When one of the newly recruits was asked to give an some words of advice to the civilians, she said:

“They are very useless and hopeless. If I catch them, body go tell them. Tell them say make them no cross my lane o, if them try am”.

Another said in the video: “The worst thing on earth is to be a civilian.”

Another said “I’ll flog them. I’ll flog them,” when asked what she will do to erring civilians.

Nigerians reacting to the video, as started tagging the Nigerian Army, while some defended them, saying they were happy and no threat to the country.

I wish they were referring to Boko Haram, Bandit and all… And not Civilians.
Obviously, those giving orientation at the Nigerian Army training Depot needs to change their mindset on Military/Cilvilian Relationship. Alot needs to be done. https://t.co/3YZU58tJLB
