Igbos will not be happy with their daddy Trump because of this news. How dare he build a military base in the 'zoo' to support the 'zoo' soldiers crackdown on their people? cheesy





Can we please have an end to this 'lets laugh at ipob' nonsense.

Yes, we are not supportive of ipob', but that does not mean everything is ok in this country, or that your APC government has done the right thing by all of us.

Lazy poster, you can not even google the picture of the plane.

Btw, it's not a jet and the topic is facilities for the plane, not for jets.

Achievement is relative depending on who is looking.

Even commissioning wheelbarrow and sharing kerosene are achievements to some people.

I don't do conspiracy theories or black helicopter on the roof at night fear mongering, but you are titled to your opinion though.

Why can't the A29 be supported and based in our existing Airforce Bases .. What kind of hardware purchase is this ? Buhari will surrender our sovereignty to America and China soon because he doesn't think thing through properly .
They don’t think before doing anything in this country, until things went wrong, check all countries purchasing arms and military hardwares from US they’re into one or two chaos because of sabotage, they will systematically exploit your country military with everything

For the first time in our history, we are getting a world class air force base with world class facilities, airfield hot cargo pad, perimeter and security fencing, munitions assembly and storage, small arms storage, a flight annex wing building for simulator training, airfield lighting, and various airfield apron, parking, hangar, and entry control point improvements.


This is part of the 12 A-29 Tucano package that we've already paid for.



Trust the US, China, Russia, even UK at your own peril....
.
Nothing goes for nothing where they're concerned... US eye dey to militarise and have their base here... Something they've always wanted!

Insecurity which was fueled by them is the excuse.. Mission accomplished.

Yes my opinion, but when anything went right or wrong do not forget we both literally going to feel the impact, there is nothing like fear mongering doing anything with country like US you have to take caution in order for them not to exploit you.

This is coming after Trump had a change of mind for the lifeless man in charge of Nigeria.
I think Trump considered how helpless the lifeless president of Nigeria is, considering the fact that the lifeless one has not been aware of his existence, so, Trump just pitied him.

All in all, it is good news for Nigeria.

Let's be honest with ourselves the A29 super tucano was specifically designed for counter insurgency so where do u want it to be based if not in the north?

Everything does not have to turn into ethnic wars. No part of United States should be used as a listening post in any African country.

So it is modern and first class because it is foreign. When is anything coming out of your villages going to be modern and first class?

The last I heard, USA is carrying last in the world on Covid-19 cases and death, even behind Nigeria. We need to help them out.

Wonderful news. With this airbase, we will project our military might over the Atlantic. Some narrow minded people will say the money is better spent in other things, but the truth is, as a soveign nation of over 170 million people, it is paramount to have a strong military so other countries will think twice before starting a war. You see, war does not announce itself, you have to be prepared at all times.

As the most populous Black nation on the planet, Blacks all over the world are looking at us for leadership and guidance. Blacks in the carribean, U.S, Latin America and Erurope believe Nigeria is the real life version of the mythical Wakanda. Chadwick Boseman will be bragging to the angels right now like, those are my people down there in Africa doing great things. RIP Black Panther.


Nigeria's military influence ends here in west african we can never be able to challenge any western nation we are buying all these figher jets from.

This is why the whole transaction was government to government transaction. We gave them our shopping list, they gave us a price, we the US government directly, they gave us a receipt for our payment.

For that we are not only getting 12 fully equipped planes, weapons, training, software package, simulators, hangers and modern base facilities.

This is our you attain a standard, well equipped, uniform and professional military.

Gone are the days when we give billions of dollars to first men, middle men, last men and so on to purchase military hardware and end up with obsolete, used and decommissioned military tools.

The last Alpha Jets we bought were decommissioned jets from private collectors, they did not even have bomb racks to carry or fire weapons, we had to engage aftermarket people and even Innoson here in Nigeria to reconfigure the jests for military use.
