Babzilla:

They dont train them
They just torture them

We call it hazing. It used to be a tradition we used to do back in the day. When you outrank someone or you are in a position because of authority, we would band together and bully the hell outta that Soldier. I remember the first day i met my squad leader, he looked at me as said "drop", which is another word for start doing push ups. I was wondering what i did wrong. I pushed for almost 30 minutes. Then he asked me if i was not going to ask why i was pushing. That was a trap. You never ever ask "why", you just do. I asked why and he told me it was because i was s.tupid. I didn't say anything. He then asked if i wasn't going to ask why was i s.tupid. He said because i came in as an E1 that i did not go to school. At the time, i only had my Nigerian degree and i did not know i could have converted my credits to an American one. Anyway, it was a wake up call. That was a long long time ago. Now, you try that shiit, you get relieved of rank and duty. If there is bodily harm because of your actions, you'll be spending the next couple of years at fort Leavenworth. Bad place. The army has evolved. Now we are expected to live up to a certain standard. We use our minds as much as we use physical efforts to solve problems. It is an absolute must now that if you are going to be a Sergeant, you have to have a degree, treat everyone with respect and dignity. The army noticed that with that behavior of hazing, they were grooming animals because on my first deployment, we went crazy. Shooting up every and anything in sight. A car blocks our path? BOOM, we blow it up. Sniper in a tree? We level the whole block. We had zero problem solving skills. We got high just from the action. What we did not realize was that as Soldiers our first job was to protect, not to harm or destroy. Now things have changed immensely. We are professionals and are expected to act like one. I wonder when the Nigerian military will start thinking like that?

There mates in the west have upgraded from physical training to mental training, they are still using their hand to bully ppl, that is why i asked one nigerian military officer that blw an ak 47 and sniper which one is more accurate, the jonsing man said ak 47,i jux nooded and left in disbelieve.

We are in a country where human lives matters no more. A country where crude means are still being used in the training of security personnel all in the name of trying to make them tough. A country where employers both govt and private entrepreneurs believe that the difficult way is always the best as against the easier and less difficult way. Nobody will investigate this death because the young man is not from any 'royal' family.

That's what several years of bad leadership has turned us into.. Yet some 'bad pple' see no wrong in d corruption affecting our development as a nation.
Hopefully we'll get it right soon

dem wan find way twist the whole matter,they don't know that a precious life has been wasted. burying such a young chap with honour does not change the fact that the family just lost a child.how can such occurrence serve as an encouragement to dose who wants to go to NDA...
If it was their child,they would have gone to the ends of the earth just to bring the real story to light. But as na person pikin wetin we go do? Dem just dey joke with am

From what I am reading on the news,it seems the Nigerian Military is still far from professionalism.There is difference between serving a job and being brutalized.From the above post,it is most likely the young dude died from brutalism.

Oga
We fit make you the chief of staff?
We need someone like you to turn our soldiers from animals to professional soldiers.
Looking back at their activities against the Shiites not too long ago, is an eye opener!

Poliporpor:
After an argument in church resulting from calling me “mommy and I am older than you”, I have been having this curiosity, why are pastors now called “Daddy” and their wives “mummy?” personally, I do not believe that it is right to address a pastor as “Daddy”. Like pastor is not enough respect to someone who teaches the Bible? Jesus was called teacher and not Daddy. Is there any bible verse to wrong my thought or are weh now adopting our own style of Christianity? Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven

But nothing tangible and reasonable is being done to address the issues. The so-called fight against corruption is just noise making because the investigations are shoddy and the charge sheets are poorly drafted. Buhari cannot fight corruption because he is a product of corruption. He doesn't care about the sufferings in the land.

Division of Nigeria, I believe will solve all these babaric behaviours. I heard that inside prisons in Nigeria, same animalistic approach does happen. Which way doomed Nigeria State? DISINTEGRATION.

ministeriallist:


How can someone slum in a queue and sustain internal injury?
Why is this man hiding the truth?

What is it that you don't understand? Someone had an accident on his way and he failed to alert the authorities cos he was afraid they will drop him. But nature caught up with him and he suffered internal bleeding and died. May I remind you that a corper died on the parade ground during our nysc days.she fainted on the parade ground. Are we now gonna conclude the soldiers drilling us killed her? Let us stop being sentimental and accept reality

As I de so, I no see any other thing do Na to serve or represent naija in anything. No way.

Ppl Wey go Rio 2016 how far ?
To serve naija Na personal risk, no commendation, no thank you but on the process someone happens to give you a token in appreciation, you must submit it to the FG.

RIP bro.
I would have advised you had it been I know you,maybe you will still be alive today.

It's not about Buhari.. It's about everyone.
We knw almost everybody in d country is corrupt, but dnt shield or stage protest when pple are being questioned or asked to give account.. We can start from there and get somewhere.. cheers!

explain why? So if person see something for Bible come ask question the person need deliverance be that? so anybody way ask question or question the way things day run get spirit? like as a chiristian am not entitled to ask question or what?

I wish i could bro. But the problem is, Nigerians are not ready for change. We have a set way of thinking and will resist anyone who want's to change it. It will take a long long time for things to change in Nigeria. I hope it does soon though.

nextprince:

Which compensation is this one talking about? Even if he died as a result of the rigorous training, which compensation are u talking about? Apparently, u don't know what Parents' Attestation is all about.

A situation where some bunch of misguided misfits called senior cadets descends on a young lad and beat him to death is called rigorous training? No wonder this country aint moving forward with reasonings like this. This rubbish can't happen in western climes. The NDA would be sued for every single kobo they are worth!
The father said he dropped the boy at the gate, the NDA authority said he had accident while on his way to camp...hmmm. I smell something

vislabraye:

We should learn to trust constitute authorities. You don't need to be there. Military don't beat their own to death. My dad was a soldier and I spent all my life in the barracks. I am not new to their regimental life style. For instance we use to ve a man o war security guy. Just a few months ago he resigned and joined the military.after his training he was posted to kastina were he was ambushed and shot in the head. I understand how painful it is to lose a loved one but this guy are trained to kill and in the cause of doing their job they may be killed. Sentiment should be jettisoned. If you don't want ur son to be exposed to the regimental life style then let him chose another profession.

Hmmmmm....

Ofemmanu1:
Buhari o!
Meanwhile, i'm also a victim, i resigned a day after i got the beatings of my life.
I wept uncontrollably like a baby,
ARMY is for the strong hearted, he wouldn't get such beatings if he was a son of a politician tho.
Check my dp.

u resigned and u still have that pic on ur dp? ITK

So cadets require introductory beatings nw abi.... Later they will castigating cultists wen d NA is a cult on its own...

listen carefully.... The accuracy of a sniper rifle and an assault rifle rest solely on the operator... If you are equipped with a M40 sniper rifle and you ain't a trained sniper your accuracy balls down to zero.... but on the other hand if you are a trained infantry assaulter and you're get an FM 16... you will shoot through the eye of a needle.... the only perk with sniper is the long distance acceptability.. and do you know.. little factors like wind,height etc affects the accuracy of a sniper rifle due to distance....so please sir... if you're less informed about something... try to get more info before coming public.. have a nice day.

Religious sentiments everywhere. Boko haram infiltrated the army. Investigate thoroughly, you will find out that the so called seniors are abdulwaheed usman, hamza El rufai, and mujaheed Abdulaziz
