They need to water the tree of jihadism with the blood of igbos. Nonsense! So uncircumcised jihadists can shoot Igbo recruits that you'd have no qualms deploying to ur Sahara areas? Fucq off

america is a interests system....

to compare nigeria with america is crazy and dangerous for nigeria....
that was what caused the civil war to start with....

you cant force people to be toghether....america was a new playin ground for everybody although it originaly belonged to the native americans....
nigeria has very old kingdoms....
You claim that the civil war was caused because someone compared Nigeria to America? Nothing we no go hear on Nairaland.
The idea that you want to kick out merit just because you have old kingdoms is absolutely crazy and the reason for all our problems.

This is your insecurity displaying in HD as the best of military Nigerian wver had were of igbo extract. What you should worry about is why there are so many deserters today in tge Nigerian army ? Why should any right thinking person join the army ranks when so many of them are deserting or resigning or been killed senselessly because the arm is compromised? What about the allowance , check the army ranks will you want your loved ones to be treated the way the Nigerian army ranks are being treated . You think the solution to thus is to throw tanctrum? Use your head even your yoruba brothers and sisters in the ranks are resigning because poor treatments of the troops and you are here displaying your insecurity.
Use your senses for once. After all your crying, did you disprove any of the indisputable facts I outlined ?

You even gave more credence to my submission. You validated the cowardice and low IQ accusation.

Read it well. Or give someone to translate for you. I recommend Google translate- English to Igbo.

Spelling is "Armageddon"*** by the way..... let me guess, miracle center?

Please how do I converse with someone who can't even spell his moniker correctly?

Every modern country needs a military. Refusing to join the Nigerian Army will not take away the Nigeria Army or ensure that it may not be sent to your village if the powers that be deem it fit. Whining that it's corrupt is just playing victim and won't change nada either. You must have heard the saying that soldiers are bad but terrorists are worse. You want to change things? You can be a part of that.

And what does the bolded even mean?

Bros, we have borrowed sense
Re: Nigerian Army Worries As South East Youths Shun Recruitment by 43Ronin:
You want to recruit igbo youths so that you can send them to go die in the north just like you are doing the yoruba youths. The guy on green being executed by iswap is a yoruba boy that just finished his army training this year. You send southern youths to die so that fulani herdsmen can kill our people & fulani soldiers can protect then & shoot unarmed protesters

Governors childrens or their grand children can take the slots first, including the senators, house of rep and lower chambers children or their grand children. Thereafter local government chairmans and childrens of commissioners. I believe by the time childrens of this imposed politicians take the slots there wouldn't be any slots for ordinary youth from south east.

I believe Nigeria soldiers has killed the youths that may have interest to join the army, during the time they shot youths protesting for kanu release and other related occurrence.

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 😌
Thanks alot, a lot of people don't think of how redundant Government workers are after retirement.

Re: Nigerian Army Worries As South East Youths Shun Recruitment by Sanctecosma(m): 6:53pm On Apr 12, 2025
You have a point but you can't compare that to the Nigerian situation. The Nigerian army will expect south easterners to join the army recruit only to use them as pawns in fighting the bokok Haram.

nairalanda1:
I remember reading about one Korean nationalist who when Korea was a part of the empire of Japan advised Korean youth to join the Japanese army

His reasoning was that when Korea became free it would have a ready made trained cadre of soldiers .

And the chap was not fond of Japan by the way.

Many listened to him. That is why by 1948 , both the dprk and the rok had standing armies. And even advanced training institutions.

It might be a good thing for a biafranist to join the army. Just saying.



Remember Arminius

You guys are funny. You people actually expect Igbos to join a group that that systematically erected checkpoints all over Igbo land, commiting every crime from extortion to brutality to human rights abuse? If it were you, would you join such group?

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, brutality, 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
But you will still come out in the future with your theories of lopsided and marginalized in Nigeria Army .
