they've done that already.

This is what happens when competence is sacrificed on the alter of region & religion. Politicians should leave the army alone to conduct their affairs

Its funny but true...That's the Nigerian factor...Congrats to them hope they defend their father land with all their heart and might

Father in heaven. Bless these men. Keep them, and their soldiers safe. Give them the insight and wisdom needed to lead. Give them strength of character, and brave hearts. Help them to be compassionate, yet stalwart in their commitment to their beliefs and to their country. Though their backgrounds be diverse, allow them to see past their differences, and embrace unity in purpose. Together-ONE-Mighty. In Jesus name Amen.
