The most analytical and intelligent post on this thread.


Emotions / sentiments have taken the place of common logic in many Nigerian brains.

Intelligence chief well done.
This Nairaland is surely a comic site. Your common logic told you illegality and common sense cannot exist in a military force. It didn't tell you the morals of soldiers is next in line to training and weapons in winning a war of this nature where you don't even know who your enemy is.
Well done Mr Logic.

"Yujin:
Buhari doing all he can to tarnish GEJ's legacy. If in doubt ask yourself what is buhari's motive for recalling them suddenly?"

Jonathan's regime dismissed them; sentenced some to life imprisonment and others to death just because he refused to empower them to successfully fight the war. If killing thousands of helpless soldiers is what you call a legacy, then you are the most stupiid Nigerian I've ever seen in my life.

If I was having any doubt before based on what Borno state Governor said about how ill-equipped our military was fighting Boko Haram, I am convinced now that our luvly boys in Uniform were set up for death against boko haram when the former chief of defense staff Alex Barde confirmed it.

I wish the guy who posted those painful pictures of soldiers lost to boko harm will repost it and then you see how much it breaks the heart to know they died out of fear of Court-martial. They were betrayed by their own country. Sent to War with less arms than the enemy. They were sent to die.

Type into google. "why is mutiny not good for the military, even if the mutineers have all the justification". Maybe if google explains it you will understand better.

Nobody needs Google to tell what mutiny is. Does the Nigerian military law permits giving combatants toy pistols to fight heavily armoured insurgents and leadership frittering away allowances and military budgets? Pray tell me.

And here ladies and gentlemen is the psychy of the average nigerian. Justify illegality with any excuse;

1. Bribery; "man must wack joo. dem de chop their own for abuja, i go chop my own for here"

2. Jungle justice; "burn the guy. Since police go release am and we no go get justice. Burn the thief"

3. Mutiny;

Jonathan's Abobaku well done. One day he will scream to you people to allow him carry his cross without interference.

Many soldiers who were earlier dismissed from the Nigerian Army for refusing to fight have been recalled and are currently being screened at the Jaji military cantonment in Kaduna State, our correspondent gathered yesterday.
While some soldiers were sentenced to death, others were dismissed by military court martials for their refusal to fight Boko Haram militants. But the soldiers said they were not provided the right combat equipment to fight the terrorists.
Our correspondent gathered in Kaduna that the screening, which is going on at the outskirts of the cantonment, is housing over 3,000 soldiers awaiting determination by a committee from the army headquarters.
“The soldiers are all there in Jaji cantonment awaiting their turns to be screened by the committee and whoever scales through might be recalled.READ MORE http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/news/army-screens-recalls-dismissed-soldiers/107265.html

While I believe that discipline must be enforced in the military at all times, it is also important that fairness must be ensured.

You cannot fight terrorists with bare hands. If their offences are pardonable, let them be recalled.

We need them in the frontline. God bless our military!

That is your problem there. You think Buhari is any better that jonathan. A leader is a reflection of it's citizenry. If the citizens are small minded and dull, guess what? it means the leader will be small minded and dull. Why, because the leader is selected from the citizenry. So, if the majority is dull and small minded, there is a high probability of picking mo.orons to lead you.

philips70:


The danger in self delusion is you actually think you are making sense.
Am 100% sure nobody takes your opinion serious in your household.

BabyDaddy20:
Nigeria.
An oil producing nation that can't buy sophisticated weapons for her military wing.
You expect the soldiers to fight well equipped Boko Haram sects with double barells guns & some Ak47 and shoot while you relax in Aso rock protected by the SSS.
Buhari is a big joke.

You still haven't made any concrete argument so far. All is see is personal attacks and deflections. Signs of a below par individual.

sainty2k3:

I can remember how u strongly argued in support of the death sentence then, so this has always been about GEJ vs Buhari. Smh

philips70:


Your types blinded by hate and sentiments do not deserve any concrete arguments. You expect me to argue with a Nairaland rat about a decision taken by collective ideas from seasoned military hierarchy and an experienced C in C? Hell no!

What we have on Nairaland are just some self deluded arm chair presidents, policy strategists, economic giants etc who cannot even manage common recharge card business successfully.

chi4ik4:
you are so silly, have you ever seen Nigeria Army using double barrel gun before? even police can't use it. pls go & brush your teeth, it's smelling

"Dismissed soldiers" have been offering their services to Boko Haram
