An objective opinion on the Nigerian Army
An objective opinion on the Nigerian Army
The general belief is that no country the world over survives the threats of insecurity without a robust and disciplined army. Nigeria is not an exception.
Barely six years after independence the Nigeria Army was dragged into politics by a group of overzealous, tribal warlords and unpatriotic young soldiers that murdered democracy on the platter of ethno-religious sentiment. Since that unfortunate development that culminated into a civil war, the army has not been same.
For patriots and those who care about the security of Nigerians; the setbacks that the army is suffering in their fight against Boko Haram must indeed be of concern. There are worries in those quarters because the defeat of the army by the insurgents has the potential to undermine the corporate existence of the country and implode the hope of the African race all over the world.
