Pages and pages of primitive tribal nonsense! It's the 21st century and some still revel in a primary "tribal" identity!

Mate, you totally misinterpreted section 7 of the Armed Forces Act 2004.

Haba, try good habit, if you dont understand something, ask, instead of bad habit, attack writer and hope he defends himself by explaining what you wish to understand

I have full copy and read long ago, the Armed Forces Act Chapter A20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.

We reviewed complex sections of interest with fellows in defence sector and constitutional lawyers.

You failed to make any interpretation mate, you only made a noise that nobody benefited from.

Now to help you interpret what you find confusing on CDS role in Nigeria's DHQ.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You misinterpreted legal provisions of Part III sect. 7 sub-sect 1, 2 & 3. It says:

"Chief of Defence Staff shall, subject to general direction of the President and National Assembly, be vested with day to-day command and general superintendence of the Armed Forces.

Not withstanding, the President may make regulations as to the Service Chief in whom command over the respective service is vested;

Those regulations made under this section may provide for the duties, functions and powers of the Chief of Defence Staff and Service Chiefs.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Nigerian constitution boldly says duties functions powers of CDS are subject to directions of the President and regulated by the President, meaning he no longer has any role that the President takes away and prefers to give that role to others as in COAS CAS CNS to perform.
This is where you did not understand, causing your mistake.

Also this is how practically and traditionally all Nigerian Presidents subject and regulate CDS role into administrative + operational as I said, while field command of combat regiments, even procurement of equipment are always given to COAS CAS CNS, because constitution allows it to be done so by the boss of the CDS, Mr. President.

Next time when you read laws, try read complete sections, sub-sections and clauses that interpret each provision so that you avoid this type of legal mistake + misunderstanding.

Enjoy your evening mate.

Do you know that I am igbo.... The truth is that Kanu is more popular than any politician and he is accepted... He doesn't want to contest an election.. he has the people he wants biafra and that is what it is... Unfortunately for Nigeria they are now armed...


Can Nigeria fight war in two fronts .. North East and South East

ariesbull:



Landlocked.... Who told you that igbo land is landlocked .... I laugh ! With access to sea from two sides, Onitsha and obuaku blue sea

Ethiopia and Rwanda are landlocked and theey are far better run than Nigeria in all ramification

The best economies in europe Luxembourg, Switzerland, lichtenstein and Austria are all landlocked and better run


So trust igbo they would be better run... Stop begging for unity... They are not your gods they want to go let them go

ariesbull:


The greatest army on the world is the army of volunteers not conscripted ... Trust me the army ESN has are volunteer and theey are ready to die for an ideology and trust me these. Guys seem to be more cordinated from the way things are and theey are using. Guerilla approach we have seen how they engaged the army in Orlu and the impact

My dear, USA saw this in Vietnam


The only option left for Nigeria is negotiate... Remember that oil installation and oil pipeline pass through the length and breath of South Eastern Nigeria and if they can hurt these critical installation, the nation would be on their knees

Trust me.... They have learnt a whole lot of lesson from their war weary fathers on the 1970s....


So the best thing is negotiate with them or Pull out

Can Nigeria afford the new hostilities ? The answer is no... CAN ESN afford the new hostility considering the Diasporan funds .... Yes

But do we need this hostility ... No


All Nigeria need to do is be fair to igbo and give in

ariesbull:


You don't get it, once an internation river gets or opens to ocean, there is law allowing all the litoral nations to access the water ways... It's called the Danube laws and cabotage laws...

That is the only thing that matters and I don't think Nigeria has the right to stop them ...the way egypy can't stop those in lower nile from accessing it and what is Nigerian territory

Bonny is an igbo speaking island, Opobo is an igbo speaking place and these are very close to Atlantic ....and you can't stop the biafra from accessing that ...trust me , if that happens that would be a renewed confrontation and we don't want that

What they need is concession ...and from the look of things Rivers would definitely align with igbo becuase 70% of the people there are igbo speaking from Ikwerre to Ndoni ,from Opobo to Ndoki


East, west North and South what we need is peace and equity

Let's work towards peace

ariesbull:


Well, I think you are right in way but let's dialogue... I strongly believe in dialogue


Hong Kong is small as why chinese haven't invaded them... Because they know that they would get support

Isreal is small why haven't the whole arab invaded them ... They saw what happened to them during yom kippur .. and that is support

So as of support, trust me the igbo have a huge Diasporan connection and they are in high places...but we don't want war! I personally would go for a peaceful resolution of this conflict there should be a middle ground here ....but will Nigeria seek dialogue ?

Also... Let me tell you about international support, people wood always support a cause depending on how you sell it... If nations could support biafra then trust me with many igbo in Diasporan at high places gaining support wouldn't be an issue and also ... The black market arms dealers I'm the Eastern Europe would jump at the offer

So as of support trust me these guys got it.... How did Kanu stay on Isreal and overseas ? Ask yourself that question yet he hasn't been repatriated


My position is simple.... I don't ask for war and I don't want war but the greatest mistake any war strategist would make is to under estimate the enemy


We saw that in biafra war when they said that it would be a police action ... Yet the war lasted 3 hole years with heavy casualties on both sides ...

GeneralFarouq:

Isreal has a strategic importance to America and Europe.... .
Hong Kong enjoys it privileges because the US wants to ruin China...
Tell me what importance does the Igbo land has to world powers.. No world power both west and east would want to trade the control it has over Nigeria for the IPOB.
The only support u may get is from Ghana is S.A

ariesbull:


You will not understand... That was the question that the former Nigerians asked then... In biafra war until they saw biafra been supported by nations like France, Isreal etc

My dear, the world has changed and even if nothing, the strategic importance of the oil wells in Biafran region would make countries like china , Isreal listen to them ... St least you know igbo have always had a strategic relationship with Isreal years now

Apart from that... The EU is still mad at UK and theey would jump at any opportunity to see that UK is humbled ... Trust me

It depends on the handlers of biafra what they would sell


Let's stop the emotions... The truth is that Nigeria must start negotiating and pacifying the igbo... Majority of Igbo are tired and trust me ...

We don't pray for hostility because if it comes....

So let's engage and gragra no dey win anything... It hasn't won BH , Niger Delta Militants and hasn't stopped IPOB either

Make we dey learn naaa

Seems like we got alot these APCs

Hmmmm....?


I think we only got few, 8 in total and we've already lost one to I.E.D. One can't really tell if we purchased them or they where gift

Whyem15:


The honest truth is that you can't get Biafra through negotiations or any other peaceful solution. No reasonable nation or government will willingly do that. The only way you can get what you are clamoring for is through war, the casualties will be crazy and you might still not get what you want.
The only other alternative is to lobby other regions to seek for restructuring, return to true federalism and more autonomy for constituent unit.

The earlier you realize that there won't be a peaceful way out of Nigeria the better.

jpphilips:


Hongkong is strategic to Britain not US.

jpphilips:


pls go and study for your Jamb, uve said more than enough BS already.

jpphilips:


Cabotage laws are designed by host countries not foreign trespassers, if Nigeria so chooses that Biafra will not enjoy the Nun & Forcados rivers which are the Tributaries of Onitsha Niger river, then that becomes our Cabotage law, Ethiopia doesn't enjoy the Nile river more than Egypt allows, never!!
You can read the battle of the Nile to get a clue.

Bonny & Opobo understand igbo because of historical trade relationships, that does not make them Igbo speaking, Bonny are Ibani people not igbo while Opobo is Defaka.

Its shocking the infantile logic an igbo man applies, because a person speak a similar language doesn't mean he is one of you, do You expect England to accept you simply because you can write & speak English??

jpphilips:


Who told you Vietnam didn't conscript their soldiers? even US the aggressor used draft lotteries to conscript soldiers, every conscript is a volunteer depending on the nature & duration of the war.

Vietnam had volunteer units like every other under dog in a protracted conflict, the rest of your Bifra hype is a pile of cow dung, your doubts will soon be cleared.
