Soldiers revolt in Maiduguri over lack of ammunitions and poor condition

Angry soldiers from the newly formed 7th Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri today May 14th revolted against their General Officer Commanding, Major General Abubakar Mohammed, shooting sporadically in the Maimalari barracks, which is also home to the Artillery Corps, the Ordinance, as well as army signals in Maiduguri, Sahara Reporters reports
 
According to two soldiers who spoke with SR, emotions ran high when they saw the bodies of their colleagues ambushed and killed by Boko Haram men in Chibok, Borno state. The angry soldiers immediately started shooting into the air, complaining that their superior have failed to provide them with adequate weaponry with which to fight the war against the better-armed Boko Haram militants.
“We the soldiers don’t have the kind of arms and ammunition that [Boko Haram] fighters have. So everyday, they kill our men anyhow, but it is never published in the media,” said one source. The other source also complained that the commanding officers “are too busy ‘eating’ money. And they do not pay our allowances on time. And once [a soldier dies], nobody knows what happens to his allowances again.”
General Mohammed was immediately whisked out of the barracks to an unknown destination.

Nigeria is a useless place, I feel for this soldiers, this people put their lives on the line to ensure we are safe from boko boys, but no reward, if it was america, the soldiers are well respected and loved and taken care of by their government., somethings the people,even offer them free drinks if they go to a bar or free food or free anything,

I don't blame the soldiers as they do have a point. The government is just stupid and idiotic. People elected you into office and the least they could do is gbagaun, scratch head and be "clueless" yet heartless about everything. Billions are allocated for security yet even the president had to admit that the armoury was archaic! So why in God's name is he the commander in chief of the armed forces? I just tire!

SOLDIERS ARE TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND HONOR, THEY GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE SECURITY OF THE NATION. WHY IS IT THAT NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT CARE LESS ABOUT OUR SOLDIERS?

I HOPE THEY WON'T KILL OR LOCK UP GENERAL MOHAMMED.

IN AMERICA, THEY TREAT SOLDIERS, THEIR FAMILIES WITH VERY HIGH LEVEL OF DIGNITY, HONOR AND RESPECT. THEY ARE FIRST CONSIDERED BEFORE OTHERS.

SOMEBODY IS BUSY EATING THE MONEY THAT SHOULD GO INTO THE NIGERIAN MILITARY...WHERE IS THE MINISTER FOR DEFENSE?

This is the highest level of indiscipline and lack of human feeling on the part of the army generals to their boys no wonder the fight has no direction but a lot of distractions. Nigerian army is unable to contain BH because the so called generals are making fortune from the crisis and do not care about the poor soldiers who are wasted on daily basis. If I were Mr president i will ask all the generals to lead the battle and see whether BH will not disappear immediately.

It is so alarming and need I say nauseating how Nigerians attack,abuse and debase their country by way of debasing the highest office of their sovereignty. I just read a post about Mr president being mocked by a London news outlet and a lot of you young ones and even old people found it very amusing and right!some even made comments like *see una president like they aint nigerian,some said they should do mama peace own! Oh my people why do you people revel in SELF HATE! A mom with an Austic child who joins the peers of her child to chide him and make caricature of him shouldn't complain when people treat her wit disdain because she has indirectly invited it! You think that the mockery is for GEJ and not you,you lie!wake up from your illusion because you are Nigerian and cant change that! It hurts me because I do not like the way I get treated like a leper in a foreign land because my country to them is a joke and the worst country in the world!and I ask where did they learn this,the answer oh your people dont even deny it,u know they are very vocal about it.go online and see how they display that fact. Nigerian isn't worse than Northkorea but north koreans get treated better. I have a lot pilled up in me to say but I cant express them in words for I have failed to understand why my people hate themselves so much! I can only say,do not complain when you get disparaged by other countries even your fellow Africans for you invited it. I love my country!I have no other to call my own and I pray that someday my people will learn to love the imperfections of a nation built on falsehood by the same people whom they try to impress with their diatribes on their own motherland!

There is a process of governance in a democratic state and the president does not take unilateral decsion neither does he have any right to waddle into the affairs of the millitary!

How can this be true when citizens use stone and knives to kill over 200 boko haram, some of which are there prisoners now as I write bikes and cars taken from them it is either this story is false or the civilian militia group story is false... or both of them are false which simply means someone somewhere is still throwing dry wood into the fire.... People please think... also know that I am anti Jonathan so this is coming from a fair mind. somebody somewhere is playing with we Nigerians.

This is part of the things we're talking about. Can't wait to hear from conspiracy theorists.
There is a failure in the system,no need living in denial.
Nigerian military have not been this tested since after the civil war, the failure of combating Boko haram has exposed the rot in the system.
I could reacall when the Governor of Borno state said the Nigerian military are not well equipped to fight these terrorists,he was shouted down by presidential rotweilers. Scenarios like these buttresses his assertions.
God help Nigeria

It is very true, Nigeria Army is very corrupt I can tell u authoritatively bcos my husband is one of the officers on this operation and he complains about the corrupt attitude of their commanders and how they are enriching their pockets and not supplying them with sophisticated weapons and necessary medical supply, they loose officers and soldiers on a daily basis and keep their allowances to themselves, you can't imagine the trauma I go through daily thinking about my husband in that lions den. Linda, please reply me with ur email address so I can give u details of what is going on in this BH operation cos am sure the federal government does not know about how these army bosses are wasting their surbodinate and soldiers and using the operation to enrich themselves. I believe we can save their lives through this platform if we raise our voice like we did for the abducted girls. Thank you

I see your point but as you're praying for us to love our GEJ (who chose the situation - because I can't remember what he has brought to the table in his years if being in power - unlike the autistic child who didn't choose the situation) so pray that God touches his heart and the hearts of our leaders too cos God knows we want to be proud of our country

What ever happened to the cache of arms seized from the Turks a few years ago? Just a thought. The fact is that the soldiers should not be starved of arms at all.guns are very cheap an Ak47 is just about $500 bullets can be bought by the container easily. If you give me $5m I will purchase enough arms and equipment to run Boko haram out of Nigeria

They keep telling the soldiers stories such as; your money is with ministry of foreign affairs,your money is with ministry of Finance, your money is with ministry of defence, your money is on transit etc meanwhile they have embezzled they money and they are now finding it very difficult to pay.

Anon 6.17p you are either very ignorant or are trying to be clever by half. That is why the president is also the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces! He can 'waddle' into the affairs of the military, after all he just changed the top brass of the military!! So if he brought in incompetent people then he should be blamed. He has a right to ask for the head of any commander he feels is not doing his work. He who appoints can also dismiss.
BTW the rot in the military started long ago. During the Bakassi crisis the commander dared to complain than his men's allowances and feeding money were being 'chopped' by the senior officers in army headquarters. The top brass didn't take kindly to that. They decided to set him up for the kill (DIA) and when they failed they hounded him out of the army.

Anon 6.17p you are either very ignorant or are trying to be clever by half. That is why the president is also the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces! He can 'waddle' into the affairs of the military, after all he just changed the top brass of the military!! So if he brought in incompetent people then he should be blamed. He has a right to ask for the head of any commander he feels is not doing his work. He who appoints can also dismiss.

Lazy excuse by lazy soldiers. The youths who killed over 200 boko haram members are not half as armed as you fools. Future Events Appearing Real (FEAR) that's what you all have!!!

I tot u ppl are enjoying d maltreatment melted at u by ur superior, so now dat u are protesting, i beleive u guys are now tired to be used as sacrificial lambs.

If u dont complain we will not know now, say it d way it is let d whole world know what our Army superior officers are doing.

When Gov. Shetima said Boko HAram are better equiped dan Nigeria army dey said hes is telling lies, is it not obvious????

The whole system is corrupt. I feel for the families of the milliary men that die fighting for the safety of Nigerians like me and you. Truly they should stop deceiving them by promising them courses and later dumping them in Maiduguri. This is so unfair. I still wonder if GEJ 'the commander in chief of [ARMY FORCES] ever takes his time to review the military amory' its not about security votes nor is it about moving 12 battalions which till date we barely know if close to 80 of them are alive to tell the tale, its about being involved, in situations like this I believe in looking at things from the root and not spending billions on "international aids", for goodness sake GEJ should ask himself " be it not these armies that are ranked as the worlds best land armies ?" What then is the problem, I believe in Nigeria, I believe in its people but I do not believe that when u push a door to open and u wedge against it with ur legs that it would open. God bless and help our boys.

THE WAY CORRUPTION AND CULTURE OF IMPUNITY HAVE BEEN ENTRENCHED IN THIS COUNTRY, IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MASSIVE REVOLUTION OF COMMITTED, HARDENED AND RUGGED CITIZENS TO DISLODGE THEM.

NIGERIA POLITICIANS ARE USING THE BLOOD OF NIGERIANS TO "SOAK" GARRI.
