when i saw it i did not think of it that way, but the idea of Lagos having a police helicopter is actually funny. having an air chase in naija is so cool,
officers driving: eagle 1 wer u day now?
helicopter: forget that guy i day go check out Ghana!!!
lol.
any ways naija is great development is slow but sure,
n as i alwayz say
IT DEPENDS ON THE PRIVATE SECTOR,

i ask people, if u come with 12 million dollars n say u want 2 build a road , granted they may not name d road after u but which idiot in power will say no? if u build a hospital and donate it to the government will they refuse
? never, so somtimes instead of runnnig our mouths we can contribute 2 national development!!!! yea , if u dont like smtg dont come here and start hating on people posting pics, go change it.

For example buy the aircraft carrier!! naija will say a big thank Sir!!!lol

Honestly i dont understand, this post is not made for people to express what they will do as PRESIDENTS. OR wat nigeria shuld do with its money or so on

IT IS 2 APPRECIATE THE MILITARY!!!! END OF STORY!!!! TAKE UR ISSUES TO ANOTHER FORUM
THIS IS FOR NIGERIANS TO OBSERVE AND APPRECIATE, INFORMATIVE COMMENTS N PICTURES!!!!!

South Africa Southafrica, they are always boldly saying 50% of the population is poor , 90%+ are "the owner of the house" @ lordangers , yet (they)-(90%+ the strangers^{At Lordangers}) have and are producing such weapons.

no body is unnecessarily blowing Nigeria's trumpet all we r saying is a little wow, cos most African nations dont't have up to that and pls i said most, 40/53 at least is still most. So if Nigeria is trying to get its priorities right y be negative? People are hungry, homeless, without regular light and drinking water, plus the regrettable corruption here and there, regular crisis, and u want them to go and buy such expensive stuff?|

for ur concern with the soldiers in fact from the pictures and in reality those going on missions are well equipped no-one sends them with hunter's gun. that's why like i mentioned there are allies and organizations like UN and Au fyi.

@ Beaf , u fail to realize that those country's need/unfortunately get their priorities wrong. Iraq is recovering from a "genocide"wants to prevent the daily bombings, make more impact on the terrorists by getting advanced fighters wen almost everywhere is still with smoke, that's their problem they need to get their priorities wrong for wateva,

First off you were the one who said you were proud to have an all black leadership. In most other countries they strive to have equality where you arnt blocked off from politics for example just because of your skin colour. You dont like any non-blacks in your leadership. You said that, not me.
I gave respect to the slave trade. I said it was bad but we stopped it (because we knew it was bad) and tbh you never bothered to stop your own slave trade in Africa. Today it is reduced which is great but dont stick two fingers up to America and say it is a super-power merely because it had a slave market. I mean look at Africa, where's its super power?

oh ok, if u guys are nt racist why don't u allow a Nigerian into the throne of England and /or become your prime minister? Does it mean u r Racist , no! because its ur country. you won't build a house and leave a total stranger to come live and control u in YOUR house, would you?

Our best jet fighters are based on a plane that came out shortly after WWII (15 Chengdu F-7s from China). Our best attack helicopter is the Hind (Russian, Apache is American).
This is our air force website. Its packed with assorted junk and planes that look like bicycles, what a disgrace! You can view it here

This is an F-16. Where have you ever seen such a plane anywhere near Nigeria? Shocked Shocked

Ironically, this should be a thing of joy, the ADAMIC planes Nigeria has is sufficient for any military negativity that may come their way from any normal and reasonable enemy. In case you have not realized that's why they have allies. Of which America is one of them in case of worse danger, they(Nigeria) will  hold them of with their so-called "spoons" while America comes to help with their swords.

It is very funny also cos if Nigeria was wasting money on such expensive Armament,you will be the same one;s complaining that people are hungry and don't have light, blah, blah.blaaahh. So leave them alone let them stabilize common amenities like light , water, food jobs e.t.c then they can get "your heart-desired " weapons. and your HOUSES, your Houses will be the first testing fields for the  newly acquired bombs.

You must be so proud to not be able to look behond someones skin color

I want to believe you are not insinuating i am racist.  am a realist , and i do not judge people by their skin color,or nationality.

Even nowadays you have a slave trade in Africa again, to a far greater extent then anywhere else on the planet

     Pls give some respect to the (THE) slave trade, where people wer packed like sardines for weeks living on bearly nothin, no need to go into that it serves no purpose.

a supposed nation which uses its military to terrorise and massacre its own people (biafra, Odi, Zaki Biam, Niger delta)

For me , ironically i find it funny that u guys make such remarks, because i wonder how perfect the other countries who you guys love so much have been to their people and others outside the life's they have destroyed, in many different WAYS , pLS all "normal ''people here, including our dear poster, know about the downs of nigeria, (Noting , Ur statements are barely true) but we want to publicize the good on this thread, pls take the bad of Nigeria and the good of the "Perfect" countries u love so much to another thread , oh or better still their national website lets see if the perfect people will allow u to do that.

a "nation" that has never defended its territory from any external attack,

ok yea for America , pearl Harbour, 9/11.- which they did nt defend themselves at all, help me list more? WAT?
have u nt been reading this post?

Liberians, Guineans, Sierra leoneans, People of Soa Tome and Principe, Sudan , Serbia, on and on cannot express their gratitude for the Nigerian influence to their present peace. Pls go and die for one of the countries, u take a pick just like the soldiers who died there did. that is international security that is international peace, that is why Nigeria has the respect of its neighbors and does nt need /have threats, but rather they equip themselves for further humanitarian missions, oh did i forget to mention , Congo?

Incase you have nt realized our current population when divided can fully fit about 4-5 of our surrounding neighboring countries so therefore internal unrest is nt strange, but they r equipping themselves to stop such Problems.


^{Now i realize} This is the wrong thread u wer looking for Afghanistan right? wer a guy in the military is helping kill his cozin and classmates in the Taliban? Thats ur people right there!!!!!

It is very necessary for Nigerians to travel outside. u talk of local champions? When u come OUTSIDE u realize Nigeria is actually great!

one cannot compare America and Nigeria. they are simply  incomparable! if we had their ancestors for almost 400 years of slave trade , build all the road networks, our "Black House" in Abuja, bus system, rail ways, primary military and other amenities, probably we will not be doing those things now we have returned to build our country!

What of Southafrica?  The person who posted the picture of the equipped police is nt even ashamed of the color of the person in case u r suffering from temporary blindness the person is white.For ur information if u remove the white influence from southafrica they r nothing. Look at the top 4 banks in Africa for example the top 3 are south African_ ALL FREAKING DUTCH CONTROLLED but to the best of my knowledge i do not think the CEO of Intercontinental Bank- Nigeria is White, the no4 , actual No1 In Africa operated by Africans.When u allow the white people to control you that is wat u get A well developed military equipments and all. Another Example is senegal. They don have close to the whites but the whites are getting their maximum resources!


no one is saying Nigeria is the best but don't compare wrong countries , Nigeria to the best of my Knowledge had Biafran war, Niger delta crises , and other daily problems, but still has this? All those criticizing what have you honestly done to help get the dream weapons? After all people like bill gates started from his father's garage so u do not need millions do you?

Nigeria like every country has its up's and downs, but as a 90% black controlled country deserves praise and credit for such development even if they are minute.Slowly but surely we will get there if u give Nigeria 400 years of slavery time lost plus 50 yrs i think America of now will nt be a village but a HAMLET.

We have work to do but if u do not recognize your accomplishments the country can never move forward. the bad is always more than the good. the Bad is always published everywhere, someone tries to publish some good  and all people can do is post nonsense? post southafrica stuff on their website, get their passport and join them as a black maid or houseboy cos that's wat all the blacks are doing if u don't know.]

Thank you dear poster , you realize Nigeria is not perfect has so many Problems like the irritating ignorant fools bark about it but you post something useful and hopeful and those with proper brains will see how to improve what we have as we are still the greatest REAL AFRICANS with all our Alexander the Great  weapons. thanks man u r a true Person not just patriotic but u have lot of common sense which i have seen is very uncommon to some people.

Can u imagin comparing a country that virtually has the whole world as their enemies with Nigeria? why don't u compare baby us and its mother UK? Pls keep us posted i enjoy the pics. The country i live in in Africa does not even have a military airport. And they believe they are the best in west Africa.

Pls for God's sake don;t "Quote "" me in the box thingy, just reply @ me and type your Quote it is ignorant and illetrate and foolish to repost what i posted entirely. Thanks No dis-respect intended.
God bless Nigeria We have 400 years + i think America was nt near this 100+ years after Amerigo Vespucci discovered it.
