he did not answer, but yes, all personnel are paid and promoted as they would be when they are POWs. Hence a Bowe Berghdal being captured a pfc and being released a Ssg.

Not the OP/AMA dude, but Nigeria's problem is pretty complicated. Here is the way I see it. European nationalism was established through blood, i.e borders were drawn by war/conflict. Nigeria was/is an amalgamation of different tribes (who were it not for colonialism would have had to evolve the very same way). Thats first. So already you have a bunch of people who really have nothing in common. Imagine the British, French, Germans and Poles trying to build an run a country together. Different language, different customs, I could go on. Secondly, corruption is so deeply rooted I see no hope for the near future. Corruption in Nigeria is certainly driven from the top, as those at the bottom without have no choice (the police on the street come to mind here). There are only 3 things that will truly and surely change Nigeria; 1. A very strong willed dictator/leader with foresight (problem with this? is imagine a post Yugoslavia Tito) 2. The break of the federation, which would likely cause another civil war because the resources (oil) are mostly in one region. 3) A very broad and bloody revolution, I am thinking French or Russian here. One with very deep consequences that changes the political and societal landscape. Until either one of these happens, we (they) are fucked.

PHCN is gone brah, all power is now to be privatized. Apparently its gotten worse. For reddittors, NEPA (Never Expect Power Always) PHCN (Please Hold Candle Now)

there is no 2nd airborne division and has never been, not in WWII Korea or Nam, never ever.

NEPA had such a lovely ring to it, especially when they gave you power "UP NEPA!!!!" Kids in the west don't have any appreciation for the ability of being able to turn on the TV whenever. Nothing worse than having your sunday morning cartoon interrupted by power outage.
