This is one of the many benefits of our darling President going on the foreign trips, to better the soiled and battered image of our nation.
May God continue to give this great man more wisdom, knowledge and understanding, long life in good health as he is doing everything he can to make our nation work again.

Putin accused former colonial powers in the West of intimidating African countries to exploit the continent’s resources. And what is he about to do too? Imagine! Kettle calling pot black when most of Russian weapons easily find their way into the hands of terrorists.... sad

At least let us manufacture our machines, even if the life span is a year.

That's it, my brother. We could hardly do that. Students study for exams. Some lecturers starts teaching late and all they have to do is to start with the topics that will come out in exams.

U see in this life, for u to become great at something, u gotta get a coach. Our Nigeria lecturers are very very bad coach. No inspiration from them, majority are just doing the little they can for money. Not to make a ground breaking achievement. Nigerians are brilliant, intelligent and innovative but no better system to bring up these qualities in these students.

America since Obama's era has withdrawn strategic support from Africa. We are not going the right way. Sincerely, China is on track to unleashing the worst possible form of colonization in history. African leaders are endorsing slavery v 2.0

is this the original Bubu or the Photo-shoped version. For those jubilant about new link or bondage, we should remember that Russia is after her interest and planning for her strategic position. What is our own interest here, slavery is slavery and dependent states are enslaved States, so is this worth advertising? That all our leader does is globe trotting to beg for arms and assistance from here and there suggests that we are inferior or half humans. Yet, we are a wonderful people, only that policies of exclusion have made our best brains desert the land. Anyways, begging and the North are like 5 and 6.

That is what I have been saying since
The US is always stingy with the sale of it's wepons
Infact the only country I have seen that the US sell wepons freely to is Taiwn and that is even because China always seeks to intimidate Tiwan
Infact I am beginning to like this Putin of a man over my former “political crush” macron


The US don't sell enough weapon to African government because they don't trust them, because they could use it on their citizens,
It was the Northern governors that even wrote later to the US not to sell weapons to Nigeria under Goodluck Jonathan saying was is using it to kill innocent Northerners, it now backfired them because the US then refuse to sell to Buhari's government,
GEJ even tried to buy weapon illegally in SA but was busted and stopped by the US. Russia does not care how you use the weapons they sold to you, that's the difference.
If Nigeria keep Buhari keep buying weapons from Russia then the US will start placing sanctions on Nigeria little by little, their allies will stop buying oil from Nigeria little by little.

Russia on Wednesday landed two nuclear-capable Tupolev Tu-160 Bombers in Waterkloof Air Force Base in Tshwane, South Africa.

The two world’s biggest military aircraft, nicknamed the White Swan, are capable of launching nuclear missiles. They are the first to ever land in Africa.

They were accompanied by SA Air Force Gripen and Hawk aircraft as they arrived at the Waterkloof air base in Tshwane.

[img]https://imagizer./img921/945/yOqVis.jpg[/img]

The flight was apparently timed to coincide with President Vladimir Putin’s opening of a flagship Russia-Africa summit designed to increase Russian influence.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence said the mission is designed to nurture military ties with South Africa.

[img]https://imagizer./img923/5525/Fvscll.jpg[/img]

With a top speed of 1,243 mph, the supersonic Tupolev Tu-160 bombers are the largest and heaviest combat aircraft. They are also the fastest millitary bomber now in use.

The Russia-Africa summit is part of Russia’s drive to win business and restore influence that faded after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.

Russia will have to compete with China and the US for influence in Africa. Last week, Putin accused former colonial powers in the West of intimidating African countries to exploit the continent’s resources.



During the Russia-Africa Summit, Russia and Nigeria signed a deal to supply 12 Russian-made Mi-35 attack helicopters to Nigeria. This military and technical assistance from Russia will help support Nigeria’s fight against the Boko Haram insurgency.

[img]https://imagizer./img921/8424/0C39sg.jpg[/img]

The Mi-35M attack helicopter is an export version of Mil Mi-24V large attack helicopter. The helicopter, nicknamed the “flying tank,” is Russia’s answer to Boeing’s Apache large helicopter gunship.

Russia and Nigeria also signed a deal to revive and modernise our refineries, and also to restart the decaying Ajaokuta steel company.

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, also sealed railway deal with 2 Russian firms for modernisation and rehabilitation of existing rail projects nationwide.

South Africa seems to be gaining more from this summit than Nigeria.

I ready some comments here and I just laugh and pity for my beloved AFRICA...Putin is a very smart man when it comes to his country interest in matters like this ( future war threat ), Mark my world south Africa is in big problem cause those aircraft will be stationed there making what ever Putin say in South Africa stand Instead of them to have an option they never know the kind future wahala they enter.

One the first time in a long time buhari made a smart move...no doubt Putin would have tabled the matter before him and he would refuse as a formal military man ( note Lagos to California by sea is about 2-3 month which to Houston is around 1month and some days ) which will make America even more angry and scared.

Mind you Trump and putin are good friends before politics, Russia is the only country that can face America with military might and America would be scared.


South Africa don buy market ooo, questions is why South Africa allow an aircraft as deadly as this station in your country when you have no say or power over it?

Why Putin station such Aircraft in South Africa when he knows he won't allow them use it and sell fighter helicopter to Nigeria ( 2 main Africa strong house )

Why station a war aircraft in Africa?

Do you know that SA was once a nuclear country?

The white-men dismantled the nuclear plant before they gave back power to the blacks.

No, the nuclear plants are still operating, and provide SA 15000mw OF POWER.

What was dismantled was SA's nuclear weapons programme...and that was at the instance of Mandela, and also parly due to expense.

Russia's cacapabilities isn't near America's. I doubt it's even near China. When China wanted to modernise its army, it looked to America for inspiration instead of Russia.

An arms race needs money and America and China have the billions to deploy. Russia is presently skint though it spends large sums but nothing close to the other 2.

I doubt that Russian supersonic aircraft can match the American stealth bomber. The first 20 bombers built cost $44b and subsequent ones cost $580m or so.

Israel has deployed into knowledge of defence technology into civilian use and it exports billions of tech goods. Russia is nowhere to be found.

Also try and use powerful.in proper context. Even the least of thee 3 countries can unleash mindbuggling damage if it just deployed a fraction of it's nuclear arsenal. I repeat, just a fraction. It is nothing exciting. It is frightening.

As world's conditions continues to deteriorate, the chances of the use of them keeps increasing. It is not called MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) for nothing.

The Bible however gives me hope. It says when you see these things happening, raise your heads erect for your deliverance is drawing near (Read Luke 21:28)

China has advanced greatly in the past few years. It is no slacker. I've read extensively about China's military in the Economist magazine and it's impressive.

How much does it cost to build an Arctic base? Let's say $20b. That's pocket change to the Chinese.
