US Sells N181bn Warplanes, Weapons To Nigerian Government To Fight Boko Haram by geunik(m): 9:33am On Aug 29, 2017
The Headquarters of the United States Department of Defence, the Pentagon, has informed the US Congress of the sale of 12 Super Tucano A-29 ground attack aircraft and weapons to Nigeria to fight the Boko Haram sect in the northern part of Nigeria.

According to Reuters, the Pentagon communicated the sale of the 12 ground attack aircraft valued at $593m (N181bn) to the US Congress on Monday.

The report quoted Pentagon’s Defence Security Cooperation Agency as having made the announcement to the US legislature.

The Super Tucano A-29, “an agile, propeller-driven plane with reconnaissance and surveillance as well as attack capabilities is made by Brazil’s Embraer.”

Nigeria is expected to receive formal notification within weeks, setting in motion the deal with Nigeria.

They added that the arrangement would call for Nigeria purchasing up to 12 Embraer A-29 Super Tucano aircraft with sophisticated targeting gear.

Nigeria is expected to cough out $600m for the weapon.

I guess Trump administration is committed to doing U turn on Obama's policies. Nigeria was going towards the Russians anyway.

What Nigeria needs is not weapons we need leaders who can think, leaders who are selfless, leaders who can share in the pain of the masses, we need technological advancements, we need a composed system of government, we need a country where even a mad man obey the laws governing the nation. With that boko haram who have no place to stay.. Nonetheless, getting weapons to fight them is not totally bad

I thought IPOB youths said this was impossible.? They said Donald Trump, the Otagburuagu of Biafra, can't sell weapons to Nigeria as punishment for the army's "unjust killing of IPOB protesters".

Well... It seems to me that Trump has turned his back on them even after they voted massively for him in Aba and Nnewi.

Very dumb move especially when you know those behind the boko haram menace,Nigeria is in recession yet spending such monies.boko haram enjoys the support of the people who want their own caliphate,until the govt calls for a referendum for people to choose where they want to belong there will be no peace and no weapon can crush it,the looting continues.
