Politics › Re: Meet The Simultaneous Lt-Gen. Holders In The History Of The Nigerian Army by donrolex(m): 9:04pm On Nov 06, 2025 |
Iceking1: My question Is why do so many Generals go on compulsory retirement whenever a new chief of Army staff Is appointed. I have noticed that there are always a lot of Major Generals in the army. In which there are always no lieutenant Generals, except promoted to chief of army staff.
Also, from my years of observations, all the selected chief of army staff are always major generals before being promoted to Lieutenant Generals, when picked as chief of army staff.
What's confusing me right now and what I still can't get my head around Is why do other generals go on compulsory retirement Even when the newly chief of army staff Is being promoted to a lieutenant General, which Is superior than a major general.
Because from what I have observed, the generals that always goes on compulsory retirement are always major generals, can someone please enlighten me on this? The Generals have to go because they can't salute or take orders from their course mate, who is now a luitenant general, so all of them have to retire to maintain the military code of conduct |

hunee: Not enough to say thank you and you go off.
It is clearly stated that you can't extend on your visa.
So what's up? Was it a back end stuff you did? We need clarity.
Tell us what we need to know Or a hint incase someone else has similar issues. No boss, I didn't do any backend stuff, I wouldn't endanger myself and my future chances ....everything was done at the department of home affairs, via VFS Documents submitted are Previous visa(if any) Existing visa Passport data page Entry stamp into SA Bank statement Return ticket Letter stating your reason for extension Visa fee is 425 rands VFS charge is 1550rands |
