Concerns In South-East States As Indigenes Shun Nigerian Army (HQNigerianArmy) Recruitment, Fail To Meet Quota | Sahara Reporters

November 5, 2022The Enugu State government had on Friday also expressed worries over the inability of the state to fill its quota in previous recruitment exercises.

The government, while announcing the expected visit of a team from the Army Headquarters to the state, urged Enugu youths to take advantage of the ongoing recruitment exercise to be enrolled into the army. “The visit is to confer and interact with the political leadership and various stakeholders of our state regarding the observed apathy of the young men and women of our state with regard to the previously conducted recruitment exercises. Unfortunately, this has become an appalling and recurring issue adversely affecting Enugu State’s representation in the Nigerian Army according to the data emanating from the Federal Character Commission.

“To reverse this retrogressive trend therefore, a team from Army Headquarters is billed to meet with the Government of the State, the leadership of various youth organisations, socio-economic and political stakeholders, traditional rulers, town union presidents and the clergy, in order to forge a way forward to educate and enlighten the teeming youths of the state on the merits and prospects of serving the nation through the Nigerian Army.

Out of the 81,005 applications received nationwide as of January 7, 2022, 1,404 applications – less than two per cent of the total applications – were received from the five states in the South East, with Anambra State having the least figure of 158 applicants.

HQNigerianArmy No more Nigeria, let us go on our separate ways

HQNigerianArmy How can someone use his own hand write death warrant , Igbo man joining Nigeria army is like a soldier joining their enemy to fight his country.

HQNigerianArmy I also want to see report that the south east shun the NNPC, IRS and CBN recruitment. If you want them to join the army, also give them equal right to join NNPC, CBN and IRS too.

HQNigerianArmy Transforming Nigerian Youths Program in inconjunction .With their android phones ,they do it.And is free data when they use MTN/9mobile line to apply. It all about enterprenuership Skills. Age :18-35

HQNigerianArmy There should be a country before the army.The fulani hijacked government is killing non fulanis in the army yet you want to recruit more.Why are you killing the youths in the East?The contraption should be divided,let each be on her own. It is the EXPLOITERS that want'one nigeria

HQNigerianArmy The average Igbo man has given up on Nigeria, those who are trying to be patriotic are doing so hoping for a better Nigeria; for a greater percent, PeterObi is their last hope.

HQNigerianArmy Nigeria will remain one. They are only losing what they got on platter of gold on the platter of protest. I wish they realize this very soon!

HQNigerianArmy Bias set of people.

Nnamdi14108597 HQNigerianArmy No right thinking SouthEasterner will join the Nigerian Military to help them kill their own! No true SouthEasterner with the blood of the Indigenous People of Biafra would join to massacre their kin! FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow FreeBiafraNow 🕊

HQNigerianArmy Is an approach every youth's in the entire south should adopt as the Nigeria military has been infiltrated by the terrorist and control by Northern jihadist.

HQNigerianArmy No sensible Nigerian will like to join Nigeria army of today ,that's northern army not Nigeria army , South Easterners that are there now what have they gained so far , absolutely nothing

HQNigerianArmy Being a Soldier is not just wearing Uniform and marching in parades. After the parades, look inside and see that the Nigerian Army is not the place for any sensible Southeastern boy or girl with a future.

HQNigerianArmy Thunder will fire whoever shouts marginalization in future...

HQNigerianArmy Fulani caliphate called Nigeria is Yugoslavia of Africa in which the six geopolitical zones are sovereign states. This territory natives in the military, police etc. has choice to join their sovereign states now or die in vain with defeated Fulani terrorists.

HQNigerianArmy Allied military or this territory natives Disintegrated Republics should work with SUNO member states and countries from west West which are against Fulani minority rule to Bomb Down house of Fulani terrorists nickname Defence Headquarters, Aso Rock etc. The Sword decides.

HQNigerianArmy Do you beat a child and tell the child not to cry? Buhari has been the worst President in further dividing the nation, and alienating South-Easterners. Using Nigeria military to kill South-Easterners unprovoked. THE NIGERIAN MILITARY SHOULD BE SHUNNED. Very well.

HQNigerianArmy We can never ever again be part of the terrorist infected Military. Let the born to rule people get the recruitment.

HQNigerianArmy They will still say that they're marginalized.

HQNigerianArmy Nigeria soldiers killed south East without mercy, nobody cannot bear such pain.... Ndi-Igbo prefer to join military outside the country.

HQNigerianArmy I will never advice any of my friends or family to join the Nigerian army. They can join the US or UK army Sha It's better than dying like a chicken in the Nigerian army

HQNigerianArmy we hv refused to investigate soldiers deaths in service especially fighting boko haram, if u don’t understand what Igbos pass through just to be accepted in the military and what the pass through after accepting them. The truth is Nigeria don’t want Igbos but can’t leave them

HQNigerianArmy Make Eastern political elite enrol their children their.. na so these people killed that young vibrant Yoruba airforce lady like 3 years ago now.

HQNigerianArmy We are not Nigerians, we are Biafrans and can't die in the hand of the Boko Haram in the name of fighting for the useless and failed entity.

HQNigerianArmy Because the army only send igbos to die in the hand of Boko Haram!

HQNigerianArmy Because we are no more Nigerians, but Biafrans.... We don't join BokoHaram Fulani terrorists infested HQNigerianArmy....If you joined HQNigerianArmy and you are sent to Biafraland, you better be aware that you are not going home. In Biafra you take your last breath

HQNigerianArmy Is it by force to join your boko haram fulani terrorist army? When they borrowed money from foreign banks , hey excluded SE and shared it amongst themselves. All you ofeke's went six feet. Ndi ara

HQNigerianArmy And later they will be shouting nonsense

HQNigerianArmy Biafrans don't want them! 119 Days Remaining for Biafra Liberation!

HQNigerianArmy We are not Nigeria and we can never be a Nigerian, So we have nothing to do with that evil forest. Serve Nigeria and come back in shame Our youths are wiser now. Is better I hang myself than me joining Nigeria force. Because Nigeria is an expired British product since 2014.

HQNigerianArmy Oh, to recruit Igbos that the Fulani government is holding up their son, Nnamdi Kanu in captivity to join army to die fighting the bandits in the North ba? Well-done.

HQNigerianArmy Good for them.

HQNigerianArmy All these argument is not even the issue the issue here is that southeast has discovered that the northerners has a separate agenda in fighting the terrorist in their domain because last summer the southeastern soldiers that was deployed in fighting bokoharam complained that...

HQNigerianArmy We are Biafrans period BiafraExit BiafraReferendum

HQNigerianArmy Even my late pops who retired honorably as a senior officer after 32+ years in service refused endorsing me [a full fledged barrack pikin] for service. He only explained it to me 4 days before his death why, and you don’t want to know; military lost value over time.

HQNigerianArmy Are they recruiting soldiers to be killed by the terrorists or to serve Nigeria populace? According to history I'd guess the 1st. 😩😩😩

HQNigerianArmy So they won't be killed like chicken in the Battle field na. We don wise up

HQNigerianArmy They shun the army recruitments to their own detriment. governors and leaders APCPDP are the problems of SE. They don't mobilize the people for federal government programs. Enlightenment is part of good governance. They are after looting the treasury. Vote PO to stop this trend.

HQNigerianArmy IPOB ESN suppress their freedom of expression

HQNigerianArmy We are no longer interested in Nigeria all we are say is for date for referendum

HQNigerianArmy You guys looking for boys to send to Sambisa ?

HQNigerianArmy How many times like these have the zoo Nigeria government ask south east people to join nnpc?

HQNigerianArmy Go to schools and the streets and schools to recruit them to meet their quota. You should not close the list and make this kind of resort. Calling a dog a bad name to hang it. Is that also why you don't hire them in customs and police. Did you contact their governors ‽? Damn

HQNigerianArmy Marginalization in the Nigerian Army against the Igbos is real. If a Fulanized senior officer don't help you, you're own is sorry. Intimidation and suspicion!

HQNigerianArmy Was their part of Quata meet in federal appointments

HQNigerianArmy I can't figure out d calculation of those ipob,they want to run away from Nigeria and they want their to be president of Nigeria. We are watching.

HQNigerianArmy This is what we are saying. Later now they'll blame Fulani for joining Army while they'll were joining ESN. Don't worry you'll soon mature.

HQNigerianArmy What happened to NPDC,DPR,LNG quota? The Southerners aren't meant for slutter like sheep.If you can't accept them as Nigerians,kill them at every little or not provocation,why would they join ur military? Allow them to go if the hate can't be stopped.

HQNigerianArmy What happend to NLNG quota? You want to recruit and send them to sambisa forest while the northern soldiers will be deployed to Niger Delta states to carry out Bunkery activities.

HQNigerianArmy We are not interested in zoo Nigeria terrorist army because Nigeria army is compromised

HQNigerianArmy A Son of the Soil who finds himself in the SEVEN or ONE Nigerian military is like a Lion who finds himself in the midst of hungry Hyenas. If you're a Son of the Soil in there already or about to get enlisted, please be very careful.

HQNigerianArmy No be uniform they are all bush meat in the hands of real men in the bush, mad people everywhere

HQNigerianArmy We can't join bokoharam infested army

HQNigerianArmy Join military that will just use you to dodge bullet, send you to kill your own people and later sacrifice you to bokoharam people. Nigeria is a scam

HQNigerianArmy We have died enough for their senseless war

HQNigerianArmy Like I should join one evil organization? I tried to stopping my cousin from joining this d£th trap and that was one of my greatest achievement

HQNigerianArmy HQNigerianArmy is a terrorist organization

HQNigerianArmy Recruitment in government sector is almost never straightforward. The processes are shrouded in high level secrecy. That's for me the reason people are developing cold shoulders. This engagement however, is a welcome development. I hope easterners take full advantage.

HQNigerianArmy No one dine with his killers

HQNigerianArmy This is a sad development. But we must remember that this has been occasioned by long term institutionalized system of inequity in recruitment processes.

HQNigerianArmy Them no fit give us minister, Them no fit recruit us into NNPC, But they want us to join army

HQNigerianArmy It's easier for a Horse to pass through the eye of a needle than a young man of Igbo extraction getting into HQNigerianArmy

HQNigerianArmy They are business oriented people and the business pay them more, this is my own thot. Why would they want to abandon business n join a poorly equipped force with poor welfare n pension not paid regularly after retirement.

HQNigerianArmy Is of no use joing Nigeria Army at the end Fulana will take all the head of chief staffs

HQNigerianArmy So u want people to go join the army wey quota system will make a fulani man a general before me even if I am technically and efficiently better than him abi? When we abolish the quota system and introduce merit and efficient system I think pple will join.

HQNigerianArmy Until Nigeria is better, it's not concern that Igbos can not be trusted to lead Nigeria, rather to join Nigeria Army

HQNigerianArmy Terrorist in uniform

HQNigerianArmy Failed to meet quota or the people that applied were not employed because they is no one to help them. Report properly please.

HQNigerianArmy Joining Nigeria army now is unnecessary risk,the composition of her hierarchy is more or less a community vigilantes meeting with a lot of compromising positions, nobody will want to go and risk his life there knowing fully well that army has been fully compromised

HQNigerianArmy HQNigeriaArmy should recruit more Boko haram terrorist

HQNigerianArmy We don't want it

HQNigerianArmy I hope Yorubas also run for their dear lives! Nigerian armies are terrorists!

HQNigerianArmy Few wey go agree enter will be as a result of hunger, starvation and frustration.

HQNigerianArmy Nice one

HQNigerianArmy They should form their own army to protect their land. Nigerian army is not for them

HQNigerianArmy Killing and murdering unarmed Shia civilians in Nigeria is the legacy of the genocidal Buhari regime using the Nigerian army and police. Thousands brutally murdered just to please the bloodthirsty Saudi Wahhabi barbarians. ElbinawiTweets

HQNigerianArmy I am still blocked by the verified Twitter handle of the Nigerian army due to my daily campaign for Justice of victims of the ZariaGenocide. When an army try to silence an Activist that denounce all forms and guise of terrorism & banditry then know that such army is compromised.

HQNigerianArmy Quota system of governance; Yeye country

HQNigerianArmy Why concern? People should be allowed to make their own choices. There are Nigerians willing and are ready to be recruited. Opportunity should be given to those who are willing

HQNigerianArmy In US Army more of Igbos are there, so leave them alone

HQNigerianArmy Real igbos don’t join terrorist organizations!

HQNigerianArmy Where did they gathered this premature baby's from? Parents please safe your children from the hands of the zoo killers.

HQNigerianArmy They will end up sending them to Boko Haram infested states

HQNigerianArmy Why should we join the Nigerian army when they're shooting our brothers and sisters already in the army from behind?

HQNigerianArmy Whom want to die for Nigeria that is not working for Nigerians whom want to die for Nigeria army terrorists has taking over a nation when they released terrorists boko haram hardsmen kidnappers and jailed innocent people Nigeria is dead let peter obi come wake it up

HQNigerianArmy Let them go.... They haven't hidden the disdain for this country. Let them go.

HQNigerianArmy You want them to join an organization that's terrorizing the entire Igbo community. I see you people are mad. Who wants to join a state sponsored terrorist organization? It's like asking Igbo people to join Boko Haram. Are you people okay? Nigerian Army ko, Nigerian Army ni

HQNigerianArmy Dem dey do demself. Is a simple as dat.

HQNigerianArmy Not a good outlook

HQNigerianArmy They are not wanted, they are treated like slaves, so they have stopped being second choice. You garrit?

HQNigerianArmy Wetin concern us. Make them go join IPOB/ ESN bt dem gonna FALL. No be by force. Other region go take their space. Aregion wey dey run politics with SENTIMENT and EMOTIONS no dey go far. SE, wake up!

HQNigerianArmy They were never there for our betters!

HQNigerianArmy They are tired of being used as cannon fodder by Nigeria military. They are recruited to be placed in battle fronts making it easy for them to be killed by boko haram.

HQNigerianArmy None of my siblings or family will join

HQNigerianArmy Ok na

HQNigerianArmy So that they will send them to where bokoharam will kill them athink?

HQNigerianArmy Igbo man will join army they will deploy him to sambisa forest

HQNigerianArmy Treat them right. You can’t Stagnate them in their own country For 8 years, not one southeasterner, has been a service chief Even head of Fire Service? What do you want from them? They can’t lead but can only die? In the US, SE are serving, so Nigeria check yourself

HQNigerianArmy Give it to Fulanis as you normally do in everything, we don't need it. Lawless zoo

HQNigerianArmy Biafra or Oduduwa need to withdraw from Nigeria. The rest of the country with Fulani can be proudly Nigeria. I agree

HQNigerianArmy We are not joining terrorist organization called a country CREATED by demonic foreigner. We can Join a country CREATED by our chukwu okike Abiama called BIAFRA.

HQNigerianArmy We'll never be part of a fraudulent system that only show it surface than it depth of crime to humanity

HQNigerianArmy So they can be eating agbado and ewa, abi?

HQNigerianArmy Nigeria is not for us, we are Biafrans

HQNigerianArmy How can someone with his right sense join HQNigerianArmy where they mixed repentant BOKO-HARAM with soldiers
