These Soldiers are taking out Boko Haram frustration on citizens.

Some soldeirs can be very brutal. I've seen a soldier slap a trader (Front hand. Back hand) because the trader's wares fell and one hit him. Imagine the nonsense. He even went as far as "seizing" two school bags from the man's shop.

I've had a former colleague get flogged by a military man because he didn't move out of the way for him to drive through. It was clear that his vehicle couldn't start and someone was trying to help him push it but he was flogged like a thief all the same.

In Nigeria every element in a uniform with a little drop of authority is a tyrant. The only set of people I haven't seen misbehave is probably the red cross.

madridguy:
This is barbaric and uncalled for. General buratai should please call his boys to orderliness.

As for the writer, must we always put sentiments in everything? Yesterday we heard how same soldier almost killed the deputy governor of Borno state after beaten his ADC and now someone is reporting this as if the soldiers were directed to a particular tribe. The writer should visit Sango market and find out how many bags of rice were carted away by the evil men during same December.

I will like to 1st condemn the beating or disgracing of an innocent responsible citizen yet I would like us to look at the case in another angle. If you listen to the soldier's side story, you may not totally blame them. Think of their Counterterrorist training, risks they take being on highway, harsh weather condition and all. What the lecturer should have done was to submit the phone and beg seriously then sincerely apologize if the phone is released. I witnessed one scene on abuja keffi road; a woman was receiving a call too, when the solider asked her to come down and submit the phone, she knelt down and started begging that she didn't know the rule. everyone there with the soldiers just laughed and they just asked the woman to joined us in the bus with her phone. Being humble at times can save one from danger even from an arm robber let alone a sane soldier.

Soldiers have them problem. The ADC aside but that Borno deputy governor is a very incompetent dude. he once caused an accident on his way to UNIMAID to write his diploma exam?, the guy caused over 5 vehicles to hit each other & he didn't even apologized. He just drove up with a hilux full of DSS personnel. He just check wether his parado jeep was damage & then drove away leaving the accident victims behind.


So serves him right!!!, am sorry bout d ADC though

mykelly:
I don't support the brutality of the man but I want you to know there is no ignorance in law. The soldiers you are calling names have their lives on the line too

CagedSoul:

With all due respect, I do not see any sense in your post.
stupid bastard psychopaths in uniform brutalizing civilians and you are defending them.
so a lecturer should kneel and beg a primary six corporal or private.
Who made the rule about phone calls ? where? when?
counterinsurgency training involves beating civilians ? Nigerians especially in the south are too docile. Try to practice this kind of "counterinsurgency training" in the middle east or USA or any country with a well armed citizenry.
Personally, I feel the guy has options. He should explore them if he is truly a man.

Nigeria is a rubbish zoo country without a direction or leadership

Your writings for make sense but fell short when you mentioned that "so a lecturer should kneel and beg a primary six corporal or private". Its a stupid naija mentality talk that equates position, education, money etc over other things. Hence if a constable policeman should question a medical Doctor or a Millionaire, the Policeman is automatically wrong. Nonsense IPOB mentality calling naija zoo as if you yourself is not a bribe giver or taker.

If your report against Usman Durkwa is true then he will surely meet his waterloo someday.

nigeria i

back to sender!! See this weyrey oh You see there's actually no argument here about what the lecturer did. Receiving a phone call while on the wheels is perceived as a crime in Nigeria. The argument here is bout why would the soljos mete that kinda punishment on a civilian, when even the crime is next to nothing. And if u actually read my comment, u would see where I clearly stated that "I'm not trying to justify anything". Once again, back to sender.

aisammy4:
Sorry to say this ' I don't believe this man is a lecturer'.

Someone just saw this picture and want to use it to get attention.

It's only criminal that can be treated this harsh. Military men are trained to be disciplined and there is no way a person be punished this for just making call. Unless there is an exception
