PMB always criticised obj, Musa and GEJ administrations for being undemocratic and corrupt but he keeps using their policies and actions as precedent. that means is not different from them.

That $1B has not been approved by N.A

That is why it was called anticipatory approval.

Pls GEJ is quite different from Buhari.

Yeah, GEJ embraced corruption wholeheartedly, he gave it new face and new meaning. He even tried to play it down by differentiating between corruption and stealing.

Only an uneducated person will still claim "Stealing is not corruption" translates to "Embracing corruption" or "creating new meaning for corruption".

Till today the APC have never established any info or proof to back up their claim that GEJ is the most corrupt politician in the nations history. All Buhari could do is threat threat n Moe threat without evidence.....Okiri kiri ka ana agba ukwu ose, Adiro ari ya ari.

Abachas looted funds have been repatriated several times , what is holding bubu from repatriating the GEJs stole


It's an irony that GEJ remains the only president who ruled Nigeria n didn't gift himself with an oil well within his region.

GEJ asked for $2 billion for security and to fight Boko Haram and he took that money and gave it to DASUKI/ATM to share with his crooked and corrupt PDP cronies without any approval or impute by the Nigerian legislature and on top of that, the same legislature didn't see anything wrong with it so they looked the other way and asked no question.


PMB received approval by the Nigerian FEC to take $ 1billion for security and he took half of it to buy aircraft from the US, it was a government to government purchase, no middleman, no corruption or shady dealings. He also had to meet critical deadlines or the deal is off the table.

Now, the same incompetent and worthless Nigerian legislature that looked the other way when GEJ stole 4 times that amount without their approval or any kind of notification.

This is the same worthless and incompetent legislators are yet to approve the national budget which is creating uncertainties in the market and business world, delaying projects and government programmes all over the country and also affecting job creation.

Like I say all the time, the main enemies and the most unpatriotic people in Nigeria are the Nigerian lawmakers, they collect so much taxpayers money and we get almost nothing in return, they are nothing but parasites and the fact that PMB did not go through them is driving them crazy because they used to be part of the whole arms purchase looting schemes when they used to but obsolete, substandard and worthless military hardwares for our military like GEJ buying jets that can not drop bombs or even carry weapons and helicopters with wrong propellers that killed Nigerian pilots.



PMB did the right thing and I'm glad he made the transaction a government to government transaction and the US government openly confirmed payment and receipt and we are ultimately getting brand new 12 Tucanos with guns, bombs, missiles, avionics and so on.



I know PMB is a good man and he's trying his best to explain himself and calm the legislative clowns, but I don't really think they deserve any acknowledgment.

You addressed two separate sentences as one. You need to improve your understanding of sentences.

At the last update, close to 1 trillion naira has been recovered from the looting that happened under Jona alone. Abacha's looting was mainly between himself and his family members while GEJ's looting was spread across all those worked with him. Don't get yourself confused.

It's an irony that GEJ remains the only president who ruled Nigeria n didn't gift himself with an oil well within his region.

Glory be to God Almighty that my President is vindicated by the section 82 of The Nigerian 1999 Constitution.
Meanwhile, our able President had a meeting earlier December (14th day of the month to be precise) with the states' Governors and Senators where they agreed on withdrawing up to 1 billion for security purpose in the Nation.
Dear President Mohammadu Buhari; you are the genuine man approved of God Almighty to destroy the old foundation of corruption in Nigeria.
We are with you and God Almighty will not fail you.
God bless you sir!
More grace to your elbows!!!

""1 trillion naira has been recovered from the looting that happened under Jona alone""

And as Bubu recovered trillions from GEJs regime (NONE FROM GEJ), Prices of goods n services kept skyrocketing to as much 300%? And the dollar drove the naira to N500? grin.

He must be a negative magician & u his servant. Lmao



And 1 full tenure has passed n Buhari did build any power plant to address the electricity issue of Nigeria

Assuming that GEJ got the second term, people like you would have gone back to your village or crossed into Benin. GEJ presided over an administration that made so much money from oil sales that no administration can rival! But before he left power in May 2015, he was already borrowing to pay salaries.

Power plant? Were not you among the wailers who encouraged GEJ to sell existing power generating plants and distributing companies to his cronies, telling us that government had no business being in business?

Explain this Oga!!!
What was the price of crude oil under GEJ


Mind u, in the past, no president ever complained that the price of crude oil was low and used it as an excuse to fail. Crude oil was sold @ 9, 11, 15, 18, 27 dollars per barrel in the past and life still went on and power plants were built with so many more infrastructural developments. Stop using crude oil price as an excuse for buharis failures. He failed to the extent that he didn't start n finish any project in 4 years.

""

That's not what I asked u oga.
Show me any power plant Buhari built in the last 4 years to address our power problems.

US approves possible $462M A-29 Super Tucano sale to Lebanon

10 JUNE, 2015 SOURCE: FLIGHTGLOBAL.COM BY: JAMES DREW WASHINGTON DC
Sierra Nevada Corporation could receive an order from Lebanon for six of its American-built A-29 Super Tucanos following the US government’s approval of a potential foreign military sale.



https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/us-approves-possible-m-a-super-tucano-sale-to-lebanon-413350/


Nigeria bought 12 and paid the same amount Lebanon paid for just 6.

Bungalows are not the same, some cost N1 million, some cost N2 million, some cost N10 million, some cost N50 million and some cost Nbillions. Ask yourself why some cost more and some cost less.

Fingers are no equal.

And you people get mad when they call you Lazy.

You are a fool. Why do we compare ourselves with only the worst scenarios ? Your argument for that price is because Lebanon bought 6 for the same price...are you normal at all ?

The recent letter and excuse sent to the National Assembly is an afterthought, because the presidency have realized it's a good ground to impeach the Terrorist Presidiot!!

The National Assembly should impeach him now or for ever be regarded as "woman wrapper"! The deed have been done! It is tantamount to somebody committing a crime and subsequently giving cogent reasons to justify the crime!

And where are those shameless nairaland zombies and BMC that were giving lame reasons why the Terrorist Presidiot have the right to dip hand into the money to purchase the aircraft without the approval of the National Assembly?!!

Ignorant and unintelligent ipob, you posted rubbish that says Afghanistan paid $175 million for 6 aircraft to prove that we paid too much for 12 aircraft and I showed you facts that another country paid 3 times more for the same 6 aircraft and the same amount we paid for 12 aircraft.


Shouldn't common sense tell you that cost can never be the same across the board? The final cost depends on whatever extras and options you demand, from guns/amount of rounds, number of bombs, missiles/brand, avionics, visions, sensors and radar/Per sophistications, parts and training, equipped hanger and maintenance facilities and so on.


Are we going to pay the same amount for the same kind of car even though I added custom tires, custom stereo systems, alarms and security systems, spoilers and custom leather trims to mine?

Why is this simple fact and concept so hard for you lazy thinkers to comprehend?


Some of you are just too ignorant and backward to be of any uses to any society.

Boko Haram: Saraki Lauds U.S. Over Sale Of Fighter Jets to Nigeria
By Olusegun Abisoye - December 29, 2017

The President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, has commended U.S. Government for its support for Nigeria’s bid to defeat the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East through the approval of sale of A29 Super Tucano fighter jets to Nigerian Air Force.

Saraki gave the commendation in response to Wednesday’s announcement by Nigeria Air Force that the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Stuart Symington, had presented Letters of Offer and Acceptance to Nigeria.

This represents the official American government’s offer to sell defence articles and services to Nigeria during a visit to Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sidique Abubakar.

He noted that “I recall on Aug. 28 when I received an eight-man U.S. Congressional delegation headed by Sen. Christopher Coons of Delaware and we discussed on
the need to lift embargo on sale of weapons to Nigeria by U.S.

A national assembly that couldn't approve 2018 budget since oct 2017 will meet Feb 2018 deadline?
Yet will be first to condemn the killings in the country as if the military will fight with batons?
Anyways the ECA has no constitutional provision, so the impeachment angle is mere display of infantile rascality.

The constitution doesn't recognise the ECA therefore the parliamentary approval might just be a reimbursement from the consolidated federation account or mere formalities.
