The Nigeria military is filled with cowards, only powerful when facing unarmed civilians, that's the only time they are always gallant

A useless military struggling against a ragtag boko haram in Nigeria territory.

And some fools over here will be comparing this incompetent military with that of SA, what an insult

Its ludicrous of you to ascribe the actions of a few to others.

GeneralFarouq post=7396.3436:
So what u are saying is, everyone in the military deserves to be killed by Boko haram for the actions of the few....
Such a pity, i doubt if any of Uramily member has served in any security agency....

Read again, I never said anyone deserves to be killed, i only said I dont sometimes feel pity.

I've witnessed their brutality and its too bad

Sure no need to use overwhelming force when faced with crowds like that, at the same time we have certain groups in that country that have no respect for the rule of law nor respect the right of others to their property.
Some people in that crowd were throwing stones, and soldiers do have the right to self defense, but when assailants are mixed with unarmed civilians, it become dicey , but such force shouldn't have been used, kicking and beating people like that is part of the unprofessionalism we've been talking about, all they had to do was detain those they caught and take them to custody, no need for the assault.
Both sides are at fault here.
If told to disperse ,why not respect that? Instead of literally trying to overrun men with guns, what did you think was gonna happen?
What would you do if hundreds of angry people descend on your position? Fight hand to hand? They used the only tool they had, that was their gun. Not saying anything here was right, but both sides are to blame, you can't attack or confront armed troops and expect them to stand there and watch while being stoned to death.

CaptainStephen:

I wouldn't bother trying to reason with certain people here. Boko Haram and other terrorist and not well meaning organisations are succeeding in their propaganda and turning people against each other.

There are thousands of soldiers in the North East fighting bravely, but no, base everything on a few terrorist edited videos.

The same soldiers will be there whatever political party is in power. The security services recruit from the populace. Maybe Nigerians should look in the mirror.

If the NPF was such a reliable entity, the soldiers could easily have called them to send their Anti-Riot

Anyway, in this land everyone is less concerned about an anomaly until it comes to drill their behind.

Then I say my famous ( ) cry; Who do us dis tin?

Buhari's administration is controlled by extremist Sunni cabals. That was why they could easily send Guards Brigade to perform their dirty jobs. Nigerian Police would have handled the brainwashed and suicidal shia protesters much better but they had to send heavily armed soldiers. These people keep bringing shame to the country.

Demonstrations should be policed by anti-riot Police and a lot of armed banditry around the country by MoPo and CT/COIN
Police units.

The .militarily is for external aggression and internal insurrection. More investment in the Police and other para-military agencies is badly needed.

Couldn't agree more

I don't if anybody has ever seen things like this before, that if Nigeria does get it's acts together, Boko Haram would be a childs play compared to what the country would be facing in future,
to the north of Nigeria is the entire Arab world where anything can happen at anytime, what happen when all the weapons of Algerian and Egyptian armies suddenly falls in the wrong hands, not to talk of morroco, Sudan, Chad, remnants of Isis, there is a Chinese military base in Djibouti.
There was a time CNN talked about Boko Haram reaching Lagos, many folk on beegeagles blog and here looked at it as a far cry, but if you take geophysical map and look at Nigeria's position, you would see how vulnerable the country really is, but I am not even sure an average Nigerian looks at maps the only thing they know is their state of origin

“It is with a heavy heart that I regretfully announce the unfortunate demise of former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, who died today, 18 Dec 18, from gunshot wounds sustained when his vehicle was attacked while returning from his farm along Abuja-Keffi Road

On behalf officers, airmen and airwomen of the Nigerian Air Force, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar, commiserates with the family of the late former Chief of Defence Staff over this irreparable loss. We pray that the Almighty God grants his soul eternal rest“

Unbelievable!

What are we playing at?? Next it will be the president, just killed like a common thief and left on the roadside, half naked, because we refuse to take security seriously....or is this something to do with political intrigue??

Litmus:
Unbelievable!

Very, this is a former chief of defense staff, his security detail is permanent (sticks with him although downsized) even after retirement.

CaptainStephen:

The Nigeria Federal government and the military hierarchy must have heard about it and also saw some videos when it happened cause it was reported in the news...how many of this few has been prosecuted?

We are putting fire in our bosoms and expecting not to be burned.

Who do us the thing sef

GeneralFarouq:
U are senseless, if u are man enough why don't u fight against even the unarmed civilians and see how easy.....Oni ranu

See the dumb and foolish question this dirty thing is asking me

Did I forced them to join the Nigerian army

Were they force to join the Nigerian army

I can never join a useless military organization that start paying a military personnel that serve the Army for more than 20 years his pension one year after he retired, the WO2(retired) has been paying some of the debt he found himself in because some generals don invest him pension

I can't serve an Army that most of is barracks can only be compared to a piggery

I can't serve an Army that takes advantage of females in IDP camp

And finally I can't join a military that are only galant when is time to kill and fight unarmed civilians, this same military do perform woefully against militants in the creek( the FG is still paying militants till today), cattle rustlers, herdsmen and the lord of the Nigerian army Boko Haram

I dont know much about his security details, but in their defense, some people prefer to go to farm without their details. I am very aware of 3 guards for a high ranking military officer (still serving). He likes to go hunting with his dane gun, and creates all sort of logistical issues for the boys.
It seems to me Badeh was well in his comfort zone, from the pictures. Also, he must be driving a bulletproof car, so he probably voluntarily opened the door to the assailants.

That's the achievement of Buhari in 3 years. A country completely destroyed.

A country were Major Generals and Chiefs of Defence Staff can be murdered like common fowl.

A country were our biggest achievement is MRAPs built by Proforce.

A country that has collapsed.

That's a disgusting thing to say, his pot belly? You posted a picture of a man who has just being victimized, killed and you are making fun of his belly? Seriously? That's effed up dude. Regardless of what he did or didn't do, no need for such senseless remark.
I don't know the man, and don't support any political party, before anyone think I'm Buhari's forgotten son

bro no one came out of nowhere to shoot the man.
It must be those he wronged directly or indirectly that must have came to clap back at him.
His goons will sure go for the culprits and directly or indirectly settle the scores. Then the game goes on and on.
As for his potbelly, that was just an observation. No strings attached. No puns intended.

Sometimes I wonder how we take everything to be politics. Things like this have been a long time coming. This country is awash with guns, likely because of the conflict in the north east and the militancy in the south south. It did happen after the civil war. This man might have been assinated, the question is by who? Maybe aggrieved family members of slain military men in the north east that feel he should be in jail but moving freely. It could also be a robbery attempt, it's been happening everywhere, this one is just a high profile person.

Alex Badeh (1957-2018): The Man Who Flew Two Former US Presidents And Received A Recognition From Koffi Anan

Alex Sabundu Badeh, born January 10, 1957, was a retired four star flag officer of the Nigerian Air force who served as the 18th Chief of Air Staff (October 4, 2012 – January 16, 2014).

He was the 15th Chief of Defence Staff of the armed forces of Nigeria (January 16, 2014 to July 13, 2015).

Badeh was born in Vimtim, Mubi Local Government Area of Adamawa State, North East Nigeria into a family of peasant farmers.

He attended Vimtim Primary School, Vimtim and went on to obtain his school certificate from Villanova Secondary School in 1976 before proceeding to the Nigerian Defence Academy

Alex Badeh was admitted into the Nigerian Defence Academy as a member of the 21 Regular Course on 3 January 1977, and was commissioned Pilot Officer on 3 July 1979. He commenced his flying career at the 301 Flying Training School on the Bulldog Primary Trainer aircraft in 1979.

He holds an M.Sc. degree in Strategic Studies from the University of Ibadan.

Air Marshal Badeh was promoted Air Vice Marshal on 3 January 2008.

Badeh was Commander of the Presidential Fleet, during the Olusegun Obasanjo's presidency. The Presidential Fleet Crew flew around the world frequently and by 2002, Badeh logged over 6000 flying hours shuttling VIPs, dignitaries, top government officials and Heads of State.

He was given the green light to fly former United States Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter on different occasions after extensive check was done by the United States Secret Service.

Badeh’s professional dexterity on duty earned him commendation and an autographed pen from Koffi Anan and the then UN Secretary after flying him to an official trip.
