This is how Naija treats it soldiers, yet these same soldiers would carry out all manner of atrocities in the name of serving Naija. |

Is this how we treat our service men and women in Nigeria? It is things like this that leads to the interruption of democracy (most especially this fragile one Nigeria has) |

Mutiny is a serious offence in the army. Soldiers dont have the same previledges as we civilians do and they all know that. Their Laws are different from ours and they all knew that before they protested. I feel sory for her and hope she wins her appeal. |

Mutiny is a serious offence in the armyYou know as well as I do that "mutiny" in Nigeria can simply mean "being stubborn". Soldiers dont have the same previledges as we civilians do and they all know that.On the battlefield, they don't, but when they return home they should be treated as civilians in my opinion. |

If the protest is justified. they should have the right to protest. And the military is wrong that those who protested in Akure got life jail It is wrong. Their protest was justified. What is democracy if they can not protest. which one do you prefer from the military, protest or coup?? they better encourage them to protest O, if not they would plan military coup. |
Re: Life Sentence For Protesting Soldiers: 'Cheating In Army Ruined My Career' by MUZBO(m): 6:38pm On Jun 20, 2009 |
I feel sorry for these soldiers. Mutiny is a serious offence and the Military. The only way they'd get a better sentence is if another military court says it won't call it mutiny, but I doubt if they'd be allowed to remain in the Military afterwards. Nigeria please treat them well o, they put their lives on the line for You. |

Re: Life Sentence For Protesting Soldiers: 'Cheating In Army Ruined My Career' by lojik(m): 8:56pm On Jun 20, 2009 |
A soldier is under the military law not civilian law. It is mutiny for a soldier to actually protest. I feel for them and pray that something be done on their case but if u understand the military well, a soldier's protest is actually a serious issue. God help them. |

Where are those apologists of the failed Nigerian government? Nigeria has the most useless government in the world! |
Re: Life Sentence For Protesting Soldiers: 'Cheating In Army Ruined My Career' by RichyBlacK(m): 9:17pm On Jun 20, 2009 |
There is absolutely nothing good to be said about the Nigerian Army. It's an eye-sore, a gang of thieves, murderers and rapists! Justice does not exist in an institution that will jail those it has cheated! Shame on the Nigerian Army! Uselessness! |
Re: Life Sentence For Protesting Soldiers: 'Cheating In Army Ruined My Career' by deor03(m): 9:38pm On Jun 20, 2009 |
Protest is NOT allowed in the MILITARY.. That's what they signed for. If these same sets of jailed guys were deployed to quell a a PROTEST, they will NOT hesitate to fire live ammunitions |

I know much abt the army, having gone to a military primary and secondary school. It is the most corrupt institution in Nigeria. This is always the story of 'other rank' soldiers. The officers think they qualify to take all their entitlement simply becos they went to NDA. There's too much embezzlement going on there. But nobody dares raise an eyebrow, maybe becos we're too grateful they handed over power in the first place. Besides their expenditure is 'classified'. Most 'other rank' soldiers join the army becos of poverty. I feel for them. During my youth service in NDA, I made up my mind that I will eventually set up a fund to support them. So help me God. |
Re: Life Sentence For Protesting Soldiers: 'Cheating In Army Ruined My Career' by agabaI23(m): 10:50pm On Jun 20, 2009 |
MUZBO: Mutiny is a serious offence in the army and embezzlement and deprivation commendable? Were they asking for pay increase? NO, they simply asked for their entitlements. Mutiny ko mutiny ni. Where are those that diverted their entitlement? |
Re: Life Sentence For Protesting Soldiers: 'Cheating In Army Ruined My Career' by kay9(m): 11:52pm On Jun 20, 2009 |
@agaba: Actually, you are NOT allowed to protest in the army. In fact, by signing on, you inadvertently and voluntarily give up your right to protest against the Force. Any act that goes against the direct orders or instructions from your superiors is viewed as insubordination - in other words, mutiny. To you and I (i.e. civilians), embezzlement is a much more serious offence, but not to the military. In the Force, ORDER is paramount, and ANY mutinous activity is a cardinal sin. Really, if this were still the military regime, Esther and her comrades would most certainly be facing execution by Firing Squad. It is understandable that most folks can't understand or accept this (just like most Protestant pastors can't understand why catholic priests cannot be allowed to marry), but like a Jim Carey says, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I really feel for Esther and her fellow protesters, because the honest truth is that they were - and are still being cheated out of their rights by their superiors. But that's the military for you, and believe it or not, NO soldier (not even this Esther) will give up his/her uniform for justice in a civilian court. Military courts are nothing like civilian courts; I doubt Esther that will win her appeal, what with our corrupt Nigerian system in the mix. But I really wish and pray that she will - maybe by some God-sent miracle. Nigerian soldiers deserve better than this. |

The military set up is different from civilian set up all over the world. It is total loyalty but it is sad that the system did that to the guys. Protest is not allowed and everything is done to discourage it including making scapegoats pay dearly. Way out is that if you are not cut out for it, leave, they will not allow you to break the ranks under any guise, simple. If you are fortunate to rise to the top you could decide to do the right thing until then obey the last command. |

You don't expect anything better from Nigeria and her institutions.Corruption has hit its highest peak ever,nothing seems to be working,absolutely nothing.How do you want justice for the Military when the larger civilian population are thouroughly deprived of basic things essential for living.That Nigeria is a failed state is to state the obvious.Re-branding and re-packaging this country to me,is another way of wasting or precious imagination. What really is wrong with this country, ?God will purnish all our oppresors one day, |
