"When light unexpectedly shines on murkiness, those
exposed by the stinging rays often berate the light
rather
than regret the muck."

texaco1: This doesn't make any sense. There are countries and many arms dealers that will sell arms to nigeria without the approval of the americans.

The Nigerian government opted for a discreet purchase of arms with cash as a desperate measure after the American government allegedly blocked all legitimate arms order made by the military, high ranking military officers and top administration officials have told PREMIUM TIMES.

The Nigerian government had on Tuesday admitted that it
owned the $9.3million cash smuggled into South Africa
aboard a private jet and seized by the authorities of that
country.

The administration also confessed that it was trying to use
the money to buy arms and that it had already opened talks
with the South African authorities on the matter.

But multiple military and administrative officials told
PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday that the government
adopted that subterranean strategy to procure arms after
American officials continued to stand in the way of
legitimate arms order from America, Israel and other
countries.

They claimed the U.S. government has blocked orders
placed by Nigeria for arms and ammunition, thereby
frustrating the country’s effort to defeat the extremist Boko
Haram sect.

“We did it in desperation,” one of the officials said of the
$9.3million cash-for-arms controversy. “All our efforts to
procure arms, tanks and ammunition have so far been
frustrated by the U.S. It is a trying time for our country and
we needed to do something to defeat this insurgency.

“America has kept posturing to the world that they are
helping us to fight Boko Haram. But that is far from the
truth. We have money to buy all the arms we need but the
U.S. has continued to stand in our way. They won’t let us buy
arms and they are also discouraging other countries from
selling to us. They are saying we stand accused of human
rights abuses by human rights group and that we won’t be
allowed to get arms.”

“Just recently we placed orders for tanks and jet fighters and
it was ready to be delivered. Suddenly the Americans again
came in the way. So we were left with no choice than to
explore ways to get arms in the best interest of our country
and its people.”

Another official said, “We are convinced that the U.S. is
playing out a script. They are desperate to demystify
Nigeria’s armed forces and make it incapable of defeating
Boko Haram. And they have an international network to
frustrate our effort to get arms from alternative sources. It is even possible that they were the ones who tipped off the
South Africans on this failed deal. They want their prediction
that Nigeria will collapse to come true.”

All the sources declined to be named, saying the matter is
“too diplomatically sensitive for names to be mentioned at
this time”. The United States Government could not be reached for comment at this time.

Contacted by telephone Tuesday, a spokesperson for U.S.
embassy in Nigeria, Sani Mohammed, requested an email
enquiry, which was sent to him on Wednesday evening.
Mr. Mohammed was yet to revert as at Wednesday night
when this report was published.

The truth is, any transaction the world over that is done by cash, in a huge volume like this and in
this manner can only point to one thing: It is an
illegal transaction or a transaction for an illegal
purpose that is meant to be untraceable. This was a covert,
illegal operation that went horribly
wrong. The position of the Federal Government is a
rooster-and-bull story meant to be shoved down the throat
of Nigerians, but some of us are not fools.

infinitty: kwankwaso and sanusi have determined to make kano state a terror state. Lets not forget so soon that it only in kano that we experienced about five different bomb blasts under 24 hours some time ago, all these blasts started shortly after sanusi became the emir of kano. Now kwankwaso is warming up to contest for presidency under APC platform. So that all part of Nigeria will be proned to bomb blast should he become the president(very impossible)

INSTINCTS: DISTRACTION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.
