IfyAwazie:
Dey are retired but not tired. Dey may still join politics.

Not 'they may',they definitely will. When actors and actresses are busy joining politics with full force. My dear,these generals have tasted power. Joining politics is not an option,its a sure deal. Just leave them jare let go and add to the headache and mess their veteran generals are creating.

Wasted investment, no inventikn, no construction, absolutely nothing to their name.

Caseless:
This is how our military got weakened over-time. We spend money to build these men, only to have them disposed like chickens.
At this hard times, dont we need to keep our experienced hands, if we really want to win this war?
Our military needs reform.

Stop been a dunce. They said retired not sacked. So where you told that there are no brains there again?

omenka:
Simple retirement yet some mofos commenting up above wanna turn the thread into a north/south, christian/muslim thing!!

You guys are worse than the terrorist our boys are fighting up north. Hatred grows on your head.

u are a full forever, why is there no northern name at all in the list?

patwilly:
Notice that there are few names of Northern origin among the retired Generals. Northerners have traditionally preferred combat/teeth arm roles like the infantry, armour etc over support/non-teeth arm roles like engineering etc. interesting.

Do Northerners take education serious

lonelydora:

If it will be wonderful. They are used to regimented life.

They are big boys already. They may not involve themselves in local politics.

Trust the Nigerian factor. Soon you'll see youths 'begging' them to 'serve' again as politicians.

They will soon buy Apc/Pdp tickets to contest for 2015 senate a reps, retired but not tire.

Do you know ?incase you've forgot your image ,did you know how many innocent Nigerian's you have made to turned against each other ?


your little head has already been clouded with hate practice and publishing ,turning innocent Nigerian's against each other since year 200 B.C .

Do you observe that most of them are Yorubas?

Like say u never know these people? I can remember Obasanjo's name being mentioned during the Owu Obaship tussle

f00lish boy, u ar a ponce! Who told u they all reached d retirement age b4 they were retired?

Abujalandlord:
The next thing for most these generals will be to join the our lucrative politics.......instead, given their wealth of experience, I suggest they should form private security firms to tackle the insurgency problem or guard our pipe lines or national assets,
A win win situation in terms of cost and effectiveness, since our chicken soldiers can't do that

Their corps is not into those sort of things. These ones don't even need to handle conventional weapons. They service the 'teeth' arms of infantry, armoured, artillery and to some extent signals corps with the means to sustain campaigns or operations by providing power, repairing damaged or broken down tanks, self propelled guns and the likes.

Honestly when the President declares a state of emergency on power or wishes to protect the nations pipelines from vandals or wishes to rid the highways of intransigent trucks and truckers or make the railways work despite sabotage, these are the square pegs for the job because they have a certain level of know-how but with much more teeth. That is knowledge the average rampaging paramilitary man does not have and balls of steel to get things done which the average 'bloody civilian' hasn't either.

We have a lot of resources in this country going to waste. The leaking faucet in the desert syndrome and the sheer lack of critical thinking, new ideas is one of our biggest challenges here in Nigeria.

BRG GEN Adesogan from my home town. The town has once call him to help d indigenes of d town into short service recruitment or NDA or soldiers recruitment. He refused. High time he blamed himself for not assisting his people. Welcome back home retired General

Retiring generals, removing experienced generals from the from the front line, aiming to execute mutinous soldiers, refusing to buy gunships for the air-force, ceasing fire when the enemy is on the back-foot - I'm only a laymen, from the layman's perspective, looks like Nigeria is waging war on the military not Bokoharam.

They do. you'd be surprised at the numbers I've met. Unlike we down south, if a northerner goes to school, he really means business.

This country sha with marginalization and tribalism; 7 Yorubas, 8 from East, none from Hausa/North region!

I endorse this post. kudos.

An army with lots of deserters cannot afford to be retiring anybody except they are sick and undeployable. I have my reservations on these retirements. Our army must now be questioned and constantly scrutinized. There performance on Boko Haram has not been stellar.

You are a buffon. Did you see their age or was it quoted in the article or was it written in the link that they were forcefully retired. You are meant to use the basic criterion for retirement since no other factor was stated. I don't blame your reason, I blame the platform that gave opportunities for inconsequential beings like you who is not of age to misbehave

Must you tribalise. You can read the post without looking fishy on inconsequentials

Go back to primary school to learn English, there is no word like tribalise in English, is this how to spell inconsequentials or inconsequential? You cannot pluralize this word. What is tribalism here? We should raise alarm when other regions are not being treated well, it is one Nigeria. The future of generations to come should be paramount in our mind. May be you are from Boko Haram zone.

Nigerdeltaboi:
wait wait , the NASEME i know is in Benue ooo ,abi another one dey for auchi

The one in Makurdi is NASME, NIGERIA ARMY SCHOOL OF MILITARY ENGINEERING.

patwilly:

No you are wrong. they do both in NASME Benue

NASEME in Auchi, NASME in Makurdi, both are different corp in the Army, NASME Specialized in bridging,bomb disposal,while NASEME deals with electricals and Mechanicals.

When you are quick to attack the use of English on a forum like this then you must be an id**t that has a life opportunity of going to school. Do u know under which condition I was typing or the device I was using or if my auto correct made an error. The same mistake your forefathers made Zike, Obafemi and Balewa is what you are promoting. What if there was no Hausa man that has reached the retirement age. I'm sorry for individuals like you with a primitive reasoning. You are even talking about the future when you are encouraging divisiblity where it shouldn't be. Please I beeseach you to go and work on you low self-esteem because that was what made you to quickly leave the subject and focus on English. That's a trait of a failure. Grow up Kid

I think you smoke weed before you come here as you are attacking everybody. If you know me you will be surprise that i am greater than all your family generation. I am an American engineer though from Nigeria. You are a fool not to know that Hausa population is more that South combined in the army. Who tell you that these people were retired because of years they served in the military? do you see it in the write. Stop smoking weed and snuffing cocaine and i don't know the village where you reside; bloody fool as your name indicate. Waiting to pounce on you again if you reply

I disagree with you only on one point. Some civilians have more balls than the so called guys in the military. Our soldiers are only known for intimidating "bloody civilians" . That does not put a general blanket on all of them though. If you read the history of warfare a lot of the guys who changed the tide of war were never men in uniforms. There are recorded history in which civilian organized group won victories where soldiers failed. The uniform does not infuse a man with bravery or balls as you said. It is the desire to die for what you believe in that gives impetus to bravery and balls. You are probably a military man or have a military background or related to one . I know of so many "bloody civilians" with more balls than our soldiers. I come from a military background and interact with military officers . I know what I am saying.
