A retired general and former director at the Defence Headquarters, Brigadier-General Ayodele Ojo, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to re-introduce “War Against Indiscipline,” a programme he launched as a military Head of State.
Ojo said:
“There is no better time than now to go after the people who have contributed, through corruption, to the rot in the country. We need to realise that four years is too short to make any meaningful impact in the war against corruption.
“Buhari, therefore, needs to start now. He cannot afford to tarry or delay. I will like to go further by suggesting that the President should re-launch the War Against Indiscipline and corruption, which was aborted in 1985 (when he was overthrown in a military coup).
“During the presidential campaign, President Muhammadu Buhari promised to fight corruption. He once said that if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill us. We must therefore not be under any illusion that the war against corruption is going to be easy.
“It is very difficult for me to understand why some Nigerians are being sentimental about the current attempt to fight corruption. I want to plead with Nigerians to support and encourage this administration in its fight against corruption.”
“For example, some of the roles they played in the last general elections are questionable. The problem, to me, has to do with the politicians who always attempt to drag the security forces into partisan politics.
“The way out is for the security forces to resist the politicians, remain focussed and apolitical. The politicians must also leave the security forces alone to perform their constitutional roles devoid of external influence,” the former DHQ director added.
During the implementation of WAI, the Buhari-led military regime had ordered Nigerians to form queues at bus stops, under the stern watchful eyes of horsewhip-wielding soldiers. During the period, civil servants were also punished for not being punctual at work, as those who arrived late for work were forced to do frog jumps.
Asking adults to frog jump because they are late to work isn't for a civilized country like ours.

WAI ko , WAEC ni.... stupid general. we dont live in that age no more. What he should do is take another civilised direction in achieving what he wants to. not some old WAI or wateva
But stealing the country's commonwealth, and selling foodstuffs in the office instead of doing your job is for a "civilized" country like ours? Whatever it takes for nigerians to be disciplined is okay by me...we are too stubborn headed..
Supported.
He should promote that ideology of "War against corruption" but differ in d implementing of it.

Some of these ex-military men think like cows! Is this north korea?! That regime only workd under dictatorship not democracy.
I am pro-war against indiscipline but asking adults to frog jump because they are late for work is degrading and trampling on ones human right. People have all sorts of unknown illnesses, what if the person slumps while carrying out the purnishment?
I suggest that they should carry out a salary deduction scheme if one is found guilty.the way to do is by creating a unit that monitors such activities.
Yesssoo, WAI supported though i had not been born when it was used but I heard it helped put order into our system but I certainly do not support telling adults to do frog jump.Nigerians abhor order and discipline.
Our country is civilized?? Linda, U tripping
