Boko Haram proves the Nigerian government to be corrupt and useless - Weekly Conservative British Magazine - 6 May 2014

The country’s annual defence budget is about £3.5 billion yet the frontline soldiers unfortunate enough to be sent into the areas where Boko Haram hangs out are by all accounts drastically under-equipped by comparison with the surprisingly well-provided terrorists.

This wretched affair should make us think twice about economic relations with Nigeria itself. Not just the amount of UK aid that goes there – about £238 million a year, it seems, almost all of it to non-state agencies, which is controversial enough – but investment in Nigeria generally.

Even today’s FT supplement on investing in Nigeria kicks off with a reminder that the place is not just riven with sectarian divisions, of which Boko Haram is the most obvious example, but drastic inequalities.
The country’s GDP is put at $510 billion for last year but about 70 per cent of the population lives in poverty.

Of course that brings us to the argument about whether it’s better to engage with unpleasant and corrupt states in order to make them better or leave them severely alone. Personally, when it comes to Nigeria, I’m all in favour of raising our skirts well above our ankles.

They will soon come here and tell us APC agents at work


In this country "truth" is not part of us . Let me also assume i don't ve truth in me too .
Mr president should continue till forever,if possible rule after life self . He has giving us at least 20 hour constant and stable electricity in all parts of the country (if only for this achievement self, he has done well, there is need for more shout of GEJ till 2019 by all and sundry), schools are doing fine , no strike ,the standard can compete not only in Africa but Europe and America , students are now trooping in from all over Africa to get standard education, the standard of living is too much oky , can't u see? people are not traveling out again . Go and see the arrival arena/terminal at the airport people are rushing down in millions to be partaker of the nations goodies and national cake. See our roads very smooth, most especially the roads in the east . See our security , u can move to anywhere anytime of the day without fear . Nite culture is now back to our country .unemployment is a thing of the past , we are thinking of how to start giving visa to Ghanaians and other African countries to come help us with our dirty and menial jobs in our factories. Water is everywhere , we are even missing pure water and bottle water. See how corruption has gone away in virtually in all sectors, see the faces of corrupt leaders in prison. Gone are the days we import our own exported crude oil. In fact ,u can see how much we get a liter compare to four years ago. See the diversification of our economy,no more dependency on our oil. Our hospitals are now receiving rich patients on like before when our leaders and big men get treatment and die in foreign hospitals. This man has done magic , he must be from another planet . Pls u can add to these numerous achievements of our president. MR PRESIDENT KEEP DOING IT! We want more of these . GEJ till 20we want him to stop ruling us

A City as strategic as Mubi was sacked the day before yesterday and till date we havent heard a single word from the presidency and DHQ. Reports also indicates that Vimtim, the hometown of the CDS Air Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh has also been captured. It is said that Boko Haram commanders are presently lodging in his personal house. - what a shame

What happened to all the millions pumped into the defence budget? What happened to the $1billion loan borrowed for the purchase of arms?

JonaTAN has failed as a commander-in-chief. The areas currently under Boko Haram control is as large as the landmass size of the SS+SE. The sovereignty/territorial intergrity of the country has been breached !

All these articles are wasted on our President. Jonathan cannot understand most of these and if he did would not be able to do anything about corruption, the stolen defence budget or income inequalities. He has even been heard to gloat over the number of private jets owned by billionaires, his people in Otuoke don't have light and millions of young people in the Niger delta are bursting crude oil pipes and engaging in crime and militancy. Is that a normal human being? Many people do not understand the serious intellectual limitations of our President. He was chosen carefully by the Godfathers for qualities that he lacks. The man is a delight to all those who work for him because they can do and steal anything and get away with it. He just does not understand much about anything, a complete blank tabular Rasa. This is the man they need to stay in office, speaking unintelligibly, blinking and flinching confusedly while they take apart the whole country.

Nigeria has been driven into a state of an economic quagmire and you ask our leaders what they tell you is that the problem has been there since time immemorial but here is the big question 'What crime is it if they stop all these forms of corruption during their stay in office?

Candidate for post of the year !!! If na Gbawe talk am dem for say I hate Jonathan. Truth is that it is those who do not want Nigeria to work who continue to fight tooth and nail for the "worst President in the universe" to remain in power. All others, like the author of this article, simply say it as they see it and as things really are.

But who is the article writer trying to deceive? Some opposition agent probably living in the country posting an article on a UK blog site to influence the Nigerian public against GEJ.

U see my brother , am not a party guy , but i could rember all the promises this guy made during his election campaign , it is painful that to me he scored zero. I can't be more fair than that . There are few things one will do as a leader and people will see hope but this guy got their and mess everytin up . Fine , the place was messed up by past leaders and it will take time before we get to our dream land , but no democratically elected leader has any excuse in this dispensation that he can't do one significant thing seen the solid foundation obasanjo laid . This guy came and destroyed even the foundation. People expected much more from him . When he assumed power , my thought and that of most people generally was that he would face just power , when issue of power is solved , so many other problems would be solved including unemployment. What do we have as electricity now , worse than before ! That same ridiculous sayin "up NEPA" is even louder now cos if u get to see light after 3 to 4 weeks u tend to shout at the top of your voice . Sometimes when you get to some estates , u can't even differentiate between federal government light and generator light . Nobody waits for useless government irregular electricity again . Oky , corruption in oil sector unko , we are not even talking corruption generally but in this oil sector. At least that would ve been used for some other projects . Very painful , under the watch of our president , few are getting what is meant for millions ! And our president is a close friend to all these heartless rich . As we can see What we have in our oil sector is heart taking ! I dont want to talk of security , he tried his best , spending billions on weekly bases without any result to show for it . no thanks to bokoharam too, even at this , is any other place apart from the North east safe in this country? If you think so , u are dead before arrival . Security would have been easy if the judiciary has been fair and not corrupt like the one we have . My brother , am angry , people are angry , Jonathan is a failure .
Having said all these , am not doubting the fact that he would win come next year but it would ve to be the worst election ever conducted in the history of mankind . They will need to rig the election at not just gun point (cos it won't be a barrier) but at armored tank point just as if the want to fight bokoharam .

At times the way you people make useless comparisons is astonishing, is ISIS attacking any part of the US that you know of? please my friend try and reason well next time before you make baseless comparisons. What has GEJ achieved in almost his 6 years in power? corruption is high, no electricity, basic amenities are nothing to write home about, security is zero, pray tell what has he done? largest economy in Africa that has little or no effect on Nigerians just the same set of people holding the nation to ransome

So, your country should remain in the gutter because other countries are in the gutter too? How rrretarded can you backward and cavemen thinking losers be?

You people come up with the dumbest and unintelligent rationale ever...

They call you losers unintelligent TANoids and you try your very best to prove them right.
