vanbonattel: Thanks, I won't be surprised if this deal is linked to Dangote Refinery buying crude oil from United States instead of refining Nigerian crude oil to ease pains of Inflation caused by fuel pump price hike and dollar scarcity. Dangote Refinery was supposed to return fuel pump price to around ₦150 or below until US came in with its own crude oil for the Refinery. Most Nigerians don't even see how their future is being mortgaged for the interest of those at the corridor of power. Nigerian sufferings paid for Dangote Refinery and now that the Refinery is supposed to ease the sufferings, the mega power brokers in USA came in to seal the deal with Fulanitocracy in Nigeria. US and the West are the problem of Nigerian people and Africa at large, they continue pumping weapons in the hands of African dictators that have shown no regards for human rights and are battling with legitimacy from their people. This deal will further embolden Nigerian leaders to do as they want. But imagine countries like Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, though under military rule but have enjoyed legitimacy from their people, US and the West refuse to sell weapons to them, but instead continue to sponsor attacks against their leaders, there have been 5 major French-sponsored military coups against the leader of Burkina Faso that have been reported already. |

onuman: You are just a delusional clown US army and Nigeria army have been in cooperation for a long time even before bokoharam. I told you and stated it that all what they provide is just training and support but they will never deploy their troops on the front line just like that in fact it would be all over the news if they did. You are the one that said they deployed forces to fight and engage on the front line bokoharam and have also left when they discover the level of sabotage lol But you are now changing your tones to exactly what I stated. When Americans special forces came to Nigeria during Trump government to rescued American kidnapped in Nigeria it was all over the news. In fact they personally killed 6 kidnapper in the operation. Provide a source like this that says USA deployed their soldiers to fight bokoharam on the front line, US forces have not personally engage with Bokoharam but they may provide intelligence, training and information and they are still doing it unlike you that stated that US personally engaged bokoharam ,how many terrorists killed etc ? and there is no way it wouldn't be all over the news. I'm more than happy if US forces personally help to fight Bokoharam on the front line but there is no where US have personally deployed their forces to engaged them, it just happened in your head.

Emmanuel900: Only an ignorant, half educated fellow like you will assume that every attack helicopter that comes from the US must be an Apache❗️❗️❗️😡😡😡 Where was Apache mentioned in this article that you are now quoting the price❓❓ Simple read and comprehension of a story you can't do. I'm sure a person of low intellect like you must have written WASCE several times because you couldn't get a credit in English Language. In the first place, America only sells the top secret Apache to very trusted allies. And again if my memory serves me right, only Britain, Israel & Germany and a few other traditional US defense allies get the top models, while smaller allies get the lower end versions. Therefore you should understand that getting an Apache is not a matter of just going to give them money, dem no go even answer you. The AH-1Z Viper is not a major top secret chopper in the US defense arsenal, so they can afford to sell them to third World countries like your own, who are just battling ragtag herdsmen and religious fanatics. This one we are buying is quoted in the range of 💲27m to 💲31m when it went into production. After so many years, the price should even be lower & America may even be selling US refurbished ones By the time you put in all the accessories, including the missiles, ammunition and training, there is no way the package should cost more than 💲500m❌❌❗️❗️❗️ Go and do your research before coming to social media to disgrace your family for not educating you well. Mumu❗️❗️😡😡😡 1 Like

richiemcgold: You guys seem to think your government doesn't know what to do to curb insecurity. They do, they're just not interested in |
Re: United States Confirms Sale Of 12 Attack Helicopters, Others To Nigeria For $1bn by Emmanuel900(m): 8:17am On Feb 05 |
adecz: Still close minded jon know I'm not saying it was an apache but just saying how expensive an attack helicopter can be. That 1 billion will also cover ammunition and weapons, servicing, repair and training etc for many years to come. You are just empty if you think they are cheap to operate. You must know better than top Nigeria military and American Military that's why you are behind your phone typing all angry. Sorry me |

How has the mighty America industrial revolution fallen for military Industrial complex!...... The only goods America export to the outside world is military weapons and nothing else. Mean while, China is feeding the whole world, building infrastructure in every continents and expanding trade through belt and road initiatives. God, America is shit. |

Emmanuel900: Even reading your initial comments, it's clear you are an Ignorant confused fellow, because you were talking about computer and guidance systems as if Nigeria was procuring drones.. All the guidance systems and peripherals are all in situ, on the craft itself. They are not controlled remotely like UAVs. It's clear you jumped into a conversation not knowing the subject, and global political dynamics of weapons trade amongst countries. You also didn't know who you took you cheap phone to criticize. People with limited knowledge like you refer to all American attack choppers as Apaches, not differentiating Vipers, Black hawks etc. |
