Biodun556:



If you wait till war happens before ordering military equipment, you will not get it because manufacturers only produce one or two prototypes. They only do mass production when there is order. And the production may take six, eight or even ten years to deliver

That's why serious countries buy military equipments during peace time because war can break out any moment. Nigeria never expect Boko haram war.

trutharena:
You can always trust the military to do the needful when they come in.

gfelo:
All those equipment was processed and paid for by Goodluck Jonathan before the coming of Buhari, Buhari only take the glory.

In a statement in Abuja on Monday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said such substandard weapons purchased by Jonathan could not have been responsible for the recent successes of the military in the fight against the terror group.

Biodun556:


Bring your evidence


Jonathan set aside 1.2 billion dollars to buy military equipments.

His government was placed under arm embargo by Obama led US government.

Jonathan diverted the 1.2 billion dollars to fund 2015 election and stole the rest. That was why Dazuki, his National Security adviser was jailed by Buhari despite all court orders that he should be released.

If you have contrary opinion share the evidence or the link

Jonathan only bought 4 war ships for the Navy and may be few guns for the army and those are regular small tools for the military.

Up till now, I still don't understand why Jonathan didn't buy military equipments from another country when US place his government on arm embargo.

Unfortunately, thousands of Nigerian soldiers died. Uncountable numbers of civilians gone. Abuja, Kano were under severe attacks and suicide bombings by Boko haram.

It was Buhari that shifted the battle line from cities to the forest

Akaegwu:
Buhari, Tinubu and APC gang up was the reason USA placed embargo on Jonathan's government. They were shouting that Jonathan was killing innocent northerners. Same people started shouting that's Jonathan government didn't equipped the military. Idiotic fellows

Biodun556:


Where is your evidence?

If US placed arm embargo, another country will sell. But Jonathan could not reason well.

Akaegwu:
On May 16, 2013
Northern elders on Thursday broke their silence on the slamming of state of emergency in three of their states, describing the action of President Goodluck Jonathan as an indirect declaration of war on the Northern part of Nigeria.

The President’s action, which took the northern elders by surprise, is coming barely three weeks after Jonathan accepted a roadmap from the NEF on how to end the Boko Haram insurgency in parts of the north.

The elders had successfully impressed upon the Presidency to raise the Boko Haram committee to dialogue with the sect with a view to restoring elusive peace to the region. Jonathan, who met with the NEF leadership in Abuja in April, subsequently inaugurated the Turaki-led BH committee with a mandate to broker peace with the sect and compensate their victims within a two-month timeframe.

However, shortly after inaugurating the panel, the sect leadership rejected the amnesty offer, saying that it is the government that should seek amnesty for having killed its Muslim brothers across the country.

But a spokesman for the NEF, Prof Ango Abdullahi, who relayed the position of the group on Thursday, told Vanguard that they were disappointed by the sudden change of tactic by Jonathan on how to resolve the crisis in the north.

“It is very sad for us to see that the President has easily changed direction from dialogue and reconciliation to war in his bid to end the cycle of violence in the north,” Abdullahi said.

When there is insecurity there will be no economic activities.

Boko haram would have been a thing of the past if nigerian military especially the airforce had been well equipped

Boko haram war cost Nigeria billions of dollars. It is a big national disaster
