"You will not see peace in this unit" A senior soldier has allegedly threatened his junior colleague for addressing him as "Officer" instead of using his rank or "sir." The incident, which has sparked concerns about discipline and respect within the armed forces, reportedly took place at an undisclosed location.

The senior soldier, whose name has not been disclosed, was said to have become visibly agitated when the junior referred to him as "Officer" rather than using his official rank or the customary "sir." Eyewitnesses claim that in a fit of anger, the senior soldier confronted the junior, stating, "You will not see peace in this unit if you continue disrespecting me in this manner."

Tensions reportedly escalated as the exchange continued, with the senior soldier emphasizing the importance of military etiquette and the hierarchy within the unit. The junior, taken aback by the strong reaction, attempted to explain that he meant no disrespect and was simply following what he believed to be the appropriate form of address.

What has addressing you with your rank caused you- demotes or elevates you? This is sheer display of arrogancy and inferiority complex.You can't be a gentleman office even among your subordinates. A course they taught them in the NDA.

Perhaps the officer should go to the battle field to enable BH terrorists help him assert the peeps rank he is bragging about. What nonsense! Discipline have really degenerated in the military.

That's too personal. That you are in one position today don't mean you would be there tomorrow

COMRADES this is unethical and unacceptable especially in African settings, you can't address your superior like that
Even in the office, do you call your manager by their names?

Chai..



...and one Lieutenant Colonel, two Majors, one Captain were among the military personnels that were just slaughtered in the recent incidence at Ughelli South of Delta State.


Similar scenario is the reason you'll hear that a junior personnel opened fire at his senior, killing him instantly.

...when intimidation becomes too much to bear!!


It is expected that our galant men and officers in the military are professional in both their internal and external conducts!!


Who are they??

He probably was expecting the junior ranked soldier to address him as Sir, but that one called him officer.

Officer is what civilians address junior officers as (including policemen) that's why the oga was angry. grin

In my opinion, I feel he shouldn't have bursted out like that. He took it so personal. That's a very poor behavior from someone of his status

He's a lieutenant ( an officer in the army)

Probably he wants him to address him by his rank.
That's the standard.

You don't know anything about the Army. Someone who ed the Army a week before you is your superior. You only address your mate as officer. Disciplinary action will be taken against the junior officer.

I actually learnt this lesson the hard way. I once called a Professor, Mr unconsciously grin

I was a young and naive jambite. I was fresh out of secondary school so I didn't put much thought into titles.

Bachelor of Science

Luckily for me, she was a spinster too.
