According to court, the use of soldiers at the polls is "unconstitutional and anti-democratic"  39 Likes 1 Share |

Sanchez01:The courts can go to hell; Soldiers will be deployed! We must deploy soldiers all over Lagos to cripple tinubu's games. Defaulters will receive a haze of bullets and dispatched to the afterlife. A word is enough for the wise. 89 Likes 7 Shares |

EUROBOMBER:How many Soldiers can cover the length and breadth of Lagos alone let alone the entire country? What will happen to the Boko Haram flashpoints where they are truly needed? Think bro, you have a brain for a reason. Make it useful. 81 Likes 2 Shares |

seunlayi:As much as I would have loved it as well, the PDP and GEJ have abused this and caused the military to fall below par immediately elections come to mind. The decision of the court, apart from the "unconstitutional and anti-democratic" chant could be as a result of the #EkitiGate scandal. 15 Likes |

I do not care what you guys do, so long as no one scales into my compound on that date, i will not disturb you people with your votes. When you guys are done and the dust settles, we will see who has been more efficient in rigging and the game continues. 6 Likes |

who is afraid of soldiers... it is well known that Nigerians fear and respect the military more than the police. soldiers must be used to prevent the violent ones from succeeding in whatever they have planned. a law abiding citizen wont be afraid of the military men on election day. that judgement must be appealed 10 Likes |
