Misogynist2014:
Sad story. The same Obasanjo accusing Jonathan, the man who has revived this country and is revitalizing our agric sector. Obasanjo should be by now in gaol, senile old fart.

FuckOFF:
Baseless and useless FACT.

BH Was projected to tarnish Jonathan's administration by all means.

They want to take power by all means because their damm oil block will be 50 years in 2015 which is the year it will expire, now they are frustrated and don't know what to do anymore.

*GO and tell your dried fish open teeth to order his boys to be in order and stop killing innocent Nigerians".

I hope you remeber what he was saying in 20111 "boote me, boote me, boote me
" and later as he failed, he said That "Blood will flow on Nigerian soil which is happening today".

DEVILS - God will punish you people for putting Nigeria to this mess.

SirShymex:
And what are Nigerians going to benefit from being an oil producing country?

There's no welfare system in place, despite the oil...and the meagre subsidy they benefit from oil, is about to be cut - shameful.

This is the worst form of extreme capitalism ever known to mankind!

Also, oil prices has dropped, shouldn't the price of oil derivatives also drop as well?

kccarew:
What this commanding officer just did is thoug and risky, if u hear that he is no more do not be surprised. And as for the president...hmmm what can he do, how can he be of help to these problems mentioned..and as for the kings maker, there are also those who want to sit on money therre, so his letter might be sat on, but we nigerians are watching and we have mouth to speak too...gej slove this problem really

Reference:
I doubt this was written by a serving officer in the capacity he mentions for the simple reason that it is short on details. Just as a matter of fact. One example. The infantry soldier regards his weapon in combat as his soul. Why can't this person be specific as to the inferiority or indequacy of the weapon systems provided viz the insurgents and its direct influence in the theatre or specific engagements.

It is not unusual for battlefield feedback to get through to the QM and adjustments can be made but these have to be specific. Are their AK's jamming in the dust, are the magazines inadequate. How many crates of 7.62 does each section carry. Transport, food, water, flak jackets. These are the things a typical soldier is concerned about. A typical soldier will not know the intricacies of command and control and he is not interested.

I feel the problems depicted occur in the offices not on the field. The ultimate impact may be felt there but I can wager that there are power struggles going on within mid to upper level command and control, that is responsible for this. The broad amount of information collated in this report is just beyond that of a typical serving soldier in the theatre and its lack of detail speaks of something more akin to politics rather than operational.

Although I support Goodluck Jonathan's reelection bid, the truth is that everything written by that soldier had been told to me by my cousin who is now at home nd has vowed never to return to the Nigerian Army. He said the army authorities were using them to make money. He told me that he managed to escape an attack by the BH members and he ran out of maiduguri immediately and vowed never to return. He said over 50 soldiers died in that attack and that about 70 of them escaped from that territory back to their families. Many of them have returned to maiduguri after their salaries was stopped but many of them also have vowed never to return to that war zone because their commanders are making money while the rank and file die on the war fronts. He said the last attack that made him decide to become a runaway soldier was the 6th attack and that in all of the attacks, they lost at least 3 soldiers. He spent 1 year and 9 months in maiduguri and was part of the multinational task force which included the Chadian, Cameroonian and nigerien military. He said the cammerounians started to withdraw their troops from the multinational task force because of the attitude of Nigerian military authorities who are just bent on making money from the war. He said the president has tried and that the president has released enuf funds to crush Boko haram but the military authorities buy few old and archaic weapons and embezzle the rest of the money. He infact said that the military authorities especially those of the northern stock do not want the war to end because they are making money from it. He has vowed never to leave the military saying not even his mother can make him go back. As at the last count, I know 17 soldiers (within the rank of private and corporal) who are alive but having gone and see how their generals and colonels feed fat from the war while their colleagues die, they have decided to become runaway soldiers and they have wittily parked out of the barracks and relocated to places that is far from their barracks to rent apartments where they hope to start a new life. 2 of this 17 are related to me and they have both spent close to 2 years in borno and Niger republic border with Nigeria. They say they are lucky to be alive. They ran away not because they are not ready to die for their country but because their authorities are making money from this insurgency and they are dieing because they are ill equipped. His account has been blocked already even though he is yet to take the stipends paid into the account while he was still at the war front. He said they pay them 30,000 naira per month apart from their salaries. 30,000 naira per month means 1,000 naira per day for facing death on a daily basis and when u die at they war front, the corpse of some soldiers who died were not even buried by the army. They were left for vultures to feed on. Even when their CO complains, he is court natialed. He said their former CO is facing court matial because he asked his troops to retreat when they ran out of ammunition while facing Boko hatam. But the militar authority wouldn't hear that. They prefer 200 soldiers die so that salaries and allowances meant for them would go into their personal accounts.

This is sad but it is the truth.

The president needs to do something about this asap. I don't know how he would do it but Nigerian army needs an emergency attention.

oyb:
the letter has me ashamed and afraid.

for the top brass and politicians, this crisis, like so many other things in nigeria, is simply an opportunity to chop. it is the same way the subsidy burgeoned under this administration. while nigerians are dying and bh is advancing, the ogas at the top are sharing contracts , diverting fund and popping champagne

i am ashamed to be a black man. i cannot understand how people can be so short sighted as to be sabotaging our defenses in order to enrich themselves in a time the country is in peril.

tosag:
This country never ceases to amaze me. Why is that we cannot get anything right as a nation? Corruption has eaten deep into the very fabric of our society. Even the once dreaded Nigerian Army has now been reduced to a man-o-war- like organisation because of corruption. One thing is certain, we need a change in this country. We can't continue like this. Another 4 years of GEJ in power would be catastrophic, to say the least.

billyG:
D problem we hav in this cuntry is frm our leaders themselves u tink say jona no no all these does he hav d balls 2 q/s d miltary?jona no be buhari oo!d best u can do 4 this nation iz 2 round those sabotuers up & shot them all.i belike say he do tay we we hear marshial music.

FuckOFF:
Thank you Mr Commander, This is what Nigerians need.

We all know that, that dried fish with open teeth is behind the BH.

He want to get power by all means, if you could remember what he said after losing the election in 2011, he said that "Blood will flow on Nigeria soil" but today it is happening.

The man knows himself very well and he is a chronical bastaard!

GEJ IS THE PRESIDENT TILL 2019, Quote me and i will Bleep your brain.

alaladakosta:
Bad, more reason why we need buhari

IYANGBALI:
what would you say about those girls dat sleep wid sugar daddies and are all doing fine and big boys dat sleep with sugar mummies and are also doing great?I don't believe your theory jo. If I sleep with GeJ and he gives me a very juicy contract no be God butter my bread be dat?

3kay945:
Only the dude knows what he is driving at

LMAyedun:
The fact you don't have any reason to support GEJ again doesn't mean others don't..

IyfeNamikaze:
maybe you lack foresight, the prize of the locally made cars will be within 1.5 - 3 million for a while, but when they start producing more and more people starts buying the cars, the prize will eventually fall drastically. how much was MTN similar card whn it first arrived naija? N15,000.... how much is it now? N100.

@all

[size=20pt]PLEASE IGNORE THE EVIL, IGNORANT, WICKED, UNFOUNDED, DANGEROUS, UNCONSCIONABLE, CALLOUS AND DOWNRIGHT IDIOTIC CLAIMS BEING PEDDLED BY THE CHARACTER GENBUHARI. IT IS TOTALLY UNFOUNDED AND WITHOUT MERIT WHATSOEVER.

HIV/AIDS IS REAL

ARVS CAN BE VERY EFFECTIVE WHEN TAKEN AS PRESCRIBED.

ARVS DO NOT DESTROY THE CD4 CELLS, HOWEVER SOME MAY HAVE OCCASIONAL SIDE EFFECTS. THAT OF COURSE CANNOT RULE OUT ITS OVERALL BENEFICAL EFFECTS.[/size]

Buhari would make an excellent President, his major problem is image misrepresentation in the south, the man is incorruptible and his tenure would see a crackdown on the Nigerian elite, his ideology as in the past remains the same, the poor man first and the rich man last. His candidacy is challenged vehemently by even the elite in the north because they know how ruthless he would be to them if in power. The wealth in Nigeria is always aided by corruption or govt policies working in ones favour against the interest of the majority, its going to take a brave and selfless leader to cleanse the rot in our system, there are many and Buhari is definitely one of them.

BuddahMonk:
The saint that overthrew a democratically elected government free the president and jailed the vice president.-Tribalistic Bigot.

The same man that ask Muslims to vote who will protect their religion-Religious Fanatic.

The same man that under this watchful eyes in PDTF no road was constructed in Southern Nigeria where the money comes from but all in Northern Nigeria -Regional bigot.

The same man that said baboons and monkey will soak in blood-Terrorist.

The same animal that never console the families of the corp members that were killed by his supporters because he lost an election -a Sadist.


If you like bath a pig with Lux Soap and cloth it with Armani Suit, its still a Pig.

He carried out a coup to overthrow a civilian government and now wants to become a civilian president.

He promised to make Nigeria ungovernable should he fail to become president.

He is a strong advocate of sharia law and Nigeria becoming an Islamic nation even though we are a secular state with arguably more Christians than Muslims. An obvious clue to his religious intolerance.

What of PTF? Was he really the saint people make him to be or a cold blooded silent looter, storing up for his presidential ambition.

Buhari is a known sympathiser of Boko Haram. It took ages for him to make a vague condemnation of the sect. Who is he deceiving?

[color=slategrey] re branding how? [/color]

MOBBDEEP:
Thank you very much.
I sincerely appreciate.

But you raised more dust for me.
Kindly pardon & oblige my inquisitive ignorant mind.

Does that means different banks/agents get varying rates depending on their bargaining power?
Let me paint a scenario.
I give a minimum point of 12% for 182 days to my bank Stanbic IBTC who bidded 12.5% and the CBN final rate for the week is 13.5%. Meanwhile, 1st Bank & Union Bank bidded 13% & 13.5% respectively

What is the outcome of the above illustration?

Thank you Sir

Adminisher:
You don't know not passing PIB is bad for the economy?. What kind of education do you have? Or is your love for the zoologist and failed A level teacher blinding you to the truth?. The PIB would make sense of Nigeria's oil in industry and provide jobs. Even the communities stand to gain from it. Please stop worshipping GEJ, only God deserves worship, get a life and emancipate your self and read.

Iroh88:
I wonder why France is always interested in undermining our national security. During the Biafra War they supplied huge quantities of arms to the Biafran soldiers while they couldn't provide as much as a bag of staple food for starving children. Why are they so interested in seeing this country go up in flames??

I think it's about time this got to the Hague. Enough of the horseshit already!

owobokiri:
Blame it on our lilly livered, fun lovjng, utterly corrupt litany of uninventive leaders. . They prove in solid terms every now and then that ultimate political power is not for the half-hearted, the bemused or the childishly naive. Since the begining of this insurgency, every detailed security report points to the fact that a resource hungry france is trying to use cameroun and chad to destablise and if possible balkanise nigeria so as to contineu their unimpeded acces to west African minerals. . The rougue in younde helped them corner bakassi and because of obasanjos lukewarm handling of the rezultant court verdict, a stupid french now feels emboldened to more or else launch a full scale war against Nigeria using one pawn called shekau. Why should we fold our arms and keep quiet, while these bloodsuckers run amock?

Attack is the best form of defence.. why not forment a palace coup against Biya? Why not shoot down somebodys. Helicopte? Why not send some tough armaments to chadian rebels? Why are we just whining when we have enough capabilities to cause maximum havoc in this two very weak countries thereby keeping the two rougish rulers busy? Biya just like Campaore won't be missed by anyone but france who may not want to militarily interven because of Biyas over 30 years baggage of evil. Ditto the simpleton in chad. Infact, with our regioal clouth, we should have passed the stage where this two quasi states will be bold enough to antogonise Nigeria at will. And this is not some empty chest beating; our police force is twice the combined number of this two countries uniformed men! Why is it that our secret service is not running rampant all oveer Ndjamena and Younde?? But then we have the misfortune in this country of being ruled. Y an utterly confused bunch of corrupt men who won't lift a finger to defend the country because their london accounts and mansions will be seized thereafter..

mcpat:
not signing the PIB is also bad for the economy

Reference:
It means more control of the oil sector by Nigeria and the communities where exploration (exploitation) has been undertaken for the last 40 years. It means bad news for the status quo. The unions are fighting for the first point, the communities the second while the rest of Nigeria is desperately hanging onto the last.

Billyonaire:
I will like to ignore your vituperation because I have decided to be a gentleman this very minute. There is no justification for coup detat in 21st century. We as Nigerians MUST steer clear of thoughts of coup and alienate former coup plotters like Buhari from Aso Rock. Dr. Jonathan is financially comfortable, he does not need to loot treasury to afford to train his kids in Nigeria, to feed them with local food and buy his traditional attire. GEJ does not own houses abroad, he doesnt train kids abroad so he has a minimalist lifestyle that doesnt require excessive income.

Learn from me.
