London, United Kingdom – E be like say wetin suppose bring hope don turn wahala as British Army don suspend use of Ajax armoured vehicles. Dis decision come after plenty soldiers complain say dem dey feel sick after their recent military exercise. Na wah! Soldiers wey participate for training wey happen for Salisbury Plain report symptom wey include vibration and hearing issues. Some even dey vomit, others dey shake like say dem no fit control body again (talk about bad vibes).

As dem carry dem enter dis expensive £10 million vehicle, e no be small ordeal. Reports show say thirty-one soldiers from two regiments – the Household Cavalry and the Royal Lancers – no fit handle di 10 to 15 hours inside di vehicle during di drill weekend wey just pass. E be like dem turn dem to rocking chairs instead of actual soldiers!

Dis Ajax program don dey trace road back since 2010 and na serious money wey na £6.3 billion dem don invest. Imagine de level of expectation where dem don put for dis vehicle, just to find out say soldiers dey sick after dem enter am. Wetin be all dis? Na elite fighting vehicle wey dem dey hype as di ‘most advanced’ on top di planet. But as di matter stand, e be like say na dream wey don turn nightmare.

Defence Minister Luke Pollard, wey don showcase di vehicle and gree say e safe just weeks ago, don find himself in hot water as im chop di news about di sickness wey soldiers dey experience. Na him still call press conference come talk say safety na top priority. But di matter don don turn for him neck, as dem go ask am serious questions about di vehicle’s state.

Na just last week dem declare say di Ajax don reach initial operating capability, meaning dem go fit start operation. But wahala no dey ever finish for dis program wey don experience one delay after di other, including noise and vibration issues wey don affect soldiers since 2021. Person wey don lose balance and dey face motion issues no suppose dey fighting for protect dem country, abeg.

Now, soldiers dey use dual-layer headsets to help contain di noise from di vehicle but e no seem to work well, as dem dey still experience symptoms. If na me, I go don dey look for better solution. But dem still dey preach di gospel of di Ajax program like say na messiah wey go save di army.

As di investigation dey happen, una fit believe say General Dynamics, di company wey produce di vehicles, don fail to respond to press requests. Wetin happen? Na dem turn blind eye to di wahala wey dey happen for inside di vehicle? E be like say soldiers’ health no dey matter for dis program as dem dey manage more serious issues like hearing losses and other wahala. Na serious matter wey deserve urgent attention.

The Army don say dey go pause all use of di Ajax for two weeks but we go see wetin go happen after di investigation. As for now, di future of di Ajax na one big question mark and soldiers wey depend on am dey ask, ‘How we go fit fight di war, if dis vehicle dey make us sick?’
