America, Nigeria deal is largest in Africa – US EmbassyPublished on July 9, 2021By Wale Odunsi



The A-29 Super Tucano deal between the United States of America and Nigeria is the largest defense sale to an African country.


The American embassy made the confirmation on Thursday in Lagos at the end of a five-week Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCET).

The training involved U.S. Army Special Forces and Nigerian Navy Special Boat Service (SBS).

The SBS, one of the strongest military units in Africa, is Nigeria’s naval elite fighting force and often likened to the U.S. Navy SEAL.

The first batch of the Tucanos is due in Nigeria this month although there are speculations that some have arrived.

In May, the Embraer Defence Security Incorporated (EDSI), manufacturers of the aircraft, hosted a National Assembly committee led by Senator Michael Nnachi.

Col. Authur Ford of the U.S. Air Force Fighters and Advance Aircraft Directorate disclosed that 10 out of the 12 were ready for delivery.


Insecurity: Presidency discloses date for delivery of Tucano fighter jets to Nigeria

Ford said the remaining two were undergoing modification and integration to Nigerian Air Force (NAF) specific operational configuration.

The officers said six Tucanos will be delivered in July and the remaining six in October. Fourteen NAF pilots have been trained at the Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.

The armed turboprops will be deployed against Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) elements.

In 2018, Nigeria paid $462million for twelve Tucanos and other weapons. The payment covers Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) systems for six of the aircraft.

The fighter jets will have Paveway II guided bombs, laser-guided rockets, 12.7 mm ammunition, unguided bombs and infrared sensors.

The contract also provides for ground training equipment, mission planning systems, mission debrief systems, spares, ground support equipment and support services.


Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps are scheduled for extensive programs in Nigeria beyond pre-COVID levels.

The engagements build on a longstanding security partnership, particularly in the Gulf of Guinea, the embassy said.

Nigeria participates in multiple bilateral and multilateral military exercises with the United States, including African Lion, Flintlock, and Obangame Express.

The U.S. and Nigeria cooperate on maritime security, military professionalization including human rights, counterterrorism efforts against Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa, defense trade, and strengthening governance.

you have to know a lot of things about a lot of things to appreciatively engage me! You actually believe that a white man will actually on any given day give a black man a "great deal"! if you believe so then you a truly naive or just being disingenuous .........Americans are alpha capitalists and they will steal the whites from your eyes if you give them half a chance.
I live in the USA and I know how these people roll..........dem no send Africa or its people, as far as they are concerned Naija is a parking lot and they do not want china nor Russia parking their assets here..........500 million dollars for 12 turboprops! mba.... we could have done more with that amount of money.

OneTemplate:
This is another problem with Igbos. Casual and patent personal dishonesty borne of the need to always look for hate in the eyes of others without realizing you are the personal embodiment of hate.

Show the above in my post and validate your claim or accept that you prove my very point that Igbos are a self-destructive and hypocritical people. I have over 1.5k posts here so get digging and prove we all jubilate killings of unarmed and innocent Igbos.

Igbos are self-destructive? you must be mentally retarded to say that! fighting your corner is now a mental condition....you want us to remain slaves abi.....ee no go work!

TheChameleon:
E pain am!

e pain you more for rear end...... fulani toyboy!

deji17:
Your opinion, devoid of facts.

Of course its my opinion ! now you lay down your own facts which I doubt you have!

Eastlink:
Which IPOB. By introducing Judaism, quack history, toutism and terrorism into Igbo consciousness.

There is freedom of worship in Igboland the last time I checked, history is by and large subjective.....all you need to do is to issue rebuttals to any teachings of MNK you do not agree with. Ok, we should become pacifists and be rendered homeless by marauding Fulanis just like the hapless benue indigenes ! bros you no get case!

Nyamiri:
Go and collect your properties from Ikeerre, Etche and other people in Port Harcourt.
You didn't learn from how Gen. Ogbemudia handled Biafrans, you will learn it again.

Ogbemudia is Igbo you Fulani heathen from Guinea.........which visa you take enter naija sef?

Eastlink:
You started well and ended abysmally. Which useless IPOB are you giving thanks too? Check up Nairaland and you’ll see the efforts notable Igbo put into that awareness right from 2007.

You people should be careful how you hype that demonic political group that plans to make all efforts worst than they met it. Instead of you to ask question and be enlightened you are giving glory to a scammer who only bask in the euphoria to gain followers.

How old are you if I may ask? And what is your academic status. I might forgive you if you are an illiterate, but a graduate should stop being spoon fed by things he ears. The same way you watched YouTube videos to ascertain the truth, is the same way you should make your research to know your ethnic group. Are you aware that Chinua Achebe talked about the Bonny/Opobo people in his Things Fall Apart, where they used Ikem for me but to the Umuofians it sounded like Bottom.

Keep time to educate yourself as no one will do it for you.

no body has done more for Igbo nationalism than IPOB.......100% FACT No carry dis your ipob criticism enter public anywhere in the south east o!

techwaya:
Woow tell me more

the guy is hearing double o! today's astounding revelation dealt them a severe blow to the brain, he hears100% Igbo and his brain tells him it's Ijaw.

CXLVII:
Let Ijaw people catch you! You know war runs in their blood

They will wipe off your lots from the face of the Earth

I am certain you have an idea of what they can do.

lol ! kai kai and explosives do not mix!................ Ijaws must be suicidal then, ndigbo will help them on the way to hell!

Ariani:
That has always been the plan before the charlatans and their "suplim lida" aka Ezeonyeagwanam came up with their Babelian Biafra with unrepentant minorities( especially Ijaws ) who has no single iota of remorse for their sins against Ndiigbo but are still boasting and preparing to do more if opportunities arise.

MNK and IPOB may have plans and strategies you are not privy to but one thing is for certain they are far more courageous than most of us E-warriors, for me there is something admirable and noble about someone staking his life on what he believes in, unfortunately, we Africans have no idea what perseverance and determination are anymore............IPOB is lock, stock, and barrel Igbo...!! Your attitude sucks and smacks of immaturity, who exactly are you making fun of, its attitude like yours that makes the Igbo nation easy picking for our adversaries! If IPOB is going to die please allow the organization to fade away ....desist from washing our dirty linen in public........what's the matter with you people for Pete's sake.

paramakina202:
IPOBs should stop quoting me on this thread.Go and read my first post.

Ok but this is a rare decisive victory for Ndigbo, in fact, it is a complete knock-out victory on nairaland, let us savor the triumph in peace....OP may God Bless you! ahead ahead to Bonny, I hear our nairaland special forces have secured a beachhead! let the tanks and artillery roll in,!!!

paramakina202:
This is Igbo/Opobo cultural thread.Take your scam IPOB to another thread.

do not sew your seeds of division here! check your caustic tongue before you derail the topic

dvdwed:
Igbo and folly are 5 and 6.

this Ijaw they are speaking, sounds suspiciously like Igbo O! who do we deal with first? Fulanis or Ijaws ? these 2 peoples have eaten our lunch enuff! God will punish Lugard !!

AdakaBoro8:
but you said you have nothing to discussed with me na..... cant you stand by your word?
mean while criminal just repent

Ijaws keep falling hands everywhere, to think they ruled this country for 6 years and were spectacularly unable to do anything for themselves, speaks volumes about Ijaw capacity as a people...............imagine Ijaw comparing themselves to Igbo, I blame Lugard sha...!

sarrki:
Ironsi, Ojukwu and nzeogwu all regretted their actions

Kanu regretted his actions

So be calming down

o, shut your trap...........!

TheChameleon:
Lol. What of chestbeating skirt-wearers?

I believe they are talking about closet 'gaybriels' like you who fantasize about straight men wearing skirts......better go back to your Fulani patrons' motel room for another session of "beat down"!.....mumu man!

sarrki:
Only cowards back out of a course after he or she might have misled millions of people to their early grave

Ojukwu is a coward

Ow on earth will someone fight a country and backed out after millions of innocent, children and women died ?

Bros its like somebody laced your plastic prayer kettle with rum and vodka...........you are just spewing rubbish dis nite!

Ovamboland:
What is the value of the thousands of rounds of ammunition, bombs and guided missiles that is part of this deal? What is the value of 5 years of spare parts, maintenance service deal also part of the contract sum?

Are the cost of ammunition, maintenance and spare parts included in the ticket price you get off the internet?

oga go and ask the saints in the pentagon that spent hundreds of billion dollars equipping a 300,000 afghan army that wilted in less than 3 months of Taliban fire, incidentally, the so-called Tucanos we bought is what the afghans have been using for years against Taliban..........who come win in the end? The Tucano is a slow flying plane designed for close ground support.................which army are they going to support? the zoo army renowned for mowing down her own citizens is totally unfit for serious and sustained battles. An army of questionable loyalty.....we do not have a standing national army....these ones are just fulani body guards and thugs............the British just converted the slave raiding sokoto caliphate calvary into your west African frontier force ...........which metamorphosed into the nigerian army........its DNA remains the same, a mix of British imperialist and sokoto interests commands the mercenaries in that useless force. For nigeria to prosper the nigerian army must be defanged and restructured totally.


A useless army that cannot defend her people is no army!

Ovamboland:
So it was Trump that pocketed the money? Or what is this one saying?

the issue we are discussing is way beyond your league, run along and go watch bbnaija.......nah dat level you dey !

KillMNKnow:
Poison the Terrorist leader slowly

you will rot in hell first before Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is gloriously called home at a ripe age of 100 years!! mumu woman wishing ur betters death!

NGpatriot:
Village ipob, we did not deal with any US defense industry and we did not pay 1 kobo to the US defense industry, we wrote a check to the US government and they gave us a receipt.



This is the US Federal Register where they entered the transaction stating exactly what we asked for, what they agreed to give us for our money and an official US government receipt so who stole our money?

Or do you mean the US government stole the money and sent PMB's share to him in Nigeria?

Your village square education was a waste of time and effort.

Corruption wears a totally different set of clothes in America, you must be a complete dolt to think that 12 units of A29 Tucano are worth 500 million dollars. The Pentagon is the biggest bazaar on this side of the planet...........the corruption is bare, in the open and declared! for Pete's sake you are talking about the most capitalist state in the world. I bet the moronic Fulanis signed and delivered all documents immediately the American govt agreed to sell the planes to them.no haggling, no negotiation.............no wonder we have crude oil, and the misfits in Abuja sign approvals to their folks to import petrol. Do you actually believe you are smart? you still gat someways to go niggur !

olaolaking:
I will change -
Our orientation.
Your orientation
If you move all Nigerians to USA and move all USA to Nigeria, in 10 years, Nigeria will be like USA while USA will become like Nigeria.
My orientation

Orientation is the reason why we arw like this.


The people who are complaining of corruption are doing so because it doesn't favour them. When it begins to favor them, they say it is their time.

The people who are complaining about the lawmakers getting so much money will not complain again when their brothers or family members become a lawmaker.

If any lawmaker refuses to pack as much money as possible, his people, his supporters, his family, etc, will complain, they will say the man is just wasting opportunity and chance.

If a lawmaker cannot build several houses in hometown, Abuja, Lagos, people will abuse him.

The same people complaining about police attitudes will do same things the police are doing the moment they join.

Who is deceiving who?

The reason while we dont have power is because of our orientation.

The reason while soldiers are harassing innocent civilians is orientation. All civilians complaining will do the same thing if they join army.

The reason while new brt busses get damaged quickly is because of the orientation.

The reason while fuel importers are import 5 vessels and but tell government its 17 vessels is because of the orientation ~ even you will do the same If you get chance.

The reason while some people send our imported fuel to Benin republic so that they can make more gain is because of orientation - you will do the same if you get chance

The reason while the millionaire in your street wants you to give him attention and respect when he is driving by is orientation - you will also do the same thing.

The reason while the people who have small power oppress the poor is because of orientation. You will likely do the same.

Nobody is born with a particular positive orientation, the kind of orientation you are talking about is inculcated via acculturation and education! we are indiscipline in Nigeria because we learnt it from our parents who learnt from the prevailing culture in Nigeria.

benikad:
I remember a time when the president of Chad led his soldiers to bombard boko-haram since then no terrorist group near chad again.

But look at us the so-called Giant of Africa Bandit, Boko Haram is using us to catch a cruise.

I really love this country a lot both most Times I feel so sad due to the incompetency and our corrupt leaders

It won't take a serious government anything to neutralize this animals

Sir your love is highly misplaced!

JAOS:
Repentant bandits indeed
We now see why these people always have easy access to schools and travellers it is likely that they are also in the government
We pray other region are prepare for what will come down from the north

bros it is like you just woke up now? this is what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been screaming from the rooftop since 2015, Nigerians can keep hating on IPOB, one day Nigerians may look for IPOB and ESN and una no go see dem!

karkel:
Buhari has been milking this country like a cow

the fulani have imposed an infidel tax on the dummies in southern nigeria!

deji17:
You probably think an Azubuike will do a better job? This is bigotry.

You know exactly what I am talking about, Hell will freeze over before an Azubuike is given the chance to lead any Nigerian defense ministry! the evidence is clear and overwhelming..........Fulanis have been in charge of the defense ministry since 1960...........our defense capabilities are subpar compared to our potential, in fact, it is downright shambolic.... being politically correct will not cut it!

Juliusmalema:
Nnamdi Kanu should be help responsible rather.

All the videos of guys carrying guns he keeps showing us, who are they?

While Shehu Garba statement is condemnable, Ipobs should also take a portion of the blame.

dis mumu again ! go and complain about the bandits with GMGs and rocket launcers who are kidnapping and raping students ! poo bag!

Ezewuzie01:

Apga doesn't need Ipob to win. Ipob is an organization of clowns. People who are saying no election. Anyone who partners with them is already a failure. Andy uba is not a threat even with his rigging abilities,, he was defeated in the last senate election and this November 6 election is a stand alone, the eyes of the whole world will be fixed on the state that day. Andy uba will be disgraced as usual.

Ok nah ! IPOB are clowns abi, but you will instead kneel down for Fulani to do with you as they please! give it to Wike he knows how to deal with APC..........you can never lose when you align with your own people's true wish, we shall see November no far o!

Chikeluba25:
I 'm anxious for your success- Buhari to Andy Uba
The no election call by IPOB will really favour APC. IPOB will endup clearing the rod for APC to win come Nov.6

The mission is to take Anambra a 100step backward like Abia and Imo state; so Ndi-Anambra will be frustrated to lead the Biafra agitation the way Abia ppl are doing today.

Then APGA as a matter of urgency should go ahead and engage the IPOB, throwing diatribes at a behemoth like IPOB will not help, it is time to play grand politics............ Soludo is adept at this game and he knows what to do!

Juliusmalema:
Massage their Ego and move to crush them.

Only fools will believe this trash and the fools are IPobs.

They will be shinning teeth because presidency said they have ammassed weapons not knowing it a glorifying statement and if not refuted the same presidency will capitalise on it to move brutally against their acquired double barrels.

Men need sense but Ipobs lack one because they are already cursed.

You are and will always remain an odoriferous poo bag! that is how useless you are! no one ever sees you condemn Fulanis and bandits that are killing xtians on an industrial scale but whenever it's IPOB, you will carry your big belly filled with doo doo and come here to post trash! you quislings make me sick!! sabo......! the ignominious fate of all sabos await you.
