The directive, which military sources told PREMIUM TIMES went out late March, said all forms 9B have been suspended and would no longer be made available to soldiers willing to voluntarily discharge from service.
“Our men are giving up on the war for many reasons that are not limited to poor equipment supplies and the lack of empathy they keep seeing from their top commanders,” a military source who had seen the memo toldon Sunday. “The soldiers have been asked over and again to remain in service for the defence of their fatherland, but their hope has been waning.”
It was unclear how many officers and men have sought voluntary retirement under the division amidst Boko Haram offensive because the Nigerian Army does not publish the data and has ignored requests from the media and non-profits to do so. Anti-corruption activists blamed corruption amongst military chiefs for the poor living condition of soldiers and inadequate supply of modern warfare equipment.
“At the moral standpoint, soldiers have a right to turn in their retirement because of extant operational conditions that are unbearable,” Mr Mahmud said on Sunday. “This is even as we know that senior generals are feeding fat on the war budget.”
Recruits northerners now,se bii boko haram is your people, call you children to military now,they will take him to court.
Be ready for a lot of awol and desertion
Abeg if there is no voluntary retirement, then soldier should retired by force surrender all the belongs and then run away simple must anyone thought them this?
This Country keeps breaking you daily.
Why you send them to war front without proper weapon. You guys politicize the Military institutions and also make it business, we are losing many soldiers because you made the war business and making money, because those we loss they are not your children.
But if they're treating them well, would they want to resign?
You want to ensure you kill all of them because of your selfishness & sabotage?
This decision is nonsense.
I no do again no be by force. Our soldiers are no cowards, Chadian army are not better or more patriotic, they only don’t have terrorism enabler as C-in-C. You can’t continue feeding them to Boko Haram and not want them to resign. bring suya, bring suya…. na cow dey suffer am.
Why suspend voluntary retirement from a voluntary service? Joining the Nigerian military is by choice and motivated by love for country. When the love dies, you leave. You can't force a horse to drink water ya cunts
OMG
Please oh let them retire....You guys keep killing them like their lives don't matter all in the guise of an insurgency that is systematically set up by some rich & influential thieves in the society. THEIR LIVES MATTER TOO. Let the generals lead the war in Maiduguri.
Them one kee people finish... If na me I go run
Why?
Na by force now to serve Nigeria
The joke's on you
ayemojubar Why won't them retire, u take them to the forest, n tell them not to shot. Ur general hands them over to Boko Haram willingly. And u r still refusing to sack those generals responsible for this act.
Then, I will go on leave and never return to service.
A non existent morals, Zero motivation for work You’re postponing the days of evil
HQNigerianArmy allow them to go...you have caused the death of many already
AustinNwabufo
Because you ain't given them the matching order an equipment like d Chad did
AustinNwabufo It’s madness!!!
PM hope you are aware the NA using its Twitter handle has debunked this report, describing it as Fake News. Remember U have a reputation to protect
This is not a good development. To work should not be by force.
Disgusting soldiers. I would run away if I were those helpless soldiers and leave the generals to fight their war. Better still leave the battle to competent Chad Army. disgusting
That won't help either..... When you people are serious about ending the war, it would...but as you crops are heading this country's affairs, nothing will improve. BH war will end only when a southerner heads government affairs... dontquoteme
Let them go.
Na by force HQNigerianArmy MBuhari NGRPresident HouseNGR NigeriaGov nassnigeria
Pity! Shame. Nigeria military at it's lowest ebb. The message is clear: corruption carried too far.
Force? Smh.
It seams everything is wrong with this administration
Fake news
The headlines is not true. The Nigerian Army did not suspend voluntary retirement from the Army. A battalion suspended the process in a situation that looks like an 'arranged action'
This man is wicked
Fake news.
You people are not relevant anymore. You all have been exposed. We will beg Chad and their president to help us finish the BH war. Nigeria doesn’t have a President anyway.
Buratai should give way, he has tried his best but his best is not enough to win the war....

Fake news
Na byforce? Abeggie !
DreNwadugbo You voluntarily join the army, now you can't voluntarily resign. SMH
That order is illegal and unconstitutional, this is the effect of quota system promotion in the armed force
Na by force
This is suicidal. It sounds more like deliberate attempt to finally annihilate the last remaining ones.
Yea right!!! let remain in the army and die while you play politics and kalo kalo with my life right?
Why Voluntary retirement, were they not happy killing innocent people in Warri & beating bloody civilians all around Nigeria all bcos they are military? They must not allow them retire o, transfer them all to Sambisa forest to finish the battle while we endure their koboko.
HQNigerianArmy said it’s a fake news,take it down already
Is this not wickedness?
To what end if one may ask? When the body language of the administration clearly shows a lack of will to defeat the insurgency.... Is this a ploy to perpetuate certain officers in power beyond necessary?
Na by force now oh....
Why would dey go commit suicide, they weren't equipped to fight simplr
Fake news
Wow, that means people are running out. They don't need the job anymore, patriotism is lost.

since d war peaked in 13/14 it became vry difficult 2 voluntarily retire esp for rank & file, you need to know top officers to pull it off. Wat mst soldiers do is to blow AWOL leaving evertin behind. Still sme1 like myself is still willing to enlist if opportunity arises
Is preventing them from leaving the army going to boost their morale? The Generals profiting from Boko Haram business don't want to be left alone.
You dont arm them well, sabotage all their efforts, embezzle all the funds meant for the military and now you take away their right to retire. I guess we are going to have a lot of AWOL soldiers . Joining the military shouldn’t be a suicide mission. Protect your own!
Rubbish
Ya bụzi bu force?
This COAS (burutai) is very funny sha...so you want to finish innocent men who care about their family since you are In charge maybe you should be at the war front with them moreover it’s ur state that is giving the whole nation problem...
Oboi.... There is problem oo 😂....
Why would they suspend that? You can. Keep sending to go and die inside sabisa forest now. Common to provide those guys with sophisticated weapons you can't. Boko haram are now in our soldiers giving intels to boko haram to set ambush. Enough of all that
So you can go and kill them right or send them to Boko Haram with less powerful weapons so they can die and not enjoy their family..
Vampires parading themselves as generals 🙄
Lilian_Ogazi
Super story
Oga go and the lead war from the front .... learn from chadian president
No leave, no transfer
I tink ds directive is wicked&in bad taste even whn d Nigerian govt is nt yt ready 2 provide soldiers&officers d right tools needed 2 enable dem do d battle satisfactorily despite a humongous budget above $2.5bn
When did the Nigerian military become a cult group.? Why force those no longer interested in being a part of the military.?
Because no body is joining your suffer head army again. Beating people anyhow.
Thanks to General Adeniyi and other men who has come out to expose their evil agenda by the military top personnel who can't face Boko Haram but seat in the office and gave order and still sell them to their enemies. Many of them have been trapped in the northeast for years and
Shey they tie my legs to run?
AWOL button reset
ayemojubar I say I no dey do again... Nah by force.
Lol join NA and u must die dia. Well all this na for the people wey no know how japa
And thus our Army’s combat readiness and morale has been degraded 🤦🏾♂️ Our territory has already been degraded by foreigners with agendas. May this whole mess not lead to a military insurrection
iamxstyle
Don't send them to die equip them and they will deliver
Why would anyone want to die for a military that neglected its soldiers. Allow them live for their families
Hahahahahaha buratai is not willing to retire too
Soldiers have lost hope under MBuhari and are throwing in the towel. Lol...the entire APCNigeria scam came to steal, kill and destroy Nigeria. aishambuhari AishaYesufu BabajideOtitoju YakubDogara bukolasaraki atiku CIA HQNigerianArmy USArmy channelstv AIT_Online
I thought you were asked to relocate back to Maiduguri completely, why did you come back? Or the battle has been won? The solution to this problem of BH is simple, move all the top officers to the bush/forest where this thing is happening permanently.
So if you are tired now, you cannot rest again?
What's going on. Nothing should be forced on anyone. Buhari is free to employ everyone from Katsina to make up for the shortfall. Does the same thing in recruitment for DSS, ICPC, EFCC and etc
See them... Agents of the Devil... They know thats the next thing soldiers will do... Wicked people
?!!!
Why should they suspend that, while thousands of Soikdiers are stationed at every junction in the southeast. Why not make use of those soldiers
Na by force
I. E the truth of the matter. Our soldiers (are business men now) they lacks the patriotic and passion of their uniforms. They are after accumulating wealth at expense of insurgency. They are busy building mansions and establishing business for themselves. May Allah help us
HQNigerianArmy should expect result of demoralised troops in war front
Improve on the welfare and make the job attractive
Soldiers would quit continuously so long as their superiors are making a fortune out of it
Allow them to go , you're not a brave man, why will you allow yourself to be used. You have reduced Nigeria army to toy gun boys ... It's a pity you are an instrument for this. Free any one who feels his life is too important to his family. You can recruit your family members.
You want them to continue to die while you feed fat from the money meant for arms and ammunition including their Allowance Useless Man
Yes they should resigned because they have no benefits, no weapons, no good salary, the soldiers that has been dying what has they benefited from gov't? All Nigeria leaders and Army generals have hand in boko haram HQNigerianArmy NigerianNavy NigAirForce PoliceNG
Anu ohia
This is not right at all.
They have sign their death warrant
This is evil u send men to sit tightand waitto be attacked on all fronys by BH boys and while the army chief dine on the booty yet u wont want soldier to save themselves by retiring voluntarily then na to go AWOL
No time to die
Which war? Mmmmtschew. From what Chad has done we can see dat dese cretins re just a pack of nuisances dat cld have been done away with ages ago but Nigerian army ogas n politicians re using it to make money, wasting lives of young men in d army. It wont be well wit them
Who wan die ni? Equip the men and women of the armed forces and they will deliver.
Na to die there now ooo .
Is it by force ?
