WE WANT TO FORM EASTERN ARMY IN NIGERIA.


AN ARMY THAT WILL BE ONLY US, WE DONT WANT ASSOCIATION WITH BOKO HARAM.




CREATE EASTERN ARMY BASED IN SE ZONE, ONLY FOR SE PEOPLE.




LET THE BOKO HARAM BOYZ STAY IN THE NORTH AND THE SKULL MINERS REMAIN IN SW.

The South East does not trust the Nigerian Army as an institution

We see the Nigerian Army as nothing more than a tool of oppression, suppression, thuggery, abuse of power and human rights abuse

Recruitment into the Nigerian Army will always be low in the South-East.There are very few Igbos interested in fighting for Nigeria
Then join them and change that from within. They're not going away, you know. They're a necessary evil.

IGBO YOUTH WILL NOT JOIN TERRORIST GROUP.



WE NEED THEM TO DEFEND OUR HOMELAND FROM INVADERS.


WHAT IS THE USE OF NIGERIA ARMY WITH TERRORIST KILLINGS EVERYWHERE?



WHY SHOULD THEY JOIN A TERRORIST GROUP.


JUST LISTEN TO A FOREIGNER VIEW OF NIGERIA

AT LEAST NOBODY WILL SEND THEM TO BE KILLED BY BOKO HARAM OR ISIS IN NORTH.



THEY SEND THEM OUT AND THE BOKO MILITARY WILL LEAK INFO TO ISIS MILITANT, SO THEY CAN ALL BE KILLED.


IF THEY MUST DIE IT MUST BE DEFENDING IGBO SOIL.



NIGERIA ARMY COME AND REMOVE THE REMAINING OF YOUR BOKO BOYZ FROM SE REGION.


U ARE ABSOLUTELY USELESS TO US.

Validated:
The Governors of SE and SS should tell their citizens the truth. Igbos are not wanted in any leadership positions in Nigeria. Otherwise, Peter Obi would be president. Every other region has had their piece of the rulership, with some doing two times.
Since Igbos cannot rule, they should not be seen defending the bigot rulers. Nigeria Army under Tinubu is full of bigotry and tribalism. If you an Igboman and join the military be sure to die young because they will send you go to sambisa and LakeChad, where your colleagues might also be ISWAP sympathizers. The army now have thousands of "repentant" Boko Haram members. If you shoot their members, be sure to get friendly 🔥. It is your family back home that will suffer.
U hit the nail on the head.
That's what steady marginalization causes.
Over the years people would compensate for such via others means.
It abolishes the sense of statesmanship and nationhood in oneself.

It truly does not make sense.

What will an Igbo young man or woman benefit from joining the Nigerian army?

How much is the pay?

What is the realistic career progression like?

How will he be better off than his kinsman who focused on learning a trade or craft?

Who wants to sacrifice sons that will be sent to go fight terrorists and bandits, while politicians and their fronts are making money from the insecurity, their own children living comfortably abroad?

Had a relative who signified interest last year, to join the Army as a recruit. I discouraged him, got him enrolled for apprenticeship in shoe making in Aba and assured him that at the end of his apprenticeship, I will help him set up his own.
You did well, government work slows down progression. It's corrupt money that enriches them and it end up down the drain after retirement as no management skills. Most politicians get broke too after losing election because no free money 🤷.
Am a northern though 😌

Northernblood8:
They are playing Mind games on Igbos. They actually refused to recruit Igvo people into the military.Then they will come to the media to shout that Igbos are not applying. I have 8 friends from Imo State that applied, they all got rejected.

They do it on purpose because they know if the release press statements like this, many Igbos on social media will say Igbos are not interested. They are afraid that Igbos will topple the government if they are given weapons
Don't mind them! I remember when I finished my first degree, I applied for Short service (SSC) in the army but wasn't even invited to the selection board. They'll pack mostly Hausa people and later want people to believe Igbos are not applying!

Yeye people

At the first sign of trouble they run away. Why recruit them? grin

Zik, Ojukwu and Kanu all ran after chestb3ating.

In 1966, Victor Banjo, a Yoruba man led their BiaBia Army after all the men ran away.

In 2025, grown wo-MEN, hide under their beds every Monday, shivering because of a fellow man farting continents away grin

No wonder their yamleggahs chase Yoruba guys for more testosterone grin
In your mind, you have made sense? Obviously not cos sense is very far from you
