How The Nigerian Military Got Degenerated Recently
By The Imposition Of Unprofessional Generals At The
Helm Of Affairs
1. Mr President sir, once more we write to intimate
you on the unprofessional conduct of some of the so
called Generals you appointed to hold high commands
in the military, but unfortunately they succeeded in its
destruction. You have sufficiently been warned before
about no many wrong doings within the military but
you turned a blind eye. This could be due to your
complicit in the whole affair or lack of control in your
administering the nation. Under your watch, the
Nigerian military has degenerated to its lowest ebb
because of your weakness and the professional
incompetence of the so called military commanders
you put in charge. In the Nigerian military today,
mediocrity and sycophancy reins largely due to the
promotion and appointments of unmerited officers. We
hope that this time around you will take quick
necessary actions to address this hopeless situation
before the end of your tenure. Thank God Nigeria has
now elected a more serious and competent person as
its next leader.
2. Your Excellency sir, it is a public knowledge that
you inherited a rag tag Boko Haram that has little
ability to carry out the deadly attacks we witnessed
during your tenure. Even a daft would know that these
called Boko Harem are controlled and are directed to
hit at some selected target. Thereby giving the public
impression as if they are a formidable force that
required large fore and weaponry to contain. During
these periods, your government deliberately denied
our troops of adequate equipment to arrest the
situation on time. It is a well-known fact that your
government budgeted a lot of money to combat
insurgency.
Everyone knows that part of the budget was used to
arm the Boko Haram, thereby making them more
ferocious and deadly as we witnessed. While most
part of the budget was looted by your corrupt
appointed senior military commanders. Imagine, a
whooping sum of over 4 billion Naira is budgeted
quarterly for the administrative and logistic upkeep of
troops in the ongoing operations in the North East.
Despite these entire huge amounts, our troops grossly
complain of bask necessities including even their
regular allowance. Lt Gen KTJ Minimah must be the
richest Chief of Army Staff in history aside Lt Gen OA
Ihejirika (rtd).
3. Surprisingly, when the just concluded elections
drew near and you desperately needed popular
support especially in the north, you directed that new
military hardware’s be purchased in order to confront
and defeat the so called Boko Haram within the
shortest possible time. It is of knowledge to most
Nigerians that almost 90 % of the hardware’s
purchased were not new but were refurbished. This
accounted for the ineffectiveness and constant
breakdown of the so called new weapons in the battle
field. It will however interest you to also know that
bulk of the ammunition ordered and brought into the
country recently by your government were
manufactured in 1975 and are therefore obsolete. All
these were dishonestly done in order to fetch
maximum financial gains for your corrupt senior
military commanders at the detriment of providing
quality to their country. What a corrupt, unpatriotic
and criminal ways of crippling own military and
country. The whole weapons and ammunitions were
coordinated and purchased by the Army Minister for
Special Duties in the person of Brigadier General
Dennis Mustapha Onoylveta.
4. Mr President sir, most of these Generals you
appointed into high commands of the military lack the
administrative and command intellect to effectively
lead even an ordinary fighting platoon in battle. Most
of them have dearly displayed their emptiness and
lack of mental demands required of them to
competently carry out their assigned tasks. In the
Army headquarters today, generals no longer offer
quality inputs and advice on issues of military
administration. They only tell the COAS what he
wants to hear. Thereby giving room far mediocrity and
sycophancy.
One wonders why the barely two year old 7 division
have so far been commanded by five Generals. All of
them have woefully failed in their command and
administrative abilities. One again wonders why there
is too much court marshals presently going on in the
Army. The Nigerian Army has entered into the
Guinness Book of Records by having more than 4000
officers and soldiers been Court Martial within the
period of one year. The several court marshals were
just conducted as a cover up for Incompetence and
weakness of the Army high command.
It is a sort of FRUSTRATION AGGRESSIVE ACTION. It
might interest you to know that the Chief of Army
Staff, Lt Gen Minirnah and his other corrupt Generals
are presently making frantic efforts to beef up
previously under staffed units in the field for fear of
possible investigation by the incoming no nonsense
government. You remember sir, we earlier exposed
the fact that the figures given on paper as the
strength of troops operating in the north east is not
corresponding with what obtains physically on ground.
Hence the ongoing effort to cover up. What a corrupt
and degenerated Army. No wonder our military has
become a laughing stock among African Nations and
the world at large. The current situation on ground is
that the COOS has given an order to dismiss 4,500
soldiers or there about from the army on or before 27
May 2015, for refusing to fight Boko Haram without
enough ammunitions and no sophisticated Support
weapons with them to combat the insurgents. Mr
President Sir, dismissing those innocent soldiers may
cause another havoc to the Nation.
5. As we are writing this paper, some 9 officers and
over 200 soldiers are on their way from Maiduguri to
Jos for jurisdiction. Their offense is said tube
disobedience to ILLEGAL ORDERS. In that the soldiers
refused to fight without adequate weapons/equipment
it was even said that the soldiers were without food
for 3 days. It was also said that the GOC 7 Division,
Major General LO Adeosun accompanied by a director
from Army Headquarters Department of Operations,
Major General AG Okunlola were physically with these
same troops In the battle field at Bitta when Boko
Haram attacked last week. The GOC and the director
took away the most serviceable Armored Personnel
Carrier and runaway with it, leaving the troops with
the only unserviceable one and one 105rnm Artillery
Gun to their fate.
Where on earth has only one Artillery Gun ever
deployed for operation? This can only be done in the
present Nigerian Army where empty Generals are in
charge. What unprofessional and a cowardly act by
two supposedly trained Generals. Mel Gen LO
Adeoson should be removed as GOC 7 division with
immediate effect before he plunge the division into
further disaster. The questions one would further ask
are:
a. Why did the GOC and his colleague not call for
reinforcement from Air force and his divisional assets
to assist in defeat of the Boko Haram attack??
b. Why would the GOC not have sufficiently read the
battle and direct the Junior commanders on what to
do rather than escaping??
c. Why would the 7 division plan an operation without
making adequate ‘ logistics arrangement to the extent
that troops had to stay without food and water for 3
days? Is that the teaching and practice in the Nigerian
Army? www.thecomplex.ng/?p=2791

So his wealth has surpassed Akinrinade, IBB, Danjuma and Abacha, abi OP forgot these men were COAS too

If its a northerner as COAS, then issues of competence wouldn't arise
M.steeww, sometimes I wonder....
If they are truly inefficient, why were they threatening ihejirika with ICC? We have oligarchs in Nigeria north today all thanks to the military
Ibnsultan or wateva ur name is, am not surprised at ur post, its the same foul crying the north has been doing the past 6yesrs. Buhari has 8yrs at most and another region will taste power so its not business as usual for u Fulanis. Nigeria is now on the ryt part thanks to God for giving us men like obj and gej at some point in Nigeria's history
I drop my pen

Don't mind the OP! It's always convenient to malign the SS and praise the North! Animals!!!

Malign? Haba! Did you read the post at all? If one of your blood was in the midst of those soldiers starved for three days and thereafter left like chickens for the terrorists to come and roast what will you say? Why do you people always bring ethnic blindfold to national issues?

My guy, national issues always have ethnic colouration because of the nature of the country! Wake up and smell the coffee!

More so, I read the article!!! SS people also shed their blood (in fact, there are some who say that people from the South were intentionally posted to hotbeds!) and they are my kindred!!! No need to appeal to emotion when the crux of the matter is the inordinate arrangement called Nigeria!


What is sauce for goose, must be sauce for the gander! Quid pro quo!!!

He can paint a gory picture to prove a point! War is no circus, that we know! But to label people corrupt when you turned a blind eye and deaf ear, tongue tied, when your own was in power...just to turn around and abuse others when they are trying their best is the height of hypocrisy! I don't support criminality, but he who must come to equity must come with clean hands!

If you live in a glasshouse, don't throw stones!!!

You need to be shot tied to a tree

We said it then but some blind tribalism bigot will come here to say trash about this so called political general !!!
