consumer mentality, its high time our military engineers start making themselves useful. If they can't build simple mortars that peasants were building in the west since 17 century then what's the use. We spend 10times the price of producing these weapons. Ofcos quota system and fed xter has destroyed dicon.

The ussr spent about 70% of its budget in building massive weaponry, what happened to them?

Let's be sincere gejs govt and gowon gov are the only adminstrations tht upgraded military hardware, infact were all aware of more than three ships, several jets and for the first time our own locally made apcs and drone( the flying face me I face u generator) gulma. Gejs defense budget has been utilised optimally. They truly made the nation ungovernable sha .

Beats my imagination how people reason upside down!
If our military had all the purported weapons as is being trumpeted about, how come the same opposition is complaining the Boko Haram is better equipped than the Nigerian Military?

Boko Haram fights with IEDs, quad barreled Shilkas, Hilux mounted Anti Aircraft guns and AK47s. The APCs they use are our T-55s and others captured in raids.

So where are the ones Buhari and co bought if the above scenario plays true?

excess4luv:
Even people that can't manage one wife/girlfriend still opens up their mouth to call GEJ clueless, everybody is shouting CHANGE without proper analysis of cost implication, when the masses says NO to the imagined change, does it call for bloodbath What are the convictions that Buhari is really the change we need, is arms and ammunition the only thing we need to fight insurgency?? What of intelligence, training and retraining of personnel, what of proper incentives to the men of the military, who caters for the internally displaced people in these areas of insurgency, what of families of the fallen solders,.
I think its time for us to be pressure groups to these politician than mere praise singers. If GEJ underfunded the military, was the bill not passed by our law makers?? Are they all PDP members Are they all southerners Are there no Governors in the north?? Are there no ministers, ambassadors, senators, federal house members, influential people from the north?? What has been there positive contribution to fighting insurgency, must Buhari become the president before he can be the imagined solution?? Please we the youth should have a rethink, political thuggery can never solve our problem in this country.
I rest my case.

What is this illiterate talking about again.



We don't even need ammunition, we take the name of God or whatever beg you to issue out command for these illiterate fools to stop killing innocent life and destruction of already arid dead economy of the North Eastern states so that the fund for ammunition will be channeled to infrastructure and other important needs of Nigerians.
why do u people keep saying illitrate when u cannot even be as educated as this mallam even if given 10 half lives of the one destiny has bestowed on u..the man just replied the clueless one about the propaganda with respect to weapon purchase during his own military regime....cause most people are stupid enough to swallow propaganda hook, line and sinker without appropriate verification

revolt:
what evidence? If buhari really upgraded military hardware as u pointed out, how come when we list our military arsenal aside the upgrades made by GEj its still the MIGs and ships bought by gowon. And perhaps a c130 ibb or obj ( not too sure ) purchased, take it or leave it GEJ has invested heavily on defense. Thanks to military Corruption there's still not enough.

GEJ is not a good leader. He talks before he thinks most of the times.

“When one carefully peruses the capital budgets of the DHQ and Army, most of the capital spending is going towards buildings, some ammunition and vehicle spares.

This year, we are not buying any equipment for the armoured, artillery and other mechanisation needs of the Army – at least not anywhere in the budget".


How can a president who has been facing insurgency problem since 2009/2010 think he can defeat it if modern hardware are not purchased? They chose to spend large chunk of security budget on buildings and military infrastructures where it is easy to be looted than purchasing needed hardware to tackle the insurgency perhaps with the hope that miracle will make it disappear; or just for some other political gains.

The clueless president, without doing any findings, or just to score cheap political points was busy accusing those who ruled before him for the state of our military institution whereas those leaders performed better than him in providing military hardware which are what you need to defend the sovereignty and integrity of a nation.

“Buhari/Idiagbon in 1984 also allocated 38.68 per cent and 61.32 per cent for capital milex and recurrent respectively. They spent approximately 16 months".


It will be an unforgivable mistake for Nigerians if this man called GEJ is not kicked out with the February 14 election.

Ploy:
Cluelessness on display. Who gave Oga Jona the wrong analysis in the first place? Now Abati has landed Oga Jona in yet another bashing.

Oga Jona well before you talk in your community meeting at Otuoke because we are voting out of there next month.

agabusta:
I knew GEJ goofed on that, even without doing my personal research. I know someone will do a valid research to blow away that silly comment he made out of emotion.

Buhari till GEJ begins to think properly before making comments!

KwoiZabo:
Buhari might not have bought ammunition while he was president. We've not gotten a credible source that he did. 34% Milex or whatever might have been embezzled, until Buhari himself refutes that allegation credibly I believe GEJ. If Buhari lies IBB is there, TY Danjuma and others that are still GEJ's friends will react. Today it is video of Buhari in armoured tank garage, tomorrow it's one useless website statistics. Buhari no buy 1 rifle for army.period
