Hello fellow nairalander,
I was just wondering if the warships commissioned by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is really worth celebrating. For now, I am sure that two of those warships are obsolete and were given to Nig free of charge, but Fed govt did refurbishing on it, my thought now is can a warship which has finished its meaningful service life, now refurbished face the reality of insurgency or perhaps oil theft whichever purpose it wants to serve .
On the other hand my president talked more on using this warship to fight insurgency and not oil theft, so can d warship in lagos fight insurgency in the north? The northerners are not even surrounded by sea, so I don't see any correlation btw the warship in lagos and the insurgency in the north.
The name of two of the warships are NNS Thunder and NNS OKPABANA, so you can google them and do research on them and also you can check Wikipedia for their history. These warships were nt just given to Nig, infact Nns thunder has been in use in Nig and has collided with Total vessel before, so why the commissioning now or as usual it's still the political point? If it is, then this one to me is nt worth it.
You can kindly add the name of the two other warships if you knw as I would like to check their history too, my pple, pls let us reason together.

The Nigerian Navy has recently expanded its fleet of warships with a former United States Coast Guard cutter.
The vessel NNS Okpabana, once named USCGC Gallatin, entered Nigerian waters on January 2 for its formal reception in Lagos. Prior to joining the Navy’s fleet, the vessel underwent a $8.5 million refurbishment.
According to defenceWeb, NNS Okpabana is the second Hamilton class cutter donated to Nigeria by the US.

The vessel will be used to combat piracy, oil theft, smuggling, illegal fishing and arms smuggling.

obviously your brain has melted else you won't wish a fellow human being death.
As concerning the farming, yea, it's a great choice for me anyday bt certainly it will be mine so I can employ slow spoke like you to feed my animals.

Now back to topic, that we have more warship is nt the bone of contention, bt rather, the warships are nt worth the attention given to them .One, they are obsolete and had been decommissioned by the countries that gave them to us, we spend too much on refurbishing them, also the purpose which the president said they were obtained for, I can't see them achieving it, though they can serve other purposes for the navy .

But u Pdp rats will not reason with your brain, rather u start raining curses, if ur loved ones do bad and u can't correct them, is that love?
