Army is the most discipline institution,the should keep it up.

Some people just talk anyhow and that is the bane of our country"s problem
The N25000 is the fine for BRT route violation, so i dont know why some people should be saying its too small

Spot the difference.


1) Lance Corporal Sunday Ayodeji who drove on the BRT lane in 2011, resisted arrest, fought with police, called for reinforcements and endangered citizens.

2) Colonel Ki Yusuf who was accosted by Governor Fashola

Anything above 25,000 will be like killing a housefly wt a sledge hammer instead of broom

this one good no be small, them no go try am again.

don't you know we have so many lame people on nairaland.


Now a man should pay 100,000K because he is an officer on uniform, so why didn't they allow him ride on BRT since he is an officer.

Silly people

Way to go, God bless Nigerian Army, God bless Fashola, Eko oni baje.

The difference is clear my brother, it's a warning to would-be law breaker knowing fully the implication of the offence if committed.

naptu2: Spot the difference.

Good! This is justice. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW, Military or civilian.

The difference is that Ayodeji is a dumb Yoruba Fwool, always arrogat with nothing to show for being brazenly silly, Yusuf is a Notherner. An average northerner is humble and down to earth.

There are other differences, but this will suffice Lol

U can never comprehend it cos Nigeria's Education Sector of today is a joke.

The reason why people are saying it's to small is because the culprit is a LEADER; He is a person of HIGH RANK in the military with numerous subordinates.

As such, it stands to reason that an example be made of him to his SUBORDINATES: the people who are within his direct sphere of influence and most likely to emulate his lawless behaviour.

25,000 naira is nothing especially to a man of his stature. A 25,000 naira fine is so insignificant that it is unlikely to serve as a DETERRENT, and as such most people believe that the officer in question has not been adequately disciplined, and has been let off with the proverbial 'slap on the wrist'.

A 100k fine would have been more appropriate, simply because To Whom Much is Given, Much is Expected...

Some of the responses on Nairaland in support of the 'colonel' on the day the news first broke indicated to me that we still have a long way to go in Nigeria. If Nigerians who can read and write can think that way, what about the illiterates?

There will always be a payback day. Anybody who remembers the story of Idiagbon and how he was disgraced at Panti Yaba Police Station in the 70s will understand what im talking about. There will definitely be a return match. Ahua! no they fall hand! Fashola don buy Job and he must settle am with interest!

The Colonel was calm, respectful and even salute Mr Fash unlike the silly Lance Corporal that disgraced himself. Kudos to Fashola and the Nigerian Army.

haha. . . .nairalanders won't understand.
Shey na justice ''nobody is above the law'' una dey find? Well, una don get am now . . Oya make una clap for una selves.

Una go tell us whether stealing, looting and laundering dey for civilian dictionary. .

This is not enough. We need to revisit the issue of how we train our armed forces personnel. I do believe that officers are properly trained to respect the laws of the land, but I know that other ranks (NCOs, ratings and airmen) are told terrible things about bloody civilians and policemen. This must change.

What a shame.

Please in what language are you writing?

cheddarking: Only 25k?


Is that a Fine or a BRT 1st Class Ticket?

The Joke that is Nigeria...

lol

I'm glad the offending officer has been fined for his offense. What's now left is for Fashola to publicly apologize to the Army for publicly embarasing a commisioned officer for cheap publicily when the whole affair could have been dealt with without the drama.

Bros do u really meant d above view. If yes, then I leave u to ur ruin. I think hencefort I will try to avoid argument with philosphers who said 'good and bad' can't be defined. Dis has been clearly proven wit d submission of pple on dis issue

he has done that already but trust him now he won't publicize his apology.

Well, it means 25k is what everyone else would pay for entering the BRT lane. They shouldnt be made to pay more or less than what any other citizen would have. Dismissing them would certainly be an overkill, would you get sacked from your non-military job for such an offence?

chucky234: N25,000? Is he joking? They will pay the N25,000 smiling,I expecting a fine of N100,000 each as that will make them realised the seriousness of that offence.

na their own dem talk i swear dat colonel no fit pay anymoney court marshall or wateva na padi padi be military and as for dismissing of the colonel they cannot rank pass rank

go school again and learn good english language

omosexy1:

The Guy is a colonel (a senior military personnel), probably has some many Godfathers and friends. See the Army is a cabal, like a cult (this applies to senior officers oh). Many of them attended the same school (NDA, NMS etc), or same courses aboard, hang out in officer's mess, share the same women and ideas. You think they will want to harm their own? If it was a junior staff, straight off dismissal.

its ikw u kw how d military is i love your post dat fine dey wont pay it

The advent of GSM and text messages has brought so many characters who hide their poor spelling abilities under various guises.

Haven't we just discussed that, they should not be treated any differently than other Nigerian citizens? If the fine for taking the BRT line is N25K, asking them to do otherwise either by reducing or increasing the fine is treating them differently....

I expect double of that amount. This would further serve as a deterrent to others. High level of intellectual decorum should be exhibited.
