Were is the picture of Jonathan commissioning it in 2013...prove.

Daliano:



How foolish was he?

The Air force spokesperson clarified everything so i don't get the confusion! The one Jonathan commissioned was a prototype. It wasn't functional or operational. We never heard any reports of the Air force conducting any air strikes in the North East with a drone during Jonathan's regime.
The one Buhari just commissioned can conduct air strikes and is functional. So what are you dumbasses on nairaland ranting about Buhari again?

For those supporting Buhari, may devil run your life the way Buhari is running this country.

If you quote me with an insult...May you be as foolish as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck.

Smh..."so many other things." These are the people in charge of our military. Nigeria is in trouble.

These are the same people who just paid about $500 million for fighter planes from the US, except they are toys and not fighter jets. Those jets don't have a single rocket or ammunition of any sort. What's worse? They cannot be repaired or maintained in any way by Nigerians and must be shipped off to the US for maintenance.

And the clueless man flew off to commission. I wonder if this man even knows what is going on around him. He looks like a walking corpse.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s launch of surveillance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV, produced locally by the Nigerian Air Force Institute of Technology is already generating controversy over the claim that it is the first indigenous UAV, whereas former president, Goodluck Jonathan was said to have launched the same invention in December, 2013.

Buhari, had while inducting the unmanned aerial vehicle christened TSAIGUMI, in Kaduna, on Thursday, said, “It is a pleasure to be here with you all for the induction of the Nigerian Air Force Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, ‘TSAIGUMI’, Nigeria’s first indigenously developed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The significance of this accomplishment as a milestone of national technological development cannot be over-estimated”.

Since the news broke, there have been speculations that TSAIGUMI is the same UAV which the then president Jonathan commissioned in 2013.

DAILY POST had on December 18, 2013 reported that Jonathan in Kaduna unveiled the first Nigerian made unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, named GULMA which was built by the Nigerian Air Force in Kaduna.

In his speech at the unveiling ceremony, Jonathan said at the time that as Nigeria continues to witness breakthrough in technology at various sectors, it was imperative to appreciate the fact that Nigeria has potential to do great things, charging Nigerians to continue to explore all available areas that could take the country to greatness.

The PDP in its reaction described the commissioning as a shameful act as its National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan wrote on Twitter, “It’s a shame that same project former President GEJ commissioned in Dec 17th 2013 is the same project (first unmanned drone ) that Buhari is recommissioning and the @APCNigeria apologists are celebrating this Shameful act.”

Clarifying the issue under contention regarding the drone, the spokesman of the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, AVM Olatokunbo Adesanya told DAILY POST on Friday that the UAV commissioned yesterday by Buhari is the first indigenous operational drone.

According to him, “The other one was not operational. It was a prototype. It was not prepared to conduct any operation. This one built on the earlier one and it is a much more improved version. This is a much more improved version of the other one. This one has mixed characteristics… with so many other things.”

Chetimah:
But is different from the one Jonathan commission...are you guys not happy that our air force produced another unmanned aircraft againist only that we need in Nigeria??why are you people like this??

Chetimah:
Thank you for this,but the drone is different with the buhari commission..just the headlines that makes it wrong,it SHOULD have been buhari commission another unmanned aircraft from Nigeria air force...lol

Godswillu:
Let's forget about the curved wings and big red propeller.
The big question is
did it fly?
The one GEJ commissioned did not fly
What of the one PMB commissioned
Did it fly?

rka2:
Why are there so many dumb people? The earlier UAVs (Amebo, Gulma) were prototypes while this latest incarnation is the first operational UAV in the NAF.
