The US has hundreds of military bases spread across the globe so this much is expected...... meanwhile Nigeria is a rich country (Natural resource wise) and poor country (Leadership and Citizens wise)......For Nigeria to grow and earn it's respect a majority of the people will have to think at a higher IQ rate and learn some basic morals like patriotism,honesty, Altruism, being more logical than religious etc but that is still far from happening as it stands.

Their leaders there ensure stability of their dollar cos it's not possible for US defense budget to be 40 trillion dollars as we have 40 trillion naira here, propaganda without looking at the root cause of our calamity leadership here, Country of corruption concern.

Stop comparing America and Nigeria. Even the budget of states like Maryland is bigger than our federal budget. At the end of the day, Nigerian politicians will still loot the money once the fund is released!

Nigeria is fighting internal insecurity, America is fighting global wars on different fronts. The difference is very wide and clear.

Meanwhile, some funny Obidients will be comparing Nigeria with America. America's budget that is fifty times Nigerias budget.

The 1/1000th of China wey he no build for Anambra nah in he wan build as president, and some Village boys believe him. The biggest clown of the century.

Congratulations to you and USA.

USA wey no get money but de eat whatever dem like.
USA wey no get fuel but has the largest oil reserve in the world.

America can give you fowl but will later collect Cow in return.

Get power first and every other thing will be under ur feet.

1. Americans lie about their figures all the time.
2. Most of whatever is budgeted ends up in private pockets.
3. American elites are by far the most corrupt in the world.

Re: US Defence Budget Is 21 Times Larger Than Nigeria’s National Budget by reiddecuti: 11:22am On Mar 03
They are not done looting. When they are done, guess hope will be in sight for Nigeria to begin to enter into the corridor of countries deciding what happens in the world.


Until then, let's keep on enjoying our fantastically corruption with no shame.
Re: US Defence Budget Is 21 Times Larger Than Nigeria’s National Budget by HacheNoire: 11:22am On Mar 03
It is a looting pipeline!

Dont get framed by those figures. Same Pentagon has never passed audit in last 2 decades.

When they tell you how much they purchase screws, bolts and nuts, you will start to know it’s a fraud scheme.

Hyper inflated hardwares.
