LACK OF DECENCY IN OUR SERVICEWOMEN

Even though this issue is simple and straightforward, I still don't know where to start. When I think about it, it makes me wanna puke. I watch official functions on TV, I walk on the road, I walk past military bases.. all I see is Nigerian servicewomen looking worse than prostitutes. And they're in uniform! Skin-tight, butt-expressing uniforms! All the curves are there for anyone who cares to look and I'm sure a lot of servicemen care to look. I may not be in the military, but I know enough about that organization to be sure that its biggest foundation is discipline and one of the biggest components of military discipline is appropriate dressing. So if our servicewomen are dressing the way they are currently dressing, then it's safe to say that our military lacks discipline and a military that lacks discipline should not be called a military. Women in the service were hired to carry out several duties. Whether they can or do carry them out is a story for another day, but the big question is: Is being a sex idol one of those duties??

 

PS: It seems this is now and inspiration for other female uniformed women, including gatekeepers!

NIGERIAN NAVY: Uniform & Uniformity 1

Looking at the Nigerian Armed Forces, it's not really an inspiring sight for many reasons. But the least inspiring of them is the Nigerian Navy for so many reasons. Today I'll talk about a certain part of the uniform: the insignia of Naval ratings, especially the standard white and blue tops. I also have issues with the insignia on the new general camouflage, but that's a story for another day. My focus now is on the size and pattern of the insignia on the uniforms of Naval ratings. 

I see a lot of Navy personnel regularly (their general behavior is a not-very-beautiful story for another day) and I notice a lot of things, their insignia being one of them. The insigne of an average Naval rating is way too tiny and bad-looking. And in my experience, there is very little to no uniformity in insignia among ratings, especially the rank of Seaman. Sizes are very different and they're all very small and patterns are extremely very diverse. In only one Naval command, I've seen dozens of very different looking Seaman insignia and some were as small as only a few inches in area. This is actually a direct opposite to what I see on the arms of Airforce and Army personnel. The Navy seems worse than the Police which leaves its personnel to provide their entire uniform for themselves. As a result, everyone designs what he/she likes, so some look like gatemen, professional dancers, messengers, etc. Most times, I have to squint at the tiny cap badge to identify them as Naval personnel. For Christ's sake, even Boys Scout and Man-o-war does better, why the hell is the Navy the way it is? I can't attempt to call on the authorities to do anything about this since that would be no better than talking to myself, but I do hope that one day soon, our Navy will get the right leadership that would fix this and many other problems.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

The President and members of his party will always say, 'PDP is to blame. They have to tell us what they did with Nigeria's money for 16 years.' You know, I came across a joke some years ago. Here it is: 

 

 ~A happy couple, any time they had sex, the man would always insist the lights be turned off first. It continued for a very long time and the woman kept wondering why on earth her husband always wanted the lights off. One night, while they were in the middle of the operation, the woman suddenly turned on the lights. Yep, she did, and she saw something shocking. Her husband had been using a battery-operated sex toy! She went bonkers and told him, "You better start explaining this!" He replied and said, "Okay, darling. I'll explain the toy, and you'll explain the kids." ~ 

 

So I'm saying to Mr. President and his cheerleaders, "If you want PDP to explain their 16 years, that's Okay. Provided you also explain your 4 years. What did you do with all the loans and annual budgets in the last four years? Or did PDP steal them too under your watch? Yes, we know that we have to know where we are coming from before we know where we are going to, but you forget that there's something else in between: where we currently are. So, Buhari and party, where are we now?"
