Among my dad's coursemates, most of the guys who reached the rank of brigadier general are northerners, most of them were among the worse in courses and had lower education than their southern counterparts who were compulsorily retired at the rank of colonel for most of them.

Exaggeration? Come NE abeg.

Many of you don’t know what’s popping down here. Continue reading NE war from Twitter.

ugo4u:

Stop giving us lamba abeg, which course was your father to start with let's cross examine your claims.
Did you even know that at the senior level from Colonel upwards promotion is based on slots across each region, even at that level they still try to balance things maybe your father was retired because age on rank has caught up with him, or even failed his promotional exams and be giving you guys lamba at home.
The Army has its own issues, I agree and I do point it out here but the way you're portraying the institution is as if it is made up solely by a particular group of people which is not true.

youghs:


Number of soldiers killed has nothing to do with coming to NE. This is purely statistics realeased by institutions that have no relation to the Government or the military. Even soldiers fighting in North East cannot accurately tell you the number of soldiers KIA compared to terrorists killed without statistic report. The difference is really far bro, no just go there. I know being there would definitely affect your emotions but statistics and emotions are different, Emotion would make you think 10 soldiers KIA is more than 100 Terrorists eliminated when you start hearing about their names, history, bravery, personality and so on. That's what emotion does, but statistics puts everything straight.

Nice to see I generate such interests, but you need to sharpen your comprehension skills

To be truthful, most of you are not sufficiently intelligent to understand the world you live in.
I don't blame people for not being smart, but I don't debate them neither. I can educate you guys though, for a pay but I already have a job and I don't think you can match my salary.

ugo4u:

I want to believe you're talking about the 1963 model, for me it was close to the best system of governance we had before the military struck. That been said the Swiss model is quite attractive, Canada also practice something similar.

NB:
The U.K route I was talking about is wrt to the union of Ireland, Britain and Scotland.

Illumined939:
If you want to verify whether the Nigerian Army is a sectional army,or not, go to any village in Plateau or Taraba state, dominated by Christians, and ask, "what role does the Nigerian Army play in the aftermath of any fulani attack?"
If you want to understand Nigeria, travel, ask questions, don't just stay on your phone, assuming. Go talk to poor Nigerians in remote villages that have at one time, endured the brunt of the Nigerian Army.

SamuelAnyawu:


Bro’s I don’t argue on this at all.

Where are we killing the Terrorists? In our ducking FOBs and Supercamps?

We are conducting ambushes? Wulgo, Kirenowa, Logomani?

We are attacking their locations?

I don’t bring emotions into my thinking I’m a Rugged Dude. I’m saying what the real scores ongoing here.

Baba boys Dey go down unnecessarily

It’s well sha. God Bless Nigeria

Sounds like an unemployed youth dreaming for a job all his life.

Have you heard about Mambila militia in Taraba before?
When next you go to Taraba, ask the right questions, don't sit like a Zombie to be fed tales by moonlight, the likes of Danjuma et al were funding the militia to protect the farms against Fulani terrorists & herdsmen that over run their crops.
The militia refused to be coalesced into the state armed forces structure, unlike almost all the vigilantes & support armed groups in every state including the Civillian JTF in Borno.

Mambilla militia succeeded for a while but over zealously set out on a vendetta mission to oust peaceful fulani settlers in the state, military came in with the mandate to disarm both groups, !diots like Danjuma started crying fowl that military took sides with the Fulanis but forgot to tell you that the militia had no evidence that those settlers were responsible for the attacks in the farm to have butchered them.

Do you expect the military to fold her arms & watch a total break down of law & order?
That's the issue in Taraba, they are unhappy their militia was disarmed but won't tell you their militia lost their mandate from protection of farms to attacking settlers.

The same thing is about to happen in the SE, IPOB launched ESN with the pretext they will protect farmlands, instead of remaining in the farms, they are everywhere attacking police, army, vigilantes & Innocent people.
Why should they not be disarmed?

Every group hides behind a security challenge to arm themselves against their perceived enemies then expect the army to fold arms & watch?

Stormtrooper11:

Absolutely correct. But they were 2000+. They formed a swimming school at 3rd marine commmando division occupation area. Issac boro's men were even involved in the invasion of mainland portharcourt in 1968!. His men were superb. Infact, they were called special forces. They were our first special forces

Blueelf:
When some monickers begin to tell me not to compare our military with others, I need to remind them that in the last 7 years, our military's budget has been unprecedented. So what are the service chiefs and military high command doing with all the money?

The men on the ground know this and thus they don't feel its fair to give their lives for a country they feel has abandoned them

Blueelf:
If some of us are going to be talking about the ethnic makeup of the Nigerian Military, we had better back it up with statistics from reliable sources....

Its not wise to allow our sentiments to be guided by emotions

truthshots3:


No emotions involved, it is a known fact that every honest soldier or family member of soldiers would tell you. It is so well known that northerners even boast of it.

Statistics from a reliableble source ? Get the f out of here...

Blueelf:


Now who's being emotional....

truthshots3:

Weird question, you guys love to use the expression "being emotional". But I don't think most of you even know the meaning.
I am discussing facts, you chose to be ignorant on purpose. How old are you ? I would guess you are a teenager.

The age at which you are not smarter than a 13 year old kid but believe you are smarter than professors.

Blueelf:


He resorts to insults....

I ask again, now who's being emotional

Say the above without tearing up your retinas next time....

truthshots3:


There is no insult in my comment, look we are of different generations, I don't do the trolling thing your generation loves so much.

Blueelf:


How do you nknow my generation??

Who resorted to insults on a simple statement directed to everyone on this thread

No one came at me with insults except you...It speaks a lot about your age or upbringing; can't really tell betwixt the two

1st division was 50% hausa extraction. 2nd and 3rd division were really mixed. [/b]Infact majority of Nigerian army recruits during the war were from benue and the minority tribes[b]

Odunayaw:
If you're asking this it must mean you have zero idea on what training is like in the Army. So what chest have you been using to chide them?

Anyway, there's a documentary of how life is for fresh recruits and NDA cadets on YouTube. If you truly want to rid yourself of ignorance, you can find it

Odunayaw:
Unprecedentedly high or low?

You are entitled to your opinion.

Pointers:
Your emojis show your age.
The way you reason shows your age (maths teachers easily recognise these things)

I have been at that age and reasoned the same way as you before, I have made the same inadequate statements as you before...I was once at your age and level...

You will understand what I am saying in the future, especially if you have kids and watch them do the same stupid stuff you used to do.

Federickson02:


Heyy, are you a cadet?
Im preparing to enroll for the NDA this year. Will I survive in the academy? I'm nowhere near the strongest teenagers out there. Which means, I'm average
