Aksonman: They are not only sick, GEJ speech yesterday put them all in a state of clueless cluelessness. They have been so confused, trying to grasp at straws to remain afloat. They say, those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat history. Barcanista, was it during ESSENCO (Essential Commodity Policy 1983-1985) when Nigerians were almost eating from the dustbin, when Nigerians queue for hours to buy 2 tins of milk, when it was illegal for a single individual to buy a bag of rice, when the austerity was so bad that the military Govt of Buhari deploy troops to supermarkets to regulate commodity prices such as bread, sugar, milk, soap, flour, rice, stockfish that he purchased 541 aircraft? I bet you don't know what ESSENCO is. Imagine our military men being deployed to mama Ogechi shop on standby to make sure she doesn't sell her stockfish more than N50. You better go spend some time with your parents and learn some history lessons from them before you make the greatest mistake of your life electing the brutal general. 3 Likes |

Let us assume that it's true that Buhari did not buy a single rifle for the military, the same Buhari defeated the Maitastine uprising. Babangida used Ecomog to crush Charles Taylor's rebellion in Liberia, Abacha crushed Fonday Sankoh's in Sierra Leone and Nigeria participated in numerous peace keeping operations all over the world with commendation from the UN and AAU. I guess they accomplished these feats with bows and arrows. I hope the president knows that rifles (AK47) and other small arms are being manufactured in Nigeria by DICON in Kaduna for the past 20 years.The truth is that Mr president has not harnessed what weaponry is available to defeat the BH terrorists. Also he has had up to 5 years to improve on this. More importantly weapons alone do not win wars. You need well trained, highly motivated and well led troops to use them. I think the missing link here is motivation and good Leadership. The soldiers in the NE have been complaining of unpaid or underpaid allowances. The buck stops on the table of the president who has failed in his responsibility as the commander in chief. 1 Like |

PDP and TANoids have been trying desperately to discredit everybody other than the clueless one PLEASE READ THIS https://beegeagle./2010/04/26/nigerian-armed-forces-the-post-1975-trend-of-military-hardware-acquisitions/ Following the initial high attained during the Nigerian Civil War, the Nigerian Armed Forces switched gear in its quest to acquire military hardware in the year 1975 which ended on a high note with the delivery in December 1975 of a squadron of MiG-21MF jet fighters for which orders had been placed by the ousted Federal Military Government of General Yakubu Gowon around 1973. Ever since, the Nigerian Armed Forces have scarcely looked back as they press on in the quest to acquire modern military hardware for the nation. Between 1976 and 1979, the military government of General Olusegun Obasanjo acquired the first-ever armoured tanks fielded by the Nigerian Army. This coincided with the movement of the 3 Armoured Division and its relocation from Port Harcourt to Jos in 1976. The 1 Infantry Division had earlier in 1972 also relocated from Enugu to Kaduna. The military regime of Obasanjo also acquired Soviet 122mm artillery guns and penned deals for a MEKO 360 frigate which was delivered in the 1980s under the Shagari regime’s watch, Hippo-class Landing Ships (Tank) and British Vosper Thornycroft corvettes. As far as military hardware acquisition goes, the Shagari regime which held office between October 1979 and December 1983 holds the record. The Shagari regime splashed out 6 billion pounds sterling on military hardware between 1980 and 1982. This was expended on the acquisition of everything from French Combattante III and German Lurssen missile-armed Fast Attack Craft, Italian-made G222 military airlift planes and a squadron of Aermacchi MB-339 advanced trainer/light attack jets, Oto-Melara 105mm artillery guns and Palmaria 155mm self-propelled artillery systems. From France, the Shagari regime penned deals and/or took delivery of Roland Surface to Air missile systems and Aerospatiale (now Eurocopter) Puma helicopters. Also delivered were American-made C130-H30 Hercules (the stretch variant, that is) and anti-aircraft artillery guns. Contracts were signed and deliveries made of Swedish-made Bofors FH-77A 155mm artillery guns, Austrian-made Steyr 4K-7FA armoured personnel carriers, Swiss-made MOWAG Piranha armoured personnel carriers, British-made Vickers Mk.3 Eagle main battle tanks and Alvis Scorpion light tanks, squadrons of Franco-German Alpha jets and Franco-British Jaguar jets, German-made Fox armoured cars, Dornier Do-228 utility aircraft and Soviet-built MiG-21 jets, 122mm artillery guns and BM-21 122mm rocket artillery. Deliveries on some the procurement deals penned by the inimitable President Shehu Shagari, a quiet and modest man, continued well into regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. Some of his successors penned new deals for repeat business on deliveries of Scorpion and Eagle tanks and self-propelled artillery, continuing into this decade. The shortlived regime of General Buhari signed deals for additional deliveries of Scorpion light tanks and Vickers Eagle battle tanks and penned a deal for the delivery of Brazilian-made Engesa Cascavel heavy armoured fighting vehicles in an oil-for-armsbarter trade deal. The Buhari regime was soon swept aside by General Babangida. The Federal Military Government of Nigeria under General Babangida signed deals for further deliveries of Palmaria self-propelled artillery, Alpha jets and Dornier Do-228 utility planes. It additionally signed fresh deals for the delivery of two squadrons(24 units) of L39 Albatross advanced trainer-light attack jets from Czechoslovakia, Romanian-made APR-21 122mm rocket artillery, Italian-built mine countermeasure vessels, British and French coastal patrol craft, Panhard Sagaie armoured fighting vehicles and VBL scout cars. The Abacha regime came and went while the Abdulsalaam Abubakar regime had little time to leave its footprints. In 1999, General Obasanjo again took the elm as democratically elected President and returned to meet an arsenal which had been blighted by sanctions and embargoes. He did very well in the event, acquiring fifteen Chengdu F7 jet fighter-bombers from China, Agusta AW 139 and A109 Power utility helicopters, Russian-built Mi-34, Mi-17, Mi-24V and Mi-35P choppers and gunships, T72 tanks, MT-LB armoured combat support vehicles, Ukrainian-made BTR-3 armoured personnel carriers, BTR-60 and BTR-70 armoured personnel carriers, Mowag Grizzly armoured personnel carriers, Turkish-built Otokar Cobra infantry fighting vehicles, French-made AMX battle tanks,Sea Eagle Offshore Patrol Craft, many dozens of gunboats and utility landing craft, logistics ships, Unmanned Surface Vehicles, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and a comprehensive coastal radar systems. The Obasanjo government also signed deals for additional deliveries of Panhard VBL scout cars, Oto-Melara 105mm artillery, Palmaria 155mm self-propelled artillery systems, T55 and Vickers Eagle battle tanks and Alvis Scorpion light tanks. The Obasanjo regime was succeeded by the government of President Umaru Yar’Adua in 2007 and since then, it has paced orders for or taken delivery of a squadron of twelve Agusta A109LUH choppers, another squadron of twelve Eurocopter AS-550 Fennec attack helicopters, ATR-42MP Surveyor radar planes, five Eurocopter dual-purpose Puma radar helicopters, Shaldag Mk.II Fast Patrol Interceptor Craft, gunboats and combat catamarans and British-built Offshore Patrol Vessels. |

Aksonman:REVEALED: Jonathan Presidency Begged Buhari To Settle Abati “Ungovernable” Slander Libel Suit Out of Court Aug. 4, 2014 NewsRescue- Very few Nigerians know that it was a single evil mastermind, Jonathan’s media man, Reuben Abati that concocted the deadly slanderous accusation against the person of ex- head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, that claimed he made statements of making “Nigeria ungovernable,” in the event he lost the 2011 presidential elections. Abati cooked up the viral lies in a Guardian publication captioned “For the attention of General Buhari” published in April of 2011. Related: NewsRescue- EXPOSED: It Was PDP That Promised To Make Nigeria Ungovernable in 2011, Buhari Never Did! Buhari took him to court and as can be read below, under begging from the Presidency, Buhari agreed to settle out-of-court and Abati and the Guardian he used to be managing editor for published a public apology to Buhari on 11th July 2013. But truth never spread like the slander; and despite the presidency begging Buhari, the other than Abati, all the other media ‘dogs’ of the presidency continued promoting the same slander. Rather shocking to realize this. NewsRescue has opened a $1000 challenge for whoever can provide where Buhari ever said anything about making Nigeria ungovernable in 2011, just to dig out the truth once and for all; because this will be very unfair to the person of Buhari that we continue to peddle this evil slander. An article we missed that was in all major dailies: By Comrade Godwin Ameh; DailyPost on January 13, 2013 The presidency has begged former Head of States and national leader of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) to settle out of court the libel suit he filed against the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati. It would be recalled that Abati had on page 51 of the April 22, 2011, edition of The Guardian newspaper, written an article entitled “For the attention of General Buhari,” where he claimed that Buhari made an unguarded statement which stirred the post- election violence that almost tore the nation apart. The former Military General however, regarded the publication as libellous, aimed at denting his hard earned name and image. However, in a copy of the Terms of Settlement filed before a Lagos High Court in Ikeja, the ‘warring’ parties have agreed to settle the matter out of court. According to the terms of settlement, dated December 2012 and filed before the administrative judge of Lagos State, Justice Opeyemi Oke, the claimant (Buhari), Mr. Tope Adebayo ( lawyer to Buhari), Abati and Mr. Kunle Sanyaolu (lawyer to The Guardian) signed the terms of settlement. But the lawyer to the first defendant (Abati), Dame Carol Ajie, refused to sign the document. The refusal may not be unconnected to the conditions and terms of the agreement. It was gathered that the parties further agreed that Abati and The Guardian should retract and apologise to Buhari in certain form and contents. “The claimant and defendants have agreed and resolved that the retraction and apology shall take the following form and contents: ‘Re: For the attention of General Buhari’- On April 22, 2011, The Guardian Newspaper published an article on Page 51 titled ‘For the attention of General Buhari’ where certain allegations were made against General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), GCFR, concerning the 2011 election and General Buhari’s alleged role in the violence emanating from the elections. “The publication was based on information which we believed to be reliable at that time. Since the publication, however, we now have reason to believe that certain parts of the story were not verified to be correct before the publication. “We assure General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), GCFR, of our highest esteem and regret any distress or embarrassment which the said publication may have caused him. “The claimant and defendants agree that on the execution of these Terms of Settlement, the defendants are discharged from all or any liabilities or obligations arising from the said publication.” http://dailypost.ng/2013/01/13/presidency- begs-buhari-to-settle- slander-case-out-of-court/ GUARDIAN Re: For the attention of General Buhari Thursday, 11 July 2013 00:00 Editor SIR: “On April 22, 2011, The Guardian Newspaper published an article on page 51 titled “For the attention of General Buhari” wherein certain allegations were made against General Muhammadu Buhari’s alleged role in the violence emanating from the elections. The publication was based on information which we believed to be reliable at that time. Since the publication, however, we now have reason to believe that certain parts of the story were not verified to be correct before the publication.

Makes sense? Now recollect what NSA Andrew Azazi revealed before he was killed and it all adds up.

FOOLS, ABEG TELL US ANOTHER LIE. An armoured car as the name implies is an armoured vehicle used to move men and materials to and from combat zones. They can also be used as ambulances to evacuate the wounded from @hot@ zones. Armoured cars are more or less APC'S (different from armoured tanks). Artillery guns are used for long range attack on the enemy. The artillery pounds a particular area, before the infantry go in for either attack or mop up operations. They are completely diff.

I believe GEJ does not even edit any script given to him before he mounts the podium to spill them all out. Perhaps he was bust taking "isoko water" and relied so much on the stupid intelligence of Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe whose brains are made of Indomie. GEJ is bereft of memory or should I say has short memory for him to say GMB did not equip the military when he was the head of state. |
