SSBN, Defense news Nigeria


Bro, I appreciate you're trying to show Nigeria in a positive light on twitter.

However it is disingenuous to always post unverified content, it's fraudulent to do that, and reinforces the false stereotype that some Nigerians are untrustworthy.

Come on bro, you have a large following on twitter, please stop misinforming people.

Please delete that list of weapons you posted.

Today we have all borne witness and seen the destructive power of fake news.

A couple weeks back i mentioned that SSBN/Defense news Nigeria posting false information on twitter is a national security risk.

This week, events unconnected with SSBN/Defense News Nigeria, have played out, and the result has been people dead, properties destroyed across many Nigerian cities, curfew in place and a Nation on it's knees.

All because some people raised tension through unverified reportage on social media, amplified by the silence of the people in government.


I beg of us all, let us verify our posts before sharing on social media.

Don't post content here or on any social media capable of inciting violence and civil unrest.

God Bless Nigeria.

Shaytun:
Can someone please confirm what type of camera this is

These cameras are not CCTV cameras but license plate verification cameras.
They were removed to prevent vandalization after the curfew was announced.

Is it a cctv camera or an LPR for tagging cars?

This is the thing with fake news!!

Don't we all look stupid now?

PIRIOU Group shipyard today held a steel cutting ceremony for the 1st of 3 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) for the Senegalese Navy. They will be fitted with missile systems by MBDA
which will be a new capability for Senegal.

Odunayaw:
You're making it look like I'm romanticizing sanctions.

Who made the protest turn this way. Isn't it the same government that infused thugs as pseudo protesters and started this masquerade dance? Does one put fire in his bosom and expect not to be burned?

I've been out since this protest started, screaming, praying and pleading, hoping fellow Nigerians we put in power would somehow have sense. What did I get instead? Offsprings of oppression.

We can discuss who started the violence all evening, for weeks if we want, however we are all losing.

The government, the people and the economy.

However we will continue to lose, and burn our country, or we can dialogue, discuss and negotiate a better country.

Let us not forget that nation building is a task for everyone, people and government included.

Whyem15:
Response from the international community has been shameful, not a single word of condemnation.

Well, as a competitor, if I were Angola for example, I'll very much like to see Nigeria burn. I want to sell oil at higher prices to more, and more clients.

Nigeria is a sovereign Nation. Let us not pin our hopes on foreigners who want to protect their own national interests.

Dialogue is the only solution right now.

Libya, Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Venezuela, Iran you will end up burning your country and the rest of the world will lock their borders and move on.

Odunayaw:
IMO

US has another option in strengthening Chad and even France instead.

Either way you want to look at it, its not a straightforward Yes, there will be sanctions or No, there won't be

I agree with you, but Chad isn't exactly a democracy. They also don't have the economy to back up.

There won't be sanctions at this stage, if things deteriorate further yes.

However, with sanctions who really loses, the government or the people?

Since the start of this protest, the naira has been falling against the dollar, who is really losing out?

What this country needs now, more than ever is dialogue.

The shooting and nonchalance from the government has to stop.

The general state of anarchy has to cease. I'm not in Nigeria, but the kind of things I see online and on the news is heartbreaking.

With the way this protest is going, I don't see a winner. The epicenter of this protest is Lagos, not some backwater state, the heart of our economy.

Let's really think this through.

As an investor seeing shops looted, would you want to come to Nigeria? ".........NO way!!!

Whyem15:
All these fake news will make it harder for the true victims to get justice.

Incredible!!!

Does this mean the Governor of Lagos was right?


The power of fake news.

Look at the same thing with the Proforce ARA ii deliveries.

JohnBullMySon:
thought of that. But remember that there is a base in niger.

The Drone base was there before the Tongo Tongo attack.

Also remember unlike Russia or France the US never conducts military operations alone. They always come along with partners.

With the US public already war weary with nearly 20 years of conflict in Afghanistan, all US Presidents would be hesitant to put actual boots on the ground.

So the way of going around this is air support and empowering partners on the ground.

I don't believe the US would halt deliveries to Nigeria, except in the event that things escalate disproportionately.

Anyway we really need to try and build our defence industry.

chkil1:
no submarines , we hear about negociations each time from years but nothing official , maybe spain is putting its VETO for european exporters

Thanks for the post. Well, I don't think it's a VETO problem, they could get Chinese subs. I think it's more of a strategy issue.

chkil1:
they have only one FREMM class frigate .

for moroccan navy they have in service :

6 frigates : (1 FREMM , 3 sigma , 2 Floreal )
1 Corvette ; Descubierta class
many patrollers ( 1 Classe Lazaga , 2 PR-72, 6 B-200D LV , 4 Osprey MK II , 5 OPV64 , 1 OPV70 , 6 P-32 )
4 Amphibious ships , and 1 BHO2M Hydrographic and oceanographic boat.
+ other small ships

7 fighting ships...... Not bad!!!

No submarine?

chkil1:
FREMM Mohammed VI Frigate moroccan navy

142 m , 6000 tons . ( 76mm OTO-Melara , 8 MBDA Exocet ASM , 16 MBDA ASTER air defense missiles , 4 launchers for MU90 Impact torpedos with 19 torpedos on board) . no scalp missile . cost 470 millions euro in 2013

How many do they have?

What's the equipment compliment of the Moroccan navy?

Whyem15:
A Biden presidency will most likely crash the tucano dreams. He is one of the few US leaders who has actually spoken.

Nigeria is a major US anti-terror partner in the region. I don't believe the supply would be halted.

The US sees this sale as protecting US interests in the region.

On one hand we see why it is important for us to develop our defence industry.

Personal opinions of journalists doesn't equal US foreign policy direction.

New to this thread. Just wanna ask who has the strongest military in Africa

Egypt has the strongest military in Africa, followed by Algeria then Morocco.

After these 3, you have regional powers, Nigeria in west-africa, South-Africa in the Southern region and Ethiopia in the East African region.

RemoveKebab:
super yes it can defeat nations without a single shot fired.
How was f35 and b52 created?

Well funded universities and laboratories for research of parts and testing of new tech.

Well funded industrial infrastructure network to supply those parts

Excellent payment schemes for workers and researchers involved in production of those planes(one of the reasons it was freaking expensive)

All this could have been grounded by CORRUPTION with no single shot fired.

They funded all these with how much?

Why don't you tell us revenue generation of the countries in Africa?

The United States spends over 700 billion dollars on defence alone, how does the combined revenue generation in Africa compare to this?

You know what, thinking critically is very difficult, let's just pin it on the easy scape goat, CORRUPTION.

RemoveKebab:
Corruption

So it is because of corruption we don't have F-35s and B-52s in Africa?

Lurker4Long:
Do you mean the 6x6?
The 8x8 is likely to be the Singaporean Terrex 2, which Elbit markets as the Sentinel, pictured on my original post.

As yet, no info for the 6x6.

Alright thanks.

Lurker4Long:
Well done Ghana!

"Ghana’s Parliament approved $86,1 million in government loans to fund acquisition of 19 armoured vehicles from Israel’s Elbit Land Systems.

In terms of the agreement, Elbit Land Systems will supply nine 8×8 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) equipped with Elbit Systems UT30 30 mm remotely operated turrets. The order includes ten 6×6 IFVs fitted for reconnaissance operations.

The acquisition will help Ghana’s military realise long-delayed establishment of two new armoured regiments to be based in Sunyani and Tamale.

In August, the Ghanaian Army elevated 2 Independent Reconnaissance Squadron of the 153 Armoured Regiment to create the 154 Armoured Regiment. The 153 Armoured Regiment is set to remain under GAF Central Command in Sunyani when the new 154 Regiment moves north to Tamale to provide armour support to GAF Northern Command in Tamale.

Planning is underway for the establishment of the GAF 155 Armoured Regiment. The establishment of GAF armoured units is delayed by a lack of funds, logistic equipment and weapons platforms."

Do you know the platform it would be based on?
