw the equipment from the field, hold onto it for long to ensure BH does maximum damage then come out with a story that the NA is unteachable. Meanwhile our country is in tatters. Good move FG 99 Likes 2 Shares |

Na wa for US So they expect Nigeria to withdraw heavy weapons used in fighting BH for training. What do they expect Nigeria to fight BH with.? Fellow Nigerians Are we sure US is not the main sponsor of BH Are we sure US is not viewing Nigeria as a sleeping giant that must be destroyed now in order to eliminate a future rival like China India. Am not against breakup but killing innocent Northern Christians and taking over their ancestral land without their support is evil. Biafrans I hope we are watching and learning. Biafrans we must develop our indigenous military technology by encouraging our higher institutions to develop indigenous military technology to counter threats like this. 37 Likes 1 Share |

Omeri explained that the third phase had to do with logistical components which the Americas did not provide but instead relied on Nigerian Military equipments, which was currently in use in the troubled states. So the equipment on the battle field are been use by un-trained army? That shows why military men abandon their armoury and run away anytime boko haram attack them, because they don't know how to use what they have in hand. In my own opinion, i believe american knows nigeria has the men and equipment to crush boko haram, why not release some equipment to U.S for training so that it will be use effectively on battle field after training, instead of giving it to boko haram. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Even if its Pope that make this press release, I will still not believe. so this people think we are this gullible? so all the military hardware that this country have is in the north fighting Boko Haram, yet we are struggling to win. Are we saying if Nigeria is attacked from South now, we will need to withdraw military hardware from north, to defend from South? I don't even understand, what military hardware are we currently using on book haram that is needed for the training? AK 47? Tanks? RPG? jet fighter? what else? This is all we have? is this what they want to train the military on? In a sane country, this kind of statement will have consequence. mtcheew! 44 Likes 6 Shares |

Re: Why Nigeria Cancelled US Military Training – FG by chronique(m): 6:47am On Dec 05, 2014 |
What kind of training would require a nation at war,to pull out equipments used in protecting human lives from the war front? I've always said this;America has a big hand in this boko haram crisis cos their body language and the way they have related with us on this insurgency issue,gives them away. So,until you pull out equipments from the battle front,the soldiers cannot be trained? Smh. 2 Likes |
