First of, other than boko haram, most of those other security challenges he mentioned are not even within the jurisdiction of the army, they're police duties, but then, nigeria is a peculiar country.

Next, except in a full scale war situation, I think it's inappropriate to ship off newly graduated baby soldiers to go face off already experienced bht.

For maximum effectiveness, new recruits should serve in lesser roles for some time to build up experience before shipping them off to the harder nuts. If not, we'll just keep recruiting and sending them off to bht for dinner.

How many of the recruits are southerners and northerners?

prince4pro2:
When r they recruiting graduates?

u wan go die 4 nothin?

I’m 100 percent sure 1000 repentants boko haram are among the 5800.

seunayantokun:
Who are the new recruits?

They are mostly Fulanis recruited using Buhari's new formula of using LGA, knowing that Kano alone was allocated more LGAs than the whole SE.

Hope they have not recruited more ex bokoharam soldiers?




Na there handiwork be that oh

Rubbish Native West African frontier force

No mention me if you no know history. Thank you.

Yeah. Recruited by them and for them.

There is enough Cassava, yam, Abgedu etc to go around.

Very correct.

That's what metamorphosed into the present day Nigerian army.

It was the members of the WA frontier force which was made up of mainly 7 Hausa/Fulani that was used by the british to attack and conquer Lagos.

As well as the Ekumekwu wars against the Anioma of Delta State.

That is why Northerners consider the Army as their personal fiefdom. These things have roots in history that the average southerners refuse to understand.

Nonsense

Judolisco:
Army that you'll send to fight Boko Haram ..only to release d same Boko Haram members arrested that they've repented .....I understand that majority of Northerners share the same view with Boko Haram members as seen when Deborah was killed in sokoto d chief imam of Abuja was even talking about redline or something...but at least negotiate a cease fire before releasing terrorist back into d society...I pity people wey dey join army sha

Exactly..i am even surprised that people are still signing up to army..

Agsh

Hahahhahahaha

It's great to extend active labour force. Also, the equipment and machinery should not be excluded because that's what we need most.

If there is Job in CBN, NDIC, NNPC, DSS etc , the applicant must have 20years of working experience when it comes to die , they the send new recruit

Woah....

So those Hausa seven were part of the British contingents that fought the Ekumeku war? Never knew this. This information has created a new mindset in me. I'm from Delta, Ika precisely, grew up in Igbuzo and Asaba, presently living in Abuja.

Ekumeku has been a part of my history and reality, there's a round about here in Asaba called Ekumeku roundabout, it used have a sculpture of my people fighting and subduing some europeans, after a while, the government took it down under the pretext that it was scaring white investors from coming to the state. Although the sculpture has been redone albeit without the Europeans in the previous one.

The Hausa Fulani have always been our problem, can't wait for the day we'll finally and completely be free from them. Southerners need a lot of history classes man.

Another sheeps to the slaughter...!!

Idiot. He is a misfit because he is not your tribesman.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
See the misfits heading our security agencies. And you wonder why the country is in a mess.

They should also focus on cutting edge technology. They should sit and watch Ukraine Russian war, that’s how future wars will be fought. Not gathering some abokiis and giving them AK47 and you think you have an Army.

lEndMoj:
We need 50 million youths to join army

They will be fed with cassava, Àgbado'

And our security problem is over

That Old man is seriously blank upstairs
I pity APC cos this will be the beginning of their downfall.

You mean over 5000 sheep headed for slaughter ani

The WAFF was stationed in Lokoja. When the Agbor and Issele-Uku soundly beat the British in 2 separate battles as well as beheading two British commanders, Crowe and Chapman....

They leveled whole communities in an act of revenge. I have strong reason to believe that the British still hates Southern Nigeria to this day.

Hdgdg

Tinubu govt will checkmate the errors in military settings, he did it in Lagos, he will do it in Nigeria



all those Ipob doing like mad men will respect themselves

Is this our problem? And you give them what weapons? Bastards! Nigerian armed forces is a mockery of itself when compared to other nations. I just dey laugh

Na lack of jobs make those young boys join the army.
Let the politicians bring each of their children and enlist them into the army recruitment.

How can they just post new recruits to war front. Tgey should allow them more training other than their recruitment training.
