Guy na How many times I wan tell you say my fada na I'diot.

kinguwem: The Hon. Member may be patriotic but is ignorant about security issues. Nigeria is at war with insurgents/terrorists. Military equipment are expensive. Already lives have been lost. Does he want more lives to be lost because of $1 billion. The legislature does oversight functions, he should tell us how previous defence budgets were spent.

dominique:

You mean Nigeria does not have up to $1bn in its treasury, they have to go all out and borrow? They budget 1 trillion naira a year to fight this terrorism, what have they achieved with it so far? So the only way forward is by plunging the country into further debt right? Even if you're a pdp supporter, does it mean you must always endorse their actions?

This government gives a new meaning to the word 'ILLITERATE' in the Oxford English Dictionary. From Facebook to Twitter, nairaland and all over the net the GEJites continue to redefine this word and carry its meaning to new heights. And they display this illiteracy with brash arrogance. I suggest reasonable Nigerians go on sabbatical till 2019 and come back to fix the whole mess they would have created.

bonechamberlain: this is the best analysis to come out from a Nigerian senator this month.. hope he would do the same analysis if APC is in power. Jonathan continues to marvel me, does he want to tell us that we don't have ordinary 1 bill dollars Hmmm we re finished in this country as our leaders are all lacking vision. they always act like pple from another planet. [s]only a very violent revolution would save this country from the hands of aliens[/s]

hushmail: d truth of d matter is that d military is losing d war against BH
something drastic needs to be done
gej has suggested $1bn, let him have it!
senate shld monitor how its spent
thats oversight function

my life is worth more than $1bn

see nigerians becoming refugees in their own country n pple defy complain abt money

victor08:

[size=18pt]You are among the people coming here to insult your president. If the war breaks out- everybody will loose in this country. Go and see what is happening in Libya now. They succeeded in removing Gaddafi but no peace for the country and it will take take them many years to rebuild if at all they can unite to do what Gaddafi did for them.

You come to Nairaland and post rubbish because its FREE. How many of you can pay money to come and post this useless things if the owner of this website starts charging you guys?[/size]

victor08:
And who told you he will loose? Bbay-sitters making noise here. There is no strong person to challenge him now. The earlier you know the better for you or otherwise stay at home with your vote.

enigmaotr: When you borrow, you're indebting the future generation. We fought the civil war without borrowing a dime, so why now? With almost N1 Trillion budgeted for security alone this year- we're still in July- I do not think we should be borrowing N165billion.
Thumbs up for the Minority Leader. He opposed the the proposal and provides an alternative. Let the FG go with the alternative

DEngineer: If anyone here pass through Aso-Drive in abuja. You need no prophet to tell you why GEJ and his cohort needs $1 Billion.

victor08:


[size=18pt]You talk like an illiterate without sense of reasoning?

What do you know about the budgets appropriated for defense in this country? When foreign and local security experts are saying that the money won't be enough. Are you aware that the money that is been given to the army in the last 4 years is not the same as announced by National Assembly. Before the funds even gets to the Army account-a huge chunk of it have been the deducted by lawmakers.

Do you really know how much a fighter jet costs?

Do you really know how much a modern armored tank cost?

Do you know the price of high tech helicopter that can fly in the sky and detect moving objects as far as 2000 feet.

What about compensation for families of chibok and soldiers that have lost their lives?

Do you know that Borno State is almost 91,000 sq km. with the most difficult terrain? Almost X11 of Abuja put together.

We must support Jonathan to fight these dare devil agents BOKO HARAM and stop this unrealistic accusations about stealing the money when you can't prove it. Boko Haram is well equipped and the only way to win this war is to support the military to win it for us not with our dirty comments.

Gbawe:

Most reasonable posters have indeed 'gone on sabbatical' on Nairaland. This is why the m0r0nic rants of the illiterate Jonathanians resonate so loudly of late on this forum.

WombRaiders:

The Military is in shambles. The few operational hardware have all since FUBAR[/b]ed.

In war you need to step your game up.

You are seeing the financial aspect and cost on the war, can you put a price on the life of the thousands killed so far by these lunatics?

djfaithy: are you now trying to compare jonathan to gadhafi ? Victor do you know what you are saying at all, I wouldn't compare obasanjo to ghadafi, if it wasn't for people like gej, ghadafi would still be living, ghadafi is a hero, forget all the western media propaganda, he was a better president than gej will ever be, please compare to jonathan with mahama, then we will start from there.
