So is he the only one that made up the battalion or what is the justification for this accelerated promotion? No officers training @ the NDA? It can only be with an aboki you know.That is how they undeservely perpetuate themselves on the Nigerian nation.

Check out how uneducated rank and file Ironsi became a Major General. The military is a practical organization and they know themselves better.

If he's a southerner, the COAS wouldn't have noticed all these, even if he does, he can't give him this kind of accelerated promotion.

The promotion was well planed and played.

I thought u guys said it was only southerners fighting BH. U people are pathetically bitter souls ..

You're just a bast.ard for reasoning like this. May you never be appreciated for ur good effort and you'll know how it feels.

I am entitled to my opinion and I think you know this, even the constitution empowered ME and gave me freedom of speech. Your curses are with you. What if I say may your labours be in vain as other SE soldiers hv bn denied their promotions?, but I won't say that. Just know that there's no police AIG and Army GOC of SE extraction. kiss the truth.

I've always tried to avoid posts and comments that promote or degrade tribes/ethnics but reading the first few comments on this post this morning is disheartening. Must people be so filled with hate that the see evil everywhere? I hope those that dropped the first few comments (claiming favoritism because the man is a northerner) don't go about in real life with such hatred and bitterness in their hearts. You guys just drop irresponsible comments without thinking it over in your minds. Even at our place of work, people keep getting promotions and recommendations because they excel at what they do. OK fine, let's say the Army does actually promote people based on sentiments...how would you feel if you have actually dedicated your life to defend a nation and when you get recognized for it, you read such comments from citizens who you have sacrfifced so much for?



Congratulations O'jare, Mr. Soldier. Oye a mori o cool

For those of u confused and saying jabberwockies. This is why he was promoted
COAS visited the unit on 4 Aug 17. During the visit the COAS toured round the unit's deployments and was impressed with the WO's exceptional performance and composure in the operational description of his defended post/ employment of Sp Wpns. The COAS imm dir his approval for EC with waiver on age ceiling.

I honestly still don't see his "exceptional performance. What exactly did he do?

More than half of all the Hausa/Fulanis in the Nigerian Army & other Civil Service were actually promoted & favoured above their counterparts based on the “quota-system”.

If you apply to the NDA and you do not have an Hausa/Fulani names, even if you excel in the exams, your chances of being enlisted is “zero”. I know this because I've lived in the north for more than 10 years.

This is Y Nigeria is fvcked.

You're too ignorant to speak in public!

You may have lived in the north, but it is obvious that you know next to nothing about the things you mentioned.

The NDA admits equal number of cadets from each state, bar the host state, Kaduna. So, by your logic, who then takes the spots that are allocated to the Southern States?

If anything, it is the Southerners who claim northern origins so they could take spots meant for northerners. I've seen it happen countless times before.

If you got turned back at the NDA, then it is because you failed!

This is my first time to hear that an NCO was promoted to a CO. If only some of us commenting here understand the number of ranks that was jumped, you will know that it's questionable.

Its possible for an NCO to be promoted to the officer corps. Ironsi, Ademulegun and Philip Effiong were all NCO's before becoming officers. However, a lot of consideration has to go into it such as the age, intelligence and experience. An NCO has to pass officer exam, go for officer course and must be usually younger than 40.

This giy was just promoted and given a commission just like that.

I wonder if his name had been Emeka Chukwu, they would have rushed to promote him in the same way?

Gallantry is a valid reason for promoting an already experienced soldier, all other trainings will be given him gradually.
Thank God for people like him, BH would have captured nnewi by now and some ppl will be idps in cameroun tongue

Please reading through all the comments I see nowhere Igbo was referred to, what was referred to was southerner.. Please share comment. Thanks.

With much due respect, you are a fool for this comment. Your tribe is not the only tribe in Nigeria. If you don't know about the military or military operations or guerrilla warfare, why don't keep your mouth shut. Must you bring your tribal bitterness & frustration on every issue?

At the theatre of war, for a man to have commanded sub unit & recommended for promotion to the rank of an officer suitable for that responsibility you are now complaining. How many officers & men have we lost till date? If he had died, would you have said he died because he is an Aboki?

While talking restructuring, try to be logical & reasonable.

Yup.

Most of the clowns actually do not know there is something called executive commisioning, and it is availble from Rank of Sgt. Being a MWO, promoting him to captain is not out of place via the executive commisioning. Only that he will be retirer soon, but he will be paid the etittlements of a captain..which is good for him
