If the PDP has so much confidence in its administration’s achievements, it should prove it by bringing out the campaign promises of 2011 and let us put a check mark to the ones its man has achieved. The party should tell us, in an unambiguous language, what happened to the 7-Point Agenda of Yar’Adua/Jonathan regime. It should explain why Boko Haram, a rag-tag army of religion-crazed maniacs that lack the intelligence to make the simplest battle formation, keeps defeating trained soldiers of the Nigerian Army. It should explain why soldiers consistently mutiny; why their wives have echoed the similar complaints as their husbands –that their failures on the battlefront is because that they are poorly equipped for war. It should tell us why, after all the monies spent on security and the extra $1bn it received, soldiers still complain they lack the weapons they need to confront Boko Haram. It should tell us why those soldiers should be sacrificed on the altar of their collective impotence and pot-bellied corruption. And truthfully tell us if the government is still searching for the Chibok girls. It should tell us about the fuel subsidy and why Nigerians are still paying that obnoxious money even as the price of oil is crashing on the world market. It should tell us what became of the various reports on corruption and why so much money has been reported “missing” in this government and no one has been held accountable. It should also tell us why kerosene sells for more than N150 per litre when government claims it is subsidising it to sell for N50/litre. CC: Ola6, Rossike, Truckpusher, |

Believe u me. This fight against terrorism is beyond our comprehension(we the citizens) it is far from what they tell us in the media. As for mutiny.i believe that their re behind the scene stories which we have not heard. But i think somepeople are working tirelesly to see this true.our best option here is support not criticism cos who cares about what we spit? |

tit:They only asked for weapons and they got death in return. These soldiers knew their place and understood the expectation that they maintain it, these soldiers know that in the military orders are orders, even if irrational, But these orders are not legal and morally right, that for sure we know . The orders they got were not battle effective, the army under which they fought is undisciplined, It is an unfair army where soldiers are deliberately sent to their deaths. It is an army whose leadership is populated by a few martinets, and the few are completely outnumbered by incompetents and plain rogues, We must not be deceived; the fog of this war is sabotage. The war on terror is the way it is because the military higher ups have financial interest in maintaining the status quo. Sometimes, disobedience is the only sensible thing to do. In this case, they walked away from death only to come face to face with it. You, as a Nigerian, should not support their death by firing squad, given the circumstances surrounding their rebellion. General Azubike Ihejirika, accused of backing Boko Haram, is walking free. Ali Modu Sheriff, who has repeatedly being named as knowing something about the Boko Haram insurgency, is Jonathan's presidential guide on terror issues. If they walk free, the soldiers must walk free! This death penalty is the worst form of state abuse. Enough is enough. |

johnbuck81:How do you ask a man to fight a war waged on behalf of an unfeeling class of saboteurs, who are benefiting from arms importation, currency trafficking, money laundering and all illegal shades of business in between How do you ask aman to fight with bare hands How do you ask a man to goto confront a brutal enemy unprepared How do you fight in a war that is rigged If Nigeria had a more professionalarmy, these mutinies would not easily happen. If Nigeria has an army of patriots that is unaffected by the debilitating influence of corruption from hiring, training and deployment, Boko Haram would have been defeated. If the ranks of army leadership where not populated by saboteurs, hoteliers, arm dealers and general contractors, the nation would have been spared these humiliations. If Nigeria had sustained the respected army of yore who recorded great exploits in the Congo and many other countries, the experience and pragmatics of war would have produced a more seasoned outlook. These incidents would not have risen to a court-martial. They would have been effectively dealt with in-house. But killing those soldiers is not the best option. |

seankafor:You're right but Nigeria is our Country and I believe; -No soldier will be happy to fight for a nation whose dead troops are left in the battle field or are given mass burials and their family ejected without compensation. -No soldier will be happy to fight when he was given guns that would jam, cannons that would not fire, vests that are fake while fighting on an empty stomach without allowances. Nigerians expect rebellion from these soldiers, when they are bombed by the same jet fighters that they expected aerial cover from. #SMH \\What a Nation// |

This is the last time Nigeria needs avoidable deaths. They should be jailed and dismissed. Unless of course they gave away their positions to the enemies,not just for disobeying orders that could could have actually been spurred by good reasons. |

mistabiola:i can neever and will never believe that troops are giving guns that cant fire. Is that possible?what kind of human being will do that?in war their re casualties even if u re fighting chickens. Excuses are for losers. And u dont expect hollywood movies where one man willk kill up to 50 people. |

seankafor:You're getting the whole thing wrong, you can't in anyway compare the weapons our soldiers are been given to theirs::: it's just like using AK47 to fight a man with Armoured Tank |

There are terms and conditions for service...Mutiny is punishable under the military code, irrespective of what lead to soldiers committing mutiny offence.. There is no room for desertion in the military, they all knew what they were signing up for when they took the form voluntarily... Should the soldiers be sentenced to death at this critical time I would say no...But they sure deserved to be jailed and dismissed...IMO |

I am sure Jonathan will not be that stupid to sign or approve the killing of these soldiers......the remote cause of their rebellion justifies their action. Tension is brewing across the Nation, no thanks to the propagation of negative propaganda coming from the camp of APC! However, I am upbeat that the security of our dear Country had long been compromised especially by the Nigerian Army shortly after the emergence of the Chosen One, President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011! We shall OVERCOME........ |

Jonathan must answer questions before God and Nigerians. |

tomakint:are u tryin to absolve jonathan of any crime/blame even as he's the one appointing those men(military chiefs) you think have compromised the security of the nation? Somebody is out to hoodwink all of us with his post. |
