| Nigerian Army - Concerns Over COAS Gen. Waidi Shaibu by DiamondSword799(op): 12:56pm On Dec 01, 2025 |
I have serious concerns for the Nigerian Army under the leadership of Gen. Waidi Shaibu. And those concerns are increasing each day. Immediately after Gen. Shaibu was appointed, the first red flag for me was the posting of senior officers to army formations. Those postings raised very coded concerns about the wisdom of Gen. Shaibu. Remember the coup plot, if true, look up the names of those arrested and look at the postings made by this Army chief. You would Immediately sense his stupidity. Extensive stupidity with hate and tribalism mixed in one man. Recently, a Brig. Gen was captured and killed by terrorist. The Army chief has carried on as if nothing happened. Till today, he has said nothing. He even travelled and addressed soldiers, yet nothing about the death of a general. Normally, the theatre commander should have been removed for that incident. When Col. Elemele was ambushed and killed, it was clearly an inside job. The then Army chief, Gen. Buratai Immediately removed the GOC. When Col. Bako was killed in combat, the Army and DHQ dealt the terrorist leaders a devastating blow. Now a Brig. Gen was ambushed, this Army chief has done nothing, raising serious concerns. Yesterday, a Colonel named Audu Achigili raised concerns that his promotion was approved and is being blocked. He has now been dragged away like an animal. Like an animal. These are senior officers, men who staked their lives for the nation. Shouldn't the Army investigate his grievance, rather than humiliate him further. I expected him to be arrested humanely, and his grievance investigated. I have serious concerns about the Army under Gen. Shaibu. The postings he made, his handling of Brig. Uba's death, are two red flags for me. But time would tell. For now, let's follow the case of Col. Audu Achigili. |

Nigeria would never solve the Northern problem until the Fulanis are completely routed from the leadership positions they occupy in the military and security services. |

DiamondSword799:So your anger with him starts with senior soldiers going to fight war? Please tell me the difference between you and the senators who are angry that policemen who are meant to protect the public are no more doing Gringori and carrying their handbag for them? This country sef, someone is asking why post generals to war, don't worry, it is their wives that will win it for us....chaiii |

DiamondSword799:Gen. Uba's death was not only humiliating to the military but the lack of action from the military high command seems to agree with the general notion of complicity on their part. Col. Achigilli's case as you highlighted should bother on improper channelling of his grievance. If I recall correctly ,he's a member of NDA course 44 and must have lost seniority since course 45 are already Brigadier general e g Obasanjo. He shouldn't have allowed his emotions to get the better part of him. He's a soldier and a senior officer at that. He knows the punishment for such actions. |
