Yesterday morning I was just checking some stuffs online when I saw this : https://www.nairaland.com/8564896/soldier-dismissed-shooting-terrorists#137528846 puff up stating : breaking, Nigeria soldier was dismissed because he fire back at boko Haram in an operation.  I was like wow! what is this our country turning into, so this terrorist are to be  protected despite all their evil did. Like am trying to get it all right, a soldier is being deployed to go and fight some set of terrorists (boko Haram) then along the line you may likely be killed if not careful, so eventually you were opportune to kill one of the terrorist and the so call officers ahead of you will get you dismiss all because you killed a terrorist I don't really understand, this has kept me curious and my question is this : is it that our leaders or people in power are some how involved in the insecurity going on in our nation? Or is their any personal gains or interest they're deriving in this killings and insurgency going on in Nigeria.

Your question is not from a place of emotion, but is deeply rooted in reality. To be honest, the terrorism situation in Nigeria cannot be blamed solely on the military. Our country is very complex with political interests, misinformation, corruption. Sometimes, outsiders share news without knowing the full context, and then it seems as if soldiers are punished for fighting terrorists. But internally, when a soldier breaks the Rules of Engagement the common people do not know these things.
However,,it is also true that some influential groups in long standing conflicts look for opportunities.

It is obvious that Boko Haram terrorism is politically motivated, and I so much feel pity for our Nigerian soldiers who have made up their mind to defend and fight for the security of this country Nigeria. But is very unfortunate that the security of our dear nation is being compromised by top political leaders and some stakeholders in the country leading to the massive killing of our soldiers. Why would a military commander ask a soldier not to kill a terrorist, something is fishy here, and is a clear evidence that it is politically motivated.

Because of this high level of betrayal in the Nigeria military, many youths now feel reluctant in joining Nigeria military because the leaders are not backing them up, the carry them to the camp of this Boko Haram to be slaughtered by them. Where dis our country de head de go? Only God will help us .

What do you expect the common people to know about emergency when a soldier fighting to save his life in a battle field not outside the battle field you dismissed him for fighting bandit. At times in Nigeria things that are supposed to be happening in the zoo happens in the country, a soldier fighting to defend the nation been dismissed for doing his job at the battle, does that make sence to any one. Its a true evidence that the military and Nigeria government are the once responsible for the constant death in the country

It's very sad and regrettable that this is how bad our government is right now, they are just playing with the lives of the soldiers deployed to combat the Boko Haram terrorist.
Currently the Boko Haram terrorist and iswap has infiltrated the Nigerian army to the extent that if they about to make any operations, their insider, who is a top ranking officer will not just leak out information, but they will even draft down measures to set up their colleagues at the front line, so am not really surprised by a new of this calibre because the Boko Haram and iswap has taken over the Nigerian army, and this is all the hand work of politicians that just want to destroy this country for their selfish interest.

The army is like a death trap currently, there is high level of internal politics in the military, anyone that’s in the army needs to be very careful else he will die the next minute, he should be happy he was dismissed because some other people what they do is post them to where the terrorist are much and the terrorist end up killing them, Nigeria is actually bleeding currently, and the sad part is that certain countries are involved, certain top individuals are involved and their interest is basically political dominance, religious sentiments and greed to harness certain natural resources.

This incident of dismissing a soldier just because he fired back at the terrorist is a sign that our government isn’t ready to fight terrorism, our leaders have blinded themselves with greed for power and money that they no longer care about human lives. Despite all the killings this past week no drastic step have been taken. I really fear for the future of Nigeria, i won’t advice even my enemy to join the army currently because it’s like signing one’s death warrant, they might just sell out positions and terrorist will invade and kill everyone, we are at a crossroad currently as a nation, its well.

I don't pity any of those soldiers killed by Boko Haram or what ever they called it's the defenseless citizens that are been killed daily that i do pity for. Our army are all zombie no b still them way them send to come kill una for lekki tall gate? Go do any peacefull protest if them no go send those zombie to come kill una, the military can't also win the war because this bandits and Boko Haram are been sponsor by top politicians in the country, those way i dey pity pass na those way wan go join army just sorry for them. What has your President or the army done since the murder of Brigadier General Musa Uba if they can kill a well protected person like the brigadier general who be you.

This is a sad reality that has befall Nigeria as a people, with this very action of the military you can clearly see that the terrorism that is happening in Nigeria is sponsored by some high ranked politicians, few days ago some students were abducted from the school, thereafter the same bandit's went and killed three persons abducted 5persons in Kwara, the most shocking aspects of it all is that the government is just mute, not a word has been said to address the situation.

Nigeria is becoming scary as the day goes by, one don't know who to trust. Brigadier M. Uba was attacked and grousomely killed by bandits and no action was taken and I asked myself if a Brigadier can be killed without the military taken any action what then happens to a common civilian?, such cases can't happen in other countries. The military would have send in troops immediately to combat the terrorist but because they have been sponsored by politicians everywhere is so quiet. Nigeria needs revolution.

It's quite unfortunate that something like this happened. I feel sorry for the officer who was dismissed as a result of his fear of death and fear of the death of his team members. But if we look into this matter critically, we'll see that his dismissal wasn't a form of unjust decision by his superiors.  I believe he was court-martialled, and the allegation against him was that he continued shooting even after being instructed to cease fire by his commanding officer, which is an offence in the military. You must obey and adhere to all standing orders given by his commanding officer.

Reports says that the order to cease fire by his commanding tactical withdrawal for repositioning strategy, he failing to obey that order led to led to breech in plan. So, I believe that may have significantly impacted the outcome of their battle which led to his dismisall. I also believe that as a soldier it's not right to act on discretion especially when you have been subjected to an order, also because I know the lives of military personnels are regimented. He as a personnel should know that already and not misbehave like he did.

Also, as Nigerians, let us not always blame the Government for some of the misfortunes that befalls some individuals, sometimes it is as a result of their poor decision or indecision.

Blame the government for rehabilitating repentant terrorists into the Nigeria military. These repentant terrorists are the ones leaking out classified military operations to fellow terrorists in the forest. In spite of the killings every where by Bandits [branded name for Boko haram], Nigeria government continues to sypathise with these terrorists. In Zamfara state, locals communities are tasks to pay taxes to terrorists before allowed to access their farms crops and to stay to alive, how can the Nigeria government allow this if their aren't compromised. How can the Nigeria government be paying Billions of tax players money to terrorists,this country is in a big mess because these terrorists have money to buy sophisticated weapons to carryout their devilish operations.
