"My Open Letter to The Nigerian Army
No!!! Nooo!!! Noooooo!!!!! Noooooooo!!!!! This has got to STOP, this gross misuse of power & arrant broad daylight disregard for civilians by the military, pls remind me is this Democracy or a Military Regime??? For Heaven sake THE MAN IS HANDICAPPED !! I don't even want to know what he did or didn't do, reports are saying its because " he wore Camouflage" REALLY??? Is that reason enough for this inhumane act, Is that the reason why dollar is hell bent on attaining 1000 Naira to a dollar before my birthday in April?? , is that the reason why diesel is 270N in a Petroleum Exporting Country?? its only in Nigeria that someone's house will be burning, & the house owner will be busy spraying insecticide in the Other Room to kill mosquitoes & cockroaches, as if when the house is burnt, both owner, pet & pests will not go down... with all that is happening in the country right now, this should be the least of the Armies worry. Pls pls pls, CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF, CHIEF OF DEFENSE, pls talk to your officers, if you pple want us to leave the country so it can be a country of military personnel just let us know... with great power comes great responsibility, i can't keep calm anymore, Injustice any where is a TREAT to justice EVERYWHERE!!! That poor man is someones Relative.. TO WHOM BRAIN IS GIVEN, SENSE IS EXPECTED....  (Pls if you know this man, pls contact me, let me give him CLOTHES, as they don't want to see him in their Uniform) "

Now that is clear brutality on the part of the so call Nigeria Army who has nothing better to do but to keep harassing Nigerians they suppose to be serving. Those idiots need to be court martial. What am I saying, who is going to court martial them when they are all the same from the head of the Nigerian Army to the very last. Nigeria is a failed state, Presidents, Politicians, Police, Army, Airforce and Navy are all brain dead fools who need to be wiped out of the country.
The country is a mess all because Nigerians elect thieves, agberos illiterates above all fools to lead a country of over 170 million people. Is a shame Nigeria don`t have laws. The judges, who suppose to save the people are the most corrupt. that Nothing works in Nigeria, electricity, roads, banks, airport, education, health etc.. I ask Nigeria which way? When are we going to wake up and save Nigeria from the hands of these idiots in power. The power belongs to the people not few idiots, political thieves, not the corrupt police or Army who cannot stop Boko Haram but beating a cripple Nigerian because he wear camouflage. What is wrong with wearing camouflage? In countries where camouflages are made, their citizen wear it. What is wrong with Nigeria? Where did we go wrong? Why don`t the so call leaders stop this nonsense where police and Army keep harassing their citizen. I am not a prophet but Nigeria days are numbered. If only we can stand together and get rid of the idiots who call themselves leaders. The so call Army leader call your boys to order to stop this stupid. Nigerians have suffered enough.

So pathetic.
Thank you for speaking out for this poor man and thanks for your interest to help with clothes.
This what we expect our celebrities to be doing..fighting for the defenseless in our society, not just to organize protests. Help in your own little way.

If someone commit a crime, the court should determine his or her punishment in correspond to the crime he committed.
Not some weed smokers going around beating people whom they accused of committing a crime.
ARE THIS TWO BANGER SMOKERS ABOVE THE LAW?  IF NO, THEN WE WANT TO SEE THEM IN JAIL.
