Army Commander Writes A Powerful Letter To President Jonathan



A commanding officer stationed northeast Nigeria gives a detailed account in a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, on several troubling issues plaguing troops combating the Islamist terror group Boko Haram in the region.

The officer stated that, corruption, maladministration, lack of resources and troops motivation has militated against a successful campaign to end Boko Haram’s deadly reign of terror in the northeast.

The officer’s lengthy complaint which he claims would lead to a threat to his life forewarns that if his pleas continue to be ignored by the country’s leadership that both the Nigerian Army and the country will crumble under the insurgency.


“If all issues raised in this letter are not urgently addressed, the Nigerian Army will soon be history and by implication there will be no country called Nigeria,” the officer gravely states. “No country without a strong army will survive.”

Below is the full text of the officer’s letter addressed to President Goodluck Jonathan


PLEASE MR PRESIDENT SAVE THE MILITARY AND NIGERIA FROM COLLAPSING

1. Sir, I am constrain to write you this letter which I consider it a matter of more than great importance for me to inform you and put to record issues that are happening in the North East (Operation Zaman Lafiya). I choose this medium to write you this open letter because I have written similar letter but no action was taking which I believe some forces have blocked it are now after my life. Sir I have served in 7 Division as staff officer and presently I am the commanding officer of 103Bn in the field. My combined wealth of experience as a staff officer and now commanding officer are the disturbing fact that necessitated me to write you this letter. While as a staff officer, I was among those who believed that the commanders in the field are not doing well. But presently, as a commander in the field, I found out that it is not the fault of any commander that the defeat of the so called BOKO HARAM (BH) has not been achieved.

2. First and foremost sir, the Nigerian Army is poorly equipped in the North East, if all the battalions are well-equipped as required; it will not take the Army more than two weeks to flush out the BH. Presently there are four units in my location here in KONDUGA including 21 Armoured Brigade HQ. If all the units are provided with all their requirements, we can advance and flush out BH out of North East. Mr. President sir, the Nigerian Army is well-trained and capable of defending our nation. It has demonstrated the capacity to even successfully enforce peace in other nations. Why not in our own country Nigeria?

3. The fact about NE operation is that we are poorly equipped, understaffed, high corruption from Army Headquarters down to battalion level. Commanders see it as opportunity to make money. My predecessor has complained of the same problem. Instead of ASA addressing the issue raised by him, the army authorities decided to Court Martialled him. All the units in NE are understaffed, but on payroll their strength are complete just to collect more allowances than what each unit is supposed to. The commanders see it as a personal money making venture rather than taking care of men and equipment. This ugly trend led to loss of many officers and soldiers and thereby having adverse effect on the moral (sic) of troops. Majority of soldiers in the operation area wear mufti (civil cloths) under their military uniforms in case there is an attack and the troops cannot withstand the BH, they found it easy to disguise as civilians to enable them escape. This is not the traditional practice in the NA. Though it is lack of adequate equipment and poor administration from the higher authority that resulted to this ugly trend by our troops

4. Sir, another bad and unprofessional act is that soldiers don’t take to orders from their superior officers because they have lost confidence/trust from them. The case of former General Officer Commanding 7 Division Major General A. Mohammed is enough evidence to show that all is not well in the Nigerian Army. It will interest you to note that worse cases has been recorded before that of the former GOC and more are still happening, but nobody is ready to investigate the root cause of problems facing the troops in the field.

5. This brings me to a recent occurrence which is my main purpose of writing this letter. As I mentioned earlier, due to the failure of the authority to address issues that I made mentioned, when a unit is attacked and overran by the BH not because the soldiers are unable to fight, but lack of weapons, ammunitions and communications equipment, the soldiers on many occasions will ran away, and a commander cannot stand and fight alone as a result of this. Presently seventy percent of commanders in the NE are facing Court Martial due to the reasons mentioned. We the commanding officers are very worried over this development. This is because we many soon find our self as victims of this maladministration from our higher authorities.

6. There is no sincerity in this operation; this is because the present acting GOC has never visited any location outside Maiduguri town not to talk of principal staff officers in Army Headquarters or even the COAS. But we keep on hearing all sorts of lies that Generals are leading the fight against BH. These are facts that can be confirmed from officers and soldiers in this operation including those in the 7 Division Headquarters. The GOC is so afraid that even with the Divisional Headquarters; he doesn’t go out and always locked himself inside his office. Infact it is a common knowledge among officers and soldiers in this operation that the acting GOC is here to make his money and earn his promotion to the detriment of the operation. The completion of his mansion at No 8 Gwamna Road in Kaduna which the GOC ignorantly disclosed that when he completed it, will be among the best houses in Kaduna, has turned to be a subject of discussion among troops.

7. The former 21 Armored Brigade commander is facing Court Martial today because the acting GOC does not want to see him and his garrision in Maiduguri town simply because of the huge monthly allocations from the Borno State government to the brigade garrision. He wanted to be collecting his money by using 7 Div Garrison, but in reality 7 Div Garrision does not have troops to claim such money. It is worthy to note that the GOC received 33,000litres of AGO and PMS each, 600 bags of rice monthly from Borno State government. All these items are diverted for his personal use.

8. Recently the newly appointed 21 Brigade commander lead 3 units to flush out the BH, that operation was successful, almost 300 BH were killed, weapons and vehicles were recovered from them, in the process the troops exhausted their ammunitions from the Div, the GOC simply replied that there was no ammunition this made all the troops to withdraw back to KONDUGA.

9. Presently more than 3000 officers and soldiers are either killed in action, deserted, captured as POW or on AWOL. But due to lack of proper administration the army directed that their salary should be stopped. This affect the families of those that are either genuinely killed in action or captured as Prisoners of War. It has also affected some of the troops that are still participating in this operation.

10. Mr. President sir, if all issues raised in this letter are not urgently address, the Nigerian Army will soon be history and by implication there will be no country called Nigeria. No country without strong army will survive. I decided to write you this letter because the life of officers and soldiers trusted in my care are no longer save. My life is also at the stake because the NA authority as usual will say I have communicated directly to you as the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and may sanction me. As a citizen of this country and a commander in the operational area, with all the points I have mentioned in this letter, it is clearly that the Military authorities have failed the country, as such they should be held liable for their misdeeds. I have consulted seasonal constitutional lawyers if writing you this letter will be an offence, but they said it is my constitutional right to inform the C in C about what is happening in the NE and within the military which if not address will affect the survival of Nigeria.

Abuja people no dey here to give abuja resident list of good mechanics. Please I am in need of one.

The pix is clear and good

After much anticipation from the public, former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s autobiography is out according to Sahara reporters.
President Jonathan honours Obsanjo at Nigeria's centenary celebration
President Jonathan honours Obsanjo at Nigeria’s centenary celebration
The book named “My Watch” chronicles the life of Chief Obasanjo from birth till this year. In the book, Obasanjo devoted significant pages to President Goodluck Jonathan actions and in-actions as Nigeria’s president, where he took the current Nigerian leader to the cleaners, calling him several names like selfish, weak-willed, callous and incapable, accusing the president of failing to rise to the challenges of running a complex country like Nigeria. Obasanjo also accused Jonathan of surrounding himself with aides and political associates with corrupt tendencies.

He opined that the President has destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and left Nigeria in dire conditions.
Obasanjo also highlighted on the several policy somersaults of Jonathan’s administration as well as the president’s actions that he claimed has stunted the country’s progress.
Mr. Obasanjo’s book also took a swipe at Jonathan’s former boss and predecessor, Late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, former Governor James Ibori of Delta State and scion of the Saraki family, Senator Bukola Saraki, and his other political foes.

It will be recalled that a chieftain of the PDP in Obasanjo’s home-state of Ogun, Prince Buruji Kashamu recently went to court to stop the former president from publishing the autobiography.

Thanks

Ikenna351:
From your post, your mind is telling you the truth, only that you dont want to accept it.

First, that Lion is not 2000 model. Its D8 (phase 1 406). The production stopped in 1998. He said the engine is turbo charged, can we see the engine bay picture? In fact, can you get the VIN of the car?

Better still, steer clear of that vehicle.

Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon
A former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.), has taken a swipe at the United States on its refusal to sell arms to Nigeria to fight the insurgency by the Islamic group, Boko Haram.
Gowon, in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, criticised the US for not selling military hardware to Nigeria, saying if the US was truly a diplomatic friend to Nigeria, it should do everything possible to keep the corporate existence of Nigeria.
This, according to him, includes assisting Nigeria to fight aggression from any quarter.
The US had on November 12, 2014, defended its refusal to sell cobra helicopters to Nigeria, saying the Federal Government was free to buy fighter jets from any other country.
The State Department’s spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said, “Nigeria has purchased helicopters that originated in countries other than the US and nothing in our decision prevents Nigeria from obtaining weapons and equipment from other sources,”
Psaki had reacted to the allegation by the Nigerian Ambassador to the US, Prof. Adebowale Adefuye, that Washington declined to sell arms to Nigeria.
Adefuye had told members of the Council on Foreign Relations on November 10 that Washington was not doing enough to assist Nigeria in combating the Boko Haram insurgency in North-East geopolitical zone of the country.
He said, “The U.S. government has up till today refused to grant Nigeria’s request to purchase lethal equipment that would have brought down the terrorists within a short time on the basis of the allegations that Nigeria’s defence forces have been violating human rights of Boko Haram suspects when captured or arrested.
“We find it difficult to understand how and why, in spite of the U.S. presence in Nigeria, with their sophisticated military technology, Boko Haram should be expanding and becoming more deadly.”
But Psaki had stated that the US refused to sell the helicopters to Nigeria due to concerns about the ability of the military to use and maintain them.
The cobra is a combat aircraft with the ability to climb at the rate of 8.2metres per second. It is equipped with a 20 mm M197 3-barrelled Gatling cannon in the A/A49E-7 turret (750 rounds ammo capacity).
The spokeswoman also said there were ongoing concerns about Nigerian military’s protection of civilians when conducting military operations, adding that these had been discussed with the Nigerian authorities.
Gowon, while speaking to one of our correspondents, however, alleged that the US did same to the Nigerian government during the Civil War, when it refused to sell fighter jets to Nigeria to stop Biafra’s bomber jets.
As the military Head of State, Gowon had prosecuted the Nigerian civil war, aka Biafran War, which began on July 6, 1967 and ended on January 15, 1970.
The war was declared after an attempted secession by the Eastern Region of the country, which declared itself the ‘Republic of Biafra.’
Gowon said, “The same thing happened during the Civil War. The Americas refused to sell arms to us. I wanted them to help me with some modest aircraft so that I could chase out Ojukwu’s (Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu) B52 or B56 as they called it. That was all I wanted; not to shoot it down but to chase it away so that it does not drop bombs and kill innocent people.
“But the Americans refused to help us and they even refused to sell arms and ammunitions and the spare parts of the equipment that we got from them. And at the same time, they (America) were shipping aircraft and loads of arms and ammunition to Zaire. What sort of friends are they?
“You call them your friends and they say that they are helping us to fight terror. We don’t want their people (Americans) to come and fight the war (against Boko Haram) for us but, at least, we need the equipment.
“During my time (as Head of State), I had to go to the Russians to get the equipment we wanted in order to prosecute that war. If they cannot help us, they should allow us to go elsewhere and get what we want to ensure that we deal with this particular problem.”
A former Military Governor of Kaduna State, Col. Abubakar Umar (retd.), corroborated Gowon, while decrying that Western allies, who were paying much attention to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in the Middle East, “have decided to turn a blind eye to what is happening in Nigeria.”
He pointed out that Boko Haram is to Nigeria what ISIS is to the Middle East, saying they both threaten global peace and security.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also backed Adefuye’s position on arms purchase from the US.
The Director, Public Communication Division, Foreign Affairs, Mr. Ahmedu Ogbole-Ode, said the Nigerian ambassador had said it all on the relationship between Nigeria and America.
“Our ambassador to the US has spoken. He did not send himself there, so there is nothing more for me to add,” he said.
The US, however, said despite its insistence on not selling arms to Nigeria, it was committed to helping the country address the threat posed by Boko Haram and other violent extremist organisations.
The Press Attache, US Embassy, Abuja, Sean McIntosh, in his response to SUNDAY PUNCH’s enquiry on why the US avoids supporting Nigeria internal wars, said his country had been working and continued to work with Nigerian authorities to provide assistance with humanitarian programmes, intelligence and strategic communications.
When asked to also explain the US policy that states America’s non-committal posture to Nigeria and to name other West African countries affected by the policy, McIntosh said the US had continued to advise the Federal Government to adopt a comprehensive approach to violent extremists.
He said such approach emphasises respect for human rights including the freedom of religion, prioritises civilian security, and responds to the needs of victimised communities.
McIntosh listed the assistance rendered to Nigeria by the US to include the provision of $19m for the vulnerable and conflict-affected households in Nigeria by the American government in 2014.
He said, “More than $7m from the US Agency for International Development’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance supports health, water and sanitation services; the delivery of emergency relief supplies and protection activities for women and children in north-eastern Nigeria.
“USAID/Food for Peace has provided nearly $7m in emergency food assistance and the US Department of State has provided more than $5m to fund protection activities in affected areas.
“In addition, the US government provided more than $54m in humanitarian assistance in Cameroon, Chad and Niger, targeting refugee populations from neighbouring countries, including Nigeria.”
The American embassy spokesman explained that the USAID was also in the process of starting two new programmes that would address critical educational needs for both boys and girls in northern Nigeria.
These, according to McIntosh, include a ‘crisis response’ programme to be funded with about $20m to $30m. He said the programme would reach out with basic education to internally-displaced persons and others affected by the violence in the north-east, including Bauchi, Gombe, and Adamawa states.
“The programmes also include a ‘flagship’ five-year education programme that will strengthen systems to provide greater access and learning (increasing reading skills) for primary school children, principally in Sokoto and Bauchi, and other states of the North as conditions allow,” he explained.
McIntosh stated that two additional large USAID projects focused on maternal and child health and democracy and governance are geographically co-located in Bauchi and Sokoto states in an effort to maximise their developmental impact. He added that expansion into additional post-conflict states would be considered as conditions and resources allow.

ok

b2212:
i mean if you raise it does the needle/indicator go beyond 3 on the dashboard?

Me self they imagine the swagger de ginger

thelegend1:
If all is well, why is it so dusty and in a mechanic workshop?

Thanks man

ZIMDRILL:
do you travel 9000 miles for month ? i guess the answer is no


oil level should changed twice a week or monthly these depends on how much long travel you do per week the more you do the frequently you you check the oil level via dip stick

oil service is done either by miles/kms or mothns/years therefore manufacturer say by miles/km or months/years meaning whatever comes first between the two

what they mean is this if you eg buy a car with 20000miles on the clock and within 6 months you clock 30000miles you have to changed the oil
this is usually monitored by the service light indicator it does the countdown for you from 10000 to 0 once it reaches 0 then it stays permanently on sign on dashboard instrument cluster, it only switches off when you reset either by a machine or by a sequence shown in the owners manual but if you changed the oil and not reset it, it will stay so changing the oil doesnt make the light disappear

then years method, there are people who dont travel much right, so it might take them 4 years to clock 10000miles, in this case you change the oil on the 2 and half or 3rd year regardless that the oil indicator has not shown up aka regardless that miles travelled havent been interval stated this example it 10000, you simply change the because oil grades as years goes by even when not used much

so commercial vehicles and indiviuals who do long distance are the ones that might change oil very frequently becoz they clock more miles than an average home to work back to work driver


here is uk most people on cars that are roughly 4 years above people do service every year the reason being that any car above years is required to yearly to have a roadworth certificate so when the is being checked for roadworth onwers request for service as well the idea is to have everything sorted for once and for all


if you want to no more about your car play with google you can download the owners manual it gives you more infor on service interval

I noticed that if i raise it, it will not rev pass 3 unless you press it hard, then it can reach 4.

b2212:
i mean if you raise it does the needle/indicator go beyond 3 on the dashboard?

I will check when i am going back home today.

Thanks.

b2212:
i mean if you raise it does the needle/indicator go beyond 3 on the dashboard?

Sorry I dont know what you mean by rev. Please can you explain. Thanks.

b2212:
If you rev the car does it REV above 3?

When I said shorten oil I mean before the next time of changing the oil and filter it is already below gauge.

The Car is Petrol engine and it is Automatic.

Is it every month that I should be changing the oil of by distance of say 9000 miles or what?

ZIMDRILL:
oil is never changed every month

when you say shorten oil what you mean ? do you mean it would be below the full mark on the dip stick? if so how offen do you check your oil

then oil fuel consumption what did you use to gauge ? hearsay or comparing from the manufacture worksheet

finally we need the full spec of the car right now we dont even know that its a diesel or petrol , which year engine size etc

20 VIEWS AND NO RESPONSE, HABA NAIRALANDER MAKE UNA BAIL ME OUT NOW.

Please my space wagon is hard in starting in the morning, lazy to pick up when accelerating, consuming fuel and shorten oil.

My mechanic say it is the turbo on the injector that need to be serviced for laziness in accerating and consumption of fuel. Also he said i need to change the engine if shorten oil. But I just bought this vehicle from germany in June this year.

Please is my mechanic right and what did you think I should do?

Please I use Mobil oil the one they sell for 3000/4litre and do servicing every month.
My Journey with the car is to go to work and come back.

Thanks.

selling ! selling !! selling !!!

What you na dey wait for? Dont regret this later make haste now.

gbam

outrageous price for this registered baby.

700k and location please?

Good to hear that his daughter was not there, and bros among all the comments i have read here yours is number 1.

Gaidenk:
Know this,the means a Christian exits earth has no link whatsoever on how their walk with GOD was. Most of The Apostles where either beheaded,stoned to death,crucified.. Steven on being stoned saw the Glory of GOD,Paul said this, i have fought the good fight,i have finished my race,and he also died in a less ceremonial manner. The manner of exit of Dr and Mrs Myles should in no way make us question the faithfulness of GOD to his servants,GOD is ever Faithful. They are with Him,that is all that matters,they are at peace that is all that matters,i even envy them. I will not mourn their death,i celebrate their life and I'm aware they are much better than i am. Let GOD be glorified. Rest on Dr and Mrs Myles Munroe. And pls his daughter wasn't on that flight,Op correct that.

Thanks for your prompt response,

Ikenna

Please what is the major issue with this type of peugeot 407 as most of the discussion here is on 406?
