Onliie: Sir conveying an impression is 1aspect covered under fraudulent misrepresentation, and that has to do with when the person who wears the uniform has an intention to mislead the public fraudulently and that is where section 109 comes to play,,however section 110 covers aspects where a person wears it for fun with no intent to mislead anybody and that is where the OP falls under,that is why the penalty for defaulting section 109 carries 1year imprisonment while section 110 carries 1month imprisonment. |

The rules or laws quoted above need to be updated. we are no longer in buhari/idiagbon era. Imagine a fine of 10 naira. our legislooters just sit all day in the national Assembly doing neffo. Soldiers are even meant to be in the barracks. But you see them all everywhere in lagos in their uniforms as if we are in a war. |

agohmamuda: A civilian putting on a camouflage is called " abuse of uniform". The law has been in existence for so long and as at last month the chief of Army staff warned against civilians, be it celebrities or who ever no to wear camouflage. Not to be worn for parties, performances, leisure or what so ever reason. There has to be discipline and a clear differentiation between civilians and military. God bless me and the Nigerian Army. I guess Nigeria is just sinking to a "new low", everyday! Why is it that most posters using the word "Army", along with the word "Camouflage" (as in "Army Camouflage"? To me, it seems there is a general assumption that the "Camouflage" (anything that is used for "deception" or 'stealth' ), BELONGS TO THE ARMY! It is only in Nigeria that the ARMY is DEFINED by "DESIGN OF A CLOTH" (which is what 'Camouflage cloth' is). Not wearing a Camouflage does not make you less of an Army, .........so wearing it ONLY, should not make you one or more of one. When "humans" lack substance, they begin to dwell on the inane"! I guess our Military have nothing else to "show-off" anymore, except "Camouflage Cloth"! You should recognize a "bloody Civilian" when you see one, even if he is dressed from head to toe in Military attire same as you should recognize a "Proper Military Machine", when you see one, even if he is just wearing a White T-Shirt and Black Sports pants! Its all about the "training, Discipline and mentality" But if our own Nigerian Army has become so debased that that all they have left to 'PROTECT AND PORTRAY' is Camouflage Cloth", then something is wrong with them. IGNORANCE, ABUSE OF POWER, OPPRESSION, INFERIORITY COMPLEX AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM IS WHAT IS WORRYING ANY SOLDIER THAT GOES ABOUT HARASSING ANYONE WEARING A CAMOUFLAGE CLOTH. Ask yourself: Why is it that the "real professional and war-fighting Armies" of the U.S.A and Europe/U.K dont harass their citizens and the general public for wearing Camouflage Cloth? Because they do not suffer from that inferiority complex that our own Nigerian Army (and generally despotic African Armies) suffer from. ...And to think that their "public love and worship" them like a God? I wear it, my kids have it as shoes, under-pants, T-shirts, e.t.c, my wife wears it and we move around in it without trying to "look like or imitate' any military personnel. l am waiting for the day when one "Overzealous Soldier" would try me....... Jobless Morons. Soldiers all over the world are the "bed-rock of development and research" in their respective countries, the only thing ours are noted for is "lazy talk, pepper soup and beer ... and harassment of sheepish and docile civilians"! Tell me one single invention pioneered by Nigerian Military? Tell me one Single Project they have undertaken from start to finish, ...even if it is a "small bridge"? It is only peeps with "insecurity issues" that project aggression and turn to BULLIES on "weaker people"! That is how those Army boys come across, to me. By the way, the section of the constitution that was "quoted" refers to 'Military Uniform" and never said "Camouflage Cloth". So, how do you "interpret" a camouflage Cloth to mean military Uniform?

You wouldn't expect any less from them (especially the illitrate recruits) I recently returned from Europe where I bought and wore camo shirts and dog tag (obviously not military issue) without anybody asking questions or harassing me. Just this last friday, I went to the bank to carry out a transaction and I noticed most of the customers there were young military officers (small children fah!); immediately I left, 5 of them trailed me outside, stopped me and demanded that I identify myself. Because I didn't know who they were, I asked them to do so first and none of them could; I then asked if there was any issue but they didn't (rather couldn't) respond. Next thing I know, a 6th person just came out of the bank and shouted "Comot am joor!", one of them just cut my dog tag and they all walked away. Meanwhile, it wasn't as if I was wearing any military apparel (I was wearing a white shirt on a blue jean with my work safty boots o) or was I claiming to be a military officer in any way, the reason they did it, I don't know. Anyway, instead of causing a scene, I just walked away, called the branch manager of the bank who stopped all transactions to them and insisted they release the tag to him or else he will not attend to them again until they gave him the tag. Imagine that kind of harassment from mofos, who couldn't express themselves properly, just because they were given khaki and are being paid from tax payers money - part of which I contributed to o - in my own country. 2 Likes |

Fadelex: there was a thread like this last year and a guy was claiming human right. the camouflage is their uniform, plz steer clear of it. so many people are using camouflage to harass fellow civilians while some are using it to perpetrate evil. CHAPTER 12 Corruption and abuse of office 98. Official corruption: public official inviting bribes, etc., on account of own actions. 98A. Official corruption: person giving bribes, etc., on account of actions of public official. 98B. Official corruption: person inviting bribes, etc., on account of actions of public official. 98C. Restrictions on arrest and prosecution of judicial officers for offences under sections 98 to 98B. 98D. Meaning of “public official” in sections 98 to 98B. 99. Extortion by public officers. 100. (Deleted by 1966 No. 84). 101. Public officers interested in contracts. 102. Officers charged with administration of property of a special character or with special duties. 103. False claims by officials. 104. Abuse of office. 105. False certificates by public officers. 106. Administering extra-judicial oaths. 107. False assumption of authority. 108. Impersonating public officers. 109. Impersonating members of Armed Forces or Police. 110. Unlawfully wearing of the uniform of the Armed Forces. 111. Selling, etc., uniform, etc., to unauthorised persons. Is that what you're referring to? Is this the law you people are using to approve a soldier sexually assaulting a civilian on the streets. Unless there is more than this to support what this soldier did I truly feel sorry for Nigerians |

Who are these people chanting " do you know what they passed through". Arghh! Pls save it! What did they pass through that has made them an immortal? So because they were subjected to rigorous training before they could become who they're, has automatically given them the outright license to harass civilians. If that's the case then I think US should be the first to enforce it on her citizens. Have you seen documentary on US Military training? Not to talk of that of SEALS'. All those naija army wey dey do gragra nor go survive one day in their camp. Every career, every profession has what it takes. Same thing can be said of the academia. Do you know what it takes to be a PhD holder? Yet you see politicians, biz moguls and celebrities honored with same. Dr. Atorise, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, Dr. Dangote. Don't you think those genuine Drs who spent 6yrs with a lot of intellectual perturbation from one research to the other just for their thesis to be approved should also be crazy and animalistic enough to strip anyone who didn't pass through any stress but honored of their title. That is If we want to look at it from the angle of "what they passed through". I know many people would want to argue that physical training can't be compared with that of intellectual. But have we forgot so soon that some of these Academic run mad during the course of their researches. Some get traumatized emotionally too. In short NO PROFESSION is easy. Nothing GOOD comes EASY The truth is both the person honored with a degree and the civilian who wears a camo can never possess the same cognitive,intellectual ability and tactics like those ones who worked to earn it. Academia and Armies alike. So what you possess is what should distinguish you! However, You're undoubtedly not in the same level with that person that envies and imitate you, hence no reason harassing them to prove your ingenuity. Save for security reason esp in this part of the world, I can agree it should be discouraged. But you and I both know those military guys only do it to oppress cos they see themselves like gods. 1 Like |

wheesin: I was just passing by this afternoon... Unfortunately i was putting on a camouflage... Suddenly i was approached by a soldier holding a golf club... He pointed it at me and was shouting at me... I really didn't understand what he meant.. He chased me with the golf club and told me to pull off the shorts... I was really embarrassed because it was in a very condensed area.... I was putting on boxers underneath. I had to pull it off and i was queried on why i wore it.. Then i was told to go home with my boxers on... I found this very disgraceful.. If you listen to the news you will hear that the army have repeatedly warn people against using camo. |
