Don't confuse Basic military training which is what is done at depot and other military institutions in the world for specialised trainings, after depot training some will still go for further training. Nobody will be teaching you advanced counter Insurgency, etc At boot camp when the most important thing at that stage is learning how to properly shoot your rifles, read and interpret maps, fieldcraft etc. Military training is always a continuum.

Blueelf:


Any cogent reason why?

Does he have good antecedents?

Whyem15:


Apologies..... Mistook Sarham for Ali keffi. Sarham is of RC 35 and was a contender. He may have to retire now or move to DHQ.

ugo4u:

Lol! Pretend as if you didn't see where I said the '63 constitution could be fine tuned to meet today's realities. Of course as the paid gov't hag you're you won't see it, you'll rather delve into ethnic dog whistling. Even the Ijaws, Itshekiris and other minorities your talking about are all calling for restructuring, we now have six regions each of which can stand on their own, how the Igbos who are chiefly in the south east will be lording over the minorities who are in the South South defies logic and only concretise the notion that the foolishness in your reasoning is inate, cancerous and contagious even if you're poked with a needle you will never get the point, you have sold your dignity in exchange for tradermonie, in all honesty I would love to exam the brains of the people that brought you to this world, who knows science may have answers to the roof breaking idiocy jammed into the brains of an individual.
The joke is on you.

Kaeboy:


Everything you've being saying here is making no sense at all. Do you even listen to your self atimes? Your sense of reasoning smells, your opinion stinks horribly.

For your information, bad days are gone, now it's either things are done right or this country that is your people's only source of feeding will be divided.

E go shock una, una go think say na joke. Era of monkey dey work, baboon dey chop must stop. Na dieing minutes we dey oo.
Everybody must spend what they earn.

If the restructuring will not accomodate things as we want, then a restructuring will not happen at all. There is no room for mistakes this time, even the sold out leaders in the south that are dinning with you people can't stop it. Nonsense!

Stormtrooper11:

Seriously, i don't like this selection. Maj gen Yahya is of 37rc. We skipped at least 15 Generals. They might retire Sarham. Look at Maj Gen Ahanaotu for heaven sakes. That is a very high ranking and experienced officer. Look at Maj. Gen Ezugwu too. Anyways they have their reasons.

lebuhsi:



The 1999 Constitution was crafted by solely by civilians

Town hall meetings, consensus and all that.
This thread would further explain this

The 1999 is not exactly new, it's a replica of the 1979 Constitution with very slight adjustments.

Ezeogwu is of RC 37 too. Ahanotu was Attahiru's senior at some point.

JOSCOFELIX:
for those saying efcc have the right to arrested a serving military official , you guys are completely wrong. the military police is the only institution responsible for arrest, detain and transferring of military case to civilian court. if efcc wanted arresting the general, they would have write to the military high command, especially the military police department with prove of the allegation level against the general.

Whyem15:
Murtalaibin stated that the appointment is in line with the president's preference for army chief with history of commanding the COIN theater command or MNJTF.

Whyem15:

Is it a law or just tradition? If it is a law, can you please provide citation.

ugo4u:

This is also a form of federalism which devolves powers to smaller units like I said earlier things can be tweaked to meet today's realities. A constitution that allocates resources based on population and geographical size is fraudulent & it's bound to breed agitations.
Fiscal federalism in its truest sense is what majority of Nigerians are clamouring for if we're being honest.

JOSCOFELIX:
it is their tradition. you dare not arrested a serving military personal whether a Nco or Co officer without and authorized from the military police department

ugo4u:

I agree we need strong institutions but how do we now tackle the issue of revenue generation and sharing formula? Which in my own opinion is the major cause of the grumblings & rumblings in the country especially the Southern states. How can we explain to the common man that states can't generate their own power without being forced to feed it to the national grid? The matter just plenty.

DaddyGoo:


You know oga, on this thread na only you get unfilthy hole!

Small thing you go begin lob insults dey tell person say dem no get sense.

Unfortunately this shows just the kind of person you are.

I'm not gonna exchange words with you but in the name of God, stop insulting everybody you interact with here.

Back to topic, I am very aware of the CDCC and a lot of the things that happened back then which produced the constitution, and ultimately the OBJ Government.

Still doesn't change the fact that the constitution writing process was kicked off by the military.

Which made them bigger stakeholders in the process, and the final result, than they should have been under normal circumstances.

I hope you are clear now.

Whyem15:


Then its a stupid tradition, I agree that the military should be informed where and if possible but the authorization is bullshit. Law enforcement agencies should be able to arrest anyone anywhere and at any time. This is part of the reasons many soldiers are committing heinous crimes. To make things easy, the military police should have bureau offices at the HQ of all law enforcement agencies and vice versa and also have written agreements with each other. This will even help reduce the headaches many bastards give the military.
Military crimes should solely be prosecuted by the military but any other crime, the military shouldn't interfere or even give their full support.
The only situation where conflict can exist is when law enforcement agencies are attempting to arrest soldiers on very important missions and that is why the military command should have a reasonable relationship based on cooperation with law enforcement agencies.


It is not kuku their fault, if the police was very professional, no one will be telling them any trash. A suspect is a suspect no matter the organization he belongs to. Let the court decide the rest after arrest.

jpphilips:


You want to fine tune 63 constitution that choked minories with just 4 regions but you can't fine tune 1999 constitution that has 36 states & 774 LGAS, your IQ is too low for this discussion.

sanctity454:

Do you think this will perform well?

JOSCOFELIX:

1999 constitution was now "Kicked off" by the military no longer a shitty piece of paper handed over to you by the military, pls I dont insult people, I give a vivid description of the hopeless people on this platform.
A military administration transitioning to a civilian one will have its constitution kicked off by dead people or Ghosts, when I said you people are senseless you feel insulted.

Whyem15:


This administrations attempted to grant local governments autonomy, all state governors united under the governor's forum fought against it. They are currently misappropriating funds meant for the local government.
This same administration gave the judiciary autonomy, the state governors have refused to do the same, judicial workers went on strike because of that but nothing came off it.

It is these same governors that are at the front of the struggle for restructuring. How exactly are we supposed to have strong institutions when governments at the state level are totally against it?

Please note that these same state governors under the governors forum have unanimously approved total deregulation of the oil sector and removal of subsidy and are looking forward to the sale of PMS at #385 per litre.

DubaiLandLord1:
With this kin glaring corruption case sef, GMB don suppose ask the ONSA pga to step aside by now. The oga of NPA was told to step aside because of a corruption case on top her head without the case even getting to the court.

If this kin corruption case nah for USA, do you think the ONSA oga go still dey sit on top that seat by now? Make we dey reason things well abeg!

The Nigerian constitution supercede all things, you can't be giving an excuse for this, then start pointing fingers at a person supporting IPOB.

Why should a court in Abuja declare IPOB mostly filled up with igbos and mostly operating in igbo land of terrorism? wetin concern the Court in Abuja with wetin dey happen for igbo land?
It

Jimi24:


This is my problem with Nigeria. People don't sit down to think anymore. The discussion space is now taken up by 20-somethings and 30-somethings who no nothing about anything. The 1963 constitution also failed. Of course it failed. It led to military incursion into politics. Yes minorities were suppressed in the regions (and this is not as benign as it sounds). It was state creation that made some of us realise that not all northerners were Muslims and not all S. Easterners were Igbos. We need to be careful that one track minded binary thinkers who can't think railroad us into errors of the past.

Whyem15:


Ezeogwu is of RC 37 too. Ahanotu was Attahiru's senior at some point, he is originally of RC 34, don't know what happened that made him become RC 35. Being originally of RC 34 could be the reason for not choosing him, the COAS can't be mates with the CDS who is also of RC 34.

Buratai was RC 29, the new COAS is of RC 37, almost 10 courses apart!

Stormtrooper11:

Its too wide. Hope this guy bring his [b]infantry [/b]tactics to bear.

Seems the incoming COAS has corruption allegations against him

Stormtrooper11:
Funnily, i wanted MAJ-GEN Sarham. Hope this one will perform well
