What account is more than GMB stopped Maitatsine in less than a year, while GEJ cannot stop Boko Haram after 5 years?

GEJ produce results first. We will probe you later.

Ayed44:
did Buhari buy the weapons used by his army or did he inherit them from his predecessors? Why didn't he equally arm the army for the benefit of his successors?

angelo82:
If all these Arms were well maintained,is enough to win the Bokoharam battle.....So whats actually going on?

kenrish2:

Ayed44:

Accuses former head of state of not arming the military
GEJ Missiles
Buhari built prisons, Jonathan built schools
Buhari appointed no woman in his cabinet

In what appears like a frontal attack meant to puncture the accusations of weakness and cluelessness leveled against his administration, President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday at the commencement of the presidential campaign in Lagos, challenged his principal opponent, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major General Muhammadu Buahri (rtd) to explain to Nigerians how he spent his Defence budget while he served as the nation’s Head of State.

President Jonathan who was addressing a crowd of party supporters at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos noted that the fight against terrorism is dragging on because of lack of equipment owing to the fact that previous governments including that of Gen Buhari failed to equip the Nigerian soldiers.

“He did not buy a single rifle”, he announced, referring to Gen Buhari while he served as a military Head State, lamenting that Nigeria “had great soldiers but who had no arms”.

Chiding Buhari who said he will fight insecurity, Jonathan said: “Ask him, when he was the head of government, did he buy one rifle for the Nigerian military? They refused to equip the military. Ask them what they did with their defence budget that they did not equip the military.

“No country equips its armed forces overnight, because what they use are quite expensive. Armed forces are built over the years, because even if you spend ten billion dollars today, you cannot equip the air force, navy and army. The capacity is built over a period of time. They refused to build the capacity, they instigated crisis and now they are telling us that they will fight insecurity. Ask them how and they will answer.”

He further accused the former Head of State of paying no attention to women while he was the Head of State. According to President Jonathan, Buhari did not appoint a “single woman” in his cabinet, adding that a vote for Buhari will send women back to the kitchen where they will stay and die.

DesChyko:
1. Who are the Maitatsine?

2. How did they originate?

3. What is their modus operandi?

4. A breakdown of how Buhari stopped it if you may.

The latter is the most important. So far, nobody has convincingly supplied that answer.

Save Goodluck Jonathan from his Lies!

Evidence that President Jonathan Lied About Arms Purchase During Buhari’s Regime as Head of State Surfaces Online
NEWS Jan 9, 2015.

President Goodluck Jonathan at the flag-off of his re-election rally in Lagos on Thursday, alleged that not a single rifle was purchased in the last 30 years by the Nigerian government.
Apparently referring to the regime of his opponent and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammdau Buhari, the President challeged him to account for the defence budget during his tenure.

However, document from the Stockholm International Peace Institute indicates that Nigeria took delivery of different sort of military hardware within the period the president made reference to. 

Also, another source, photius.com said “During 1983-87, Nigeria imported military materials valued at US$1.5 billion from about ten major suppliers–more than any other African state.”

To further expose the president, the document obtained from the website of the institute shows that the country purchased more arms and ammunition in the regime of General Muhammadu Buhari than all the other governments put together.

Summary According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute revealed that Nigeria Acquired this between 1983-1985

544 Aircrafts
160 Air defense systems
122 Armored vehicles
62 Artillery
52 Missiles
12 Sensors

A total of over 989 heavy military equipment was procured within two and half years during Buhari’s regime.

Goodluck is desperate for power and thinks he could deceive Nigerians with cheap lies.
