Is that a smartwatch the chief of army staff is wearing? Is that good enough for someone of his caliber and strategic importance to Nigerias defence?
I watching a Chinese military channel with a Chinese some years back and she told me that there was a government order that their military personnels should not be using western made phones. Obviously they worried they were being tracked. Top military officials of a big country like Nigeria are always of special interests to top intelligence agencies around the globe. They want to know what you are doing and where you are. Gadgets like this make it easy for these neo colonialists groups to predict your next line of actions. And what more? They might be working with boko haram....

You must be joking, there's a tech war between China and US for obvious reasons. There's no country in the world including Russia that doesn't use US software for its intelligence.

Yeye people everywhere! 😒

What an unserious country. Shehu borno helped buhari to fight terrorist, you all know how it goes, the country is almost dead and until the government start to function then there's no end to this war.

By now agencies like immigration should be rounding up all the illegal chadians, nigeriens Malians etc. A lot of these national are behind terrorism in this country.

Smartwatch, I wanted to say..
Anything that is connected to satellites and in the Internet, can easily be located..

Not sure it is a smartwatch anyways..

Good move, they are the ones who know their guys.

He meant to say a smart watch. A watch that can also make phone calls, text etc. of course the COAS is wearing a smart watch but it's a nothing rant.

He doesn't know who made the smart watch hence trying to sound too clever for his level.

Even Bible says “there is authority in the words of a king”. Smart move, very clever as the kings directive will be obeyed by the militants. Jagaban really came prepared. God bless Nigeria

That's why he first went to beg them. If the bokoboys now continue, they won't blame him if he start killing them like rats.

The CoAS looks fat. Reminds me of Alex Badeh, another fat soldier who used to run things.

Sir the watch is not what you think it is. I can't give you detail of it.
But it's safe sir and it's a special type.

Have a great day
