PoliticsRe: Nigeria To Partner China To Produce Military Equipments To Avoid Delays by sunboy(m): 3:35pm On Jan 10, 2025
romeodunn:
The HQ9B is better than the S300, the JF17 is solid and has already been utilized by Pakistan quite a bit, it has a fly away cost of $25 million per jet, what Russian jet compares to this price? And if we spent a bit more money we could get the J10C, another solid multi role fighter. China would also get us the J35 5th gen. Russia cannot even produce enough 5th gen planes for the war they are fighting right now, and you think they could supply us? Look at Russia's allies around the world, how is Assad doing these days?

China has a ton of experience in infrastructure and logistics, more money and most importantly they tend to try to be neutral and are easy to do business with.

Turkey is better than both of them but they are NATO and that comes with its own issues. China makes the most sense for us until we gradually develop our own industries.
When you start comparing Hq9b to an S300 😂 I give up!

You expect Russia to use its latest gets in Ukraine? Lmao

Russia is not fighting Assad war, they are only supporting him. If Assad military are voluntarily surrendering, there’s nothing Russia or Iran can do about it.

Again, I laugh when you choose to compare Chinese to Russian or Turkey tech 😂

The Greenland thing is his distraction tactics. He wont invade Greenland no worry. Greenland is an extension of NATO. Maybe he could make moves on Panama but not Greenland.

romeodunn:
China has a more established logistical machine, they deliver on time, they are cheaper and their fighter jet engines (the WS10 and WS13) are more reliable than the Russian ones.

China is also cheaper, we can get JF17 block 3 jets, the HQ9 air defense system, and eventually the J35 5th gen jet for much cheaper than what Russia and Turkey would charge us.

And we already have a relationship with China that goes back years, I think this is a smart play on our part.
Russian jets are cheaper than Chinese jets. Cheap does not always means good. China's jet engines (mainly WS10 is more active) are relatively new in the industry and have seen little to no battle testing and China still heavily rely on the AL-31s from Russia for many of its aircraft engines. It is an insult to compare the performance and battle tested and cheaper Russian jets to Chinese made ones.

We have always had relationships with Russian military industry too.

Russian military stuff and Turkish (NATO standard) are far superior to the Chinese made. Take that anywhere.

Imagine being the largest economy in the West Africa and one of the largest on the continent with a mediocre military… so Yes! We need our military to be top notch.

Turkey or Russian companies would have been better options than China

Heavily inflated contract. Na so tinubu make him money from us in Lagos. Monies meant for real sector development are being diverted and siphoned via inflated contract prices.
I think Nigeria deserves someone like tinubu to teach everyone a lesson at this time. He gives no damn about anyone's existence.
Don’t be ridiculous. A brand new jetbridge cost between 600k to 1m USD. Those prices are probably for used sef, can’t be new.

Bridge is the thing that elevates to airplane door for passenger to walk into the plane with. The ones at the airport need repairing or total replacement. It’s an eye sore. Gradually, that airport must come to a standard level.

Our airport is the gateway to the world.

How has your explanation changed the fact that the French also have a stake in the construction of the canal? You re-writing history on Nairaland.

They invested in the canal, yes or no? As a matter of fact, it was their idea and not that of the US. Both have a stake in the construction.
Their investment was bought out!!! What part of that English don’t you read!!!

You have no stack in something you sold. That is the basic agreement of buying and selling. What history are you referring to-writing. France has no claims on the Louisiana territory cos they sold old, same way USSR sold Alaska, same way their stake in the canal was sold.

Do you know how many French life’s were lost in the startup phase of that canal. Is it not same foundation that the US built on, or did they destroy it?

So they can also play claims it. They invested in it and should get returns also of the US also wants to lay claims to it.
Stop the cap!

The US paid very well for their stake after the French company bankrupted. It took about 20years after French company abandoned it then US took over, paid, and build it up.

The French started the construction of the canal, so they also have claims to it.
Laid foundation, failed and its company bankrupted. US bought the French stake along with its equipment and built it. Even French won’t open their mouth for your type of claims lol

2025 will be interesting!

All the way from the US to go acquire an asset in Panama claiming it’s yours. Can the French who also started the construction of the canal lay claims to it?

He wants green land, Panama Canal, Canada, and still wants to rename Gulf of Mexico even when a state in the US is called New Mexico.

These Caucasian’s will one day tell Africans that our independence was not valid and reclaim it with military force.

I can’t just figure out what they smoke! Believing Earth belongs to them.
All he’s doing is all noise. Just to correct you, the US built the canal not French. The US voluntarily gave it to the to Panama as a good faith to other South and Central American countries that it is a good neighbor.

Foreign AffairsRe: ECOMOG Should Flush Out M23 Rebels In The DRC by sunboy(m): 6:54pm On Jan 06, 2025
panafrican:
RDC is not that far from us, if this degenerates, Hey, we can be flooded with refugees mixed with embedded
terrorists. From the RDC you cross the Congo River and within 10 minutes you are in Congo-Brazza, from there
you can reach Cameroon on foot, and the Nigeria.
Remember when Al-Shabaab was growing in Eastern Africa in 2006? the rest of us warned that this could hit west Africa but some people downplayed it on Nairaland Forum. Six years later in 2002 , Boko Haram showed up in Maiduguri.

As far as the war on Boko Haram is concerned, still don't know why Nigeria is refusing to form a
coordinated military coalition with neighboring countries to destroy those terrorists. 150 000 west Africa
troops in Northern Nigeria will be enough to silence the guns of the killers.

Excessive national pride is sometimes detrimental. Burkina faso, Mali and Niger understood that.
Today , they made cross border military agreements and it is paying.
This being say let's keep in mind that to many westerners Nigeria is guilty of being a stable , successful African country with more than 200 million people. They just do not like it. To many people's many, Africa should be a junk yard with warring factions chopping people's heads
Ecomog should be deployed to tackle insecurity within west Africa. Charity begins at home.

NATO is for North Atlantic, they are in Eastern Europe at the Russian Borders.
I mean, if we don't pro-actively react in West Africa, Nigeria will be the next after the DRC.No-one wants to see Africa grow.
NATO is not in Ukraine. The US and allies are supporting Ukraine. Yes they happened to be NATO members.

Ecomog got no business in DRC, no political or economic relevance for us. Ecowas is not rich enough to send money to East Africa when bokoharam is still alive across the ecowas borders. Charity begins at home.

In the case of Houthis, Israel has a right to defend itself. But Not sporadic killing of Yemeni citizens.

In the case of Hamas yes, but not against the Palestinians and taking over their lands. Hamas is the culprit, find them and finish them.

Same from Hezbolah, not the Lebanese citizens.

Based on this, do you think it’s safe to remove subsidy on electricity too?

Even if you ain't a Christian.. you can read the Bible that mentioned all these land dated back. All these settlement were quoted there.... Connect the dots together.
Yes, I know the history of the descendants of Jacob.

My argument: not all descendants of Jacob migrated to Europe. Some of their descendants never left their ancestral land and surrounding which explains why we have we have Jewish Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian, Egyptian among others, those people are labeled aliens in the modern day state, only the Europeans are expressly accepted as the original Israelites.

This topic was about flooding, and it could happen anywhere. All land belong to the creator ultimately. Linking flooding in Isreal as end of time, is the same as the Muslims linking a flood in Mecca as end of time. It’s quite gullible. Flood is an environmental issue. Isreali govt are literally working on how to adapt to the environment, a gullible African man think it’s end of time.

Botragelad:
Try to educate yourself, son!
It wasn't Palestine that harboured Israeli returnees from Europe in 1946, but rather the British Mandate for Palestine, which was a separate entity altogether, rather than any Palestine entity or government.

And, if I may correct you, it was the British authorities that issued those passports, not the Palestinian people.
Now, regarding your point about Israeli leaders carrying Palestinian passports, that's a historical technicality because those passports were issued by the British authorities like I stated earlier. They controlled the region at the time. It doesn't change the fact that the Jewish people have a deep, millennia-old connection to the land.

What then is your take on the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which explicitly recognised the Jewish people's right to a national home?
Olodo, you mean the British colony ?
Palestine was part of British empire from 1917-1948. Before 1917, was colonized by the Ottoman Empire for over 3-4 centuries. I’m glad you agreed that there was an area called Palestine and they had their own passport before the creation of the modern day Isreal in 1948.

Thank you for confirming that the west created the modern day Israeli state.

Thanks for also confirming that there was a Palestinian state that was colonized by the British before the European returnee.

Stay safe ✌🏾
