CNN just aired an interview of two Nigerian soldiers posted to Maiduguri. The first one (his back to the camera) said they use their own personal funds to buy their own military kit which includes their uniforms, boots etc. The second one (his face darkened so as not to reveal his identity) brought out a medical bill, and claims they personally cover their own medical bills. And he went on to say many of his colleagues run away from Boko Haram attacks because they are better armed and equipped.

Arrhhhhhh! Nigeria, ayaf tayad for u..

Those soldiers saying this are fools if at all this news is true.

bro. The truth will shock you.

Many of us just cannot stomach the truth. Even when it stares us in the face, we turn to self-delusion. The simple reasons why it has almost been impossible for our soldiers to overrun Boko Haram in the North are corruption and deceit. The annual Defence budget for the last 3 years have consistently been over 1 Trillion Naira each year, and our we cannot better equip and arm our soldiers.
For those saying this news is false or those accusing those soldiers of foul play, do you know how many soldiers have been charged with mutiny simply because they complained or fled when they saw the enemies having better equpments? Do you even know how many soldiers have lost their lives because the enemy knew their battle plan ahead and simply ambushed them?
This current corrupt government has benefitted tremendously from the insecurity situation. There is likely NOT going to be elections in those 3 North Eastern states (supposedly states likely to vote Buhari) because of the insurgency. The money meant for security keeps ending up in the pockets of corrupt PDP officials.
Buhari may not make Nigeria perfect, but from his antecedents, i'm sure he will lead better than Jonathan.
It IS time for change.

I watched the interview too! Its very unfortunate that corruption has eaten deep to every sector of the county that even the military is not an exception
