The information is accurate. I just checked it.

Do we both realize that we are arguing over a website that started keeping records from 1988 (except Nigeria used to be in NATO prior to 1988), I have looked at the spreadsheet for all member countries and it begins from 1988, so we should be asking ourselves how the data from "Buhari Years" came about.
I think thats the first puzzle we should solve before taking an I.Q test. I did take one not too long ago and it wasn't bad.
but i would be happy to look again if any one can tell me where on the page in the link the data was taken from, thats if I missed it already.

Adminisher:
The figures on the right are not numbers of weapons but dollar amounts.
Nigeria was indeed spending billions on defence in 1982, 1983, 84 and 85..
Let me give you an IQ test. How came Nigeria was able to spend more than $900million on defence in 1984 when oil was just $35 but could not even spend $300million last year when oil was $120 a barrel?.

No GEJ rather is out to deal with the animal general. Yes thats what fela called him specifically. " my people are useless, my people are senseless, my people are undisciplined, which kind talk be that o, na animal talk be that o"( beast of no nation" truly the animals are coming back to ask for his rulership. Most of us are humans and not part of that and will never be. And if I will add, come failbuhari 14 the strong and right thinking will decide for the weak and senseless.

Please any response refer to Fela.

southniyikaye:
you don't need to insult a fellow,he doesn't know,all u need to do was enlighten him...all these pdp people,no wonder the zoologist dey govern una like say una be animal...

Sometimes people just need to think more to understand what the speaker(in this case GEJ) is trying to say. He means the offices are not just there to waste money but doing some work.( for which there must be expenses of some sort, however small)
Yea the word "spend" must have been used to make it nicer doesnt mean the listener shouldn't use his head to understand what is being said. Anyways when some people don't understand how things like these work .

Always looking for something bad from ever word their president spews from his mouth. Thats the worst form of "Pharising and Sadduceeisng".

Samchelsea:
if they are spending illegal money news outlet such as Sahara reporters would have made the revelations since

Trying to make us believe that nigeria was spending 1 billion dollars on defense in 1984. This woman must think we are very stupid. I wouldn't even bother to verify this nonsense.

Ngwakwe:
Was Abike Dabiri the military personnel that received those items or is this part of the repackaging campaign meant to deceive the gullible.

Just like saying Godswill Akpabio built Ibaka Sea port when history is written in 30 years time

Buhari is contesting for the President and still alive to refute the allegations or remain silent as a sign of acceptance.

Please do you understand what a free market economy is? Its policies like the one you are advocating that Maduro the former bus "conductor" is busy implementing in Venezuela, that is running down that economy.
This is the 21st century and running an economy is way more complex than mere use of common sense alone. Tell ur oga to show his certificate then we can move on from there to his plans of stabilizing the oil price etc.

MalcoImX:
The reason for hoarding was to make a kill, profit-wise and probably that was what your daddy did. It is a crime (economic sabotage) to hoard, according to the government of that day.
I can understand why you and your daddy were unhappy with Buhari. It was for these types of acts that the elites don't like him. But as a leader, you have to make policies and take decisions that you think will serve the general good. And surprisingly, many could not understand all the noise about Buhari. It is these same policies that adhered him to the populace. They know, ultimately when push comes to shove, he will protect their interests.

And this price control (Almajiri Economics) has been deemed by economists as the second fastest way to destroy an economy, after a nuclear bomb.

Aksonman:
Again, APC/Buhari fans are opening threads that are further sinking any chance of GMB's election.

The queues in Buhari's era was caused by ESSENCO, an extremely foolish economic idea initiated by the dumb General to control and fix prices of basic commodities.

Sending soldiers into markets to break locks and force business men and women to sell at government fixed prices.
Naturally, goods disappeared from the shelves, and a black market for ordinary items such as soap and toothpaste emerged.

This is the ALMAJIRI ECONOMICS that Buhari wants to re-introduce in the 21st century Nigeria, with promises like offering free food and N5k a month to poor people without any mention of a National Identification policy or income data base that will help govt know who is poor and who is not.

Rubbish.

He must have meant impeccable, but the crowd was applauding. GEJ was speaking from his head at least, the general couldn't even read a script that had been prepared for him.

Collynzo22:
Sayng new year is tomorrow could mean a lot of things, people actually use that word to describe the nearest future.
Everyone does that.
Meanwhile, here is your master Buhari describing his running mate Osibanjo as a man of IMPEACHABLE integrity.
Fast forward to 3:34

BIG LIE

marcangelo: Hmmm, NICE GUYS FINISH LAST

mate, lets drink to that, the first round is on me, no mind all these unlucky folks out here, when you meet a real lady no body go tell you to trust her, and treat her like a princess, singing in Whizkid;s Voice ** I love my baby, thats my baby...*

hustla: You just painted my scenario
14 year old girl don dey straff...if you see a pretty girl at 20+ that hasn't had s....ex before in 2013.. My bro..hold on to am

depends on the Lady you are going out with, most times when we are with the deceptive types our minds tend to warn us, but we are too head-strong, probably because the "mumu trigger" has been pressed. when you meet the right lady you will know, even when she tells you no sex before marriage, you will be eager to oblige her, more so when the lady in question has been un-tested and in her 20's, OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH God bless my soul

Budget of the New York Police department for fiscal year 2013, OP i had this discussion some time ago with my friends, letting them know how far we still have to go as a country but then they would always say the country is very rich. Of a truth Nigeria as a country is one that can be called "potentially richest" considering all her endowments (human and material) but at the end of the day the Hydra headed monster called corruption presents it self through visionless leaders and we remain relegated to the background.

30 millionp/a, I don't get, is the figure for councillors or state house of assembly members, because I think that will be insulting our national assembly members IMHO

Goddex: So, Ameachi's commissioner for Agriculture and the Ikwerre LGA chairman are still youths, ehn?

Tells me something about the coterie of advisers in that cabinet, and reminds me of the biblical rehoboam and his youthful advisers

And 11) you are a nice person, you deserve someone better.lol

These men (PDP) mean business, are they now on rapid? (thinking)

See that youth in his hat.lmao

naijababe: I know this is coming a bit late but you might still find the info useful.

Subsea engineering - Cranfield Uni but their minimum requirement is a 2.1
Pipeline '' - Newcastle Uni, but with a 2.2 they may ask you to do a pgd first before letting go on to the full MSc
Corrosion '' - Manchester Uni has a very strong and well respected program and as far as I know will accept a 2.2, that may have change now though. I think this course is the best for you given your background. The other two are more suited to Mech. engineers.

with a good measure of luck, Cranfield might accept a 2-2 as well,(at the end of the day, the decision becomes a function of the resulting competition from applications)
