NA is an army of confusion and ethnic division.

NN is the only Navy that has non-coastal dwellers as a majority.

NAF still predominantly a Benue state affairs and manpower level.

Why is there not a uniform Merit based selection for Officers?

The Nigerian Army comes first in the Military hierarchy, followed by the Navy and then the Air Force.

In attending military and/or political functions, the pattern of arrival is based on the military hierarchy where the lowest service Chief (Air Chief) arrives first, then the Naval Chief, followed by the Army Chief before the big one, the Chief of Defense Staff.

These Chiefs (Army, Navy and Airforce) are all of the same rank though different nomenclatures and insignias. The Army Chief is usually a Lieutenant General, the Naval Chief is a Vice Admiral while the Air Chief is an Air Vice Marshal. They are all three (3) star generals except the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) who is a full general (4 star) that is if he is an Army Officer. If the CDS is drawn from the Navy, he is an Admiral while from the Air Force, he is an Air Marshal.
They (the service chiefs and CDS) are decorated with these ranks upon appointment by the President and confirmation from the National Assembly.

These stars are attached to the collars of their camouflage in the event that they appear in the unified military camouflage while the insignia of their ranks appears in front of their camouflage, somewhere around the chest but in the event where they appear in their respective service uniforms, their ranks are worn on their shoulders with the “red” emblem fixed to their collars.

The President is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and he can wear any of the service uniforms if he likes to commemorate with the particular military service he attends their event and he wears the unified camouflage especially in the event where he visits soldiers in war front or in areas of civil unrest. He wears the five (5) general insignia on the collar of the camouflage.

The President reserves the exclusive right to appoint and fire as he desires especially if he deems the service chiefs as non performing.

The chief of air staff is an Air marshal

Air vice marshal is equivalent to major General in the army and rear admiral in the navy

Thanks for the observation. I have corrected it.

Omoluabi1stborn:
Why should Chief of Air staff be the lowest is what I don't understand

Infact I think, Chief of Army and Airforce should be the same level.
Airforce is a powerful unit of a country.

They are all of the same rank. They are equivalent in rank but in order of military hierarchy, Army comes first, Navy follows then the Air Force.
This is same practice in every other country.

Omoluabi1stborn:


Doesn't sounds well to me in Hierarchy.
Airforce should come b4 Navy.

Magic1:


Regardless of how it sounds, that is the practice from time immemorial. Even from their dates of establishments, the army came into force first, followed by the Navy and then the Air Force.

Omoluabi1stborn:


Countries wey no get Navy nko?

I'm of the opinion that Airforce should be / is superior to Navy.

Ikpeyi:
Navy is the most important arm of the defence system of any country with coastline. Imagine what a warship means to a country defence. Google US navy.

Kindly give your reason(s)

Omoluabi1stborn:


Because its easy for airforce to destroy enemies than navy.
War planes go everywhere.
They destroy large numbers of enemies.

War planes can even escort navy ships self.
Numerous reasons to mention

Always look out for events where all the service chiefs including the chief of Defense Staff are present and take a critical look at their standing or sitting positions. Also note when they have meetings with the President, the Minister of defense takes his seat, the Chief of defense staff sits next, followed by the Chief of Army Staff, Navy and then Air Force.

Nothing like military hierarchy.....they are listed according to their year of establishment.... Nigerian army is the oldest.... followed by the navy .....the airforce is the youngest arm of service in Nigeria

Cus some countries lists their army , marines , airforce before navy

Lol google destroyers and warships...do you know the number of warplanes and missiles on a destroyer or warship?

Destroyer is a war island...imagine one American destroyer on Nigerian shore in wartime...

That Nigeria Navy never ripe no mean say never no strong...

Well as much as I agree with you, the hierarchy cannot be changed. Besides, war planes and helicopters cum drones can be shot down. If the Air Force launches attack from the sky, there are bound to be civilian casualties but you can be sure of total annihilation of the enemies when battle are fought on waters.

Airforce

What's in Navy except Waters.

Airforce controls the land, air and sea.

Navy's should.goan sit Down

Magic1:


Imagine the number of fighter jets aboard an aircraft carrier, the damning sight of a Naval destroyer ship, not to talk of sub marines.
