You go primary school like this?

Happy one Nigeria... where other regions regions are seen as slave

Sahara Reporters can't stop lying. From the names mentioned, there are at least 10 northerners. Out of the 10 northerners, at least 6 of them might be Muslims. So what's Sahara Reporters insinuating now? What's the essence of this report?

Sarah trash reporters are known for fake news these days. Since Sowore lost in election, he has lost his senses. He's now just another desperate delusional idiot.

It may look that way but they are more Christian is that they bear Muslim's name

It will be worst in years to come bc of nepotism of admission in forces now in Nigeria in last 6 years.
It worsen the divide.

The country for jus divide peacefully

Not surprised

you can not expect less from a very useless man call president, this man has completely ridicule the name president worldwide.

Wetin u talk make understand the reason Irabor and Attahiru graduated same year but different month apart. What will be the fate of Those Army Short Service officers between 88 - 90 will they be retired or retained?

As long as the COAS is your senior then you are safe

Abeg when is the match time for Chelsea vs man city?

Somehow this serves the yoruba nation right. See the reward YOUR overwhelming support for the Northerners politically has landed you and the other Regions of the Country.

A bitter lesson and pill for the other Nigerian ethnicity to swallow. Next time we will choose/vote wisely!
"Sai Baba" Sai Baba" shebi e don use bias and ethnicity over look una Generals abi?... Well it's too late to cry!!!

By the way I'm an ijaw man feom Delta State so worry less about thinking I'm from the East..

There's nothing new here; every single Nigerian president since 1999 has done the same thing. Presidents pick their choice from the pool of Generals, and any General higher in rank than the chosen person has to retire. OBJ did it, Yaradua did it, GEJ did it and Buhari has done it. There's nothing illegal or unconstitutional about this so why is this one a special case?

It is unfortunate that even the most senior general was not appointed because of his tribe.

What of his coursemates, will they continue to serve or be retired?

Omihanifa:
Let him continue appointing northerners in every available position. If he doesn't know he's just setting a dangerous precedence

Another president will also come and him too will sideline the north (Hausa and Fulani)
Nah that time dem go know how painful it can be

Stop being a bigot..... U want him to appoint a Southerner to replace e a Northerner? Even when we already have 2 service chiefs from the South ? Besides its a political appointment, he reserve the right to appoint some that will be loyal to him...

Other Presidents did same..

How will u feel if he replaced a Southerner with a Northerner?

It's obvious now, something is being planned by the fulani to turn this country to their own, that is why they are putting their own people in the top most positions

Don't be infatuation of HATE !
Either soon or later a southern will be emerge president and a Christian! Then what should the muslim said about him!

God bless Kanu the prophet

If any doubting Omoluabi's need any reason to support the Oodua agitation, this is it. Tinubu and his Co travellers can keep deceiving themselves. Fulani have destroy Nigeria beyond redemption. #END NIGERIA NOW!!!

Fulani Muslims are bigots, ethnic jingoists, hateful, violent and terrorists.

It is Major-General B. Ahanotu from Anambra that I pity most. He missed out to late Attahiru and again to the new one. He might be on the way out soon. He has been acknowledged as one of the most brilliant officers, the best in his class.

Read his profile.

Water is wet

Okay

Are Muslims and Christians the only thing you saw from the list?

Abdul05:
Does our constitution forbid that ?

Not expecting any less from a President that divided his country into the 97 percenters and the 5 percenters..

Nepotism is a state policy..

babyfaceafrica:
It's his choice abeg.. Make dem retire

It's not bad . Actually, everyone has their favourites and would push up narratives to favour their candidates.

The CDS is 34rc and late COAS from 35rc. 6 months difference as NDA wasn't degree awarding then. It became degree awarding from 36rc. 34rc and 35rc will clock 35 years of service this year. If Attahiru had not died, they would also have been like their predecessors; Olonisakin and co who stayed beyond 35 years of service. Normally, it is best for a service chief to serve his tenure within the 35 years of service.

The new COAS is 37rc and will clock 35 years of service in 2023, same year a new President would come in and change them. This allows for normal career progression for everyone. Also, unlike secondary school, once your junior is appointed as head in the military, you have to retire. Staying means obeying his every command and him having the authority to lock you up if needed. The promotion in rank finalises his authority over his mates who might be his senior in terms of army number. Any mate of his that is dissatisfied will also put in paper.

A you personnel?!!
Nice one . A lot of people don't know how the military operates... They just come to Nairaland, cry and say rubbish..


If only they new, most won't scream the way they do.


Sha.... You piece up there need to be read by civilians who don't understand shit about the military..

Really i do find it difficult arguing politics because most people argue on sentiment. But think the president decision on this appointment is right even if appointment are wrong. We have 4 post, the CDS and 3 service chiefs, 2 are from the south, definitely the other 2 will have to come from the north. In a POLARIZED country like OURS. No president will allow more number of service chief come from a particular region. In a polarized country like naija a southern president won't be comfortable with COAS, CDS and chief of air staff for example from the north. Leaving just chief of naval staff only to the south. Planning a coup would be easier, there is this believe that my ethic or kinsmen won't betray me. I stand to be corrected and objective reasoning please with constructive criticism. Let's reason I might be wrong.
