The fight against corruption took a new twist on Monday with the re-introduction of the War Against Indiscipline, WAI, Brigade in Abuja by the federal government.
Unveiling the brigade, the Buhari-led Federal Government explained that the body will aide civil intelligence gathering in the area of insecurity, violence, kidnapping, and other forms of social vices.
Speaking during the unveiling, the Director General of National Orientation Agency, NOA, Dr Garba Abari said the current administration decided to re-introduce the programme for better performance in the fight against indiscipline and corruption
Recall that Buhari while he was the Military Head of State from 1984 to 1985, had introduced WAI as a panacea for corruption and to force Nigerians into exhibiting correct ethical conduct.
The programme then had gained so much popularity, as Nigerians disciplined themselves to do the right thing. The culture even continued for a while after he was ousted.
WAI was, however, criticised for human rights abuses regarding freedom, justice and equality, as the military brought its powers to bear in enforcing discipline on Nigerians.

Oga Buhari,abeg 1 derica of rice is N350. I can't even eat well again. Spaghetti ti take over.
ReplyDeleteThis Buhari should go and rest jare. we are not interested. Things are not ok at all. When i went to do my hair, my stylist was telling me that a gallon of kerosene is just N1,000. Can you imagine.

DeleteIs that wat nigerians want??? Abeg me I'm getting tired of this country? Light we no see, 1million jobs we no see. Na only dollar dey go up like say 2moro no dey.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaahhaha just what we need in this our obodo naijaria. The lawlessness is just too much.
ReplyDeleteBuhari is Nigeria's Karma for rejecting GEJ!
ReplyDeleteIts no longer war against kwaraption but war against indiscipline. Meanwhile,things are getting worse by the day!
Gbam at your first sentence!...
DeleteThis is a good initiative.
ReplyDeleteVery wise of him to reintroduced this.
End time WAI
ReplyDeleteGood,no more beating traffic light or throwing gala paper or pure water sachet by the roadside.
ReplyDeleteGood one. Nigerians queue up where there is no queue in other countries but once they enter Nigeria, they become larger than life itself and start pooing and peeing all over the place like baby rats and cockroaches.
Cameroun no far oh, you can easily relocate & maybe start eating gala in plastic wraps not in paper
DeleteTrying to implement 1980s policies in 2016.This man is so stuck in the past that he has become a source of national embarrassment. So much for "CHANGE".
ReplyDeleteThat policy worked then, we were disciplined. No man or woman will deer urinate on road side.
DeleteDeer ko reindeer ni. Iti akwu!
DeleteMake James continue to dey throway pure water & corn cob from danfo & marwa, 500 frog jumps!
ReplyDeleteThis man called Buhari still lives in the 80s..
ReplyDeleteHmmm....
ReplyDeleteIs this what we really need right now?
WAR AGAINST POVERTY (WAP) could have been better oh!
You guys should focus on revamping the economy not all these wasteful gestures. A hungry man is an angry man...and WAI should have enough space to accommodate pple because an angry is capable of doing anyhow and u guys are capable of showing them anyhow. First thing first
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell... people to flog us? Instead of this man to make its law n judiciary system very stable and upright so that who ever is found guilty will be charged and become an ex con... that way our lawyers will stop wasting and the law system won't be slow like snail... why bring people to oppress citizens. Isn't this democracy again?
ReplyDeleteLmao. I remember seeing people's fathers doing frog jump anytime they crossed the express road back then. Just by the foot bridge, The uniformed men will carry whip and ask them to hold their ears while they frog jumped. Oh lawd.. Ahahah
DeleteSisi eko you're so 1970s and late... Lol just kidding!
DeleteWho WAI brigade epp bikonu?...
ReplyDeleteNigerians are hungry and you are initiating WAI brigade...this Vuharia is just empty!...
Papa please rest your bones
ReplyDeleteafter listening to animal in human skin by fela I now realise that history indexed repeats itself
ReplyDeleteWe don't need this please. War against poverty is the koko right now. This is democracy for goodness sake.
ReplyDeleteAnd salaries would be paid to instill discipline so we don't drop plastic bags or pee at the roadside etc! Is this necessary now ? Buhari another erdogan
ReplyDeleteYes it is necessary. Whether or not you're poor and hungry, doesn't mean you should live a filthy life style.. Nigerians should learn to keep their environment clean. PERIOD!
DeletePeople are so short sighted. Do we realize that WAI will create new job opportunities for people???? The Economy is harsh but it is not every government initiative that should be. criticized. Please be constructive and objective in your criticism at least . The Wailers will never see anything good bcos they are blinded by hatred for the Buhari led government.
ReplyDeleteAnon 22:40 it is very well with your soul. Dont lose hope, God has never deserted his people. Look up to him. God will put back that smile on you.
