Knowledge is Power. There is no army in the world that wears full bomb disposal gear to defuse IEDs. It is an ongoing war and soldiers are on the move. Just imagine how cumbersome that same gear would be walking hundreds of miles through the jungle for days while executing a war. Let us not try and belittle everything we have.

I take a bow, talking from experience it seems you are a military guy or a relation.

Bro nice one totally impressed
www.

But they could have used another explosive (say a grenade) to destroy that bomb now, you can only save others when you are alive o! Besides, the officer who gave that soldier the order to use bare hand to difuse a bomb is very wicked

Dat guy get mind. Did Nigeria govt promise him death allowance?

I no wan look.
I still dey regret looking that foolish kaduna mopol some years back

So they sent the young man to kill himself eh




Why is he touching bombs with his hands? What hapoened to all that billions of dollars security budget?

Great job soldier but
did't they have protective gears?

Bro. The question is, do we have one of those in naija?

agreed but take a look at the crater again what do you see,a basic homemade IED,basic 202 of course IED in kontagora anti-terrorism training institute places it on different scales,that which you see is not high caliber and the soldier has the the essential job of disabling it before removing,note in as much as protective gear is needed VBIEDs are accorded that right.a mine detector and poker does the job for basic IED kapish.point noted thou

Bro, what that officer did in Kaduna and got blown to pieces wasn't in a any way an act of sacrifice and bravery; it was instead the greatest display of foolishness and emotionalism.

And then the one about whom this thread was created tried to defuse an dangerous device without full protective gear! That was another display of madness.

I disagree totally, I watched the police officers conduct in kaduna on video and what he did recked of recklessness and unproffesionalism,poking an IED laden bag furiously first failure,dragging it !more failure then kaboooom

I think you guys are over senstionalised by fancy gears and practices and forget that on the ground things differ when your dealing with basic IED ,anti personnel or anti tank mines ,u need your metal detector. first common sense and breakers to do the job,in the army u are trainned to do things in any condition.

till today almost all militaries diffuse these brands in hostile situations basically,US troops still do that in helmend province ..key thing to note is once you disable then removal is easy

Have good conscience to provide these soldiers with 'even' just half of the equipment they require and you will see them perform magic.The Nigerian soldier is brave and 'he' has never dissapointed even from the time of Burma Campaign. And just to add, I do not subscribe to the kind of 'bravery' above.

Stupid and irresponsible for the government to send a soldier to diffuse a bomb without proper protective gear! This can only be seen in a ZOO.

imhotep:

May Allah expose the nigerian soldiers who are smuggling arms to boko haram.

This isn't an act of patriotism, but stupidity, mindless risk taking and deliberate exposure to hazard. He should be sanctioned ASAP. Of course, you don't expect a smart White serviceman to do that!

Easy bro. We aunt fighting yet.
Yes I agree with you that he went contrary to the standard ethics of "bomb detonation ",but an indepth look at it and the situation on ground, probably the military did not provide him with necessary equipment needed for the task,he did the job out of patriotism and in accordance with the rules of engagement, his greatest tool was his guts and maybe cheers from onlookers. The solider probably said his last prayer before he did that detonation.
If I were to judge, I will applaud him for his bravery and commitment to his father land. Had he left the job waiting till they equip him properly, who knows, we might just be doing another body count (of victims) and someone will open a thread for it here on nairaland.

My brother, that wasn't in any way an act of bravery and patriotism, but pure suicide. I've watched that video more than once. The bomb wasn't an immediate threat to anyone since people had identified it and called the attention of the serviceman. Good judgment would have indicated he wait for proper personal gear before doing what I still term suicidal.

As far as you agrees he went contrary to ethics of bamboo detonation, then there's no more argument here. He simply lost his life by trying to appear smart, deceived by the cheering onlookers, and walked needlessly into his own grave. Period!
