ok. i made fp wao been a long time.

Every body involved should be severely dealt with to serve as an example to other officers. Both his boss, the wife and his children he normally escort to clubs should be punished .


This is just the beginning, just watch and see how more personnel come forward to reveal their trauma in the hands of their superior.

I remember during my nysc days while serving in the barracks, every morning you see young soldiers going to sweep their superior's surrounding while their wives and kids are inside doing nothing .

Evil persist when people don't speak up...expect a lot of positive attitudinal changes in the military.mostly I the area of soldiers welfare both at the barracks and war front...I thank all our brave soldiers who defied all military ethics to speak up.GOD bless u all.

Why can't we sit down as a country and discuss terms of co-existing; and if any group feels like pulling out, what's the difficulty in allowing them do?

Nigeria is becoming more of a night mare in recent years.

-Insecurity
-Extra-judicial killings by security personnel s
-Now the poverty capital of the world.
-corruption
-unemployment
-nepotism
-loss of societal values
-absence of patriotism

In this same country nothing wld change

I just hope they don’t end up locking him up but I really feel for Seaman Goshit

Shame he had to vent on social media. If the army had provided the right channels to tackle abuses like this, this embarassment would have been avoided

Which kind name bdix? No b only goshit na gomess

It's not about beginning, it's about concluding the investigation.

I believe that too

The power of media

If.we can also mount cctv in our major cities and roads. Crime will be traced and reduced

If he kept it to himself they wouldn't have done anything. That's just how organisations operate these days, they don't do the right thing unless there will be social media backlash.
