Politics › Soldiers And Brutality by Chidexter(op):
Hey, Come here! Oya, Do 30 push up.
Fast! Fast!.
Idiot!, Get up and do frog jump from here to that sign board and back.


Have you been a victim of Soldier brutality/punishment.
If Yes, i bet it would easily make your top 3 most memorable/embarassing/regretable life experience/(ok thats enough)....


As someone who spent 16 yrs of my life in the barracks, i can categorically say that its not something i wish even my enemy to experience.

There's been widely reported cases of some soldiers beating civillians(mostly innocent) or asking some of them to roll on the floor, crawl e.t.c.

Personally, i've witnessed individuals who have been tortured or made to serve countless punishments for disobeying a simple command or probably doing nothing at all.

A typical Nigerian Soldier while in the course of joining the Army, has been put through rigorous excercises, from sitting on their heads(i wonder what benefit it has) to crawling long distances, running for miles, as well as crossing obstacles and much more.
They've been trained to be ruthless when needed and compassionate to those in need(yet many oppose this), If a Soldier, say a Lance corporal disobeys a command by an immediate senior he could be made to serve punishments for it, ranging from extra duties(where he'll be at work all night) to cutting of large portions of grasses.

Now, that mentality of disobedience leading to punishment has sadly been stamped on their brains. Some of them no longer see civilians as people they should protect but rather Potential Punishment Candidates(PPC).

A Civillian that knows almost nothing about obeying a command immediately its been ordered is sadly punished brutally.....
Take for instance, You pass by an Army check point or barracks, If while passing You throw a piece of paper, or nylon you're holding(its bad i know but doesnt warrant the punishment you'll get) if you're caught! My brother just start praying the barracks doesnt have tall grasses or large amounts of refuse because you might be given a cutlass to cut grasses as tall as a truck ( exaggeration cheesy ). Or you would be asked to pick all the refuse in an area of land fit for 6 other people as well..... And thats just being minimal.


Nigerian soldiers have a common code, which they sadly expect civilians to know,.

That code is: Obey Before Complain.

The earlier you learn this, the better for you.
Fine, You're ordered to roll the whole street of sagamu, or frog jump for 3kms. Please just do it, dont plead, shout, or waste time, in most cases thats a fruitless attempt. Infact it could increase your punishment both in terms of brutality and longevity.

Thats the way they've been trained, If you're in the presence of a soldier it doesnt mean you should be afraid or run away like a criminal, NO. It simply means that you should be at alert, act cautiosly, act normal infact act like one who's disciplined.

Fine, its true that some soldiers just choose to punish people for no just reason, which is very bad. Such a soldier could have punished by a superior and is just transferring agression to you. (some are naturally wicked sha).

My father who was a Soldier(sadly he passed away six years ago) once saved a thief who was 10seconds to getting burn alive, He just had to use the authority as a soldier to calm the angry mobs and handed the criminal to the police.
I'm not saying my Dad is the holiest of all but he certainly wasnt a wicked man.
There are numerous soldiers who could have done the same that day, and there are countless others who would have added salt to the fresh wound.

Finally, some Soldiers punish victims because it gives them that feeling of being god-like and being in control.
Ask them to pick up arms and fight against terrorist and they'd suddenly become meek and humble, some would even run away.
While some soldiers would use their authority for the greater good of the nation, in other for peace to reign.
Its a pity almost nothing can be done to stop some evil minded soldiers,but try as much as possible to act normal, dress well( if you sag pass a group of soldiers there's an 80 percent chance you'd be scolded or punished than someone who dresses normal.

Dont put on military attires like caps, bands, boots, trousers e.t.c. Because if some of them sees you, they'd be like, so me wey go suffer 6months for Depot before i fit wear khaki na im dis bloodly civillian they take do guy now?, hmmm him must suffer for my hand today.


God bless the Nigerian Army
God bless Nigeria

Politics › Re: Things That Makes "Newcomers" Hate Lagos. by Chidexter(m): 3:35pm On Aug 05, 2015
Hate it or Like it, it doesnt change the fact its the commercial hub of Nigeria.(In your face)

Funny enough 80percent saying they hate Lagos are currently living there(Factimatician)
The good part is that, Lagos is currently undergoing changes, to make it a safer, neater place. (Slow and Stead wins the race)

Pls Note i'm not a yoruba guy, i just happened to spend 18yrs of my life in Lagos state.(Truth)
Back to my hometown now.

If i hadnt read you post and just stuck with the headlines i'd have thought Nigeria has placed a ban on it. It should be will you, not do you. Abeg make i leave dat one.
Now to your question.


I'll accept it, but then it wont sit well with the muslims esp. The most religious ones.
There has to be some sort of balance
Romance › Re: Should I Choose Lust Over God? by Chidexter(m): 3:25pm On Aug 05, 2015
We both sort of experienced the same thing, am also seeking to gain admission.

You say you feel like you're lusting after her, and kind of afraid not to commit a sin by sleeping with her right?.

What if i tell you that there's more to having a girlfriend than s*x.
You can just become friends with her, and dont let it degenerate to intimacy, except she's different from you.

Collinsemegreat:
Good day brethrens... I have an issue at hand i hope for highly mature advice. It has been over 5-4 months ago, a girl who stays in my neighbourhood- 5 feets from where i stay. I can't say it was love i felt the first time i saw her, because she was cute, i also observed am also attracted to her. But in my principle i am against having a g.f, i had a friendshp with a girl my uncle introduced me to(when i was in sec. School-2013 ), but i stop the friendshp wit no good reason.-bt i neva had any intimacy with her so not a relationshp. Back to this present fellow i believe it's not love am feeling toward her but lust!... It was yesterday i was coming out when she sited me and was walking towards my direction- i was shocked( am an introvert), i had to ignore her but she just stood they probably waiting for me to talk to her,- behaving blushed. I had to leave they immediately and she was looking at me... But the thing is that i am still young waiting for admission this yr. By God's grace... But God lead me to james 1:14-16. And i believe the walk of the enemy is to use immorality against the present youth... But i need the opinnion of high spirited individuals God bless!!!
