That person's sense of reasoning might be skewed, but when it comes to things like coup, you never can tell. First native president of Liberia, Samuel Doe, took over power after he and his fellow Non-coms executed a successful coup. He was only a Master Seargeant.
it will be impossible in Nigeria, they don't have access to the information to carry out a successful coup

Eskis sir,

Though you cited an example, Liberia can never be Nigeria. For some countries in Africa, even boys scout can take over government. If you know the setting and the workings of the Military in Nigeria, you will know the experience in Liberia, Zimbabwe and Even Benin Republic of Matteu Kerekou can never happen here.

Military or no military take over, one has to bow out after 35years in service.

non commission officers to plan coup? This one no get sense oo
What do you mean? Not non commissioned officer took over in Liberia - Master Sergeant Samuel Doe?

Those retired officers could conveniently overthrow Tinubu if they wanted. They are the real soldiers,not the Generals.

"The Nigerian Armed Forces on Thursday retired 656 senior non-commissioned officers, who have served for 35 years."



They are due for retirement na...

What's the news here

Civil servants also retire and we no dey see the news...Op, you don't want them to retire after 35 years
Lies!

Many have not put the mandatory 35yrs. They were retired because of rumble in the Army.

Fear of insurrection.

Exactly. If they are non commissioned how can they be senior officers except the seniority qualification is as defined by age not rank

You have senior non-commisioned officers..

A non military person can plan a coup as well. Do, whars the big deal. He just needs yo goggle what it means to be a non-commissioned officer.

If there is one thing I like about Tinubu, it is his defanging and castration of Fulanis within the army! next, he should relocate some of the most sensitive military hardware to the southwest or south south!

There are well respected senior non commissioned officers, RSM for example.

with what information? With what access? Nigeria is not Liberia

A regimental sergeant major is typically non commissioned but senior by period of service (age) not as should be defined by the line between NCOs and COs. I just can't explain it better than saying that the best RSM is still way lower than an NDA graduate awaiting decoration. (Except at the drills where the RSM might be the authority)

Funny. They won't even go near the armoury. Don't sound authoritative over something you know nothing about

What do you know. Somebody who understands the structure of the Army and High Command is talking. Not joking.

Yes, Nigeria is not Liberia. But have same military training.

Those retired guys had not attained 35yrs military service. But retired on mere suspicion of military insurrection.
