Nigerian Army Public relations Samanja et al by Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth London, England
There is a news report featuring the Nigerian army
being flashed around the globe
The public relations officer of the Nigerian army has quickly moved in
To correct what is thought to be a wrong notion about the nigerian army
it looks like there is a community relations challenge in respect of the nigerian army
Deploying soldiers to the streets of perhaps the 36 states and fct
To properly position the rank and file Nigerian soldier in the scheme of things
, i would like to suggest we bring back the television comedy Samanja. By Arewa players which serves to look at the world through the life of a rank and file soldier Samanja,
Samanja is only human,he has hopes , fears, aspirations, he experiences pain and wades through perils. Samanja is the man at the roadblock. He is only human
In this way we might gradually establish a mutually beneficial relationship between the soldiers and their host community.
Lastly, perception can win or lose so many things. The Nigerian army should be seen to be respected by the allies, feared by the enemy and loved by the Nigerian people. Perhaps success lies in perception and not just recruiting more troops as some politicians are saying. Perception can win or loose so many things,
