Nigeria manufactures military drones, including combat and surveillance models, so why don't the Nigerian Army use them?

SarkinYarki:
Many of yiu are coming across as Terrorist sympathizers because explain why all this talk because the US govt ask your govt to stop terrorists ?


Iran that had nuclear weapon , didn't they bomb the hell out of them ?

There is no evidences that Iran does currently have a nuclear weapon, but if you believe that Iran had nuclear weapon, please post
some links, or evidences on the forum to backup your claim.

Justnation:
Stop this stupid narrative, stop this ethnic composition spewed to support tinubu.

America has 10 times more oil reserve than Nigeria. Trump doesn't need our oil, he wants to liberate the oppressed and marginalized people who are being slaughtered like rams everyday with government doing nothing to stop it.
Enough of this nonsense, TRIBALISM is dangerous and the major problem of this nation

I am not Nigerian, I am from the Caribbean, so please stop labelling every Nairalanders as this or that when you don't even know them. I am not a Tinubu supporter and I have nothing to do with your tribalism problem. Stop being paranoid and try to use discerning capacity before posting on the forum. You are the problem here because you forgot that people from any country are posting on Nairaland. Stop attacking people indiscriminately. You are the one who hate your own. In the Caribbean island where I was born, tribalism doesn't exist, we all see ourselves as Blacks and feel united with every Africans

Trump Targets Nigeria and Venezuela for Oil & Power

And you really think that Trump love you so much?. You really think that he come to help?

Trump is also threatening military intervention in Venezuela.

Now ask yourself the following question: What does Venezuela and Nigeria have in common? Oil, yes Oil. Coincidence?

Libya had Oil, Coincidence?. Iraq had Oil, Coincidence?

Trump targets Nigeria and Venezuela for Oil only. He doesn't even care about you.

The US want also to attack Burkina Fasso, Niger and Mali, so they want to use Nigeria as a base to destabilise the Alliance of Sahel States

Nigeria can gain significantly from maintaining its official stance of non-alignment while simultaneously engaging in a strategic and discerning partnership with China. This approach allows Nigeria to pursue its national interests, attract diverse investments, and avoid being a proxy in major global power rivalries. Nigeria's relationship with China is primarily focused on trade, infrastructure development, and investment, offering significant opportunities in: Infrastructure: China is a key source of large-scale infrastructure investment and a major market for Nigerian project contracting, involved in building railways, highways, airports, and power infrastructure.

Trade and Manufacturing: China is Nigeria's top trading partner in Africa, providing a large market and a source of manufactured goods. Collaboration in manufacturing and technology transfer could help Nigeria reduce its reliance on imports and develop its industrial base.

Funding and Loans: China offers an alternative source of financing for development projects, often with fewer political conditions attached compared to Western lenders, who tend to charge high interest rates on loans to developing nations, particularly in Africa

Education and Culture: There are strong educational and cultural exchange programs, with thousands of Nigerian students pursuing higher education in China.

Trump's Nigeria Threat and The $20 Billion Dangote Refinery Connection

Trump threatens military action in Nigeria over alleged Christian persecution, but the timing coincides with Nigeria's Dangote Refinery becoming the world's largest oil refinery at 1.4 million barrels per day. This Trump Nigeria threat analysis reveals the hidden connection between Nigeria's economic independence, the world's largest refinery, and sudden international intervention rhetoric.

We investigate why Nigeria industrialization through the Dangote oil refinery sparked this crisis right when Nigeria achieved energy independence from Western refineries. The data shows Boko Haram terrorism affects both Christians and Muslims in Nigeria equally, contradicting Trump's Christian genocide claims. Nigerian human rights lawyer Bulama Bukarti's research proves religious in Nigeria targets all faiths, yet Trump Nigeria military intervention threats emerged exactly when Nigeria oil refining capacity challenged global markets.

The goal of the Americans is to create a large US military base in Nigeria to attack the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).

The Real Reason Trump Is Threatening Nigeria

Don't allow any US military base on Nigerian soil

Don't allow any foreign military base on Nigerian soil

Did Vietnam 🇻🇳 defeat USA?

Yes, Vietnam defeated the United States in the Vietnam War

The US Army couldn't beat Vietnam, a very small country. Vietnam's ability to defeat America stemmed from a combination of factors: effective guerrilla warfare tactics, a deep understanding of the local terrain, and strong patriotic motivation

Only a very weak nation will voluntarily consent to foreign military intervention. In the contrary, a strong sovereign nation will never allow another foreign nation to intervene militarily in its own country, as this is viewed as a violation of its sovereignty and a fundamental breach of international law. The principle of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of sovereign states is a cornerstone of the UN Charter.

Principle of Non-Intervention: Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, and Article 2(7) generally prevents the UN from intervening in matters of domestic jurisdiction.

This African Kid Build a SIM-free Phone

Imagine you pick up a phone, dial a number, and it rings. The voice on the other end is crystal clear. But here's the twist, there's no sim card in the phone, no airtime and no network provider. Sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, doesn't it? But it's not. This is the story of Simon Petrus, a young man who didn’t wait for the world to change—he built the change himself. His invention didn’t just challenge technology, it redefined the way people in Africa could communicate. And it all started with a simple, unstoppable question: 'Why not?'

Simon comes from OshitishaHaihonya village in Namibia's Ohangwena Region. Transport happens once daily if you're lucky. Most teenagers here dream of escaping to the city. Simon dreamed of bringing the city's technology to villages like his. Books bored him. Traditional schoolwork felt pointless. But show him a broken radio, a discarded phone, tangled wires from an old television? His eyes would light up. While other kids played football, Simon dissected electronics, trying to understand their secrets.

The United States Secretly Provides Humanitarian Aid to Orania

Reneilwe Morema reports on Orania receiving humanitarian aid from the United States, despite South Africa being cut off from the funding program. The news comes after cars were sported in Orania carrying Elon Musk's Starlink wifi boxes, despite South Africa denying Starlink access to the country's telecommunication, after Musk refused to comply with BEE laws. What is the United States hoping to achieve, if not to cause racial tension in South Africa to settle political scores? Afrikaners are handed flags, resettlement programs, and a hero’s welcome in Washington, while other refugee groups are deliberately rejected. That’s not foreign policy that’s manipulation. The US is actively choosing who to “save” and who to abandon, not out of principle, but out of political strategy. By rewarding separatists, they fuel instability in South Africa, weaponize race, and undermine our sovereignty. This is not neutrality, it is interference.

Africa Just Launched Its Own Internet — And Google Should Be Terrified

How the Continental Internet Exchange is rewriting the rules of the digital age

By Shahjahan Kabir Khan

A historical event had already happened as you opened your eyes this morning and casually checked your phone. An event happened at night that could alter how 1.4 billion Africans — and finally billions worldwide — link to the internet.

Africa has now turned on its own internet network.

For the first time ever, an entire continent has built a digital infrastructure independent of big firms like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. This is not just another tech news piece that will soon vanish from your mind. It signals a major tipping point in the dominance of Western tech companies.

The CEOs of these major tech companies are urgently gathering to address the problem rather than rejoicing.

💡 The Internet as You Understand It

We are made to believe that the internet is a single, connected worldwide system. Though, that perception is false.

Over twenty years, a small group of Western businesses developed the internet. Data centers located thousands of miles away from Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria have to manage every Google search, every email, and every image kept in the cloud. Hundred of miles distant, mostly in North America or Europe.

Consider this: your digital letter you send to a friend in Lagos has to cross the Atlantic before it gets you.

Three major issues Africa confronts as a result of this arrangement are:

1. The cost is high. Among the most expensive in the world, Internet access in Africa is quite dependent on Western infrastructure.

2. Bad relationships— Sending information over such great distances takes frustratingly delayed.

3. Limited Powers In Africa, companies such Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have tremendous influence over the online experience.

🚀 Beginning with the Continental Internet Exchange

Everything has changed now.

Officially launching the Continental Internet Exchange (CIX), the African Union has built a network devoid of Western influence.

Think of it this way: Africa has built its own highway network instead of paying to use roads owned by foreign corporations. We are talking about the digital highways supporting today's economy, but this is what just happened.

The innovative features of this project are:

1. Over 100,000 kilometers of fiberoptic wires have been laid.

2. Forty-seven prominent active main data centers are already in operation.

3. In every significant city across Africa, internet exchange points have been set up.

Nowadays, that data stays inside Africa when someone in Nairobi views a Cape Town website. It is more secure, quicker, and less costly.

🔑 The real game changer: the African Digital Protocol

Although the technology is brilliant in its own right, the actual change comes from the African Digital Protocol (ADP), a new approach to data mobility.

Unlike traditional western-developed internet protocols, ADP does not interact with Google's indexing techniques. Instead, it uses a system of knowledge mapping that emphasizes African languages, cultures, and perspectives.

Here's the relevance of this:

1. Finding African history will turn up results not totally affected by Western algorithms.

2. Information is obtained from local African institutions, researchers, and organizations.

3. Results shown in African languages show genuine African experiences.

Voices from Africa are heard for the first time clearly, not muted by Silicon Valley algorithms.

📉 Google's concern is caused by

Google has established itself as the world leader in information search. Still, should 1.4 billion Africans prefer a search platform that more effectively meets their needs, it would go beyond just a market. It presents their survival with a very real threat.

This issue goes beyond search features. The CIX is now creating African alternatives to Google's whole spectrum of services.

1. Remedies found in emails

2. Cloud Storage Choices

3. Web sites for video sharing

4. Advertising markets

Offering alternatives less expensive and suited to local tastes, Africa is rapidly developing its own versions of all Google's goods.

Currently, African countries spend over $50 billion a year on Western countries for digital services. Through CIX, that funding stays on the continent and helps local engineers, entrepreneurs, and research initiatives. It represents a major economic revolution rather than only a technological one.



👩🏽‍💻 Digital Young People in Africa

The timing is everything. With more than sixty percent of its people under the age of 25, Africa is the youngest continent on earth.

Always living in the age of social media and smartphones, this generation—called digital natives— still must often negotiate systems not meant for them. Today they are developing a digital world that shows their languages, identities, and cultures.

The statistics are quite astounding. Over 200 million Africans relocated to the Continental Internet Exchange in the three days after its debut. This pace of development outshone Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok's quickest expansions.

Why is it so? It basically offers African consumers a superior experience.

🌎 The Planet Is Observing

Though it surely won't be its last, Africa's first step was brave.

1. South America is also looking at creating its own regional exchange inspired by Africa.

2. Discussions are starting in Asia on the establishment of internet sovereignty within its borders.

It may indicate a shift from a single, integrated worldwide internet to local digital systems that give the needs of the people before those of international corporations.

Geopolitically, the consequences are great. Africa has genuine digital independence now. No outside country or company can limit its internet access, levy penalties, or control its digital standards.

⚡ The New Era After Google Has Started

Google has been the undisputed internet leader for two decades. Africa has, meanwhile, proved that an alternative is possible.

Establishing a new monopoly to replace Silicon Valley's place is not the aim of this movement. Rather, it's about highlighting how the internet may be modified to satisfy local requirements, accessible to everyone, and run alone.

Technological development will no longer be decided only by California's corporate offices. Its course will be guided from now on by cities including Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Accra.

The main concern is whether Google can adapt quickly enough to stay relevant in a world where its dominance is questionable, not its capacity to last.

The age of digital colonialism is drawing to an end. This change started just three days ago as Africa decided to take charge of its own digital future.
