This is a good one . Let the old , compromised generals that have fed fat on the insurgency go and let new, fresh bloods get promoted . I am sure this is the move of Nuhu Ribadu . Let the ones ready to impress and prove themselves step in .

There was a release that there was great pressure on Tinubu not to make Ribadu the NSA . Seems the generals were trying to continue business as usual .


The newly promoted will also be compromised so long as money will be involved
My brother corruption in this country can not be controlled or eliminated.

I understand your point but It is better to try new hands and put in anti corruption measures than to try to change old, corrupt ones .

Besides corruption CAN never be eliminated . It can only be reduced when there are severe penalties . Even China with capital punishment for corruption still has corruption cases

Mr Oga, we are in 21th century. It's in the book of armed forces that once new service chiefs are appointed his seniors will be retired.
Why did you think Major General Shehu Yar'adua and the likes of TY Danjuma retired when Obasanjo handed over to a civilian?? Bros, na normal thing na why the Generals no complain. The happy ones are the Major Generals why the Bri-Gen who were expecting promtion won't be happy due to early retirement.

Retiring so many top ranking military officers is not good for our armed forces,one of the reason for the setback the Soviets faced during WW2 was because of the purges done by stalin in the red army

Journalism has really gone to the dogs!

The level of poorly constructed English that the Editor of this newspaper allowed to get published for public reading is horrendous! This is how young students (even adults) fail their final year exams because they read the wrong spelling errors in the daily newspapers.

Majors-General, Brigadiers-General, and Lieutenants-General are the CORRECT SPELLINGS and designations of those military ranks, NOT the trash the Editor allowed to get published here.

I'm surprised that non of the readers of this NL thread pointed the spelling errors in the published military ranks out.

Train, pay, keep and retire men and women in the armed forces of Nigeria to keep the most dysfunctional country on earth favoring only the colonial masters and Arewa region of Nigeria, to remain one, despite the obvious inadequacies of one Nigeria; that's what the Nigeria armed forces are for.

mention top military's that retire their top generals almost every year or 2

That's the problem....MUST dey be a General before they can head whatever positions

Must we promote them because they want to fill vacant positions...or we promote them to the next rank because they are due for promotion

If the report of Nigeria Military having to retire about 100 generals is true...then, maybe the rank "General" is overrated and should be checked.

WITH THE LEVEL OF INSECURITIES AND THE WAY BANDITS AND KIDNAPPERS HAVE BEEN KILLING PEOPLE, ABSOLUTELY NO MILITARY PERSSONEL DESERVE ANY PROMOTION. . ESPECIALLY THE CORRUPT AND USELESS GENERALS.
INSTEAD, THEY DESERVE TO BE SACKED OR RETIRED.

I asked you to mention any serious nation retiring so many top ranking officers at once, most countries already have idea of who will be the next service after those in office,while here we appoint for personal and political reasons
Re: Military Pencils Down Over 50 Names For Promotion As Generals Bow Out Today by crossbreedwears(m): 12:53pm On Jul 04, 2023
Must we copy from another senior nation? Can't we create out own law? Their is going to be promotion to fill up the retired generals and also we still have many generals even with the retirement case. You're not in the military which is why you don't understand my point.

Let me give you a story that happened in Owode. There is a particular Engineers unit which the commander is a brigadier General while the GOC is his junior in terms of years of service and because the GOC has appoint and rank over him, they do have issues all the time. When the immediate past COAS visited the unit for a projdct, Omo GOC washed the brigadier General in front of COAS despite the GOC being his junior oh. To cut the story short, he has been retired because he of the policy, codes and conduct of the armed forces. These laws favours some while others suffers. In fact, the brigadier general is couse mate to immediate past COAS. If an officer has gotten to the rank of Brigadier General or Major General, he or she should know retirement can come up anytime.

Another scenario....The immediate past Commander of Nigeria Defense Academy is course mate to Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, the monent Yahaya was retired by the President, every other of his course mate will retire too which affect him too depsite 33 years in service.

I can go on to give you more stories.
