Dear Beegs, I stumbled on this link with some very serious claims as per recent military acquisition (expected hardware) of the Nigeria Navy and Nigerian Army. Please Advise on the Veracity of its claims. Thanks

Don’t bother. As the name of the site “INVISION” suggests, those are ‘visionaries’ with very fertile imaginations who are seeing ‘visions.
Hi Beeg, long time no post! Just got news that the Philippine Coast Guard will be purchasing 4 x 24m and 1 x 82m patrol boats from France. Speculation for the 24m will be the Ocea class (same as in your photos). The Japanese offer is still pending (12 ships) all for the Coast Guard (which is under civilian control).
Surprise! French blogs confirmed that 4 x FPB 72 MKII patrol boats from Vendée Ocea Shipyard was indeed ordered by the Philippine Coast Guard, for delivery next year….
