But really the Nigerian Army fall the General hand by coming public saying he was a coward. I can't for the life of me imagine a soldier- let alone a General- display cowardice.

Now the humiliation is complete- taken further steps by his arrest and subsequent release, and now his demotion.

Cowardice is a genetic trait, no amount of training will remove it.

Coward is the most demeaning thing a soldier...A general of the army for that matter could be labelled.

Worse still from a very prominent Yoruba family - Ransome-Kuti.

I could recall the story of Brigadier General Babafemi Ogundipe who rather than take over from Major General Ironsi, fled to England, and died soon after in England like a fowl. All for the fear of subordinates like T.Y Danjuma, Hassan Katsina, Shuwa, Murtala Muhammed and their likes from the North.

As a bloody civilian, I have a favorable opinion about Obasanjo's military carrier. But one of those in the know, Gen. Alabi Isama, of Ilorin, believes OBJ was a "coward and of low IQ". Citing his lack of bravery and what transpired when OBJ was shot in the buttocks while fearfully retreating from the battle front.



Then, a Lt. Gen. Oladipo Diya, kneeling and crying for his life to be saved. Nigerians have really bastardized military ranking.

Soldiering is not a cup of tea. No matter the atmosphere of peace in your country at the time of enlisting in the force, bear in mind that it could rapidly deteriorate to a war situation. There and then, you will be frontally faced with the possibility of imminent death.

People who are thinking of using 'long leg' and/or using their prominent family names to get into NDA should ask themselves serious questions. Cos the day of reckoning would surely come.

That's exactly my point!
He is well connected hence his getting away.
In other climes , these kind of crime in the midst of war can earn you summary execution!

But in Nigeria they are all cowards in uniform
I tell U the army is a poverty alleviation program
Most of them there are just in it for the salary and the small benefits
There is not one if them who is not indebted to some bank esp the officers.
Its only in Nigeria you see army officers craving the comforts of civilian life. They want to live among civilians but when its time to bully the civilians they are good at it. Meanwhile they run away from terrorists and any real threat to the country

Be careful when pointing fingers....



If you say all the ones above are COWARDS, what will you then call that bearded one, who launched a war by himself, on his own people and in the heat of it, stole all the "aid Money" his people were given to survive, ran away with the money, dressed like a woman, to Ivory Coast , leaving almost Three Million of his Zombie followers to be butchered like Christmas Chicken?
To make may matters worse, he came back a few years latter, crawling all over the place asking the same Huasa/Fulani masters of theirs who he was trying to fight, to pardon him!
To convince them that he is now "reformed" and hate his own people. he made the "Nigerian National Anthem" his Ring Tone and even contested under the same Nigerian Flag the same Flag he wanted to change, over which three million of his kins men were butchered like fowl!


I hate cowardice too but some Cowardice like that of Odimegwu Ojukwu, nor get Part 2!
Its enough to run away, but to now come back and disgrace the same people who sacrificed their life in the millions, for your selfish ambition to be President, is unpardonable.
The same people are still suffering the consequence up till today, for the actions of this "Mother of all Cowards" who ran away when it mattered most

But you know what, Nigeria pardoned him. God bless Nigeria grin


As for Brig. Gen Kuti, he was sabotaged by his superiors (from Dasuki, to Bafarawa, to General Amosu, to PDP-Olisah Metuh ,e t.c.) who equipped his unit with fake and outdated and sometimes, non-working weapons....... while asking him to face imminent death in the hands of very brutal and well-armed Boko haram terrorists.
Even Pilots who were given unserviceable Helicopter to do battle, crashed and died even before engaging the enemy! undecided

Brig Kuti only did what is called "Tactical Retreat" in military parlance, to regroup so that he can better face the enemy.
A General who "retreats tactically", lives to come back and fight another day.


Even over 100 Soldiers who were initially sentenced to death for the same offence, later commuted to dismissal, are still protesting their dismissal at the National Assembly. So, its not just about general Kuti alone.

The Blame lies squarely on the doorstep of those who looted money meant to buy arms and equip general Kuti's troops.
Those ones should be hanged, from the top-most, to the least of them

Finding of no guilt... Discharged and acquitted but DERANKED, on what ground? Falana will still drag them to court again

It pays to learn to read well. He was acquitted of only the first of 3 charges. Why can't you people just spare an extra minute to read thoroughly to avoid embarrassing yourself and influencing others who, like you, would also jump straight to the comments without reading?

Honestly i think people who post without reading well should have their comments hidden.

At least he did not run away, only to come back crawling on the floor, begging to be pardoned.... and then abandon the same folks whose life he placed on the line, to take up positions with "the enemy",.... just because of his selfish interest. undecided undecided

Only the very Brave can commit suicide, to protect their own integrity, when all other options fail. Awolowo though not a miliatry man, was very brave, no doubt


That is what that "Army General" Ojukwu who eloped to Abidjan should have done....... instead of ridiculing a whole race who are still paying the price for his "exemplary cowardice", till today.

As for we the omoluabis. we have Awolowo who was smart and courageous, he no run, Gani fawehinmi nko, he no run, fela nko,

Even though many if us supported Buhari, na we still dey criticize am pass. Abeg who criticize Buhari pass Fayose and ffk, even Soyinka dey criticize am but Ipob politicians dey find way to join APC.

If Una call a whole general coward, then u have no idea what it takes to be a general.

Oh...I don see am. If he deserves his punishment, then so be it.
He was in commander who led soldiers to retake a community captured by bokoharam.He ordered soldiers to retreat during exchange of gunshots with bokoharam and he fled to maiduguri city for several months before he was recaptured by the army authority and charged.That was cowardice of him being a commander in the army.

For a general to abandoned military equipment in the hands of bokoharam and fled deserve severe punishment than just demotion.This is one of the officers that embezzled junior soldiers peace keeping allowances and jailed the soldiers for protesting.Those soldiers who were dismissed and jail for protesting against the withholding of their u.n peacekeeping allawees should be recall and their allawees paid to them.
