patwilly:
Notice that there are few names of Northern origin among the retired Generals. Northerners have traditionally preferred combat/teeth arm roles like the infantry, armour etc over support/non-teeth arm roles like engineering etc. interesting.

Northerners starting with 2nd generation of officers have always favored the armored corps,infantry,artillery etc over combat support arms like MP,Intelligence and Signals
But combat engineers fall under 'teeth' arms mind you, even signals is termed under 'teeth' arms in most armed forces.

If it will be wonderful. They are used to regimented life.

They are big boys already. They may not involve themselves in local politics.

Say's who? Some soldiers greedy

I think you smoke weed before you come here as you are attacking everybody. If you know me you will be surprise that i am greater than all your family generation. I am an American engineer though from Nigeria. You are a fool not to know that Hausa population is more that South combined in the army. Who tell you that these people were retired because of years they served in the military? do you see it in the write. Stop smoking weed and snuffing cocaine and i don't know the village where you reside; bloody fool as your name indicate. Waiting to pounce on you again if you reply

You are a big id*ot and you obviously feel defeated. People like you are lepers that cannot build but scatter. You still remain a dunce because if not you would have accepted the basic criterion for retirement where none was mentioned rather than fanning a crisis. Moreover just one college was a focus not the entire army. If you are not drunk, and smoked ganja tell me what the college has achieved that repositioned the NA in the world front while they were there. Well am not surprised after all you are an American slave that is a king among your daft generation. My poo.

they are paid like professors and Judges.. Till death, their salary will still be paid NOT PENSION

I hope they have saved enough money from the looties and booties of war. I also hope that they have save enough money to maintain their lavish and expensive life style with their pot belly.
