Does Nigeria have a parachute regiment? - that'll be interesting.

But these folks still don't know how to carry guns smh.

Please knowledgeable people should enlighten me on the direct short service combatants for graduates.
Is the 9 months only for training alone?

no need to wish, NDA is a big scam, you can't get admission there unless you spend at least 600k. or if your papa na higher rank army or related

OP,the NDA is more or less a primary schl when compared to the American defense academy. We 've not got there yet.

With all these training facilities, BOKO HARAM still hands their a**es over to them in battle. #wonders

redsun:


Melo what? NDA candidates are allocated quotas to all the corrupt Nigerians. All the prospective candidates attends the entrance exams with letters from their god fathers,so a candidate without one hass no chance,irrespective of his or her mental intelligence and physical prowess.

Nigeria is a rogue country,so is the military. And you likely to be a rogue too.

Bros,there is no harder life than this,no wonder the likes of Buhari are still strong till date,i bet he also went through all these harsh trainings,but to my believe,all soldiers could be so ruthless and killing another human is nothing to them

Just like the NYSC, the intention to establish the NDA was good, but the practices have made a mess of everything.
One retired officer, a Lt. Col I met recently said that the army has lost its way in Nigeria beginning from the admission practices at NDA. Because of quota system, you have some with a score of 490 out of say 500 from Anambra, Imo, Delta, or Oyo sitting in the same classroom with someone who scored 20 or 30 out of 500 from Katsine, Zamfara, or Kano.
Or worse still, someone who had successfully bribed his way into the class room could be your class mate.
My friend made another good point: once you're admitted through corruption and compromise of the scores, you always remain corrupt, and cheat your way till retirement! Only in Nigeria.
Compared to other national defense academies established about the same time in other nations like India, Brazil, and Malaysia, our NDA is a sorry sight.
