"The military I headed lacked equipment and motivation to fight" - Alex Badeh.

"If I go down memory lane, I think the last time any piece of equipment was bought for the Nigerian army was in 2006 and how many were they? They were few. In fact they were few and if we go way back to 1993, from then on, soldiers were not allowed to even go to range to go and practice. So a soldier that is not practicing how to use his gun, what kind of military are you going to have?" - Alex Badeh

No need wasting ur time on those leeches
The hate they have for ND will surely lead to their downfall

people seem to want to be deliberately mischievous.

between 2010 & 2014, BH was at its peak, where you expecting a cheaper budget?

OK, or are we to infer that because PMB's education budget is less than GEJ's (in % terms) that means PMB wants to 'kill' education in Nigeria?


BH's biggest 'mistake' was occupying territory, this turned the terror war into a conventional war which the NA would ordinarily crush in weeks.

but it became obvious that the NA had become not only unprofessional, but lacked even basic equipment to fight a war.

WHY?

from 1985-2011, the military had been purposely underfunded by various military regimes & then civilian govts to discourage coups & the military became more political & less professional.

when OBJ retired all military politicians in 2000, it was a brilliant move which helped safe guard our democracy, but the price was that it also took out some of our best military tacticians especially those who had seen conflict in Liberia & S'Leone, battle hardened troops.

& OBJ didn't fund the military too in order to keep it 'docile'.

so GEJ had the onerous task of reequipping the military, hence the need for the higher budget.

that does not mean there was no fraud/corruption, there certainly was & the thieves must be brought to book...

but like I always say, let's avoid blanket condemnations or trying to make GEJ look evil so PMB can look better.

at the end of it all, they will both have positives & negatives.

for instance, there used to be a fuel price increase list circulated by PMB fans that showed that fuel was most expensive under GEJ, today, they don't show that list anymore...

or is it the 'food' budget list that GEJ was accused of? today the food budget has become 'inconsequential' just because PMB's bill is far HIGHER than GEJ...

or are we to infer that since this regime's sewage bill looks outrageous, that its full of shit?

let's all be rational & circumspect in our criticism.

What is Afonja in the 1st place? BTW are you serious about all what you wrote...Common, fear God nah. I don't even hate him nor like him, it's just that you guys are bittered anytime the truth is being spoken, you turn it to hating. We all know what and what happened during his tenure and you are here now terming him a saint. Issorite continue, the devil is watching you

All these Cattle Egrets aka Afonjas defending their Cattle Masters

Jonathan has bought enough weapons already.

Even with such obvious facts some gullibly brainless e-rats want me to consider GEJ a human being.
The klept is actually gud at pretending to be a gud person. He can't deceive me one inch.

we did not expect a cheaper budget, we want them to show success recorded with that humongous budget. If you spend that much, there must be something on ground to commensurate your huge spending.

Even under this administration, with the same lean budget , boko haram hit the roof and was at its peak at some points. So what are you saying, trying to justify corruption and incompetence?

My brother; the thing tire me; I av never seen this level of hatred for a man that meant good.
I don't think it's GEJ as a person that's the problem. It's d region he comes from. So it makes me come to the conclusion that Yoruba's are tribalistic. Even wen it is glaring that buhari is bringing hunger, depression and recession; they still blame it all on GEJ. I still can't phantom such hatred for just one man. Obj, ibb and abacha were more corrupt than him; but the way GEJ is bashed on a daily makes me ask d question; who did GEJ really offend and how?

I am very happy a good educated man was the man that came to rule from SS. We av shown we av competent hands in handling the countries business even wen we were giving d opportunity just once. Hence their hatred for him. Cos he in terms of performance; he is the best president that has ever ruled us. The proof is everywhere for every reasonable Nigerian to see.

I AM PROUD OF GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN.

The last time they bought euipments was 2006. The hatred u av for GEJ., I know it can cause memory loss; hence u come and lie to even ur conscience.

U av nt faced the problem u av on ground about the economy, inflation and unemployment. Is GEJ that has gone for almost 2years that u r chasing. U running where no one is chasing u.

I am happy that it's a gifted hand like GEJ that came from SS to rule. Cos he has performed better than any other past presidents and u guys know it; hence anything would for u guys to make him look bad. But u can make him look bad. But his works and performance has already gone b4 u for d whole world to see. So u can't stop his shine. The world wants every bit of his gifted touch.

I AM PROUD OF GEJ..

All these soured unstable jonathAnians u guys re a massive joke. U brought up the name GEJ in the discourse, yet u shamelessly say pple keep bringing up Jonathan.
U re really a joke.

OK. from your analogy, with a budget of over N6t in 2016, why is the Nigerian economy in a mess?

like I always say, blanket condemnation is not the way forward.

& there is no justification whatsoever for corruption & incompetence, attributes that this regime has in spades.

Oil, the mainstay of our economy , sold as low as $30 per barrel and it sold up to $110 under the chief clueless.


And you're asking why our economy is in a mess.

it still baffles me that some people just love to heap all Nigeria's problems on one man while defending the obvious missteps of another.

GEJ's government was corrupt, yes, no question about that. but what about other governments from 1975 to 2007?

in 1978 - 2.8b oil money missing in one single deal, no one is lambasting that regime.

1990-91- $12b oil money missing in a single deal, no one is calling that regime unprintable names.

1993-98 - over $6b stolen by one man, & PMB who served under that man, without supervision, says the man wasn't corrupt... what does that tell you?

1994-98 - over N300b PTF money missing/unaccounted for, expired drugs imported by PTF, all PTF contracts went through PMB's in-law, yet PMB supporters see no wrong.

1999-2007 - various sums totalling over $25b missing, a few days to the end of that government, over N1t was awarded as contracts that never saw the light of day. yet PMB supporters have no qualms with praising that man as a hero & navigator of APC.

June-Dec 2015, $4.5b oil money unaccounted for. yet PMB people are quick to defend PMB but abuse others when they try to rationalise GEJ's alleged missing funds.

same PMB that openly said he had no house in Abuja before election, suddenly owns a mansion worth over N2.8b, but PMB supporters will say it is even too small for an ex-head of state, but will tear GEJ a new asshole for owning a property in his village (leave mama peace, that woman's matter is something else).
