Sorry sir, but it is you that doesn't understand the import of the ruling. Since the judge says soldiers duties should be that of protecting territorial integrity, it would also make sense within that context to withdraw them from all other anti crime operations such as the OPMESA etc.

Well, in truth, having soldiers as part of such operations is an anomaly and an indictment on the capabilities of the police.

Only a F**lish person would buy such an idea in this current state of the country. The military are important at this time at least to protect and fight against any insurgents at such period...
At the last election touts locked up corpers, Policemen and Civil defence in a particular place and went on doing d voting, while at some other different places they were all beaten like local drums...
Abeg make them iron this issue wella oh so that I go know if to conduct election or only do training. . .

APC is planning something bad and they are scared of police and army. What OP posted will be waved off if Jonathan speaks, so shut up!

Dont mind the idiots.
Where were their courts when GEJ took over 'amaechi's' stadium in PH.
These are powers that a C-in-C deploys without recourse to foolish urchins.
.
Under aged voters constitute 50% of the northwests 'large' voter population, so they are clearly afraid of the treatment Ihejirika gave them in the north of kaduna, in the polls that produced the 1st Christian Gov. Yakowa of blessed Memory.

Its good they played their hand early so we know were they are headed. So PDP take note.

I'm glad the govt is sticking to constitution, however.
They should figure provisions for safety of the voters and people involved in the voting process. Something that's not army, like I refuse to believe there aren't people trained in the private sector.

So all the soldiers deployed in armed robbery squad and counter-insurgency operations should be withdrawn?

Pls ignore the drunk judge.i am so sure he resides in the federal capital where security is of the highest order. Let him come up north where we all are sacred about the next step our evil islamic brothers of terrorists will adopt ,we need our lives safe.we have gotten enough of this killings , we need the military guys out here else we will not go out that day. Them the intimidations our opponents [either of the parties ]will give up is enough to make up afraid and withdraw .pls let our military come to our aid that day o!

The police force that we know in Nigeria can be easily overpowered and manupulated. On that front,I say yes to deploying soldiers at the polls. Nigerians only behave themselves when they see soldiers. Anybody who claims to be intimidated by the sight of soldiers,probably have alterior motives.

Re: Court: No Troops For Elections by Nobody: 10:40pm On Jan 30, 2015

this verdict does not favor corpers at al. We were the ones protecting police men during the distribution of PVC & CVR. I rememeber dt i was even telling a police officer that for her own safety she should stay where corpers are cos the corpers are your friends , we will protect you. Please i need soldiers not somebody to protect this time.

the police is weak against a horde of weapon wielding animals crying for blood...only military presence will send any trouble maker running for shelter like a wet puppy. The police were unable to protect corp members in Bauchi, remember?

And was the military able to protect the chibok girls and all other abductions that have happened under their nose?
If police not strong enough then empower them. It's against the law, that's all that matters.

This means PDP will not be able to intimidate people with the deployment of soldiers to the street as they used to do. A minus for them there

Also, touts and tugs can take over pooling booth form corruption laden and ill equipped police.

why are we so stupid in nig. We are arguing of deployment of soldiers wic wil help prevent atlest 70% bloodshed we are fighting against efort 4 security kai....

Re: Court: No Troops For Elections by techlegs: 11:04pm On Jan 30, 2015

What kangaroo court is that one? Please we need soldiers to maintain law and order. What APC wants is the ordinary police who can be easily compromised, and at best they want to engage I. Rigging and snatching of ballot boxes. They should know that without the soldiers, the elections will not be peaceful and that is a recipe for cancellation of the elections. Think wisely NIGERIANS.

Say no to rigging, violence and killing of Corp members. A sokoto high court does not have jurisdiction outside sokoto. It is only an Abuja high court that can issue such orders

You are a dumb fellow!!!!

both cases are not synonymous as they have nothing in common. The chibok girls were not voting when they were abducted.

Actually I don't see it that way. Military should focus strictly on their constitutional roles in which they are currently failing instead of adding more responsibilities on themselves.
The writers of the constitution who made it so aren't fools.

Are u insinuating that the law court which prohibits them from such erred in law? What do u know that the court doesn't? Police is protection of lives and properties. Military is protection from both foreign and local aggression. Can evil boko and elections be related together as local aggressors?
Please put on ur thinking cap.

The ruling of the court could be due to sentiments that's why court rulings can be appealed, meaning they are not always correct. You say local aggression; will aggression of any form not lead to the destruction of lives and properties?..is bokoharam a local aggressor? yes..are political thugs local aggressors? yes. seems like its you who is not thinking.

In other words, ur insinuation could also be wrong and the court decision right. pending hen a superior court overides this, soldiers are unwelcomed

That is why we have the police. in the event that the police has failed then u will bring in other security forces. The police havent failed. Equip them well enough and see them do wonders.

Re: Court: No Troops For Elections by Nobody: 4:24pm On Jan 31, 2015*

It is good to deploy Soldiers during elections to avoid story that touch. I still recall n view pix of corp members that was slaughtered during 2011 election. Even not at d election post but around the vicinity there is need 4 Soldiers in case of eventuality, I don't trust my northern brothers again. I don't like the way they waste the life of intellectuals of country like in 2011.

Very well, yes. But the expediency of the situation demands we have military presence at least in the supporting role they are playing now, lest we encounter a chaotic situation which could lead to a state of emergency in which the military would still have to be involved, but lives would have been lost by the time they are deployed.
