in as much as I think you made a point here, I don't agree with it. If a person inherits his father's property that has been damaged, exploited and bastadized, does the person mend it's fence, stem it's problems and improve on its efficiency or simply just follow the trend of the situation he met the property? . More reason why I won't vote for #GEJ. He is too busy blaming his problems on past leaders whilst abandoning the confidence we had in him when he had no shoes.

bbc you are wrong, you don't have the moral right to interview the army as commonwealth did uk gave us arms instead they followed americans thinking Nigeria will fail with boko haram but shame despite arms embargo the army is holding their line and if not for the fake old rulers who were corrupt and did not arm the military we will not be begging for arms shame on them and they still want to rule mr Gej you have tried the only man after shagari to armed the military

LITTLE WONDER..



SMALL BOKO HARAM

NO BE MOUTH, I CAN DEFEAT BOKO HARAM AS A COMMANDER IN CHIEF #INJACKBAUER'SVOICE

Bros not when you have Charles Logan(Jonathan) as the president. Vote for David palmer(Buhari) so that you can operate freely

apc and boko haram,
your end will not be good.
and it will not be far.

I say system collapse in Nigeria has affected every thing in this country. Billions of Nigeria is voted for defence every year and nothing to show for it.

We need a change.

[size=15pt]CORRUPTION, Nigerian Army Heading Towards Rag Tag Status[/size]

Nigerian Commentators Kayode Ogundamisi and Temitope Olodo shared their
views on The Boko Harram Insurgency

My question is this, "between 1976 and 2015, what happened to all the budgetary allocation to the security sector?"

st

They didn't do anything majorly because they didn't face this sort of chalenge. All GEJ however did is to take advantage of the situation to take a loan of 1 Billion Dollars and divert it to himself and his folks. What an opportunists spending blood money!!!

Jonathan has failed this country. I urge all those shouting 'GEJ till 2019' to live politics aside and look at the real issues on ground. His lies are many, we need to protect our future.

A party that campaigns by discrediting constituted authority whether through force or through coordinated propaganda is a fraudulent one.
Question: When was this interview done? Why bring it up again and again even though the problem has been solved
Answer: To deceive and control people's minds to believing what u want them to believe and hating opponent.

Buhari has spent more than GEJ in military expenditure in Nigeria.
FACTS:
Published in the Journal of African Macroeconomic Review, Volume 2 Number 1, the study, titled “Comparative Regime Analysis of the Trend and Structure of Military Expenditure in Nigeria, 1980-2010″, the report revealed that while the Buhari/Idiagbon spent 38.68 of total allocation to the military on capital items such as military hardware between January 1984 and August 1985 when it was overthrown, the Yar’adua/Jonathan administration spent 34.67 percent of military budget between May 2007 and May 2010.

The authors- Anyawu Sarah, Egwaikhide Chris and Aiyedogbon John Olu Coris- observed as follows:” Buhari/Idiagbon in 1983 also allocated 38.68 percent and 61.32 percent for capital milex and recurrent respectively.They spent approximately 16 months.
The Ibrahim Babangida regime (1985-1993) spent 19.58 percent on capital milex and 80.42 on recurrent milex.
Abacha/Shonekan/Abdulsalam (1993-1999) regime expended 24.10 percent on capital milex and 75.9 percent on recurrent milex.
The civilian administration of Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007) for a period of 8 years, spent 17.44 percent of her total milex on capital milex and 82.56 percent on recurrent milex.
Yar’adua/Jonathan (2008-2010) had so far spent 34.67 percent on capital milex and 65.33 percent on recurrent.”
Milex refers to military expenditure. Other studies show that since Jonathan took over the reins of leadership, the capital budget for military hardware has been decreasing while recurrent has been increasing.

u read d article at all?
u no hear d man abi na paid alien said they r using 1976 weapons n tanks to fight? was buhari also the HEAdward that tym?

atlwireles:
!976 Tanks? when will these boko harams soldiers stop lying. But boko harams are collecting new weapons from soldiers like this coward, if he is even a soldier at all.

If BBC wants to be fair to the Nigerian army, they will send a camera crew to the NE front lines and show the world, what weapons the Nigerian army is using to persecute this war.

There're BBC reporters in Syria and Iraq, reporting from the front lines, why not send a crew to the NE, let the world see for themselves. Remember 90% of boko haram weapons come from the Nigeria army.

We need a live reporters too in NE !

The army tanks are old. They were brought not in 1976, the army tanks were brought around 1986 to 1995.


They are 20 to 30 year old tanks which were brought during ecomog in Liberia and serra leaone war.


The new tanks the army have are located in abuja and some were sent to Kaduna. And you may find some in port Harcourt. But this was many years ago

There is a need to buy new tanks for western Nigeria unit. All the tanks in Benin, Ibadan,Lagos etc are old tanks

Drone technology is the way to go. That way you don't loss men

Now who takes the blame, GEJ or other leaders that refused to modernise the army with new equipment? What did Obasanjo, Buhari, IBB and abacha do when they where in power, rather the en massed wealth from our collective pocket. GEJ is paying the price for failed leadership of the past

But GEJ still have the financial power today to make it right....But he seems too slow for that...


Let him go

Darlington, ibb and abache brought equipment worth $10 billion.


There have been two major purchase the biafra war purchase and the Liberia war purchase

kolonigga:
mehnnnn i can't wait for Buhari to take over from this massive corrupt regime. Even after GEJ borrowed $1Billion (N205,550,000,000), soldiers still complaining. He needs to leave asap. i dey vex!!!

SAi BUHARI TO THE RESCUE

Sorry, you're already waiting...till 2019. You guys should stop peddling lies of figures and assumptions.

dis is how you will fail exams in school, AK47 and major arnold tanks are the latest as of that year and Nigeria was a proud owner.

cjrane:


[size=15pt]I guess if its not excuses about 'old' tanks, it will be 'old' generals.
I am just wondering if Boko haram are using the best US made brand new tanks.
I was also wondering if the Chadians that have bloodied Boko haram in the last few days since entering the conflict are using brand new American tanks.

Truth is that NA has no desire to fight Boko haram. Moles have continued to supply operational info to BH and many sympathetic army commanders have simply abandoned all our weapons and equipment intact so that Boko haram can 'capture' them and re-arm themselves.

I hope President GEJ realizes that he must accept AU military support in order to beat Boko Haram. He simply cannot beat them using NA alone, even if he gives NA all the weapons in American armory.[/size]

Gbam!

Oduduwaboy:

GEJ had enough time to modernise the armed forces . Its only a failure that blames his father/ancestors for his woes in life!
