BabyDaddy20:
The only thing i learnt in this world is that you can't please everyone.
With what Barack Obama did for America he still has a lot of haters.

We knew how our military equipments were before Jonathan bought & sufficicated our war equipments.
How many did the last 3 presidents buy ??
Let's wait & see how many Buhari will buy.

Its very disheartening how some people can go to any length to lie and twist whatever they hear from any source.

Not long ago, some group of people claiming that for COAS Alex Badeh said that Nigeria Army lack equipment, when in the real sense he was giving an account of about 30 year of active service in Nigeria Army.

Also this same people twist The former Security Adviser Sambo Dansuki statement that all Equipment contracted out are still to be deleievred.

Well to set the record staright.

Here is the account of Dansuki speech: http://www.ionigeria.com/how-jonathan-acquired-sophisticated-weapons-for-the-military-to-fight-terrorism-dasuki/

Dansuki not only state that because of the exigency of the election (to be peaceful) great number of these equipment are Airlifted into the field of war in the North East while the remaining large quantity are awaiting Shipment.


The result of this Airlifted Equipments and Armoured Tank become the game changer during this war before the General Election, hence the new tune then "NEVER AGAIN" .

Well to give more updates on this attached are the following images and videos.

Well Nigerians, truth can only be twisted, but cannot be denied it will surely prevail.

Have a blessed day.

Truth is bitter,
When the NAF were busy rooting out this bastards, Some people were busy claiming, human right abuse.

engineerboat:
Is that all you can say

bankoleben:
Is that all you can say to what I said?

Nadheer15:
This OP is getting everything wrong, with all this hardwares, why did we lose more than 13,000lives? GEJ only woke up 6weeks to elections and that's when Nigeria acquired all this. Remember boko-are-rams menace started in 2009,even the documentary you presented was in 2015. If them born Vice News well, them for go Bornu State 2012 or 2013.

Buhari and APC were lamenting about GEJ's inability to tackle boko-are-rams until elections, that doesn't make sense. No doubt the Military hardwares were bought, but why 6 weeks to elections?!

engineerboat:
Here we go again. DID GEJ buy the hardwares is the question now

Mynd44:
One answer.....

My data, my device....


Now scream "hypocrisy" like the word is about to be deleted from the dictionary forever

Nadheer15:
Yes he did, but when did he buy them?

engineerboat:
Omo ti o ba ni iya oun ko ni sun..............

When double tongue is the order of the day, facts need to be set right
1. Zero air force to
2. Is this all Nigeria can afford to
3. GEJ did not buy anything to
4. small country can easily acquire this....

BlackBaron:
Only people that don't know jack shite about the army would be mesmerized.

$2 billion was left and this is what you get?! Alpha jets and a bunch of MRAPS, tanks ?

Btw, some of the pics are unrelated to Nigeria.
Also those Ukranian tanks with the blue tarpaulin were never shipped to Nigeria cos they were converted for Ukranian use after their secession shite went down. Ask me if you want the video.

End of the day, this is far from impressive. I'll not deny Jo did a whole lot than the other governments involved but the acquisition was characterised by corrupt overpriced deals, so therefore we got less supplied for more money!

engineerboat:
It tells you that CHANGErians cannot fool every NIGERIANS, Never AGAIN

donvicky2007:
All this artilleries are good but they aren't new to my view cox everyone keep posting the same type of machines of our armed forces. Pls we need modernized weapons as African SuperPower not all this outdated machines used during the second world war.

LordMecuzy:
I saw all of them Bro.... but not sufficient at all...

persius555:
OP, stop trying to defend the last administration . All the administrations before the last have their own share of the blame. The insurgency started heating up in 2012 after the election of GEJ. All through this time, GEJ treated teh boko haram crises like vengeance against his administration by the northern elites. He ignored the army all the while, ignoring to deal with the situation. Throughout this period, the budget spending on defence was over 7 billion dollars in the total 4 seven years excluding security votes dashed out to most nothern PDP governors in the name of fighting boko haram. This amount is 20 times more than that of uganda and chad, ethiopia . While the latter(most of their fighter jets were bought from russia) was acquiring generation fighter jets we were running after second hand value alpha jets. It took the kidnap of the chibok girls and the approaching general election for the administration to wake up to its responsibility. Before then tens of thousands of lives had been lost to GEJs indecisiveness.

its ur pay masters dat v been fooling NIgerians for d past 16 yrs even a fool no PMB is doing his best. mr willing wailers

Henry120:
But, what was NAF like, before Jonathan took over?

-Under Jonathan, Nigeria placed orders for 9 MI-35M and 12 MI-171SH Helicopters.

-Under Jonathan, Nigeria received 2 up-graded MI-35 Helicopters from Ukraine.

-Under Jonathan, Nigeria Placed orders for 12 MI-35 Helicopters from Belarus.

- Under Jonathan Nigeria has received over 14 Light utility Helicopters.

- Under Jonathan Nigeria took delivery of 10 CH-3A drones from China. We are one of the very few countries to use armed Drones anywhere in the world.

- Under Jonathan Nigeria got 5 indigenous drones

- under Jonathan Nigeria got multiple tactical drones.


Under Jonathan, Nigeria has received or placed orders 59 Helicopters.


Again, what was the state of the Air Force before Jonathan?

engineerboat:
Noted, we are not there yet, but it must start somewhere, and that is what that past administration, the current PMB government need to follow-up where his predecessor stopped, not destroying all its effort at equipping the NA, NAF, NAF, NPF, DSS, and others. Thanks you

Have a blessed day.

ayd91:
I find this thread very distasteful and Somewhat annoying... I have only met a handful of people as patriotic as I am let alone more patriotic that I am.
Patriotism however should NEVER blind us to the flaws of our nation lest we fail bitterly.
The acquisition of this birds may be celebrated in some quarters, its all good celebrate but not too long nor loud. Because the truth is we as a nation deserve more... A nation as rich in terms of resources and enemies, and important as Nigeria shouldn't have such a low grade airforce. Armed Super Pumas, Alpha jets, F7s... Good God, they may as well surrender our country in advance to a foreign power.

In the words of a wise man... Oga Beegs. "The time of peace is the best time to prepare for war". And Nigeria is far from ready for a conventional war.

Our biggest flaw is measuring our capabilities with the likes of Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, Mali and Co. I respect these countries but we are simply not in the same security class. Nigeria is a leading African Power House, we should be compared with power houses from other continents.

Our politicians have corrupted and crippled our military with the aid of their cronies.
The sooner we realize that WE HAVEN'T FALLEN, we wouldn't see the reason to rise... After all there is no wisdom in fixing what isn't broken.

All said acquisitions should be problem... Truth is we were reaped off. #Sad reality.

Good Bless Nigeria.
