Is This Right? [Nigeria Soldiers At It Again]! by mrcasanova1(m): 4:54pm On May 30, 2015 |
I wonder what our soldiers really think they are. Fine, they are brave, but shouldn't acts of bravery be displayed during war times (be it civil, international, against crime etc)? Here's a pathetic story... This afternoon, I was seeing a friend off, after he had come to pay me a visit. As we strolled down, headed for the junction, a young guy of same age bracket as us, moved swiftly towards us from the opposite direction and told us: "Chairman (addressing my friend), you better turn back o. Soldiers dey use bottle take barb people when get many hair for junction there". What he meant was that some soldiers had taken the job of hair stylists and barbers , using bottle to shave off the hair of guys rocking punk, "gallas", afro and all the trendy hair styles. And my friend grooms an "old school". We had to sharply turn back to the direction of my house, to avoid stories that touch. But I am really miffed. Do soldiers have the right to tell us the kind of hairstyle to go with? Do they have the right to shave off the hair of people who move about with "unseemly" haircut? And to think they do the shaving with a bottle! Such barbarism reeks. It's humiliating and out of place if you ask me. So what's your take? Please weigh in with your opinions and experiences. |

One thing I have noticed, its only the non-comissioned Officers like Sergeant, Private or Copral that does it. |

The NA needs proper orientation. You don't go about treating defenceless civilians like crap, just because you are weilding a rusty AK-47. Sometimes when I see their inhumanity to innocent people, I feel like confronting them. But knowing that is aking for trouble, I just maintain my lane. |

Arsenalholic:Lmao @ ''rusty Ak-47''. You are mean, bro. |

This is quite unfortunate coming from men of the Nigerian Army who should be protecting the people they have chosen to harass. This is common with non-commissioned officers and I believe these are some of the possible factors behind such barbaric actions: 1. Low self-esteem 2. Lack of adequate education/public etiquette 3. Over-zealousness 4. Culture of impunity Na only God...... |

In a sane environment, soldiers are sent only to the war fronts; and to the nation's territorial borders. It's only in nigeria that soldiers does the work of police. They shouldn't even be allowed to mount check points. They should all be sent back to the barracks |
