waiting this one the talk here , as far Africans is concern not only Nigeria ur conutru Army are the best who are DSS compare to Army ,forget what is happening in northeast area boko haram is a politics , if not for politic ,10/ army will finish boko haram .Dss are bloody civilian till.this world will end
That's the problem y'all are still stuck with the stereotype...During GEJ tenure, DSS was fully funded and uprgraded,he paid much interest into their activities.. PMB came and tried to restrict them to an extent..PMB prefers The Armed forces period.
The scope and direction of DSS has expanded recently...They were given more responsibilities like taking part in internal security as well. Y'all talking about fearing a soldier with boots and cane buh am talking bout infiltration, intelligence gathering and execution...The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room.....Am done with this thread.

You're comparing DSS to Army when the former head of DSS sacked by Osinbajo was arrested by ordinary policemen and locked in SARS HQ Abuja.

A pure Naija mentality OP!





Should we be talking about 'fear' or 'respect' where state agents like the Army and DSS are concerned?



State agencies have a paramount responsibility to PROTECT and not to INSTILL FEAR!

Their legal name is State Security Service.

I stand with you on this....DSs is more socially responsible if I will say from my experience..
I got a little tipsy a night after watching UCL and my car won't start...I heard some DSs guys were also relaxing at d same spot...I just walked up to one on d steering and told him to drop me home!! ��He looked at me for a few sec...asked me to hopp in...he drove me to my gate with a shot gun by his side...I thanked him and offered him 2k..again he smiled... asked me to go in...and off he goes...I was impressed....I doubt if I can try that with a Nigerian army...

If the DMI and CID were functional, the DSS won't have anything to do.

Army (soldiers) are used mostly for war, but DSS is based on intelligence and tactics.

They use more sophisticated weapons more than the soldiers.


DSS is for the president, the president's back pocket, while the soldiers are meant for the civilians and the country.

Bro you never jam DSS. One thing about this "THING" of theirs, is that they are not meant to be conventional (covert) but only their sight send chills down the spine of those who knows.
.
While the military is overt, that's why it seems they are brute but in training, skills and firearms handling...please NA is no match to them with all due respect sir. You can only compare them with DMI, NIA not even EFCC.
.
Remember you fear what you know and see. Those that sees and knows DSS those that this comparism is not necessary.

Nonsense!
We see videos of soldiers everyday fighting boko haram, how many DSS we don see? All the trainings they undergo is to oppress harmless civilians abi? If u don't know, DSS is in the same class with immigration and customs. They are not even in the force category. Then u are comparing them to the number one force in the world? If it were to be years back, you nor know say army for don plot another coup take over the nation? Na those ones you dey compare with civilian DSS??

Mr Man shut up, you don't know anything about military.
Do you think military starts and ends with those personnel you see on road blocks at Enugu Onitsha freeway?

In the States, FBI and Secret Service are just retirement or resting place for tough Marines and Navy Seals who want to remain active after service. Even with numerous Secret Sevice agents, US President can't step an inch without making sure that US Marines are near him all the time.

The DSS overseas the internal security. It is primarily responsible for intelligence gathering within the country and for the protection of senior government officials, particularly the President and state governors while the Army are meant for war and is responsible for land warfare operations. The security agent I love so much is the NIA,they are just like CIA.They head all the security agencies in Nigeria including the Military. I'm talking from experience.I have a bro that works with the NIA and they share intelligence with the Military.Those guys are mad. I will choose NIA for protection over the Army.I saw one who is among the VP security unit, if u see the way they think and guns he had with him that day,closed to 5 pistols while DSS only has one pistol.
