Our Nigerian troops are dying daily. Most experienced army personnel are being retired, killed or dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose boys recruited into the service have no experience on the job. They kill them daily like chickens. We cannot fold our hands while the battle is taking to our doorstep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso speaking, Major Usman Momoh (Rtd), said it is a bad situation we find ourselves in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, Nigerians are not sincere with themselves. We betray ourselves simply because or money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cthose sponsoring criminals keep loading foreign mercenaries to Nigeria to fight our security, kill us and when their population is reduced, the sponsors of these criminals, go to other countries and bring more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said those fighting Nigerians are foreigners, sponsored by Nigerian rich men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, the experienced military officers are gone, living the few who are learning on the job, to face bandits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of these foreign bandits are trained military who are being persuaded to come and take arms against Nigerians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Moses Wamah, an expert in Conflict peace and security operations said, \u201cwe all know that the power, strength of our military personnel are getting low, weak every day. Which is not good for this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also know that they are foreigners recruited to fight us. But nature, their experience in fighting, is not known. We also know that if you want to bring someone to farm for you, for example, you look for strong people. Therefore, the sponsors of these bandits know the quality of these bandits before recruiting them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the bandits could be 50-60 years, provided they can fight gallantly, their sponsors recruit them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is unlike recruitment in the Nigeria force, where specific qualifications and age limit applies. Even those recruited have no experience elsewhere. Some do not have interest in the job, but because there is no job, they have to accept the job,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to the security operatives, the federal and state government to restrategize and restructure their respective battalion, for effective operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
