Jonathanians are clowns. The same Falana and Soyinka that fought and clamoured that GEJ should be made acting president when he was still caged in Turai's kitchen are now APC. Well thats a good development as people that says the truth are always labelled APC. . That is a very good one for APC

jking001: NIGERIANS DON'T THINK BEFORE COMMENTING

He urged the National Assembly to be sure there was a need for it before approving it.
WHATS THIS WHY,WHY DID HE HAVE TO MAKE THIS SENTENCE OR STATEMENT ?of what use ?if you want to criticise do it with fact and the technicalities involved and be blunt about it,it would show you know what you are saying not all this kind of confusing half baked comments,this is how some people create unnecessary tension in the country ,delusion i must say,Nigeria has one of the lowest budget for defence in the whole world go and check and get your facts right.

Una dey here dey comment soldiers wen dey bush dey fight war them say them need money una dey ask wetin dem wan use am do, why una no join army? go check conscription in egypt and so other countries like israel Brazil and even algeria sef, its a must from 18 to 30 una mates dey army una dey here dey argue money to defend una country i pity una lazy nigerias they want the good things of life and never want to pay for it or realize it comes with a price Falana is delusional

In my time on NL I have come to realise it is those who indict others of "not thinking" who are usually guilty of that the most. They are also likely to be the most intellectually ignorant posters prone to bullsh*tting others they assume are too ignorant to discredit their fallacy. You are the one who is "deluded" because Nigeria does not have "one of the lowest budget for defence". Far from it. We spend, for our socio-economic challenges, a distinctly large proportion of our GDP on defence which puts us alongside the biggest spenders in the world like the USA, Russia China, UK and France in terms of spending on security and defence as a percentage of GDP.

Next time check your clannishness, and, most importantly, your fact before diving in to support an ultra-failed President or regime with lies when the same leader and his government have been indulged tolerantly and graciously considering their joint impotence and inability to ever deliver even minimally satisfactory results with all they have been provided with in the past. Many of us can at least say we predicted the conclusion in bold in the article below here on Nairaland i.e corruption , especially under a President who is one of the most corruption-friendly Nigeria has ever known, will render even the largest allocations to defence in Nigeria's history totally impotent and thus nothing will improve. We are vindicated today with security actually worsening as an indictment the GEJ government is a failure that will continue to ask for more time and money deceitfully while its real focus is self-aggrandizement/preservation and not the optimal security of Nigeria or indeed what is best for ordinary Nigerians.

Meanwhile, like a broken record, the Jonathanians continue to pontificate and offer silly excuses for an ultra-corrupt president who will always squander any money allocated for defence and security because he is in bed with corruption and has stubbornly defended corruption as 'inconsequential' while refusing to acknowledge its deleterious effects on every sector of governnace (defence now hugging the limelight for obvious reasons) whereas the entire world is united in saying otherwise.

AZAZI, BOKO HARAM, AND N1 TRILLION DEFENCE BUDGET

To start with, Nigeria is not the only country in the world (of it size) that is facing serious internal security challenges; others such as Indonesia, Russia, Pakistan, India and even china has faced one insurgency challenge or the other. While all these countries faced the situation as it is and proffer formidable approaches to deal with them, Nigeria is lost in defining what the problem is. Because of that billion of Dollars are been squandered without attending to the root cause of the problem. While, for example, in Pakistan the authorities have evolved religious, ideological, and to some extent socioeconomic ways of dealing with their situation, here in Nigeria the authorities are thinking only along the line of using military forces to crush the insurgency. The use of brutal force has never solve any security problem any where in the world, if at all it only succeeded in keeping the problem low but not eliminating it as the US found in Iraq and Afghanistan. Top military spenders in order of size of their budgets in billion dollars term are United State ($ 711 Billion), China ($143 Billion), Russia ($71.9 Billion), United Kingdom ($62.7 Billion), and France ($62.5 Billion), it can be observed that US share is more than that of all the other four combine. In term of share of their respective GDPs, the US allocated 4.7%, China 2%, Russia 3.9%, UK 2.6% and France 2.3%, this compare to Nigeria with about 2.5% of it GDP this year allocated to defence spending call for concerned, looking at the unique position of Nigeria among these high spenders. Many are of the view that this outrageous budget will not achieved much taking into consideration the level of corruption among top government officials, the history of Nigeria’s government poor budget implementation, and the apparent lost of priorities in the government scheme of things.
