Based on the population of Nigeria, the size of the Nigerian Army and the ongoing insurgency across the country, that is grossly insufficient by any standard. Nigeria is indeed poor, forget the hype. The dominant source of national income is crude oil, nothing else.


Oil alone cannot sustain this country with a population hovering around 200m. Any idiot can do the simple arithmetic and tell me what every soul is entitled to from the gross earning.

Nigeria's annual budget is still less than 15 trillion, pls what will that amount do for over 200m people? Infact, let's assume 15t is to be shared physically, that is around 75k per head per annum.

US with a population of about 250m has annual budget in the excess of $2 trillion.

No one should quote me because I don't respond to bunkum from illiterates. cheesy


Oga US is 400m, check ur figures!!!

Give them the current military budget of the US army and you will get the same result. We will still be having the same discussion after 1 year.

You don't know what you're saying! U.S population is 328.2 million!
More so, your assessment is grossly not in touch with the reality in Nigeria, considering that there's much corruption in the Nigerian army. Even our soldiers are saying it; government officials are aware as well. So, coming online to defend corruption is unacceptable.

Most of the 1trillion Naira must have been embezzled, mismanaged, and wasted on things that cannot help the Nigerian security agency win the war on terror. In addition, part of the money spent on weapons that are snatched by Boko Haram also make winning the war hard.

If that money has been well used, there'd have been significant improvement. Stop supporting corrupt NA

The only insurgency is Boko Haram.

The Secessionist groups in the country are reactionaries to Boko Haram insurgency and the adoption of sharia criminal justice system by the 12 northern sharia states.


If not for the sabotage of Nigeria armed forces by apologists for a Nigeria to be governed with sharia criminal justice system, Nigeria armed forces even armed with Dane guns would defeat Boko Haram in a day.

Oh wise one.... angry

That is why we repeatedly say that government should choose its battles wisely and in the spirit of democracy stop lighting fires of conflict and insecurity all over the country BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD IT.

A wise man puts aside his feelings when insulted and abused. He sleeps on a mat instead on the bed to avoid a troublesome spouse because he cannot cook for himself. He doesn't go into fights with his neighbors because the house rent is yet complete.

But for every mouse that squeaks in the Nigeria house the government arrives with petrol and matchstick threatening to raise hell and leaving carnage behind when it should be looking the other way or using its legitimate, constitutional power to negotiate peace and progress, diffuse tensions in communities and around different ethnicities, and religious inclinations.

90 percent of the insecurity challenges we face today is caused by the leadership, administrative and political lapses of yesterday. The wholesale destruction of institutions of social justice and equity that the ordinary man should run to for help before his final resort to rebelling against society is all damaged by this government beyond repair.

And as we all know it is far more expensive to repair or replace than to maintain.

Oga. No amount of resources on earth can palliate or subsidise bad governance. If the government cannot get the 'state of the nation right', it can build prisons every square kilometer, mount roadblocks every electric pole, mass an army the size of China's and buy more equipment than the United States has, it will never be able to overcome the fallout of misery and guarantee peace.

There is NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE, period.

Imagine after giving this much,,,60% of these funds are embezzled, the remaining 40% will for the arms and running the organisation. Some of these arms will be snatched by or willingly given to Boko terrorists and IPOB miscreants under the umbrella of ESN..

The finance minister reported that N1.08 trillion was paid to the Army in 28months & they also made “special request to the President” which was approved.

Mee:

More money for the Nigerian army under #Criminal_Buratai, more insecurity. In Mathematics there is what is called "Direct Proportionality" and "Inverse Proportionality". What we have here is "Inverse Proportionality". The more you invest, the less they achieve. That leaking bucket must have a container under it with people's name on it. And the name on one of the containers is "Tukur Buratai".

Massive and unprecedented looting in the Nigerian army under Tukur Buratai and you know what? President Buhari rewarded Tukur Buratai with ambassadorial appointment.
