Farnsworth: My guy no need to sugar-coat anything, Jonathan's administration was by far the most corrupt. Those guys went through the highest oil boom and what do we have to show for it?? Please just mention one thing we have to show for it. No infrastructural developments, loans were not cleared, no buoyant reserves, nothing, soldiers being sent to war without weapons. So if they weren't that corrupt, where did all the money go? IBB "legitimized" corruption but he built, there are things today we can point to say this is IBB's work. Two significant ones, the third mainland bridge and development of Abuja. OBJ, say what you will, he cleared our debt. That helped a lot so to be in good standing with creditors for future loans and business. What he did can't be understated. I don't even want to touch on Abacha, I didn't like that guy for nothing. What is GEJ's one lasting legacy we can talk about?? 3 Likes |

International diplomacy is not ABC. Its very difficult because U have to think far and wide. Why does Russia keep supporting Syria in military hardwares? These are questions we shud ask ourselves b4 shouting that we should have bought weapons from Russia, Ukraine etc. These con3s won't just sell weapons to U without diplomatic agreements. And these weapons are not readily available, they have to produce them when the need arises. Also will you by cot America and her allies that sustains your economy. They buy our oil, we buy their weapons and technical expertise. So we should only wish to be privilege to have first hand in4mation b4 we crucify our leaders |

Farnsworth: I'm sorry are we joking here? Cos if it is a joke, it's kinda funny. GEJ can't even take credit for Ebola. If we have to give anyone credit, it's the LASG. LASG are the ones that tracked those affected, they're the ones that created the temporary treatment centers in Yaba. Even the money from the FG came in weeks late. Do you know the damage an infectious disease like Ebola could have done if they had to wait for funds from the FG?? Let's just thank God, that disease landed in a state like Lagos with an effective governor 1 Like |

[quote author=mbulela post=41510817] Silly lie. I dare you to provide a proof of the above. America does not have monopoly of the arms trade. Infact a NO from America is an automatic YES from some legitimate arms What you ask your self before buying arms is what type of ammunitions and the countries that produce the best? Where are you likely to source for it? Do Russia , China or other countries have the exact equipment your soldiers are trained to handle? Russia or China may have the best military warfare but are they better in guerrilla warfare like the US who have over the years been fighting in the middle east. Am not exonerating GEJ in any wrong doing but let us not demonize all his deeds. It does not make us clever, intelligent or saints. |

mrmetoo1: well, LASG it cooperate with FG, but FG took charge all the states in Nigeria had thermometer and trained personnels at entry points not just Lagos, FG released the funds necessary, collaborated with all the international agencies to ensure Nigerian personnels across the country were taking the right procedures to ensure it was curbed. I am not joking. but if you don't like that one, what about resurrecting the dysfunctional trains system? |

Re: US Embargo Forced Jonathan To Buy Arms With Raw Cash –fani-kayode by WaffenSS(m): 12:59pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
MRSALT: This is plain rubbish. Most nations do not buy arms from the US or its NATO allies. Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and so many others buy legitimately from Ukraine, China, Russia etc. The Leahy Act prevents sales by the US alone, not by third parties. GEJ hid under the supposed embargo to embezzle and launder raw cash. |
Re: US Embargo Forced Jonathan To Buy Arms With Raw Cash –fani-kayode by MRSALT: 1:15pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
WaffenSS: You people are so fast to claim MR Knowall. Have you ever asked yourself if those countries you mentioned have the particular arms needed to tackle insurgency and again how do you know that other countries do not buy some of their arms in the blackmarket? You can only say what you know. GEJ took the right decision but Nigeria factor could not allow them to honestly implement them |

Farnsworth: When I said one lasting, I'm not talking about something started or halfway done. The train system as you call it is still very dysfunctional. How many people personally did you know traveled with train in this high travel season? As far as all those trying to prevent the disease from getting in, the fact is it got in. Those that stopped the spread and quickly acted to gather those that might have had contact are the ones I give credit to. |
Re: US Embargo Forced Jonathan To Buy Arms With Raw Cash –fani-kayode by mrmetoo1: 1:24pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
MRSALT: Of course they have the weapons to fight insurgency. It's not like Boko Haram are the most sophisticated militants in the world. They started out as a rag tag army that grew into a monster because of our inability to crush them. Adequately equipping our military from the jump would have caused huge damage to them. They were winning for a while, so funding increased, their hiring power increased, logistics and intelligence improved with time. Morale among the terrorists increased with all the abductions and "tactical retreats". Weapons from any of those countries will have been more than enough to deal with them, it's not like they produce plastic water pistols |

MRSALT: The insurgency began in 2009. What was he doing about weapons all the way until 2015? So if arms are hard to come by, GEJ is justified eating away over $2 billion of arms procurement funds? Please find a better argument. 1 Like |

FFK is a big fool people like him were the reason why Jonathan lost the election. if the US put an embargo on Nigeria. why not go to Russia. Am sure they would be happy to sell. carrying millions of dollars in to south Africa without the knowledge of the SA government is criminal. FFK should keep quite. he is so irrelevant he should get a job. |
