PLEASE MR PRESIDENT SAVE THE MILITARY
AND NIGERIA FROM COLLAPSING

1. Sir, I am constrain to write you this letter
which I consider it a matter of more than great
importance for me to inform you and put to
record issues that are happening in the North
East (Operation Zaman Lafiya). I choose this
medium to write you this open letter because I
have written similar letter but no action was
taking which I believe some forces have blocked
it are now after my life. Sir I have served in 7
Division as staff officer and presently I am the
commanding officer of 103Bn in the field. My
combined wealth of experience as a staff officer
and now commanding officer are the disturbing
fact that necessitated me to write you this letter.
While as a staff officer, I was among those who
believed that the commanders in the field are not
doing well. But presently, as a commander in the
field, I found out that it is not the fault of any
commander that the defeat of the so called
BOKO HARAM (BH) has not been achieved.

2. First and foremost sir, the Nigerian Army is
poorly equipped in the North East, if all the
battalions are well-equipped as required; it will
not take the Army more than two weeks to flush
out the BH. Presently there are four units in my
location here in KONDUGA including 21 Armoured
Brigade HQ. If all the units are provided with all
their requirements, we can advance and flush out
BH out of North East. Mr. President sir, the
Nigerian Army is well-trained and capable of
defending our nation. It has demonstrated the
capacity to even successfully enforce peace in
other nations. Why not in our own country
Nigeria?

3. The fact about NE operation is that we are
poorly equipped, understaffed, high corruption
from Army Headquarters down to battalion level.
Commanders see it as opportunity to make
money. My predecessor has complained of the
same problem. Instead of ASA addressing the
issue raised by him, the army authorities decided
to Court Martialled him. All the units in NE are
understaffed, but on payroll their strength are
complete just to collect more allowances than
what each unit is supposed to. The commanders
see it as a personal money making venture
rather than taking care of men and equipment.
This ugly trend led to loss of many officers and
soldiers and thereby having adverse effect on the
moral (sic) of troops. Majority of soldiers in the
operation area wear mufti (civil cloths) under
their military uniforms in case there is an attack
and the troops cannot withstand the BH, they
found it easy to disguise as civilians to enable
them escape. This is not the traditional practice
in the NA. Though it is lack of adequate
equipment and poor administration from the
higher authority that resulted to this ugly trend
by our troops

4. Sir, another bad and unprofessional act is
that soldiers don’t take to orders from their
superior officers because they have lost
confidence/trust from them. The case of former
General Officer Commanding 7 Division Major
General A. Mohammed is enough evidence to
show that all is not well in the Nigerian Army. It
will interest you to note that worse cases has
been recorded before that of the former GOC and
more are still happening, but nobody is ready to
investigate the root cause of problems facing the
troops in the field.

5. This brings me to a recent occurrence which
is my main purpose of writing this letter. As I
mentioned earlier, due to the failure of the
authority to address issues that I made
mentioned, when a unit is attacked and overran
by the BH not because the soldiers are unable to
fight, but lack of weapons, ammunitions and
communications equipment, the soldiers on
many occasions will ran away, and a commander
cannot stand and fight alone as a result of this.
Presently seventy percent of commanders in the
NE are facing Court Martial due to the reasons
mentioned. We the commanding officers are very
worried over this development. This is because
we many soon find our self as victims of this
maladministration from our higher authorities.

6. There is no sincerity in this operation; this
is because the present acting GOC has never
visited any location outside Maiduguri town not
to talk of principal staff officers in Army
Headquarters or even the COAS. But we keep on
hearing all sorts of lies that Generals are leading
the fight against BH. These are facts that can be
confirmed from officers and soldiers in this
operation including those in the 7 Division
Headquarters. The GOC is so afraid that even
with the Divisional Headquarters; he doesn’t go
out and always locked himself inside his office.
Infact it is a common knowledge among officers
and soldiers in this operation that the acting
GOC is here to make his money and earn his
promotion to the detriment of the operation. The
completion of his mansion at No 8 Gwamna
Road in Kaduna which the GOC ignorantly
disclosed that when he completed it, will be
among the best houses in Kaduna, has turned to
be a subject of discussion among troops.

7. The former 21 Armored Brigade commander
is facing Court Martial today because the acting
GOC does not want to see him and his garrision
in Maiduguri town simply because of the huge
monthly allocations from the Borno State
government to the brigade garrision. He wanted
to be collecting his money by using 7 Div
Garrison, but in reality 7 Div Garrision does not
have troops to claim such money. It is worthy to
note that the GOC received 33,000litres of AGO
and PMS each, 600 bags of rice monthly from
Borno State government. All these items are
diverted for his personal use.

8. Recently the newly appointed 21 Brigade
commander lead 3 units to flush out the BH, that
operation was successful, almost 300 BH were
killed, weapons and vehicles were recovered from
them, in the process the troops exhausted their
ammunitions from the Div, the GOC simply
replied that there was no ammunition this made
all the troops to withdraw back to KONDUGA.

9. Presently more than 3000 officers and
soldiers are either killed in action, deserted,
captured as POW or on AWOL. But due to lack of
proper administration the army directed that
their salary should be stopped. This affect the
families of those that are either genuinely killed
in action or captured as Prisoners of War. It has
also affected some of the troops that are still
participating in this operation.

10. Mr. President sir, if all issues raised in this
letter are not urgently address, the Nigerian Army
will soon be history and by implication there will
be no country called Nigeria. No country without
strong army will survive. I decided to write you
this letter because the life of officers and soldiers
trusted in my care are no longer save. My life is
also at the stake because the NA authority as
usual will say I have communicated directly to
you as the Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces and may sanction me. As a citizen of this
country and a commander in the operational
area, with all the points I have mentioned in this
letter, it is clearly that the Military authorities
have failed the country, as such they should be
held liable for their misdeeds. I have consulted
seasonal constitutional lawyers if writing you
this letter will be an offence, but they said it is
my constitutional right to inform the C in C
about what is happening in the NE and within
the military which if not address will affect the
survival of Nigeria.

Henry120:


Dummy, i've read that post, the writer didn't provide any evidence to refute the fact you only have 8 qualified Gripen pilots.

He only reminded us your Airforce lack Aviation fuel, and you do not have enough pilots to fly the Gripens.

So, the next time you hear that the South African
Air Force does not have pilots for all their jets, or
that there is no flying activities taking place,
make sure your set the record straight. Every
South African can be proud to be represented
and protected by this disciplined, advanced, well
trained and formidable force.

Uhm...why would SAN publisize exact details of it refit? Besides you said the Valours never even went in for a refit, and i just proved you wrong, As for your so called stealth, even in your source it states and i quote "The cutting edge exclusive design gives minimum radar footprint" As in the minimum radar footprint which the X-38 design allows, if you didnt know, the X-38 is offered as a civilian boat as well, and thus its not designed to be stealthy.

Like i've pasted previously, the Nigerian Economy got worse under buhari, not better. Under 20 months our debt grew from 14 billion dollars to 19 billion dollars. Figures wer gotten from the Debt management office website.


I also showed how free speech was stifled under buhari, how buhari practised selective corruption fight. He threw Fela into prison while the Emir of gwando smuggled millions of dollars into Nigeria.



Nigeria has 3 government refineries, not 4, except you built the 4th Refinery for us. Port-harcourt Refinery, warri refinery and kaduna refinery are the only government refineries.


Buhari did not build a single Refinery for Nigeria, I don't know where you plucked your "4" refineries claim from.

Port-harcourt Refinery was established in 1965, this was our first refinery.

Now read,

The decision to build the 2 refineries was initiated in 1974 when Buhari was nowhere in the government. Here is extracts from NNPC website:

“REFINERY PROJECT DECISION
The decision to construct the third Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) refinery in Kaduna was taken in 1974 along with that of the second NNPC refinery located at Warri. However, it was decided that work would commence on the construction of the third refinery whenever the projection of the consumption of petroleum products justifies it.
By early 1975, in view of the fuel shortages experienced then, the Federal Government decided that work on the third refinery should be advanced. It was envisaged that the refinery was to be a simple hydro skimming type refinery in order to meet up with the fuel demand then”
http://www.nnpcgroup.com/nnpcbusiness/subsidiaries/krpc.aspx


You should learn to get your facts straight. I've always shown everyone, not just you, the facts which clearly show buhari was an incompetent head of state when he took over power.


Nigeria is an import dependent Nation, it makes sense to devalue the Naira, as we cannot continue to deep into our dollar reserves to support the Naira. It is basic Economics.

1. Sir, I am constrain to write you this letter
which I consider it a matter of more than great
importance for me to inform you and put to
record issues that are happening in the North
East (Operation Zaman Lafiya). I choose this

2. First and foremost sir, the Nigerian Army is
poorly equipped in the North East, if all the
battalions are well-equipped as required; it will
not take the Army more than two weeks to flush
out the BH. Presently there are four units in my
location here in KONDUGA including 21 Armoured
Brigade HQ. If all the units are provided with all
their requirements, we can advance and flush out
BH out of North East. Mr. President sir, the
Nigerian Army is well-trained and capable of
defending our nation. It has demonstrated the
capacity to even successfully enforce peace in
other nations. Why not in our own country
Nigeria?

3. The fact about NE operation is that we are
poorly equipped, understaffed, high corruption
from Army Headquarters down to battalion level.
Commanders see it as opportunity to make
money. My predecessor has complained of the
same problem. Instead of ASA addressing the
issue raised by him, the army authorities decided
to Court Martialled him. All the units in NE are
understaffed, but on payroll their strength are
complete just to collect more allowances than
what each unit is supposed to. The commanders
see it as a personal money making venture
rather than taking care of men and equipment.
This ugly trend led to loss of many officers and
soldiers and thereby having adverse effect on the
moral (sic) of troops. Majority of soldiers in the
operation area wear mufti (civil cloths) under
their military uniforms in case there is an attack
and the troops cannot withstand the BH, they
found it easy to disguise as civilians to enable
them escape. This is not the traditional practice
in the NA. Though it is lack of adequate
equipment and poor administration from the
higher authority that resulted to this ugly trend
by our troops

4. Sir, another bad and unprofessional act is
that soldiers don’t take to orders from their
superior officers because they have lost
confidence/trust from them. The case of former
General Officer Commanding 7 Division Major
General A. Mohammed is enough evidence to
show that all is not well in the Nigerian Army. It
will interest you to note that worse cases has
been recorded before that of the former GOC and
more are still happening, but nobody is ready to
investigate the root cause of problems facing the
troops in the field.

5. This brings me to a recent occurrence which
is my main purpose of writing this letter. As I
mentioned earlier, due to the failure of the
authority to address issues that I made
mentioned, when a unit is attacked and overran
by the BH not because the soldiers are unable to
fight, but lack of weapons, ammunitions and
communications equipment, the soldiers on
many occasions will ran away, and a commander
cannot stand and fight alone as a result of this.
Presently seventy percent of commanders in the
NE are facing Court Martial due to the reasons
mentioned. We the commanding officers are very
worried over this development. This is because
we many soon find our self as victims of this
maladministration from our higher authorities.

6. There is no sincerity in this operation; this
is because the present acting GOC has never
visited any location outside Maiduguri town not
to talk of principal staff officers in Army
Headquarters or even the COAS. But we keep on
hearing all sorts of lies that Generals are leading
the fight against BH. These are facts that can be
confirmed from officers and soldiers in this
operation including those in the 7 Division
Headquarters. The GOC is so afraid that even
with the Divisional Headquarters; he doesn’t go
out and always locked himself inside his office.
Infact it is a common knowledge among officers
and soldiers in this operation that the acting
GOC is here to make his money and earn his
promotion to the detriment of the operation. The
completion of his mansion at No 8 Gwamna
Road in Kaduna which the GOC ignorantly
disclosed that when he completed it, will be
among the best houses in Kaduna, has turned to
be a subject of discussion among troops.

7. The former 21 Armored Brigade commander
is facing Court Martial today because the acting
GOC does not want to see him and his garrision
in Maiduguri town simply because of the huge
monthly allocations from the Borno State
government to the brigade garrision. He wanted
to be collecting his money by using 7 Div
Garrison, but in reality 7 Div Garrision does not
have troops to claim such money. It is worthy to
note that the GOC received 33,000litres of AGO
and PMS each, 600 bags of rice monthly from
Borno State government. All these items are
diverted for his personal use.

8. Recently the newly appointed 21 Brigade
commander lead 3 units to flush out the BH, that
operation was successful, almost 300 BH were
killed, weapons and vehicles were recovered from
them, in the process the troops exhausted their
ammunitions from the Div, the GOC simply
replied that there was no ammunition this made
all the troops to withdraw back to KONDUGA.

9. Presently more than 3000 officers and
soldiers are either killed in action, deserted,
captured as POW or on AWOL. But due to lack of
proper administration the army directed that
their salary should be stopped. This affect the
families of those that are either genuinely killed
in action or captured as Prisoners of War. It has
also affected some of the troops that are still
participating in this operation.

10. Mr. President sir, if all issues raised in this
letter are not urgently address, the Nigerian Army
will soon be history and by implication there will
be no country called Nigeria. No country without
strong army will survive. I decided to write you
this letter because the life of officers and soldiers
trusted in my care are no longer save. My life is
also at the stake because the NA authority as
usual will say I have communicated directly to
you as the Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces and may sanction me. As a citizen of this
country and a commander in the operational
area, with all the points I have mentioned in this
letter, it is clearly that the Military authorities
have failed the country, as such they should be
held liable for their misdeeds. I have consulted
seasonal constitutional lawyers if writing you
this letter will be an offence, but they said it is
my constitutional right to inform the C in C
about what is happening in the NE and within
the military which if not address will affect the
survival of Nigeria.

Honestly dis is noThing but d truth ..... Let's not shy away from these because lives iTs @ stake !
