Textile Industries have not been revived, Power has received enough attention, Refineries hasnt started as promised, We are still exporting Oil and importing Rice and Matches, someone is thinking and dreaming of setting up a weapon manufacturing plant...I think someone needs some serious prayers...Buhari needs to be flown out for check ups

Chiaka:
Aba Boys can help with this! Serious!

IGBOs are drug dealers and fake goods sellers, don't trust them

This government is intent on insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians. Everyday one joke or the other as policies but surprisingly he has no ministers to oversee this fair weather policies

This is long over due. Haba! In this age and time when countries are building nuclear weapon and drones, our soldiers are still going around with AK47 left over from the Biafra war. Biko, let all Nigerians in diaspora who are knowledgeable in this field come home and help. I'll definitely volunteer in the area of building drones and long range missiles.

Finally, the outcome of the US visit, judging by the daura dullards submissions, means they (US) have refused to support the Zoo with necessary weaponry to combat terrorism. The zoo is a failed nation.

Sai Buhari, I believe with time we can produce our own guns, armor vehicles, stealth weapons...and maybe someday our own WMD .

Dude you're nut, this is gibberish.

what

such a dumb ass, must we walk with our brains below our foot?

[1quote author=carnegiefan post=36706788]The last time I checked Nigeria is not fighting a war against a foreign country. Boko Haram for example is a local construct designed by northern interest groups to return power to the north. If the dog no longer listens to his masters whistle calls, the master simply needs to speak to him in the same language they both understand, be it Hausa, Fulfude, or Kanuri.
The civilized countries of the world refused (and rightly so) to sell you weapons because they know you will turn it on the people.
As for Biafra (which is the real reasons you are really thinking about building weapons locally after foreigners turned you down), all they want is freedom. If you cannot give them freedom, be rest assured that you cannot outproduce them if it ever comes to that.

The commenter above me ain't in his senses.... so funny. Nigeria doesn't have to be dependent on any nation for arms... lol. we ain't gon get anywhere in this fight if dey don't help. We r technically deficit!

There is nothing wrong with what he said he has a good point still.

Foolish move...

I firmly bliv in d theory of comparative advantage.

Technology isn't a black man thing.

you are bloody inferior complexed self hater.

[quote author=Sanfranka post=36708347][/quote]

the countries that we are trying to buy arms from are they at war too? produced arms can also be sold to other small countries that needs it....we cannot keep on living as a consuming nation and start being a producing nation.......would if be wrong if these same biafra Engineer are employed in the defence ministry to manage and build arms for Nigeria? until we start looking more at production and less importation we will never become a developed nation.........production is the simple secret or the Asian power in world politics

DICON is capable of producing weapons and ammunitions if the government can tackle corruption in MOD which is really killing DICON.

A good one if the govt does.

Whatever, this cant rule out the fact that, what is needed in the mean time is to buy or watch the boko haram cannibals keep on devoring innocent lives with their advanced weopons, until our so called Nig-manufactured ones becomes a reality.

I thought we have been producing since many decades ago already.
Why is Brainless Bubu telling yet another LIE

Our Mission
To operate the ordnance factories for the manufacture and supply of arms and ammunition as well as inspecting, testing and recommending ordnance materiel intended for use by the Armed Forces and other security organizations while using the excess capacity to support the development of local industries.

the country that does these productions what is so special about them? we have the materials, we have the people that can be trained and also we have the mental faculties to assimilate better than even the white man...........if we can manufacture a car and other thing currently in Nigeria ten manufacturing arms is just a walk over.........do not downgrade your self........na watin you call your dog other people for outside go call am.

once again I laff,hhaa,don't tell me your idealism is that blind, you think they just get up the resources and a gun miraculously manufactures itself from it,Nigeria can barely feed itself let alone an optimal treasure to fund such projects,never you compare you communist inspired property stricken economy to a rich blessed economy with enough food and financial reserves to last them for a century(US,Britain,Russia,China).....I guess u know little about economics so I'm not gonna go futher

Atlantian:
Talk about putting the Cart before the Horse. pray tell us, how do they intend to do that without Ajaokuta Steel Plant being functional. This is a real daura malu.

Does South Africa has a steel company? They produce weapons. Nigeria wanted to buy from them.

The only way forward is to massively restart the DIC ( Defence industries corporation of Nigeria ) a complex that now produces salt and furniture after being eaten up by corrupt politicians .
Up to the late eighties (80%) this company was still producing light arms for both the military and the police going to site an arms complex in ibo land is too dangerous for comfort Buhari need not toy with .
ON THIS AM VERY SERIOUS !

You are the one who needs to develop your brain. If we can produce cars in Nigeria now what stops us from making sophisticated weapons? This is actually a direction US, Europe and their likes don't even wish we even tow.

They know the potential of Nigeria and they so never wish that we realize it to the fullest hence their reasons for always wanting to spread negative news about us and in the process try to control our judgment of things and situations.

The day Nigeria realizes her potential she becomes a threat to the world, China will be child's play.

Dharniel:
that's the way forward, we don't have to be dependent on any nation for arms.
if at least all we can produce is the local snipers that are use by hunters, then we will have to step up on it...

sniper ke? na rifles those hunter dey carry ooo....

Shehu Garba, you are still on political campaign. Buhari to establish Nigerian airlines, end Boko Haram, restart the railways, and other new promises - in the last two months. Note that you can only fool your APC crowd.

supereagle:

They have many steel companies oh. Read ..Read...Read! Infact, mining is the mainstay of their economy.

he's ryt... we need help. Even if we start developing our own weapons, how effective does it want to match in combat with d enemy? speaking of threats to the world, I hope u ain't insinuating we become a nuclear superpower? (dnt go there)

Good move can't wait to have my own gun.

This is long over due. Haba! In this age and time when countries are building nuclear weapon and drones our, soldiers are still going around with AK47 left over from the Biafra war. Biko, let all Nigerians in diaspora who are knowledgeable in this field come home and help. I'll definitely volunteer in the area of building drones and long range missiles.

The Russians still use ak47s

Good move, but lest we forget, we are technically deficit in that area. Send our best and brightest to learn so that they can teach the rest and we can build our own well. We must also be careful so that we don't get into an arms race war.
