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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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
