Why should you wear a uniform of an organisation that you don't belong to. If that young man misbehave now the media will say a soldier was caught misbehaving. They are protecting their own image.
E.g is that video circulating then when a military personnel are seen together with bandits not knowing that this people are bandits dressed in a military attire. That not what media and the people what to hear again. Anything that can tarnish the image of the armed forces is what they want

Not surprised at your level of reasoning. You are a product of your environment

That why I said why and manner differs from one country to another likewise the rules differs also

But you also said it is to not tarnish the organization - which doesn't happen in those countries

This nonsense only happens in Africa especially Nigeria, you can never see this rubbish in saner climes

It's crazy. It wasn't like this in the late 90s though, cos that's when camo t shirt and camo pants was in vogue, and I remember going around with camo gear. The thing is crazy, cos I really want to wear the t shirt now, but I can't.

Those your saner climes are not authorities.
We are in Nigeria and if the Nigerian army says do not wear military camos, then do not wear them. You can wear them when you get to Canada or united states.
Do you know that most people wear those camo to steal and commit crimes? And people like you will still come to say they were military men.

The only problem is wearing camouflage (impersonation) can land you 2 years imprisonment with the option of fine

please forget that nonsense wey you dey cap! there is a reason why Fela insulted them, comparing them with zombie! there is a reason why there are called 3rd world Army! there is a reason why they are MOST HATED after police!.same thing happened to me too right here in Abuja some years ago.they almost went with my phone in their haste to take my camo short away if not for one bold onlooker that challenged those pure animals to at least "allow him remove his property in the pocket na"!as this guy was seeing doing here!worse part wasn't wear panties that morning, so a many selling clothes nearby offered me a short nicker which I later paid for..let me tell you,just yesterday,I saw one the bastard stranded with some civilians at a round about looking for cab or even okada to get to work.he was decked in camo.they all waved me downand I slowed down to a stop.(I don't commercial,so I just wanted to help)a soldier was among ,he ran with other thinking I'd carry him .I locked my door ,wind down my side glass window and told pointedly I'm only picking some friend of mine that I dont taxi,he moved back,then I signalled to some couple of civilians to get in ( they got message and one burst out laughing) and I immediately zoomed , leaving his stupid ass standing there!I did it on purpose and I hope he got the message too.most ranks and files of the nigerian Army are filled with illiterate,drop outs, barely educated, society dregs, unrefined, unprofessional, hostile, bellicose,razz and crass as fukk, even frustrated.many joined not because they really want to serve,but first as a job or way to earn a living and secondly and most importantly,as an avenue to vent their frustration and other personal challenges on the civilians they are meant to protect and bind with socially!they allienate themselves from the civilian population with the erroneous,primitive thinking and believe that they are empowered by joining Army to do whatever they want with civilians!..watch that American movie called the The Unit ,a selected Marine elite special forces set up to fight terrorism on American interest anywhere possible starring actor Jonas Blane, there is this scene where a cousin of Jonas ,a marine,came home from tour of duty,and next day,beat up his newly married wife . when Jonas confronted him ,after giving him series of confirmed dirty slaps ,with blood streaking across his face, asked his cousin why he did that,wait for it,the stupid young Marine replied saying, someone in the army told him "he has right to be angry at anyone (including his own wife) anytime he's back home from assignment, mission or your of duty"....!I'll need forget that line!of course ,Jonas reset his brain for him, lecturing him,no one in the family who has ever joined the army,has ever hurt civilians on purpose and unprovoked!..go watch!that infamous line in that movie encapsulation of our bush army personnel,! they feel they reserved the right to intimidate and brutalize civilians simply because they were 'forced'to sign up (abi No so? undecided)reason even The civilians themselves are in constant hostilityy and antagonist with them!police overdo, overzealousness, excessive brutality gave birth to the #endsars riot,says Mike Okiro,former IG .one day e fit turn to #Endsarmy!!!

where was it stated?

You have the internet, and a TV... Army officially released statements banning its use by civilians severally.

If for nothing else, it's not a secret... Even average street kids know these simple rules.

Your Nigerian people caused it...!

There have been several reported cases of young men robbing victims while dressed in Camo. Some criminals even impersonate army officers and steal while wearing them.

Add the widespread use by terrorists, and you will understand why it had to be banned... It's in everyone's best interest.

exactly. People need to understand that Nigeria is a country with multiple insecurities. And most of the criminals tend to dress in kamo, eg Boko Haram and ipob. Hence the regulation on kamo uniform.

The approach is wrong, but it is illegal wear uniforms of institutions you don't belong to, especially those of the forces.
Nigerians are lawbreakers , the boy knows that it is wrong to to use force uniforms.

Hmm. The way some of these soldiers behave is something else.

We should ask Defense HQ, if its a crime for a civilian to put on camouflage, let's see or hear their answer.


But if that guy wear am come intimidate you na you call am unknown soldier


When criminals wear same to mount road block , you 3xp3xt the military to them


For me, they were very friendly with the guy



For that foreign country wey Una Sabi mention how many times the government dey use soldiers for internal security issues


Soldiers are every in the country helping the police do their jobs and some dying in the process , the least way for them to die should not be for somebody to impersonate them and come close only to open fire on them


This is reality of Nigeria not America...criminals in the west don't use army uniforms ...they wear hoody

I dunno about whether it is crime but the military has repeatedly warned against civilians wearing camouflage style clothes.

Sir we all know the reason they're doing that, it's not for security reason or whatsoever, it is jst pure victimisation and also hate driven, because you didn't suffer in their recruitment training therefore you're not suppose to put it on, thier action has nothing to do with insecurity and the rest, they jst want to humiliate the guy because he is a civilian, there's no law that forbids you wearing camo
Don't wear it or aid anyone to wear it when soldiers catch you this your grammar won't save you ,we should learn how to respect military

Exactly the point. Most Nigerians can easily use it to oppress others who doesn't know they're fake. The issue here is not even about our military, it's our people who's filled with all sorts of wicked sense. If the military says nobody should wear their camo, then nobody should wear it.

If someone in camo commit atrocities people will attribute it to the doings of military men without verifying if the person is really a military personnel. You act according to wherever you belong. Don't always compare things here with abroad

Wearing a camo short is not an impersonation. It is identifying with the military.

It's not today. My friend was told to remove his Camo short in Ibadan. I have seen Camouflage hoodie, shirt, short, other lovely camo wears that are not in any way close to the type worn by the military, I have chosen to walk away.
I don't want one son of Lucifer to be telling me to do frog jump. I don't want Edide, Ejoko.
The only Camo I will buy is Camo Crocs. No force in hell can stop that.
