A mere 5 billion dollars to secure 200 million people New York city security budget is 15 billion dollars for 9 million people I laugh when some fools compare Nigeria to the whole US. Opposition politics should not make anyone become mad. 36 Likes 5 Shares |

How much are Boko Haram and other terrorists spending or budgeting on their own arms and logistics that's making them far better than our entire military?!! ...Cos, this is not adding up at all! I'm still wondering what Navy and Airforce do with their own budgetary allocations, cos they practically do next to nothing in this fight against insurgency. 28 Likes |

DrMB:This is just crazy, A ₦3.1 trillion defence budget looks big on paper, but it collapses under scrutiny: the Army alone takes nearly half with no measurable improvement in security, the Navy and Airforce remain under-equipped for the scale of modern threats, research receives a token ₦10 billion that cannot drive innovation, and none of it addresses transparency, procurement waste, or troop welfare—meaning Nigeria is still spending massively but investing poorly, and insecurity will outgrow any budget that isn’t tied to accountability, technology, and real strategic reform. This is just at this point, very concerning. If we are dealing with terrorism which has been recorded under a year period to receive over 2.2 trillion in ransom. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Sirjamo:The Holy Book says: "He that is faithful in little shall be entrusted with far greater things" If you can't do anything meaningful with 2 jet planes, can't even clear out terrorists within Borno alone, what is the guarantee that you will do more with the same number of jets in Russia or America?!! If you can't properly account for 5 Billion Dollars (which you called "mere" ), how can you account for twice or thrice that amount?!!

amazingspiderma:The amount is stingy. A country like Nigeria at war needs at least 3% of its GDP spent on the military. The alternative may be for the country to try an extremely economic snd efficient.way to achieve results. Give the military targets, and cash rewards for achieving those targets 1billion for every bandit camp they obliterate for instance. It should be given to the soldiers that carry out the operation. 500k each for the privates. It could be N5m for the generals. I am just dropping ideas. States could also get involved, provide some form of incentives. For the Northeast where they are fighting religious islamists, extremely radical incentives can also be used. Dealing with that crowd is hard. These are guys driven by idealogy. Worse, there are plenty of them. An army high up said up to 120,000 terrorists have been captured since the start of the war. The numbers are insane. All these are ideas. They will definitely need finetuning. 1 Like 1 Share |
