I hope someone does something about this paranoia that makes people react in the manner that the soldiers did. I hope those soldiers are court-martialled for their behavior.

Abysmally poor response. Not good enough at all.

The fellow beaten up by the soldiers (if this story is true) could have been killed. angry People's health problems are not written on their foreheads - people have been known to die from a single punch to the head or a kick to the stomach. And over what? A camera phone snapshot? angry

And so many posters on here are applauding the brutality of these soldiers - not for the first time and certainly not the last. But what goes round comes round - some of these same posters will have their stories to tell soon - possibly of fatalities arising from completely unnecessary army brutality. They will rue the words they have spoken here today.

Nigerians have to choose whether they wish to live like animals or civilized beings. That is a choice only they can make. No one else can make that choice on their behalf.

Dude, you cannot be taking pictures of individuals in their house or car/vehicle without their permission. It is called trespassing. We take a lot of things things for granted in Nigeria. People who upload pictures of others without their permission trespass and are liable to be sued.

Had it been you attended a military school, or were a military cadet, you will appreciate my comments. I am not talking about NYSC but proper military drills and training.

Do you know that military men mete out the gravest punishment to their children and wards when they misbehave. I remember one guy we wear one grey camouflage on top him karl kani jeans and timberland boots go Kobe barracks for Abuja. As de guy bounce enter, na so them accost am, tell am make him ride invisible stationary bike and frog jump before removing his shirt (he was accused of impersonation).

Conduct yourself when around military officers and they will respect you. They usually have a distaste for indiscipline.

I see u aren't reasoning well. In America, u can video cops in their line of duty as long as it doesn't interfere with their operations.

Nigerian soldiers are there to serve n protect if u don't know.

Ur comments echoes because u don't know ur right, not ur fault this is Nigeria.

What happened 2 the guy that did frog jump was because he was wearing their uniform which we all know it's wrong n impersonating!

A guy got beaten because he took a pic . How does that justify beatings? If the guy were ur brother, maybe u could have a rethink.

Now you've really got me going... angry

Go through some of the other posts on this thread. Slowly. The point was made very clearly that the offending picture (if indeed this whole story is true and not a fabrication) was taken in a public place and not on private property. Where is the trespassing here? Are there laws in Nigeria's statute books that forbid taking pictures in a public place? Are there laws that expressly forbid photographing military personnel on duty in the city centre? Answer that.

In your own words, 'people who upload pictures of others without their permission trespass and are liable to be be sued'. Did those soldiers explore that legally acceptable option? Brutalizing Nigerian citizens (and confiscating their cameras) represents 'taking legal action' in your book, right?

Spare me the irrelevant tales about your training drills or how military people brutalize their children and wards. I am not interested. Neither am I interested in your infantile gloating about how you and your cohorts stripped a Nigerian citizen (whose taxes by the way, buy your weapons, uniforms and boots) of his clothing on some dubious grounds of 'impersonation'. I am simply not interested. These stories say a lot about you and what you and your ilk stand for: angry The warped sense of entitlement. The idea that a military uniform is a licence to impunity. The complete lack of respect for civilian institutions - institutions from which the military actually derive legitimacy. I could go and on.

You have one job and one job only: to defend this country from internal and external threats. Nigerians want to know if you have delivered on this assignment in the North East over the last half decade.

Dude, they were not on the parade ground marching neither was it a ceremonial procession such as independence or armed forces rememberance day. If you feel aggravated, please go to Bonnt camp stand under the bridge and start taking pictures of the cantonment since it was built with tax payers money. I can assure you that you will frog jump from there to Costain and back irrespective of whose son you are (please note that we also pay taxes).

I have always said it that discipline needs to be installed in the fabric of our youth. Facebook, Twitter e.t.c have driven them to a high level of disregard. Our amiable General needs to restructure the NYSC programme into the Isreali system where compulsory military service is required to get any government position (appointed or elected). No special system for children of the wealthy.

I plead with you, do not take pictures of military men without their permission especially those with orderlies.

Make I invite you come officers mess come relax. grin
