I wonder why Nigerian military is highly politicized. Military is suppose to be on their own without meddling into politics.

Perhaps your uncle is one of the looting soldiers. Hard luck, no free lunch , you have to look for a job now to support him in prison.

Trentonline just reported a similar story but claimed buhari sacked up to 200 mid and senior military officers because they were from the SE and SS and because they supported GEJ during 2015 elections. Who do we believe?

Instead of this rumours and innuendos, why dont they just publish the names of the retired personnel, ....and let the public make their own judgement?


Below is the rubbish that the useless online Trent published, without any supporting FACTS!

There are indications on Friday, June 11, 2016 that about 200 military officers may have been sacked by the federal government through text messages (SMS) over their alleged loyalty to former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 general elections.

They affected officers were said to have been carefully selected for [b]backing Jonathan during the last 2015 general electi[/b]on.

Further checks in the military establishment in Abuja, also hinted that military officers who were believed to be loyal to the former national security adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki were also affected in the mass sacking.

The list showed that they were mainly from the South East, South South and a small percentage of them were from the North Central region of the country.

The development which is already causing some ripples in the military, according to political analysts, could cost the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration public goodwill.

A source said, “It is being seen as an act of ethnic card to checkmate those officers who were seen as posing danger to the Federal Government and it was resolved in the Presidency that they should be weeded out.”

But the concern as some observers also said was the implication of the sack on the psyche of the military institution and the public which was felt capable of truncating the nation’s democracy as the “systematic sacking “ of over 200 top military officers mainly from the southern part of the country was a decision difficult to defend by the federal government.

“The affected officers were sent text messages relieving them of their jobs and they were directed to pick their sack letters at specific locations without any reason given for terminating their appointments,” said a source in the Presidency which pleaded anonymity.

According to the source, the move allegedly masterminded by “some hawks“ in the presidency was aimed at weeding out all officers who were perceived to be loyal to the last regime and deemed to have played one role or the other favourable to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election.

“The game plan is to remove all vestiges of the old regime, particularly those officers considered to be too intelligent and smart to challenge the status quo.

“Buhari is weary of being toppled a second time, given his ugly past experience. But unknown to him, this latest move of indiscriminate sacking of senior and middle level officers has divided the military and created rumblings in some quarters”, the source stated.

See the rubbish?
Why should soldiers even involve themselves in "SUPPORTING ONE PARTY/CANDIDATE" over another, in an ELECTION?

Dont wonder at all!

It really started with Babangida (as in on a large scale, during the era of "settlement"wink ).... but Jonathan Badluck took it to another unheard-of level, when he used Soldiers to openly rig Ekiti Elections and Military Generals were looting money meant to buy weapons, when the country was facing a major insurgency!

Soldiers were even disobeying their Generals, mutiny was done openly and some Commanders were kidnapped by their rank-and-file ?

That was a disgrace to the Nigerian Military, were "discipline" should be top-notch

that is what they know how to do best! brazenly sack people from a particular region and replace them with their people. that is what they have been doing since 1900s, when by any chance they find themselves in govt. very nepotistic lot angry i tell u. there is nothing like equity and impartiality in their dictionary. later they will shout one nigeria and tell you only their people are competent. one good advice to these people and their cohort is that nothing be it kingdoms, crude oil prices, beauty of a woman, the handsomeness of men such as Ali the greatest (whom the world is still mourning) and what have u last forever.
so you had better halt this your demonised deceptive nationality and patriotism that is veiled hidden beneath it all the ills such as oppression and dirty supremacist habits known to man. it has never worked and will only lead to certain tragic path "destruction".

NB: i do not in anyway support the looting of these officers. corruption that these guys orchestrated during their time must be condemned by all.

Reliable sources was any officer that has one billion Naira(#1billion naira) in his account was retired.
Also, there was an issued that some officers were found to be compromised by the former PDP party with lots of money so the army has no choice than to retire them to avoid revolt
None of the officers in the list has less than one billion in his accounts
Their properties may be confiscated if they cannot explained how they owned such money in military career
The list was announced in presence of ARMY COUNCIL MEETING yesterday. Comprehensive list might have been sign yesterday for distribution.
let there be vacancies because am coming in very soon

Buhari has NOT failed after just 1 year compared to a party that FAILED in sixteen years or a President who failed in six. As for coup, who would have planned the coup?. It is only majority of Nigerians that can throw Buhari out and as for now they say they want him.

So you don't support the army looting money during the insurgency, what about those who looted when there was no insurgency when GEJ was not president.
It is wrong to expect thieves to become saint just because there is a crisis.
Looting has been part of the army for a long time,what we are experiencing now is just the consequence.

I dont support looting AT ANY TIME.

Its just like saying Cultism has been part of the University system since the days of Soyinka...

...But can you compare the atrocities of CULTS... TODAY, with that in the days of Soyinka?

And can we because "it has been around since the days of Abraham",... JUST IGNORE IT AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT?

these are the relevant questions.

even if the whole ss/se senior millitary officers are forcefully retired coz of the fear of coup & the support for the agitation course,there is no going back on secession coz we the ss/se no longer interested in this unholy union called Nigeria.
The country called Nigeria expired 2014 & its left for the government to succumb or face a more advance force from what was witnessed during the civil war.
is it by force to be together with ppl tht doesnt share same language,culture,religion & ethnic background with us.
No unholy marriage ever succeed coz the north has ruled Nigeria for over 40 yrs & there is notn tangible to show for their rule but all we've seeen in them are evil payback & their ass lickers just keep mute coz they are scared of Lagos loosing its economic strenght from mass exodus.
