Immediate past Chief of Defence staff, Alex Badeh is not done
talking about the lack of equipment in the Nigerian army. In an
interview with Channels TV, Alex Badeh said the last time the Nigerian
army received new equipment was in 2006 and that the Nigerian military
flies the oldest fighter jets in the whole world. He's now saying all this after he was removed as Chief of Defence Staff. I see!
Watch the video below from"We found out that we had fifth columnist in the military that were leaking information to terrorist and then we also had challenges of serviceable equipment. If I go down memory lane, I think the last time any piece of equipment was bought for the Nigerian army was in 2006 and how many were they? They were few. In fact they were few and if we go way back to 1993, from then on, soldiers were not allowed to even go to range to go and practice. So a soldier that is not practicing how to use his gun, what kind of military are you going to have? So those were the challenges we had so when we were faced with Boko Haram, it became a very big challenge. We have been trying to increase the military by ourselves. You don't give me budget and say go and build barracks. Barracks is capital intensive. So even if we recruit so many people in the military now, we don't have where to house them. So it is a challenge too that government must face. Government must build barracks for us so that we can recruit more. For a population of over 170 million, what we have in Nigeria can not be adequate enough to protect us So those were the challenges we had. Inadequate equipment, obsolete equipment. In fact we are the ones that are flying the oldest fighter aeroplanes in the whole world. Alpha jets we bought them in 1981. That is the backbone of our operations in the Northeast" he said

So wat ve dey been using?
Dont tell me the 1 billion dollar Jonathan and co approved was not used for the weapon it was meant to!
Thought GEJ commissioned new arms and state of the art weapons?..a typical case of giving a dog a bad name just to hang it
Stop mocking yourself and looking like an hypocrite.
He's nt serious! He shud ensure those solders sentenced to death be freed! Rubbish
Medicine after death! If u kept quite all dz while beta still kip ur mouth shut dia....nonsense
*lib's namesake*
And my question is,why is he speaking out now? Why not then we had power & the presidents ear in his pocket? Why is he hell bent on exposing the decay in the military he was a part of? What has he done to improve the wellbeing of his boys no matter how small? What really happened in Mubi?Until all these questions are answerable by him & all answers are unquestionable,I suggest he enjoys his freedom with minimal noise for as long as it takes
Was he not the same man who told us that everything was fine?
If he was this out spoken or a patriot as claimed he should said all these things when he was still on seat as CDS of nigeria...the same people all of them
Why are you talking now? Idiot!!!
What about the news of exPresdo Jona buying military weapons and so on?
You mean say na lie?

So whatever happened to all the monies FG has been dishing out for security for past couple of years? This man should be arrested and quizzed!

Politics!!
Smh, after eating our money
Hmmm na wa o
Corruption is killing our soldiers more than boko haram.
when some young soldiers complained, the thieves cried out that MUTINY!
Governor of Borno State was damn right, when he said Boko Haram are using better weapon than Nigerian Army.
The man is scared of history, he is scared of how posterity would remember him. I cannot accused him of corruption or wastage because I have no evidence, but I believe his activities as Chief of Defense staff should be thoroughly scrutinized. From his statement, weapons were last purchase in 2006 (Obasanjo era), what happened to the monies released by Jonathan? Also, it is sad to hear a Chief of Defense staff telling the whole country that some people were aiding the terrorist and you were unable to identify who those people were? Little wonder, Boko haram flourished regardless of their number.
Cheap popularity! He didnt lament wen he was in charge..Its now he deem it fit after his incompetence has been expose and hez been removed from office.He now has a voice! Oga,Go home and drink tea and watch tales by moonlight.Mcheew
Dis man is nothing but a national embarrasment, so u did not provide weapons bit u went ahead to sentence service members to death, just bcos dey made same excuse.
Na APC send u
Dis man should rest abeg and stop contradicting himself. Linda take note!

I am terribly angry with this man. When you are afraid of how you would be remembered or you observed that your effort will be a futile end, why not resign. That is a way to express your displeasure and indirectly send signals to the public.
If I am president, I will send you to jail and off with your head - you are a disgrace to the Nigeria Military
If this man talks again, he should be hanged upside down.
He is a joker
And this is someone's father.....SHAME...
Na now he come dey talk! He should have begun talking when he was head. Anyway I agree with u Royal priesthood. Unless you take matters into ur own hands, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
He should have said all this to goodluck,God will punish all of them.
He shuld ave said all dis wen he was in power...it's of no use now Mr alex
What a shameless in grate . So ALL the military equipment Jonathan bought that turned the war against Boko Haram in 6 weeks is nothing ???
Stupid man. Infect men. You and minima. When soldiers where complaining it was as if they didn't want to fight. Soldier go to fight and die because their bullets finish or they run short of one thing or they other. God will judge you. You children children shall be visited. They soldiers that refuse to go fight were dismissed. God punish una
After you removed as chief of air defense staff, your mouth is running. Why not chase all this when you were in power.
Gerrarahere shii mehn
I expect you to know better. Would U speak out if u were in his shoes? He would prolly get killed or sentenced for no reason, if he had spoken out. U were in the country when GEJ was initimidating people who apoke against him. He has no power to improve nothing. If u cant beat them, you join them. That was what he did and everyone of us would do if we were him
Hahahahahahah... He is not a soldier but a politician. When those soldiers cried out that they were been sent on suicide missions, what did he say? If they didn't buy weapons for the military since 2006,what have they been doing with the security budget allocations running into millions?
So he had to wait all this while before he started speaking up...
We are in real trouble.
I'm not sorry to say this, this man needs a death sentence too.
Why his he just talking now? Sycophant
I thought Jonathan was always wanting to buy from China and South Africa! So, he never bought?
He knows very well that the soldiers he approved their death penalty were not equipped
Bt wen Bauchi state gov said dat BH v more sophisticated weapons dan NA, d likes of FFK said d gov ws saying rubbish, now who is saying rubbish?
Just one question Alex Badeh....can you name one major achievement under your tenure? and why didn't you procure the necessary equipments when you were in power? Well the only achievement is that your stomach grew bigger. You should be ASHAMED and stop trying to justify your failure.
confess well oooo...men with no integrity..una go soon hear am... shebi una collect 1billion dollars.
Sore loser. What happened to all the billions allocated to defence and weapons acquisition? Is he telling us that not a single weapon was acquired?
U can see GEJ, was the highest corrupt man wen he was a president, all the billion Dollars lone and billion Naira he budget for security was stolen by GEJ and David Mark. And top PDP criminals members. U all will not go unpunished just like that.
Why are you just talking about these issues now? When u were in power and had the presidency nearest to you,why didn't u reveal all this? Badeh the Blood of all the dead soldiers you sent to the battle field without proper kits and equipments will forever hunt you and your associates.
Every time I hear things from the country, I am so saddened. According to Gen. Badeh, nigeria operates some of the oldest war planes in the world. We have had Obasanjo who was a former military ruler and became president, he didn't have the common sense that the military need new military hardwares to be able to face the challenges of the 21st century. All what our rulers know is to thief. It is too much of the thieving that has led to the insurgency we have today. The problem is that the common man bears all the brunt of all these years of MASSIVE LOOTING. It is a wake up call to buhari to spend money in the right place to hold this country together, otherwise, Boko haram would soon tear it apart. And he should not wait to source for armory just from one country. He should look to the Super powers in the East. As the White man proverbs say, A WORD IS ENOUGH
Sore loser. Did not take his sack well. Thank God PDP lost. Imagine the LOT AND CORRUPTION that would have been perpetuated if they continue to govern. And the so called badeh would be playing to the gallery for another 4 years.
That's one military man turned politician...everybody just keeps passing the buck around..

When someone says so hard to explain things he has not being asked, you start suspecting if he is hiding things or just plain wants to draw attention away from his person.
Peeps, when you are in office, You cannot Speak freely to the press because you are a staff to someone who an fire you and your utterances have to receive 10 layers of approval, literally. The man has found freedom in his aglsada that he lacked in uniform.

I think dis man badeh should b arrested and quizzed. Why is he speaking up now? After soldiers and humble officers have bin court marshalled. He should Pls jst go shut dat gutter he calls mouth and let his conscience continue to punish him for those falsely accused.

Don't mind him.
Why now?
What most Nigerians don't get is that as an employee of the FG, you cannot speak ill of the govt. He wasn't just an employee of the FG, he was a military personnel so by law, he can be charged with treason if he spoke against his commander in chief and his office while still in office. Now that's not saying he's clean by any means, just answering the question "why is he talking now."
Bringing it back to the FG, can GEJ administration (Badeh included) tell us what happened to all the billions approved for arms acquisition? Someone hit done explaining to do!
Where all the security votes enter ? Buhari, you have a lot of work to do.
Is amazing how old men talk from both sides of deir mouth, are you sure he s even a general, becos generals don't talk much, pls u ve been removed kindly keep all u ve to say in ur pocket it would ve been relevant it was said a day before u were removed. Pls.
Mumu @toto finest. Dumb Fuck.
Ms Bislam is right on point no matter how rhetoric the question may sound.
Don't mind the Fat Fuck.
Hang him pls.
Well, if he knew all these facts, why on earth did he agree to be CoS under Joanthan?? BTW, the Nigerian army stopped buying weapons as far back as 1983, during Buhari's tenure as military chief so even Buhari has to share the blame for that also
When do u want him to speak, When Sanusi spoke out the other time what happened. GEJ got him fired or suspended. This is when he can talk. The question we should be asking ourselves is where are all the money that was budgeted for defence, what about the $1billion that GEJ collected. \
GEJ and his wife with all his ministers need to be jailed for LIFE for toiling with our lives.
He can't be serious!! So what happened to the billions of Nairaland spent on security and the extra $1billion loan Jonathan took just to pay for weapons???
Don't mind him, means he was not active when he was Army chief commander, just sitting on the sit and embezzle the money given them to buy weapon. what about the billion naira Jonathan release to them to buy weapon. am very sure is among those who gave boko-harm information about there plan to attack them. When he was on post he could not talk but now he has the confidence to open is stupid mouth to say we bought weapon last in 2006, Oga badeh u better go and zip up your mouth.
Exactly! Why didn't he speak up when GEJ was still president. This kind of people were the ones that destroyed this country under GEJ administration. They lied and made the former president think things were being done, when in actual fact they weren't. www.bunmisimplesblog.com
I can never believe our leaders,they are all chronic liars,no wonder Boko Haram is winning the war.I pity those that are dead and are still dying,Naija is a joke of a country and until we stop praying and rise to fix this nation,nothing will change,liars in the authorities
This Man's statement is very annoying. Why should there not be mutiny among the soldiers if you ask them to use 2006 weapons to fight BH.
That time you said President Buhari no get certificate because of Jonathan, instead of you to face the real problem of Nigeria. Just go your village go site down oooooo
Wat a country
Really?
i weep 4 dis nation,and dos innocent soldiers cried day n nyt of innadequate weapons....God go judge sha!!
@joblesshousewife you funny ooo you talk say make rihanna run say timaya go tear her pant lol nawa you no serious
hahahahahahahahahahah 9ja home of comedy...Y didn't u complain of it during ur reign as COAS????Go find sumwhere siddown joor
I think the man has expression issues. He must be implying that 2006 was the last time equipments were bought before they began to buy again during his regime as CDS.
Read down, he added that: "We have been trying to increase the military by ourselves"

He doesn't capture the full details of things in his sentenses.
Anybody that believes this is senseless. We saw the new equipment with our 2 eyes. How can Nigerians forget so quickly?
I have never seen this man as an intelligent human being. What is he trying to say ? This man all through his tenure from interviews be granted was never able to express himself .Now that he is out, someone is definately misguiding him in his utterances. I advice him to shut up .
