Intelligent but not wise ..
Tankers drivers will deliberately block road baa??
And you think they are happy blockin the road?
Will directives from the naval whatever solve the problem on ground?

If you don't have an idea of what's on ground ..
Kindly keep mute..

Go and remove the Navy na.. As if there was any part of my comment that justified any action of tanker drivers or government. I only explained that the Navy isn't just an organisation. How does that translate to tanker drivers and what's on ground.

Oya go and remove the Navy since you have the idea. Nonsense

And the directives from navy will solve the problem

Simple question, you are summersaulting and tumbling ..

Do not blame the military for that. Blame the police. If the police are professional, Nigerians would take them serious and the military wouldn't have to be involved.

And Nigeria's military is professional? LMAO!!!

No self-respecting military will allow itself to be used as a police. The respect for the army has been dumped in the toilet in the eyes of the public after Boko haram has reduced them to mutineers and absconders. The military in Nigeria is only gallant in tackling unarmed civilians.

Greene66:


Do you think Soldiers enjoy standing at road checkpoints like police and road safety? You think they enjoy it?

Nigerian soldiers do. You will have to witness firsthand how they lobby to be posted outside thier barracks. Some of them even let out cries of jubilation when they are drafted out. Fuel diversion, intimidation, border smuggling, extortion. These are some of the little pecks they can't ignore when posted.

Greene66:


The rule against the tanker drivers have been on for years but the tanker drivers IGNORED the police. Is it until lives are lost or accidents begin to happen that the military steps in? If the police cannot do their jobs, don't blame the Armed Forces for stepping in.

Tanker drivers ignored the police? So what's the army going to do differently? In all my years as a Nigerian, I have never seen where MOPOL or antiriot police unit are ignored. I think you should be ashamed to be part of a country where soldiers and other military are drafted to the streets for mere domestic shuffle.

Greene66:


Besides the military doesnt go up against cultist or Armed robbers. And even if they do, you should be grateful. Fix your police. It isn't the soldiers fault that the police don't know their jobs.

Operation python dance in the South West was for supposed criminals and cultists elements..

I should be grateful for the military who are experts at abusing and killing innocent civilians without trace? 3rd world victim syndrome is what you have.

And I should fix my police? Surely I don't sound like the government to you. And I honestly don't think you read any other stuff besides Nairaland threads.

They'll quit their nonsense they have vehicle towed then fined and jailed.

1. The Federal Government is responsible for the military in terms of funding and equip. You can't blame the military for Boko Haram. Soldiers weild outdated AK47 rifles, outdated World War 2 T72 tanks. How many tanks by the way? For once look at the other side. How many soldiers wear bullet proof vests? This is the government not the soldiers. Ideally, soldiers should be on reserve during peace time and given civil jobs. But no. They are kept on active duty. Posted to NEPA Office to work as gate men. Working as escorts for diplomats and used to push tanker drivers. Whose fault is this?

2. You cannot tell me what to witness first hand because I AM a member of the Armed Forces. Army precisely. Not that I condone the unprofessional conducts of some elements in the Armed Forces, I am saying that the state of the country is deteriorating in all areas. Military funds are siphoned regularly. Soldiers are unkempt. Soldiers at the war front eat roughly once or twice a day. Would you sit at your house or office and blame them?

3. You talk about MOPOL. Please, the government instructed the IGP to visit benue, he went to Nasarawa instead. the police IGP could do that. Policeman insulted a sitting Governor on TV. My point is, the police aren't working. I have had this argument with my friend who is an ASP. The policemen are not doing their jobs. People don't regard the police. They may not respect the military either. But they definitely fear them.

4. Military court-martial soldiers regularly. You just don't know. Many soldiers are demoted on a regular for Human Rights abuses. Does that mean you blame the whole military for an act a few soldiers performed? You carefully ignored SARS, Customs and others who do worse. Visit the borders and see Customs assault drivers. Visit the cities and see SARS assault young men. You only focused on the military.

I am a Nigerian. I once told my commander off post that I am a Nigerian. I may be a soldier loyal to the president and held by an agreement I signed but it doesn't mean I am not a Nigerian.

I know what the civilians feel because I have families who are civilians. I didn't fall from heaven. I have a family who have their stories at the hands of both military and police. So do we leave the police part and blame only the military? No. What do we do?

We implore the government to reform these institutions. The power is in the hands of the government. Not a few soldiers or Navy guys at Apapa. So for a moment stop talking like the military can wake up and choose what and what not to do. They follow orders. Unlike a police who ignores court orders and president orders to go to benue.

You civilians think you know but you know nothing.

If the question was that simple, what then warranted the unnecessary utterances of yours? About me keeping mute? You could have asked the question in a civil manner. Since you have the idea like I mentioned, go there and perform. At least like you said, I don't have any idea

You civilians think you know but you know nothing.

If the federal government is responsible for funding and equipping the military who is then responsible for the Nigeria police? See how redundant your submissions are.

I hope you're not claiming to be a military person.

I know you from the days when you were a butt-shinner for Strahovski1 an Indian troll and scammer on this thread.

Now you're no longer an Indian but also a soldier. I envy the swift transformation.

No one should take you seriously. You're never clever at what you pretend to be.

1. At no point in time did I declare my nationality to be an Indian. Please provide evidence that I did.

2. I am solely responsible for my posts and who I "butt-shine" has nothing to do with my views or my position in my country. I can even buttshine a Chinese online tomorrow if I deem it fit because I am not racist. It's my freedom and my choice. It has nothing to do with anything. Besides accusing someone for scam is one thing. But I'm not going into that. I have even done a few businesses on nairaland to keep myself moving. At least I never mentioned I was Indian in any of my threads. So if you are looking to start something, create a new thread or campaign. Don't derail this one.

3. I am not claiming anything. I have said what I said, quote me anywhere. I don't deny my statements. That's the difference between me and a lot of people. My account has been since 2015. I could have easily created a new account to claim soldier can't I?

4. I never blamed the police for poor funding. Did I? I said they aren't doing their jobs. I said the government needs to reform these institution(S) that includes military, police, customs and so on. If you didn't read well, read again. I have maintained a civil argument on this thread, if you want to digress, that's your choice. I'm not going to indulge you. If you have a beef with soldiers, sorry. If you have issue with SARS.. sorry, if Navy remove your tanker, sorry. Don't blame me. Don't blame the force. Speak out to your government or get a PVC by 2019. It's that simple.

No one asked you for an essay relating to your life in Nairaland. Your long narrative is your desperation of needing to explain your compromising possition.

You and Strahovski1 carried on and everyone believed you to be Indians. You guys even had Indian DP on your profiles. You never did anything to dispel the notion you aren't Indian except today.

Back to the matter at hand, I find it refreshing you eventually blame the government for army invasion on the pretext of helping the police.

You finally located your brains.

Walk on.

...RIP to Nigeria police. You have been rendered useless and redundant. What concerns navy and military with a civilian enforcement?

MaziOmenuko:
From the perspective of the Navy, the tankers block access roads to the wharfs and this is a huge security breach. Imagine if pirates attack our wharfs and outpower the Naval officers stationed at the wharf, it will take hours to provide backup from other stations since the roads are permanently blocked by queues of lorries and tankers.

But then, its not the drivers fault, there is basically no alternative! Are you asking them to go back to which of their parks? There is virtually no trailer parks close to our wharf which is a big disadvantage. If these guys vex say dem no lift fuel again, economic activities will be crippled in this country and it will affect everyone.



Navy is directly in charge of providing security on the wharfs since they man the water ways.

Off topic. Hello mazi, I'm a chemical engineering student looking for pointers on getting an innovative project topic but also within our technology in Nigeria. Can you recommend any topics or sites? Thanks

There are a lot of articles online on chemical engineering research topics, try to google some. However, at your finals, you must have developed a passion for a specific part of chemical engrn because the course in itself is broad. At finals, I already have passion for Waste Treatment and Management and also Renewable Energy so I did my research work on Renewable Energy and Biofuels.

Don't pick a topic becuase it sounds 'cliche' so you won't get stuck. We lack facilities in this country. Ordinary gas analysis I had to leave my school to tour UNN, UNIBEN and finally got it done in a private company at PHC.

Good luck.
