jayokla: Yes, they are doing a great job protecting we civilians, but that doesn't mean they should 'vent their anger' on innocent civilians. I and some of my friends were beaten mercilessly by a soldier somewhere in Ondo State some months back in a bar ( A public place), our offence? one of us was snapping pictures and the flash 'affected' his eyes, he wasn't even dressed in any cloth that would make one think he's a soldier, next thing we heard was 'stop it', and we were like 'ah, ah, oga, why u con shout on us like that na, we no be pikin na'... in my quest to divert my other angry friends(who were still grumbling, as normal omo boy go do na) from his case, i started a completely different gist, and we forgot what had happened, few minutes later, a pick up with about 6 soldiers just rounded us up, inside the bar, and started slapping us, they later took us to their base and stripped us naked and he started beating us with heavy sticks, asked us to swim inside mud, he was doing all these while drinking Red Label and was smoking, heavily drunk, threatening us that he was going to kill us before dawn, that if our father was jonathan, he wouldn't be able to save us that night! he was commanding the other guys (apparently he was a superior officer) to subject us to different punishments...the hotel manager later came to plead on our behalf and he kept on saying 'ohhh, you for allow me kill these people naa'! I wish i can just meet someone today who can take up this case on my behalf because i can still locate the base they took us to. Sorry to bore you with this long epistle, bottomline is, Soldiers are doing a great job, but they tend to go to the extreme, most times!But why are Nigerians so used to this kind of mistreatment, nobody forced anybody to join the army, nobody was drafted, you volunteered. So you cannot come and take out your frustration on me, cause I never send you to go join the army, these can only happen in societies were the citizens are disarmed, what a shame. And these dude is still saying they are doing a great job after all the beating lol, Nigerians are something else I tell you, I hope the bastard gets posted to Borno state and he will get the justice he deserved. God bless America, were the citizens are armed to the teeth, my kind of country. |

My suggestion is that you disembark and deliver a resounding slap to the cheek of that cheeky soldier, but don't forget to ask him this question first - " Do you know who you are talking to ?" @Jakumo, cowards like you only imagine things they wish they could do and never getting to do the things themselves ![]() ![]() @Op, Depends on where the military check point is sited and the intel reports they have of some likely terrorist or criminal activity. Imagine if the passenger is warning someone else of their presence or given away vital security info prior to them being attacked. As I said earlier , these whole scenarios(sic) will largely depend on: A. Security intelligence/concerns about arm robbery or political upheaval B. Sensitivity/ vulnerability of the location to terrorists attack C. Could be any other thing not known to us civilians...however, some over zealous behavior cannot be ruled out though to say the worst. |

b me_for_you: d offence wasn't holding a phone but making call. If she intended to denote anything with the phone, she would be holding the fine in her hand. Just illiterate aboki soldiers venting out their anger on an innocent young fine girl To detonate an IED that uses a cell phone as a detonator, you have to place a call to the phone, thus basically using the other as a trigger. That is one reason why DSS or NPF Bomb Disposal units/EOD use radio cell jammers. And that's one reason the NE, particularly Born and Yobe, have been without cell phone service for months now. |

Hot Potato: Dear Nairalanders, Just like some bank security used to harass customers for using their phone in the bank. 5yrs ago when other banks will harass u 4 making calls GTBank was actually encouraging their customers to use their phone and had no problems. There is really no connection btw using ur phone at a bank or checkpoint with security, if I were planning a hit on a checkpoint wont I perfect my strategy b4 hand than start whispering on the phone for my co-passengers to hear when already at the checkpoint? 1 Like |

lonelydora: Just obey the checkpoint rules whether it is lawful or not. U should try and beg the soldiers that u were ignorant of the rule, that u won't try it again. They have human sympathy more than the police.who tell u say dey get human sympathy? |

Ekaka1: Obviously sir you did not catch on that I was making a JOKE with my suggestion that an UN-armed CIVILIAN should try and commit an act of violence against an ARMED soldier. My intent was to point out the foolhardy absurdity of even questioning ANYTHING an armed man would order one to do, in ANY context. All the same, if it pleases you to imagine that anyone could seriously suggest confronting an armed soldier at a checkpoint, by all means indulge yourself ha ha. |

Dahomey Amazon: What happened to putting up a sign that says do not use your phone at check points. Imagine Nigerians giving these fools an excuse to threat them like animals. Is that how other militaries behave?yeah m surprised.i ve never heard of this kind of thing before.if there were signs like ''MILITARY CHECKPOINT AHEAD SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONES'' at least all these wud nt be happening.i dont knw why dis country is always upside down. |

Just a military hangover. SOME in the military are still living in the past. the 'oga' soldier mentality. In our world, the bearer of arms is the arbiter of life at the spot. So they will exercise the power' willy nilly. Comply always as life is transient in the presence arms bearers all over the world. |

kokoA: One secret of pulling through these guys is hailing.. Once you are stopped, always start your conversation with these magic words "officer weldon o.. Kai! Dis una work no easy o". It's always working for me sha o. I'd end up spending few minutes gisting and laughing with them and dats allyou are making sense |

kl_bakare: There are no such signs in the US Army base I entered yesterday except 'it is illegal to use radar detecting device' which is different from "it is illegal to use mobile phones at check point". Another thing I observed was anytime we approached the checkpoint, the person driver always switch the radio off. Guys, its better we simply obey these unwritten rules, in less than 30Secs we are out of the checkpoint and have other things to do. We can begin to prove rights, get our human rights infringed upon, go to court and wait for donkey years for judgment (We have cases as far back as 1992 pending in the Appeal Courts), spend our money, with the scars. I was onced harassed (beaten and slapped and even threathened to shoot me) by police in Lagos for standing up to my right, did everything to get justice, which ended up as an apology letter but a few weeks back while a Dr was checking my ears for general checkup, he was taken aback at the damage in my ear. The damage is for life, but imagine I let them cheat me for just 1-minute, my eardrums will be intact while karma will catch up with them eventually. 1 Like |
