Ok

Nice One

Cool. Burn the enemies of the state to dust. Boko and NDA to top the list.

Add yours...

Gradually we are moving towards self reliance.

Nice one

Why is America frustrating our biafra dream na

Its a nice development.

We are far behind when it comes to tech development but it better to start from somewhere and we shall go close to the western world in the future. We may not meet them, because the west is not waiting or relying on what they know or have now.

In 20years time, the Airforce should be able to produce and maintain a real war aircraft.

The navy is already showing great signs of improvements already.

God bless the armed forces.

Why USA? China or Russia will do more at a cheaper bargain



I don't trust the US at all.

That's all USA do. Create weapons and make us use against ourselves. They create war, create weapons and ammunitions then make us fight and kill ourselves. Evil country

Pritypussi:


ask me one more time

yep, that's what I mean . Ur country where Dollar is contesting in 1000meter race with Usain Bolt.
Ur nation that are still in search of charges to nail Nnamdi Kalu over one year. This is how they will endlessly be searching for outdated technology transfer from US while countries like China is leading the World and for sure, Biafra is is not left out.
