ogene007: I agree almost entirely with your analysis. However Washington's man for their partition project of Nigeria is GEJ NOT Buhari as they know that the General knows how to put in place "counter-insurgencies tactics". Washington knows that Buhari has the political will and the experience to crush the Boko-Haram death squads. Remember that in 1985 Buhari put an and to the Maitsasine crisis who just like Boko Haram today was fueled by the US , France and Britain to weaken the Nigerian government in the 80s. Just like Boko-Haram today, Chad was the "rear base" used by the Maitasine 1 Like 1 Share |

Evil may only rein for awhile but good will triumph forever. This is the height of wickedness and hypocrisy. The same US government pledging support for the fight against boko haram to the world and at the same time blocking access to weapons needed to fight the insurgency. Truly sad. Those who maintain silence when evil is being perpetuated in the land will surely one day be consumed by thesame evil. |

asadike: Question is, does Nigeris need such helicopter gunships to engage Boko Haram? The use of such weapons in Nigeria comes with a whole responsibity of protecting Civilians. BH as you guys have been saying live amongst the people and acquiring such weapons means going to kill civilians especially when the Nigerian military is not known to be a discipline entity. The fight against BH must be done differently and not by the mere acquisition of millitary equipments. Also whole lot of issues are considered before weapons are sold to countries. USA would not sell millitary weapons to countries to prop and beef up the military might of one country in a region and they think Boko Haram is being used as an excuse to acquire such weapons. 2 Likes |

Description and Purpose:[b][/b] The CH-47D is a multi-mission helicopter for the U.S. Army and international defense forces. It is the most proficient and recognized transport helicopter in the world with application for the U.S. Army and numerous international customers. The legacy of the Chinook began in 1958 and continues today with the CH-47F and MH-47G configurations. The Chinook is a true multi-role, vertical-lift platform. The primary Chinook mission is transport of artillery, troops, ammunition, fuel and supplies within military theaters of operation. CH-47s also have performed humanitarian support, disaster relief, rescue, fire-fighting and nation-building missions on six continents in all climates and conditions. Chinooks can fly more than 150 mph at full load more than 330 nautical miles with long-range fuel tanks. With a crew of three, the CH-47s can transport 44 seated troops or 24 casualty litters. The aircraft can carry palletized cargo internally, including the U.S. Army HMMWV, or sling-loaded external cargo, utilizing its triple cargo hooks for stability. High productivity Large external- and internal –load capabilities and high airspeeds allow the CH-47D to do the work of three utility helicopters, and give it the lowest cost-per-ton-nautical-mile of any U.S. Army helicopter. Triple-hook advantages The CH-47D’s triple-hook system stabilizes large external loads, such as 155mm howitzers, allowing them to be carried at speeds up to 140 knots (260 km/hr) – or twice as fast as single-suspension loads. Multiple external loads (fuel blivets for example) can be delivered to three separate destinations in a single sortie. Large internal loads The CH-47D’s cabin measures 366” x 90” x 78” (9.3 x 2.29 x 1.98m). It’s big enough to lift two HMMWVs or a HMMWV plus a 105-mm howitzer and gun crew, yet its fuselage is only 12 inches (30.5 cm) longer than the Army’s UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopter. Customer(s): Chinooks are currently in use by the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard and International armed forces. Under the U.S. Army Modernization Program, New-Build CH-47F began deliveries in 2006. Under the same program, CH-47Ds will be upgraded to Remanufactured CH-47F aircraft. The program completed a multi-year procurement contract for at least 191 CH-47Fs, both new and remanufactured, in August 2008. The Chinook is the longest running continual production program in The Boeing Company, and the CH-47F and MH-47G Special Operations helicopter, have brought the aircraft into a new era. Users of these configurations will enjoy the Chinook’s digital benefits and significant improvements in supportability and maintainability while still relying on unparalleled performance. Background: The Boeing Chinook is a tandem rotor, heavy-lift helicopter that meets tactical and combat support mission requirements for military forces around the world. The Chinook is the world’s most reliable and efficient transport helicopter, capable of handling loads up to 24,000 lbs. with a maximum gross weight of 50,000 lbs. (22,668 kg). Its tandem rotor configuration also provides exceptional handling qualities that enable the CH-47 to operate in climatic, altitude and crosswind conditions that typically keep other helicopters from flying. The first fully equipped U.S. Army Chinook designated the CH-47A, entered service in August 1962 with a gross weight of 33,000 lbs. (14,969 kg). Boeing introduced the CH-47B in 1966 with an improved airframe and power plant provided by the T55-l-7C engines. The gross weight rose to 40,000 lbs. (18,144 kg). The CH-47C was developed in 1967 in response to the Army’s request for transporting a 15,000 lb. (6,804 kg) payload a distance of 30 nm (56 km) radius on a 95oF (35oC) day at 4,000 ft. (1,219 m). Powered by T55-l-11 engines and had a gross weight capability of 46,000 lbs. (20,865 kg).

GEJ should simplty approach republican members of the congress to ask Obama what he is doing in Nigeria. 1. Under Obama, the northern governors not only meet State department officials, but also tell them what they want about Nigeria. Last year during one of their meetings in Washington DC, they briefed Obama official who later came out to say that Boko Haram was not a terrorist organization, but an agitation about poverty, injustic and umemployment. Has the state department ever heard from a group of souther governor? 2. Hillary Clinton, working for Obama was famous for say that Boko Haram was a misunderstanding 3. Uninformed State department official were key in pushing for 'reconcialiation" with BH, not fully understanding their aims and aspirations. 4. Obama official wrongly bit into a human right violations trap set by BK propagandists in order to tarnish our Ngerian army 5. Obama refused to help Nigeria, until the Chibok incident, and even when he did, northern governors pushed back hard 6. Why should Hussein Obama listen more to the muslim northerners than to the president himslf? 7. Shamefully, Kerry says there's no connection between ISIS and BK, everybody knows they are wrong again. Is this on purpose |

Re: Boko Haram: US Halts Israeli Aid To Nigeria by ttmacoy: 1:13pm On Jan 27, 2015 |
It's very simple, they do not want Nigeria using American made weapons as the US constitution does not allow countries accused of human rights abuse to be sold US weapons. As we all know the Nigerian army has been accused of human rights abuse in the fight against Boko haram. The US also believes there are Boko haram supporters within the Nigerian army. The Nigerian government are in my opinion stupid for still trying to buy American made helicopters. They should focus on Chinese or Russian made weapons as even if Obama or Kerry wants to help, the US constitution does not allow unless Nigeria is confirmed to have sorted out the human abuse issues. asadike: 1 Like |

America is strong ally to most of the gulf kingdoms i.e Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, UAE etc, none of these countries have legalized gay marriage. yet they sell weapons to them and still buy their oil(although in smaller portions these recent times thanks to Shale oil).

asadike: My sister I will answer your question plainly. America does not want a progressive Nigeria. These people know us more than we know ourselves. Even if this government is weak as some people claim, how do you make them strong, by denying them arms? They know that the government is going in the right direction and they are not happy about that. They cite human right abuse for their refusal to sell arms to Nigeria and you kinda ask when boko haram are killing school children did Americans warn them of human right? On the other hand do we fold our arms and watch them kill everybody because they have human rights and we don't have. They want a Nigeria that will be moving one step forward and three steps backward. They want a forger of statement of result to lead us. They want a man who calls himself a pastor but will tweet a crusade picture and claim it was their campaign picture to the second in command. In other words they want a fraudulent type of leadership. That is what they want but they will not get it. |
