This is just story, but not withstanding enemies of Nigeria, you are happy the United States refuses to sell weapons to Nigeria?, Egypt’s human rights record is 100x worse than Nigeria’s but yet the United States gives Egypt $1 billion dollars every year for the Military because of a deal tied to Israel, yet you rejoice when they deliberately try to make your country weak? but you still want to prosper in Nigeria, Yet you wish bad for Nigeria?
Mad man you are for failing to see reasons for such decisions but only for you to bring up Egypt for justification at the expense of more people ur dullard is gonna kill to fill ur own pockets politically via corruption!

Saudi Arabia is worse that Egypt and Nigeria put together, but USA doesn't mind selling to them.

Perhaps if Nigeria does what Saudi does Nigerians might be pleased. We can start by cancelling the democracy we fought and shed blood to gain, and crown bubu or the next president since bubu is old already, king for life, if just so we see if we prefer that.

Ipob opinion is not global opinion bros. A mad man thinks normal people are mad, so do ipob terrorist think others are terrorist and they are innocent people.
See one of the terrorist leaders here, the real shekau is dead, we are still thinking of what to do with this one

Also in Islam which is the bedrock of violence and terrorism, we see things like these especially when the fake paedophilia prophet promises that the rapist allah will give terrorists especially the suicide bombers a playboy mansion but the idiots will use tnt to blow off their prick, so how will they enjoy their 72 virgins?

Buhari has through his actions exposed his authoritarian personality

USA sell a lot of weapons and also give military aid to Egypt yearly. Is the regime in Egypt a democratic one? In the past 30 years all the regimes that has ruled Egypt have been authoritarian with bad human right records just like buhari's regime.
They also produce and sell weapons to Arab countries that don't practice democracy.

So,why should they refuse to sell weapons to Nigeria because buhari's regime is authoritarian and doesn't respect human rights?

This is a call for Nigerians to be more productive just like the Iranians, Pakistanis and N.Koreans.
We should stop replying on others for everything we need and make things happen by ourselves.

Also these, this is the ultimate goal and dream of all devoted muslims, they want to enthusiastically carry out rapist allahs wish to kill and maim innocent people to get enough pointed breasted virgins in paradise. Isis, bokoharam, taliban, alqeda, bandits, fulani herdsmen, etc are all real muslims following the footsteps of their disgruntled and disgraced mohammed who died like a dog with his tongue sticking out, saliva gushing out of his mouth and his eyes all dead and was naked as he was killed by the potent poison served to him as he went to rape the jewish lady. It didn't stop there, pigs exhumed his decaying body and ate half of his petrifying carcass including his scrotal sack.

No! Not all Nigerians, let the people who need the weapons produce them, we can't be wasting our time to support known islamic terrorists in Nigeria. The weapons we will make is only the ones we need to defend ourselves when the diabolical islamic terrorists invades us.

lol. No. I just feel we should go ahead and start patronizing these countries jare. It's just that I don't know what the repercussions will be.




There won't be any repercussions. I guess it's because the two countries have long standing relationship.
Russia have been selling weapons to other countries.

Infact; they should be the second largest exporter of weapons after the US. France too. In Africa, Angola and I think Algeria, buy from Russia. So if the US refuse to do business, Nigeria should look elsewhere.

If only you know the dirty politics the west play against Africa. They only pretend to love when they have interest. Both the west and a few Africa corrupt leaders have been grounding this continent to the ground.

It's should be a great shame to every leaders who had ever ruled this country. Other Africa countries should have been looking up to Nigeria for support and protection. But no, Nigeria is still BEGGING with her knees scrubbing the ground.

It's that cowardly CAATSA policy of USA that sanctions countries that buy weapons from Russia but many countries are giving them the middle finger. I think it's time for us to do the same




Many countries really don't care because Russia is the second largest exporter of weapons.
Nigeria should move on too.

This is the unfortunate state of mind of many unpatriotic Nigerians. This government have continue to make progress against all odds and has been more effective in galvanizing international support than the previous one. In addition to massive infrastructure development, the armed forces have gotten more equipment and weaponry than any others in the past. By the grace of God insecurity will be subdued

Tell that bullcrap to people in Benue, Southern Kaduna, Taraba, Plateau, Ogun etc.

Nigerian army never gets the credit it deserves. Simple.

We need these weapons to cover more grounds.

USA never wants this insurgency to end. What did they do when Chibok happened during GEJ? Nothing.
Ming you the USA has a military base in Niger republic. They have the drones, they did nothing. When an American was kidnapped they got him released in matter of hours, how? They had all surveillance drone every where but will not share Intel or strike terrorists bases.

See it's more than what I can share here on NL. But what do you guys know? Just hating on Nigeria and talking gibberish.

When the bandits and terrorists increase, hope you will run to USA.

Nigeria needs those weapon to give terrorists and terrorism and heavy blow.

Yeah, like the ones which are pampered and given monies to drop their arms, right?

You should be ashamed of your old self. Those weapons won't be sold to Nigeria, period!

Was it also Ipoop that stopped them from selling arms to Jonathan? What you are seeing right now is the handwork of DEMOCRATS, and not some black monkeys. They have a strong (pretentious) obsession about "human rights ", hence they use it against regimes that refused to do their bidding. Even the Tucanos we are receiving is the result of Trump's presidency.

You are the monkey since you cannot read that the two senators who kicked against the sale are REPUBLICANS.

Selling of Cobra attack helicopters to this authoritarian regime will be disastrous and suicidal, considering the level of impunity as regards violation of human rights by NA , bombing of villages in search of ESN without minding civilian population, such weapons in the hands of such murderers will be a huge catastrophe.
There is nothing like human rights human rights my foot why they didn’t talk before they collect the money? They are only trying to steel our money let them bring back our money and we don’t want their weapons.

grin grin grin under GEJ he marketed the Christian bigotry tropes of Muslims trying to slaughter all Christians. His fellow Christians in the US just ignored him and sold him not a single weapon.

PMB on the otherhand has despite all the plots and conspiracy against him, secure weapons from the US and other powers without resorting to giving pastor bling bling money to smuggle weapons. What has been the result of all his efforts;
Nigeria military has denied BH of all territories in Nigeria.

Eliminated the incidence of suicide bombings.

Eliminated bombing places of worship

Pressured BH to the extent it fractured into splinters resulting to the death of Shekau!

Equipped the military with 32 aircrafts and drones

Ensured the military no longer run away from BH rather confront them frontally.

Degraded BH ability to attack far beyond the war theater...

Tell which of this GEJ achieved even though we know his crumbs have blocked all objectivity from you.

That is why BH now has governor in Borno. Because PMB has denied them territories. Mumu!

The US ambassador to Nigeria has not been providing the US government back home the right information about what is going on in Nigeria. I suppose the ambassador there now is still the same one selected by Trump. Trump and his candidate are only interested in making money for US corporation. They don't care about human right. Buy now with democrats in power, it's slightly different. However, the government back home rely on the ambassador to give them true picture of events. They cannot rely solely on the media. For example, this ambassador has been claiming that the fulani bandits issue is solely farmer-herder clash issue. It's beyond that.
