Honestly, I don't understand. A human being claims he is a Nigerian and indeed holds Nigerian passport. But any positive news about Nigeria is always a source of tears and sorrow for him. They are many, some of them will soon show themselves because of this indigenous military hardware manufacturing company.

The reason is because of too many years of propaganda and deception. People now feel nothing good can easily come out of Nigeria. This is the result of many betrayals by the elites and politians.

I leave you with the Biblical quote "Can anything good come out of Nazereth?". This was because of what Nazareth was known for in terms of evil as at the time.

High time they add rockets. Will be the game changer, especially drones/UMV that can fire rockets.
Exactly, I know they produce drones(gulma drone) but can't remember how far they have gone in the project.

Not evil...... Nazareth was a nondescript town with very little population and nobody or nothing of influence at the time....
The town was just there nothing happening...

So a prophet coming out of there was big

If this export has been going on for years as shown, then what is still the problem with the naira?

Exactly.

But the good thing about this is that Nigeria now has well-established domestic capacity for high grade weapons manufacturing, which means she can easily ramp up production in a war situation, or if she experiences sanctions etc.

Very few countries in Africa have this capacity.

Missiles nko?

These guys are manufacturing based on what the Nigerian military tell them they need.

The army wants to establish Strategic Land Dominance, as a priority. So they’re wanting APCs more than anything, right now.

So u mean what Obi and Atiku are doing today is because they don't love the country?
What they are doing is politics, same thing Tinubu did those years.

So it was politics and acceptable for APC to threaten nigeria with forming parallel government.

So it was politics and acceptable for APC to threaten Nigeria with civil war.

So it was politics and acceptable for APC to invite armed bandits/militias to come destabilize Nigeria.

So it was politics and acceptable for APC to urge the international community not to sell arms to nigeria to combat terrorism.

So it was politics and acceptable for them to facilitate the kidnapp of school girls from Chibok, and also love the news and spread it around the world just the way other are doing now about negative news.

If all these are politics to you, then you fall with a certain class of people who play politics without principle. Burning the country is politics to you nazis

Maybe Nigeria started in 2015 for you or maybe you are practicing selective amnesia. Google is your friend.

You can bring yourself up to date on what happened between 2012-2015. Also check his tweets in 2014, 2013, 2012...they are still there.

If you are sincere about knowing when and how, then use your phone to search google and also check his tweets back then.

He tore down Nigeria and was unhappy when good things were happening in Nigeria?

Nigerian Defence Industry Manufacturers Display Products In World Exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Nigeria’s defence industry has made a remarkable presence at the World Defence Show 2024, a global event that showcases the latest innovations and technologies in the defence sector. The show, which is being held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from February 4 to 8, 2024, has attracted over 1,000 exhibitors and 80,000 visitors from around the world.

Among the exhibitors are two Nigerian defence companies: Proforce Defence and the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON). Both companies have displayed their products and capabilities in the fields of land, naval, and air security, as well as engaged in networking and business opportunities with potential partners and clients.

Proforce Defence, Nigeria’s leading indigenous defence company, has showcased its range of products, including drones and armoured vehicles. The company posted on its social media channels that “Proforce will be showcasing cutting-edge solutions in Land, Naval and Air security at the World Defence Show in Riyadh from February 4-7. Visit our booth, Hall 1 south-G3.3 to learn more about how we’re advancing security solutions around the world.”

Proforce Nigeria Armoured Personnel Carrier


Some of the products that Proforce has exhibited are the Ara 2 MRAP, a mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle that can withstand blasts and ballistic threats; the PF-2 Armoured Personnel Carrier, a versatile and modular vehicle that can transport troops and equipment in various terrains; and some of its drones, such as a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle that can perform reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition missions.

DICON, the state-owned defence company that manufactures small arms, bullet proof vests, light weapons, and the Ezugwu MRAP, has also visited the World Defence Show, but it is not certain if they have exhibited their products. DICON is responsible for producing and supplying weapons and ammunition to the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security agencies.

The Nigerian government delegation to the World Defence Show comprises the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Dr Ibrahim Abubakar Kana, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, Director-General of DICON, Major-General Effiong Edet, and other critical stakeholders of the Nigerian Armed Forces and exhibitors from the shores of Nigeria.



A statement by the Ministry of Defence said, “While going round the exhibition stands, the Minister pointed out that the aim of the global exhibition was for participating countries’ Ministries of Defence to meet and share information and ideas on the latest defence systems.”

He said “major international defence companies like DICON and PROFORCE from Nigeria and others around the world are participating in the exhibition in addition to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Defence.”

Yep. He said he never believe in one nigeria.

He sponsored protest at the best possible time we could have removed subsidy.

His party threatened to form a parallel government.

His party men confessed to inviting armed bandit/ militia from other parts of africa to nigeria just to destabilise nigeria.

I can go on and on....oga use Google if you are having selective amnesia.

And all these happened when we had the best economic indices and we were amongst the top 5 growing economies in the world.

Btw, indomie noodles is 18k now. USD is N1600. When you finish replying me, go out there and touch the grass. Comfort yourself as per this is the Nigeria you want, right? Nigeria is good now, right?

Stop being sentimental.

Tinubu was part of NADECO and fled Nigeria at risk of his life.
He has treasonous charges against him and would have been executed if found.

Also, if I say I don't believe in one Nigeria, does that make me an enemy-- someone who becomes unhappy when good things happen?

Dont be silly.

You claim Tinubu sponsored Occupy Nigeria?
So he was responsible for the Nationwide protest?
Like I was not alive when it started.

Besides APC was formed after 2012 and not before.

Was he responsible for the Arab Spring too?

Or is it Labour Party or PDP that are responsible for the protests we have had so far this year.

'His party this, his party that...'

Is Tinubu members of his Party?

Is Obi, his Party members that are stealing money?

Dont be silly!

Just to say, if you did not know.
Jonathan was a horrible leader and the indices we enjoyed were from the governments before him.

If people like you are unhappy when good things are happening in the Country, then you are the enemy!

Search your Soul and deal with it.

Africa ain't matching the world in military equipment and warfare until weaponry capable of feats that theirs would never be capable of, such as repositioning of incoming missiles back to its sender source, capturing of all forms of incoming projectiles for deflection, redirection or spatial dumping. Real time cloaking tech and teleportative capability. These are stuff that can be achieved by R&D into our respective esoteric knowledge but which no one is interested in except to be copying and regurgitating a mockup of what the West, Asia and all other true nations have done. They will beat us in any war games of their own design because they own all the fundamentals by which every hardware was manufactured, and learned tactics. So until we start thinking outside their box to create weaponry that redefines how battles are fought, and territories are defended, we can never ever match them. That can only be achieved in an ethnolinguistic homogenous nation and never within a colonial contraption as we have in SubSaharan Africa. During the Battle of Kusk Salient, the greatest tank warfare ever fought, the best of Russia and German technologies clashed, of course there were other important factors. However no one copied one another. I'm not here to argue blindly. It's my opinion, respect mine as I'll respect yours so no insulting.

This person is the first to comment after the OP.

Do you notice how he is trying to change the narrative?

Nobody has said a single bad word but he is trying to subtly attack a particular group of people who have EVERY right to complain about the way the country is being run.

Anyway, he is a brand new moniker so it's clear that this is an old urrcchiin in a new body.

Like one of the two local defence industries (I don't want to mention the name), most of the people working there are underpaid, and I they don't treat their workers well. Even common overall that even road side artisans do buy I share for their boys to work in the workshop, a company as big as them can't provide for their factory workers.
