Read what Alex Badeh said about the Nigerian military in January

At his handing over ceremony yesterday, former Chief of Defense staff Alex Badeh said he led a military that lacked equipment. Now read what he said about the military when he was still in office in January 2015. He said this in an interview with Nigerian Defence Magazine here
“The Nigerian military is very well taken care off. We live in houses we don’t pay accommodation for. We have buses that bring troops to work every day and take them back home. We don’t pay for light; we don’t pay for water. Our salaries are good compared with what is paid in the civil place. If someone with school certificate joins the army, by the time he is five years in the service, his salary has doubled that of a graduate. Why do you think Nigeria is doing that for us?
Nigeria is doing that for us because we have vowed that we will defend our nation if need be with our blood. So for a soldier to come up and say ‘I’m not well equipped’ yet you have a riffle; what do you want? You want APC, you want tanks? The basic weapon of an infantry man is riffle, so why should there be mutiny? Why should you accuse your commander of leading you into an ambush? Come on! How can your commander lead you to an ambush? If they kill my soldiers, then of what use will I be? No commander will do that deliberately.
This is the time for Caesar, all the time has been for God, all the time we have been taking salaries, we go and do exercise saying we I do this, I will do that; I will fly like this ad fly like that. All those ones you are preparing for, the day Caesar will come and demand for his pound of flesh, and Caesar has come now and he is saying, look come and do your work, and you are saying you are not going? No, it does not work like that.”he said

You are a wicked man! Yet you courtmartialled young soldiers.

I feel he was trying to encourage them to use what they had to fight. It was either fight with riffles like that or die in the hands of bokoharam cos there were no weapons. A motivational talk is all I see, albeit misplaced at that time though cos bokoboys were far much more equipped. No wonder people died so much then, can't believe our army had only rifles and yet westerners didn't want them to get more weapons.

Nigerians should be blaming these two faces of devils for the failure of last administration, these are men that deceived themselves , the country and the president, if Buhari does not take time with the bunch of them surrounding him, they will ruin him same way.

BONARIO NNAGS said...

Imagine "why would an army man with rifle claim he's not equiped"
And yesterday he claimed he headed a Nigerian defence that was ill-equiped. His tenure as the chief if defence staff must be investigated.
And to think we've lost many soldiers to the actions of people like him.
Those who refused to face boko haram with koboko and catapult were sentenced to death for mutiny.
He must be held accountable.

politics!, politics!!, politics!!!. everything in Nigeria have been politicized, since the military said they can't find PMB certificate b4 the election and after he Won the election they found the certificate. so what do u expect.

Dee Awoot said...

Elenu meji bi obe. They better grant amnesty to those soldiers sentenced to death for mutiny now! Their boss has confirmed that their basis for engaging in mutiny in the first place is well-founded and unshakeable. They should rather charge this Agbaya for verbal treason and oral mutiny. Can you fight?

Just ate his word. The military generals are so difficult to trust, imagine him playing politics with people's life, Whereas there are soldiers who are still in military prison only because they voiced out cos of situation of things in the military.
May God help us.

Wow! what a display of shame. Why do our military commanders lack intelligence compare to their counterparts in developed countries. Well, i don't think it's their fault, the system has been faulty from abnition if not someone like this should't be a CDS.

Anonymous said...

He should definitely be tried for crimes against humanity and corruption, when he had collected trillions for security and defense, he came out to say this, now that his ass has been sacked he's singing a different tune. He just caused unnecessary deaths of both civilians and soldiers, bcos if they hadn't looted all the monies for ammunition and welfare, the fight against boko haram would have had positive outcomes. Selfish bastard. Look at his size sef, he looks like a hippo! And dude be calling himself a service man

Anonymous said...

Yet if he gets probed some sentimental idiots will call it witch hunting. Uve all heard what he said, yet they kept passing trillions of naira in defense budget that somehow grew wings and didn't manifest into weapons for the soldiers

Nigerians be glad the spirit of God came upon him and he testified the truth ,like he said in his speech every day has been for God .

As Buhari is appointing only northerners, let only northern military members be sent to fight boko haram

Pls ask d fat idiot hw much dey re payng least soldier.? D fact is dat, ther salary has bn divided into two, while half goes into ther bastard pocket. Meanwhile, d least soldier is being paid N46.000 monthly as at of today. All d service chiefs are thiefs

Anonymous said...

Thank you very much broda. U jst said my mind. n yet he knew the truth. Meanwhile mutiny is death sentence, n he was playing politics with people's lives, bcos he was not at d Warfront. Pple can be so selfish. And it gets worse when they are leaders

Anonymous said...

He might have said all these to give morale to his soldiers. It's understandable. U don't judge a man till u knw the options he had to choose from... but on the other hand this military heads played a lot of politics wit d lives of their juniors which is highly inhumane
