The AW-101 is a helicopter, NOT a jet.

Mr president you lost the opportunity to shine

Even in otuoke you can't shine

You are only shinning in the land of rising sun

You are also a role model to corrupt Nigerians, wailers & online E-rat

Oi t.w.a.t, don't you have some begging to do with your leprousy infested colleagues, or 13 year old children to defile? You insult gej yet you're still a wretched slowpoke.

Jonathan awarded contacts but nothing was done until this administration came on board. There were no electricity projects, no roads, no rails and no money. Now with low revenue from oil, money is now in abundance and roads and rails and electricity projects are being awarded and executed. In fact, we went to borrow $30B to do more projects. We shall have bumper harvests this year, but there will be acute famine next year because countries as far as Russia are falling over themselves to buy them off. Thank you President Buhari, thank you APC, thank you Garba, Nigeria don survive!

JESUS CHRIST!!! JUST LOOK AT THIS BLOODY POST RIDDLED WITH BLATANT LIES!! How the hell do you sleep at night

The most extensive project implementation in the power sector with the HIGHEST number of power stations built and commissioned occurred under GEJ. That's not even including extension and rehabilitation of both our transmission and distribution systems, or the massive and audacious sector reform. It is thanks to GEJ that power rose from a paltry 1500MW to 5000MW. Tell me, what the FVCK has Buhari done.

The GEJ administration is responsible for rehabilitating and building the longest length of roads nationwide. THIS was confirmed by the present minister of Darkness and Works Fashola HIMSELF! Yet you're here spewing CRAP.

The GEJ administration was equally responsible for the massive rehabilitation of both air and rail transport facilities. It is thanks to that quiet man from Otuoke that Nigerians now enjoy the rail network, a system whose earlier decay began under Buhari's watch in 1984.

The GEJ administration was responsible for the highest agriculture production output, all those new grain storage facilities, and drastically improving the nations food security. Yet under Buhari, we nation is now talking of an impending FAMINE! In a country with enough arable land?? Fan-fvcking-tastic!

This administration has brought nothing but absolute hardship to Nigerians, no thanks to the gross incompetence displayed from the president to his henchmen, policy flip flops, procastinaton, and outright cluelessness. Yet folks like you quickly gulp up the numerous excuses giving by those airheads in power. Talk about Poor Leadership 101 and stupidity. Or do you folks think the rest of us are fools?? Jeez...

Yes Papa Buhari is working......wrecking the economy.

And pls do tell how GEJ failed in the rail, especially when his administration is responsible for extensively reviving the rail transport sector and building MOST of the current infrastructure.

Great to see that Innoson are now building/assembling the Chinese BAIC Yongshi Warrior vehicle locally.

what happen to practing in a range?

nawa ooo!


Anyways, abeg who kill snake today? we need to celebrate Trumps victory..

A number of countries actually carry out such drills.

malel1:
Are u for real

Yes he is for real. I'm yet to see a western equipment as effective as the Shilka AA system. And equipment like the SU-27 Flanker series have proven to be superior to the US's famed F-15 Eagle (ask the Indians). I say we go for both Russian and Chinese equipment ASAP.

i am defenitely not suprised. The military recorded a turn in its fortunes for the better under the GEJ watch. This was thanks to the following events:

1) The arrival of both T-72M1 and T-72AV series MBTs along the BVP-1 IFVs purchased from the Czech Republic.
2) The arrival of our Russian trained special forces from Russia with better equipment and much needed tactical training.
3) The presence of the famed South African STTeP group within the theatre of operations. This group brought in the much needed in-field tactical training drawn from years of experience from Angola, Namibia, and even Sierre Leone. This group was equally responsible for establishing the highly effective Nigerian Army's 72nd Mobile Strike Force, and taught our troops how to utilize the REVA 2 MRAP effectively.

ALL THESE occurred under the GEJ administration, and led to the recapture of territories previously lost thanks to the Nigerian military's combined arms offensive that saw Boko Haram destroyed as a cohesive fighting force. All these occurred under Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

BUT this administration claimed otherwise, spreading lies and spewing garbage, all soaked in by their supportive zombies who cant think for themselves. Keep in mind that apart from the 12 worn-out MRAPs donated by the USA and the 12 polish Skorpion light utility vehicles bought by the Airforce recently for base protection, this administration is yet to buy JACKSHYTE for the military. EVERY NEW WEAPON, COMMUNICATION GEAR, AND OTHER EQUIPMENT were purchased by GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN.

But slowly the truth comes out.

Why displaying ur ignorance freely to Nairalanders? That's not a portion from the Qur'an, it's actually an Arabic way of saying' Victory is from God alone'
Come to think of this: why is there a cross on red cross logo?
Why is there a cross on Nigerian navy's logo? Are they meant for Christians?

Question: is Nigeria's Lingua Franca Arabic or English? 'cos last i checked, it was English. So why have have Arabic on its logo? that must be changed also.

owotonbinu:
Oyegun just said the bitter truth, politically there are no reasonable options to buhari at the moment. Thus making him the best and only alternative. Forget what people say online. Should buhari decide for a second term, he would win.

The best & only option?? Out of thousands? HELL NO!!

curiousmind11:
Are you for real? Does it occur to you that the teachers or civil servants get peanuts compared to political office holders?

Whenever reasonable people are talking about reducing recurrent expenditure, they are talking about reducing the amount spent on political appointees. Or are you one of them?

Read my post again. I said trimming the workforce is ONE WAY of reducing recurrent expenditure. Of course drastically slashing salaries and allowances of political money bags equally helps and is fully supported on my part. But let's be realistic here. If the civil service was being run like any for-profit organization in the private sector, enlarging the workforce at this particular time of economic hardship is a BIG NO NO. The salary of a single teacher may be small, but the collective sum of 5000 teachers wages per month will put a considerable dent in the govt's pocket. Keep in mind that most state govts are barely able to pay monthly wages and equally have to consider capital projects in order to deliver on their promises to the electorates.

By the way I am neither a politician nor political appointees.

SillyMods:
Which weapons?

Let's see...

Those new Main Battle Tanks (T-72M1, T-72OM)
Those new MRAPs (CS/VP3 Bigfoot, REVA, RG-31 Nyalas, Streit Spartan MK1s & 2s)
Those new attack helicopters (Mi-35M hinds)
Those new Light Scout & Utility Helicopters (Army Corp Gazelles helicopters)
The resuscitated Super Puma fleet
Those new Multiple Rocket Launch Systems (MRLS)
Those spanking new LCAVs
Those new assault rifles (Tavor TAR 21, Tavor MTAR 21, Beryl Assault rifles, FN P90, FN FS2000, IWI Galil ACE, Pechenegs, etc)
Those brand new Marom Doplhine tactical vests
The rescusutated C-130 Hercules fleet
The upgrade of the F-7NI jet fleet to carry PGMs (precision guided munitions)
Those new UCAVs (CH-3As)
Those new ISR aircrafts
Those new light assault vehicles (land cruisers, hilux)
Those new Infantry Fighting Vehicles (BVP-1s)
Those new Police Bell helicopters
That recent police Public Land Mobile Network
Abuja's surveillance network
The nation's first data surveillance system

Yep, those weapons...

As painful as this may be for a number of people, I'm incline to side with the governor. Why add to an over bloated govt workforce? We talk about the govt slashing on recurrent expenditure. Sadly, trimming the workforce is one way of achieving that. Still I feel for those who hoped on these jobs, especially in such a difficult time.

Gayigaskia:
did you bother to read the bellow part from the article?

Sure...cos those are the only 2 Alpha jets in NAF's inventory, abi? Btw, apart from the Alpha Jet, the Mi-35M also flew combat air support sortie along with the Beechceaft Super King that flew both ISR and BDA (battle damage assessment) sorties in support of same mission. Guess who bought both types of aircrafts? That's right: GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN.

progress69:
Do u have comprehension problems? The question was when was the embargo placed. No one said an embargo was not placed.?

I suggest you read your post again. SLOWLY. Maybe then you'll realise that you have an issue far worse than the lack of comprehension skill, especially when you don't understand your own damn post.

Ehen? Go and arrest him na....if youve got the balls.

progress69:
NL where every nobody claim to be somebody on the internet. When did US place the Embargo? Is Isreal and others aren't ready to sell for cogent reasons, is Russia not therr? Are there not other countries that can't be sanctioned by the US. Is there not a black market for arms. Who doesn't know moat of the weapons used by BH when the war started at first were actually ceased from the Nigeiran Army. How do one place awarding the contract of purchasing decommissioned warships to a known criminal for the Nigieiran Navy? Is it news that most the jet and choppers bought by the airforce were either not weaponized or not servicable, then another scam of arming and making them in working conditions was spinned to siphon more money. How do one explain ONSA becoming the ATM machine to political allies? If the money channelled for the war were actually used for what it was meant to be used for, will BH have lingered this long. How much exactly be spent by this government that we can see tremendous progress. Quit being emotional and sentimental, Jonathan and his service cheifs were a big fraud.

The selective amnesia of you pro Buhari & APC supporters is one of a kind. So you've now forgotten that the US placed an embargo on us? Thanks to the USA, we could not buy their surplus ex-USMC Sea Knight Twin rotor helicopters. Thanks to same embargo, we could NOT buy ex Israeli Airforce AH-1 Super Cobras. In response to the embargo, the Nigerian govt cancelled a US led training program for a new Ranger styled Special Forces battalion. THAT was why we opted for better tactical training from the Russians. That was why we brought in the famed South African Defence contractor STTep to set up the far more successful 72 Mobile Strike Battalion. THAT was why we opted to buy weapons from Russia, Belarus, China, the Czech Republic, Isreal, and Pakistan.

And who bought the in new T-72M1 and T-72OV main battle tanks, the new BTR APCs, the new BVP1 IFVs, new Bigfoot MRAPs, those brand new police Streit MK2 Spartans and the RG-42 Nyala MRAPs? How about the light vehicles from Toyota Land cruisers to Hiluxs? Who equipped the security forces to better firearms (Army: Beryl assault rifles, Tavor TAR 21 rifles; Navy: TAR-21 rifle, Beretta CX4 rifles; DSS's Galil Ace Assault rifles, Tabor MTAR 21s, FN FS2000s and P90 SMGs; NIA's FN P90s), brand new made in Nigeria Marom Dolphin tactical vests? Who bought those new CH-3A UCAVs? Who revived our C-130 and Super Puma fleets? Who built the NPF's dedicated Public Land Mobile Network across the nation, or the FCTs surveillance system?

That's right: Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

patriotic9jaboy:
Reno is a fool who likes to talk too much. Why the Efcc and Dss allows him to work free is still a surprise. He is a staunch critic of this government and deserves to be arrested and probed for corruption. I hope he is whisked away to kuje prison soon. Useless parrot

So Mr. Reno should be arrested....for being a staunch critic?? Damn you zombies never cease to amaze me with your stupidity.

falxx:
I have absolute trust for Buhari. He will investigate this one. Amaechi name has surfaced for too many times.

Hahahaha! Buhari investigate what/who? Same hands that fed him? Hehehehe...Bros you can t be this naive.

Useless woman married to a thief. They should have locked you and the baby in separate prison because the boy automatically will become a looter tomorrow like his dad took after his grandfather. Over bleached barbie forming opinion. Spits on her Tura-soap induced skin

Just look at this demented tw.at.

papparatzzi2013:
So, why the unnecessary noise from NJC when law enforcement agencies are simply carrying out their constitutional duties against corrupt judges, in accordance with the law that makes corruption a crime?

What bloody constitutional duties? Same constitution whose laws were violently flouted by the DSS? And who gave the DSS powers to handle corruption cases? Is it the Police or EFCC?

patriotic9jaboy:
Wike is indeed lucky to be alive. Obstructing an order of arrest from the federal government all because he has skeleton in his closet is suicidal. If the Dss operatives had pulled their trigger on him that day, it would be termed as accidental discharge and at worst his deputy would be sworn in as governor if he dies. No sane person will dare the federal might of any country. The police commissioner he took a long with him answers directly to the IG who is an appointee of the federal government. Just like GEJ withdrew Amaechi's security detail, Buhari can order the same for wike and heaven will not fall. Power pass power. When they loot and steal billions they all forget human rights of affected citizens and rules of law. When it's time for prosecution, they will start screaming rule of law and due process and the same nigerians who are shortchanged will be supporting the political thieves.

Sane Nigerians are behind the arrest of judges and other corrupt members of the political class. Some call buhari a dictator but if dictatorship is what is required to sanitize the system you have the support of patriotic Nigerians. Invade the home of looters, break their doors and safes with sledge hammers, brutalize them with your DSS and make them pay for short changing the state. We must sanitize the country for the upcoming generations

Absolute hogwash. No sane Nigerian will support breaking the Law. Last I checked, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was not suspended. No one is against questioning the judges, but the method adopted was absolutely WRONG.

mmsen:
Public health shouldn't be politicized.

Tell that to Okorocha.

@ OP, the FBI is an agency under the US Department of Justice, so yes it falls under their purview.

The DSS is NOT tasked with the responsibility of dealing with erring judges. That's the responsibility of the National Judiciary Council, the Nigerian Police Force, and the EFCC./ICPC.

This comparison BTW the US and Nigeria is basically mute

kropotkin2:
Our president will do no such thing and FFK will vomit those yams he ate

Of course he won't, cos it was stolen funds. Your "Mr Integrity" was long compromised, mate.

ucheokpara100:
Buhari is a saviour to Nigerian.

Yet the nation goes hungry under his watch as its economy nose dives

kropotkin2:
No one takes this worthless wailer serious but his fellow wailers. FFK must still face our EFCC justice and vomit our Dasuki yams.

Tell your president to reveal the source of his campaign funds. FFK has already faced the EFCC and will not back down.

Nnamdikalu:
In this case two things are involved,either Buhari is after those who are truncating his efforts to sanitise the system or Gov Wike is trying effortfully to stop his Nyash from being exposed ,.

What bloody effort to "sanitise"? When the president's cabinet's made up of incompetent buffoons and corrupt crooks?

989900:
Send corrupt judges to jail; else they will ruin this country.

You mean Judges who give verdicts contrary to the wishes of the executive branch? No wahala.

BTW, when will the SFG join them in detention for the missing grass cutting funds?
