In this article http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21633901-continents-armies-are-going-spending-spree-arms-and-african?fsrc=scn/tw/te/pe/ed/armsandtheafrican on The Economist, it is asserted that the Nigerian soldiers are poorly trained and that our military arsenal is worn out; whatever that means. Quoted from the article " The Nigerian army, one of the biggest in Africa, should have little difficulty scattering the amateur jihadists. But its arsenal is decrepit and its troops poorly trained." If this assertion is true, what had happened to all monies budgeted from when the Boko Haram insurgence started 2009 till date? Whose function is it to oversee the proper spending of fund budgeted for the Military? Is the Presidency aware of how monies are spent by the Military? What has the NASS done and has it done a proper oversight of the armed forces? So many questions, some are rhetorical becasue they will never be answered. God help us.
