Maybe after their discussion they will solicit for more arms and ammunitions from US government. Misplaced priority

That is eh

US that has not solved its multi-dimensional problems from insecurity domestic and foreign to destructive national debt to political wranglings.

And they will tell us they have a National Security Adviser Who even approved such jamboree. The first law of security is that it is local but these f.ools year in year out look for every avenue to loot. That is their priority. Bunch of evil men.

These legacy party PDAPC politicians are a curse on Nigeria. Why people tolerate such abuse beats me. Only witchcraft is why. These are de.mons in power. No empathy. No mercy. No joy.

And the circus continues. I pity the hapless poor people of Nigeria. Harrowing times.

Is this a good idea? Under a corrupt Tinubu administration! Nigerian governments since the return of democracy in 1999 [except for the Olusegun and Yar’Adua administrations] have been known to loot repatriated funds and reserves. I do not support this. The Nigerian people should resist this. Tinubu is at it again. He’s touched OPL 245 Nigeria’s largest offshore oil field benefiting his cousin [actually himself], something his predecessors dared not touch and now this. His CBN governor & Finance Minister are there to give him Nigeria like they did Lagos State. Tinubu has captured Lagos, now Nigeria.

NAF M-346FA

Soon we would be told how we dropped further to 8th place and climbed back to 5th place They’d make it look normal just like we are being told now with the Dollar against the Naira that was under 200 NGN to 1$ now above 1200 NGN to 1$ in 9 years of the misruling APC. But of course praised as an achievement by hired propagandists. What the abused children don’t ask is the quid-pro-quo going on, someone benefits — yes not them — at the expense of the people of course which is what round tripping of the Dollar does by the elements in power.

Can someone imagine what our Armed Forces would be like if the right man is in power. By now we might be talking of a German or Chinese built multipurpose Frigates, Corvettes and what I consider the most powerful weapon built by man deadly Submarines. Who would mess with us!

Gush I hate mediocrity.

GBU-57, or the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb.

I’m not sure the Americans will let the Israelis strike Iran’s nuclear facilities for now nor use the latest iteration of the MOP bombs. It will be a massive escalation. The Israelis already have the Jerichos but chose to only hit the Army radars and Air base in Isfahan as a message of what it can do that Iran can’t do. Get through with precision and be home before Iran knows what had hit it.

Everyone can save face and sue for de-escalation.

MESSRS LEONARDO OF ITALY AFFIRM TIMELY DELIVERY OF M-346 FIGHTER AIRCRAFT

The Vice President of Messrs Leonardo, Mr Claudio Sabatino has assured the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Mashal Hasan Abubakar, of his Company’s unwavering commitment to the timely delivery of the M-346 fighter aircraft beginning with the first batch of 6 expected in Nigeria before the end of Year 2024. Mr Sabatino stated this when he paid a visit to Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Headquarters on Wednesday, 17 April 2024. While thanking the CAS for the warm reception accorded him and his entourage, Mr Sabatino also stated that further engagement between the NAF and his Company would be necessary to conclude other aspects of the project such as the commencement of pilots and engineering training. Speaking further, Mr Claudio assured the CAS that when finally completed, the maintenance of the aircraft fleet would not constitute a challenge as there is a binding agreement for Leonardo’s maintenance support for the minimum of 25 years. He also noted that the manufacturing of the aircraft fleet has reached an appreciable state and is being carried out with the utmost skill and expertise.

The assurance of long-term maintenance support provided by Leonardo was particularly met with appreciation by the CAS, who recognized the inherent value of such commitment in ensuring the sustained operational readiness of the entire aircraft fleet. Reflecting on the journey thus far, Air Marshal Abubakar also acknowledged the challenges overcome and expressed optimism for the future trajectory of the partnership. Envisioning the operational impact that the M-346 fighter aircraft brings to fore, Air Marshal Abubakar went on to underscore its dual role in bolstering training capabilities and augmenting operational effectiveness in diverse mission scenarios. Moreover, the prospect of Close air support, Air Interdiction, and tactical reconnaissance as well as Advanced Pilot Training capabilities inherent in the M-346 fighter aircraft heralded a new prospect for NAF’s operational versatility. The CAS further proposed the establishment of a dedicated Program Management Office, tasked with overseeing all facets of the collaboration. Air Marshal Abubakar also used the opportunity of the visit to reiterate the significance of Messr Leonardo's physical presence in Nigeria as a maintenance hub for their long list of African clienteles, whole also emphasizing the need for close coordination and synergy in achieving shared objectives with regards to the expeditious delivery of the fleet. Moving forward, both parties concurred on the importance of regular dialogue and collaboration as well as scheduling future meetings to delve into detailed arrangements on logistics, maintenance protocols and configuration requirements.

Recall that the Federal Government is acquiring 24 x M-346 fighter aircraft from Messrs Leonardo of Italy in a move that marks a significant step in NAF’s ongoing efforts to modernize its fleet as well as bolster its operation effectiveness. The aircraft is expected to arrive in Nigeria in 4 trenches of 6 each, with the first trench billed to arrive before the end of Year 2024.

Massive tactical advantage for the NAF with the Fighter Attack variant, low observability, capable of transonic flight without afterburners basically somewhat stealth features and standoff delivery capability. The Armed Forces the only sane institution left in the country.

Israel is essentially telling Iran as I predicted we will get through with precision to your nuclear facilities if we want to & destroy it. We will be able to defend against Iran’s missiles the way you can’t against us. Iran will be on the receiving end.

Israel has hit Iran. It didn’t need 500 airborne vehicles nor 14 days to hit Isfahan related to Iran’s drone, nuclear, missile research & production. Israel struck proportionately in response where it wanted, when it wanted it and how it wanted and to think it gave a 24hr to 48hr notice on yet two 1000kg warhead got through to its target with precision humiliating Iran.

Nigeria’s economy falls to 4th place in Africa

No I’m not the one wailing & crying for the next 8 years! There’s nothing to cry and wail for. Add another 8 years of a thief misruling Nigeria and 8 wasted years of a b.uffon Buhari that’s 16 years add it to your age and what you make of that tells if you’re a f.ool or not to continue to acquiesce, tolerate and abide poor governance, fascism, incompetence, cluelessness and retrogression.

Crying & wailing is a stretch. I don’t even have pity anymore except some form of “hate”. I have vowed Nigeria will never abuse me again. Ever!

Y’all can go on suffering that never ending abuse in ignorance by politicians and the rigged system. As Fela will put it “suffering and smiling”. Me not.

It’s a lost cause.

What do you see!

Madness on steroids from the acc.ursed children, sycophants, mediocres oblivious of reality that they have no legs to stand on.

You see one of the reasons President Obasanjo succeeded is that despite whatever he maybe accused of not doing , when he came to power he sat all agents of the levers of power, politicians, the academia, Military Generals, Admirals and Air Marshals and told them things are bleak and they all agreed things were so bad that South Africa outstripped them in every strata of development at the time including the Armed Forces and they mapped out an ambitious plan they vigorously worked hard on and by the time he left office Nigeria was debt free with about 50 billion dollars in total reserves including the ECA and the path to becoming nominally the largest GDP in Africa.

Fast forward to 2015 to date and every gain, prestige, respect economically and militarily have not only been wiped out by the APC and its presidents but put in decline overall. These are facts. The records are there and I’m even modest.

Others are now doing giveaway of premium Fighter Jets we don’t even have while we are still shouting AffffffffCCCC and on your fake “mandate we shall stand” or ronu to nowhere with oil blocks skimmed in broad daylight and contracts awarded to cronies. What a “curs.ed country”.

You don’t love Nigeria if you continue to condone this madness, incompetence and backwardness.

Algeria is the real heavyweight in the region and strings behind Mali and Niger. Nigeria is a joke.
