I have a high opinion about Yemi Osibanjo, he represents Nigeria better than Buhari who has been seen rarely outside of Aso Rock for a year or so.

dragon2:
Very well then

dragon2:
Never head of QE, quantitative easing? Fancy way of printing cash out of thin air without actually printing physical cash. Devalues a currency. Everybody suffers but the most productive nation remains and you lose the value of your credit. It's a stick the U.S. could use.
Very large low interest rate debts to financially unproductive and reckless states with money of which very little stays in the state I would classify as a debt trap.

Borrowing money to a successful business man is good business for both. Borrowing to a drunkard and serial gambler with large assets is to set up a trap for him.

dragon2:
Hence the statement "If true".
Concerning the U.S. It's a completely different story if you print the money in the world's most powerful and productive country. The pieces are on your table.
You can't really owe somebody money you print,and you can sanction that money back into your coffers trump style.

dragon2:
If true,another reason to be wary of the China debt honey trap.

Nigeria won't buy the sanctions vulnerable Turkish helicopter or the untidily developed Indian Chopper that cannot be supported with enough spares and maintenance. They will use a phantom airbus chopper acquisition to flash the Americans.
Eventually they will buy US made AH1Zs

kemicalreact:
Why don't we go for the Mi28?

Nemesis4you:
This will do too

But what if the lion doesn't stop with the hunter and eats the historian too

I think NAF is waiting for the production of the JF-17 thunder block 3, that comes with AESA radar, and other stuff, and place an order for reasonable numbers, I don't think the NAF has eyes on other Jet fighters, America will never sell the F-16s to Nigeria, and I don't think we need it, because American equipments comes with strings attached.
Or maybe NAF is considering the Chinese J-10, but will China agree to export them?

Roan77:
Understandable, but I think there is diversification of weapons by the Egyptians recently, they are no longer relying heavily on American weapons, although still depends on American military aids but I understand your point.
I rate the Algerian military too.

iblawi:
There is nothing to prove the bolded because US have nothing to do with it. Besides, AH can't replace a fighter jets and we haven't heard of any other fighter jets with similar roles/capabilities that the air force is interested in.

VICE PRESIDENT OSINBAJO: "..The Super Tucanos have been delivered, and of course, we’re looking forward to the helicopters as well..."

FOREIGN MINISTER ONYEAMA: "..We have a slight issue with some attack helicopters, but that’s more on the legislative side and not on the executive side..."

Ethiopian prime minister Abiy Ahmed at the war front.
The Ethiopian army is in possession of at lest 6 Bayraktar TB2 combat drones..
Recent weeks have seen Tdf /Tplf suffer heavy losses and loose strategic towns they had captured.

We got a saying which roughly translated means - who owns the stick owns the bull

Egypt the best ever in Africa.
