The army is suppose.to have farms and manufacturing units to make revenue...in Nigeria everyone is just waiting for free money. The army is not at war, they should be using their manpower to create wealth.

Army doesn't need to spend a dime to do any civil responsibility like housing, school, water etc. If they understand how things work, they will consult an independent contractor like me to provide the Housing Units for their Personnel.
That outdated method of the army or government funding such venture has gone with the locomotive train.
All I need is authorization
Army Corp of engineers will do the needful

We have money to renovate aso villa, renovate ICC, build quarters for judges, build houses and give 100kusd each to super falcons(who deserve to be celebrated anyways) BUT we dont have money to provide shelter for the group of people that are protecting us from enemies attacks.
Very funny country

Loool. That is not how defense of nations are being run or defense of anything for that matter. You employ them to defend country today, then when there's no war you tell them to go and generate revenue.
Ideally, When the army is not at the war front, they are still at war. Security is better delivered when you're proactive and preparing for attacks. Building sleeper cells when u r not at war. It is not their job to create wealth or generate revenue, it is their job to defend the country against enemies. It's not all institutions of state that should generate income.

So why then did he promise to recruit 50 million youths into the army?

Just another political talk or just another example of blatant incompetence?

You people should plan yourself very well...we hear the billions allocated to the force in the time past but nothing good came out of it. Get accomodations ready for the gallant boys to ensure they don't suffer in the hand of the nation they come to defend

It is the business of fulanis, mainly the northerners and westerners problem. Nigeria would one day have a reason to allow igbos leave when they have left all the federal civil service for those who own destructive tendencies such as the headline

Another opportunity to steal. The Nigerian armed forces need comprehensive auditing. The generals are stealing more than half of the allocations.
