The delivery took place in the framework of the $152m contract reached by the countries earlier. The Nigeria Army is going to employ the received equipment in its fight against Boko Haram and other terrorist groups active in the country.

Zionism = EVIL

Boko Haram is a CIA’s African franchise. The Americunt evil arseholes even when dying can’t help stoke terrorism and wars around the world. Nigeria is doing the right thing by alliance with China which is now the unquestionable only superpower.

Barba_Papa

And as history shows you cannot trust a superpower. Do not make the mistake of thinking the enemy of my enemy is my friend, for China is no friend of anyone but China, and it using its belt and road initiative to form a new colonial empire. And you’ll only exchange your American master for a Chinese master.

Zionism = EVIL

The Chinese have not killed 30 million civilians nor act as arrogant swine. The Americunts are pure evil.

Barba_Papa

That which gets presented without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Shall we ask the Tibetans and Uygurs how it is to live under Chinese rule? The Chinese occupy their land. Or ask the people of Taiwan how it is to live under the cloud of potential Chinese invasion? Or Vietnam which actually defeated a Chinese invasion. And constantly using terms like Americunts this and Zioswines that does not make you sound intelligent, quite the contrary.

L Ne

Maybe so – but the Chinese so far have only been interested in building ‘things’, whereas the CIA goons know only destruction, divide and conquer…..the Chinese build and conquer seems to be a much better deal.

James Adams

The Chinese killed 50 million of their own people. They love destruction so much they kill their own people.

Barba_Papa

The Chinese build, but they will be the one who end up owning it and profiting from it. You will only exchange one master for another and unless you’re a han Chinese you will ALWAYS remain a foreign devil to you. Especially Africans, because the Chinese are racists as fuck towards black people. They make the KKK look enlightened in that regard.

There will always be rulers, I’ll take those that have a philosophy of fairness and harmony over those that brutally proselytise one of individualism and chaos. The future will not be known until it happens so until China actually does something to suggest those fears are warranted I’ll remain cautiously optimistic.

Barba_Papa

You think China is fair? Let Winston who has lived there for almost 20 years illuminate you on that.

qiuwei

Winston? the guy that pretend he is a businessman and teacher who is actually unemployed? he lies even about himself, u think he tell you truth about anything you are fooled by his suit.

Bobby Twoshoes

Didn’t bother watching it, my experience living there was great though, best years of my life. I said they had a philosophy of fairness, trying to summarise the individual personalities of over a billion people is stupid. Nobody is ever 100% faithful to their underlying cultural philosophy but to become assholes Chinese must deviate from theirs more than the Anglo cultures who start from a selfish ideal.

James Adams

Your retarded and should kill yourself. Noting you say is true !!!

afroArmchairG

Go to any twitter thread or Nigerian forum concerning the recent Chadian operation and read what a real Nigerians say…. “Adams” lecturing me on africa…. Lol, western arrogance on full display.

afroArmchairG

Nigeria is part of the problem, they are deliberately not defeating bokoharam coz their sustained existence means $$$ for the military. Even the president is a suspected sympathiser of the group… “Attacking bokoharam is like attacking the north” he literally said that. Our only hope is the mighty Chadian army….

Traiano Welcome

The implications of this are incredible. This is yet another indicator of the Chinese push into taking away market share in America’s biggest income market: Heavy weaponry. The Chinese are clearly going after America’s market share in the only market that actually means something to the US.

Shortly, they’ll do to the American Arms industry what the Japanese did to the American Television set industry in the 60s …

Toni Liu

The positive one is, the dont get easily embargoed if something got wrong

Traiano Welcome

I heard some dude on the internet the other day arguing that the US would blockade Chinese exports via the ocean routes. Do you think this is possible? Given that Chinese ‘encroachment’ into US dominated markets might trigger this kind of blockade.

Toni Liu

Nah they wont, look what happened in other places it never got blocked, unless Nigerian somehow make US so angry that we dont saw any of those happened this recent years

Vitex

It’s really tough to blockade stuff when it’s packed in TEU containers

Dick Von Dast'Ard

Be interesting to compare performance of the Chinese MBT versus the French MBT (Leclerc) that the UAE fielded in Yemen.

Vitex

What Nigeria needs is soldiers who can actually fight, not tanks.

Ronald

I’ve read, Boko Haram uses regiments of kidnapped children, males 10 to 14 yrs old. Imagine being in a situation were you are forced to kill children all day or night, if you don’t kill them they will certainly kill you. That would sap the moral of any army. Al Qaeda commanders don’t care how many children it takes, they are ‘free’. They just want Nigeria’s OIL.
