Reactions as man speaks about US army
@DurojaiyeSegun noted:
"A mechanic in the US Army is equivalent to a major general in the Nigerian Army. Learn and relearn this!"
@Ohijeme added:
"This mentality is why we don’t make progress in Nigeria. Looking down on people’s jobs. We like titles well well."
@tyexploit stressed:
"So what you are saying is that instead of them applying to an automobile workshop to learn, they enroll with the millitary to become a mechanic ? I hope you know that the military has different departments but with the same military training."
@Dazzle_3D said:
"Are you aware all of them, including medics and cooks, go through basic combat training? Maybe we will find out soon. Maybe."
@Biraphil noted:
"If any such thing as a strand of hair from the head of that US army who you call mechanic goes missing, you'll know that he is valued probably more than the way a colonel of the Nigerian army is valued."
@EssienUdoka added:
"Just so you know. We have music unite in the Nigerian army. They play live band in any military events and they also went through the same military training like the infantry division or any other combat division. No dey fall hand bro."
@princejH2O said:
"When will Nigerian Army be a regarded with such love, respect and high esteem that joining will be a thing of flex ? Gone are the good old days !!!"

Nigerian peacekeeper says he’ll quit army
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that a Nigerian man serving with the United Nations peacekeeping mission, Falegan Opeyemi David of Ekiti, vowed on Facebook that he would resign rather than obey any order to fight in Nigeria if US president Donald Trump’s threat to send troops leads to UN involvement.
He said Ekiti is his life and source of strength, insisted he would never take part in an invasion of his homeland even if terrorists were the target, and warned that any US action that drags the UN in would directly involve him.
