Days after soldiers of the Nigerian Army opened fire on peaceful demonstrators in Lekki killing and maiming many, Marines of the US Army successfully rescued a lone American citizen from his armed kidnappers hiding deep in a Nigerian jungle.
These two events graphically illustrate the difference between villainy and valour; cowardice and courage; parochialism and patriotism. Once more, our country is served a bitter lesson: Our Army no longer defends us, it defends only those we elected to serve us! If the leadership of the Nigerian Army has any dignity, heads would roll. Real soldiers don’t shoot at defenceless citizens seeking a better society.
Only criminals do. Army Generals who cannot defeat rag-tag terrorists after 10 years probably do not deserve to be called Generals. They are only pretenders. They should have no place in a modern, professional army. ~ Powered by The Elipses Ideation Company (TEIC)
