In civilized countries civillians wear camo and nobody harass them, but in Nigeria, even a coward of a soldier that can not face the laziest bokoharam member will form Anthony Joshua for you once they see you with ordinary handkerchief made of camo. What an uncivillised set of people!..


But wait oooo, no be female soldier be that? Olosho too de torture, e don finish patapata

The military has expressly said, don't wear camou... Can you face bokoharam if they equipped you with weapon

ObaKlaz:
I just want to ask... In situations like this, I mean police/military impunity, can one retaliate by using his martial arts (Kungfu) skills for self-defense?

lol...and you just got your self a free medical treatment at the nearest teaching hospital.....

jrusky:
Pls this is not funny ok. Personally I don't support the idea of wearing Camo when someone is not a millitary man beside the army has warned about this dress code severally but my problem with these army dudes is what about those nonsense celebrity wearing Camo up and down can t they descend on them, Why the double standard treatment?

Don't wear Camo is don't we eat Camo it does not matter who you are and that is how it should be.

In America, UK etc it might not mean anything wearing Camo but the millitary said No in Nigeria why can't people just listen?

Pls read my post before quoting me wrongly. I'm not supporting beating anyone up for wearing Camo all I'm saying is dealing with Camo offender should cut lacrosse's every level not all these handpicking stuff they are doing.

....baba dsame thing goes too them the other day wizkid was caught..... he did frog jumb at the road side ....but they where quick too delete the video on nijaloded for people not too see.....same thing hose too jmike in abuja....he was telling them he was a celeb...(weting consing recruited army with celeb...person way him blood still day hot of all the suffering he receive for camp).... he was told too lay down by the road side...

Guys need to DEFINE what a MILITARY ATTIRE IS.....before quoting USA and other countries.

For example, wearing a Nike Camo-Sneakers CANNOT and DOES NOT make you look like or become a military personnel, in the USA or in any sane country.
Most people dont even know what is "significant" in claiming to be a military personnel?
it is the Special belt, the Pips, the Cap with the Insignia, the military Boots, the design of the Camo-uniform, e.t.c that forms the "military Attire"

We need to educate the military rank-and-file and the populace in general, on how to identify or "mis-identify" a person who claims to be military!
The current situation where soldiers just brutalize a civilian because he wears a Camo-TShirt or Camo-Sneakers or even a Camo-shorts is borne out of COWARDICE and l say this with all sense of responsibility. Why brutalize someone that is not a danger to you?

If you say you are trying to prevent Boko Haram members wearing military attire so they can impersonate soldiers, then we have to re-train our soldiers on the public, on how to identify a soldier.
If a Boko Haram member wears say a Camo-sneakers and claim to be a "Captain in the military", will any "informed person" or Soldier take him seriously or believe him?
What l am saying is that it takes more than wearing a Camo-TShirt or a Camo-Knickers or Camo-Sneakers, to claim to be a military personnel.
All Civilians know this, Soldiers know this but the need to BRUTALIZE unarmed civilians, by some COWARDS in the military (who hide under military uniforms) is what feeds all these hullaballoo that we are seeing.
If you want to impersonate a Soldier, you need to wear A MILITARY ATTIRE.
An ATTIRE (as stated in the statutes of most countries we quote), is different from an ARTICLE.
A military ATTIRE consists of the Camo-Uniforms, the special belt, the Pips, the Cap with the Insignia, the military Boots, e.t.c. You have to wear all or more than one of these items TOGETHER, for it to make an ATTIRE.

There are obvious situations where one can deduce immediately, that the wearer of a Camo is not trying to impersonate a Soldier
(I have seen stupid Soldier trying to challenge a 10yr old cousin of mine for wearing Camo-shirt knickers ONLY that l bought for him! I asked him if it made sense to him, that the 10yr old Boy was trying to IMPERSONATE to be a military personnel or whether he has 10yr old boys of his age, in his regiment? He then asked if he may "know me" and l told him to show me his "Pass" before l can answer any question from him, being that we were in a public place at that time? Soldier got the drift, gave me full compliments and l discharged him with a warning to "use his sense and not harass civilians unnecessarily".

The Solution to the problem is EDUCATION.
Civilians must be told never to wear military ATTIRE......... as in "Attire".

Soldiers must be educated (l said "Soldiers", not "Officers" because Officers know this already) on what constitutes a "military ATTIRE" as opposed to just wearing a camo-ARTICLE......which is not an attire and does not constitute wearing a military attire with the intent of IMPERSONATION.
If you wear a Camo in the US or other Western countries and you dont "add" other paraphernalia of the military that makes it "A Military ATTIRE", then you have not broken any law. That is the American Soldiers and authorities using their brain because they know that you cant impersonate the military by just wearing a Camo-Sneakers or t-Shirt.

Finally, Soldiers, (especially the cowards among them who take pride in brutalizing unarmed civilians) must be disciplined by the MP, anytime a case of civilians brutality is established against them. they must be educated to know that the military itself, cannot survive without the "love and Support" of the civilian population!
One of the reasons we are still failing in the fight against Boko haram is because the civilian population does not TRUST and SUPPORT the Soldiers in the field. How can someone you brutalize for the flimsiest excuse, trust and support you?
The "Power and Authority" of a Soldier does not lie the the harassment and brutalization of civilians (that is not what Soldiers are trained to do!) but in the protection and care of such civilians, even when they err, you can correct them with respect because "Respect begets Respect"

God bless the Nigerian military!

Well said

planetx:
Totally untrue that it is illegal to wear camo in the US, it is sold openly in stores and anyone can wear it without harassment. The law you are quoting says US military attire and insignia which is different from camo worn for fashion purposes.

Jaqenhghar:
Bullshit. A man who has love for his uniform and knows his job will not abuse it by acting like an agbero while wearing it. Will they say they love the uniform more than their American counterparts? Stop trying to justify shity behaviour please. Lets cal it for what it is. Its just an opportunity to harrass and intimidate people. Simple.

The way you talk shows who the agbero really is. Go and wear a camouflage and walk pass officers mess. Them go panel beat your brain back to factory settings.

I dey tire for una matter. This is why your country is neck deep in misery. Why are you addressing me? Am I the one who was beating the man? Why dont you channel your anger in the right direction? Fight for your rights even if you die in the process. Stop being cowardly.

Ablemax:
oga abeg answer me china na nigeria

oga abeg answer me Nigeria nah hell fire?? Ghanians, Ivorians and all other African countries dey wear am and nothing dey happen, what does it change if a civilian wears a camo? Does it In anyway affect the military Nigerians and their primitive thinking....

Jaqenhghar:
I dey wear camo and nothing dey happen so dont worry about me. Worry about yourself

Lolxx... I no need to worry because nothing on earth go make me wear camouflage because other designers cloth yapa wey I fit buy wear

Supermajor:
That's why someone rightly say, u earned the uniform not buy it..... Believe u me most people making noise up and down on nairaland might even behave worse dan that lady is once they put on that uniform

Well..If you put it like this, I have no choice but to Agree.

Very nicely put. The problem is Most Nigerians belie

fernandez1:
Naija na zoo.........here in the state wear whatever u like ..... It's freedom of wear

Well, in the States, soldiers cannot arrest anybody. Only the Police can. In the States, the Military can only be seen but not heard. A soldier cannot do 'stop and search'. They are basically like civilians.
But in Nigeria, they have given themselves a lot of powers which in normal societies, belong to the Police.
So, in essence, it is dangerous to allow civilians to wear military camouflage in a country like Nigeria. People should understand that. We need to know who is really a soldier or police.
I'm sure you can observe that in the States, civilians are not allowed to wear Police uniforms, because of the powers they wield.

Classickj:
can u face d so call Boko haram if them give u gun

yeye zombie soijas...na only for civilians una power reach.......

grayht:
I still rock my camouflage in as much i pay my tax..
Nonsense!

I hope it is not in Nigeria that you still rock your camouflage. If it is US or Europe, why don't you also rock your Police uniform.
You people need to understand why civilians should not be allowed to wear military uniform in Nigeria. In Nigeria, the military wields powers that should normally be the exclusive preserve of the Police.
Because of that camouflage, that guy can enter commercial vehicles free. He can slap people around. He can carry out illegal arrest and extort the victims. Everyone will think he is a Soldier.

Lukgaf:
It is only in Nigeria I have seen soldiers beating people for wearing what looks like their cap or uniform.

Whereas, we have seen and learnt some countries of the world do not mind this.

In those countries that allow it, the Army has little or no power at all, except to go fight wars outside the country.

Only a scumbag, oloriburuku eda will find this funny

This is barbaric behavior

Wearing camouflage is a crime in Nigeria.

He has broken a law. Arrest him and charge him to court, stop jungle justice!!

Two words...

Archaic thinking...
