I can't believe that this Ogoni killer of 1993 is still thriving in the army when in saner climes. he should be facing a war crimes tribunal. Unbelievable!

Them go still promote some of the 51 to death..

Bolo, when Azazi was stealing arms and ammunitions from the Nigerian army and selling to Niger delta millitants, were u asleep?

late gadafi of Libya said if u water see general come to nigerian. dat is truth. more theft promoted in army

How dare a whole bunch of brave generals/colonels allow this retardinho-slowpoke gej to head them? does this look like fishing to him?

I suggest they shld just detain him there and take ova thru a bloodless coup.

house sorry for my first post. late gadafi said if u wat to see generals come to nigerian and that is truth. more promoted theft in de army.

Middle belt.

Mcdondayan: These men should be promoted after success in the battle field.

Which battlefield? So non of these officers should progress up the ranks during peacetime, like EVERY OTHER MILITARY AROUND THE WORLD?

whc battle 9ja wan go fait??

musiwa10: this na bribe.. now what is title.. Title is of no value to a man..

Ok if I no more call you colonel, i now call you general.. How does that improve your life.. So Just because they stop calling someone Colonel and now call him general.. so you think that is promotion.. I think you are sick.. title is of NO VALUE my friend..

Do you have any bloody idea what it takes to get promoted or become a General in the Army's merit based system? You think it's beans? If you have family friends that are Col. or Brig. Gens, ask them about Staff College, NIPSS, or War College.

Please provide proof the late Gen. Azazi, former CAS,CDS, and NSA, sold weapons to ND terrorists (weapons used to kill his OWN men and innocent civilians). If you can't, SHUT THE Bleep UP.

How dare your mom gave birth to a slowpoke like you, when she could have easily aborted the pregnancy and spared the world from your stupidity? Have you forgotten that GEJ is not just the President of the Federal Republic, but also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces? You know what that means, right?

A family friend he is ! I'm so happy for him...

I wished Brig Gen R.O. Yusuf could be given his Maj.Gen, but alas he wasn't.

Long Live the Nigerian Army..

Indeed victory is from GOD alone !

I believe he doesn't, but needless to say, what does GEJ know about the Military ?

Like a General was telling me early this month, "GEJ just performs routine duty of allocation of monthly allowance."

I don't care from which locality the next GCAF comes from, all I want is improved welfare package for our soldiers in the 3 arms, and the entirety of Nigeria.

Long live the Sovereign federation of Nigeria....

Thank God i'm not the first person to bring sentiment into the Nigerian Military. The Islamic Organization of Nigeria started it after two prominents Soldiers (Muslims) were sacked in Kaduna State last Month. God will surely defeat you people and every Boko Haramist soldiers in the North in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen! You guys are losing...
