More Spent On Security Votes Per Year Than Army Budget In Nigeria by Naijiant: 11:28am On May 28, 2018

“Camouflaged Cash”, a new report launched today by the groups, estimates that security votes in Nigeria total around $670 million annually – more than the annual budget of the Nigerian Army.

Not much wrong with the constitution. A lot wrong with the people who have to uphold it. "Only a poor workman blames his tools".
