 Kiddwaya Sparks Debate with Claim That Nigeria Needed Longer British Colonial Rule Reality television star Tersee Waya, popularly known as Kiddwaya, has ignited an intense online debate after asserting that Nigeria would be far more developed today if British colonial rule had lasted longer. Nigeria officially gained independence from Great Britain in 1960 following years of intense pressure from local nationalists and political activists.

THE $496M TUCANO FIGHTER JETS WERE BOUGHT TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM NOT BANDITS-ARMY.[PHOTO].

More facts have emerged on why the Armed Forces have yet to deploy their full arsenal against bandits who have dominated the North-West and parts of the North-Central geopolitical zones.


The PUNCH reliably learnt on Monday that the Armed Forces told the National Assembly, through its committees, that the agreement signed with the Government of the United States was that the A-29 Super Tucano fighter jets procured from the country would be deployed against terrorists and insurgents, and not bandits.


Several sources in the National Assembly, who are in the know of the development, said the complaints by the service chiefs led to the recent demand by the Senate and the House of Representatives that bandits should be designated as terrorists.


The PUNCH had reported that the Federal Government in February 2018 placed an order for 12 A-29 Super Tucano aircraft at a cost of $496m.


The lawmaker said, “Let me tell you the truth. We once asked the Armed Forces why they had not deployed the Tucano in the fight the bandits and one of the service chiefs (name withheld) told us that their hands are tied due to the human rights regulations regarding to the aircraft. He told us that the equipment is meant for the war against terrorists and insurgents and since these are bandits, they cannot be deployed.
