bidexiii: PRESS RELEASE
RE:OWN PERSONNEL ON DUTY AT THE NDA CCTV MONITORING ROOM WERE SLEEPING
The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) have been drawn to a news publication by Cable online news media claiming that personnel on duty at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) CCTV monitoring room were sleeping when bandits attacked the officers' residential quarters leading to the death of two officers and the abduction of 1 other officer.
The Nigerian Armed Forces wishes to state categorically that the allegation is untrue and hence challenge the Cable Online to publish forthwith a verifiable proof of personnel sleeping during the incident.
It is therefore imperative to caution the Cable Online media to guide against being used as a propaganda tool by enemies of our dear country. The Cable Online should not consciously or unconsciously collaborate with these unscrupulous elements to spread unverified stories on the unfortunate event that occurred at NDA Kaduna while tarnishing the good image and reputation of personnel of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) in the eyes of the civil populace.
It is perhaps important to mention that the AFN as a professional force consist of highly trained personnel who are dedicated to their duties of protecting lives and property of all Nigerians.
Let me use this opportunity, to reiterate that the NDA authorities, acting on the directive of the Chief of Defence Staff has constituted a board of enquiry to ascertain the remote and immediate cause(s) of the breach of security with a view to sanction any personnel found culpable and also prevent future occurrence.
Let me also assure that we shall continue to update the general public as events unfold as we are all aware the search and rescue of the abducted officer is still on. Troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria will continue with it's operations to ensure all those involved in the dastardly act are brought to justice.
You are kindly requested to disseminate this vital information to the public.
Thank you for your unwavering support to the Armed Forces.
BENJAMIN OLUFEMI SAWYERR Major General Director Defence Information I hope and pray the defense headquarters can see this post. Stop coming on Media platforms to say things like this and just go do your fucking job. Useless |

Whyem15: Ordinarily, I wouldn't have replied you because your motive was to insult but there are things to learn from the post.
The post was totally about personalities as it is very apparent, I made no mention of strategy and plans so I do not know why you are attacking me. If you are not comfortable with some post, try to ignore once in a while, especially mine.
Meanwhile, personalities of leaders and officers also has a lot of effect on the outcome of battles and wars. Especially in relations to boosting the morale of troops which increases the effectiveness of any fighting force. The high morale of troops was very palpable during the time of late Attahiru as COAS with many soldiers hailing him as a warrior and one who empathize with Frontline troops and who is willing to end the war unlike many of his predecessors who soldiers thought were profiting from the insurgency. This resulted into victories such as recapturing marte and environs within 48hrs.
Not too long ago, we saw videos of troops abandoning their positions and fleeing with civilians because they weren't ready to die for what they feel is as a result of some people's selfish interests. Some even went as far as attacking their officers.
Charisma is when you do almost the same thing as your predecessors yet the troops are willing to take your excuses and endure your failures while they took it against your predecessors. Optics play an important role in winning battles when the troops feel you are also willing to lay down your own life for the same purpose as them and you understand what they are going through and willing to improve things. More importantly, personality play an important role when the troops believe you are one of theirs and you are trying all your best in pursuit of their interests.
The president not attending the burial of his chief of army staff has also made many soldiers believe he doesn't care whether they live or die, that is also optics.
In summary, there is what is called Psychological warfare that deals with the mental emotional and behavioral characteristics of troops, enemies and people at large and it is aimed at manipulating the behaviors and attitudes of those targeted in a way that will be favorable to the originators objectives. Personality and optics play very important roles in this. My brother you get brain, God bless you |

Whyem15: I just miss S.B Abubakar anyhow these days. These new CAS isn't awe inspiring at all. In fact none of the new service chiefs are. Ibrahim Attahiru of blessed memory was also awesome, especially with that order to recapture Marte and clear the general area within 48hrs. L.E.O Irabor is definitely the right man for his job, far better than Abayomi Olonisakin but still not as charismatic as S.B Abubakar. I really miss that man  I miss him too |
