#NigerianArmy, General Awoniyi Knew what was coming and what the rulings by the court marshal mean!

The army is a highly discipline organization that is characterized by strict laws and order in every area of their lives, down to what they do when they are alone in the privates confines of their homes or anywhere. And anytime anyone decides to answer that clarion call, to be enlisted, “WILLINGLY”, you are to bring yourself under those laws and order. You are to be bound by the orders and rudiments regulating and guiding the military professions and her oppressions. And being a General, which is the top echelon of the force, you become the symbol and the enforcers of the laws governing the force. And anytime you slip on those laws, you know yourself that it is your ass that is to be blame and not the institution with her set down laws which you had agreed and signed for.

So it became very appalling and spite of ignorant to see “bloody civilians”, whether for want of understanding or for out of pure mischief to see some so called activists and segregation apologists berating the military and insinuating ulterior motive or victimization as is being insinuated in some quarters as reported recently when the news filtered to the public that the former Operation Lafia Dole’s Commander, Major Gen. Olusegun Awoniyi has been found guilty for violating and contravening the Nigerian Army social media guideline related to military personnel and therefore, ruled on that he be demoted at least three years. According to the news, the military court found Gen. Awoniyi guilty on Monday and ordered his demotion to at least three years. What that mean is that he would now be rated and categorized along his juniors of three years. What that potent is to him is that, his mates, and those a year and two years his juniors would now be his senior automatically, while he only be rated at par with personnel he senior three years.

General Awoniyi with his rank knew the law regulating army personnel when it comes to the use of social media, and when he was caught pants down, he knows what is coming and he should be ready to bear his cross. Even if the army is being under equip weapon wise as the general tried letting us know, he should have adopted the proper communication channel to get to the military hierarchy with his observation and suggestion. And adopting the measure he adopted was a no, no, and demands a severe sanction for the army is a highly regulated profession.
