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.

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.

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'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

AceRoyal:

What were u expecting before?
From quota system to accelerated promotion.
No southerner will ever be given such privilege!

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.

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.

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.

NA79/21553 should have retired if this is the service number of MWO garba except they made a mistake there..... Good one for that but how long will he serve now due to age....... All the best to him and his family.....

vankaid:
Aboki or no aboki that one na una concern.
I just happy for the guy. Its just like hearing the news of a primary school headmaster being promoted to a secondary school principal.
For once guys, lets forget the process and be happy for the guy.
Even with all the corruption in Naija this is a rare occurence.

gidgiddy:


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?

intruxive:
Must igbos hate always? Can dey not just pretend to be reasonable a litle?
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
