So the USA is GOD now that no one can refuse a gift from them.This is the servant boy mentality i hate about Nigerians.Why do we always idolize everything western.They tell to sit ,we sit ,they tell us to cough ,we cough.Yikes no wonder Africa is so backward.

When will we learn to grow balls like the Arab world who tells the west to stuff it? Have you ever asked your self why they is no black nation that is progressive in the world? Look at Liberia , Sierra leone e.t.c The westerners come cause havoc ,supply weapons and the dumb darkies will kill each other to kingdom come.The only thing black countries are good at is begging for handouts.We do not try to build our nation ourselves,we always want one western country to helps us financially or otherwise.

It is the same mentality that made IBB borrow money from IMF and sink our nation in to pit of excreta it is now.

Ramifications my yansh ,so if the USA dashes us nuclear bombs ,we should also accept it with open arms? It is you who should think before you post.

Can't believe I'm reading such drivel in a non-tribal thread. That last paragraph is just out of this world. Good luck to whoever is attempting to educate you. They're going to need it.

Can that boat be used to re-ignite the fishing industry in the Niger delta? with such boat, we can recruits all the militants into the fishing industry and GEJ the fisherman can head the industry just like he headed the "invisible" power industry.

It's true what they say. Ignorance is bliss.

Too many ignorants on loose on nairaland. Go check d commisioning dates of d air craft carriers of India and Brazil then come back and tell me what age has got to do wt their wellbeings. US Enterprise led d war against Afghanistan and Iraq, how old/new is it? Many other countries get such military aids frm d US and Nigeria's is no exceptional. Even China gets such frm Russia.

BTW, how r d brand new Chengdu fighter planed frn China doing?

You don't know!!!

Two have crashed na!!! One of the trainers and another of the fighters. . .within 2 months. . .

I still wonder why they chose the Chengdu J-7 fighter-introduced in the 1960s and mass produced in the 1980s with production stopping in 2008; very outdated design, armament and airframe. Reminiscent of the Russian MiG-21s of yore! Incidentally we paid $220 million for 15 F-7 fighters; thats about $14.67million per plane.


When there were more modern options to chose from.

Chengdu J-10 Fighter


Chengdu JF-17 fighter introduced in 2007

Incidentally the JF-17 Fighter has a unit cost of $15million. So why no just buy the more modern option!!! Besides, for thouse who know airforce fighter terminology, the F-7 fighter is just a third-generation interceptor while the JF-17 is a fourth-generation multirole fighter. . . in plain layman's terms, its like saying Nigeria went to buy a tokunbo car and could have bought the 2005 Mercedes E-Class but instead settled for a 1984 Mercedes 190. Now isn't that stupid!!!
Anyway, like someone said, how many war we wan fight before our opponents rubbish us!
