Is America paradise? Russia has always had our back. Its propaganda that made Nigeria to affiliate with the US when it obvious we aren't benefiting so much. As far as I am concerned, America is doing us less. Yes, we need that kind of signal to the US. In fact it's coming at the right time that we can see that South Africa is lesser than Nigeria. The western world will only try to make South Africa superior. And when the real game starts, be sure that Britain is right behind Nigeria like Olumo rock and all EU will follow the terrain. Now that Russia is behind us, we just need to manage Islamic episodes very well so that Russian partners in the middle east will not be angered. That's all. Can you imagine that weak Jonathan swallowed all to the extend of smuggling in raw cash to South Africa just because he wants favor from the US. America blocked all ways to buy weapons but wants us to follow their rules. Nonsense! That's how they frustrated Iran to the stage those ones started making nuclear weapons.

Is it America that keeps taking millions of naira for Visa, yet denying Nigerians are who to depend on? The US Visa system is the poorest. Cant they follow the way Britain and Canada are doing it. Yet they will start saying we are problems. They are their own problems. Just imagine. 1 min visa interview. Is that normal? And that's the biased way the country does everything she believes is right. No one can correct her. No one. But they always learn from affiliations like this. US is about losing Nigeria. I just pray someone as stubborn as PMB succeeds him. Osinbajo looks stubborn too. He has the gut if he has the power. Not people who will go lick US a.s.s.

It's obvious you didn't understand what am saying..your opinion though

President Muhammadu Buhari has looked to Russian President, Vladimir Putin, for much needed military support to combat the resurgent Boko Haram terrorists in the North-East.
Citing a report on Kremlin’s RIA news agency, Reuterssaid PMB will sign a Military Technical Cooperation deal with the eastern European state in the Russian town of Sochi before the end of October.
Nigeria’s ambassador in Russia, Stephen Ogbah, said, “We’re sure that with Russian help we’ll manage to crush Boko Haram given its experience combating Islamic State in Syria.”
The Buhari administration had in 2018 paid $496m for the purchase of two Tucano jets from the United States, which it said would be delivered in 2020.
According to Ogbah, Nigeria is interested in buying Russian helicopters, planes, tanks and other military equipment, adding that a draft version of the deal had already been finalised.
He added, “We hope President Buhari can take the talks to their logical end. The agreement will open new possibilities in such areas as the supply of military equipment and training for specialists.”

ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria will protest to the United States over conditions imposed on its planned $494 million purchase of 12 A-29 Super Tucano fighter planes, Defence Minister Mansur Dan Ali said on Thursday.

It is ok to be anti FG or show displeasure because your owner is in jail for crimes against the people of Nigeria, but lying and shady journalistic practices against the FG and playing to your new ipob base shouldn't be your default .

Common sense should tell you that it's absolutely impossible to pay almost $500 for 2 Tucano when F16 Fighter jets, sadly, these kabukabu news outlets know the sad and pathetic nature of the ignorant and unintelligent Nigerian youths, they don't think, they don't read and they are not knowledgeable in anything, whatever they read is what they run with and ignorantly peddle.

Sad..

Was it US that created the insurgency?? How many aids and weapons have they given us?
the US never gave us weapons bro, they even compel Isreal and South Africa not to sell arms to Nigeria during the Peak of Boko haram insurgency, Nigeria had to turn to the Russians who welcomed us with warm arms, it was Russian weapons that was used to Liberate 19 local govt areas that was formally under Boko haram control.

Actually from the look of things your the naive one here.
And please we don't have any arms deal with China for fighter jets. But if you say we do can you please tell what class of jet they would be selling to us.
We all know that what we have in our arsenal when it comes to jet are old alpha jets and some dasults and these have been relegated to being used as training aircraft's in some countries.i agree that corruption would still affect the purchase but we can not eliminate the fact that it's still a wise military deal
C'mon let's face it the USA would not even sell their f18's to their close Ally turkey but just last year, Russia sold to us their state of the art Mi helicopter.
All I am saying is that corruption or no corruption ehh we can't keep hoping on the east bloc.


Nigeria bought Chengdu F7 jets from China in 2010. 15 units, I believe.

The deal included purchase and training of Nigerian pilots.

Do your research well. Syria would have become like Libya if not for Russia.

The US under Obama was on the wrong side supporting insurgents against the Syrian government. Russia stopped the madness and helped to quash the Islamic state in Syria.

Under Obama there was a lot of mind control as the main stream media only reported what the US government wanted people to believe.


Assad is devilish regime as putin in Russia...

See contradictions oo! grin America isn't paradise, you don't like the US but want their Visa, And complaining about their one minute visa system? You don't seem to get it. The US don't want nigerians with their frauds in the US, You say Nigerians are not the problem? yea right! grin you obviously didn't hear about the 80 Nigerians Arrested in the US on fraud Charges, Including A notorious Nigerian fraudster called Invictusobi. grin or maybe you have a Memory deficiency,

How many Nigerians wants Russian Visa? you wouldn't want to go to Russia either.


All this Hate just because America Refused you visa?

Even with the one minute Visa, thousands of Nigerians would still flock like headless sheeps to queue for hours under the hot skin burning Nigerian sunshine to Apply for and waste their Money on US visas. I don't see them doing the same at the Russian embassy. grin

Nigerians are obsessed with the US, wether you agree or not.

Sorry, if they refused you visa After a minute interview, They probarbly Believed you are a Fraudster. grin Besides you Hate the US Anyway. so i am sure you can survive without the US.

You are just bla bla bla bla bla. And you are the kid who needs education about international affairs and history. What has the US been able to do to Iran and North Korea? Has the US not tried many times and failed to crash China? Their drone brought down in Turkey, what were they able to do? And like US is holy, haven't we seen that Trump uses other nation to bring down his opponents? US is not the holiest country sir. Nigeria is still the giant of Africa. Its just that "our head never correct". If we return to the drawing board and organise ourselves well, its US that will be begging us. You think Nigeria is a small nation? A nation with over 200 languages? You need real education. Like I said, you are a kid just running your mouth without control saying bla bla bla bla bla.

We are talking of buying weapons for the security of our nation to fight Boko Haram, this kid is talking about spitting US. Your m.u.mu never do about foreign affairs. When it is, I will know.

US is a powerful nation, no doubt. But blocking us from buying weapons to fight Boko Haram is another thing. And who says it's a crime to buy weapons from Russia? The AK weapon we are still using, who sold those rifles to us? You better go read about Iran and N.Korea scenarios. So because US is a holy nation, we should throw away Russia which has been our long time partner? Russia which has been supporting us for long? Go and ask Gowon who helped him win Ojukwu. Lol. If he had waited for the Americans, maybe he would be in his grave by now. Did heaven come down after Gowon patronized the Russians? O boy! You need serious lecture on this issue. So save your laughter for yourself. You need the energy to laugh at your ignor.ance.

am talking about a war on Boko haram insurgency and you are here displaying US war ships? Those destroyers were not sold to Nigeria for the purpose of the insurection in the north east, NNS thunder operates on sea making it useless in the fight against boko haram as there are no seas in the north East and it can't maneuver on lake chad, secondly those harmless mine resistance vehicles were donated in 2016 during buhauri's tenor and we all know that it was during GEJ administration Nigeria was heavily plagued by the activities of Boko haram and needed formidable weapons, giving me a harmless mine resistance vehicle is not an assistance for me to use during combat when I know you could do much more better, but give me attack helicopters and multiple rocket launcher like the image Bellow, then i will know that you are giving me good assistance, that isexactly what the Russians did.
