Theres no money, Bubu is still in London

what !!! what is the economic importance of a submarine in times like this...

they ll kill innocent ppl now in the name of friendly fire.

Another means to siphon our national resources.

APPROVED ..subject to increase in Boko Haram deaths by 60% per quater.

The money is too much, let them invest in power abeg. We need 24/7 light in nigeria.

Seguntimmy:
What!
.
Will that Submarine kill all the Bokoharam terrorist in the North?
Haba, if dat amount is invested in the military to get them advanced arms and ammunitions, the soldiers won't fear facing the terrorist, but with those old school weapons they are using, I doubt their victory.

And here u are, requesting for that huge amount for submarine, abeg PACK WELL.

its not about locally made, but what do they hav engineers for,

y can't they come up with a graded locally made that can match those international standard, y waste those scarce cash buying, and still wasting more repairing,

what are the technocrats and intellectual with the engineers, doing in the military


Submarine korr? Tubmarin niii?

Blue3k:
Nigeria with the need to secure our waters. The illegal fishing is huge issue for all of West Africa. Chinese criminal are usually culprits. That aside is 7 ships really going to turn the tide against all this crime. I'm guessing we're also going to do joint task force with neighbors.

The benefits are Nigeria retains has more tax revenue. Then we also benefit with lower insurance cost for vessels. Then more trade since nobody is afraid of becoming captain Phillips of West Africa.

PS:
Nobody going to read past headline. Nothing but venom when this gets front page. This will be too hilarious.

For the purposes you stated acquiring a submarine is an over kill. What of existing patrol vessels. I believe submarine is better for security in the event of war.

$100 million should be awarded to our universities to construct a sub for the Nigerian navy

comshots:
Nigeria is not facing any external aggression so what does he need that amount of money for if not to loot it?Is it the pirate or crude oil smugglers that doesn't pose a threat to the nation.Money to flex after retirement.

So we should wait until there is external aggression and your enemies cut off sea access to strategic locations, abi?

Them wan steal am.

Invest dis moni into our engineering firm n skuls here I bet u if we won't Manufacture it. I dnt no Y we dnt wanna c dis country progress we want to gv out dat moni to d white to build a submarine whereas we av talented brilliant engineers in Dis Country to do dis I wonder wen we ll av faith in our student

Nigeria doesnt have need for a sub. frigates will do

You're intelligent.
If you do a cost/benefit analysis, you'll discover it's more effective to acquire those hardware.

A country that cannot lift finger print in a crime scene wants to buy a submarine

Could be better if we sought strategic partnership with well equipped Navies. #whereisthedollar #standonshoulders

Each govt parastatal seems to be trying to grab what they can since the president is absent.

If that amount won't be used to buy two Squadrons of attack helicopters then we should forget it , the leadership of the Navy has shown once again they don't have thier priorities straightened out .

Just Imagine so they will tell us the Submarine washed away at sea

we never fit maintain ordinary Frigate na submarine...

ARADU and THUNDER no gree us operate at optimal oo..

Those pipu supporting this here.. am very very sure they know nothing about Nigeria Navy..

Thieves, Nigeria Navy is the most criminal element in the armed forces.

There is no crude oil theft and illegal bunkering, poaching, smuggling, vandalism, kidnapping that Navy is not involved in.

Any oil stolen and bunkering done is with Navy consent and involvement! Navy officers who serve at ports, oil and sea locations are the richest military men in Nigeria.

The equipments will not serve Nigeria as the current ones do not, they are tools used by Navy people to enrich themselves from the nations natural resources!

ole = Nigerian Navy!

Unless I am having hangover but I remember a SHIP getting lost under the watchful eyes of our Navy, a satellite missing from orbit and many more conspicuous objects that disappear into thin air.

Submarine is good o, but when did we start planning for it, do we have the crews ready, what about engineering maintenance, weapons system nko; mind you we still buy bullets. So where!

the navy needs it so that it'll be able to send ballistic missiles from Lagos waters to sambisa in borno

Whenever a foreigner asked me what ASUU means, I normally tell them it's an annual festival in Nigeria whereby students are not allowed to go to school.

submarines ke?
John Cena the Marine ko?

his mate Chief of Air staff is busy commissioning new project almost every week and monthly basis but navy don't even have anything to show..

We have forgotten 2 ships went missing in Nigeria. A while ship went missing. Na submarine wey dey under water no go lost

I think they need it to combat these crimes they are too much.

Vice Admiral Ibok-Ette Ekwe, when you retire, you come and join the Obong Victor Attahs to make endless and futile demands for political restructuring, resource control and fiscal federalism, knowing full well that youu are wasting time. Nigeria has no external enemy, you need submarine only to police your fellow southern Nigeria people who are restive and threatening secession from Nigeria. Secession because Fulani used military dictators loyal to it and restructured Nigeria to suit the financial and political interest of the political class from northern Nigeria; northern Nigeria which contributes near nothing to the central purse but takes home the lion share. Continue to serve the Fulani.

SSBN:
​The Nigerian Navy needs $1.3 billion to acquire new hardware to secure its territorial waters, according to Navy Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Vice-Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, who is seeking the acquisition of at least five new ships


Addressing a public hearing organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Maritime Safety and Administration, Ibas said the required long term acquisitions include a general-purpose frigate valued at $350 million, a long-endurance Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) valued at $120 million, a medium-endurance OPV estimated at $60 million, a landing platform dock ship worth $350 million and a landing ship-tank valued $90 million.

Other required assets include a submarine worth $300 million, a Seaward Defence Boat (SDB) worth $10 million and a specialised naval security helicopter at an estimated cost of $25 million.

Ibas said the new equipment would help the navy fully secure the country’s territorial waters against piracy, armed robbery at sea, crude oil theft and illegal bunkering, poaching, smuggling, vandalism, kidnapping, proliferation of small arms, illegal waste dumping and oil pollution.

However, he said the navy was concerned about the ‘substantially progressive decrease’ in government budgetary allocations for its capital and overhead expenditures since 2012.

In 2016, the Nigerian Navy took delivery of several naval defence assets and platforms in a fleet recapitalization programme that involved local construction and servicing of naval vessels.

The new offshore patrol vessels NNS Unity and NNS Karaduwa were delivered by Chinese company Poly Technologies and commissioned alongside other boats that were produced or re-fitted locally.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, last month said that Nigeria is said to be losing about N7 trillion ($19 billion) annually in the maritime sector due to leakages in revenue generation and insecurity in the water ways.

“Between January and March 2016, several attacks were reported off Nigeria’s coast. This was said to involve pirates stealing cargoes of crude oil and petroleum products. Reports had it that, no fewer than 44 ship crew members were abducted. In the first half of this year, about over 20 commercial vessels were attacked in Nigerian waters. The increasing level of attacks and violence in the Gulf of Guinea have given Nigeria and other countries in the sub-region very damaging and negative image in addition to an estimated monthly loss of $1.5 billion to the country.”

“[The] prevalence of insecurity in our waters resulted in the loss of $1.3 billion annually to Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in West Africa alone yearly. We must tighten the legal and regulatory framework to stop these losses. The only way to promote intra- African trade in our water ways is to ensure safety and security of navigation in our waters.

“What is disturbing is that pirate attacks in West Africa are said to be occurring in our territorial waters, terminals and harbours and not in the high seas which effectively stopped intervention by international naval forces. Thus, the onus is on the Nigerian Navy to stem the tide and secure our territorial waters.”

Ibas said that spending more on the Nigerian Navy would save the country $4.4 billion from oil theft, $1 billion from illegal fishing and additional $6.70 billion from general insecurity annually.

Let's ask our babe for some money, ALICESON BABY! Where is the remaining loot

emillionaire:
$300 million ?? FG please share the money we can protect Ourselves.

Seconded, that will be two million dollars for each person assuming the. population is 150 million peeps, and I don't think you need any protection because there is nobody that you are going to oppress as they have their own money too, no more kidnapping, money rituals, 419 and armed robbery as all of them will reduced drastically.
