Nothing to be wary about. You settled it with your bolded. It is a superb platform. Period. The USAF can buy what they want. Nations choosing to buy certain items over others is their sovereign choice to make and in terms of weapons systems does not reflect poorly on the choices of others. Everyone buys according to their needs.

It's only amateurs on the internet and paid hacks by arms merchants that troll on the internet about such matters while in real life other factors at play determine arms purchase.

The Americans often buy exorbitantly and wasteful and sometimes buy just for pride. They'd rather buy something else than use the A-29s that is the preferred COIN platforms for most Air Forces worldwide to appear special and end up of course wasting tax payers money. Most of their own elements want those A-29s but the culture is eaten so deep to appear unique from others. Take an example of the F-22 Raptors soon to be retired because of maintenance issues and other technological factors. This aircraft hasn't seen real heavy air superiority combat for which it was built and for which it has sunk billions of dollars. What a waste. Even stealth generally has been exaggerated. The Russians can pick it up with their Su-35s. The Germans have already developed radar that can detect stealth aircraft and aren't even interested in the F-35s rather buying more Typhoons.

[/b]In the case of Nigeria the NAF buys after extensive vetting by military intelligence tasked with generating the necessary intelligence about the military, diplomatic and geo-political advantages of such weapons purchase vis-a-vis technology, cost, maintenance, firepower of such assets over active and potential enemies. We don't have the kind of money the US military has to waste so we tend to buy smart. The A-29s are deadly beasts in the air and we are just fine. Thanks. [b]

It's always been a swinging pendulum of claims and counterclaims since 1999. Tribalism is deeply ingrained in the average Nigerian. As you rightly said, na to solve our constitution issues and restructure that's all.

DubaiLandLord:
A lot of Nigerians don dey too overhype this Fulanis dominance.

During the time of Ihejirika as the COAS, Northerners(Fulanis,Hausas, Kanuris etc), Muslims from the Northern part of Nigeria to be precise where wailing about Christianisation .

There was a year like that, wey admission list into the NDA was release, in some Muslim majority states like Kaduna and Kwara, more Christians was giving admission compared to the Muslims. The Northerners including Fulanis were wailing seriously that year

All am trying to say is that, nah because a Fulani man dey power, nah why e dey be like this, once the vegetable leaves in 2023 and a southerner takes over, then all this Fulanis causing trouble about will be ruthlessly crushed.

A Nigerian president is so powerful. I just hope any southerner that takes over in 2023 really make restructuring his main objectives even if it will lead to war. Things can't continue this way. Things just dey spoil dey go since 1999. How much was a bottle of Coke sold in 1999, compare the price to that of 2003,2007,2011,2015 and 2019, then you go see say we are not moving forward.

Some northern states go as far as sending their officials to screening grounds to verify if each candidates from their states are actually indigenes.
Some years back some group petitioned the COAS and Army HQ that many non-Zamfarans made the cut for NDA taking Zamfara slots. When I saw the petition I laugh tire and their reason was that the candidates had Christian names.
Nigeria matter complex no be small, the only system of governance that I think will ever work in this clime is regionalism(Weak centre and strong federation units) or something similar to what is practiced in the U.K.

The Swiss model but tweeked as a Federation so all the component parts of the Federation has a go of the presidency in a single term of say 5 or 6 years. We went the UK route in the 60s it got us a civil war. Let's do something us.

AND this guy made JOSCOFELIX come out of his intentional typo disguise. Everyone should please stay calm.

Sizzorkay:
I see we have a new escapee from the asylum again. Make una calm down. Jeez, why do we need foreign enemies when we won't stop biting each other's head off. Lord. No be to leave simple comments for naira land? why the hot temper? Them dey pay some of una?

Blueelf:
You guys thinking that regionalization and federalism is the answer. Let me ask you dome questions.

Who will lead the different regions when this restructuring is carried out? Is it not the same tinubus? Or Kalus? Or amaechi's? Or Buhari's?

Do you guys think that having regional governments would automatically make the leaders of those regions saints? Have you all actually thought this through?

Will regionalism automatically kill corruption? Or will it automatically strengthen security in those regions? Is it not these same regions that have been producing senators, rep members and ministers? What have these senators, rep members and ministers contributed to our country?

Make una dey deceive una self you hear...

Nigeria's problem is mostly the kinda people we have.....corruption, nepotism seems ingrained in our DNA...

Let us see whether the Yoruba's won't start practicing ethnicism even in the regional governments or the Igbo's or Hausa's or Fulani's...

They will say "this Yoruba is egba and they can't rule or this Igbo is Afikpo and isn't pure Igbo".... No be Naija again

Can someone confirm and analysis this Apc vehicles, and the thermal camera from secPro Africa.

Illumined939:
The way the fulani tribe is worshipped in the military is scary. You even see southerners in the Army, doing everything to take sides with the north. And I'm talking southern colonels and Brigadier Generals. Well, maybe the promotions are important to them, as it takes good grace to get promoted in this Army serving the interests of the caliphate. For the Ipob guys killing soldiers, freedom is not granted freely. Self determination is a universal right, but rather than the Nigerian government organising a referendum,
they choose to send soldiers to bully and kill. So, I wont condemn the ipob guys fighting the Army. The igbos aren't slaves. Infact, no human should be subjected to slavery. In the final analysis, there is nothing nationalistic about the Nigerian Army, it is just an Army serving the the interests of the elites of the caliphate. If you die fighting for the Nigerian Army, you died defending the interests of the elites. And these elites really do not care about you.

DubaiLandLord:
I can still remember the election slogan on the street of ikorodu back then in 2023, no one could point to any meaningful change done by OBJ, but they were screaming "Omo wa ni, e je ko shey".

Sometimes people come up with this suspicions forgetting how interwoven our marriages has been.

I am Edo with my mum from Borno state, I have a mixture of both christian and Hausa names too.

Tomorrow someone could claim I and others like me are from the north been patched to deny southerners their slot as tribalistic people say.

CaptainStephen:
What do you stand to gain by peddling falsehoods?
