Manpower Vs Armoury: Tale of the Nigerian Soldier – Omojuwa.com’s Dinah Adams Engaged Nigerian Soldiers

Posted on by

A farmer to the farm without a hoe probably has no intention of tilling the earth. Words about how our Soldiers have been conditioned to battle boko haram without decent armoury has hovered enough and is ready for thrashing.

Note that the words, “Nigerian Soldiers” here will always begin with capital letters, which is a glimpse for the reader to understand the high pedestal of honour rendered, on which these men are beheld.

And that should start it; of course they are men with flesh and blood, tears and sweat, emotions and faith. These men however subject themselves to all sorts of inhumane treatment to themselves, all in the name of training to attain the “Soldier” status and experience the alteration of the default man, because the danger does not find them; they find danger.

“Soldiers Love War”, one of them confessed with an excitement that can be likened to the connection between a child to a candy. One would obviously blend into comprehending this statement because we are meant to understand the kinds of training they engage in. One mentioned how his final training deprived him of sleep for three days, in a thick forest and stood the risk of being shot or gunned down by his own counterparts (with real steel bullets).

Point is, these men put their lives on the line even before they march forward to protect their country, which is their primary duty.

Now picture a typical Nigerian house girl who is expected to wash the children’s cloths and dishes without her madam providing her with detergent or any cleaning agent. Madam should be rest assured that these cloths and dishes will enter water, but that does not do the job.

Be reminded of the fact that armoury is not sold in the provision store down the street and no magician has turned a bunny to a rifle yet.

It is thus tremendously and awfully disturbing that these Soldiers are handed with a 60 round ammunition rifle each without steel helmet and fragment jacket. Notice, it is not a bullet proof jacket, but a fragment jacket. Question now is, what happens to the Soldier if he has exhausted his bullets? Here are possible options, use stones, get killed or employ Tai Chi; whichever ways, going home is not among the options, neither is asking for more rounds.

It will disgust you more than interest you to know that, the old school alpha jets given to our Soldiers dates back, even before Shagari’s administration, or maybe the fact that our armoured tanks cannot trail beyond 1 Kilometre without stoppage. And if you have seen any Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher in the possession of the Nigerian Soldiers, it must be the one they seized from boko haram. Our Soldiers weren’t given one or probably never had one.

As if not arming these men is not enough, some of the Soldiers have confirmed the possibility of very highly placed Nigerian citizens who are devoted to snitching our noble Nigerian Soldiers sent out there to the battlefield to protect lives and properties. One revealed that Soldiers had been expecting weapons for over six months and when they eventually arrived, they were seized by insurgents after six major attempts to move them to Maiduguri.

It is horribly annoying to realise that the political interests of some specially insane and unpatriotic people are justifiable enough for them to put the lives of our Nation’s Soldiers in the line. It was a shame to discover that Boko Haram used the T55 (Tank Gun) they seized from the Nigerian Army to attack Bama. We were made to understand that the insurgents employ the sophisticated military strategies and intelligence against our Soldiers; i. e “Platoon- Company- Battalion.

Thus the big question won’t be asking who leaks valuable security information to the insurgents, rather let the questions be skipped and let these snakes be brought to public light and charged with treason and the murder of noble Nigerian Soldiers.

A couple of these Soldiers confessed that they are highly capable of wiping out the persisting insurgency, but the big boys in Defence Headquarters are not willing to allow that happen yet. It was disappointing to realise that some Nigerian citizens made mockery of our Soldiers after reports said they ran into Cameroon to flee from the insurgents. Truth however is, no human born of a woman will stand if he is holding a FN Rifle and his opponent is holding a rocket launcher.

Soldiers revealed that out of a hundred BH troops, 50 of them carry rocket launchers, while some had anti- aircraft guns to fight with.

More so, some of the Nigerian Soldiers said there are no efforts whatsoever put in place to boast their morale. No armoury, no food, 30 thousand monthly payment, betrayal and even denial of Fallen Soldiers by the Government.

Let’s be reminded again that these men are men with flesh and blood, tears and sweat, emotions and faith. Some of them have wives and children and have not felt the warmth of their homes for a long time. These men have shed blood, tears and sweat to protect the lives and properties of other nations’ citizens within Africa and have halted civil wars courageously. They are still shedding blood, tears and sweat to defeat the common enemy of their very own Motherland with insufficient armoury and are persisting amidst betrayal and injustice. Let the story of the Nigerian Soldier be said by the nationals they protect and let it never cease till the armoury matches the manpower of the Nigerian Soldier.
