Hello all, with the currently trending video of the brutalized civilian, please I want us to share our experiences and possibly what the law has to protect us from such happenings; because I feel most people don't know their rights that is why these things go unpunished; you see a girl who dates a military man misbehaving and for little to no offense would want to bring her said military spouse to come and cause havoc to innocent Nigerians; I have friends in the Army personally who believe they are mini-gods even when a policeman asks them simple questions they get offended and want to fight/beat up the officer; for crying out loud you all are in the same business; where is the camaraderie, the esprit de corps? The other time I was terribly disappointed a general slapped a barrister to comma; in Abuja the said barrister works for a radio show that claims to be giving voice to the voiceless and the general went scot-free; I remember a general in Zaria who shot a civilian for taking a leak on his fence, nothing happened, A friend recently got beaten to a pulp by a married major of the Nigerian army, because the said friend was with a girl who he was hoping to date and the major seems to be providing for some of her needs remember he is married here; cheating on his wife and he went ahead to beat up this young gentleman with his boys, he cooked up a story that this young man wanted to kill him. Lots of stories like this; Remember the lady in the Lagos traffic? Can't remember how that one ended. So what I want is how does the Nigerian law protect its citizens against these senseless and inhumane thoughts and actions you find with the Uniformed Men; Mostly the Army, cause i think they are the most culpable. The other day a soldier shot dead a civilian at a brothel in Maiduguri, the story/excuse was so dumb, but the so called court martial panel would believe the cooked up story about how civilians saw him and were trying to snatch his gun, so the pattern for most of these guys is this, they know what they're doing is mostly wrong especially for the junior officers and non officer cadre, they come up with flimsy stories to justify their actions. I was terribly disappointed when that general had his cake and ate it too; for sending a barrister to comma, not just any barrister a well known barrister in abuja, on the popular Brekete radio programme of ordinary Ahmed Isah. Compare it with what you find in other climes; there is always this spirit of camaraderie between all their uniform men, even the civilian relationship is commendable.

Africans have not fully evolved. They have no notion of what it means to uphold and fight for human dignity.

The question should be "Do we really need the army as an institution in Africa?"

Nice write up

Too barberic.
In Nigeria uniform turns men to god.

Nigerian Army are being dehumanized, calling it training..

so a dehumanized soldier or navy will only Dole out dehumanized acts when provoked.

Nigerian army need revolution amongst each echelon. (mostly it training)
say no to drugs
say no to oppression.

They are clearing ways for a "Trans Nigerian Muhammadu Buhari Super Grazing High Ways" in all the 36 states of The Federation.

The Nigerian Army is not a professional security organisation same as its counterparts in Nigeria. Add that to the fact that Africans are generally not civilised and you have a situation where someone thinks that wearing a green uniform and carrying a gun is licence to impunity.

its frustration.... Nigerian soldiers are frustrated

The Military is spoiling for Coup. And will reap Shame in the end.
