Try putting yourself in their. shoes. Fighting for two days without food?
.
Army top brass should keep denying, until one of them is actually killed by these angry soldiers.

keep quiet,what do you know about the army...where are the sojas strenght in perseverence,elasticity and endurance spirit @all times.A soja is not just a soja but the best of men,not in luxury but in elasticity of strenght.

So after taking the food items he took to them, they wanted to attack him because he had not brought it the previous day and is not as if they were aware of the reason for the delay.
This country is not yet matured for this democracy at all cos soldiers had gone through worse situations and no cases of mutiny.
Some of these military personnel are just civilians in military outfits.
I understand those their back packs and other pouches can carry some food items that will sustain them for some days.

If a military man cannot harness little opportunities, and doesn't have endurance and discipline to the extent of attacking a GOC because food was not supplied for one day for a reason they don't know, I wonder where exactly lies the difference between them and my fellow civilians who may soon start demanding for my head.

Kwayet! you have no feelings at all. Because they are soldiers, they should not eat. How would they have stamina to fight?

I thought thier training include how to endure hunger. Soldiers shall not live by bread alone.

Bro, the issue is not that supplies were cut off completely. But sometimes, in the interest of safety and achieving the set goals, there are things which need to be sacrificed. Ambushes/mines could be laid on expected routes and in situations like these, u have no choice but to create alternatives.
Why is no one asking why the food items were conveyed by air rather than by road? These are what should be asked.
Do u know most of the top military commanders in the north east are practically on their toes on issues relating to soldiers' welfare? Or u think they are not aware of the dire consequences of loosing control of their men?
If soldiers could revolt for cases like these, then where lies the endurance expected of a military personnel?
Where is the much trumpeted discipline in the armed forces? No food for two days and the GOC himself accompanied food food items to their location and by air, then the next thing is to start revolting. Are they civilians or paramilitary? What sort of nonsense is that?
Note also, I have friends and relations in the military out of which some are presently in that maiduguri and I will tell u that some of these things are exaggerations. Some of them are doing everything possible to be taken away from there and that is cowardice which is a serious offence in the military.
Finally, pls give me link(s) to mutinies in other countries due to less harsh conditions.

I hv been reading ur analysis so far, and I go with u, mines and ambush re Laid by the enemies along d possible land routes likely to be used by the military.
When u see Some young Nigerians aspiring to join the military, it is not as if they hv the morale to fight a battle n secure their country, itz because they want to brag about appearing in Khaki /military camouflage, I can remember when we were at NYSC orientation camp, they do deliberately cut off our water supply and banned against the use of water bottle on parade ground, their reason being that it z part of Endurance training even though we were only engaged with paramilitary training and man o war drills.
And the military in the other hand hv undergone more sophisticated training and discipline to endure in case they find themselves in a situation where there is no food or water.
To me that behaviour is unprofessional and against the ethics of military, it shows lack of discipline.
if I should be enlisted into the army 2day, I will just comfort my mother not to weep much any day she couldn't see me anymore, I may in addition get my girlfriend pregnant for my Remembrance. military requires sacrifices.
I do read Al Jazeera reports of wars in the Middle East, US, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Turkey, Afghan,etc have lost countless of soldiers in battle with terrorists recently, yet there re rare cases of mutiny if at all there is over there.
Though I am not in support of poor logistics supply to our military but they should not be scared to fight even in the face of death, Bc that is what military is all about and they sworn an oath to protect the integrity and sovereignty of the country even if it amounts paying the supreme price.

I won't argue since you have close relations in the army. But I think the welfare standard in our military is one of the poorest . we have heard a lot happening from moles within their ranks to lack of simple equipment such as night vision goggles.(late Colonel Ali).they aren't in some far away country. We should be able to supply our troops in NIGERIA.

Nothing is ever of high standard anywhere in Nigeria be it in the healthcare sector, education, banking and finance, housing and even the military but we have been living. This apparent lack in the military theatre does not in any way warrant an attack on your GOC, a whole Major General. That's wrong and brazen show of lack of discipline and endurance which is expected of any soldier in Sambisa after all they are not in a hotel.
That the GOC allegedly brought the items himself shows his intention to make the operation move on and douse tensions.
Those involved (if true) should be severely punished.
I can't even show resent and gross indiscipline to my line supervisor at the office without getting serious reprimand from Human Resources. The chain of command must never be broken.

People that cannot stay 30 minutes without esting something are here condemning our soldiers who can stsy one week in sambissa without food.

See this super idiot for humanity sake. Dey put guns in their hands to go fight without giving them food and water and what do you expect dem to do? Die at war front from starvation?? Their allowances not paid at all,d most courageous of us all being treated like animals. If u think its easy go and carry gun and go to sambisa forest if you will come back alive in d first place. Animal. D Nigerian military is one the BRAVEST on the entire planet. Few other soldiers around the world can stand what d Nigerian soldiers are going through and still fight. No food no water? Are you serious? Even for an ordinary person, dats a dire situation. Try not eating for at least 24 hours, idiot of d highest order and see where your body remains, den imagine being in dat state of hunger and weakness fighting dos wellfed and well equipped boko haram under d hot sun in d sambisa forest and u say d Nigerian soldiers are an insult? Am sorry I don't insult people but dis is too much. People who are sacrificing their own lives for the rest of us deserve something better. Pls don't comment again pls

Bro, u don't know how some soldiers behave. There are situations when movement of logistics items (food inclusive) poses a lot of danger and these soldiers are fully aware but rather than taking it the way it comes, u see them making mountains out of mole hills and because of this democracy (which we are not matured for) u will see many people who know nothing about the situation taking to social media spewing all manners of rubbish.
Okay, just look at the case in point, if things were normal, will food be transported by air rather than roads? And the GOC himself had to accompany the food. Why do u think a whole General should accompany food items meant for soldiers under normal situation? Bro, there are things that are not just right.
If a proper court Martial were to be held and appropriate punishment awarded, they will start behaving like orphans.
Note, I'm not justifying the situation of going for days in battle front without food but there a times when u can't help it.
I'm not a military personnel but I have had interactions with many disciplined soldiers who had gone for several peace-keeping missions both within and outside Nigeria.
Some of these personnel lack the basics of professionalism.

God bless whoever gave birth to you. Moving logistics on air, with a MJ on escort shows how sensitive the GOC is. This is very rare, that is if actually it happens.

Something might be wrong, but I feel for the soldiers. For the sake of the safety of this nation, a punitive measure should be implemented for future deterrence.

We might not be matured for this democracy, but Military Rule is not an option. I don't support you on that.

azimibraun:
Almost everything that happens in that theatre is pictured or videod in one soldiers phone or the other how come something like this will not be pictured or videod by any soldier all of a sudden? Not a single picture? Strange!

Because mutiny is a military crime punishable by death! So one of the soldiers should show faces of his colleagues? Think please

Zedoo:


You don't know what it means to watch your friends get killed . Or go for missions and not return... Then one idiot is busy flying up and down chilling in hotel while you are in the bush.... 5 good days without water....boko haram probably skirting around to ambush you....
Look you people should just keep quiet if you have nothing reasonable to contribute.. Other countries don't treat their soldiers in such manner ONLY in Africa... Those other countries their soldiers will willingly die... Here you go reason am.... One pot bellied idiot....who just has to get you water....which you might drink and get hit by the enemy bullet at the end of the whole thing is busy giving excuses for 5 days .. Dude.... Its like expecting Lionel messi to score every freekick because he has been training.... Real match Na another thing.... War front no be training.... Memories of lost colleagues, anger at enemies, anger at authorities whose mismanagement of intelligence has led to prolonged war and ambushes.... Bros you people should just skip threads like this or just read only.... So because persn Na Jesus Christ you go now rub am poo for face because E SUPPOSE to dey calm at all times.... Bro you are wrong

I must say you are very temperamental to have said I should keep quiet, or that I sounded unreasonable. I wonder why you were unable to read and fully comprehend the very little comment I made.
For the records, I was only reacting to the immediate cause of the mutiny, that food was delayed for 24hrs. Whether the troops are not well catered for is a discussion for another day. After all, I concluded my comment by saying the commanders have a long history of abuse of power so the mutiny is expected.

About whether I know how it feels to loss loved ones, I really don't know why you had to ask this....
Good evening

the mutiny will put them in jail and save them from getting slaughtered by boko

You are the biggest idiot ever, does it matter to you that no military service in the world can send out its army to battle with out making adequate provision for their welfare in this present age and time

You are a life time idiot, is it not the same military that showed it's bravery against unarmed protesters and when they meet armed insurrection they remember that they have not eaten for 24hours

Your idiocy has no comparison

Shut up! You go and fight without food for days knowing it's intentional and see how it feels.
The flip side though is why can't they leave the military honorably?

The officers will call it mutiny. Why do officers deliberately starve and send them to be killed all in the name of fighting war, only to collect their money to acquire properties abroad.

Tnk u bro. Am presently at the barracks in Maiduguri and am yet to hear any of such news. Most information being circulated by the media is false and from my interaction with peeps who have had first hand experience of this book haram saga, am made to believe that the present GOC is the reason why Maiduguri is safer than it used to be. I was in church with the GOC today and all I can say is that the people love him.

.

1. They were supplied by air, which is not d normal routine.why? My guess,is that circumstances did not favor usual routes,for delivery.
2. GOC accompanied d supplies, which means he takes the welfare serious
3.Soldiers are trained to have endurance and improvise in times like these
4. The delay was not more than 48 hours, which means it was not that bad
5. Use of an airforce craft requires clearance from d airforce hierarchy. Though they work together,clearance is still required. Even if u are a general, u cant just walk to a pilot and say "make we de go sambisa".
D army general used an airforce platform to deliver supplies, tells me he went to extra miles.
Kudos.
