If anyone reads your comments, it looks as if they shot on their superior. So be careful not to create misinformation.

They refused to fight, they fired their weapons and caused unrest among the units, I suggest you do more research on this case because there's a lot more to it.

Too bad.The military profession is not meant for everyone,you either fall in line or you fall out.A very high sense of discipline and obedience is required to be a successful military officer.It is not for the faint hearted.

born2fuckpussy:
Never join the military because you need Job , or you wanted to get regular payment into account montly as government worker while sitting in the barrack harassing citizen or because you want to be respected as uniform men in the society, if you know you don't have the heart for war,better stay as civilians or else this is what you will get.

If war rise above the military, the civilans will force themselves out to fight. This is the what gave birth to Civilian joint tast force, if it got worst, the entire Nigerians will surely rise to fight or bow to BH... when you are joining the military and receiving constant payments , remember one day, you could be called into War

thegoodjoehunt3:
These Soldiers were ready to fight. They did not want to go to fight without enough ammunition.

thegoodjoehunt3:
I did not follow the case, no place in the article said they fired shots. Can you post an article that said these 54 soldiers fired shots?

abbey621:


Cannot do that but Google is your best friend, my assertions are based on 2 family members in the Nigerian military and my close friends. This is not the first time mutiny occurred in the military and not the first time such a sentence has been passed down, civilians should stay out of military affairs!

fresh air indeed
every sector going mad

There is no report like that until you prove so. The article made it clear that they are sentenced for refusing an order. In the article, it clearly states the first batch of twelve were accused of shooting at their superior. If there was a shooting case here, it would have been stated.

If you can not prove it, stop making accusations.

Stop spewing rubbish, you know nothing about the military. These men are entrusted with guns and not only protect themselves from the line of fire but also protect their fellow men. If there's no order, no discipline then how can they conquer the enemy. Shooting at your fellow army men is a treasonable offence let alone shooting at your commanding officer. The laws in the military differs from the civilian world, treason, mutiny and vices similar can never be tolerated. While I disagree with the death penalty, the law is the law and they must face the consequences of their actions!

thegoodjoehunt3:

It beats me how insubordination (refusing a lawful order) is converted to mutiny and a guilty verdict was passed. It is clear someone above want these young soldiers killed.

(It seems refusing an order in the military equates to mutiny. These guys should be spared. How can they be sent to fight without enough ammunition. That was already a death sentence.)

Start with the corruption of military officers. Stealing public funds especially military funds is what treason and mutiny is. How can you give AK 47 with 3 mags i.e 90 bullets to go and fight an insurgency that has more weapons than the army of the Gambia?

I would die for a just cause but not for a stupid cause. These are some of the reasons people will leave the army and support the insurgency even if they don't agree with their ideology. It's terrible to see corruption eating at the core of the Nigerian army where the army can't even provide decent weapons for it's soldiers.

Who pays the military? Is it not your taxes? Who writes their budgets? Dude - try and be objective

abbey621:


If you want to fight corruption then do it by tackling the lawmakers and the executive level of government. You don't tackle corruption by disobeying a direct order, that disobedience is not only a treasonable offence, it also jeopardizes the entire mission, the enemy could have used that opportunity to infiltrate their base and kill them all. Joining the military is a choice, they all knew the rules and swore an oath, it's not like an office job where you can just quit whenever you feel like it.

slyfox5555:


Dude - every military man take an oath before joining the army. It's not under all circumstances that you obey and carry out the orders of your superiors. For example - if your superior tell you to go to a village and kill everyone there i.e. kids, innocent women, unarmed men etc - you can decide not to obey that order.

If your officer tells you to go and fight without the proper tools, you can decide not to go and fight. There are military rules of engagement in war.

abbey621:


I am being objective, imagine if you were among the soldiers in the middle of a war and 80% of your fellow brothers refused to fight, leaving you vulnerable and susceptible to an invasion by the enemy, would you feel safe?? The military does not operate under the same rules as the civilian world, why can't you guys comprehend this simple fact

abbey621:



Oh men, can you hear yourself? I'm just laughing cos it's obvious you know nothing about the military world. If you are given a direct order to kill your father, if you disobey you would immediately be arrested and scheduled for a trial. I suggest you stop looking at things from a civilian point of view and do your research on military laws.

slyfox5555:


Dude - I will not go into a battle without enough ammo and no one should either. They didn't run away; they refused to take an order because they considered it unlawful

abbey621:


Dude do your research on military laws, you are just making me laugh!
