1025: ihejirika is talking as a politician that he is and not as the military he pretends to be. he has been initiated into the stealing cabal and as such can only talk from their voices.
such statement can be applicable to any other country EXCEPT nigeria. we need serious minded and well disciplined military men(not political soldiers like ihejirika) to come in and sanitize this jungle like Jerry Rawlings did in ghana. when a real military man speaks, it comes with fire and not romantic words of military civilians like the speaker here.

is dis ur talent or ur destiny,if its ur destiny they re two tins involvd is either u inheritd stupidity frm ur dad or u enjoy being stupid

I don wanna join issues with u but explain this

Why is he deploying 3 Batallions in a small state like Abia where he hails from? Business or what? politics or what?

keletex2000: Nigerians,the most tribalistic people on earth. Just because he isn't from ur part of the country,he is a now a politician. Same shameless hypocrites would have showered praises and commended him ,if he were from their tribe...smh

Because he is eating from the crumbs of government. During military rule, no oga at the Top in term of employment, no boko haram which almost devastate our economy, he has other agenda but trying to conceal his intention. Watch nd see

Some of you should thank your God that we are in democracy, otherwise, this insult on a General would have cost you your life. More reasons why you should agree with his statement.

Subjective comment.

Every administration should be judged on its own merits; even the founders of the American democracy all came from a military background, General J.J. Rawlings laid the foundation for the transformation we see in Ghana today.

Nigeria has been under democratic governance since 1999, what has changed? Elections are still rigged with impunity, there is no freedom of the press, corrupt administrators, ministers are still in office and are not brought to account- in fact there has been a geometric increase in corruption at all levels of government, electricity provision has not improved, ASUU is still on strike etc etc -essentially Nigeria is still experiencing the same problems that it had under military rule.

I will support any leader that has the vision and a mission to make Nigeria a better country- military or politician

daffur: What type of hero deploys Own Troops with only AK47 and outdated Machine guns against better equiped Boko Haram.

Very clueless when u order ur commanders to deploy soldiers round a mountain with Boko Haram living at the top in well concealed caves.

on point

Ha ha ha

When u have ur artillery in place you need no Fvcking air support.

The pilot of the failed raid on BH camp is a Kanuri from Bornu state. The pilot goes up there flies round to alert the BH guys and come back to tell us no camp there.

So please try and understand me ok.

We have had miltary rule for a large chunk of our existence, where did it take us?

Sorry didnt mean to quote your post

Ok. U r welcome.

iam_idris: I prefer the military era than this our krazy democrazy

Would you still prefer the military if it was a Niger Deltan head state that would lead Nigeria

Civil Rule is better when u have Leaders with well placed motives and the interest of the nation at heart.

iam_idris: I prefer the military era than this our krazy democrazy

The best military rule is better.
No bureaucracies.

daffur: He can come and explain where are the brilliant Artillery officers of the Army and their equipment.




War on Terror is a big business in Nigeria.

In the world you mean

lovat: Can you compare Murtala govt with any democratic govt in Nigeria?

where u there or mature when he was in power or u just heard?

When the boko men where killing innocent citizens, ppl were watching and asking the military to confront them. Now the military is winning the war, some elements said they are killing innocent souls and destroying the economy of the north. Now that a general confirmed that the worst democracy is better than the best military rule. Some ingrates who didn't know the reason for his statement are quick to say he is clueless he would have fought against the politicians and kill innocent lives. What facts do they have to prove that those to be eliminated actually committed the crime of corruption? Then, maybe he should start from those corrupt public office holders from the region of those ppl that are asking him to eliminate the corrupt public office holders and let's see their reaction before proceeding to other regions. Some ppl dnt know the history of how the military coups took place before it degenerated to the civil war. I will implore them to go and read about it before making silly normative statements. Please don't quote me wrong, am not in support of corruption in any way but we need to be careful for what we wish for. Even the actions of uniform men to the civilians in this period of democracy is crazy talk less of when they are in power. That one will be"if we kill any member of your family, u must never complain nor shade tears."

Hahaha Nigerians. Check almost all threads in political section you will see that there's always quarel, insult and mis-understanding. That's the case in Govt... Its in our nature, we are currupt, bias, selfish. Those in govt are not congolese or ghanian or syrians. they are Nigerians so I would not expect more if any of you get a part in Govt... I believe things will change with time.

@1025 ihejirika is talking as a politician that he is and not as the military he pretends to be. he has been initiated into the stealing cabal and as such can only talk from their voices.

@ 1025 - my friend shut up. Who are u to judge Ihejirika. What are u sill doing as a civilian, u should be the COAS and probably be making the correct speeches. What the hElLLLL were u saying. Ok maybe he should have said Military should come back to Nigeria. People like u are hard to please. Simply take the position and stop making noise. Noise makers like u should be banned from making reckless and illogical comments on NL.

yes they should set aside big money for informant, that is no 1 and be sincere to them , nigerians know criminals but they may like to be paid for that

emmydeep:

General Ihejirika is a hero. We love him so much and shall keep supporting him.
Is he going for a political post?

My bro you just said truth ok, haters go and hug transformer ok, if only he is not an igboman some of you goatheads will be singing praises for him.
if not tell me what is wrong with what he just. said.

This is seriouse.A soldier talking with political undertone.he has been influence by these political evangelist who go about preaching the sermon of democracy without relevant organisation and government infrastructures in the country

daffur: When u have ur artillery in place you need no Fvcking air support.

You just de yarn.

You would need artillery fire true to break down trenches, bunkers and gun emplacements.
But you would also need attack-helicopters to search out and destroy the mobile enemy forces on the ground and to insert well trained infantry and special(mobile) police units to eliminate holdouts, consolidate gains and to hold the ground.

The crucial factor is that there needs to be some kind of combined-arms assault to annihilate and exterminate these well-entrenched fanatics.

Gen. please when would you people end bokoharamu? That should be what you should be your major concern, not military govt. and democracy, nobody would ever allow khaki boy ruin this country.

Would you noise makers have prefared him to say The worst millitary rule is better than the best democracy? That a coup signal.
Nigerians take it easy.
We are suffering because of tribalism. Take away tribalism you will be able to analyse issues better.

Nice politically correct statement and a show of support of GEJ by Ihejirika. He knows fully well that as a commissioned millitary man, his training does not include the ideology that a millitary rule is worse than any democracy. In fact, a millitary coup is a legitimate tool to get rid of a despotic democratic governments which subject its citizens to gross human rights abuses and looting their treasury dry, among other attrocious misdeeds. Successful coups can result to millitary rule which are much better than the kind of democracy which calls for coup, albeit, the military rule should be an interim type.

Nonsense Chief of staff and a disgrace to officer's corp. He is the type of student we routinely bullied in Zaria, just like Dede1.

Ihejerika's statement could be liken to calling the cow a brother because we want to eat it.

As much as I like this man, Ihejirika, I totally disagree with his views on the military and civilian rule comparison, I think I am a fan of the military working, reliable more than this civilian rule foisted on us by the western world!
