Bollinger:


Lol. Seasoned. Are they not the same seasoned military hierarchy you blame for the problems in the army? So, let me get this straight, you don't trust their decisions normally, but you trust this one. Guy, just give up. you have nothing to say.

Ucheosefoh:
When you are looking for miracle here is one imagine been sentence to death and now been recall back to duty

Bollinger:


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.

nationwide1:

You mean indiscipline in any guise should be condoned in the army? Do you know what that means? Do you even know that some of the soldiers dismissed leaked military intelligence information to bokoharam resulting in heavy defeat of Nigeria army?


Now answer this question Mr Emotion: If all the soldiers were to be indisciplined and refused to fight, what would have become of Nigeria today?


As I always say, until emotion / sentiment is eliminated, common logic will remain obliterated.

Bluetooth2:


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.

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?

philips70:


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.

BraniacX:


The Nigerian Military law commands that you uphold your oath and fulfil your sacred duty as a serviceman/woman in the service of your country even (and especially) at the cost of your life "irrespective of the circumstances" and yes it means stopping a tanker with your bare hands if you are commanded to and have to because you signed of the right to choose how you die the minute you enlisted by choice!!! We have a professional, not a conscript army mind you so stop making noise about poorly armed this or that, because as a trained combatant, your best weapons are not your ammunition, they are your wit and resolve, in WWII soviet russia there was a general called Kruschyev who commanded the red army at stalingrad against Hitlers superior forces and prevailed and i believe you are well read enough to know how and why.

Buhari has just politicised the army by reinstating soldiers of convenience and the future will prove me right on this case and you are here applauding ignoring what it portends for the military in the future

Olaolufred:


CAN YOU SEND A COMPLETE DOWNLOAD OF NIGERIAN MILITARY LAW. SO THAT YOU WILL NOT LIMIT ITS INTERPRETATION TO YOU MILITARY SHEIKS?

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?

BraniacX:


I am not a military officer and i don't know if military laws are accessible in the public domain, i only know this for a fact by virtue of association with friends and family retired and in active service and by virtue of the "sacred oath" you take when sworn in as a serviceman/woman. It is not much different from our national pledge in case you were wondering.
And if you transcribe the national pledge which is a lighter, less versed version of the military swearing in oath verbatim for verbatim, you'll understand why insufficient weaponry doesn't constitute an excuse not to fight, only sabotage can constitute an excuse and even that only morally except if not fighting is of strategic advantage in a battle or in the war!

Olaolufred:


YOU GOT IT FROM ANOTHER SHEIK. IT MEANS YOU DID NOT READ THE HOLY BOOK BY YOURSELF.

OK, HEARSAY. OR MY UNCLE TOLD ME.

NA D SAME LEVEL WE DEY.

BraniacX:


True! And i never said my level is higher than your own, but tell me, what does your national pledge say?

bros856:
Listen to yourself, Whoever you are may your children face the same death penalties those soldiers face for asking for their rights. So because of GEJ legacy you call it, they should be executed just like that, sorry GOD is no man.

Olaolufred:


TO FACE BOKO HARAM WITH MY FIST AND WIDE CHEST,

SO HELP ME GOD.

HOPE IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

BraniacX:


Yes!! And your wit which is your greatest weapon

And if you feel that way, you should never have signed up in the first place since you place such a very high value on your life above your duty and mission

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?

Olaolufred:


I SHOULD NOT HAVE SIGNED UP BEING A CITIZEN OF NIGERIA IN THE FIRST PLACE.

nationwide1:

Smart observation.


For political / sentimental reasons, no one seems to know that many of those soldiers leaked military intelligence information to bokoharam resulting in heavy defeat of Nigeria army.

BraniacX:


No on that you don't have a choice and won't be breaking any law if you flee from boko haram except if you are conscripted, [b]but when you join the army (which you have a choice not to), fleeing from boko haram when you are stationed to defend against them WITH A CLUB or attack them WITH MY MOUTH becomes a crime even when you are unarmed except if you do this at the command of a senior officer who will then be the one to answer questions for your retreat and that is military law!!! These men who are being reinstated know this law and they broke it, and now, a politician is rewarding them for it

Olaolufred:


I THINK MY INSERTION INTO YOUR COMMENT WILL EXPRESS YOUR VIEW BETTER.

bashsani:
still the failure did not come them the failure was in poor leadership

Sincere9gerian:

Perhaps those were working for APC. Job well done and it's time to be compensated.

I would have thought that an institution like the military should have rules, laws and code of conduct and people who breech such rules should be sanctioned appropriately by the same institution, irrespective of who is in Aso Rock. But alas that appears not to be the case.

Since they gave lack of equipment as reasons behind their actions, are those equipments now available? Has the APC bought the equipment in 3 months? if not, then on what basis are they returning since the reasons they bolted is still unresolved? And does it now mean that solders are free to bolt when they feel they're not sufficiently equipped? And who determines what is sufficient equipment and what is not? is it left to the solders individual judgement? what about those that sabotaged their fellow colleagues in the war front? was that also due to lack of equipments?

That is Nigeria for you, every new leader tries as much as possible to destroy or undo what his predecessor did. And yet you want to make PROGRESS? By what magic? It's IMPOSSIBLE
