I thought they said they bought modern weapons earlier?

So what was the $1billion dollars used for?

The magnitude of corruption in this regime has never occurred before in the history of Nigeria... I just can't wait for it to be unveiled...


So sad!

They are reserving for Igbos

I just hope Atiku will probe Buhari when he becomes president.

To buy Modern fighting equipment with the first $1billion or another $1b please kindly let us know

Which one is modern equipment again

They will procure it as usual.

I tot this old man will win the war against insurgency after the detains of Sambo Dasuki? Buhari has been enjoying corruption under the disguise of buying weapon. Just telling us now that you're going to buy good weapons for our soldiers...so what have you been buying with the monies you and the Army have been claiming since.

One fool will come here and be calling this man Mr integrity while soldiers are dying, hunger killing people, people committing suicide because of no job but Buhari and his corrupt people smiling and opening teeth in pictures every blessed day.

WILL KE ? BY THIS TIME.

bid4rich:
So they haven't bought any since the time they said they want to buy? $1billion dollar since last year? Haba! This government wicked no be small. So they allow soldiers to die for nothing before presido start about talking about buying equipment.

The truth is that our president is reactive and not proactive.

We want PROACTIVE President and not a Reactive one.

he isn't proactive nor reactive. he is so passive

Govt will procure modern fighting equipment to end Boko Haram madness – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari and his entourage on Wednesday arrived Maiduguri, the Borno state capital to attend the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Annual Conference.

Although, it was not the first time visit of Mr. President to the State since he assumed office in 2015, but this would be a special one where Buhari and his entourage would pass through the city of Maiduguri with virtually all major streets closed down for motorists amidst tight security.

‪The President is in Borno State to declare the Conference open which was originally slated for Benin, Edo State.‬

The Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima received the President at the Maiduguri International Airport around 11:30am.‬

The President proceeded to the Palace of His Royal Highness, the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai Elkanemi and paid the Monarch a courtesy call, after which, he proceeded to the venue of the Conference at the Command Guest Inn, Baga Road, Maiduguri to flag off the Conference.

While at the Shehu’s palace, HRH, thanked the president for the visit and federal government’s concerted effort in the fight against Boko Haram.

He assured that the traditional institutions would continue to give their maximum support in the fight against terrorism in the country.

In his welcome address, the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan Ali said, the Conference usually brings serving and retired Commanders and other Security agencies to brainstorm on the state ongoing operations against terrorists and other criminals in the country.

He expressed gratitude to President Buhari for giving enormous support to the military forces to confront series of security challenges bedevilling some parts of the country, especially north east and the Lake Chad Region.

The Minister also commended the service chiefs and other stakeholders for their unrelenting efforts in the fight against Boko Haram and other related security challenges confronting the country. He therefore called for a coordinated joint operations amongst the security agencies to ensure total peace in the land.

Dan Ali however prayed God to grant eternal live to the souls of gallant officers and soldiers who paid a supreme price to restore peace in the north east and the country in general.

Governor Shettima in his brief remarks commended all security agencies and members of the Civilian JTF towards degrading remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in the north east.

He said, before the coming of President Buhari, virtually all major roads leading to Maiduguri were deathtrap, as nobody venture to move out of the city by few kilometres away without being confronted or attacked by insurgents, noting that the present administration came as a saving grace to people of the state.

He pledged that his door would continue to remain open for all security agencies so that the support needed to end the lingering crisis of insurgents would be given necessary consideration by his administration.

He cited poverty, illiteracy, and climatic and other changes in the lake Chad region responsible for emergence of Boko Haram, which according to him, if not properly addressed, youths may become easily convinced join Boko Haram and other nefarious activities.

President Buhari who is the Special Guest of Honour while declaring the Conference opened, commend the leadership of Nigerian Army for moving out the Conference earlier slated to hold in Edo to Maiduguri.

He noted that his administration would continue to give its maximum support to the military, adding that one of the cardinal objectives of this government is to ensure adequate security of lives and property of the citizenry.

“This Conference is timely, considering fact that this government is determined to end security challenges in the North East, Niger Delta and farmers/herdsmen clashes in some parts of the country.

” I want to convey our deep condolences to the families of heroic gallant officers and soldiers who paid the supreme price while maintaining law and order in our fatherland.

“As we approach the 2019 general elections, I want to urge members of our security forces to remain non partisans and leavel up to the expectations on the rules of engagements.

” I want to specifically condole with family of late General Idris Alkali and the Nigerian Army for his untimely death in the hands of some evils doers, as government, I want to assure you that we are doing everything possible to bring the perpetrators to book.

“As President and by the powers conferred on me, I assured you that government will procure modern fighting equipment end madness of Boko Haram and other acts if our enemies. I want to also assure you that government is doing everything to increase the welfare of our Nigerian Army”. Buhari stated.

Only your PVC can send this vampire back to Daura in 2019 not all this swearings and death wishes.

another means to siphon our money for election.
I regret being a Nigerian

Another stealing avenue. Evil man

Did I read W-I-L-L ?

When will your govt do that ?

God, please deliver Nigeria from demonic leadership in Jesus name

The same government that promised to crush Boko Haram terrorist group is saying they will procure modern fighting equipment to end the madness after 3 years in power. What it implies is that we are in line to ask some questions;
- which equipment have they been buying for the past 3 years with the huge security budgets
- if not wickedness or profit oriented,why send our soldiers to the war front with obsolete equipment
- could this not be seen as another political promise because the election is also by the corner
- how come a General does not know the best equipment to match the current need of the fight against insurgency,
- what then was procured with the billions of dollar invested in security and many more . . .
As we exhibit a carefree attitude towards the wickedness and greed of our leaders, the result will always remain FAILURE! A constant failure of the government and governance,they are living fine at the detriment of the masses. For how long shall we fold our hands and focus on self fulfillment,its our collective responsibility to rise up to the ills in our society. They are benefiting from the status quo,while you and I keep complaining and lamenting with no proper action. The time is right we do the talk rather than talk the talk. Election is almost here, expect the President to travel to various states more often in view of making more promises just like promising to buy modern equipment to end the BH madness. All of a sudden, after the death of over 100 soldiers,there is now need for modern equipment. May God help those who help themselves because we are the engineers our own problem. Unfortunately, our problem will continue until we stop trading favoritism, party affiliation, ethnicity, religion etc over competency. We have another opportunity come 2019 to elect credible leaders, that is if only we are ready to right the wrongs. #WeCan #MakingTheDifference #YouthEvolution Say No to bad and old leaders, for a better and great Nigeria #WeCan

Bata..Army shouldn't be used as an instrument of looting arson and brigandage.

my bro.. thats exactly what is going on..
as long as they videoed the event..its was all planned. they did that to create room for looting.
its a popular style of the military looting.

create the problem and in between..get what you want along. then solve the problem , and if what you get is not enough, don;t solve the problem 100%, keep room for it to last and use the long duration to keep getting what you want

5 YEARS AND COUNTING - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?
