That quote was referring to some conscript that joined the rank and file.
The deceased is an NDA graduate, part of the officer corps, a career military man and a leader of men by training.

Your rants only portray you as someone who is poorly educated. Retreat is never strictly cowardice, and sometimes a strategic retreat is the best act of generalship an officer can muster, especially when the odds are overwhelmingly against you.

Hitler lost 300000 men, the cream of the german army because he refused to strategically retreat from Stalingrad when his Generals desperately tried to show him the pincer trap Stalin was cooking up for him around Stalingrad.

Talking about being poorly educated, do you know the meaning of ''conscripts''? When last did the Nigerian Army conscript anyone? Not since the civil war. What has your NDA crap got to do with the issue at hand? Below are more quotes from the Chief of Army staff, it contains views I have long held and can attest to.
Can you point out where he was referring to ''conscripts''? That is if your so called sound education taught you the meaning of that word.

Blaming it on the fact that most people, who joined the military in recent times, do so out of the need for employment and not passion for military service, Minimah said, “Desertion is part of warfare.
We must accept that since the era of the Cartagena wars, soldiers had deserted from battle field. In our own case, we are doing recruitment now and we are also receiving presentations from across the country, from people who want their wards to be enlisted in the army”.

Are your NDA graduates somehow exempted from those who joined the military for the sole reason of making money?

“But we need to have a thorough recruitment because mind you, there is high level of unemployment on ground; most people want jobs and if that job means joining the army fine. It is a source of employment.

This should be Boko haram's first attack on Niger state, If I am not mistaking.
Hmmm

fitzmayowa:
His cowardice you must be kidding me...Nigeria army is recruiting...please go show your bravery

If it is not cowardice tell me what it is. Even their Chief knows that.
Nigeria Army is not conscripting anyone and hasn't done so for a long time, let those who VOLUNTARILY signed up do what they signed up for.

If you continue like this, you won't see January 1, 2015.

Why not tomorrow? Why go that far?
Idiat!

fitzmayowa:
Someone just died

Is Mayowa related to you?
Many more died as a result of his cowardice.

darqly:
What are you insinuating here? Must your reasoning be clouded by tribal inanity? This is not right at all, how long can we live like this? He gave his life in the course of duty and the least we can do is appreciate him for the sacrifice. Your retort is totally inappropriate

Ask your Chief of Army Staff, he seems to share the same view with me.

''Most pple want jobs,even if it means joining the Army when the reality of military service comes he drops his rifle & runs away"

Chief of Army Staff

You will die in a miserable manner. You bloody good for nothing e.diot. Oloriburuku

Hammed Lasisi you died a long time ago.
Cry your hearts out.

Reptyle:
At least he and his ilk from every tribe in Nigeria had the courage to sign up and fight so that bloody ingrates like you can seat in comfort typing rubbish on Nairaland to impugn his sacrifice.

Trash!
He signed up for his monthly pay cheque amd nothing else. That is why his type are always running away from battle handing over weapons to boko haram

A young Nigerian army officer Lt Mayowa Areago, (pictured below ) was shot dead three days ago while retreating from a mission to fight the Boko Haram in Borno state

Mayowa retreating from the war front?
Nothing new there.
These are the same people that will re-appear from no where to claim victory when others have done the dirty job.

Absolute nonsense!

@ Kaboninc do not bother agrguing further with that pleb named Eko Ile AKA Plaindealer AKA Agbameta AKA arresa, his dishonest and evil intentions have already been laid bare for all sensble people to see.
Good night

kaboninc:
Arresa....

Have you forgotten so soon that your beloved FASHOLA DEPORTED my fellow IGBO brothers from Lagos all in a country that's OURS?

Chiwude...
You're my brother must I must correct you. If the government cannot single-handedly complete a project from start to finish, there's nothing wrong in seeking alternatives. Problem is if the alternative is in the long run, favourable to us.

For your information, the Lagos-Ibadan expressway is a PPP financed project.

Thank you for the bolded, I already provided 2 links to prove that. I pity for anybody that allows himself to be deceived by a 2-faced Yoruba twät like Arresa. See the way he was listing heaven and earth as things GEJ has done for his people and other regions just to incite Igbos, he is the same person that will swear to vote Jonathan out the next minute because he didn't perform. Why should anyone take such a deceptive person seriously?

Chiwude:
I have been reading your comments and I found it filled with insults. Must you insult Aresa before proving your point. The young man pointed out something of benefit to the South-East, rather than ask questions to know why GEJ's government is short changing our region for other unsupportive regions, you just jump out to abuse, vilify and discard the message and the messenger. For your information, it is only in the South-East that Federal project are handled with fraud and hanky-panky. Why must the 2nd Niger bridge a (Federal project connecting the South-East, South-South, South-West and North-Central) be built with a Private Public initiative. Why did'nt the Federal Government awarded the Lagos-Ibadan or the Kano-Kaduna Express way through the same process? Since it want us to believe it is short of funds. Why must it be only in the South-East that such alien idea be experimented? The same initiative reared it's ugly head during the tenure of the Ota farmer. Obasanjo contemplated the same wicked idea for the construction of the Onitsha-Owerri expressway, before sense enveloped him - a motive emanated to garner Igbo support for his failed third term project.

I asked the guy specific questions, you could have attemped answering them on his behalf instead of this your long epistle.
Who said there will be no private partnership in the Lagos - Ibadan road construction?
Looks like you are new to Yoruba deceptive tactics.

.
Besides there is an existing bridge that is always open for use to those who will not want to pay toll. Let the bridge be completed first, then the issue of tolls can be discussed properly. Remember the saying ''Yes sir no dey cause wahala''.

waternogetemeny:
Make una no upset the General in Abia.... Dont say i did not warn u...hmm!

lol see trolling

Obasanjo a Southern Yoruba man was President under PDP for 8 years.
Gooluck Jonathan a Southern Ijaw man has been President under PDP for the pasrt 5 years.

Now tell me why your APC cannot present Fashola, whom you guys worship, as their Presidential candidate? Why can't they present any other southerner for that matter?

Johnnyessence:
general ihejirika is probe by international criminal court so forget ooooo general ihejirika is failing and loosing.

Hahahaha
You are a dumb joker.

waternogetemeny:
Must he go to the market square to shout that he will contest. General Ihejirika is a man of honour and if Abia fails to put him forward then T A Orji failure will be nothing compare to wat is ahead and Alaigbo would have lost our best leg for 2019. Please let us for once get this right

I don't understand you, there are many other credible candidates running for the post and unlike Ihejirika, they have actually declared interest.
I don't know why you think any person other than Ihejirika will be worse than T.A Orji.
Can you tell me why?

Buhari lost an election and killed 800 people immediately afterwards and thousands more later.
That is all I saw

waternogetemeny:
Abia 2015 belongs to PDP and our beloved General Ihejirika

Has he shown any real interest in contesting?

arresa:
The fact that you hate people for a living doesn't mean other people do too..

Idiotic 2 faced twät, is that all you can come up with?

Igbo women are just too beautiful
No wonder FFK will not stop mastûrbating over her.

asha80:
thats is not the link my friend.

Corrected.

@ Arresa since GEJ has done all that for you and your people, why do you still hate him?
Or is it just the typical Yoruba attitude of talking from both sides of the mouth?
When you want to call him a clueless President, you claim he hasn't done anything for your people and the country as a whole, when you want to incite Igbos against him, you claim he has done heaven and earth for your people but hasn't done anything for Igbos.
2 faced twät.

I so saw this coming and I will continue to laugh at people who say APGA is dying.
It just doesn't make sense for this man to be coming from the same party that produced the failure called T.A. Orji even though they have nothing else in common.
Welcome to APGA Oti.

Anambra - Obiano (APGA)
Imo - Iheanacho (APGA)

Ex-Diamond Bank MD dumps PDP, picks APGA
guber form
A Former Managing Director of Diamond Bank Plc, Dr. Alex Oti, on Tuesday in Abuja dumped the Peoples Democratic Party and picked the All Progressives Grand Alliance nomination form for the 2015 governorship elections in Abia State. Meanwhile, APGA has rescheduled its activities for the conduct of its primaries to select its candidates for next year’s elections. Oti picked the APGA governorship nomination form after paying the N2 million for the expression of interest and the N10 million for the nomination form at the APGA national headquarters. He premised his decision to join APGA on his strong beliefs in the party’s ideology and his “determination to rescue Abia State from total collapse.” Oti said, “I have left the PDP and to me, coming to APGA is like home-coming. I like to use this opportunity to thank APGA leadership for warmly welcoming me to your office and welcoming me home. I have always said that APGA is not a political party but a religion for Nigerians, some of you will recall that when our national leader (Chukwuemeka Ojukwu) died, we did everything to make sure that he was given a befitting burial. I was the Chairman of the finance sub-committee. “I am very happy to be back home, we have a
mission to take back our state and put it back on the part of progress and industrialization. We have started that journey, we know that there are a whole lot we could do. When I look at Aba, I regret that I did not take this decision to serve my people. It is a great sacrifice for me to leave what I was doing until a few weeks ago. But it is not too late, we are here to win and we must win.” The National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh while welcoming Oti back to the party assured every aspirant on the party’s platform of a level- playing field. According to him, APGA was determined to win
more seats in next year’s general elections.

No fewer than 7000 persons will be taken off the labour market in Abia State as construction work has commenced on the site of a petro-chemical plant in the state.
The project located at Mbarakuma-Ubakala area of Umuahia on the Enugu- Port Harcourt Expressway, had last week been flagged off by Governor Theodore Orji.
According to the Chairman of the firm, Chief Etugo- Ndubuisi Ogah, 3,000 direct, and 4,000 indirect jobs would be created when the $6 million plant finally comes on board. In an interview with The PUNCH on Monday in
Umuahia, Ogah said that part of the fund for the gigantic project had been acquired through the Bank of Industry under the Automobile fund scheme.
He also said that already, an Indian technical partner, the Onella Group, had arrived the country to help in realising the project expected to be delivered in 36 months time.
According to him, other products apart from petro- chemicals to be produced in the plant include: motorcycle and tricycle tyres, tubes, motor batteries, detergents among others.
He said the state government had already provided land as part of its contribution to the actualization of the project, assuring that the project would be delivered on schedule.
Ogah hinted that arrangements had also been concluded to locate a 5000 KVA power plant on the premises of the firm for constant power supply, adding that when the entire project is finally realised, Abia State will consolidate its position as the industrial commercial hub of the South East geopolitical zone.
