Thank you for this insightful piece. As you’ve concluded, the Nigerian Army is ever present in civilian affairs, partly due to the ineptitude of the Nigerian police to maintain law and order. What the police lack in tact, the army makes up for in brutality. Ìkan ò gbèkan bí òwu jàngo (loosely translated as “none is better than the other”)
The Nigerian army is a relic of the past and I’m afraid it will remain so. Why? Because the elites and the ruling class enjoy the status quo. There’s something fundamentally wrong with the social contract.
