Nigerian Army Generals Now Stealing Weapons And Selling To Terrorists – Report by Abel7777: 6:30am On Oct 22, 2021
The Nigerian Army has been described as a useless organisation filled with corrupt generals and unable to protect the country from mutating violence, The Economist reported in its latest issue.

“Nigeria’s army is mighty on paper,” the London magazine said. “But many of its soldiers are “ghosts” who exist only on the payroll, and much of its equipment is stolen and sold to insurgents.”

The Economist said Nigeria has not been able to address its insecurity because military chiefs have plundered much of the country’s combat resources and the rest had stretched thin with little capacity to forestall the crisis.

“The army is also stretched thin, having been deployed to all of Nigeria’s state,” the paper said in its upcoming October 23 issued that was published on its website today.

The paper also said Nigeria police has become demoralised due to poor training and endemic corruption.

“The police are understaffed, demoralised and poorly trained. Many supplement their low pay by robbing the public they have sworn to protect,” it said.

A spokesman for the Nigerian Army did not immediately return requests seeking comments. Nigerian military chiefs have for years faced allegations of corruption and collusion with violent criminals as a way of keeping themselves enriched.

A large cache of military weapons had ended in the hands of insurgents since 2016. In July 2019, Nigerian soldiers fled with hundreds of millions of Nigeria they were asked to transport to Abuja by an army general.

The money loot was immediately traced to Hakeem Otiki, a major-general who was subsequently dismissed from service after a military trial. Anti-corruption activists said the Nigerian Army took action because the soldiers fled with the loot and the scandal became public.

PDP is working overtime to get back to aso rock through sponsoring bullshit articles.


A dead party will remain dead until the leaders and followers aquire common sense.


Since PDP become opposition, not a single sensible statement from them, always paying hungry news blogs to spread fake news.

My worry is, can the President control the army Chiefs?
Seems they do whatever they like but act as if they are loyal to the government.

Calm down dude, what exactly is the difference between PDP and APC? Has the country gotten better under APC than it was under PDP? Who were the members of PDP then and who are the members of APC now? If you can't answer this questions honestly then you really are pathetic, being paid little stipend just to lie about glaring situations while those who pay you swim in millions and billions is just shameful.

The President knows what he's doing; our current security apparatus is the result of constant coup-proofing (they put in individuals who stands to gain a lot by not engaging in anti-government activities thus you have idiots and kleptomaniacs in positions they'd never get to in their entire careers or lives) thus the Northernisation of the security services, financial and petroleum sectors.

sir this is not issue of political party, this practice is not good for our nation. Don't destroy the country because your religious person is in power.

The herdsmen kidnapping and killing people here in kaduna don't select Muslim or Christian, APC or PDP.

Some of the guns they carry can only be from high ranking Army officers. They use what we called gammu( piece of cloths) to put on their head to carry one of the Gun. Some of the guns are carri d by two people on their heads.

If you love the country speak out against evil and I justice.

So, because I want to speak out, I should believe anything from any blogger?


I did not spend 5 years in University just so I can believe any thrash without proof.

The definition of fool is someone who believes anything because he hates the government.


What proof did they provide you before you believe this?


It's your sentiments and hatred that is running your brain for you, common sense is eternally dead in your myopic and compressed head.
