GEJ is not a good leader. He talks before he thinks most of the times.

“When one carefully peruses the capital budgets of the DHQ and Army, most of the capital spending is going towards buildings, some ammunition and vehicle spares.

This year, we are not buying any equipment for the armoured, artillery and other mechanisation needs of the Army – at least not anywhere in the budget".


How can a president who has been facing insurgency problem since 2009/2010 think he can defeat it if modern hardware are not purchased? They chose to spend large chunk of security budget on buildings and military infrastructures where it is easy to be looted than purchasing needed hardware to tackle the insurgency perhaps with the hope that miracle will make it disappear; or just for some other political gains.

The clueless president, without doing any findings, or just to score cheap political points was busy accusing those who ruled before him for the state of our military institution whereas those leaders performed better than him in providing military hardware which are what you need to defend the sovereignty and integrity of a nation.

“Buhari/Idiagbon in 1984 also allocated 38.68 per cent and 61.32 per cent for capital milex and recurrent respectively. They spent approximately 16 months".


It will be an unforgivable mistake for Nigerians if this man called GEJ is not kicked out with the February 14 election.

Buhari ruled about 29 years ago, Do you expect our army to still use those outdated weapon , you are not educated

What is this illiterate talking about again.



We don't even need ammunition, we take the name of God or whatever beg you to issue out command for these illiterate fools to stop killing innocent life and destruction of already arid dead economy of the North Eastern states so that the fund for ammunition will be channeled to infrastructure and other important needs of Nigerians.

is this illiterate still speaking

how many lives has he impacted since leaving the army? , just finding power like a bloodthirsty demon


no business in his name, he cant create jobs, but promises 20 millions jobs out of thin air and constant power supply when his generation failed to step up when asian giants were stepping up

Benz 82, flat boot is still on the road bro.

Pls tell me the lifespan of an AK47 rifle or a T-55 tank.

Chief, do you not realize that 1984 was a long time ago? All the peacekeeping we've been going to, which equipment have we been using? Serria Leone, Liberia, Sudan etc. And FYI, some of the Alpha jets bought during that time are still up and running. This I know for a fact. The jet that "disappeared" in Adamawa some time ago was one of them. If you don't believe me, Google is your friend.

darkjorse:
When Nigerian Arsenal is in the north and the military is controlled by the northerners and they have shown clearly that they are anti-Goodluck Jonathan,He would be a fool to buy military equipment BTW Buhari was a military man and probably his cousin was in charge of the arsenal,

Why don't you provide your source that links GMB with the 'illiterates killing Innocent life (sic)' before you we confirm that you are unlearned?

redcliff:


Your folly is out of this world.. how nany of those cars are on the road? And what do they look like at the moment?.. 20years, with good maintenance is the life span of one...1983 till now is what? Couples with our non-maintenance culture and non challant attitude..besides i dont think a weapon of 29years would sufficiently stand against a modern one.. thus is not an excuse.. the only person taking us back in this country is jonathan.. why would he be arguing with a government that was ousted over 30years ago and making comparisms with that government.. of course no matter how bad things are with this government, it would still be better than a govet of 3 decades ago if not for one thing but for the fact that the world is technologically advancing.. GeJ is taking us down a very deep well we might not come out from

papaejima1:
Beats my imagination how people reason upside down!
If our military had all the purported weapons as is being trumpeted about, how come the same opposition is complaining the Boko Haram is better equipped than the Nigerian Military?

Boko Haram fights with IEDs, quad barreled Shilkas, Hilux mounted Anti Aircraft guns and AK47s. The APCs they use are our T-55s and others captured in raids.

So where are the ones Buhari and co bought if the above scenario plays true?

vantage7:


Bros, we no get MIGs. What we have are alpha jets. The newer Chengdu J-7 Airguards, which were developed from the MIG-21 (perhaps that's what you were referring to) that we have were purchased by Yar'adua.

And since you said "thanks to military corruption..." don't you think a former military man (a general and head of state, no less) would have a much higher ability to curb military corruption than an academic who did not have anything to do with the military until he became it's commander-in-chief?

PassingShot:


Give it up mister! GEJ is not competent to be a local government chairman.

revolt:
None of them is competent enough, but Gej is sure a better candidate than buhari......This has always been my stand

papaejima1:

Lol, I elect not to trade insults on this forum with you but one thing is clear, weapons bought in 1984 cannot just disappear into thin air because they are old. Heck, even the US uses the Abrams Tank as its MBT. Note that the Abrams was designed between 1972 and 1979, then entered service in 1980.
The ones being used in Iraq today date from the 80s till present. Other countries even scramble for desert storm leftovers!

Which school una go sef?

Na waa oo.

vantage7:


Na sticks we been dey carry go dem Darfur and Liberia and Sierra Leone?

Enice:
Do you know that weapons when outdated are decommissioned? Some are resold like tompolo buying those war ships or boats, some are donated to lesser countries like the US Navy donating war ships to Nigeria, some are kept in antiquity museums like those displayed at NAF base Kaduna, while some are destroyed. See your life! Na you no come go school.

Sorry, majority of Nigerians have had enough of GEJ. We need to try Buhari. He cannot be as bad as Mr. Clueless.

just incase u were not born then, he's ruled b4 and ddnt do shyte. My bro was born wen he was head of state, my bro is a father now and the same dude is still running for same seat.

All that I know, but it still does not answer the question!

Finally, which country did we donate our outdated equipment to or which museum houses buhari's 900million arms?

That's the bone of contention.
Am waiting!
