drstranged: Nigeria has NEVER had a 5 star general (field marshal)!. Even military heads of state like Abacha and IBB never held that honour. So who then is a civilian president to hold the title of Field Marshal? In fact, in the US, only 1 person has ever been a field marshal (Douglas macarthur).
By the book just as a title, a president is a five star general who is above all the military ranks. I have seen olusegun obasanjo in a field marshall uniform, Jonathan in a field marshall uniform and even buhari in a field marshall uniform as the president. I am talking about the president here not the military hierarchy per say or are you saying a president will hold a four star general rank and would still lord over a four star chief defense staff general...?!!! No military officer has attain the rank of a five star general in Nigeria.
drstranged: A brigadier general is a one star general, a major general is a two star general, a lieutenant general is a 3 star general, a general is a 4 star (e.g president and commander in chief), and a field marshal is a 5 star general.
A four star general is the chief f defense staff CDS. 5 star general is the president/commander in chief f armed forces...
bluebay: A whole brigadia General a 3 star General can't be easily captured like that unless he was sold out to the terrorist but never, this is a big slap to the Nigeria Millitary. If I may ask, what's a 3 star general doing in war front ?
He's a 1 star general however officers in the infantry and armoury will be leading the front till they retire...
pdppower: There's a private school in Ikorodu side where the proprietor always frowns whenever teachers want to go home after school closes by 5pm. If he wants to call a meeting, the meeting won't start until after 5pm and will last nothing less than 2 hours.
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?
U can't take orders from your mate or junior so therefore all the senior officers must go on compulsory retirement.
Marvieduke: In the heat of Regina Daniels marriage crisis, she shared a post of her father and mother reuniting in Abuja over the arrest of their son who is in police custody, but the intriguing thing about the post is the romantic and cozy pose the both parent posed is what has got the internet wondering.
Somm300: Patronize at your own risk.Still haven’t gotten my 20,000 naira I paid in December 2019. This guy came to respond in August 2021 that they have my materials. Isn’t that ridiculous? A course I’ve written and passed. I have the materials already, what I need is my money.

Goldrosewine: So my friend came around and I just wanted to show her around the yard and our very small veggie garden. Saw this thing on the ground, near perfect camouflage but the slittering movements gave it away.
You need to see the way my friend jumped and screamed.🤦 But all these Nairaland snake killers have been giving me morals lately😋 removed one of the boots (my dad always emphasized on wearing rubber boots when going into our garden) and smashed it with it.
Dada came running out but I had already finished the job. My kid sister tryna downplay my achievement said it's too tiny🤣 But Dada just kept on blushing and said I did a good job cux no snake is too tiny. We burned the demon🔥🔥🫢
Last picture is me, pretty face but I am now a certified snake killer🤣 I dedicate this achievement to falseprophet1

kolarov93: We have some nairalander here that have shared testimony getting federal jobs without knowing any godfather, and it won't stop.
Because, it doesn't go well when you made attempt doesn't mean others are not getting it without knowing anyone
Bring out the names of the nairaland who got the jobs by merit in this present days. You cannot lay claim to people who got job in 2010 when merit were flowing to now where things are lopsided. Let's hope to have Ur list of merited candidates after the conclusion of this recruitment....
Etiyin: Please don’t discourage anyone. I got the NNDC foreign postgraduate scholarship without knowing anyone. The system might be corrupt, but there are definitely a few who still get it on merit. I used to think everything was based on connections, but I took a bold step and applied for the scholarship and the rest is history. If I hadn’t made that move, I would probably still be a teacher earning ₦27,000 a month and blaming the government for everything. To anyone who has been shortlisted for the test, give it your best because the universe always has a way of favouring those who put in their best effort.
You applied for a scholarship, this is a different issue at hand entirely. You cannot compare scholarship with job recruitment. While I am not discouraging anyone, I am just saying the obvious facts. Government job recruitment has taken another dimension entirely to whatever you think sir.....
