15 Generals retired. All southerners 14 of whom are Christians. Hmm. What were 15 Generals doing in a school of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in the first place? They were made redundant and now retired. I smell something bigger than a rat.
ReplyDeleteYou can as well smell something bigger than an elephant. the present chief of army staff is not only a core Ijaw man, he is from the Niger Delta, he is from the south south. The one before him is from the south as wel as being a xtian. So all this while your people have been the head of the army so it left for them to allow discrimination and marginalisation to be netted to their people. So Mr man, blame your people that head the army.
DeleteOh Gullible Jonathan you have destroyed your fortification. Muslim is the head of NESEME and you retired 14 christian generals at once? Infact something is wrong with your mind. You are not in control.

Does it really matter whether they are in active service or retired, if Boko Haram can conquer and hoist flag in Nigerian towns? Our relevance is in the effectiveness of what we do. The situation is a test of their professionalism but that is what they were trained for. Our goodwill to the retired officers, and let those still in active service reclaim lost grounds.
