So what are your takes on the Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam situation? I've spoke to Ethiopians irl and on the internet and many believe that Egypt & Sudan will just sit there and take it with no action. I've even spoke to some that believe that the Ethiopian Airforce can defend against any Egyptian attempt on the Dam. .

One guy even told me that if Egypt successfully attacked the dam Ethiopia would blow up the Aswan Dam and occupy Cairo. When I sked many why are they so confident in Ethiopia's ability to take on Egypt after their defeat in the Tigray region they typically say something like "Egypt has never won a war" or "Do you know our history we defeated Egypt many times in the PAST".

According to just about every Black Person on Youtube if Egypt attacks Ethiopia all Sub Saharan nations and blk people across the world will declare war on Egypt.
Also do you think Turkey take tge opportunity to try something?

orikoku:
I hope this happen in Kenya, if you know you know.

Very very lazy people.... Last time they use the excuse of Nigerians taken their jobs..... But they are just pple who likes free things

Safemoon:
You are very funny . The zoo is the worst country on earth.south Africa have all the basic things we pray and fast for in church.

Things that are miracles in Nigeria are normal in South African. they even jailed a former
President .it's a taboo to compare Nigeria with any country on earth.

Lies and deceit. We all know who built the historyless culturaless wasteland that is now the Colony of South Africa. Over 90% of the wealth, development, and industry in the hands of a 9% elite euro minority. At least Nigerians own there country and successes

ensamy:
BLACK MAN'S WAY: not only SA even in Nigeria and across other African countries. Infact black man in general.
Black Americans do same looting with slightest opportunity.

Kandeed:
It's a stupid black mentality not just in SA but Africa and the world

Stop the "Black"/African nonsense looting happens all over the world everyday by all ethnicities of people. During the American riots of 2020 there where just as many white people looting if not more. It's a state of the community thing obviously poorer communities and places hit by disaster are more prone to do petty looting than the Rich that do there looting in a completely different way.

STOP C00NING!

Rwanda is not the richest country in Africa or the most powerful country in terms of military equipment.
But deploying 1000 troops to Mozambique to help fight Islamic insurgents, shows that African problems can be solved by Africans in the best interest of Africans.

Litmus:
When others research "in-depth" for themselves the text books evidence will be there for them to decide this, not you or me. Ultimately you or i did not go out on the field, researched for years, made discoveries and published our findings. We are shamefully relying on white people's work and as is evident in what you read and what I read, how they differ, they can twist information to fit thire political agenda or peddle contradictory evidence because they are unsure and still benefit from book sales. Besides of this, common sense should tell us migration flows from greatest numbers to lowest. Igbo number approximately 30/40 million in present day Nigeria. Where the are now in Nigeria is almost certainly their original homeland.

Litmus:
The Migration start-point was centred in the east of Nigeria encompassing the part of Cameroon near Nigeria. I read this in numerous books taking their sources from competent researchers in the field. For some reason, the start point of this migration has been steadily shifted to Cameroon in contemporary literature. I personally believe that this shifting of the start point of the great migration from what is now Nigeria ending in South Africa to from Cameroon to South Africa owes more to political tinkering, perhaps some of these bogus Afrocentric Kemet, Nemet, Queen and Kings type works etc, than any new findings in the fields. The problem is that Nigerians don’t seem to take these things seriously because Nigerians are ignorant of how important they are to National grounding.

Odunayaw:
I really wish we had that here

Litmus:
Bantu are originally from Nigeria, actually. The start point of the migration to South Africa is located in Nigeria and some parts of the area of Cameroon near Nigeria. As a youngster I had tons of Anthropological literature that stated this. But I guess politically motivated books (and Black scholars doing bogus research) of recent are revising history.

Fight banditry, insurgency, not Kanu, Umar tells FG


A former military governor of Kaduna State, Col. Abubakar Umar (retd.), on Wednesday knocked the All Progressives Congress and Federal Government led by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) for giving undue attention to the arrest of leader of Kanu than the banditry, kidnapping ravaging the country.

Umar argued that it was disturbing that rather than concentrating on insecurity threatening to cripple the country, the Buhari regime was celebrating the arrest the IPOB leader.

The former governor stated this in a statement titled, ‘Nigeria: A nation challenged.’

Recall that Umar lost his commission in the Nigerian Army as a result of his principled stance on the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election acclaimed to be won by the late Chief MKO Abiola.

He said on Wednesday that the Federal Government must go beyond the arrest of the Kanu and pay more attention to more security challenges threatening to cripple Nigeria.

Umar argued that for the average northerners living in the North-West and North-East, who had been affected by the activities of banditry, kidnapping and insurgency, the arrest of Kanu had no consequence, “since it does nothing to ameliorate his harsh and brutal condition.”

He said, “The re-arrest of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, elicited congratulatory messages to the Federal Government which appears overwhelmed by the intractable security challenges and in dire need of any redeeming act.


This is clearly an exaggeration of the security threat Nnamdi Kanu and indeed IPOB pose to our nation’s security and unity. It is quite strange and disturbing that the Federal Government is paying undue attention to the threats of separatist movements in contrast to the more daunting ones posed by bandits, kidnappers and insurgents in the North West, some parts of North-Central and North-East.”

He lamented those activities of “those criminals have resulted in the evacuation of over 20 per cent the villages in the North-West and North-East. Hundreds are being murdered and maimed every week. Many more are kidnapped for ransom.”

He said, “Over 1,000 schoolchildren were abducted in the past eight months with over 300 still in the hands of the bandits and kidnappers who are demanding humongous ransom. Rape of women and young girls has become a daily occurrence. Most economic activities, particularly farming, the mainstay of the people in these areas, are now all but impossible.”

Umar counselled the government to deploy non-violent means in addressing the growing restiveness in the South-East of the country.

He, however, noted that “IPOB and its leader may well be responsible for some of the violence, including the murder of security personnel, arson and destruction of public and private properties for which they should be held to account.”

While touching on the unity of the country, the former governor argued that Nigeria was better as one and indivisible entity than disintegration.

The former governor carpeted the Buhari regime for not processing the skills in the management of the nation’s diversity.

Truth be told, the Buhari administration has so far exhibited poor skills in its management of our diversity. Yet it has the benefit of great examples by past administrations and statesmen which should guide it,” Umar said.

RiceProducers:
The Nigerian Airforce got $1b.
So it is essentially NAF budget.
I guess at least 6 MI 35M, possibly the rumored new M346FA, maybe six more JF17.
Lots of UAVs.
The NAF has never been comprehensively financed like this since Nigeria became an independent Republic.

Interestinhly, most aircraft manufacturers are now asking for 100% upfront payment so we are not going to be seeing procurements in 3s and 4s any longer.
We would be buying in squadrons.

kabe1:
Nigerian Air Force is getting $600 million not $1 billion.

Unsurprisingly as the are by far the most effective branch of the military.


I agree that the remaining 7 MI-35M helicopters would be gotten.

I think more JF-17s and at least 2 additional MI-17 helicopters would be purchased.

Nigeria would not buy M346FA with this money as we really don't have a pressing requirement for that aircraft at this stage.


Nigeria might continue to buy aircrafts in 3's and 4's as we consider infrastructural development to be more important than military spending.

There won't be a wholesale investment in the military at the expense of infrastructure.

kabe1:
I agree that NAF has a long term replacement plan for the Alpha Jets. However that replacement would not be done with this fund.

NAF would not buy additional UCAVs with this fund either, we already have 8 units which have been paid for, also existing UCAVs in service.

Remember we lost a couple of light transport aircrafts, some of which double as ISR aircrafts. They need to be replaced. I can count 3 units lost.

There is also a need for additional Skyhawks (MI-35m), including MI-17.

We need to order an additional batch of JF-17s.

So these are the areas NAF would most likely spend in my opinion.

fachfouch:
Not really but it have many problems... including a civil war that they're losing

joscofelix2:
i think it is on the national interest of usa for us not to get that plane fast. J17 delay was due to it upgrade in tech

fachfouch:
but Tunisia getting outranked by failed states does raises many questions GFP is never been a reliable source regarding Tunisia it have many mistake like the number of active soldiers and so on... it's true that Tunisia economy is small but it relative to population it's lower mid income so it can withstand a lot better than many countries ahead of Tunisia in the list...

joscofelix2:
A29 aircraft left 81st fighter squardon usa for nigeria on sunday or monday(intel on the date not know) the first aircraft numbering 2 aircraft with desert colour landed kanji airforce base. excorted with two fighter jet. intel review that delivery will contiune to end of the month.. but j 17 came without fighter jet excort from paisktan but a29 was excorted with fighter jet. God dey sha

Waited years for a dozen turbo props while a dozen of F16s, F18s, and F35s are completed a month. I hope now that the qualified pilots are ready to go they themselves can educate future pilots so any possible additional orders can arrive much quicker. Same with the J-17s

Lurker4Long:
It is 19:35 here in South Africa, and the police have until midnight to arrest Jacob Zuma so he can be jailed to serve his 15 month sentence for contempt of court.

With a crowd of supporters - some armed - outside his estate vowing to violently resist, it is going to be a long few hours.

Fortunately, the police aren't taking chances.

Like I said bro, whatever makes you happy makes you happy.

Stormtrooper11:
I'm a patriot too. I've read all those stats about our country alot of times, but what are good stats, if they don't reflect on the people.
People are more hungrier today than they were six years ago. We have a wide economy, still our people are not benefiting. Nobody is saying Nigeria is poor. No. We are saying Nigerians are poor. Today alone, I've met two people well dressed coming to me to ask for money for feeding. I just gave them the little i got. People are hungry. I don't know how 2023 is gonna be. There might be anarchy.
Our economy is growing slower than the population. Someone once posted how much we earn as a country in a year. Its low.
Right now, tens of millions of our population haven't eaten breakfast. Nobody is happy with this poor conditions. People are going to bed without dinner. The few middle income population who eat three square meals are considered lucky.
We have a poor population. What's a country without its population? Its failing

GabrielYulaw:
Okay bro. Whatever makes you happy

And you couldn't refute a thing.
Remember facts don't care about your feelings child. Reality want change just becuase your uncomfortable with it. But hey believe whatever helps you sleep at night just don't try to force others in the waking world to believe it

Iriruaga100:
Sir, Nigeria is a failed state because everyone including me and you decided to be docile! Six years ago we were not so much in this mess we find ourselves as a nation. We elected a nomadic president without no clear cut ideas and vision on how to rule a diverse nation.
Today, we have some marauding terrorist killing and kidnapping people everywhere they go. All the gains that was made economically and otherwise has been eroded by the nepotistic terrorist sitting in Aso Rock.
Nigeria is at a crossroad! We need men and women of goodwill and of great conscience who will put the project of Nigeria at the forefront before their personal gain. We don’t have sincere leaders rather what we have are dealers who are ready to profit on anything.

GabrielYulaw:
In this day and age when there's serious talk about colonizing Mars and voyaging beyond the stars it's a d1ck measuring contest we want to do here. I'm seriously ashamed. I thought we had grown past that stage.

That said, anyone comparing Nigeria to Ghana should have his/her head examined. Nigeria is verging towards a failed state if it already isn't and the countries it should rightly be compared to include the likes of Afghanistan and other sh1tholes of creation. That's the truth, no matter how many here will allow their misguided patriotism to lead them into saying otherwise.

PetroDolla2020:
nigeria is a certified shiithole. END OF STORY POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD NIGERIA BLA BLA BLA WHEN NIGERIA WAS GOOD IN THE 70s and 80s, we all saw it. Today, I can proclaim to idiots like you that nigeria is a shambolic shiithole. end of story. yes, it is painful to admit that your country is messed up. but that is the reality you have to live with when was the last time you heard any good news from that zoo?

DubaiLandLord:
Mr. Man, stop all this unnecessary comparison.

Iriruaga100:
Nigeria is a shithole yet the people have better purchasing power the you Ghanaians! In this current age and time Ghana still import meat in large quantities from China! Meat that is surplus here. Ghana borrowed grain from west Africa store house for their farmers. Up till now Ghana is yet to pay back the grains they borrowed.
It’s shameful that in the whole of Ghana you just have to fire trucks that can fight fire in a real time situation!
Ghana is so poor that she is seeking for investors from Rwanda! A country still recovering from 1994 genocide! Ghana is the definition of a begging nation headed a the Akyem mafia.
Ghana just have one dual carriage road in the whole country from Accra to Tema. Just one dual way in the sakawa nation.

It always amazes me when I see Ghanaians and CERTAIN other African countries so passionately calling Nigeria a $hithole when Nigeria/ Nigerians outperforms them. By that logic whenever they try to lower Nigeria they also lower themselves It's like a man missing an arm & a leg laughing at another man for missing a couple fingers.

I Wish The Best For All Of Africa

DubaiLandLord:
What subject are you talking about? You and I are not having any discussion. You have been giving a bloody nose by the Cameroonian, go and face him.
