Are Nigerian Soldiers Ready To Risk Their Lives?

the era of the professional soldier is history, what we have is indiscipline, corrupt and political soldier.

the Nigeria army are responsible for the present state of affair in Nigeria today.

they are responsible for the collapsed economy, terrible infrastructure, armed robbery , prostitution , militia problem in the niger delta and the hatred between the different tribes. Without the army, Nigeria would  be better of.

This situation is very peculiar.

Nigerian soldiers get awards in places they go like in Somalia while the UN soldiers were doing Rules of engagement don't kill a soldier

who has surrendered Naija soldiers were killing everyone. Naija soldiers are very ruthless when it comes to these peacekeeping issues in Africa so they often quell uprising easily.

Naija soldiers sell ammunitions? When Militants have more sophisticated ammunitions.

Militants financial backing is from bunkering so they get the best of armour they just don't have the military training. Moreover this is a guerilla warfare.

Do you guys know how the US army fared against the Viet Minh? So you can call US soldiers cowards too?

I think Military bases should be built in these Creeks So that might deter the militants a little bit. Most of those militants are rogues and not freedom

fighters like they claim.

Thank you my brother. Everywhere Naija soldiers go, they quash uprising in a few weeks. Please let us hail ourselves small because peacekeeping mission is what we are good at.

Yes thats true of Nigerian solders and Nigerians generally, and i think the African Countries we have helped should appreciate it but what I noticed see is that most of this African countries treat Nigerian as lowly as they can think of, even the money spent on this mission should be diverted to other notable issues that is affecting our own country rather than spend it on those that will not appreciate it, I once assisted a Liberian refugee in Nigeria sometimes and I even put him in an hotel to spend three night because i can't keep him in my own house since i did not know him properly on the third night when i went to check on him I was told that his family member was even sleeping there with him and that when he was leaving he gave 100$ to the attendant and told him not to tell me that he has gone to US! although he told me that his mum is in the US and he his expecting some money from her which he will use to purchase his own ticket to US, i did it out of pity, but the way they treat Nigerian in there country is SO bad, look at the way they killed Nigerian solders in Dafor, . So I think the Government of Nigeria should reconsider the huge amount of money and LIVES spent on these peace keeping efforts. 

I don't understand the education part - they don't build schools or what What about the Command Secondary Schools and the Army children schools?

These guys are very disciplined when it comes to neatness of their cantoments but the problem they have is relating with civilians

WHAT RESEARCH DID YOU CONDUCT HERE?

I've walked and worked there for 3 years

I don't know about Army but I lived next to Navy barracks and there was order and discipline there, plus a healthy outdoor lifestyle for the children.

All these talk of technicalities are reasonable.

but you cannot forget that the Niger Delta Crisis is not a War as of yet.

You don't have the Nigerian Military fighting with its entire might.

You have the Militants provoking hostilities, and you have the JTF, SSS etc simply gathering intel and reacting whenever.

Regardless of how much the Militants know the Creek, the Nigeria Military are more than capable of winning against the Niger Delta Militants.


These are only being deployed now, and it is gradually becoming a war. I mean they have attacked Bonga, which has proven that they are capable of shutting down the industry.

We will see in the coming months though.


I place my bets on the Military though.
