HV read thru and HV seen some bunkum many a narrow minded individuals wrote just to defend their frustration. And I realise most of the comments are coming from frustrated individuals like one bastard said do u know how many pple want nda but can't get it. That shows the bastard z criticising outta frustration. I read thru with anoda guy comparing us army etiquette to NA. To or I dnt have much to say but if only there was CNN, BBC or channels when the country was like Nigeria agewise, that bunkum won't be spree here.

Anyway I HV been oppourtuned to be in the Brazil military academy once with my past SO3. Name withheld. The truth z every country has his bad eggs. Even though Us Army try there best in curbing them. I would HV love to share pictures to botteress this point. But its not worth it. Coz u guys dnt deal with fact u allow hunger and hate rule ur reasoning. Good for u sha



Keep the hating up. When I get to heaven to angel Micheal I will say, just anoda soldier reporting sir have served my time in hell

Iamemma:
I understand that our soldiers most times over step their bound,harrass and bully innocent citizens. However, I still feel that they deserve our constructive criticism and not the destructive ones,they deserve our love,respect and prayers.

The hate we reserve for our soldiers should be transferred to our APC and PDP looters from the grassroot to the highest level of leadership in our country

I bet that you or someone close to you have not been brutalized by the thugs in uniform. Nigerian soldiers are extremely lawless and believe they are above the law. They don't deserve any respect.

Nigeriadondie:
Soldier boy u compare yourself with soldiers abroad pls be reasonable. The soldiers abroad I know and ve seen dont behave d way u guys behave. The way u guys behave makes me wonder if some of u are animals coated with human skin. Soldiers abroad join queue and dont jump line cos they are in uniform like u guys do. Soldiers abroad dont move on a wrong lane just to beat traffic which u guys do and sometimes cause accident. Soldiers abroad pay their fares and dont expect a free ride. Soldiers abroad dont see police as inferior but see them as part of d civil authority they must be subjected and hence u never see or hear of Army-Police clash. U dont hear of military brutality towards civilians abroad but it is normal here. In a traffic if a civilian mistakenly hits ur car as it cud with anyone, then d soldier wud turn the civilian into punching bag cos na for civilian body una get power. I ve even witnessed a case where the soldier was at fault but was beating d driver whose car he damaged.
So in all respect dont compare yourselves with soldiers abroad.

I did my NYSC in d north and witnessed firsthand so much brutality by d military towards unarmed civilian many of whom were even people old enough to be ur father. Sometimes I ask myself is it d gun and uniform that makes u guys so wild to act that way or d wraps of weed smoked.

During my NYSC, I had rapport with some soldiers and I was shocked with d comments of some soldiers which reflects their attitude towards civilians. The comments are "bloody civilians", una civilians no get sense", "I go waste una", "civilians be animal/chicken".

I feel perharps ur training makes u guys feel that u re superior to civilians but u fail to realize that u all in uniform were born "bloody civilians", ur fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, wives, children, relatives and friends are bloody civilians.

U also fail to realize that if u dont die in active service, u wud retire to be a bloody civilian.
U guys are so arrogant and full of yourselves as if no be blood they flow for una vein. Na for civilian body una get power but when Boko Haram where overruning ur bases u guys were complaining of lack of weapons telling us grammar that it is assymetric warfare bla bla but there is a never a lack of ammunition when u re called upon to manage peaceful protest of unarmed bloody civilians whom u wud use to test your shooting skills.

I also wish to use this medium to tell all our member of armed forces here on this thread and those who may be one someday that if u re called to suppress peaceful protests, use ur head. Dont be a zombie as late Fela call u. Most peaceful protests are means through which d masses speak to senseless leaders cos if they were sensible and sensitive to d needs of d masses it wud not ve degenerated to a protest. Hence dont use ur arms against d people cos those thieves in power wud use to maintain their grip on power and dump u when u retire to d point that even ur meagre pension wud be owed while they embezzle billions.
Dont let d gun or uniform get into ur head. Dont be a zombie cos as Fela call u. And remember what goes round comes round.

Word.

Am happy to say am married to an officer of the Nigerian army and wouldn't have it any other way, those castigating the soldiers write up should shut up, what do you about barrack life, you couldn't last a day in the Nigerian Defence Academy, you should see the rigorous training they go through, after that officers and soldiers are posted out to the north east to fight our battles, do you how many women have become widows, fatherless, instead of praising the Camo some spit on it.
If you can do better join up, don't be all mouth.. Go to 44 military hospital in kd, maybe that would shut you up, learn to respect soldiers, some leave wives and families for months, you are in the same country with your hubby and you won't see him for months, that is sacrifice.

people are complaining about the way they maltreat civilians and you are talking about praising the camo.......they need reorientation.

oloriadebusola:


Is it that no good can come out of the army, so all they are known for is abuse, getting rough with civilians, well that's your mindset, but have seen soldiers save lives, have seen soldier amputees who weren't born that way but lost limbs in battle, have seen a soldier confined to a wheelchair cause of boko haram, don't judge.

It's not that no good can come from it; but for every amputee soldier who joined the army voluntarily to serve, there are 10 innocent civilians - who didn't have a choice - maimed or killed by soldiers.

Even if the civilian offended the soldier, is the cost of one's life a fair price to pay?

You Are A Foolish Person, Did They Tell You That I Can't Differentiate Between Threat And Treat? What's Even Your Level? You Are Very Stupid For Quoting Me. Empty Brain Like You Forming Nonsense For Me, Meet Me Face To Face And Talk Rubbish.

Davindal:
I'm a soldier(officer cadet) as well, but I must confess; most of our colleagues are too stupid to know when to act in rugedity and when not to act.

The people bringing this bad blood between us and civilians are the recruits(korofos), the illiterate ones: from you fatigue and the way you sounded, you are one of the fools that ought to be stricken off from our midst.

You and the set of soldiers in this category lack standard education. To them, wearing of camo(army fatigue) is an authentication and authorization to abuse and molest civilians. That is why, civilians hate us. You and your type caused it.

Each time I go on break from school(NDA) here, people, particularly, my town guys use to say that I'm too good and handsome to be a soldier. Whenever they say so, I use to tell them that in NDA we are well programmed and too enlightened to be stupid: though, I don't rule out few bad eggs amongst us. I only act when it is necessary; I don't show off unwarantly.

Let me reiterate my stance once more, I don't show myself anyhow. In fact, while on break, I don't fly our colours, I don't bully people, I don't drink much - only occasionally, I don't womanize - I have only two girlfriends: but very serious with one, though I'm studying the other, I don't keep late nights - for I'm not immuned to attacks. I conduct myself gently.

Civilians, please not all soldiers are arrogant. There are still good and civilized ones like myself and my ilks.

thank you.

But in that NDA, don't they ever teach cadets that soldiers are used to fight external aggressors, not to gun down people from groups asking for another country from their mother country?

Seriously if u r rili a cadet. I wish to know u as a person and probably job the day out of u.

Snitch like u are not meant to be in the armed forces. I repeat I still and will always doubt u been a cadet.

Sir, forgive if I offended our clique psych, but I stated the fact. Those Oscars are... In fact, feelamongson WAN kee them.

I salute the bravery and gallantry of our soldiers towards defending the people. But all the same, i must condemn the aggression and brutality with which they handle their so called bloody civilians. They must handle the civilians with some regards.

NgcoboP:

Let me respond comprehensively.
A soldier siting on the fence of your barracks opposite yabaleft..was asked by a stranger where he could ease himself the soldier responded with stones aimed at his head... Mr. You don't deserve the respect of Nigerians.

You soldiers truncated our democracy and broke down our structure that engendered development from the grassroots replaced it with a unitary system where the grassroots come cap in hand to the centre for alms called allocations... while the grassroots remain in perpetual useless state... You deserve no respect of Nigerians.

You soldiers annuled and jailed the acclaimed winner of the June 12 elections subsequently murdered his wife and ensured his death in dubious circumstances.. you deserve no respect at all.

On your boko haram struggle... If you had not broken down Nigeria into colonies of beggars boko haram insurgency wouldn't have arisen in the first place... Thus you are reaping the fruits of your wickedness and misrule... No respect no sympathy from the majority of Nigerians.

Your soldiers molest and kill innocent civilians nationwide yet you want our respect... No! You deserve none. No respect for you in any form.

Even our taxpayers money allocated to prosecute the Boko haram insurgency was continuously looted dry and you want our respect?!!

bros shut up already. you talk about democracy and development, you won't have any of those if not for these soldiers sacrifices of their lives for this country..... do you know how many intruders they prevent at the borders, wars they lose their lives in, can you die for your country? say whatever you want they deserve our respect and that's the truth

I wish he would see this. Bloody animal! No sympathy for you lot talk of respect

hedonistic:


They vent their anger on the public because they are cowards. Simple.

Think about it, soldier vs civilian. One armed, the other unarmed. One able to call for ARMED reinforcement if overpowered, the other unable to do so. Now tell me, and any bastard called a soldier reading this should also tell me, is this an even contest? Is it a fair contest? Is this a true test of strength or courage?

There you have it. Nigerian soldiers are the biggest cowards in the world. The only advantage they have over the average civilian is not so-called rubbish and outdated training. It is their arms and ammunition - issued by the government. Unfortunately, the gun control laws in Nigeria make it very difficult for the average civilian to lay hands on a rifle. Otherwise these cowardly soldiers wouldn't be so 'brave'. Simple and short.

You seem to have enough assumptions going on there for you.

hedonistic:


This looks too good to be true. The extinct concept of an officer and a gentleman, in Nigeria's decadent Armed Forces! I can't believe it until I behold and engage you in flesh and blood. Then again, your refined/atypical use of English, choice of words, and clarity of thought entitles you to the benefit of the doubt, in my reckoning.

Thumbs up man. There is hope, after all.

Thank you. In any group, there are bound to be evil and good ppl. So, always consider the well behaved ones before generalizing.

Are u saying other country's military who are well respected are perfect. Go and insult and maltreat your local security first to see how he will react.

dont mind dem dem joor...in america igbo was shoot dead...in europe they always lock them up in prison....

we know igbos and how they look...you will recognize them anyday.....

but they want to be treated nice in nigeria although they abuse everybody and mostly dont play by the rules...

i dont say all of them....

Anybody can be a soldier so u people should stop talking as I've it so deadly being a soldier. Soldiers are here to defend us civilians but they are using it as advantage to torture and collect bribes fuckers

I bet that you or someone close to you have not been brutalized by the thugs in uniform. Nigerian soldiers are extremely lawless and believe they are above the law. They don't deserve any respect.

I bet none of your relatives had been loyal enough to be given harsh and wicked training all their lives then shoved off into the middle of guns and bomb to fend for themselves and defend the country. you don't deserve respect. like it or not the army is the most crucial dept of a country. put some respeck on it

Are you sure you're okay upstairs? He posted what these barbaric soldiers do at any given opportunity and you rather call him wicked? You better stop treating every non-soldier you see with utter disregard and disrespect. The land has laws, abide by them not just because you are a soldier you think you have become better than everyone else and still demand respect Better warn your colleagues too because a lot of us have no sympathy for you guys, none at all.

Bro, you don't have to doubt anything. I know you all ate surprise; but, just know that in every group, there are bound to be the good and the bad. I am known for being on the side of truth. And I must stand by it. Most of my colleagues on nairaland may not like my approach here, but u can't just hold back. I must say the truth. I swore during my childhood to defend my country, and to serve her in truth and honesty when the time comes(,ie, when I grow up), and that is what I'm doing.
