Yeah I know what I'm saying is, I don't think the "Chief of Naval Staff" should be meeting with "a commander of one of the US naval fleets". They might be of the same rank but there is a difference in their work positions. Like what I'm saying is, he should give reception to the likes of the Chief of Naval Operations, US Navy and Secretary of the Navy, US Navy. While in the case of the commander of the sixth fleet of the US Navy, he could have just sent a representative - maybe the FOC Western Naval Command.

What ship is that in the first pic? Looks like a coast guard vessel with the racing stripes

Exnavyboy62:
Ok I understand that they are both Vice Admirals, but is it right for the "Chief of Naval Staff of Nigeria" to meet "the commander of the US 6th fleet". I mean come on, he should have sent a representative, maybe the flag officer commanding, Western Naval Command.
The only time he should meet with anyone is if it's his counter part, let's say the Chief of Naval operations, or secretary of the Navy of the US.

Yeah, we're sane here in Nigeria

And I hope you're not smuggling all that sexist incoherence under racism too

That's some serious stuff being acquired by junta dictator Assimi Goita ostensibly for the fight against terrorists but in reality for regime preservation as its with all unelected usurpers of power. His trained special forces eye is gleaned on ECOWAS and a potential invasion.

Clearly that guy continues to dig in from the start and exported his putschists credentials to Burkina Faso and now Guinea with backing of of no less Wagner elements and the Kremlin. Shouldn't have been allowed to happen, one of the failures of President Buhari's foreign policy in the West Africa sub-region & Africa in general except for The Gambia. Mali must be reined in.

Someone need to start asking these questions publicly and demand answers on what military planners are thinking. Methinks the oil theft is still an existential crisis for the purse of the nation and the hierarchy of command is simply responding to task however I agree we might just be making the same mistakes of the past not preparing for the worst eventualities. A compliment of sea going missile ships, A Frigate & submarines for strategic deterrence in the Gulf of Guinea is long over due. The electorate and the informed should escalate the need to those currently running for president of Nigeria.
