He has a case. He must convey the impression that he belongs to the armed forces to be guilty of violation of this law. If he just wear it as a fashion piece, he is not guilty. Do youknow that Nigerian Army wears dark plain green uniform too? Does that make any green cloth illegal?

wordsbase: You are a "bloody civilian". On what basis did you think you could publicly put on camouflage... The law has always existed.. And it is not a violation of you human rights.

austinoeze: u ma sef... y u no wear police uniform?

agohmamuda: A civilian putting on a camouflage is called " abuse of uniform". The law has been in existence for so long and as at last month the chief of Army staff warned against civilians, be it celebrities or who ever no to wear camouflage. Not to be worn for parties, performances, leisure or what so ever reason. There has to be discipline and a clear differentiation between civilians and military. God bless me and the Nigerian Army.

I guess Nigeria is just sinking to a "new low", everyday!

Why is it that most posters using the word "Army", along with the word "Camouflage" (as in "Army Camouflage"?
To me, it seems there is a general assumption that the "Camouflage" (anything that is used for "deception" or 'stealth' ), BELONGS TO THE ARMY!

It is only in Nigeria that the ARMY is DEFINED by "DESIGN OF A CLOTH" (which is what 'Camouflage cloth' is).

Not wearing a Camouflage does not make you less of an Army, .........so wearing it ONLY, should not make you one or more of one.
When "humans" lack substance, they begin to dwell on the inane"!

I guess our Military have nothing else to "show-off" anymore, except "Camouflage Cloth"!
You should recognize a "bloody Civilian" when you see one, even if he is dressed from head to toe in Military attire same as you should recognize a "Proper Military Machine", when you see one, even if he is just wearing a White T-Shirt and Black Sports pants!
Its all about the "training, Discipline and mentality"[/


But if our own Nigerian Army has become so debased that that all they have left to 'PROTECT AND PORTRAY' is Camouflage Cloth", then something is wrong with them.
IGNORANCE, ABUSE OF POWER, OPPRESSION, INFERIORITY COMPLEX AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM IS WHAT IS WORRYING ANY SOLDIER THAT GOES ABOUT HARASSING ANYONE WEARING A CAMOUFLAGE CLOTH.

[b]Ask yourself: Why is it that the "real professional and war-fighting Armies" of the U.S.A and Europe/U.K dont harass their citizens and the general public for wearing Camouflage Cloth?
Because they do not suffer from that inferiority complex that our own Nigerian Army (and generally despotic African Armies) suffer from.

...And to think that their "public love and worship" them like a God?

I wear it, my kids have it as shoes, under-pants, T-shirts, e.t.c, my wife wears it and we move around in it without trying to "look like or imitate' any military personnel.

l am waiting for the day when one "Overzealous Soldier" would try me.......
Jobless Morons.
Soldiers all over the world are the "bed-rock of development and research" in their respective countries, the only thing ours are noted for is "lazy talk, pepper soup and beer ... and harassment of sheepish and docile civilians"!

Tell me one single invention pioneered by Nigerian Military? Tell me one Single Project they have undertaken from start to finish, ...even if it is a "small bridge"?
It is only peeps with "insecurity issues" that project aggression and turn to BULLIES on "weaker people"!
That is how those Army boys come across, to me.

By the way, the section of the constitution that was "quoted" refers to 'Military Uniform" and never said "Camouflage Cloth".

So, how do you "interpret" a camouflage Cloth to mean military Uniform?

Freiburger:
I think the law has been there for long.

Fadelex: there was a thread like this last year and a guy was claiming human right. the camouflage is their uniform, plz steer clear of it. so many people are using camouflage to harass fellow civilians while some are using it to perpetrate evil.
you'll be severely dealt with if they catch u wit it. no law permits u to put on military uniform. it is called impersonation. trying to be who you aren't

if you have criminal code acts, it's clearly stipulated in chapter 110 and it's punishable by law. section 111 even bar sellers from selling uniform to unauthorized person

wheesin: It is a clear violation of my rights.. I have d rights to put on any cloth i buy... So fvck off

wheesin: I was just passing by this afternoon... Unfortunately i was putting on a camouflage... Suddenly i was approached by a soldier holding a golf club... He pointed it at me and was shouting at me... I really didn't understand what he meant.. He chased me with the golf club and told me to pull off the shorts... I was really embarrassed because it was in a very condensed area.... I was putting on boxers underneath. I had to pull it off and i was queried on why i wore it.. Then i was told to go home with my boxers on... I found this very disgraceful..


Now i want to know why these is happening because this is very inhuman and a clear human rights violation

I'm pretty sure the force men whom you call illiterate would know that your use of "there" should actually be "their".

Your understanding of the concept of human rights is very limited, and I don't intend to school you on that on this platform. If you please, keep wearing the uniform, the full regalia, maybe you could even try the officer ceremonial, I'm sure it'll look good on you. And when a force man confronts you, tell him it's your human right to dress like a military man, because it is your right to be indentified with that uniform in whatever place and whatever time you choose.

shevon: You wouldn't expect any less from them (especially the illitrate recruits)
I recently returned from Europe where I bought and wore camo shirts and dog tag (obviously not military issue) without anybody asking questions or harassing me. Just this last friday, I went to the bank to carry out a transaction and I noticed most of the customers there were young military officers (small children fah!); immediately I left, 5 of them trailed me outside, stopped me and demanded that I identify myself. Because I didn't know who they were, I asked them to do so first and none of them could; I then asked if there was any issue but they didn't (rather couldn't) respond. Next thing I know, a 6th person just came out of the bank and shouted "Comot am joor!", one of them just cut my dog tag and they all walked away. Meanwhile, it wasn't as if I was wearing any military apparel (I was wearing a white shirt on a blue jean with my work safty boots o) or was I claiming to be a military officer in any way, the reason they did it, I don't know.
Anyway, instead of causing a scene, I just walked away, called the branch manager of the bank who stopped all transactions to them and insisted they release the tag to him or else he will not attend to them again until they gave him the tag.
Imagine that kind of harassment from mofos, who couldn't express themselves properly, just because they were given khaki and are being paid from tax payers money - part of which I contributed to o - in my own country.
