No network is most deep field bro...Even some of the Airtel they take to some areas is better you just shout with your voice from the NE field base to Lagos

Stephandesward:
I dont know why you people assume military officers want people to know they are officers, I'm yet to see a regular officer, that will go about creating awareness he is an officer, those guys have learnt right from NDA to be discrete unless problem comes calling, forget the clowns blocking road.

About the guys saying cadets and officers maltreat people, it's a personal things, of recent in the news , a former minister of state, stripped his staffs naked, he was a civilian, same way I have met NDA officers that are cooler than civilians.

You all should shut up, about what you people don't know about, the military doesn't build robots, you would probably not last long in the military if you aren't smart, and want to be a robot.


Leave military issues for military, and go back the unauthorative guessing whatever most of you are.

DSS Director-General, Bichi, Conducts Secret, Uneven Recruitment Into Agency With North Getting 535 Slots, South 93

Official documents and contributions of senior intelligence officials showed that the North had a massive share of the roughly 1,300 Nigerians currently undergoing cadet training at two different camps of the secret police in Lagos and Bauchi.

Yusuf Bichi, Director-General of the Department of State Services, has activated a lopsided hiring process that could overfill the security agency with personnel from the Northern part of Nigeria.

According to an online tabloid, Peoples Gazette, official documents and contributions of senior intelligence officials showed that the North had a massive share of the roughly 1,300 Nigerians currently undergoing cadet training at two different camps of the secret police in Lagos and Bauchi.

Of the total 628 cadet trainees, who had resumed at the Bauchi facility as of September 23, 535 identified themselves as trainees joining the service from either the North-East or the North-West.

Only 93 were from either the South-East, South-South, South-West or North-Central, according to recruitment filings sighted by the newspaper.

Findings also showed that at least 71 of those currently undergoing cadet training hailed from Bichi Local Government Area, Kano State, the Director-General’s home local government area.

Officials said the number was more but the newspaper could not independently confirm the higher figures as well as a slew of other disturbing allegations of bigotry against Bichi prior to this publication.

In Lagos, multiple participants including senior officials, said Bichi disregarded the federal character concept and skewed the process for Nigerians from the North.

A top official estimated 708 trainees were at the Lagos training facility as of September 26.

Officials were unsure how many people were taken as cadet trainees in total because some were still arriving three weeks into the six-month exercise.

Senior intelligence officials said even though the sectional disparity mirrors Nigeria’s reality under President Muhammadu Buhari, they are nonetheless worried that the development could potentially tip the ethnic and religious balance of national security in favour of a section of the country for decades.

“Some of us are worried less about the audacity of focusing on one part of the country to bring in new cadets than we are about its long-term implications,” a senior SSS official told the Gazette via a secure video channel last week.

“We know he might find it difficult, but the DG would leave a better legacy if he sees himself first as a Nigerian.”

In July, the Yellow House sent out a memo to all state and FCT commands, informing them that Bichi had ordered a fresh round of recruitment for the agency’s next generation of intelligence officers.

He directed that each state command should conduct a rigorous selection process and forward four successful candidates to the headquarters for possible admission into the service.

All commands were said to have complied with the directive, conducted a thorough selection of four candidates and sent the results to the headquarters.

But shortly after the candidates were cleared and sent to the headquarters before the July 15 deadline contained in the memo, Bichi seized the moment and initiated a recruitment process of his own.

On September 1, Bichi told a few officials at the Yellow House to call people from a prepared list and offer them a role at the SSS.

Those, who were called, were immediately asked to go to the Lagos or Bauchi training school, officials said.

Starting September 8, cadet candidates reported for training in Lagos and Bauchi, in some cases without the awareness of the director of state security in the state they applied from, documents and officials said.

Bichi kept the list of those he had been sending to the training school secret, officials said.

It was unclear how many people he intended to recruit but they kept showing up.

He also kept the process largely to himself, making it difficult for insiders to access his list or the criteria with which he was selecting cadet candidates.

Bichi’s regional recruitment agenda came three years after his predecessor implemented a similar hiring process that failed to reflect Nigeria’s diversity.

and you think he can say no when they come calling?

Most of those animalistic and dehumanizing training has been abolished.
Tho it's no news that most officers and soldiers enjoy seeing people suffer and the only justification is to rebrand wickedness and call it training.

This is why you see cadets behaving like terrorist every time they get little break from the academy. You see them blocking federal high ways and beating up civilians with little or no provocations.
Even when this brutalization is reported to academy authorities, nothing is ever done.

Now imagine cadets from west point blocking a federal high way in Washington DC. I can bet my left balls that those cadets are getting discharged and charged appropriately for the crime.

But nah. A decorated officer of a federal army is here on a public forum trying to justify dehumanization and brutalization.


Even the S.E.R.E program y'all are referring to is not practiced in academy level in the US. .

They blockaded the roads leading to the Volta region
They say they want their Western Togoland back championed by the Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF). They've been training soldiers for years now; arrests are usually made but nothing comes of it. The Ghana government apparently doesn't want to handle the group with a tough fist, they are hoping the group will die a natural death; bad idea. Now they've sacked a police station and carted away guns and ammunition, blockaded the roads leading to the Volta region claiming independence, saying they did not agree to be part of Independent Ghana ab initio.

The Volta region where HGSF is domiciled is majority EWE people, they constitute about 13% of the country

distinct from the AKAN people who are the majority in the south and constitute about 57% of the country

GA people control central Accra, where Ghana's capital lies.

Current president Nana Akufo Addo identifies as GA

Current past president John Mahama also contending in upcoming elections identifies as NORTHERN

President before him was John Atta Mills identifies as AKAN

Longest ruling president Jerry John Rawlings identifies as EWE

His Majesty DF Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI is the Osu Mantse or King of the GA people of Osu in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana,
he is the King that allegedly ordered the demolition of the Nigerian building not too long ago.

we are waiting to see how the Ghana government deals with this issue. Lets see if their gra gra is for real.
about 19 persons were arrested out of the hundreds that participated in the demonstration. airlifted to the capital.

I have this strong feeling that he isn't. Don't know why.

iboboyswag:


There are plenty of ways to kill a dog... Ghana bit more than it can chew when they decided to launch verbal, physical and corporate attacks on us.

Let them deal with some of our problems.

Lots of people forget that this is still Africa... Dissidents would always exist, and causing trouble for anybody requires only little effort.

Litmus:


I suspect that if the Volta region press only even moderately, Ghana would concede to them. It seems to me that somehow Ghanaian leaders have come to believe that Ghana gains much at Nigeria’s expense. They would be calculating that ceding the Volta region would give more impetus to separatist movement in Nigeria. In order words, the opportunity cost of fomenting more trouble for Nigeria is disengaging Volta. They are a simple and pompous people that would want to posture in the worlds eyes as intelligent civilised beings able to avert issues of national existence at the negotiation table.

In reality they are likely incapable of waging war with any rebel groups especially sustaining such; in any case, not at this crucial stage to them, when it seems as if all is going their way, for instance Nigeria’s international negative news drawing to them more investment and especially positive ratings they don’t deserve. The negativity associated with insecurity of fighting rebel groups is too much. The risk to their economy and false great image would be too far.
