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.

The Campaign team of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Candidate, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), yesterday, tackled President Goodluck Jonathan on his comments during his presidential campaign flag-off in Lagos that Buhari did not equip the military when he was head of state.

Citing a comparative study of the amount spent by various governments on military hardware as part of total defence budget, the Buhari team in a statement by Mr. Dele Alake (Director, Strategic Communications, Buhari Campaign Organisation), said the Buhari administration spent more than the Yar’Adua/Jonathan administration in real terms.

Published in the Journal of African Macroeconomic Review, Volume 2 Number 1, the study, entitled: “ Comparative Regime Analysis of the Trend and Structure of Military Expenditure in Nigeria, 1980-2010,” revealed that while the Buhari/Idiagbon spent 38.68 per cent of total allocation to the military on capital items such as military hardware between January 1984 and August 1985 when it was overthrown, the Yar’Adua/Jonathan administration spent 34.67 per cent of military budget between May 2007 and May 2010.

Authored by Anyanwu Sarah, Egwaikhide Chris and Aiyedogbon John Olu Coris, the study observed as follows: “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. The Ibrahim Babangida regime (1985-1993) spent 19.58 per cent on capital milex and 80.42 per cent on recurrent milex. Abacha/Shonekan/Abdulsalam (1993-1999) regime expended 24.10 per cent on capital milex and 75.9 per cent on recurrent milex.

The civilian administration of Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007) for a period of eight years, spent 17.44 per cent of her total milex on capital milex and 82.56 per cent on recurrent milex. Yar’adua/Jonathan (2008-2010) had so far spent 34.67 per cent on capital milex and 65.33 per cent on recurrent.”

Milex refers to military expenditure.

Other studies show that since Jonathan took over the reins of leadership, the capital budget for military hardware has been decreasing while recurrent has been increasing.

For instance, analysing the 2012 defence spending as proposed by the Jonathan administration, APC Governorship Candidate for Kaduna State, Mallam Nassir el-Rufai observed: “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.

“The Navy and Air Force are slightly better. The Navy is buying two (yes only two) offshore patrol vessels and six coastal patrol boats and some spares. The Air Force intends to acquire 12 Augusta 109 helicopters, some uniforms, the reactivation of C-130, G222, Alpha Jets and maintenance, and some buildings. No new fighter jets this year!”

The situation was worse in the recently signed Budget 2015 which allocated 90 per cent of military expenditure to salaries and other recurrent needs while a meagre 10 per cent went to military hardware.

Empty threat..

My ribs are cracking hard... This is just a funny piece. I have nothing against any tribe but you are a funny dude..

MayorofLagos:
My brother, this is the problem I continue to have with Yoruba! Yoruba need to learn to discriminate, our attitude and brand of justicqe and fairness to all need to change. In social interaction with Yorubas no one demands reasoning, there is no need for it because it issues naturally as part of cultural ethos in our relationship with ourselves. We extend these ethos to others in the philosophical belief that "we must do unto others as we want them do unto us", which is an admirable quality out of the omoluabi creed. This is what makes us a fair and just and orderly society.

We truly must identify with those who were groomed in similar ethics and treat them as our peers. Those whose cultural society was not organized and ordered like ours and have apathy to our ethics and omoluabi creeds do not belong in same circle of social heirarchy as Yorubas, therefore we must discriminate. Our society was not structured by constitution but by culture and customs. We are not peers with Ibos....they are subhuman to us, therefore in our interaction we must not demand reason out of them or ask for analysis, they are not Yorubas and are not benevolently gifted with a capability for reasoning.

You talk to Ibo the same way you will address a donkey.....you tell him what you need to say and influence his response, if his response is rebellious, as most likely it would be, then you flog him into submission. He respects those who use force to subdue him...he sees rebellion and force as a perfect mix and calls it bravery. He does not respect persuasion and grace, which Yorubas are known for, and is why he calls us cowards.

You have spent two, almost three pages trying to get a donkey to accept what you are saying....and on the third page you are still calling for him to apply (analytics), a value that has no meaning to him whatsoever. Where is your whip to beat the freak into submission?

Cheers bro!

abacrested:
OP, why spread wrong information like this? Most of us in this forum uses that airport quite often,this propaganda will only make us love GEJ the more.i I used that airport more than 5 times last year thereby saving money and the stress of going to lagos . gradually the airport is progressing like some other airports in Nigeria. The old airport was upgraded and the new terminal is been constructed, I was following the progress each time I visit the airport so op don't worry we will manage GEJ for another 4 years because buhari is not an option in this 21st century. Come to think of it, do you know how many people that uses that airport Daily, business men in onitsha and Aba uses the Ai rport and are happy .

mindtricks:
OP nice one! One thing I can say is people esp in position should be warry things they do, as some day, the stories will be told like this. Obviously, every little mistake a person makes can turn to become a big issue in times to come. . .It's always good to carry the people along.

iluvnaija:
I think when Buhari was arrested in dordan barracks that's where his might have misplaced his certificate.

I don't know, just thinking.

Baddestguyp:
I see...but then I wouldn't vote for a dictator or someone who incites terrorism. I would rather let this country develop slowly than watch it fall into the hands of a monster like buhari.

my take tho

theV0ice:
GMB the man

thanks op

Voice234:
sounds like you are begging for Jonathan but it's too late, he didn't make hay while the sun was shone.

The Nigerian mentality is to excuse failure on grounds of sectarian affiliations. A shame.

Kenai:
Give it up, loser. You're starting to look like a market pick pocket who gets caught and stripped at the market square, and realizing he has nothing more to lose, begins to dance like a fool.

The Akanu Ibiam airport is a work in progress which we all support. We can see the progress and are not losing sleep over it.
You should focus on your 419 governors who are only good at constructing 3D airports on AutoCAD.

LRNZH:
Your post is long but makes very little meaning. Try and improve.
Why don't you show us GEJ's 2015 budget and the portion earmarked for the 'work in progress' at Akanu Ibiam airport in Enugu you refer to.
Otherwise, shelf it.

LRNZH:
Your tactics is very amateurish.
Did you read this?
Why don't you focus on the scam at the Enugu 'International' Airport and debunk the OP article. Stop running from pillar to post if you cannot do that.
The last time I checked Fashola wasn't in the article. Abi you need reading glasses eh nwanne?

anonimi:
You can open your teeth from here till Armageddon, it won't change the fact that Fashola and his Association of Pretending Crooks, APC has been scamming Lagosians for the past 16 years with plenty of media noise and PROPAGANDA to cover up their FRAUD.

So he did not get federal government approval for the red line.
Did he not also get approval for the blue line for which he has been constructing since time imo-river and was opening teeth yanfu yanfu like you did above in Toronto upon sey im go buy aloku scrap locomotives

anonimi:
You are obviously beyond shame for whatever your personal MOTIVATION is.
The real scam is Alhaji Babatunde Raji Fashola's litany of yoyo projects and EMPTY promises such as the rail project that he said would have been completed since June 2013 i.e. 19 months ago =>

What a bunch of empty NOISE makers even collecting loan on top of the IGR of almost N300 billion they rake in from our pockets, wallets, handbags and bags
Abi you don enter the aloku scrap trains from Toronto ni?

Kai Buhari!!!

Goodluck Jonathan... bluntly refused to grant the necessary right-of-way approval to the Lagos Metropolitan Transport Authority (LAMATA) for the construction of its redline light rail project from Iddo to Ifo in Ogun State with a capacity to carry one million passengers per day.

If Enugu international airport is a scam what are we going to call ibadan Airport, Akure Airport and Illorin Airport which even though was designed for the taking off and landing of Airlines are now used for the taking off and landing birds and rodents

Kenai:
The "consistent" flooding was just ONE flooding incident that happened mid last year.
And if you want to sit there and spew trash, I can show you pictures of flooded airports in developed countries as well.
I'm someone who has traveled to other countries to know you're simply a bonehead trying to make an issue out of a non-issue.
Weren't you the same clown who once created a thread trying to compare GEJ's trains with trains from other countries, only to post pictures of TRAMS in there?

That's enough to tell you're simply an ignoramus trying to spread nonsense propaganda.

LRNZH:
Guy!!!!
It is obvious you didn't read this article. Check the source. It was published today, Jan. 13, 2015.
Excerpt:
This airport is a big risks to international airlines especially those from Europe, America, Asia, Middle East because it is international in propaganda and not in facilities. Egypt Air and South African Airways have rejected overtures to use the airport. The only airlines that had the magnanimity to use the Airport are Ethiopian Airline which operates skeletal flights to Addis Ababa and in connecting flights to some destinations.
The Turkish Airlines signed agreement in principle as announced by Vice President Sambo a year ago but fled back to Greece after inspecting the equipments on the ground. If that airport is truly international airlines like Virgin Atlantic Airways, Lufthansa Airlines, British Airways, KLM, British Caledonian Airlines, Oatar Airways, Emirates Airlines will ply the route, but for now all overtures from certain quarters to lure these carriers to Enugu have failed woefully due to what they termed poor quality infrastructure. As at January, 2015, no airline from Europe, America, Asia and Middle East have landed or taken off from Enugu International Airport.
Has any of this changed? Is the writer lying?

Samchelsea:
how will work progress on it when those evil propaganda team succeed in implicating the gallant woman that started the giant stride....see bro we Igbos are wiser now, if we see someone doing something commendable we don't repay his goodwill with insult rather appreciation
In Jonathan we stand bro
