Would You Allow Your Child Join The Military Rather Than Go To University? by xynerise: 7:50am On Dec 26, 2013
After he is through with secondary school, he told you he doesn't want to go to the university, that he loves the military and he wants to join the Army. Would you give him your support, considering the fact that you can't choose a career for your children?

If he is not my only son and if he agreed to finish his secondary education

I'll not only allow him, I'll also buy him a rifle!
I am not a fan of "my child must be doc, engr etc and all that stunts.."




btw, Nigerian Defence Academy is a proper university meant for the military. Infact, they run Postgraduate programmes.

No. He must attend a university first, before joining the military.

The Nigeria Defence Serves (NDA) serves as a university, its even much more better than most universities
Re: Would You Allow Your Child Join The Military Rather Than Go To University? by Nobody: 10:02am On Dec 26, 2013
To join the US Army and gun down perpetrators like G.I Joe - Yes!

To join the Nigerian Army and combat evil spirits down in the sub sahara - Hell NO!

I think so.

My brother wanted to go to NMS and we allowed him. He did not meet the required age though. He was too young and by the time he could, he'd lost interest.

The only thing you should not allow is him going as a recruit. That is like big suffer suffer. He can go to NDA or You can encourage him to finish his university education and then go for short service. That will put him on a better ranking.

I wouldn't mind the short service sef..That is so much respect and the money is quite good plus You get the good feel of serving your Nation.

I can't encourage my children to be TRAINED KILLERS!

Re: Would You Allow Your Child Join The Military Rather Than Go To University? by deols(f): 5:16pm On Dec 26, 2013
Not everyone in the military kills though wink
Re: Would You Allow Your Child Join The Military Rather Than Go To University? by Kanwulia: 5:35pm On Dec 26, 2013
Direct killer vs indirect killer. . . all na the same!

If your child does not have a UNIVERSITY EDUCATION. . .joining the military only means one thing.
YOU ARE GOING TO BE A KILLING MACHINE!

Stay in school, then the military will not be an option!

How many military personnel acquire formal UNIVERSITY education?

ONLY 'OLODOS' opt for such line of work! kiss

I pray none of my kids decides to become such! AMEN!!!

TUFIAAAAAAAAAAAAKWA again!!! kiss

I would gladly encourage him or her. Wish my folks did the same for me when I wanted to attend NDA to join the navy.

Absolutely! That was what my parents wanted for me. NDA, not the short training type oh. lol
But getting in wasn't easy.. in a different line presently.
