There was no sanctions to buy from Russia, Turkey and many other countries. Only US was relunctant or refused to sell us arms.

No justification for buying with cash.

Bros,not true..china and russia were willing to sell and they went to buy wepons from terrorist with 3 cash laden private jets and we are only talking about one jet.....I thought the procurement dept of the nigerian military ought to do the buying!!

MRSALT:


There is nothing difficult to understand here. No country was ready to do business with Nigeria. The only option the administration had was to buy from black market which transactions are done in cash in order to cover their track to avoid sanctions from the US. It is unfortunate that the black market purchases encourage looting anyway

That is Russian black market, that's were we bought all the stuff, check out that vice boko haram documentary. If the US were truely friends of Nigeria, there would have come investigate the claims themsleves because at the time the Nigeria Army invited them to come and investigate the claims themselves but the declined. I think the reason behind the US hatred of Jonathan's regime was far more than just Amnesty's reports because Amnesty does reports on Saudi Arabia, etc, but the US still sells them arms, It has something to do with the Neo-colonial organisations and policies that the west have set-up to ensure that Africans remain as poor as possible and always at their mercy. I like the military industrial complex Buhari proposed, we could be making our own arms and selling to other African countries...

Jonathan's regime was by far the most corrupt this nation has ever seen with all these revelations coming out. there was and there is every reason to hate it.

that being said, I want to point out to you what Jonathan told us some years back. he said boko haram was in his government and he knows them. what stopped him from fishing them out
I mean can you imagine buhari coming out to tell us the same thing?

really, the US doesn't need to come and investigate anything. their intelligence-gathering methods are state-of-the-art. it is an open secret that their embassies in all countries operate more like spy stations.

that's why they destroy all documents if there's an invasion of their embassies.

they are well informed and I can assure you that all the money meant for arms stolen by gej and his cronies are all well documented.

GEJ's future actually rests with the American government. he can go to jail or be pardoned.

US just like politicians doesn't have permanent friends or foes. just permanent interests.

Nigeria should start planning for the next 50yrs if not 100yrs. military complex is fine and will position us as the undoubted leader of the African continent and a world player.

Why was an embargo placed on us in the first place? Is it only the US that sells sofisticated weapons? If US refused to sell can't we go somewhere else? Look these excuses are flimsy, FFK needs to stop justifying mediocrity. Even a five year old knows that if the store by the house doesn't have candies you go to the other store down the street.

I disagree that Jonathan regime was the most corrupt, to me I followed the progress of the ministries very well, it was the most transparent government Nigeria has had, perhaps Jonathan was too trusting and naive but in all honesty he had a few good ideas but ultimately he was just incompetent and overwhelmed with the task. But the "corruption" is just propaganda, OBJ, IBB ABACHA, these were corrupt people but during Jonathan's regime you could get access to any financial information at all. The people under GEJ were likely the corrupt ones, as he delegates the jobs and money he never really, follows up. BTW, I think Nigeria deserves better presidents that all we have had so far, especially with so much intelligent Nigerians across the country.

That the united states and its allies placed an embargo on nigeria was not enough excuse for jonathan to resort to purchasing weapons thru crooked arms dealers who in connivance with some individuals in GEJ's administration defrauded nigeria by means of purchasing either weapons that were of inferior quality at excessively high rates or weapons in insuficient quantities eg the case of the erstwhile NSA Dasuki wh boasted of purchasing 16 T72 main battle tanks after receiving two billion dollars .If I am not mistaken russia never imposed any embargo on nigeria neither did china or north korea now these mentioned manufacture and sell HIGH quality weapons that nigeria could purchased and prevent BH from metarmophosing into what it turned into btwn 2013 and 14. Nigeria could hv purchased BTR 80 apcs fromnussia if america doesn't want to sell apcs to us, Mi 35 attack helicopters could have been bought if jonathan wanted them ,china has the CH4 drone that the iraqis r using against isis but rather they chose use crooked individuals who bought weapons at inflated rates .zimbabwe,burma and sudan these countries all hav arms embargoe imposed on them by the west but they hv turned to russia and china and they hv formidable armed forces so FFK can only preach this po to his dumb wailers who are not conversant with the workings f intl politics ,the govt he worked messed up tinz in this country may God help us

well then, I stand to be corrected though I still maintain my position.

I definitely concur with your other assertions though . Nigeria deserves much better, and though Buhari may not be the best we can offer as a country, he is a good start on the right path.
Re: US Embargo Forced Jonathan To Buy Arms With Raw Cash –fani-kayode by Nobody: 10:57am On Dec 31, 2015
I think why people like FFK are still talking is because of the leadership of the financial siphoning cartel that was carefully selected Minister of finance, Minister of Petroleum, Minister of Power and CBN all from the same line of thought. Also, all the units are carefully selected and mobilized along this line of thoughts. Other people, having seen the direction and motives of the government now joined them and make more money.

It is very disgraceful that somebody will come and defend procurement by raw cash on channels TV or Nairaland.com. Nigeria and South Africa are like Siamese twins on africa developmental struggles. President of both countries are very close just like Nigeria and Ghana. They communicate often even on phone. Is it not a disgrace that Nigerian President will attempt to smuggle dollar into South Africa without prior notice of South African President his african big brother? Haa aa ooole. Shutup

I guess the word embargo escaped u.
Secondly, once the U.S places an embargo, it's (traditional) allies are by rule expected to follow suit.
The arms u want to buy from the other countries will be (at least 50%) of U.S origin which still puts u in a bad situation as regards training and maintenance.
Look@ wat happened in S.A wen d U.S got wind of a possible sale. Wasn't the cash seized Wat will give S.A d gall to pull off something like that..searching a diplomatic pouch if not f d influence of a world power.


Also, it is the blackmarket..a legitimately illegitimate enterprise run by business men and like all businesses,It Is CASH AND CARRY.

Monies were misused,yes but this cash f arms tin is just bull shit .


Please ignore these wicked souls, they know nobody will sell weapons to us in the open market apart from the likes of Russia. I'm proud the last administration patronised the black market in search of weapons and munitions to stem the rising tide of Boko Haram. I'm even more proud that we became a Russian ally, unfortunately the Dull One from Daura has severed that relationship. it is now hard for us once again to procure weapons from the open market, that partly explains why our present dictator has not been able to buy a single rifle since he became president.

You know nothing about this arms deal then.US warn Russia , Israel and so on of selling arms to Nigeria because of the report AI gave them about NA human rights violation.
Please stop embarrassing yourself in public.
America is not as powerful as you imagine it to be.
Same America that sells arms to both sides of a conflict?
Arms trade is not pharmaceutical business o!
It is a dog eat dog business. People are selling arms legitimately to even rogue states and we are hear talking about a sovereign state defending its a citizens against insurgents.
GEJ goct used the America embargo as an excuse to do cash transactions with no documentation for very obvious reasons.
